Root your device, then install the stock JB browser and the flash APK. Do a search for both on xda, you should have no problem finding them. Or you can use an older version of Dolphin browser like 8.5.1 instead of the stock browser, this will not require rooting the device though you will need to set the option for allowing installations from unknown sources in Settings.
Read this thread. It has everything you need to get flash working on the N7.

Download the APK directly from Adobe:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.17/install_flash_player_ics.apk
Then download a browser from the Play Store that supports the flash plugin on Jelly Bean (not Chrome or Dolphin). I use Boat Browser.

There is no flash support for galaxy 3 as of now...and some people say its not supported for the type of processor our phone comes with

if u want to use flash to cross the pesky download waiting counter and other necessities of browsing then use opera mobile it has built in flash
if u want to see videos then use youtube app from stock firmware
there is no SEPARATE flash support for our phones but apps which already have flash integrated in them will work
I just tried to download flash 11, and it says it isn't signed correctly. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks.....
It seems that your previous version is a modified one, try uninstalling old version and installing the new one from market
not necessarily a modified prior version
I also cannot install Flash. 11.0 on my Android 4.0 device. My device is a an Asus tablet that is brand new and does not have any version of Flash installed and yet Flash will not install

If you want to install Flash even though JB does not support it, here it is.
Guys, even if you can still get flash to work on JB, I highly recommend NOT using flash. Flash was abandoned by the android developers because it is a security risk. Without Adobe sending patch fixes for that outdated flash player to combat those exploits, your nook color or any other tablet is easily exploited by hackers for malicious intent. Those with the knowledge and knowhow can hack into your tablet in seconds via the internet.
Your taking a huge risk using that outdated flash player. Most public wi-fi hotspots do not even have proper router firewalls. I would suggest letting flash go and embrace HTML 5. You can opt into HTML 5 on youtube for example.

I personally like/use Dolphin web browser with HTML5 (in beta). Who uses Flash anymore? Amazon Prime? Not YouTube nor Flixster nor Vevo. Only see Flash used in adverts, but I use Dolphin HTML5 so I don't notice.
New one in market today... grab it quick...

So if you use googles' browser chrome for your kindle, you will find that as you upgrade it to jelly bean you loose flash, and thus you loose chrome.
But have no fear, you can side-load flash and still get chrome from the play store.
just sayin :victory:
Thank you captain.

Not. True. At. All. Chrome doesn't even come pre-installed OR in the GApps.

I am using chrome now to type this. I got it from the play store. When I put flash in I used an old install and took the parts I needed from the /data put it on my sdcard and copy them to their respected locales. I believe you can get the same result by just using an apk. But I like doing it the hard way.
What does flash have to do at all with Chrome? They're entirely separate entities... Flash isn't officially supported beyond 4.0, so you have to sideload, but Chrome is definitely going to be in the play store for the foreseeable future
jb + Chrome is a good couple

I am on a 4.1.1 rom that lacks flash player and have had no issue running Chrome. Obviously flash content is not available but everything else is working fine for me.
I know that Flash is no longer officially supported but ran into something that I am not sure how to work around. I have had my note since it came out so I had flash installed long before updates. I side loaded flash long ago and it works with dolphin browser as well as stock ( i know it does not work with chrome).
My issue is a friend of mine just got a new note 10.1 and while he can side load flash none of the browsers will play flash content. The message of "adobe flash 10.1 or higher is required". In dolphin the flash content toggle is disabled. Is there any way to change that?
I thought this would be easier and I have searched the forum and can't seem to find anything that has current instructions.
Any help would be great.

Ever since upgrading to 4.3 I have been unable to watch any flash video on my nexus 7. I've upgraded to the latest version of adobe flash and have tried firefox, its beta, boat, aosp browser, and next browser. It always crashes as soon as any flash content begins to load. Anyone know how to dfix this? I'm incredibly frustrated with this.

this is a known problem and there really isn't a consistent way to fix it. mix and matching browsers and flash versions seems to only have a hit and miss effectiveness. it is a problem between android 4.3 and flash and there hasnt been a real fix for it. the only browser that i've been able to get to work consistantly with flash on 4.3 is UC Browser. there's a lot of things i dont like about it but it gets the job done when i need to use flash.
Firefox BETA also seems to work fine with flash... I had no luck with other browsers...
4.2.2 flashback fixed my 4.3 problems.

I have v4.3 JB. I installed Flash Player 11.1 and it works perfectly with firefox browser. I went to firefox setting and enabled the plugins. I tried to make the latest Dolphin browser works with the flash player but no luck. I don't understand why Google hates so much Flash player that they prevent people to install the plugin (not available in play store and need to check "unknown source" to install the plugin).
