Flash player - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are there any apps that will give flash support on jelly bean or are we just screwed?

Flash works perfectly for me. I'm rooted and replaced the default browser (Chrome) by renaming the BrowserProviderProxy.apk and BrowserProviderProxy.odex and copying in the Browser.apk from the AOSP Nexus browser. Side-loaded flash for mobile from the Adobe site. Search a little and you'll find lots more info about this. Other users claim Flash support on other browsers, but I haven't used them.

People like to use Firefox and install the flash apk. I have honestly never needed to use flash player though.

I sideloaded the flash player that I backed up from another device and use it with Firefox Beta (no root required).

I've attached the latest flash player. It worked fro me with Firefox. Mine is rooted. But if you are not you can give it a shot. Let me know if it works.

Works great on boat and maxthon browsers.

Dolphin works. Even newest versions. You need to delete or change some tunny browser file. I forget exactly, just search dolphin and flash. And no....you don't have to use version 8.5.xxx. that will crash if you full screen a video.

I just tried UC browser with flash and it worked. So far it's the only one that hasn't crashed when playing flash videos. Firefox crashes occasionally, boat crashes EVERY time I try to play a flash video.

After read your comment and google that finally I has found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933179 thread and it work!!

Ok, but I'm not rooted (yet)
Just got my nexus 7 recently, maybe in the future I'll root it.

I would recommend puffin browser or boat browser, both support flash without any extra app. Just download one and 'ur ready to go!

I am using Firefox 22.0 and have installed a newest version of Flash Player
Please note that in Firefox you have to allow use of plugins in Definitions menu

[Q] flash player not compatible

Is there a version of flash player I can side load ? I'm bummed to find flash player isn't compatible in play store. Loving my new nexus though!
Perhaps you didn't get the memo but flash isn't compatible with jelly bean. Or at least I think its not.

I'm pretty sure I read flash will not be updating or working on smartphone applications any longer...

I restored a previous backup. Ditto with the fullscreen crashing, both in Dolphin HD and Opera Mobile browsers.
Kind of bummed too, since one of the main purposes of finding a reason to buy the N7 in the first place was to be able to watch anime on it. Usually 5 out of 6 alternate video links are flash, and the html5 won't full screen..
Is there an addon or app that can be installed that would take over the inline streamed feed?
is there anyway to watch noobroom.com videos on nexus 7 ?
This is the best solution I have found

Flash seems smoother on Mozilla then Dolphin HD+Beta

Great site, thanks
I loaded up 'the Raven' on Mozilla and looks like it let me go to the full screen without crashing, if the other videos are using the same embedded then it should work no problem but if not then use my 'trick' for those
thanks everyone, I'll try sideloading firefox later today with the plugin.

I downloaded Flash..what now

Forgive the dumb question, but now that I've downloaded the Flash apk for my stock nexus 7, how do I get dolphin to recognize it? When I try to play flash video it says that I need to install flash, or that my device is not compatible....is there a way to make this work
Nexus 7....Verizon sg3..stock as hell.
latest version of Dolphin browser does not support flash.
I would suggest you use Firefox Beta....works like a champ.
Boat browser is also good but dolphin will not allow you to use flash.

Downloaded Firefox beta, seems smooth, but there is no sound on flash video. What the bleep am I doing wrong?

+1 for boat, have been using it since I got my Nexus a few months ago because of the flash support and it's been rock solid!
I still think the AOSP stock browser is best for flash support

Stock Browser seems to work best with flash for me (using Paranoid ROM)

Flash player

Any way to activate flash player.
...or an 4.2 not support flash atall!

Its not supported at all, though I haven't tried using dolphin browser. From what I know they still had a way of having flash work sometimes.

Not officially supported, you have to sideload it.

Works 100% perfect with aokp 4.2 browser , search the themes and apps thread to get a copy and directions
Just load the latest version of flash for android from adobe.com and a browser who supports the plugin e.g. firefox from market and you're fine. works great for me
I also find flash works better when you set user agent to android instead of desktop.
I'm using it with Firefox and it's great -- high frame rate, good resolution. It's almost as good as a desktop experience playing embedded videos.

No flash on Nexus 7??

i thought my browsers dialed the flash, but it seems the device is incompatible with adobe flash player. Why would Google follow the lead of Apple and do this?

Its not Google fault as such, Adobe abandoned mobile flash so Google couldn't add it since they said they wasn't going to support it past 4.0. You are able to sideload it and it does work pretty well with firefox beta. You should be able to find the flash file on this forum there are lots of posts on the subject.
To get file see here, its just been posted this morning

Using flash to play Amazon Prime works great.
I used CM10.1 with AOSP browser but you can do it on the stock ROM too, I imagine.
