[Q] adobe flash for nexus 7? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I'm competely new to xda and am a bit of a novice when it comes to apps/computers etc.
I was wondering if it is possible to get adobe flash for the nexus 7 and how on earth do i go about it?
I know people have asked this question many times before (but i can't find the exact answer i'm looking for).
Before anyone says it.... I know flash isn't great but I need it to watch tv (the RTE player)
Any help (broken down in very,very simple baby steps :silly: ) would be great!

I spent an hour or two a month ago trying to find out why Netflix doesn't work. What other folks were saying in various non-Glacier threads is that Netflix support depends on a specific type of HD graphics hardware support in the kernel. None of the kernels we have for the Glacier currently provide that support. Hopefully that will change when (if) a 3.0 kernel is successfully ported.
Kernel experts please jump in at anytime...
wrong forum...
Thats NOT what he meant buddy. If you have ever been in this forum, you would note that question threads go in the QUESTION forum. People get pissed if you get messed up so consider this your ONLY warning because others probably won't be so "kind". Next time, ask your question in the right forum and i promise it will be properly answered.
I love this forum. Also, how did the OP think this was developement of any sorts?

AndroidRevolution HD for note 2 1.1 DL

if anybody has a copy of the old AndroidRevolution HD 1.1 for Samsung Galaxy note 2 , i would really appericate it. I've been pulling my hair out trying to get ver 3.0 to work, but with no success. I assumed it would be as easy as 1.1 , but i was wong. One of my mistake was not making a backup after the 1.1 installation. So i'm stuck with an old image that atleast has CWM. So if anybody has this.. Thank you in advance!
thats what my repository is for
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926506
hope it helps bro
This is great,thank you! but the links for the 1.0,1.1, and 2.0 are dead. I really appreciate the effort though. Hoping someone out there has 1.1
then mike must have taken them off...
I have 2.0 and I can Share it via dropbox, but would it help ya?

I can give it a try :fingers-crossed: , but if anything i'll hold on to it for a few unless i can't get 1.1
Why not let us disagnose your problem with 3.0?
AFAIK, 3.0 is much more improved than 1.1.
Here it is, Hope you can get it working. http://db.tt/WBP5iUSZ

Results are in and it WORKS!
With a huge grin on my face: Thank you
as to troubleshooting why 3.0 dosn't work for me, i honestly don't know what to tell you. I spent a lot of time researching it and i'm just dumb founded. If i had a spare note 2 i would try to get to the bottom of it, but alas thats not the case (too scared to brick my phone).

If you go to the main thread, it'll be there. Btw i was able to install 4.0 with no problems at all. Makes me wonder whats so different about 3.0 that makes it fail to install. Anybody have any ideas?

Revolution HD 19.0
Hi all,
First post ! I'm not totally new on this forum, I've been consulting them since my very first Android and Smart phone about 3 years ago when I bought the HTC Desire. I did create account back then in order to communicate with you guys, but I never got the privileges for posting so... I just kept reading.
New account made just now because I wanted to share my experience and maybe post a couple of questions (even tips, who knows) - and it does work now, which is nice ! So... Hello !!
I was an HTC protagonist and hated Samsung for their phones made of Taiwanese plastic and their Apple-like designs and commercial strategies... until my employer introduced a new Android application and provided us with new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 devices. Well - let's just say I was amazed on one hand by the speed and capabilities of my new device and disappointed on the other hand by my beloved HTC One X. It's just that - everything works better ! The only annoying bit was the keyboard, which is far less practical than the one on Sense... but that was easily set right with the installation of AI Keyboard and its Gingerbread theme.
So - my phone had just completed its very first charge after I unpacked it when I decided to root it immediately, install CMW6 recovery and flash it with Revolution HD 19.0 - which worked like a charm !
I'm very happy with this ROM ! My battery lasts clearly longer than that of my colleague's stock devices (about 48h with normal use - including a bit of gaming during number 2's, use of Wifi most of the time and Bluetooth in the car). The response is slightly faster too - for instance that app we use for work works just a little bit faster on mine. Same thing for Youtube, Facebook, Despicable Me (cool game :cyclops: ) and so on...
During the flashing it suggests the installation of some apps - well a few of them weren't installed after flashing although I did select them (I remember Maps was not installed for instance... unfortunately I don't remember what else I had to install manually). That means I'm not entirely sure all the tweaks suggested during the flashing were indeed enabled. I couldn't find any Revolution HD specific section in the settings (like you'd have on a Cyanogen ROM) - and couldn't find any app either to test and play with those tweaks. So can someone tell me if there's a way to find/modify those specific options/tweaks ?
What I also can tell is that one of my colleagues, who received the Note 2 the same day as I did, followed me with the rooting and flashing with his device... He seems to have been less lucky than me - he tells me every once in a while, when waking up the phone, he has no reaction when trying to unlock it (he just uses the screen swipe). He has to put it back to sleep and wake it up again before he can unlock it... Is this something that happens to anyone ?
So there you go - my experience is nearly flawless ! I love this ROM and will continue using it !
By the way : does anyone know how updates work with this ROM ? Do I have to backup my apps and data whenever a new Revolution HD ROM comes out for my phone and restore that backup after upgrade ? Or is there some kind of OTA-like update available ?

