Adobe flash + dolphin - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyway to get this working?
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505

I believe the latest Dolphin won't support flash. You'll have to load an older version of Dolphin. Do a search for " dolphin compatible flash" on google and that should get you your answer.

You need to be rooted, then go to root, data, data, mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser, shared preferences and delete mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml.
You must also install adobe flash of course

I deleted the file few times, but everytime I start dolphin its back in data... Ill search for an older version.

Or try the newest- dolphin beta. Then the file is in root/data/data/com.dolphin.browser.free
It will be recreated but it wont be the same file- it will allow flash on demand

I cannot try this atm, otherwise I would, but can you try changing the plugin state to "ON" in the preferences xml file?

Use the Boat Browser instead, is similar in everything to the Dolphin (Dolphin was the one I was used to) but even faster, and with Flash compatibility.

Hy Andi, how you doing?
Thanks for the tip. downloading XXEMD2 now. Soon as possible I will update mod.
I think old versions will not work on new build.

JB roms do not support Flash Officially.

AW: [Q] adobe flash player fall
Flash on JB does not work witch stock browser or chrome but firefox or dolphin works.
Installing flash from play store on JB doesn't work. You will find the apk by google search or using search function if the forum.

why not use chrome browser from Google. It's essentially the same browser. Just curious, what's it say when you try, sorry this application cannot be installed?
Simply.. Chrome don't have flash support, and default browser have it..
In oppo, I try Dolphin, Firefox, Opera but nothing..
Edit me: I see one solution here, and works with old dolphin!

I get an error: 'Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package'
EDIT: Turned out I had a newer version (4.2.1) and we're still running (4.1.1)
However, i have noticed a few quirks now I've got it working.. For instance, try doing anything in the options menu and you'll see that the bottom of the page has graphical bugs.
More of a nuisance is the fact that for some reason when I type a search in the URL bar it directs me to m.baidu.com (chinese search engine) eventhough I've specified google.com as the search engine...
Any idea on how to fix those things? And did you experience them yourself?

It won't matter, 4.2.2 doesn't have the native ability to use flash. There are a couple of threads floating around with people claiming different browsers will work with flash on 4.2.2, but I have only tried "Boat" browser and could not get it to work. I also remember seeing a thread that has a mod in it that that uses a different build prop and modified APK to make flash work with 4.2.2 but I haven't tried it either. You can use the search function to try to find the thread I am talking about and maybe it will help you. Good luck.

Works like gangbusters with dolphin and jetpack installed

I'm telling you guys, I've tried all the browsers with flash- aosp, boat, naked browser, the only one which works consistently and absolutely flawlessly is dolphin with the latest flash from Adobe's website and dolphin jetpack installed and active. I've never encountered flash that wouldn't play properly, and it is always fully functional (unlike the next best browsers like boat and aosp, which for whatever reason seem to have difficulty using flash navigation/seek bars/play/pause, etc, which works great in dolphin). Give it a shot. You might have to do the dolphin trick to enable flash to "always on" (either by restoring a titanium setting for a previous dolphin install or by deleting a particular dolphin settings file in your phone, I forget which, but I can look it up if anyone's curious), but I'm telling you, flash works beautifully on this phone as long as you have the proper tricks/browser.
Now, as far as Google recognizing flash is still essential, I completely agree. Until the web is flushed of all things flash, it is asinine to argue that since flash is not as efficient as it should be, people shouldn't use it in their websites, and we shouldn't be able to watch it. The web is full of flash, and acting like it's not there doesn't solve anything.

How did you get it working on the AT&T S4? I tried and it would not work. Maybe your method differed from mine. If your method works then there shouldn't be a problem with others getting it to work. Thanks.

Nothing special:
1. I enabled Flash Player in Boat Browser Pro (Settings>Page Content Settings>Enable Flash/Plug-ins to Always ON)
2. Installed the latest Adobe Flash Player - use the suggested link/download.
Also, there seems to be a way to enable Flash support in the stock browser; I haven't tried it yet (although I plan on) but you can give it a try and let us know.
I don't know how you're using Flash with Dolphin. In the app itself it says that Dolphin no longer supports Flash on Android 4.1+.
It works with Firefox.

That is exactly what I have done and it acts like the flash player wants to start playing content, but just shows a blank screen and a few seconds later force closes boat browser. The only difference I can tell is that I am using the free version of boat browser but the flash plugin "always on" option is still there? I already know about the other ASOP option, but I think I might try Dolphin browser to see if it will work. So I am glad it is working for you, but I don't think it works for all.
**EDIT**
I didn't try Dolphin browser...too much crap involved. But I did install Firefox with the latest Android Flash APK and it is working for me just fine. If there won't be any ROMs with flash baked in (once the bootloader is unlocked) I will probably go with the ASOP option, but Firefox will do for now.

I keep my Dolphin browser at version 8.5.1, which I believe was the last version to support Flash. I ignore the dolphin update notice in Google play..

There are a variety of ways to get flash working on the latest version of Dolphin. The easiest is to find version 8.5.1 circulating on the web, install it, set the flash to "on demand" or "always on," do a titanium backup, then update to the latest version of dolphin, and then do a titanium restore of just the dolphin app data (not the app itself). This will restore the setting for flash to either "on demand" or "always on," depending on which you had set it to in 8.5.1. Besides this, there are a bunch of other methods including deleting a particular setting file, which will automatically enable flash. They are described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846225
But as I said, flash only works perfectly on Dolphin if you also install the Dolphin Jetpack from the Play store. If you don't, it semi works (similar to the way it "works" with boat... some files play fine, some stall, some crash, and most won't show the seek bar/pause/play during playback). With Jetpack installed and activated, flash plays just like it does on my computer.

Thank You so much. Dolphin 9.4.1 with flash enabled and Jetpack works perfectly. Flash works and live websites work now and no more crashes. I used to get crashes with any browser and any flash player version.

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?

Make sure to have the flash apk installed too.

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.

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

I believe flash player is no longer supported but you can find via Google. Use dolphin browser to view flash player content.
