Adobe Flash on Nexus: End of the road? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know that the Nexus 7 can be made to work with Flash because they made a version that works with Tegra 3.
Are there any versions of Flash compatible with the S4 Pro? If not does that mean there's no hope of getting Flash to work on the latest Nexus?
It's not that I love Flash or anything, but sometimes you just reach that stupid web site that you can't do anything with otherwise...

I'm sure someone will port it. Flash is very useful for..err... some things!

Flash has always sucked, and thankfully is now dead. Please let it die.

For now its useful for pr0n, so it will survive.

Sadly it's more mundane sites like restaurants that are dumb enough to put up their menus in Flash only. Or music videos that are marked "not available on mobile", necessitating that I spoof a desktop and use Flash.
Also for Kongregate Arcade.

should work in all - obviously excluding chrome as it doesn't support it. dolphin is the best alternative. Or you could install stock browser from 4.1 if you wanted.

Here's a nice thread that keeps everyone up to date on the latest JB-compatible flash player

Chrome For Android Beta

So basically its the stock 4.0 browser with the chrome skin and no flash and as of yet no chrome plugin support. But try it out anyway.
Its never gonna support flash, just like android post-4.0

Awesome. Thanks for the heads-up! finally something that can compete with dolphin for pad...
I thought it was ICS only?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485495
I've been using it since yesterday on the CM9 KANG in my P7500. Have to say I'm VERY impressed. Seems faster and more "desktop-ish" than the stock browser. It surely deserves a try!
working fine for me but.....
After fooling around I can't find any way to set the user agent to desktop. Is there a way, a tweak for that yet? That's quite annoying
Its ICS Only!
Well, if anyone here is not using any of the Kang CM9 ports on their GT10.1, then you don't know what you're missing. No reason for anyone to be stuck on 3.2.
No flash, no YouTube desktop site, no good.

If the second reason is wat u use it for OK if not U definitely can live without the camera

Lol, exactly. I figured someone would mentioned the camera but I expected it would be a joke. I don't think I have EVER used the camera on this thing.
Oh well, enjoy 3.2 and no Chrome then.

Actually I use it a lot for video calls. Every time I travel it is a great way to share views from my location.
Also with Google goggles I scan foreign signs and get it translated on the fly
Oh and yes I take pictures with it
But I do like ICS, got it on my nexus s and have test driven the Kang. Just that one little thing more to make it my daily driver

The absence of Flash is my only disappointment, but I'm fairly sure that it will be fixed in further versions. For most of my activities I already replaced the stock browser for Chrome.

Gameboy (and NES/SNES) roms?

So I'm loving the Nexus 7 (I even side loaded my first three apps today) I have some apps that require things to be loaded onto them.
..but I'm not sure how to get the downloaded times, once I find them onto the nexus 7. Could I just save them to drop box then add them to the nexus 7? email them to myself?
Any advice?

Sorry man, but it's against XDA rules to talk about rom downloading etc. It's illegal. You won't get the answer you seek the way you posted your question.
Also; All my music has been purchased via Itunes, Amazon, and Google. I prefer Amazon.

Downloading Roms is NOT illegal if you own the game in the first place. I myself personally own every game system from the Atari 2600 all the way through to the 360. I own literally thousands of games for consoles and PC.
Don't make assumptions.

Wrong, it's actually illegal to download a rom if you own the game, It's not illegal for you to make a back up of your game though.
This may sound obvious but have you tried using your USB cable? The cable that comes with the N7 works as a data cable as well you know, not just for charging.

Flash on nexus 7...really annoying i when I can't view websites

So is there a way I can have flash on the nexus 7?
Is dissapointing that can't watch some web pages..I bought this not to turn on my PC and I still need to go to my pc, so what's the point of this piece of crap?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
There are several guides on how to this on here.
Load an alternate browser like Firefox or the AOSP browser (look in themes and apps section) and side load the Flash apk ..which has been posted multiple times shouldn't be hard at all to find it.

Did you not read anything about the device before or after you bought it. Everyone knew flash wasn't available for jellybean before. And there are workarounds found after.

But before you return it, check it for screen lift, dead pixels, etc. and then if it's in perfect shape, go ahead and post where you are returning it to, so people who are hunting for their own N7 can actually get one
Dont get me wrong, I love my nexus, no way I am giving it back !!!
Is just that when my wife is using it, she comes across some flash sites, and she says " this doesn't work, I don't know why you expend $200 on this"

So how is it?

I know these types of threads are kind of a no no. But I just want some rooted users experiences. I have watched way to many reviews and am always left wanting more. So how is the nexus 7? Was it everything you expected? Any defects I should look at when I first get it? Thanks.

To be honest, just a toy. Something I can use around the house or whenever I go anywhere and don't want to carry my laptop. Also for magazines books and so on and so forth. I don't think it's bad for around ~260 need the 16gb since I have 4+ gbs alone in music. Also would be nice to use rather than my nexus for gaming and video etc.

better than expected, much. gaming is an awesome experience on it, web browsing is very natural(but not chrome, the android browser), batter life blows everything away, and then theres its performance..
It's great. I don't personally own one but someone in my family does and it's a nice little tablet. Only problem he had was he couldn't watch flash videos online but I solved that by installing a Flash .apk file and installing Firefox as the browser. Gaming is epic due to it's quad core.
flash plays fine on the android browser too, included with aosp, not with stock(chrome).
Well should have the means to purchase it next month. Hopefully nothing comes up. Can't wait to see what it's all about. How about some of the ROM's and kernels? Not asking your combos just how are they.

So what about the goodies from Google. How long does that last? Should be able to purchase the beginning of next month.

Not sure how long it will last, there is no way to tell. Just get it when you can as soon as you can. If you get them, awesome. If not, you got it as early as you could, so you couldn't have gotten it anyways.

I honestly couldn't be happier. It is the fastest and smoothest tablet I have ever used, even moreso than the ipad. Finally Android has matured to that level... or the hardware has gotten to where it needs to be
I'll tell ya, the best thing about this tablet is the size. I used to be very down on the 7 inch form factor, but there is something special about it that makes me want to use this thing WAY more than my transformer.
Love this tablet.. can't believe it was only 250$

Lol I laughed at this. When I saw this thread I was like, "noooo this can't be him." Well it was. Lol
Anyways, I wanna know(not trying to steal your thunder ÜBER™, just don't want to start a similar thread here) how strong development is already here. I know it'll get stronger. But what do we have as of now??? Because I want to buy a 16GB N7 too and root it out of the box, but I want to be able to pick from a variety.
I'm also worried about that I'm going to get bored of this device since I have a GNexus. I'm on the same boat as ÜBER™ as turning it into a toy. I also wants this for it's leathery feel(IMO), THE PRICE!!!!! and back pocket friendly design.
