So can others shed some light on what the compatability is of Flash on JellyBean and the N10. I know the background on it all already and that you have to sideload it. I installed the 11.1 APK and its showing as installed. Chrome I think doesnt do flash right? What about Boat Browser? Because I can't get flash sites to show up in that either.
What am I missing, or is there a guide or something I may be doing wrong either browser wise or other?
It definitely works in Boat. Just go into settings, then page content settings, and change the "Enable flash/plug-ins" toggle to "always on". That did the trick for me, anyway...
It works on boat, but I haven't been able to get it to work on dolphin yet. Anyone have any luck?

I've got it working in Dolphin, just sideloaded flash using this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763805).
It just seemed to work when I closed and opened Dolphin up the next time.
note you may have to restart the app/nexus to get it work if you installed flash after the browser is open. flash works in boat/dolphin/firefox here
I had no problem getting flash to work in Boat Browser. I couldn't get it to work in Dolphin. I had to get an older version of Dolphin from this thread for it to work. That was just for testing. I much prefer Boat over Dolphin (or any other browser).

I don't know if you would consider it live, but I watch a lot of streaming movies on Amazon with no problem.

I just watched an hour-long programme on BBC iPlayer in HD stream on Boat, and it was smooth as silk, and sharp as cut-glass.

Not possible. Opera does not support flash (yet).
there's been a fix for flash for opera for ages now:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544770
That's only for Flash 8 (Actionscript 2) - the plugin lies about being Flash 9 in the hope websites will still bother to load, but it can't display the content.
The "desktop version" of Flash Player 10.1 will be released for mobiles in a couple of months (as an OEM bundle, not a user-install). Palm and Android users will get it as an OTA update, but as of yet no sign of anything for WinMo.

Skyfire uses server side rendering instead of rendering everything on the phone. So the flash is actually rendered in their servers and then sent to you and not actually rendered on your phone. This is like the turbo feature of the new Opera, however that doesn't render flash for now. Also, I'm pretty sure the new IE renders flash on the phone..... that's been working since the HD2 came out in like Oct/Nov.
Has anyone tried to use flash on a website yet?
i have and it works but runs slowly
u should try making post like this just one full post....
what were u veiwing and how fast is your internet connection?
I know when i access any site its smooth and crisp including youtube and vimeo i'm on a 30/30 Fiber connection really fast but this is only site which lags for me
i think part of the issue is software related....some times the browser is really smooth and sometime its begins to act up...I think we will see improvements when we get our first update....at least I hope so.

Have you installed the latest version of flash (10.2) from the market?
I installed Flash 10.2 and can comfortably watch the desktop version of NHL Gamecenter Live
Flash has been choppy for me on some anime sites.
no issues here......getting the market version is a must.....the included version was hit or miss
Hi guys,
I'm still having issues about flash player and my Milestone 2 with CM10 from tezet and as all you know it doesn't come with flash player with it.
I've tried many .APK found in this forum (M2), xda and out there, some of the files tested with:
Adobe_Flash_Player_11.1.111.10_4.0+.apk
com.adobe.flashplayer-2.apk
install_flash_player_ics.apk
I use stock browser, pages with flash content load partially and... stop responding, so browser asks to close it or wait.
I'm using default clock settings, no mods in this room, no scripts... noting at all.
And I thought that a threat, ONLY about this "issue" could be really helpful, especially if there is a solution. But if a moderator thinks this post is just "another one" or flood, no problem, but I really couldn't get it to work.

Have you tried with Dolphin or Firefox? I have no problems with flash with these two browsers or three stock browser. If it is allowed, I could send you a backup of flash player I'm using.

Thanks cruizgaray, Firefox stops responding and dolphin performance is like a slide presentation.
If u could send your working version, would be great, I'd appreciate it a lot, and many users I guess...

tnx L3ibnitZ, but it didn't work...
and also thank you cruizgaray, but it also didn't worked...
Firefox crashes, default browser too... dolphin show portraits of videos on youtube, but when u hit it to play, all of them says that video is not for my device.
Any device? Manually delete some files an try installing again?
Since ICS Adobe does not support Flash for android. All apps load videos in HTML5. I use CM10 and watch videos from Youtube and IMDB. If you're using DoidWall, check Media Server app to be able to see videos. Post results. Good luck!
tnx bro

thanks man, I got videos working from you tube app but I really miss the flash games/content directly from browser, like in a PC. But thanks Da_Hora.

