WARNING- New update forces Local Agent to mobile Bug

The new update (pushed to me in the UK 9/10/11 has forced the stock browser and Dolphin browsers to Mobile. Changing to any other setting in the browser setting has no effect. I has similar problems with various ROM updates on the Galaxy S last year with the same bug. Does anyone know of a fix? If not can I downgrade back to the previous ROM without rooting?
thanks

I see this issue also in the UK

There's a fix by Roach for Prime rom but it may be incompatible with stock.

Just Tried Opera, it went to the desktop version of bbc.co.uk a couple of times, but now it just goes to the mobile site... so not sure what the hell is happening! User Agent still set to desktop
Also , I couldn't get opera to play any flash content either. I have flash enabled in its advanced options, and I have tried "Enabled" and "Click to Play". It doesn't matter which I try , a big play symbol appears where the flash should be, but when you click it dissapears and nothing happens.
Any Ideas?

Yes, Prime is based on latest OTA (and always is) and personally I don't see a reason to stay with stock.
The fix we're talking about is included in cumulative 2.0.3 patch, found in the Prime thread.
Do not try to install the fix on rom any other than Prime (including stock) because it contains rom-specific framework files. Instead, follow the instructions to install Prime 2.0.1 and update to 2.0.3 and you'll get a smooth, stable, solid rom in addition to just fixing user agent stuff.

1)So are there no problems at all with this ROM? Did I hear there are some problems with some apps with de-oxed ROMS?
2) Can I do with any version of transformer? Does it have to be Non 3g or 3g, what revision..... I keep reading about other revisions of TF101.
3) Do I need root....or will I get Root?
TIA

The BBC web site is notorious for using the mobile version of their site.
What I did was scroll to the bottom, select preferences and when the next window opened I looked down for where it says "Desktop Version ~ Same version of the site you will find on your PC". I clicked on "Get this" and it then opened the BBC site in Desktop version.

1. I don't find any problems using what's in my sig. Fast, stable, battery efficient. Everything is running as expected and I use quite a lot - 112 apps installed.
2. I believe you can do it with any version of transformer, excluding those with late B70 or any B80+ part number, see a bunch of threads about this.
3. Depends; you can root first and then flash custom rom using CWM, or you can straight use NVFlash version and you'll get root right away. (Assuming your transformer is rootable, see #2).

Can I get Flash working?

Hi all,
As per the thread title, is there any known way to get flash working with any browser on the Nexus 7?

You can install a separate APK from online, as in the Play Store flash is listed as incompatible. It should work fairly well with most browsers, however Chrome does not support Flash at all.

So how is web browsing on the 7? Any lag in browsing or typing ...loading pages..etc?

Browsing with Chrome is super smooth. There was some noticeable lag at first, but after the OTA update, everything ran a lot smoother, and haven't noticed any lag since. Typing is just as smooth too. For some graphic-intensive pages, the whole site doesn't show-up while you're scrolling until you stop scrolling, but it's a very minor issue.

Browsing is really nice in Chrome. Better than Dolphin HD in fact. I'd like to know how to get flash to install though to use with Dolphin HD. I have Flash 11 .apk but it will not install and noting else is showing up in GP. Anyone?

I'm having the same problem. I heard that is has to do with the OTA update messing with the ability to install Flash. Other APK's installed fine, so I can't think of why else.

i installed flash player from an APK & it works for me.
you can download the apk from here

if its not working then use TiBU to restore it.

Well, right now I'm not rooted, and it's just popping up an alert saying "Can't open file", which is what the other APK I downloaded said. Have you done the OTA update?

It's pretty much dead for every system but windows anyway. Linux flash support has always been crap and they gave up on that too.
I thought it was bad when they didn't support PPC Linux. For being an internet standard they surely are limited.

I had it in my application list from the previous install on other devices, so I just download Flash today and still worked. But those who really don't have just try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modaco.flashdownloader. This should let you download Flash 11.

Adobe Flash on Note3 !!!

Grrrrrrr! Videos on stock browser are not working. That is very bad!!! I was reading about it previously but I hoped that it is not so serious. I do not want to use other browser. I like Chrome Beta but I use it only few times because of no flash support. I want flash in stock browser! Any idea?

Uh.. Flash hasn't worked on stock browsers for a while now. Try next Browser.
Make sure to have the flash apk installed too.

download flash player.

install Firefox browser, done.

install flash

I use Boat browser and you can click the downward-facing arrow when Flash is needed. You can sideload the Adobe Flash for Android 4.0 APK, which is currently at Flash Player 11.1 for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.81), at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

You can use Dolphin or Firefox browser as well.Dolphin lets you sync your bookmarks with chrome desktop browser.

I am not stupid I have already installed flash. This is the reason of my topic. And as I wrote I do not like other browser.

This is one thing I miss with my HTC One and LG G2.
Full flash support with their Stock Browser, on the G2 I just had to install the latest flash apk and it works perfect. The HTC One worked with flash out of the box fully supported. I don't understand why Samsung chose to ditch it altogether, at least give us the option right?
I know we can use Dolphin or Boat, but in my experience they never offered a smooth flash experience like the stock browsers.

IMHO Firefox has the best flash experience. Honestly that's the only reason I keep it installed. For regular web surfing I use dolphin tho.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium

Flash support was deprecated on android versions later to 4.0; so no stock browser will bring you flash no matter if you installed the flash apk for ics.
Now only updated browsers that support flash are Firefox and Next browser; Dolphin browser also deprecated flash support on newer versions.

I tried to install Flash player on note 3 and used next browser, dolphin and boat browser but every time I watch a flash video all browsers crash

Flash already works on kitkat. but only running on Dolphin JetPack. so I tried to enable on Firefox for android.

Rgrds,
Ged.

I have N7(2012) KitKat and Adobe Flash Player 11.1.115.81

Thank you so much

How did you do it?

best option so far, unless anyone found anything better?
Edit: works fine with firefox 27. Video controls are a bit iffy, you need to hold down the video and select full screen to enter fullscreen mode, and hit the back button on your nav menu to exit it, could be improved, but whatever - flash in firefox
In related news, are there any plugins to allow you to set a proper homepage instead of the awful start screen in the browser? I can't find any on the official site.

Hi :good:
Thanks for the mod.
Do you think it is possible to do the same for Boat Browser ?

hmm..
Thanks for your opinions!
swf files are played on firefox's Gecko engine. so that makes play swf in kitkat. and I think dolphine jetpack maybe use same engine so also can play.
and I modified other hacked flash player apk in hex editer.

I'm confused, flash worked just fine for me in Dolphin. Always has except the short period it was removed by devs.
All I did was install Dolphin from from play store, sideload a random flash.apk, set UA to desktop and ensure flash was enabled.
Amazon instant video works along with all the other sites with short clips [emoji15]
