[Q] Nexus Owners - can you install flash / does it work? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone who already has one, install flash and report if it works?

i do not have a Nexus 7 but i have a Galaxy Nexus which i installed the I/O version of jelly bean on.
I can confirm that Flash worked perfectly with Firefox (chrome does not support it) and the stock browser (one rom included that).
i tested with amazon prime instant video and youtube.

Yes, you can install Adobe Flash & Air. I've installed both on my device

Questions go in the Q&A section

but make sure you've got it installed by mid-august cause adobe are removing it from the store.

Well let's hope that HTML5 gets more support soon :banghead:

Alternate download source for Flash install files
After mid-August, you may still be able to find Android Flash at the Adobe web site. I'm too new to be allowed to post links here but I found the apk version at the Adobe web site look for the page titled Flash Player Help Archived Flash Player versions.
Mark

My nexus 7 is still on pre-order. But I did test the stock browser of my phone running android 2.3.7 for HTML5 from this link:
http://html5test.com/
Looks like HTML5 is not fully supported on the browser I'm using
Can someone that already has the device test this and share the results?

Adobe 7 vs Flash 3.1

Please advice:
I install Adobe 7 and when viewing Youtube the quality seem better than flash 3.1 but when I go to the microsoft mobile website to view video then I just can't.
Should I install both Adobe 7 and flash 3.1 or what did I do wrong? I like Adobe 7 cause quality of youtube seems better but slower.
Thanks
Just what is Adobe 7...?
3.1 doesnt load flash sites. ie. clanpi.com
Are you trying out with Opera?
Yes. using opera to get to window media but when I click on video to play it just didn't do anything. Do I have to install something?
I did install fp7_ppc-en.cab
Thanks in advance
I have a similar problem, on certain flashsites i get " you need the latest flash player to view this content" and i have the same package installed, but sites like youtube works fine...what tha hell is this, very annoying.
Flash Lite 3.1 will play back SWF content created with Flash 9 as long as it does not use ActionScript 3. Only ActionScript 2 support is included in Flash Lite 3.1.
Flash Player 7 for PPC is also ActionScript 2 compatible but only targets material created for Flash Player 7 or earlier.
so... how about giving skyfire a try?

[Q] Install Flash player on optimus one

Can we do something about flash player on optimus one?
the only solution that I am aware is installing skyfire beta browser..
let the phone get some a bit older and the guys gonna find a solution for that i mean there is a plugin for the iphone 3g to support flash.
and the iphone 3g is much slower as the lg
but on my device also skyfire don't plays flash videos...why?
Because Lg have set not permission to use flash with this phone...

No, because the cpu of the phone does not support certain instructions required for the actual flash player.
thats not really right the cpu got enough power but adobe set it to v7 cpus only so i dosent work maybe if someone do a modification its gonna work on v6 aswell.
and like i say this phone is alot faster as the 3g iphone so probley we can get it to work.
...but skyfire don't use Flash, works well on iphone

I did not talk about the cpu power, but about instructions which do not run on the P500s cpu, but only with v7 cpus.
I just use Skyfire for flash video sites. Works great.
The Indian version of Optimus 1 P500 has the flash player installed by default!
Hi,
Searching on LG's Indian site i've found the same info.
www_lg_com/in/mobile-phones/all-phones/LG-P500.jsp
In "Features" says:
Anroid OS 2.2 (Froyo)
The new LG Optimus One comes with Android 2.2 Froyo version with advanced benefits like improved speed, USB Tethering, Android Market, installation of apps in MicroSD Card, Adobe Flash 10.1 and lots more.
I just bought this phone and, here in Brazil, it came without Flash.
*Sorry my english.

It seems that currently the only version to have the flash player is that of India. Perhaps it has a firmware update with unlocked flash player.
someone needs to track that firmware down so the devs can cook up the files.
If someone owning this indian version of the phone would install the custom recovery, make a nandroid backup and make this available this would be great.
If someone has a download link to download this version of the ROM somewhere from LG (as *.kdz) this would be even better.
I just have found this: http://www.gadgetsreview.eu/2010/10/install-flash-on-lg-optimus-one-p500.html
But it does not work on my phone. Browser just closes while loading a page (even those without flash).
Can somebody try it? (After uninstalling the browser works again without problems...)

Tested it too. Same behavior tho... Well we just need to wait some Koothrappali to bring us a nand of an indian P500 :>
member silver_ramu has an indian version.. if you see this please nand backup your rom and send it too corwin asap!!!!!!
i dont see any flash support on there site maybe they take it out ?
I am from India and have been using this cell since a week now. There is no flash support *10.1 or Lite* whatsoever. The information published on the box and website is false as I have been unable to load any flash content of any kind on any site.
Eg:- gsm arena 360 phone view, youtube desktop version, any other video sites, newsground etc.
Flash support, is dependant on the processor an LG Optimus is not compatible in the world nor in India with it. *just registered on the forum to negate this view that we are lucky 'cos we have flash 10.1 (we DONT) *

Flash lite on 2.3.3

I know its been asked loads and people say its not worth it but anyone made this work? I tried it in 2.1 and it wouldnt work for me.
I'm also interested in doing this. I have an HTC Tattoo running CM7, I can't run Flash 10.1 since my processor is Armv6. I'm looking for a way to make flashlite run, so that I have some flash support in browser.

