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

Just download the flash apk and use the stock browser

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.

Android on HD2 supports flash.

Flash works no problem; it just drains battery faster than it already does for me.
Alvin,
The HD2 definitely supports Flash. I am currently running the new Flash 10.2 that is currently out in the wild. I found you need to use the correct browser in order to see Flash videos. I found using the stock browser and not Opera Mini works. Your build should be able to support Flash 10.1 until the official 10.2 update from the Market arrives on the 18th of this month. I would suggest trying different browsers and go to Vimeo.com to check.
Thanks. But currently I'm using the stock nexus s browser. I will try to use other browser. Thank for the response.

Are you sure you've downloaded flash from the Market? Could be something as silky as that as to ehy it's not working.
It's not built into the native browser; you have to install flash from the market.
Downloaded the flash 10.2 indeed working silky smooth.

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?

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

I jumped on board when the unofficial JB leak hit the web. I immediately noticed that I lost my precious Abobe Flash Player. I decided to flash the stock ICS back onto my XT907. I rerooted and I have been happy since I did this a month ago. I then noticed my phone updating to the Official JB OTA update yesterday. I'm like okay...cool. When I booted back up I noticed that I lost root. I again flashed back to ICS via RSD and rerooted, I checked the web and found the Voodoo app which will save root apparently, I downloaded it and saved root. I also installed the safestrap method and saved a backup. I then went to Settings> About Phone and did a manual check for updates, surprisingly enough it said there is no need to update despite being on ICS. I just downloaded the Official JB OTA Update and saved to my external sd card but I am undecided whether or not I want to go down this road again based on the previous statement losing Adobe. Would I be better off keeping ICS? From what I've read JB doesn't support Adobe at all right?
That is correct. Jb doesn't support flash.

Its settled then, thank you. Its odd that the VZW network doesn't detect my phone running ICS.

That is strange I updated my Razr to JB this morning and Adobe lash Player 11 is still on my phone.
Why is having flash that important to you? I would think that they would make the browser capable even without it.

Same here. If you side load a version of Flash from the Adobe web site, the update should leave it alone. Then you can use a browser that still supports it, Chrome does not.

Well when I flashed the leak Adobe flash player would not work, and there aren't any browsers out there that will even allow flash player to be supported in their browsers on JB. In fact when I went into the browsers settings on my dolphin browser, it wouldn't even let me enable flash. The option was there, but it was grayed out and unchangeable.

That's strange. Can't tell you exactly how mine got in the state it's in but Flash works fine in Firefox and, for the most part, Naked Browser.
I know I downloaded Flash from the Adobe Web site when I first got my phone.

Factory Reset?
Does anyone know we should do a factory reset after updating to Jelly Bean via OTA? When I had the original Droid RAZR, this helped tremendously, but I'm not sure if it's necessary with the RAZR M. I really don't enjoy doing factory resets (have to reinstall all the apps!)
Thanks!
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.
As shocking it might sound it is true, i have accidently discovered it yesterday. It is a bit wonky, i had few issues playing some videos on full screen but generally it works just as on 4.0+.
You dont need hacked flash player.
1. Download and install latest Firefox: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox&hl=en
2. Download latest official Flash Player .apk and install it: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk
3. Go to Firefox Settings/Customize/Display/Plugins and choose enabled.
4. Start Flash Player and choose Firefox as default browser
4. Enjoy Flash content on Android 5.0
You need Firefox, it didn't worked for me on Chrome and Dolphin. :good:

Why would Google enable Flash (indirectly/directly) when it is discontinued and html5 is in place?

The question is: why google should block it? It's a normal program like others..
If you want it you install it, otherwise peace.
Besides, some content providers just use flash for videos.. regardless of the existence of html5
One possible reason could be stoppage of support for security updates in Android devices from Adobe.
Agreed flash just another app but popular apps are always targeted.

Hackers can use flash to initiate attacks on your device. Nuff said.
