Am I the only one with working Flash on updated Dolphin? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been keeping Dolphin continually updated and my Flash still works. Out of curiosity I thought that I'd ask if I'm the only one since I haven't seen anyone else mention it and I've been wondering why I have no problems. Both Dolphin and Flash originally made their way onto my Nexus 7 via Titanium Backups from my old tablet, so I was wondering if this was the key.

If you used a titanium backup from a different tablet then dolphin browser probably doesn't realize that you're on jelly bean.

That was my immediate assumption, but I took a look at a crash report generated by Dolphin and it properly identifies my Android version as 4.1.1.

Just restored the latest version using tibu from a backup of it in the razr and flash seems to be working good along with pinch to zoom. I also removed market association so it can't check updates.

Sweet, so it looks like all you need to do is restore a backup from a non-JB device. It seems like you should be ok installing updates assuming things continue the way they are.

Lucky ,an dolphin HD is my favorite browser by far but I am getting by with ugly fox beta will have to see if I have a old backup from my atrix would be nice

Flash for 2.1

I have downloaded and installed Flash 10.1 on my EPIC 4G using instructions found on the web.
My EPIC's stock browser and the Dolphin HD browser still do not display flash content. Any ideas?

...... that's because Flash doesn't work on 2.1.
Period.
We have Flash Lite but that doesn't really count.
Try the stock browser

Doesn't work, at all. No matter what you read online. Believe me, I have tried.
it does work... so does search... lookie here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792231
Flash through skyfire is not the same as flash on the device. Skyfire converts flash video server side so games will not work, only video.
Flash on 2.1 does not work on the epic. Even if you install it, it uses flash lite.
Nobody has ever shown me proof that it works. If I'm wrong I would love to be proven wrong though.

We will have to wait for froyo for flash. Bo real flash on 2.1 . Skyfire doesn not count they just convert flash video on their servers into playable format. And hulu has them blocked:-(

I can only assume its flash anyways since it works on facebook flash games and albinoblacksheep games.

That's weird. I just played some flash games no problem when I couldn't before. Maybe it will
work if only flash 9 is required but not 10.1
I'll fully admit I was wrong in my initial reply. So flash is working, flash 10.1 is not. This means some things will work fine, some will not.

Have you tried going in to Dolphin Hd and changing user agent from android to desktop as well?
This does make a difference

No clue how this could help. The same content that doesn't work in the browser doesn't work when I point it directly at the swf. I'll give it a shot though.

Well that would be because in android phone mode it compresses everything down so small to make things more legible.
While in desktop mode it's meant to give you a full and rich desktop like experience. It's supposed to include flash content in this mode.

Interesting, so it seems this is not related to the 2.12 update that came with FR83D, and somehow they are remotely activating it. I have 1.82 and have not seen the new tab yet.
Is it on all the apps in the market or just some?
All the apps

Mine's 1.82 as well but I'm not seeing any related tab. Will try installing Flash.
Edit : Confirmed, Flash reveals it.
might be related to a restart then I'll try that
Update flash

Weird, I updated flash earlier on and haven't seen it yet, maybe its just installing any app?
Well just installed epicurious and still no extra tab, will try reinstalling flash.
Was themes under apps menu there before ?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
My market still doesn't have the similar tab and I see themes so yeah it probably was.
It might be slowly pushed out instead of being tied to the flash update. Or it might be both .
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I had neither Flash nor the similar tab... installed Flash, then I had both. Weird.
Installed Flash, cleared Market cache, rebooted and still nothing. So it must be a slow rollout.

Install Android Browser?

Has anyone been successful in installing the browser.apk from an ICS build onto the Nexus 7? I tried dropping the browser.apk from CM9 into /system/app and fixing permissions, but it just force closes immediately.
I need the old browser, Chrome doesn't cut it for me since bookmarklets don't work.

I suggest you adapt.
according to the google nexus 7 manual that you can download on google books, it says you can download the old browser via google play. i havent tried it yet since my nexus 7 wont arrive till next week, but maybe have a look in google play?
theres also ICS browser+ in google play, which is more or less the stock ICS browser but with more features.
..
If I'm not mistaken, once a build for the N7 is built from A.O.S.P the browser will not be chrome..
Chrome isn't open sourced yet.

