Hi all
I recently got hands on an S4.
It bugs me that it cannot run flash (properly)
I've installed Flash and a Flash player like SWF player.
When I launch a game it starts for some frames and then crashes/freezes. Some games work, but the most dont.
I can run them with browsers like firefox and UC browser (or whatever its called)
But the performance isnt smooth like using the SWF player.
Also looked up on other stuff like the stock launcher or dolphin (with flash support)
Its the same there, it starts some frames and then crashes
So is there any new/better way to start flash?

Use photon flash browser
it has its own flash and doesnt need the flash apk

Tried it - its really unstable and slow
Might not be able to get it to work the way you want (I only use it with browsers/on web which obviously works fine once you install it manually) given Adobe stopped supporting Flash on Android a while back.

Yeah, so far UC browser is the fastest one handling the flashes (but not crispy enough) but not all flashes are working.
Gotta wait then. Maybe someone mods/creates something new

Hi,
I've just installed the latest WM6 rom on my 8525 and also installed Flash player 7 along with the java addons. I've tried viewing videos from youtube and mtv from both internet explorer and opera mini 4 beta 3 but any video i click it always says flash player not installed and click here to go to adobe etc.... Can someone help me configure it so I can play flash videos? thanks
cmon, somebody has to have an answer for this. I can't load any videos on standard pages for myspace, mtv, youtube, etc. it says javascript is either turned off or you dont have the right player. I downloaded flashplayer 7. Running mini opera 4 beta 3 and pocket IE as well as picsel browser.
Mobile browsers not designed for video
Neither of the browsers you are trying are capable of displaying flash based videos. The Opera Mini will probably never support them because it is a Java based browser for use on most any phone. There is a Windows Mobile Opera that is in beta, last I heard, that claims to support flash based videos, however the only thing I could get it to do was crash my 8525, forcing me to soft reset, at which time I then uninstalled it completely. As you will see in the instructions at one of the links below, there is one more file you can download that will play the videos, which seems to be accomplished through the link from internet explorer triggering the thirdparty app to open and strat trying to play the video.
You could try the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326225, however I have not tried them and can not confirm for you if they work.
The way I currently play these type files is using a program called AvotMV. AvotMV has a internet browser type feel to it, and when you play the videos it will automatically play them "full" screen (in portrait mode). If you want to try AvotMV, you can download it for free from the developers here here http://www.avotmedia.com/
the tcpmp and flashbundle works beautifuly. especially on a highspd connection. the newest version givesthe choice dowloading or streaming it. You will have to unistall flash7 as it will clash with flashbundle plugin. I posted awhile back if some could figure out how to get them to work together or at least independently on different browsers because the tmpcp flash plugin will only play videos not other flash content.
That explains it...
I have the official flash 2.1 from adobe for WM5/6 which allows me to use one of the spinning cube flash controllers. Would be nice if someone could figure it out because this does not look like it will work for me until a fix is made.
i read that HD2 has a flash player but if you look at this site
www.expedia.com
the portion of flash (to the right) will not be seen
The HD2 comes with a standalone Flash Lite player, for playing SWF files.
Opera does not support Flash (I think the Opera 10 beta may do, but the default installed version 9.7 does not), but IE does.
It's not the phone that plays Flash files. It's the software.
You can also get get Skyfire, a free alternate browser. However, Opera gives a really better browsing experience, so the best choice would be to keep Opera for standard browsing, and use Skyfire for flash.
the Flash Lite player does not play my .swf files??
is this the reason why my kids could not use my HD2 to play on facebook/farmville ?

yes. wait for opera mobile 10 and flash player 10.1 coming early next year to your favourite mobile phone.
I have american android 2.3.7 CM7,2 NAND
I have installed adobe flash player 11.
Im using opera mobile browser or dolphin browser.
When Im watching a flash video the player is not able to play it properly. The image suddenly stops whilst the sound is going on. Or the video stops working completely.
Could somebody tell me where the problem could be ?
The problem is in ADOBE
They screwed flash player lately. You can't do much.

