Does youtube works under ics now??

Installed ics 4.0.3 everything works great and love it! But youtube doesn't work. I know its expected behavior,but was wondering if there is a work around or I missed something. Additionally, chrome is not loading page under kindle fire. While it opens fine but nothing is showing up.

What ROM are you using? YouTube should work with most of the ICS/CM9 Roms.

I am using the rom/CM9 from this link - is it too old? Where I can find the most stable version?

I didn't have the Google Apps package installed, I downloaded the youtube app from the play store, is this the root cause?

Try updating to one of the newer roms (gedeROM, SGT7 rom, or Glazed)

Veeman is right, I can confirm it works with the roms he mentioned.

downloaded gedeROM, reflashed the device, worked like a charm. Both youtube and chrome problems are fixed. I guess it's just a rom problem.
Thanks all

Can't Get Flash To Work On 4.2

After many hours of reading posts, installing different roms, installing all the flash apk's floating around the forums and trying every available browser, I decided to post here. I have not been able to get flash player to work at all with 4.2 on any custom rom. Every browser I have tried has crashed. I have been at this game for several years, so I have jumped through all the hoops, fixing permissions, fresh installs, etc... My question is, has anybody else had this experience? I am not really looking for testimonials of it working for people right out of the gate, because obviously it is by the lack of postings on this issue. If you fall into the category of struggling with flash on 4.2 and found a combination that finally works, please pass that info on. Thanks and have a great day.

Flash on 4.2
I don't know about on a custom ROM, but this browser plays flash on stock 4.2 with a custom kernel
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/52089051/HoloWeb.apk
Worked out of the box for me.

Hi OP,
I am facing exactly the same problem as you. Mine is a Nexus 7 3g model running on android 4.2 which I got yesterday. I have also try installing every possible flash apk that i can find...tried on alot of browser. Firefox beta, boat browser, dolphin version 8 to 9, holu as recommended by the post above. None can get to work. Its either the browser crash or some can't even display any flash plugin.
Did Google did any modifications to 4.2 that prevent flash from working?? If anybody has solve the problem please share your solution. I am also not a newbie to rooting and custom Roms as my mobile is galaxy s2 and is rooted with custom ROM. Just that I tot nexus 7 can install flash without Going through that. By as the op indicates, even that did not help him.
Thanks for any help in advance!!

Thanks for the reply. I was really not wanting to go the stock route unless necessary. I will tuck the download away and use if need be. Thanks for the response.

Flash is working but only for really small videos.
When it comes to bigger videos or apps it freezes the browser.(Both with Custom and normal kernel)

Thanks for the reply. I only tried it on several websites that had web streams that I visit frequently. Good to know that there may be issues across the board.

not an issue at all with flash, works great. android aosp browser, rasbean jelly ROM, trinity kernel.

I tried that combination, didn't experiment with any other kernel but the one built into the rom. I don't know, hard to imagine it being a hardware issue with my device.

do you use any ad blocking apps? try adfree(play store free), itll stop a lot of those flash ads that give flash a hard time. what browser are you using?

Use the AOSP stock browser mainly, but tried boat, xscope and others that I have had success with on 4.1.2. I will try adfree with a fresh install and see what happens. Thanks.

Same problem here. It's working with some flash but definitely not all. Even the one on adobe website that checking whether flash is installed make browser crashed. ><
Hope to find solution too.

If you have flash can you watch hulu without a plus subscription?

Well, only solution I've found for now.
Use Firefox for android. It's only browser I've found working with almost all flash.
If you'd still prefer other browser as default, just switch off flash/plugin option in that browser to "on demand" (not always).
Then download Flashify from playstore, it helps share link to other browser with ease.
I use AOSP as my default browser, when I browse to a page with flash and I want to see, just share it to Firefox via Flashify.
That's my solution for now, hope this help.

Hi guys,
Seems like there is a mixture of success and failure of getting flash working on Android 4.2.
Care to share what device you are using be it success or failure?
I still can't get mine to work.
Nexus 7 (3G Model)
Stock condition: Andriod 4.2
I even come across a thread where after he did a factory reset the flash got working. I did my factory reset...still no luck.

Well, I'll share my detail.
Nexus 7 wifi model 32GB
Stock JB 4.2 Rooted
Flash player 11.1.115.27 (Try other version - same result)
Flash working on Firefox for android only, no other browsers.
Should I try factory reset then ?

I have it on my 32GB Wi-Fi. 4.2
Used the info from here (I take no credit for this) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336

and this is why I didn't update to 4.2

Hi OP,
Do you mean when you flash back to AOKP 4.1.2 you got the flash working perfectly? The choppy happen on the 4.2 is it?

Sorry, flash was too choppy for me with Firefox on 4.2. I reverted back to 4.1.2 until things get ironed out with possible updates or a solid solution.

Install Jelly Bean 4.2 Keyboard from the market and use that one instead

I can't download from the market on account of I don't have a working keyboard. ill try downloading the apk.

there must be something wrong with gapps. it runs fine before installing gapps. after installing gapps i installed the keyboard but the rom is very unresponsive, the account setup kept glitching, couldnt get the market to connect to the internet, and the home button doesnt work. whats going on? would someone mind sending me a backup that is working and already has gapps installed or point me in the direction where i can find that.

Maybe you flashed wrong GAPPS package?

I had the same thing happen to me with the keyboard crashing after gapps. Sure enough I installed the wrong one.

I've tried a couple and the same thing happens. The one I've been using is gapps-jb-20121212.zip. I'll try again.

I'm downloading the one off of cyanogenmod website under nexus 7 grouper. I'm pretty sure I don't have the gsm version but I'll check.

What's the deal with cm development on this tablet. I even just tried to download the play store apk and it force closes.

Idk I am pretty dissapointed because I've always loved the CM ROMs but thats what XDA is for.

I'm having the same difficulty with CM 10 on a Sony Xperia Arc. Have tried multiple kernels (included with CM Roms, or not) and Gapps packages. If it is possible to load a stock or other keyboard after flashing a ROM, I'd like to hear about this.

[Q] Play Store suddenly disappears?!

Hello there,
I have a very strange problem which I can't explain at all.
My device is the N4 16GB.
I flashed the latest xylon rom a few days ago and everything was fine, but suddenly the play store completely disappeared. I haven't done anything abnormal. I thought it must be a xylon problem somehow.
Since yesterday I am on AOKP rom and again everything was finde until right now. Play store is missing again...
I have no idea what's going on.
I restored my backup which I made shortly after flashing AOKP and there the play store is still there.
Can anybody help me? Has anybody else similar expierences? How could that happen?
Thanks a lot!

Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Video Camera always crashes

I recently decided to root this device with the help of my friend. He used Resurrection remix as the custom ROM and is now Android 7.1.2. Everything was fine until I discovered my video camera isn't working at all. Camera on the other hand works as it's supposed to. Facebook messenger's video call crashes, video recording crashes, - everything related to video recording crashes. I tried to download camera apps on play store, same results. I tried clearing data on camera, restarting device, or turning off device doesn't help either. What could the problem possibly be? I need answers! Thank you!

Its a bug of rom

So should what should we do next? Reinstall another custom ROM? The ROM actually came here at XDA (Resurrection Remix Android 7.1.2). But there are also other ROMs (CyanogenMod).

Stick to this rom , i am also having the same problem I'm sure they will resolve the issue

There is another rom in the lenovo russian forums and that is Resurrection Remix too but compiled from different sources. That rom is pretty stable without any major issues. You can install that one.
