Can't install.. Firefox.. Justin tv viewer... flash player.. doom... and more.. . What gives? So frustrating!! Now I have to root my supposed Pure google experience to use programs on the GOOGLE PLAY STORE!!
edit: And now I install ICS+ Browser which was available to install .. and it force closes when started?
Jellybean doesn't support flash players, and right now not every apps is optimized for jelly bean, so incompatibility issue might happen

Download the latest flash player apk manually and install it by moving it to your sdcard -> install apk. After that download a flash compatible browser for example Dolphin Browser from the market. Congrats you should have flash running through Dolphin Browser.

IMO, Chrome is x100 better. You should try it. Check out some of the THD games or CounterStrike Portable if doom isn't working for you. The incompatibilities will get ironed out as time goes on.

While chrome is better, it will not play and flash related content. Hence I use chrome for all non flash browsing and dolphin when i need flash.

Flash causes Chrome to crash with Jelly Bean. It happened on all 3 devices of mine. Im sure its no coincidence. I can live without it though. More and more sites are moving to HTML5. Flash player has seen better days
Sent from the Jelly Bean jar.
I really want ICS+ Browser back. I side loaded flash and Dolphin works fine but its not as good a browser for me. I like Chrome better than both, but it's nice to have an option.
Remember when flash was supposed to be a giant plus for android? Ugh, they didn't call that one.

I just got froyo and a special flash apk that fixes the hulu.com mess. I can't deal with the choppiness that the new android flash has. Does anyone else have this problem? Its not even worth watching videos if the flash player constantly stops to buffer. I tried finding fixes for this but I don't see anyone trying to figure this out. Is this adobe's problem?
I used it to watch adult swim and it didnt stop once and was very crisp. This was over 3g also.

I hardly use hulu, but tried it just to see how the flash works. I'm an avid Twilight Zone fan, and searched and watched some episodes. Running off of wifi (since I have horrid service at my house), the video was highly watchable, when fast action was on the screen it stuttered a little bit, but never stop / froze / became unwatchable. Love it. ♥
Isn't the flash plugin still in beta right now?

I'm using sky raider 1.9, nothing about beta, and I didn't have to download flash from the marketplace like some people had to with the Cyanogen mod.
Was going to say it might just be the built-in flash plugin for sense, but I checked the market place and didn't see it there, but saw "Adobe Flash Player 10.1" in my applications under "All". No beta tag there ;D

I have the same build.
Flash is in beta right now. Beta 4, if memory serves.
When I am watching hulu.com it says a warning at the top before it plays " This video is not optimized for mobile viewing" I have 4 bars of service and it still struggles with a small 2 min video.
EDIT*I did download a week ago an apk that tweaked the flash player so that it would work with hulu.com
Kinda hard to complain running an unsanctioned version of the OS and a beta Flash player.
Give it 6 months, and then you'll have ample opportunity to complain.
In order to watch flash videos at hulu.com do you have to update the flash.apk with the tweaked version?
Where can i get the yweaked ver

I am not sure if it is flash we are having problems with. Maybe its the cache? It seems that the like 20 secs into a flash video it starts to get choppy. Maybe its the cache getting full. I have noticed when I run a different browser the flash player plays differently. I think the skyfire browser was the best so far at playing flash.
Just wondering what the majority of you are using as your default browser. I've always used Dolphin hd but been getting a lot of force closes. Still use it though as I love all the addons.
Opera for me

or Chrome sometimes.
ICS +
Stock browser with added features. Works and integrates quite well.
Disabled stock browser, using Chrome Beta for Android, in fricking heaven!
No Flash support, don't care
Using good old Dolphin for PAD browser, imo still the best.

Originally using stock ICS browser but this week changed to Opera Mobile. So far it looks and behaves pretty good.

No flash not a problem for you? I watch a few online highlights (football) sites.
I can't try it myself, it's unavailable here.
Chrome is good for me only to grab the websites i 've open on my computer, then copy paste the url in the STOCK browser...
I just hope one day get rid about this CPU eater FLASH!
just trying out opera now, I'm quite surprised. Last time I tried it images on sites wouldn't load for me and it kept opening mobile versions of sites. Granted it was at least 6 months ago that I tried it last but it seems to have improved a lot.
I may stick with it for a while until dolphin gets sorted for ics properly.

I use firefox for the sync and the addon. Plus I've been using firefox on my desktop for like 4 or 5 years

Try tint browser , very similar to to ics+ browser but alot faster
I recently in box to my nexus 7 and I was surprisingly disappointed that it did not have flash player. I did some research online and found out that jelly bean does not support flash player. I currently have rooted my nexus and am running supersu. Has anybody experimented with it or got it to work. I tried to run a flash player apk and it did not work in dolphin browser Is there a ROM or something to fix it?
It works fine. Do a search for one of the apks people have posted (there are plenty of threads) and side load it. Make sure to enable Unknown Sources in settings Security first. I am using 11.1.115.11

Ive had the N7 since IO... the truth is flash does not work "fine" but it "works" The main issue are the browsers that are popular are all very buggy. Dolphin is your best bet but the best one at running flash is Boat. HOWEVER Boat force closes on jellybean a TON so yea thats not useful. Dolphin pinch to zoom is broken, you cannot maximize a flash window because it is likely to lock dolphin into a state where it will not load pages.