I'm using TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.7.6 and use maxthon browser (latest version) and touch wood all flash seems to be working well for me, Maybe give maxthon a go?
You know, flash player is also hardware dependant. So if adobe doesn't fully support older hardware then video playback is not smooth. Also last updates made it only worse. Evo 3D is very powerful unit, and even on software rendering far exceeds HD2 capability
had this working on 4.1.1 fine. updated to 4.1.2 and now after countless combos of firefox and flash player versions, playing flash crashes the firefox browser. AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH! can anyone help??
Did you try AOSP browser? I am using CM 10 4.1.2 rom and latest flash is working flawlessly on both Firefox and AOSP browser.
Which Firefox and Adobe version are you using?

works fine with marathon browser, but i use ff
You can try to sideload older version of flash and see if you face same issue.
And are you using Firefox Beta or just Firefox? Firefox beta seems to work better on android.
But my recommendation would be to use AOSP Browser, its the best browser for android imo better than firefox.

ya... ive tried about 5 earlier versions..all fail. can you go to youtube.com and play videos with firefox??
Yes I use Youtube app though its very good. If I try playing any video on youtube in firefox beta it opens it in the youtube app itself.

right!! but if in firefox if you request a "desktop version of site" then try to play the video in the browser....it crashes. can you try a test of doing that way for me ?? thanks
I tried using the desktop site the full screen worked fine. Only thing I noticed is the buttons like play, resume, full screen appeared blurred , not good. But full screen played fine, no crashes.
I have played videos on other web sites and they also play fine on full screen.
Why you are not using youtube app for watching videos?

not "fullscreen" in firefox in the options you check "request desktop site" after you load www.youtube.com, then try to play a video
I understood what you said before and I did check request desktop site too works fine for me.

Thanks!! I gave up..... flashed CM10 Kang 4.1.2................ now everything works fine!
Just as a question, did you use firefox beta or the normal firefox? On 4.1.1 I had to use firefox beta to make flash work fine, but on 4.1.2 firefox beta flash did only work in NOT Fullscreen mode and trying to use fullscreen made flash crash. Funny thing is, on 4.1.1 the same happened to the normal Firefox. But now on 4.1.2 I use the normal Firefox browser (nfot the beta) and the latest flash version from the archives and it works very goood, also in fullscreen mode no crashes. Hope I could help some people looking into this topic.
I haven't found an apk for flash that works yet. Has anyone else or for dolphin version 8.x or higher or the AOSP browser?
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
There are all versions for 4.0 at that link, I don't use AOSP or dolphin on my Note 3 but .81 the newest works fine with Firefox on mine

Nope. With the latest flash version (11.1.115.81), in desktop mode, the stock browser doesn't play videos at all for me either. In mobile browser mode, youtube videos will play, but not directly in the browser. An external player takes over ( with no option to choose).
Same scenario, but with Dolphin Mini, videos play directly in the browser each time.
Using Hulu, the stock browser and Dolphin Mini both play video clips within the browser window while in mobile mode. It seems to be a made for mobile browsing kind of video player. As soon as switch to desktop mode, both fail to play any videos. The stock browser complains that Adobe flash player isn't installed, while Dolphin Mini receives a system not supported message.
As far as flash content goes (games, ads, banners, etc), the stock browser isn't having any of it (mobile or desktop). It just won't display it.
Dolphin Mini handles banners and advertisements pretty well in both modes. I was also able to get this game to load beyond the play button screen quite a few times, but it crashed right after tapping start on every attempt.
I don't really know what the best methods are to test flash, but from what I'm seeing, we may be SOL for the time being.
Have you guys checked out the latest version of Maxthon browser?
I HATED this browser when i tried it years ago, but they totally re-wrote it and its pretty amazing!
plays flash beautifully as well,
