It really depends on what you mean by flash videos. The FLV video format is supported by a number of apps on the play store (VPlayer is one example).
The official Adobe Flash Player app is confirmed as working (there is a thread in this section id you search for it titled '[Q] Does Adobe Flash Player install/work on Jelly Bean?'). However, Adobe have stated that they will not support 4.1 and later, and will drop support completely after August 15th.
Short answer: Yes, it will work without support from Adobe. It may stop working at any point in the future.
Ok thanks heaps.
Just one question, will I be able to use the chrome browser with Adobe flash player? Or would I need to use a different browser?
Cheers

Chrome doesn't support Adobe flash so just use ICS Browser + (or almost any other browser, really).

Adobe will be removing the flash app from the market, so make sure you save a copy of the APK
I have personally confirmed that flash works with 4.1 on firefox. But any browser that says it supports flash should work.
Chrome will not.
and as Censura said, save a copy of the APK because on August 15th it's being removed from the market for new downloads.
OK thanks heaps, I can't wait for my n7 to arrive now

I restored a previous backup. Ditto with the fullscreen crashing, both in Dolphin HD and Opera Mobile browsers.
Kind of bummed too, since one of the main purposes of finding a reason to buy the N7 in the first place was to be able to watch anime on it. Usually 5 out of 6 alternate video links are flash, and the html5 won't full screen..
Is there an addon or app that can be installed that would take over the inline streamed feed?
is there anyway to watch noobroom.com videos on nexus 7 ?
This is the best solution I have found

Great site, thanks
I loaded up 'the Raven' on Mozilla and looks like it let me go to the full screen without crashing, if the other videos are using the same embedded then it should work no problem but if not then use my 'trick' for those
thanks everyone, I'll try sideloading firefox later today with the plugin.
Any ideas if Nexus 4 will be able to play flash via side loading the APK?
I think the Nexus 7 could through the stock browser (google chrome)... hopefully this can too.
although i'll be glad when flash has died on the web.
It wouldn't be able to through chrome. You would need to flash the stock browser and flash.

maybe it was the stock browser and i just failed to remember it properly!
Firefox for Android also supports Flash. That's about all I use it for. Dolphin removed support a few versions back.
Old stock android browser would not install for me. I installed adobe flash, and am currently using Firefox Beta to view flash content.

Hi All,
How can we play facebook games on Nexus 4? These games require Adobe flash player 11.1 and now Adobe has discontinue its support to Android. You cant even get the flash player from Google Play Store
I'm a huge fan of Farmville and Criminal case and I cant play these games on Nexus 4 (at least till now).
I tried them on Opera, Chrome, UC and Firefox to no avail...
Is anyone able to play facebook games on this phone?
I could not find any threads related to this issue so creating this thread. Please post your experiences.

Thanks for your reply. So isn't there any way to have the flash player working on Nexus 4?
You can get flash player on the Nexus 4. The issue is using flash to play those games since you can't even access those facebook games.
You can check if the developer of the Facebook games have made Apps for them on the play store
Here is the link to Flash for Jelly Bean on the Nexus 4:

Good luck
Surprisingly you can install adobe flash for ICS even on jellybean.

You can't play those games on your phone. Please don't do that to such a nice device. Poor nexus.
Sorry I just hate Facebook games.
I'm sure its mainly a browser issue. Browser and flash have to be married in harmony for things to work right.

I installed and checked with Firefox beta. It's always redirecting to Farmville express (even if the check box for loading desktop version is checked) and for Criminal case it is showing that the game is loading but even after loading it 100% it is not going to actual game
Any suggestions?

For general information the stock web browser will still support Flash. You can sideload Flash to the device and play videos and view other sites requiring Flash. I was searching the internet and wanted to see a clip but it required Flash. I downloaded the latest Flash Player and installed. Worked fine with the stock browser.

Just curious about where do you download the flash player.
Just google Adobe Flash Player 11.1_11.1.115.34-1.apk you should find somewhere to download it

Download from adobe:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.54/install_flash_player_ics.apk
Dolphin Browser works best with flash player, but you need to root the phone and hack the settings.
Use Root Explorer or similar app to edit mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml from data/data/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
change the line string name="plugin_state" from OFF to ON or ON_DEMAND and save

It works 100% with mine.
I understood that Dolphin removed flash support, so it will not work with the current revision of either Dolphin or Dolphin beta. However Boat browser still supports it. I understand there is a work around hack, but its not worth my time when another browser works just as well.

For those who want to stream video via Amazon Prime, experiences have been generally negative. I had no luck with stock or xscope and others have had little luck with other browsers. Other than that, Flash experience has been OK for me.

The stock browser already support flash player. Beside, you may try Boat Browser, but have to purchase the pro license keys. Another choice is Lightning Browser.
However, I am searching for the compatible version of the adobe flash player, the latest and last version is 11.1.115.69, but it does not seems to be stable as I thought the latest should be bugs fixed and stability. I have tried to roll back to 11.1.115.54 and is more stabilise.

Flash works perfectly for me. I'm rooted and replaced the default browser (Chrome) by renaming the BrowserProviderProxy.apk and BrowserProviderProxy.odex and copying in the Browser.apk from the AOSP Nexus browser. Side-loaded flash for mobile from the Adobe site. Search a little and you'll find lots more info about this. Other users claim Flash support on other browsers, but I haven't used them.
People like to use Firefox and install the flash apk. I have honestly never needed to use flash player though.
