Alright we got it: Jobs isn’t going to love Flash. So there is no way in the near future that Apple will officially permit Flash on its iPhones, iPads or iPod Touch, but that won’t stop 3rd-party developers from trying it. Indeed, Comex just came up with Frash for iPhone so you can now play Flash if your iPhone 4 is jailbroken.

Here’s how.

1. Jailbreak your iPhone 4. You could easily do so by browsing JailbreakMe.com on your iPhone’s Safari and slide to jailbreak. Alternatively, you can use redsn0w, PwnageTool, or Sprint to jailbreak your iPhone 4.

2. Launch Cydia from iPhone’s home screen. In the bottom bar, click on Manage.

3. Choose Sources, then select Edit at the top right corner.

4. Select Add in the top left corner, and you will see a window popping up saying “Enter Cydia/APT URL”.

5. Type in “repo.benm.at/” after “http://” in the blank, and tap on “Add Source”. Cydia will begin downloading releases and reloading data. Allow it to finish and press “Done” at the top right corner.

6. In the bottom bar, select ‘search”, within the upper search bar, enter “frash”.

7. Select “frash” in the results, and hit “Install” button at the top right corner.

8. Allow it to finish and restart your iPhone.

Enjoy your iPhone now loaded flash functionality.

Although, Frash is still in its very early stage so it may crash from time to time, nor will it run Flash video contents such as YouTube. But for simple Flash contents, it should play. It’s a good start and surely it’s going to be upgraded frequently towards the full Flash capability and great stability.

Tip: also you can install Frash Toggle to enable or disable it in SBS anytime you want.