And you had to dig up a year old thread just to tell us about it?

Well it was the first thread when searching for Revolution HD on this particular device - for one. And I wasn't allowed replying on the thread from the developer about Revolution HD 19.0.
Had I made a new thread about this, you'd have told me to look up other threads on the same topic before creating a new one...
Anyway, I sincerely apologize if I made your day worse somehow with my irrelevant post in such an old thread... I hope you will forgive me

[Q] Newbie here with a question

Dear All,
I recently sold my wife's Ideapad K1 (Lenovo abandoned it and it was stuck in Honeycomb land forever) and am looking to buy a Nexus 10 for my wife. She mostly used her tablet for watching TV online, checking email and the normal stuff. I know that the Jellybean does not support Adobe Flash, which is what brings me to my question-
If I were to give one of you the name of one site, could you please see if it opens up on your Nexus 10 and whether you can watch the videos from the site on it? Since my wife watches videos from that site, it is important that I know that the site works on the tablet before I buy it.
Second question is - is there an easy way to get flash to work on Nexus 10?
Please let me know. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Chet
There are few answers to that.
1. Although flash doesn't work on jellybean there are few sites that still work. Also, majority of the sites have started using HTML5. So it should be fine.
2. If you're rooted, you can flash adobe flash player to get back flash. But I'm sure you're not gonna do that cuz if you buy the N10 you don't wanna mess with it the day you get it.
3. Get a video player from Play Store called MX player. You're videos should work.
4. What's the website? I'm on jellybean lemme look if it works.

D00mSlayer- thank you!
D00MSLAYER- Thank you for your reply. The website is in my native language (I am from India). It looks like all the videos on the website are basically Youtube based videos that are embedded on the website. This forum will not let me post a link to one of the videos from that site as yet on the forum. Can I PM you with the link?
Thank you so much for offering to do this!

Unless something has changed from 4.1.2 to 4.2 you don't need to root in order to get flash working. Can you not just find the app and sideload it. It should then work with compatible browsers like Boat and Firefox. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
You dont need to root to get flash working. Just side load the apk. Search google or search xda. Im sure there is a few flash apks roaming around. Also be sure to check Unknown device so it will actually allow you to download the apk tovyour device

Yes this is what i did to get flash to work, i searched XDA using google, i then installed the flash apk, then i downloaded Firefox beta, turned on plug ins and its as easy as that.
Thank you

Dear All,
Thank you so much for all the suggestions. It looks like getting Flash based videos to work on the Nexus 10 is not going to be a big deal. I think I am going to go ahead and make the purchase at this point.
Thanks again.

If you don't want to root you can try puffin browser. It loads the flash content on remote servers then send it back to your device. :highfive:

Now I can't get it back or do I want to?. Sending it back is a headache as its not available in Ireland .Any suggestions? its buggy as hell although its only chrome it seems which is the same in my windows 7 work PC ,constantly crashing. They seriously need to get their act together.
Anybody with some info

You create a topic in the Nexus 7 forum and call it "Nexus 7" ?? How much more generic could you have been!?!
Then on top of that you give next to no relevant information.
Do you seriously expect any help just from that?
Hold on.. I have the gift of foresight... gimme a few moments and I'll re create your problem in my subconscious and get back to you.