Hi I recently got a nexus 7 and I followed the instructions I have seen here on how to install flash on my nexus 7. It works but my problem is when I watch streaming flash video on say sockshare or putlocker for example the video does not continue to buffer when I pause, so flash video is unwatchable at the moment because when playing the video stops to buffer every 5 seconds. I'm using Firefox beta as my browser. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to fix it
Which tutorial did you follow to get this working? I tried a tutorial from YouTube but it didn't work.
Can you explain real quick the steps you took to install flash and your ROM please?

btw, adobe and flash dont support jelly bean or the newest devices. flash isnt made for it. so whatever bugs exist in flash running jelly bean, wont be fixed by adobe. that said, ive found that flash runs best on the aosp android browser, not quite perfect, but not bad.

Does the hulu site in desktop mode allow you to view their videos with the AOSP browser? As I understand that's a root only browser, correct? If so, I wasn't interested in rooting before but this might make me start working on it. I dislike that I pay for Hulu+ but can't view the same content as on my PC when I'm on my PS3, and now my tablet.

just tried it and it didn't work. you can get the actual hulu page rather than the hulu+ advertisement but videos won't play.
I sideloaded the latest flash apk and it works for me in the Firefox beta. I haven't tried any other browsers yet. I think firefox beta has it set by default to click for flash to play instead of letting it play automatically.
I'm using CM10.1 Nightlies as my Rom.
Here is a link to the latest from the adobe site.
Flash Player 11.1.for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.34)

FYI, here's my setup:
Rrunning 4.1.2 stock factory Rom at the moment, unlocked & rooted - turned off/disabled/hide Chrome Browser. D/L & install "Boat Browser" from Market (support Flash) used by some of the custom Rom & d/l Flash 11.1.115.17 from links here on XDA (or from Adobe's website). Boot into Recovery, wipe cache & reboot OS.
Launch Boat Browser, go into Settings (3 dots bar on bottom right) and go to "Page Content Settings" - scroll down if necessary, change "Enable Flash/Plug-ins" to Always on (or "On demand") - Enable JavaScript should be On by default. Changed "Set as default browser" to On as necessary. Exit & restart Browser - you should not have to reboot N7 again and check your ability to open/view most Flash-based videos, mine is working as it should be - no longer shuttting off or getting the error msg/device not supported, yada yada.
As for playback of most stored or d/l videos on the N7 - I liked & used "Mobo" player - free from the Market.
Profit - now, there's a lot more to watch streaming on the N7 besides Youtube & CNN video clips. Questions or more issues, please post & will try to help - not new to Android but still on a learning curve with the N7. Good luck as it should work even for those running near stock setup.
OK what I don't understand is with my desktop if I'm watching a streaming video and it is taking a while to load I will pause it and go do something else while it loads and come back when enough of it is loaded to watch uninterrupted. With my nexus 7 that I just got when I pause the videos don't continue to load. therefore when I try to watch a streaming movie it stops to continue to load every couple of seconds and it makes watching a streaming movie unwatchable. Does anyone else have this problem or a solution to it
In dolphin if I full screen/expand an embedded video the nav bar pops in and out in landscape, I gave firefox a shot but that won't even play embedded video (audio plays but no video) unless it is youtube.
So which broswer should I go with, or if you guys have a fix for the above issues, I'd prefer something with a lastpass addon but I can do without.
AOSP browser is still my favorite after using a couple alternatives
Chrome or stock are the best ones imho
AOSP is just soooo slow, chrome is still working fine but no plugins means I have to use lastpass to launch websites.
I was hoping there was something better but it seems like I'm SOL.
When I used Dolphin browser, I found it to be close to the stock browser, just more feature rich. I tried using Chrome, Firefox, and Skyfire, but found the stock browser to be more of a favorite. I did try a lil browser that was really good with functionality with no bells and whistles at all, Naked Browser. I liked it and it is Flash enabled. Still, I keep coming back to the stock browser.

I've found AOSP to be far slower than dolphin (jetpack didn't make much difference for me though) and just slower than chrome.

Not sure what you mean about the nav bar popping in and out as I've had no issues with dolphin, When you view embedded videos make sure to have jetpack turned off (if you have it installed)
Opera Beta
It's based on webkit and extremely smooth.

When I view embedded video fullscreen in landscape the navbar pops up then, goes away, then pops up, ad nauseum. This has been happening ever since I first installed dolphin (5+mos ago) and way before jetpack was ever installed.
They seem to have fixed it for youtube but try this http://t.co/5h7Hx3UPCP it's a bill maher whosay link, if you view it full screen landscape in dolphin you'll see what I'm talking about.
So a little testing:
AOSP - Runs fine but it doesn't expand to fill the screen once the navbar hides
Opera - Won't expand the video
Chrome - Runs fine but it doesn't expand to fill the screen once the navbar hides
Firefox - Audio plays but no video

Not sure why it would behave differently from phone to phone unless maybe it is a CM/Dolphin issue, although I was running AOKP for a while and it had the same issue, not going to put a new ROM on my phone to check though

Just use AOSP browser and install ICS flash player apk so you can watch all your naughty flash videos with low hassle :thumbup:
