I've been wanting to get this feature back on my wife's KF that I flashed to ICS.

the Amazon Video app WILL NOT work on a Nexus 7. It won't run on ICS or higher.
You have to download the flash apk and use an alternative browser such as firefox, ics browser + or dolphin and watch through the browser.
i have read reports that Jelly Bean 4.1.1 breaks flash so you can't even install it, in which case amazon video is impossible on the Nexus 7.

Questions go in the Q&A section

Install the apk & use Dolphin HD to watch Amazon Instant Video via web browser.
EDIT: I included flash player from my TiBU

Is this the most recent one?

Got it working!
Have an SGS III with CM10 JellyBean Nightly (cm-10-20121008.....). Ran it from the stock browser provided by CM10. User Agent was left as default (Android). I installed the flash file provided by the above link. I did have to request Full Site to view. Cannot view from mobile site.

How do you get flash video streams to work?

I had an older adobe flash 11 version apk i installed and that didnt work. It only showed the blue cube symbol. Any way to make it work?

I use Dolphin Browser HD 8.5.1 and Flash 11.1.115.17 and get no problems other than full screen not working.

Another one of these...
Boat browser + latest Flash *.apk (here on xda). No problems at all, even full screen works properly.

Or Firefox + flash 11.1.115.17.

Thanks, was worried because on the sgn didnt have this issue with an older version of flash and on the nexus 7 it didnt work. Also, when I went into playstore to get the adobe flash it said was compatible with my device which sucked.

1. Flash: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html (scroll down to Flash for Android 4.0)
2. Browser:
Firefox: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm9yZy5tb3ppbGxhLmZpcmVmb3giXQ..
Boat: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...r.free&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
3. ....
4. profit.

Boat doesn't work for me with .17 Flash. I get the blue cube symbol as well so I'm sticking with Firefox which plays 90% of the videos I've tried at least.
I must have something wrong in the settings for the Boat Browser is all I can think of.
When I go to the Flash Application Settings the only choices there are Peer Networking or Local Storage. Whatever the heck I'm suppose to choose outta the two there baffled me so I just left it on local storage and it doesn't let me go any further than that but at least Firefox works set that way.

Never mind. I didn't have .17 after all.
Got 11.1.115.17 for ICS from the Adobe dev site and both Boat and Firefox beta play Amazon Prime video with sound full screen now.
Guess I don't need to sell my N7 and get a Fire HD after all.
I am having the same problem with Boat and the last couple of versions of Dolphin will not let you enable Flash.
I tried Firefox and can get the video but no sound.
I am using the latest Flash apk from the Adobe dev site, do I need to use the modified apk from xda instead?
Where can I get an older version of the Dolphin apk, before they blocked Flash?

Flash Installer - One click Adobe Flash for Jellybean

Adobe Flash has been removed from the Google Play store. Jellybean devices do not have Flash any longer, making the browsing experience no better than that of an iPhone.
Adobe Flash can be installed by just installing the newest version of the apk, which takes unnessecary searching on the web.
Hence, I created the app "Flash Installer", simply click install, and forget about it. It will prompt you to install flash and then disappear and never bother you again.
Download the app here and give your Jellybean device a dose of Adobe Flash. Boost your browsing experience!
Download (click image): (or click https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=genius.mohammad.flashinstaller)

Clicking anywhere on the picture, I was unable to download this file. It just zooms in the image itself.

Just updated to the latest version. Should hit Google Play within an hour or so.
Guaranteed to work. Also comes with Holoweb browser since it supports Flash well.

Link does not work, please post an updated one or the .apk
Thanks!

You can always manually find the latest version of Adobe flash for Android here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
Scroll down the page to "Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives"
As of this post, this is the latest version of Adobe Flash for Android 4.0*
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.27/install_flash_player_ics.apk
*There is no official support or version for Android 4.1 and up, but the ICS version works without issue (well, some browsers have issues with it or dont support it, but none of my built-in CM10 device browsers have issue and work flawlessly)
All of the above being said, as its unsupported, its all YMMV (or, your own mileage may vary)

i'm flashed again.
the alfa romeo site is a good flash based site to check the app.
thx 4 d app

[Q] Amazon video

I am trying to get amazon videos to work on my nexus 7. I have an otherwise stock 4.2.2. I found a post on this forum that had a link to download the kindle fire rom and I extracted the apk files and installed the ones mentioned in the post. All of them install except account and sync settings. i created the amazon account in the settings menu and tried to open the video app but it keeps crashing. Has anyone been able to get this working on a nexus 7?

I use firefox and flash. It freezes up every once in a while bit for the most part it works.

I tried Firefox and dolphin browser but neither would recognize that flash was installed. Dolphin browser flat says they won't support flash in 4.2.

It will not work. It is dependent on the KF's framework files and OS verification. The post you followed is extremely outdated.
Until Amazon chooses to provide support, the only workaround is to use a compatible web browser and Flash.

The latest update of dolphin doesn't support flash. Boat browser works for me. Only enable flash when you want to watch amazon videos. Since the last jb update having flash enabled will cause the browser to lock up on websites that have embedded video.

Currently flashfox (and several other combo's) do not work with my 4.4 install, running as secondary on multirom, 4.3 = primary.
hopefully someone will resolve 4.4 issue in the near future.....

That's just odd. I still have yet to encounter an issue with it. I'll keep looking then.

if you’ve got a previous version of flash player installed on your device, you’ll need to uninstall it . Now follow theses steps to install flash manually on android 4.4 kitkit
Download Dolphin Jetpack from the Google Play Store. Dolphin Browser & Dolphin Jetpack
Next download the Flash Player which is a hacked version of Flash. Yo can find Hacked version here
Go to Settings > Securities > Unknown resources. This will let you install apks outside the Google Play i.e. unknown installations.
Make sure to first install any previous version of Flash before installing the hacked Flash Player for the compatibility.
In Dolphin Browser, go to Menu > Settings > Web Content > Flash Player to enable the flash setting in the browser.

I've done everything you've said, but flash still doesn't work when I'm trying to watch live broadcasts from vapeon TV. I keep getting a message that says I need to install flash player. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Apparently I didn't do everything you said! Lol. I didn't turn on the flash player in the Dolphin browser. Now everything works fine since I've turned it on. Thanks for the help!
