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!

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.

if you read my last threads you will know i mashed my other note to pieces....
on my desire i would flash roms 3 each week without messing the phone up, so after messing up my note through formatting through cwm while on ics i am a little/lot scared about doing it again..
so i want a little help if you guys would be so kind :laugh:
i dont have the new phone with me right now, but this time i am going to learn how NOT to brake the phone before i start playing with it.
so could you please walk me through this, explain to me as you would explain to a child LOL
so as i understand it, i need to keep to gingerbread then root it, go into recovery and flash the rom from there? do i use the normal phone recovery to do this or do i have to install cwm?
i am a little worried about using cwm again tbh, or can i use mobile odin?
i want to know the easiest way, the most fool proof....
damn i was never this worried with my desire.
your probably thinking "if you are so scared then why bother" right? its just the phone is so damn laggy, even compared to my desire which was built by cave men
cheers for the help guys, asuming i get some ofcourse :fingers-crossed:
Start from a gingerbread rom, then fully root it and install clockworkmod, next boot into recovery(volume up+power+home button together). First flash paranoid android rom then flash gapps, lastly wipe data, cache partition and dalvik cache. Reboot and enjoy

Yes, you can flash from one of the supposedly known safe ics kernels to speed the process up BUT if you want to be 100% safe in flashing to any cm9, start with a gingerbread rom.

Cool thanks, I will just do that when the time comes then, for some reason this phone is no where near as laggy as the last one, and I have all my apps I had on the other device plus more....

So is it still okay to root through cwm and then use mobile odin? Are there any decent roms out yet that have decent s pen usage?

I also just received my note from samsung after bricking it with CWM. I am so afraid I might brick it again trying to install paranoid android since I have to wait nearly a month to have my phone back in case anything happen.
Just one question, as long as I'm on paranoid android, can I just format or factory reset my phone through settings or recovery or cwm safely? Thanks a lot.

If you want to install paranoid, its cm based which means no touchwizz apps will work on it as they need the touchwizz framework. That being said, s pen still works fine and there are plenty of alternatives to the s apps (papyrus, memo etc). Also I've read that one of the devs is working on getting the s apps onto cm9 somehow, but not sure who or how its going. Also the cm9 kernel included for the rom is safe from the superbrick bug as its has the cap wlerase command disabled.
PA has a slightly different installation to other roms. I would highly recommend first installing stock rootable gb, root it and install cwm. Once that's in place perform factory reset.
Then download paranoid and g apps and copy them to external SD card.
Then FROM CWM recovery, you flash pa first by "installing zip from SD card", then do the same for g apps straight afterwards.
If you have any fc's or issues, enter back into cwm recovery and wipe cache and dalvik.
Boom, ready to go for full on paranoia
Its a truly great rom, very customisable and as ics should be.

Thanks ST, so am I right in thinking if I go the cm route then I don't have to flash the kernel first. It will do it for me? So all I need to do is root it and get a safe kernel?
Is there a free mobile Odin app, I looked on the market but there is only the pro version...

The safe kernel is included in the pa rom, cm9 kernel. So long as you flash it from cwm in gb you're fine it installs it automatically.
Think mobile Odin is only a paid for app... well worth it though. Check the forum, chainfire usually releases free versions to xda community.

If you asked me. I like the stock firmware not cm9 paranoid. Because you will lose your S-Memo, S-Note and S-Planner and also your myfiles and also the MHL. All of this features are important for me. Paranoid is cool firmware but you will loose this apps...

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?

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.
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.
