Hi guys,
I'm competely new to xda and am a bit of a novice when it comes to apps/computers etc.
I was wondering if it is possible to get adobe flash for the nexus 7 and how on earth do i go about it?
I know people have asked this question many times before (but i can't find the exact answer i'm looking for).
Before anyone says it.... I know flash isn't great but I need it to watch tv (the RTE player)
Any help (broken down in very,very simple baby steps :silly: ) would be great!

Hello to the Community. I first want to say thank to all you great people. This is the BEST forum going and you've been a huge help to many times.
OK so I'm a new owner of a 16g Nexus 7.
The main goal of this thread is I'm trying to find a gaming controller, the cable to allow the controller to function, and then a cable that will allow me to play games or watch movies on my big screen. I have some knowledge of what I'm looking for but not enough. I didn't want to make the mistake of buying the wrong thing, especially on line.
The other day I go and buy a micro HDmi to HDMI and realized after that is no go on either the N7 or gnex. So I'm here: I'm confident I can get good Info on all three of these items that work well and for cheap.
I have searched around here, other forums and on line but I haven't find anything definitive enough on what I would all need and works most current.
Need to buy on line asap:
The gaming controller: I don't care if its wired or wireless. Whatever you experts recommend is fine with me.
HDMI capable cable to TV.
If I have made any mistakes in posting or didn't include enough info please let me know.
Thank you all ahead of time for taking the time.

I am no expert either....just picked up my N7 today as well.
but i am pretty sure you need an MHL adapter...which is micro SD to Full HDMI female plug. then an HDMI cable from MHL to the TV.
as for the controller, i would probably stick with Bluetooth. you can use a PS3 BT controller (make sure it is official sony sixaxxis as some nockoffs use a wireless transmitter which isn't as easy and may not even work on the N&)
the PS3 controller i believe requires Root and an app which costs Money.
or there are other ones that gamestop sells called the Nyco playpad or something like that designed specifically for android gaming.
the Nyco requires a free app in the play store.
hook everything up, and you should be gaming in no time.
i personally can't wait to play some Old school NES games on my bigscreen.
There"s no mhl on the nexus 7.

Hey there and welcome,
I have done a couple of the things you're aiming to achieve.
For the controller, I have purchased a cheap micro USB OTG host (Right angled) from eBay for about £1.
This enabled me to use wired controllers, mount USB sticks for films etc.
I purchased an unofficial Xbox controller from Argos for around £17, it didn't work 100% from plug in, I had to modify the key layout file which took 2 mins, now it's perfect.
With regards to the HDMI, I don't think the N7 supports MHL, android 4.2 however will support wireless screen sharing via a dongle you plug into the TV. I forgot what its called.
Anyway, hope that helps, enjoy the nexus 7!
Edit: software is called miracast, looks promising. And if this method is preferred I guess a wireless controller is preferred too!

Yo thank you for the reply buddy
Sucks no Hdmi but o well gaming with a controller(wired or not) will work for now. What i wanted was to specifically find some ppl who had experience with a setup that confirmed working as recent as poss.
Price wise 1 for the cable and 17 for the controller works for me.
Do you mind linking me to the 2 products?
I wanna order something on line like now. Lol

Hey dude thanks for the reply
OK so see this is why i can get confused. The one reply below yours says n7 has no mhl support which I did hear multiple times other places online. But your saying it IS POSSIBLE with the MHL adapter( and I've seen it done on YouTube somehow). If it is me.that is misunderstanding what is being said, please 4give me,
--all I want is to game with a controller on my N7, if its possible to do it on a big screen...GREAT, if not no biggie at all. I just want to understand it however it is.
Make the purchases asap so they can get here asap. Lol
This can be really frustrating lol

Like i said, i am new to this device as well. i though for sure i saw that MHL worked and since it works with the Gnex, i figured it was OK to put that in my post.....I was wrong. looks like it doesn't work will have to wait for miracast and 4.2 for the bigscreen

Sure I bought this OTG cable:

And this controller:

Worked a treat, was a quick fix to make it work perfect I can explain later if you end up with these.
Enjoy!

I basically just ordered a cheap, non-branded game controller (about $5), got a USB OTG cable with the same specifics (cheap, non-branded), and found a custom keylayout that works for cheap, non-branded controllers. Combined all those together, and I now have a nice controller that can play games like DEAD TRIGGER

Yeah no problem, as long as the gameplay has the same layout as an Xbox controller, I know how to make it work. Other types will be a bit different buy I'm sure other people have got them working by editting the keylayout file, just send me a pm and I'll help with what I can.
With regards to the Argos site, you may want to find it locally for cheaper.

Hey guys.
OK I got this http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=280894965492 for $7
I haven't had much time but with the testing I've done with the time I did have here is what I know:
dead trigger- I see that this game has a built in option to use a game pad and map the buttons. It seemed pretty simple to do. The one small issue I couldn't figure out was how to map the control to lower w/e weapon I'm using. With the normal touchscreen your able to move that up/down. With the controller it stays about right at a level where w/e weapon I'm using shoots the zombies at head level( which is great when shooting) but sometimes its nice to be able to move that, especially when you are moving. If anyone knows how to do this or anything else Im missing i would appreciate the help very much.
NFS Most Wanted- could not figure out how to get the controller to work. Any info would be great.
Asphalt Heat-I haven't tried yet but I'm pretty sure there is a built in option to use a gamepad as well. Correct?
MC3-Iv seen and heard this game is capable of using USB controller but I don't know how to get it work. Any info on this?
NBA Jam-tried straight plug and play with this game and had no success?
Beach Buggy Blitz- built in option for gamepads worked. Pretty simple.
Any other games that anyone has experience with plug and play or simple modifications would be a great help to me.
Thank you.

Can someone please please help me. I got a USB controller that works. The game in question is modern Combat 3 on the nexus 7. This is driving me fricken crazy. I been at this for hours and I'm about ready to go nuts. I'm at the point where I'm trying to map the buttons on the touch screen. I figured out how to maps most of the buttons EXCEPT FOR HOW TO MOVE/RUN AND AND AIM. I'm trying to map the left analog stick to move/run and the right analog stick to aim/movie the gun around. I'm kind of able to but the direction I'm moving are all fed up and I can't get it right.
I'll be able map the right analog stick to move the gun around but up moves left down moves right left moves up and right moves down. You understand what I mean? It WILL NOT let me to get right how its suppose to be.
If someone can somehow someway help it would be a huge help. I've literally been at it for 2 day on and off and I can't figure it out. Its so darn frustrating.

What is everyone using as their launcher/car dock app for car installs? Installing my Nexus 7 in my 2005 Explorer soon and I'm trying to get it setup before the install. Just looking for layout thoughts, tips, and recommendations for convenience and ease of use in-car. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Not to HJ this, but I'm also going to be installing my nexus in my vehicle. I'm looking to do a intergrated install and wonder why major car audio manufactures have ignored the functionality of Android! I would like to know people are using for software as well as hardware (3.5mm vs DA, usb storage, hubs, charging)
I'm surprised there isn't a Nexus in car sticky yet!
Check out the usb rom by Timur @ rootzwiki,perfect rom for car install.

Looks like a kernel not a ROM? - Lets not forget the OP was looking for docking apps!
DOCK APPS
Yes, this is a DOCK APP thread. There are plenty of theads out there discussing hardware solutions, and I SEARCHED those and found exactly what I needed for hardware, ROM, and kernel.
Now I'm asking for input on DOCK APPS, because I didn't find any threads that specifically discussed that, and thought it might be helpful.

You are in the wrong section. This is for the Nexus Player Android TV device. Head on to the Nexus 9 Q&A. I recommended reading and searching, perhaps your question has already been answered: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/help
I don't know if I'm Arthur or Martha I'm so overwhelmed with information. Three weeks of research and all I have to show for it is daily morning head-aches and a recycle bin full of empty wine bottles...
Surely there is an Android double din head unit close to $300AU/$225US for my 2003 Corolla which can play music/AM/FM radio while I'm navigating in Waze? I'm at the point where I don't even care if I can't take calls, but it would be nice...
I would be eternally grateful for any help at all..
