Ok I downloaded the flash player to the tablet and installed it. And the flash player settings ask you what browser you wish to use, so I selected chrome, which doesn't support flash on jelly bean. So I wanted to un associate flash with the chrome browser so I can associate it with firefox but I cannot figure out how to do this.
I tried un installing flash, but when I re install flash, it doesn't ask me which browser to use again, it just opens setting up directly in chrome again.
is there a way to un do this. I've looked around and could not find any help.
Yes, of course there is a way to do this.
Go to Settings - Apps - Chrome - scroll down a bit and click on clear defaults

I performed about:debug in the stock browser, selected UI settings - desktop, and now my browser is FC'ing. Can anyone tell me how to reset the browser without root?
Or maybe uninstall the browser? I have the stock .apk, but it won't let me uninstall.
Thanks for your help.

Got to settings: Applications: Manage Applications: press the menu button and select filter: select all: scroll down to the bottom and find Web: Clear the Data and the Cache!!! That should un-do the about:debug. I did that too and got the same FC'ing, did the procedure above, All is ok now! Hope this helps....
It Works!!!

Dinjin, managed to install that but no reappearance of the icon nor automatic launching of Play from in-app buttons in Google apps.
The only change is that I can adjust , within settings, a new app called Google Play Services. Is this what Play normally show as in the settings?

Hi, sambaselect...
You don't specify if you're rooted, have an unlocked bootloader... or if you're running unrooted factory stock.
There is one thing you could try... Boot your Nexus 7 into safe mode - LONG PRESS the SHUTDOWN TABLET option in the POWERDOWN menu. (or the REBOOT option if you're running a custom ROM that supports an extended POWERDOWN menu).
You will be given the option to reboot the tablet with all user installed apps (ie, from PlayStore) temporarily suspended... and just the core Android apps (Gmail, Maps, etc).. and hopefully PlayStore will be available in the app drawer. If it is, 'drag' a shortcut to one of the home screens and reboot.
Sometimes, if you have a lot of apps installed, it's easy to 'lose' an app in the forest of of icons in the app drawer - you can't 'see the wood for the trees', to use a phrase.
Safe Mode is a good way of quickly seeing those apps installed to the folder /system/app and what might be missing.
Hope this helps....
Rgrds,
Ged.
PS., if you are rooted, you can use a rooted file manager like X-Plore File Manager (http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en) to check the contents of /system/app... you need to be looking for something called PHONESKY.APK - which is the PlayStore app.
I searched and could not find a direct answer.... I am rooted with stock browser. I am updated to 4.3 and recently installed ASOP browser and flash. The browser freezes on websites with flash content and the android flash test page doesn't load... Is there any way to get flash to work with this browser?
thanks

Hi, flyers27...
I've never been able to get Adobe Flash Player working in the AOSP browser under Jellybean 4.3. There's actually a whole thread devoted to this issue here. The thread title declares the problem to be solved... it isn't. The OP mentions that by performing a full factory flash back to stock Jellybean 4.3, the problem should be resolved. Well, I did that (for reasons that have nothing to with Flash), and Flash STILL causes the AOSP browser to freeze/crash.
So, I admitted defeat, sometime back in August, and installed Firefox. For the most part, I use the AOSP browser - but if I know I need to use Flash, I use Firefox.
------------------------------------------
A workaround using Flashify...
This method is dependant on how often you access Flash content... if it's only occasionally, then it's fine and works OK. But if you need to access Flash content a lot, you'd probably be better off just using Firefox as your default browser.
Along with the AOSP Browser, install the Firefox browser.
Then install Flashify.
Set your AOSP browser as default... and use this browser on a routine basis, as normal.
On the occasion you need to access Flash content (say on a given website) in the AOSP browser tap on the menu, and select 'Share page'.... a bunch of listed apps will appear, one of which will be 'Flashify'.
Select 'Flashify', and a list of your installed browsers will appear (including Chrome)... select Firefox.
The webpage URL you're currently looking at will be 'sent' to Firefox... and any Flash content will now work.
Sounds more complicated than it actually is... and I know it's hardly an ideal or an elegant solution, but I've been using this method since mid-August, so it's habitual for me. I do it without really thinking about it.
------------------------------------------
Hope this helps... and if you ever do find a way of making Flash work in the AOSP brower, please post your solution.
Rgrds,
Ged.
I also tried many different browsers but with 4.3 - nothing.

Seems to work fine for me. Have you turned on flash in the web content setting in Dolphin?
Flash works fine with Firefox, if you want to use Dolphin , you need to also install the Jetpack and a hacked version of Flash not just the regular one from Flash Archive.
Just google 'Dolphin hack flash'
Yes I have flash turned on in dolphin. On demand, always on. Still nothing. I try to down load the dolphin flash hack and this is what I get on my phone and pc.

Do you still need it? I have it on my S4. You got that page because dropbox was getting too many hits for a "personal" cloud space.

Is it the same with your pc? Judging from the screenshot you posted and your statement that it also happens in your pc may mean that you were the one who violated Google's terms of service. Flash will work on any pc (version-specific disregarded). Maybe you should try to contact Google and let them explain to you the reason behind it.
Here is a dropbox link from DF
https://www.dropbox.com/s/48engz1qvnujzq5/KitKat.Adobe.Flash.Player.11.1-1.apk
If it still doesnt work, make sure you uninstall all flash then re-install.
Also, Dolphin website has it too.
Dolphin.com/lab/en
I think ur problem from ad block ...like adfree or adblock plus
If u use one of them stop them and restore default then delete them
Use adway app its doesn't have YouTube content issue

Awesome it finally works. Its working in dolphin and other 3rd party apps. Thanks for the download.
OK
I intalled a new stock ROM from sammobile but ever since then when I open Google.com in the browser a message pops out saying your flash player is out of date click OK to update then it redirects me to adobe page.
Plz any help with that?
Thanks
Update your flash player its that simple .
Keep in mind that Chrome and Stock browser ('Internet') do not support plugins of any kind, including Flash. You'll need to use another browser, like Dolphin or Firefox.
Getting Flash is very easy:
Download this file onto your phone (Or onto your PC and copy it to your phone). http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk
(That's the official Adobe download link. Adobe took over Macromedia years ago.)
Just install it like any .apk:
Download the file.
Go to settings > Security > check the box behind 'Unknown Sources',
Go to the downloaded file and open it like any file. That'll open the installer.
Follow the steps.
Open the browser. (Again, Chrome or Stock don't support plugins.)
Go to browsersettings > Plugins.
Set it to either Always or Tap to activate. (Or whatever name the browser gives it.)
That's it. Flash is updated and working.
