How can I watch videos from the BBC web site on a device with an ARMv6 processor?
The BBC web site has many pages with videos, e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/academy/technology/article/art20150206154333467 On Android, the page prompts me to install the "BBC Media Player" app, but unfortunately this app requires an ARMv7 processor, but I have ARMv6.

On Android, the page prompts me to install the "BBC Media Player" app, but unfortunately this app requires an ARMv7 processor, but I have ARMv6.
Are there any other ways of persuading these videos to play?

Why does my ZTE Score have so much trouble emulating video game consoles + games?
I have an ARM v6 600 MHz revision 5 CPU with 512 MB RAM. The GPU is an Adreno 200 with 245 MHz clock speed. It seems that anything in the 3-D realm, including some 2-D games, have trouble emulating perfectly smooth. I realize that 600 MHz CPUs are pretty poor these days, especially single-core and w...
I have an ARM v6 600 MHz revision 5 CPU with 512 MB RAM. The GPU is an Adreno 200 with 245 MHz clock speed.
It seems that anything in the 3-D realm, including some 2-D games, have trouble emulating perfectly smooth. I realize that 600 MHz CPUs are pretty poor these days, especially single-core and with dated microarchs.
Some emulators also exhaust the CPU. My question is, is this ability to perform emulation based more on the hardware or software on Android-powered devices? It has to be a little of both, but I'm using Gingerbread.
Do any newer Android OSes have better demand, or am I limited solely by the CPU?

Is it possible to get bbciplayer working on an arm v6 device?

Have been playing about flashing modded firmware to an older android device which has an arm v6 processor and have been disappointed in not being able to view any media through bbciplayer either through the app or online.
Checking out the bbc help pages regarding this is confusing as they confirm bbciplayer should run on android 2.1 and up. The fairly recent addition of needing the bbcmediaplayer installed to play any bbc media through either the bbciplayer app or their website means that this device appears to be unable to play bbciplayer media at all. After researching on bbc's help pages this is due to bbciplayer using adobe air 3 for which demands arm v7 minimum specification.
Is it possible to run adobe air 3 on an arm v6 device?

I want to know if I take the
mkfs.ext3
file, or any other mkfs file, from another Linux system like Ubuntu, and put it with my mkfs.vfat
and mkfs.ext2
located at /system/xbin
, Would it work?
And how can I call them from terminal emulator?
If relevant, I have a Huawei u8160 running Cyanogenmod 7.2.
----------
**EDIT:**
I realized that it cannot be taken from Ubuntu or any non-ARMv6 built system ,so my question now is: Where can I find binaries that are built for ARMv6 phone? (at least mkfs ones(except mkfs.vfat and mkfs.ext2,I already have them) ).
