Okay we get it: Jobs will not love Flash. So there is no way soon that Apple will officially make it possible for Flash on its iPhones, iPads or iPod Touch, but that isn’t going to stop 3rd-party programmers 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 can easily do it by visiting JailbreakMe.com on your iPhone’s Safari and slide to jailbreak. Or, you can use redsn0w, PwnageTool, or Sprint to jailbreak your iPhone 4.

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

3. tap on Sources, then click on Edit at the top right corner.

4. Click on Add in the top left corner, and it will have a window showing up that says “Enter Cydia/APT URL”.

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

6. In the bottom bar, select ’search”, inside the upper search bar, enter “frash”.

7. Click on “frash” within the results, and click on “Install” button at the top right corner.

8. Let it finish and restart your iPhone.

Enjoy your iPhone now loaded flash capability.

Although, Frash is still in its very early stage so it may crash on occasion, nor will it run Flash video contents such as YouTube. But for simple Flash contents, it should be able to play. It’s a good start and surely it’ll 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.

Tell us how Frash goes on your iPhone.
