Ok, here's a basic question.
Does it play Flash?
The only thing I use it for is some local channels here in Canada (CTV, Global, etc.) have an online video streams for popular shows and I love them. And it uses Flash. And they don't have any dedicated Apps. (though they do have iPad apps... blah)
Please search in the future, there are multiple topics on flash.
flash works on jelly bean using an alternative browser such as firefox, dolphin, and ICS Browser +. Chrome will not work.
on august 15th flash will be taken down from the market and you'll have to install it via a backed up apk.

i was hoping when i put 'Flash' on the title, it would list all the similar topics as in XDA 2010 theme. alas, it did not. i assumed there's no similar thread in Nexus7 forum. silly me.
and thanks!
Does anyone know of a way to get Adobe Flash on the STOCK browser?
I'm assuming CM10's JB build is the same browser as a stock JB build browser.
Any way to get that installed? It sucks not to be able to have full web content.
It's one of many things that set us apart from i*hone trash.

the n7 "stock" browser is chrome, it does not do flash at all. the aosp android browser does flash very well. that said, adobe flash does not support jelly bean. you can use a few of the browser from the play store to watch flash videos, you can also use a aosp jelly bean build with the aosp android browser or sideload the android browser.

Works great.
Thanks again!
After many hours of reading posts, installing different roms, installing all the flash apk's floating around the forums and trying every available browser, I decided to post here. I have not been able to get flash player to work at all with 4.2 on any custom rom. Every browser I have tried has crashed. I have been at this game for several years, so I have jumped through all the hoops, fixing permissions, fresh installs, etc... My question is, has anybody else had this experience? I am not really looking for testimonials of it working for people right out of the gate, because obviously it is by the lack of postings on this issue. If you fall into the category of struggling with flash on 4.2 and found a combination that finally works, please pass that info on. Thanks and have a great day.
Flash on 4.2
I don't know about on a custom ROM, but this browser plays flash on stock 4.2 with a custom kernel
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/52089051/HoloWeb.apk
Worked out of the box for me.
Hi OP,
I am facing exactly the same problem as you. Mine is a Nexus 7 3g model running on android 4.2 which I got yesterday. I have also try installing every possible flash apk that i can find...tried on alot of browser. Firefox beta, boat browser, dolphin version 8 to 9, holu as recommended by the post above. None can get to work. Its either the browser crash or some can't even display any flash plugin.
Did Google did any modifications to 4.2 that prevent flash from working?? If anybody has solve the problem please share your solution. I am also not a newbie to rooting and custom Roms as my mobile is galaxy s2 and is rooted with custom ROM. Just that I tot nexus 7 can install flash without Going through that. By as the op indicates, even that did not help him.
Thanks for any help in advance!!

Thanks for the reply. I was really not wanting to go the stock route unless necessary. I will tuck the download away and use if need be. Thanks for the response.
Flash is working but only for really small videos.
When it comes to bigger videos or apps it freezes the browser.(Both with Custom and normal kernel)

Thanks for the reply. I only tried it on several websites that had web streams that I visit frequently. Good to know that there may be issues across the board.
not an issue at all with flash, works great. android aosp browser, rasbean jelly ROM, trinity kernel.

I tried that combination, didn't experiment with any other kernel but the one built into the rom. I don't know, hard to imagine it being a hardware issue with my device.

do you use any ad blocking apps? try adfree(play store free), itll stop a lot of those flash ads that give flash a hard time. what browser are you using?

Use the AOSP stock browser mainly, but tried boat, xscope and others that I have had success with on 4.1.2. I will try adfree with a fresh install and see what happens. Thanks.
Same problem here. It's working with some flash but definitely not all. Even the one on adobe website that checking whether flash is installed make browser crashed. ><
Hope to find solution too.
If you have flash can you watch hulu without a plus subscription?

Well, only solution I've found for now.
Use Firefox for android. It's only browser I've found working with almost all flash.
If you'd still prefer other browser as default, just switch off flash/plugin option in that browser to "on demand" (not always).
Then download Flashify from playstore, it helps share link to other browser with ease.
I use AOSP as my default browser, when I browse to a page with flash and I want to see, just share it to Firefox via Flashify.
That's my solution for now, hope this help.
Hi guys,
Seems like there is a mixture of success and failure of getting flash working on Android 4.2.
Care to share what device you are using be it success or failure?
I still can't get mine to work.
Nexus 7 (3G Model)
Stock condition: Andriod 4.2
I even come across a thread where after he did a factory reset the flash got working. I did my factory reset...still no luck.
Well, I'll share my detail.
Nexus 7 wifi model 32GB
Stock JB 4.2 Rooted
Flash player 11.1.115.27 (Try other version - same result)
Flash working on Firefox for android only, no other browsers.
Should I try factory reset then ?
I have it on my 32GB Wi-Fi. 4.2
Used the info from here (I take no credit for this) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336

and this is why I didn't update to 4.2

Hi OP,
Do you mean when you flash back to AOKP 4.1.2 you got the flash working perfectly? The choppy happen on the 4.2 is it?

Sorry, flash was too choppy for me with Firefox on 4.2. I reverted back to 4.1.2 until things get ironed out with possible updates or a solid solution.
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://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28799533
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?
Anyone get flash working on this phone? I was able to do it on my Epic using CM10.1 but can't figure it out here. I tried sideloading flash but the settings page when you open the flash app doesn't seem to load up. Tried Dolphin Boat and native browser. thanks in advance.
Questions go in Q&A

Firefox works with flash for me, after I tried the other two first. I guess they disabled flash when adobe dropped official support.