I would also like to have flash on my phone. I think that either Adobe or someone must rewrite flash to work on armv6. Maybe we should make a petition for Adobe to make flash for our phone?
Hello,
I have some additional info about running Flash on ARMv6 devices. For the time being, our only option is to run Flash Lite 3 or Flash Lite 4. Actually Flash Lite 4 is exactly what we are looking for, since it's a stripped down version of Flash 10.1 that can run on ARMv6 devices!
Dexter's TatFroyoTatoo v0.4 ROM includes Flash Lite 4 from HTC. It's actually ported from HTC Wildfire, and works quite well in my opinion. The down side is that this ROM has Sense UI and apparently HTC Flash 4 plug-in requires it. I'm not a big fan of Sense
I'm currently trying to figure out a way to remove the dependency or include minimum missing dependencies so that I can build an AOSP or CM based ROM that includes Flash Lite 4 for HTC Tattoo/Click. I think it can be done for other devices as well.
Regards,
Tolga
Use Skyfire browser
You can try Skyfire browser it has flash support by converting flash content to HTML 5 on its server
Unfortunately Skyfire just works for videos. It can't play other flash content, so it doesn't work in my case.
I'd love to have Flash Lite 4 or Flash 10.1 too.
However, Adobe has released Flash to HTML5 tool. It works with simple banners for now. But, it just gives us a clear message. Flash is not here to stay. When HTML5 is mass adapted, Flash will have to die.
On the side note, I'd point my hands on Ideos X3.
It was launched recently(in Korea, on last 3rd if memory serves correctly).
It supposedly has a ARMv6 processor yet sport Flash 10.1 on the specs. Would be glad if anyone can rip the apk off this thing.
Recommend that it should not be installed because: not a flash 10 (Gt540 never flash 10) => useless, just a few more loads of banner ads and still not see the flash video, flash game, slower browsing! So who has read this part anywhere, best not to install
Sorry for my Eng!
The reason Id like Flash lite is that some sites use Flash for audio streaming rather than video! This is an example :
http://www.radioreference.com/
I would have thought it should be easy to do that as its minimal processing. Ive tried Skyfire and other browsers and they dont work in this case.

The problem is Flash supports mp3 codec and HTML5 audio supports ogg codec. This is why all those sites are still using Flash. It might or might not work with Flash lite. That's another issue. For music hosts, implementing HTML5 means converting the whole backend.

How to get Adobe Flash Working in Firefox with Android 4.4 KitKat

I only have to say that someone called ChaChon posted on Bugzilla the .apk a modified installer for Adobe Flash Player that WORKS -at least for me- with Firefox in Android 4.4 KitKat.
If someone wants to try you can download from here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=935676#c23
First uninstall previous flash player then install the new, reboot and try if it works for you.
Hope it helps.

Should we download from the oldest version to the newest one ? Or directly the lastest one ?
Question 2: Can we expect an OTA update or on the global version we have to do it on our own ?

Black Magic 5g has been reduced to a package that only contains 1.9GB. Video recording works now, you'll notice it's designed a bit different - some good stuff in the Tools folder hiding away that devs will use. Some factory Nubia apps that do a great job managing memory are present as well, find duplicate files, scan for viruses, etc. Accelerate is one of them, it will clear the memory. Everything else is WIPED, completely debloated and uninstalled, and replaced with a Google app. Even the Clock is from Google. If it could not be deinstalled, Package Disabler blocks the app. No Nubia bloat.remains. I only left nubia.bbs as it carries the latest releases in Chinese first - Google Translate is installed, you will be able to read it, no matter the language. If an app does not let you Translate directly, you have Google Lens which can be accessed in Google Photos. A square icon will highlight text, then you can select More or .. and choose Translate. It will generate a translated message for you from the screen shot. Lens also has this feature just pointing at text with the camera. Lit Photo picture compressor is included so you can trim down pictures you take small enough for emails; a casting app Web Video Cast works outside of China has been added to stream any video from your phone over WiFi to a TV or monitor. Tested it out on my Samsung Smart TV, and it worked great. You just select the connected device on your Wifi, download an app to that device you want to stream to, and type a website URL to stream from to your TV or PC in Web Video Cast. YouTube Vanced is also installed with MicroG so you can use your Google account and not have any ads at all, still watching your favorite items or subjects from earlier. I patched NETFLIX to display HDR10(+) with LuckyPatcher so you get better resolution than the stock Widevine L3 standard allows (the app will say SD video, but playback has been confirmed via streaming at 4K). VLC video player is included which can handle many video formats. 1Weather is a favorite app of mine and it shows live weather forecasts for the week through a widget on the home page. Also, there is a Chrome search bar with a Google Assistant icon on the right, Google Feed icon left side. Google Maps. APK Mirror is installed and the SAI Split Archive Installer app. ZipArchiver. Magisk Manager is installed with several Magisk modules, one for Migrate Backup. Swift Backup app also. Root browser. TurboEdit can edit root files. SmartPack Kernel Manager includes a flasher (TWRP flash inside OS). Device Info app is included which gives all specs. An HD screen recorder and mic recorder are included. Telegram X app. Also Google Voice, Google Keep (Notes) , & Google Calendar widget for the month. @The suit may have an NFC Voodoo fix someone please try it while I RMA my device!!!!
