How to Install Flash On The iPad

Last week, Comex, the developer behind the Spirit jailbreak, gave us a preview of Frash, which is nothing less but Flash for Android ported to the iPad. Today it seems someone released a .deb of Frash, and while Comex is not opposed to it, you’ve got to understand it’s just an alpha version

This tutorial will show you how to install Frash/Flash on a jailbroken iPad.
Step 1: Make sure your iPad is jailbroken. If not, jailbreak your iPad using Spirit.
Step 2: Download Frash.deb. For legal reasons, I cannot link to the file but a Google search can go a long way, if you know what I mean…
Step 3: SSH into your iPad and navigate to /var/root/Media.
Step 4: In the Media folder, create a folder called “Cydia”. Open the Cydia folder you just created and create another folder called “AutoInstall”.
Step 5: Upload Frash.deb to the AutoInstall folder.
Step 6: Reboot your iPad a few times.
Done! Now navigate to any site that uses Flash. You should see the red F logo where Flash is played. Tap the logo and the Flash animation will start playing
Again, this is just an alpha version that wasn’t even officially released by Comex. You may want to try it just for fun if you dare. I suspect it will be posted in a repo on Cydia soon so you may want to wait for that.
I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
