I've been wanting to get this feature back on my wife's KF that I flashed to ICS.

the Amazon Video app WILL NOT work on a Nexus 7. It won't run on ICS or higher.
You have to download the flash apk and use an alternative browser such as firefox, ics browser + or dolphin and watch through the browser.
i have read reports that Jelly Bean 4.1.1 breaks flash so you can't even install it, in which case amazon video is impossible on the Nexus 7.

Questions go in the Q&A section

Install the apk & use Dolphin HD to watch Amazon Instant Video via web browser.
EDIT: I included flash player from my TiBU

Is this the most recent one?

Got it working!
Have an SGS III with CM10 JellyBean Nightly (cm-10-20121008.....). Ran it from the stock browser provided by CM10. User Agent was left as default (Android). I installed the flash file provided by the above link. I did have to request Full Site to view. Cannot view from mobile site.

How do you get flash video streams to work?

I had an older adobe flash 11 version apk i installed and that didnt work. It only showed the blue cube symbol. Any way to make it work?
I use Dolphin Browser HD 8.5.1 and Flash 11.1.115.17 and get no problems other than full screen not working.
Another one of these...
Boat browser + latest Flash *.apk (here on xda). No problems at all, even full screen works properly.
Or Firefox + flash 11.1.115.17.

Thanks, was worried because on the sgn didnt have this issue with an older version of flash and on the nexus 7 it didnt work. Also, when I went into playstore to get the adobe flash it said was compatible with my device which sucked.
1. Flash: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html (scroll down to Flash for Android 4.0)
2. Browser:
Firefox: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm9yZy5tb3ppbGxhLmZpcmVmb3giXQ..
Boat: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...r.free&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

Boat doesn't work for me with .17 Flash. I get the blue cube symbol as well so I'm sticking with Firefox which plays 90% of the videos I've tried at least.
I must have something wrong in the settings for the Boat Browser is all I can think of.
When I go to the Flash Application Settings the only choices there are Peer Networking or Local Storage. Whatever the heck I'm suppose to choose outta the two there baffled me so I just left it on local storage and it doesn't let me go any further than that but at least Firefox works set that way.
Never mind. I didn't have .17 after all.
Got 11.1.115.17 for ICS from the Adobe dev site and both Boat and Firefox beta play Amazon Prime video with sound full screen now.
Guess I don't need to sell my N7 and get a Fire HD after all.
I am having the same problem with Boat and the last couple of versions of Dolphin will not let you enable Flash.
I tried Firefox and can get the video but no sound.
I am using the latest Flash apk from the Adobe dev site, do I need to use the modified apk from xda instead?
Where can I get an older version of the Dolphin apk, before they blocked Flash?

Flash Installer - One click Adobe Flash for Jellybean

Adobe Flash has been removed from the Google Play store. Jellybean devices do not have Flash any longer, making the browsing experience no better than that of an iPhone.
Adobe Flash can be installed by just installing the newest version of the apk, which takes unnessecary searching on the web.
Hence, I created the app "Flash Installer", simply click install, and forget about it. It will prompt you to install flash and then disappear and never bother you again.
Download the app here and give your Jellybean device a dose of Adobe Flash. Boost your browsing experience!
Download (click image): (or click https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=genius.mohammad.flashinstaller)
Clicking anywhere on the picture, I was unable to download this file. It just zooms in the image itself.

Just updated to the latest version. Should hit Google Play within an hour or so.
Guaranteed to work. Also comes with Holoweb browser since it supports Flash well.
Link does not work, please post an updated one or the .apk
Thanks!
You can always manually find the latest version of Adobe flash for Android here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
Scroll down the page to "Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives"
As of this post, this is the latest version of Adobe Flash for Android 4.0*
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.27/install_flash_player_ics.apk
*There is no official support or version for Android 4.1 and up, but the ICS version works without issue (well, some browsers have issues with it or dont support it, but none of my built-in CM10 device browsers have issue and work flawlessly)
All of the above being said, as its unsupported, its all YMMV (or, your own mileage may vary)
i'm flashed again.
the alfa romeo site is a good flash based site to check the app.

Q: how to play flash video on websites using firefox or chrome?

Hey all, I have gotten my new nexus 10 and loving it! I rooted it and unlocked it already but I can't get flash to work I tried installing the flash 11.1 apk and restarted but firefox or google is a no go. I have 4.2.1 running as of now, could someone please point me in the right direction to getting flash installed on here? Thanks!
Chrome does not support flash. Quick Google search revealed:

http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-android-supports-flash-learn-how-enable-itI don't use Firefox so I don't know if it works.
Alternatively, AOSP browser, Boat browser, ocean browser, and maxthon support flash.

thanks so much! For some odd reason the flash version I got didn't work, following your guide got both firefox and dolphin browser to work flawlessly! Let's hope all flash site works.
Is there anyway to stop the Flash version of Dolphin apk from being automatically updated to the latest non-Flash version?

[Q] Amazon video

I am trying to get amazon videos to work on my nexus 7. I have an otherwise stock 4.2.2. I found a post on this forum that had a link to download the kindle fire rom and I extracted the apk files and installed the ones mentioned in the post. All of them install except account and sync settings. i created the amazon account in the settings menu and tried to open the video app but it keeps crashing. Has anyone been able to get this working on a nexus 7?
I use firefox and flash. It freezes up every once in a while bit for the most part it works.

I tried Firefox and dolphin browser but neither would recognize that flash was installed. Dolphin browser flat says they won't support flash in 4.2.

It will not work. It is dependent on the KF's framework files and OS verification. The post you followed is extremely outdated.
Until Amazon chooses to provide support, the only workaround is to use a compatible web browser and Flash.

The latest update of dolphin doesn't support flash. Boat browser works for me. Only enable flash when you want to watch amazon videos. Since the last jb update having flash enabled will cause the browser to lock up on websites that have embedded video.

you need to sideload it. search google for the apk and install it by transferring it to your phone. Make sure you have install from unknown sources enabled under the security settings.

Download xscope browser, first time you open it it prompts you to download flash and you click the button and it's done.

If you are using OS android 4.4 kitkat then you will have install flash player manually
1. Enable the installing of APK files by checking Unknown Sources on the settings just like on Android Jelly Bean.
2. Download the Boat or Dolphin Browser from the Google Play Store.
3. If you are using Dolphin, download the Dolphin Jetpack app as well from the Play Store.
4. Download the Adobe Flash version 11.1.115.81 on your mobile device using a browser or to the computer. You need to copy and paste the APK to the mobile device if you downloaded it on a computer.
5. Go to the File Manager then tap on the APK to install Adobe Flash.
6.As the installation complete, launch Boat or Dolphin browser then go to the browser’s settings to enabled Flash plugin.
Once your device has Adobe Flash, mobile browsers can now access and load Web pages with Flash content displays just like desktop browsers.
