Adobe Flash player - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So as you guys know adobe discontinued adobe Flash player after ics... I used the same adobe Flash apk I used on my htc one S but when I try to install the apk on my gs4 it says application not installed
You don't need root do you? My htc one S is rooted can't remember if you need root for it to work

Google flash player archives, download latest for Android 4, tick unknown sources and install. Problem solved.

Doesn't make a difference on stock browser though as it doesn't support flash even with flash player installed

The stock browser supports flash.

I already have a working adobe Flash player apk because I use the same one on my one S... It doesn't work on the gs4 though it fails to install. And as mentioned in first post I've turned on unknown sources.
I use boat browser for flash

The point is ,do not use flash version of one used on your old phone. Just download LATEST version and install it.

[Q] Samsung Market .apk for Tab 7 P3110

Hi
Have done a search, but couldn't find anything that worked for me.
I've flashed my Tab 2 7 with the latest CM nightlie, but obviously lost access to the Samsung market as a result.
Is there any way to obtain the .apk for my version (P3110) that will work?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

download it(not from the market) and install it. make sure that unknown sources is enabled(main device settings, security). or there are a few flash installer apps in the play store. flash wont work in the default chrome browser(chrome isnt flash capable), but it will work in the aosp android browser.

Thanks can I just flash any version?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
no, since previous versions might have some capabilities issues with jellybean, its probably safer just to flash the latest.
Theres a thread floating around that has the adobe flash link on the 1st pg.
PM me your email and I'll send it to u.
As stupid as thus may sound where do I download this from?

On stock how do I get flash player to work

Hey I'm on stock how can I get flash to work...thanks
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
Go to settings> security, and check "Unknown Sources"
Find the Flash Player.apk and download it to your N10 (do a search on here)
Install the apk
Install/ use a flash compatible browser like Firefox and it works
Google search for latest flash player apk. Download and install. I use it with Boat Browser.

I don't have anything without being there. I used this by DL the entire root zip chain fire has prepared. I extracted the "guts" and then used PC Odin to Odin in root/supersu...then after reboot I DL ROM manager and used it to one click in CWM.
You could also Google QBKing77 and tag root s4 behind it and his video is on there its perfect

All are pretty sweet....the TW are all real nice and the AOSP side seems to be transitioning to 4.4 from 4.3 so they are "growing"
Depends on what you're preference is.
They kind of frown on "What ROM do you prefer?" threads

Do you use an adblocker of some form? If so try disabling it or revert it's changes. I use adfree, which modifies the host file, but I get a different error (host cannot be found). When I revert the changes it works fine. I was using tapatalk pro, but I've switched ot xda premium...now it works fine..
I uninstalled adblock plus and get this error now instead:

Did you reboot your phone? It may still be affecting it until you reboot. Some blockers require reboot after.

what about a different browser? or clearing the data from app manager and trying again? I get that exact issue with adfree from bigtincan, as soon as I revert the hosts file it works. I got rid of tapatalk and will never use it again as I only use it for xda now. my company community used to use it but since we switched to lithium community tapatalk doesn't work with it. xda premium uses a different redirector which isn't affected by this issue...
Yeah its a strange one. I've tried stock browser, chrome and dolphin but still can't open links on XDA using the official app. Tried uninstalling adblock and rebooting too.

it's weird how the xda free and xda premium apps have different redirectors. maybe because of this reason. at this point I would suspect some dns issue though. what if you use that same link on a computer or other device? Does it work? Or not? If your router/gateway is doing adblocking of some form then it probably is blocking it at that level...just a thought. I can also duplicate it with one of my routers when I use a host style ad blocking at the gateway.
I hate XDA premium app, I have actually bought it but prefer the free one. My laptop works fine with downloading links connected to the same wifi that my phone is connected to. I get the same error on my phone whether I'm on wifi or mobile network.
Well something you've installed is interfering with it either directly or by modifying the hosts. OR maybe your ROM has a non-default hosts file.

Feel free to compare in a text editor (gedit, notepad++, etc). If its stock it should look like that. Yours is found here: /system/etc/hosts

EDIT: oddly when you download that file from dropbox it appends .txt to the end. The file should simply be named "hosts". I'm on Ubuntu lol so there is absolutely no reason for it to do that... something with their site...

To make it easier, you could flash this one in recovery mode to revert to original hosts file: Reset Hosts File Download

heh, I didn't even think to look for a flashable hosts. Mine is fine, but that's an easier idea. I suspect it's non-default, triggering this issue. It's the onyl thing that makes sense especially on multiple WANs (WWAN + WLAN) AND different browsers.
I just ended up wiping my rom and installing a new one which seems to have solved it.
Cheers for your help though
