[Q] flash halp! - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

4.3/rooted/latest PA rom
How do I?

1. the chrome browser does not play flash videos or games.
2. the aosp android browser does flash, you will need to install a flash apk.

Also try dolphin browser from play store. It has flash support

Help with videos that requires flash. Any apps?

Hello guys, does anyone knows a app that can play flash required to videos? Like any external player from the app store? And no this isn't for Porn. I'm using a nexus 7 jelly bean. Thanks.

You can sideload a flash APK, and just install Firefox.
Works perfectly fine
Dolphin HD also includes Flash
Here's what I did. Works great.

The older version does. The newer updated one no longer supports it. The developers actively removed the functionality.
Yeah I'm using dolphin browser now but no flash is supported. You guys know any apps from the market that does the job that I missed?

the android browser(not chrome) thats also found in aosp works great on the nexus 7, and plays well with flash. it might even be the fastest jelly bean browser.

Puffin browser works great for flash videos even in full screen.
Flash again
I sideloaded flash from an apk file and also Firefox (beta). No joy I'm afraid. Would someone have a step by step guide to solving the Flash Player problem to include software and/or version numbers. Thank you, Dave

Got a TF300T...No flash... Help?

Hi just got this tablet, and it seems Adobe won't support Flash with Jellybean, and as soon as I got the tablet I officially updated it to 4.1.1. So anyone know how to get Flash onto this tablet? I don't wanna root the tab and I already have Dolphin Browser HD. I need flash to watch TV shows and run games. Thanks

Probably the only way since everything is HTML5 these days.. well according to google and adobe that is >.> so chrome and dolphin browser doesn't support flash. My dolphin used to, but dunnno why it doesn't now. But the stock browser is the only one I can use, but it's crapily slow
You could also use a custom ROM that supports flash....for instance, I'm using the BAKED Blackbean ROM, which is based on Android 4.1.1 (Jellybean). I play flash videos in the native youtube app without any problems whatsoever. That way, you still get the "benefits" of Jellybean (which I don't feel are enough reason to update from ICS) and you can watch flash videos. You can have your beans, and eat them too!!
Depending on how technically-inclined you are, you could also downgrade your firmware to the previous update before Jellybean (would be 9.3.4.30, or something similar). This does involve unlocking your bootloader using ASUS' official tool, and therefore voiding your ASUS warranty.

Maybe Flash is disabled in Dolphin browser. Open Dolphin, go to Settings > Web Content > Flash Player and try enabling it. A message pops up saying that it could cause Dolphin to crash etc. Enable it if the message doesn't scare you and hopefully it'll work :victory:
yes install flash player apk, upgrade in the market, in your downloads (everyone) will apear the update (if the flasplayer.apk is old) you can use stock browser or firefox. chrome and dolphin doesnt work.
but the flash player will dont work fast... only whit some things
At this time you can not downgrade from the JB bootloader even if unlocked!
+1 flash working on JB.

Flash Player in stock [without root]

I have Nexus 7 on Android 4.2.1. Is there any way to get Flash Player in stock browser without root? I was successful with Flash Player + XScope or Firefox but not Chrome :crying:
Chrome does not support flash anymore

Please can someone confirm that the stock browser works with the ics flash player on this tablet, as I need this for streaming football, and please can someone let nee know if I need to root this for it to work?
Many thanks, and looking forward to feedback so I can order this tonight.

I'm not sure what you mean by "stock browser" since on stock 4.3 "Chrome" is the stock browser.
I have installed "ASOP Browser" (need root) on stock 4.3 which IMHO is the best Android browser that I have ever used...

Does flash work in your ASOP browser? If so, how did you do it?
It's actually the AOSP browser.
Anyway, i've never gotten Flash to work on my Nexus 7 running the AOSP browser on 4.3. Tried numerous apk's all to no avail.
4.3 broke the Flash player on the Nexus 7. Most browsers will freeze whenever you browse to a website that uses Flash. (Flash still partially works with Firefox, though)
Interestingly, the Flash player still works just fine on the Nexus 4 with 4.3.