Today, last Dolphin update. The pinch zoom is back, but flash is gone. Any solution to get both?
I don't care if flash is old, unsafe, unstable or resourc hog. Just need it. If any other browser can handle flash under JB it's OK, but Dolphin is my favorite. There must be a solution. For now, i reversed back to the previous version, with double tap as a compromise solution.
Help to get flash and JB, please. With Dolphin would be even better.

Meanwhile i'll be using the AOSP stock browser .
Let's face it, no matter how much business you can make with your Nexus 7, a tablet is designed mainly for entertainment. A bigger screen usually means that we get to enjoy certain medias on a bigger screen, aka videos. However not every streaming website can afford or even cares enough to have fancy apps like Youtube and if you stream live channels online for emergency sports on your work computer you would know that flash still plays a part in our daily life.
As Adobe quits on Flash on our future Androids to get everyone into the HTML5 stage, PC users will still have a fairly high amount of data for grabs through Flash but our tablets will be losing that whole side of information while the transition goes through. Although I don't, but I could imagine my girlfriend playing an online Flash game on my 7 but it won't happen anymore.
and... we lose one thing to show-off to the iOS users...
How is everyone else coping with the fading of Flash on our mobile devices?
you can still side load flash and use it with other browsers it works well

Works perfectly now!
Yeah I was bummed out when I first read that on Adobes web site. Yeah eventually most sites will hopefully change or add support for our tablets and phones to compensate foir Adobe doing that however being that we have the lovely OS that we do there are very easy workarounds! I installed the AOSP browser @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780746 and flash @ https://www.dropbox.com/s/cgsd3gyy7v6c90j/com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk This is great too because I prefer the AOSP browser (I love the full screen mode with quick controls). The bookmarks don't sync though.. So I just kept the Chrome Bookmarks widget on my homescreen and set the default browser as Browser. Works like a charm!
I despise flash so I don't miss it on my device, at least not for anything important. Bring on HTML5!
yea everyone despises flash. high CPU usage low performance. but it has been playing such a big part in the past 10 years or so that it might just be TOO sudden a change when not everyone has gone to HTML5 and officially taken out flash as a whole. This might hurt Android as it is a crucial time Post-Jobs for android to have a major counter attack on iOS and an obvious visible advantage has been taken out.
I sideloaded flash & firefox for iplayer but other than that I haven't missed, the sooner flash dies the better.

I'm hoping someone can help me with this dilemma:
JB, and most of the mobile world, it seems, no longer support Flash and are moving toward HTML5. Yet, ESPN continues to treat Android tablets as Flash-capable and don't play videos on my TF300T.... unless I switch the user agent on the stock browser to ipad (gasp!),at which point HTML5 videos are displayed and play fine (though browser FC occur after full screen viewing).
However, and I don't know enough about building ROMs to fully comprehend, the stock browser on stock-based ROMs don't include the option for selecting a different user agent, whereas CM10 and Baked 6 do.
I've read great posts about the performance of some ROMs, but I've always switched back once I find that I can't play videos on ESPN's web site. Can someone fill me in on how I could get *all* sites that support HTML5 to provide that by default?
Thanks in advance.

I have MX Player installed, but when I visit espn.com (the desktop site) I see " You need to have the Adobe Flash Player to view this content. Please click here to continue." Long pressing the space where the video should be doesn't return anything. This happens in the stock browser and Chrome.

cromi 3.0.4 is clean rom inheritance. its a custom rom based on stock asus rom. works well for me and the fellow that made it seems to be supporting as well as anyone could. anyway it has flash player built in although you can actually just install the apk on any rom if you go to old versions of adobe flash player then scroll down to find the latest for ice cream sandwich (4.0) and download it. but it never worked as well in any other rom as it does in this one, at least for me.

Oh, I see. My issue is that I feel that I shouldn't have to pollute my tablet with outdated, unsupported software to get basic functionality that is otherwise accessible by mimicking an ipad via the browser's user agent. I mean, the functionality is right there in the browser and works much better than flash.
I should also be able to use any third party browser, including those that don't offer flash support (i.e Firefox) without websites thinking "oh, an android device; load up the outdated video player." That's probably a point to make to ESPN, I suspect.

I would say your right. Its my wish that web site makers would get to working on this issue. I like to read marvel comics unlimited and they use flash as well nor have they at this time made an app to read on android so if you don't enable flash then your out of luck on a mobile device. I will most likely buy the surface pro upon its debut so that my web surfing is not limited on moblile. I already own a few dell xt3 tablet PC's and they work well but are large so i have hope for the surface with core i5