I've been looking for this too, mainly because I want a full screen browser and I don't think chrome can do that. I've looked in all the settings and found nothing
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I'd also love to know the answer to this. Have side-loaded flash 11.1 which sort of works with Dolphin but would prefer the 'native' ICS browser as I think the compatability would be better - at least until a Jellybean version of iPlayer comes out.
Skyfire will play Flash videos on the Nexus 7 without installing Flash but they're recompressed first on their servers.
I too would like the option of using the stock Android browser with my N7. If the Galaxy Nexus can run it under Jelly Bean 4.1.1 why can't the N7? At least give us the option of sideloading it.
When startin the N7 it said something about if you want flash in Chrome, dl the Chrome in Play Store. Have not tried this.
I don't Understand why they shipped it with chrome to begin with. The aosp jellybean browser is much smoother and faster then chrome. I tried one ROM that included it and it worked so much better. Unfortunately some other things didn't work right in that ROM.
Found that with flash 11.1.115.11 fullscreen video works on iPlayer using the latest Aurora build of Firefox (you can download the APK in Chrome from the Mozilla website). As it's a nightly build a few things are still clearly pre-release (e.g. thumbnail tab previews are corrupt) but the browser itself is impressive. Worth a try and less risk of breaking something if the standard browser isn't easy to install.

Hulu Plus is Working

Today's update must have added support. It didn't work previously on my N8000 so I'm guessing it didn't work on any Note. Apologies if this isn't news.
any news is better than no news...
but glad to hear its supported...thinking about getting hulu plus but the ads sucks

Believe the only way is through the browser by a hack flash player until Hulu update it for compatibility on our device.

Curious, I tried both of these, but they won't install. I get the screen to install, but nothing happens when I hit the "Install" button. The "Cancel" button works fine. BTW, I do have the "Unknown Sources" checked... I am not rooted, but that shouldn't matter? I'm wondering why I can't install an APK???

That is pretty odd, but not being rooted, you shouldn't have any issues with the unmodded hulu app in the first place. It is still weird that it doesn't want to install though, have you tried restarting your device?

The stock Hulu app plays ads just fine, but it won't play the actual video. I've tried everything I could think of, including re-starting numerous times.
Stock version was updated tonight and now works. I too was just able to view the ads only, but now everything works! Yay!!

4.2 Update. Yes or No

I just received the notification on my Nexus 7 regarding the system update, however I am at a crossroads if I should do it or not as i am currently setup with Tablet UI (DPI 160), all my apps and icons are nice and tightly displayed using Apex launcher and with all the posts stating that you cannot revert the DPI back down once you upgrade i am not sure what to do. Any advise as to why I should upgrade would be helpful.
Thanks,
JBIRD
i would wait as yoou wont really be able to mount any external storage until this stickmount or the nexus 7 mount app gets updated to work in 4.2
I am going to wait untill all the apps I use get updated where I know they will work.No use in haveing a new update if nothing works that I want to use on it.
It took hbo over a month to get working on jelly bean and some apps still don't work.I will wait and see before screwing them up because some things might take a while.:laugh:
I say wait because:
- we didn't get miracast
- new issues with bluetooth, specifically bluetooth audio with wifi enabled/active. Bluetooth audio already had issues in android, now it's worse.
- multi user is no good. Other users can't access your apps, unless they already own them. Haven't tried this yet, but from what I read.
- camera app lost funny faces. Big mouth, small eyes etc. Yes it's gimicky but I've had friends' kids laugh their asses off while using this. Why remove it?
- I'm getting lag (sometimes) again, similar to the pre 4.1.2 issues. Not all users are getting this but I am.
I was initially excited about 4.2 but disappointed now, considering rolling back.
Also no tablet UI. Its completely ripped out. Back to phablet mode. I'm enjoying it though.
Also Apex crashes immediately. So I'm using the stock launcher and everything.

Apex running fine for me. Dirty flash from CleanRom. I just had to reset it as the default. I seem to recall someone had problems when they restored their launcher settings and that wiping data for Apex fixed the issue.

no, definitely NO! USB not working, development access required to stop Android sending every installed app back to Google, several more other apps not working (such as MX player...). No, no way, I will be switching from stock to something other with 4.1.2, because it is unusable this way...
Thanks everyone, appreciate the input. After this i am definitely going to wait

Hey tkelly,
You must be one of the lucky ones. I have been reading that the usb directories have changed due to the new instituted multi user option. Are you able to see the contents of your folder on various accounts you setup?

I just reverted back to 4.1.2 because of the issues in 4.2. I'll wait until things seem to be a bit better before I upgrade again.

Well I don't have multi user ATM. But all I did was I rooted with wugfresh toolkit(sorry if I spelt it wrong). And the I just plug it in and it said USB mounted or what it normally says. Yeah I can veiw my files on it. I will try with muli user on and will report later
Edit
Stick mount doesn't support multi user son only the primary user can use stick mount. And the the second user I had set up did not read USB storage. So its still working but only for primary user
