Flash player was working before root, but now it's not. Dolphin browser & jetpack installed. Pushed flash player apk to system/app, changed permissions, still no flash player (couldn't load plugin). Noticed that all other apps have oat folder with odex file. Am I missing something? Never had to do anything else to get it working.
Flash player
Well, I flashed stang5litre which is deodexed. Pushed flash player to system/app, changed permissions, and still no flash player. It's been 16 days since my first post and no replies. Does anyone have this problem?

Anyone had any luck getting the video player to actually work, i modified the .so file myself so i know i did it correctly at least as far as the patch that worked on my phone is concerned but on the acer i just got i can't get it to load up a video, just sits there blank
EDIT: nevermind i forgot to reset user agents and flash permissions on the browser, i guess i'm too tired
where do you place the so file??? Can you help me get this working?
Get eh libflashplayer.zip from here and follow the instructions.

Make sure you have installed flash 10.3 first.
Works great.
Ok I still can not get this to work.
I have Flash 10.3
I downloaded the zip file in the link and moved the .so file into the data/data/adobe..... location and replaced the file that was in there.
I rebooted. I have Dolphin HD set to desktop. I have cleared all the cache and cookies. I have it set to always enable plug-ins as suggested deep in those threads.
I have tried everything but yet, neither the apk hulu listed, or the website will play any hulu videos. I can see the page, the ads load fine. SpikeTV loads it's videos, just not Hulu.
I keep getting the "video not available on your platform" after the loading circle.
Help????
Edit: The stock browser does not work either.
I've noticed that every time I reboot that file gets reverted and I have to copy it back over.
Try killing your browser with a task manager and reopening it after copying, instead of rebooting.

That did it! Thanks!
It's working in Dolphin HD.
So to recap the steps for others.
Get Flash 10.3
Go to link mentioned above,
Download the .so Zip file.
Move the .so file to the data/data/adobe..lib folder
replace the file with the downloaded.
Make sure you are set to Desktop and not Mobile.
Also, not sure if it is needed, but I set the settings to Always Enable Plug-Ins.
Hulu works!
Anyone know how to do it, or can do it?
Attached is the OEM flash APK, backed up with Titanium Backup for reference (v10.3.186.50).
I downloaded Flash 10.3.185.22 Hulufied APK, extracted the libflashplayer.so and put it in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib , but that only locked up the device when attempting to load Flash on the browser.
Also note that if you update Flash, it breaks flash compatibility with the default browser, so maybe it's using proprietary flash installation?
I've been looking at Flash and Air as there seem to be much newer versions in the Google Market, however, you can't update them, and you also can't remove the old versions in the conventional manor (even as root), although there must some forced removal process via the CL.
It makes me think that somewhere the Fire is using both in it's interface/apps, and any attempt to update/change will screw things up.
If anyone has any ideas about removing/updating, I'm all ears. I'm trying to look at it myself, but I'm not a dev, just an above average user!
I think the problem might be with the APK's signature. I resigned the stock APK and installed it on my phone. It installed fine, but Dolphin HD wouldn't recognize that I had it installed.

Did you set the permissions properly when you over-road the current libflashplayer.so? If the system can't access the library, then it will obviously not work.

Yes, and there wasn't a libflashplayer.so to overwrite. Stock ROM doesn't have one in there, which confirms sl0ttedpig's suspicions, that this isn't just a standard flash player.

I'm running Flash Player 11.1 from the Market. It runs fine and it has libflashplayer.so in it. When I try to modify libflashplayer.so in the apk, the browser won't recognize it anymore.
The stock ROM must have a custom version of the flash player, but it looks like the regular version works just fine.
If you're using opera mobile, you can specify where the flash plugin (so you can use an alternative one) is located by typing opera:config in the url bar. After you do that, it's under plugin path
I updated my n7 to 4.3 on Thursday and everything was great. I'd had the 4.2.1 aosp browser installed, but tried to install an updated 4.3 browser. It would force close. when I uninstalled the update the 4.2.1 browser which previously worked, will only force close.
I've tried flashable .zip installations, I've tried pushing the apps to system/apps, setting permissions, and rebooting. I've tried just installing the app. none of these work.
I have browserproviderproxy.apk and .odex renamed to .bak.
please, any help is appreciated.
Try aosp browser installer from the market. Worked for me on 4.3.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
I renamed the Browser.apk (asop from N4 I think) by adding a .bak extension on it before flashing the 4.3 update. Also renamed the browserproviderproxy files back to .apk and .odex. After completing the update, I renamed things back, rebooted, asop browser working great, just like before.

going to try this! thanks. (pressed thanks BTW...)
So I accidentally deleted the video player. Does anyone have the apk for it?
Anyone?
And you don't have any rom zip on your computer or phone from which you can extract it ?
Do not flash this in recovery, all i did was zip both the videoplayer apk's as you didn't mention what one you needed, or for what rom.
these are from N9005XXUGBOB6
May we delete a stock app, Video Player?
I think you maybe had 'Turn off' it. If then, go Settings - Application Manager - Turned Off, select this app, and Turn on it.

Thank you, I'm on omega rom n9005.
EDIT: I copied both apk's to /system/app and rebooted phone and video player is still not present. Why isn't it working? I've tried so many stock video player apk's.

So i flashed Jesse' s semi stock kernel for exynos unfortunately it seems those listed in the title arent functioning as on hulu i can only see the ad that plays before the show then it stops playing and Netflix and Smartview dont play at all. Is there a fix for this or a good kernel youd recommend that keeps this intact, i flashed this kernel to be able to change selinux mode to permissible (running Android 7.0 magisk rooted gs8)
So i switched to notorious and smart screen works now but my streaming apps which are hulu and Netflix still arent working id appreciate the help if someone can help or knows of a similar problem
You need to have root first.
Using any file manager with root access.
Set the directory to read-write.
Find this file.
/system/lib/liboemcrypto.so
Just rename it to liboemcrypto.bak . then close the file manager.
Reopen Netflix and see if the streaming now works.

Thanks man appreciate the help
Another possible location for the file
I found that my file was in the folder /system/vendor/lib
same file name.
Also, I had to reboot.
This was for hulu and an S8plus.
