Flash in stock browser? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Anu chance of getting flash videos to play in stock browser??.
I know ANDROID 4+ doesn't support flash and I know I'll have to download and install adobe flash player from the web(which I already did) it still doesn't play.
Btw, I also own HTC One and it plays flash in stock player out of the box so was wondering what's different

I don't think so. I've only managed to get it working in Firefox so far.

Found this in another forum post:
"Flash won't work with the built-in Webkit browser. After side-loading, no Flash love and there's no option to enable Flash in browser settings (unusual since the standard Webkit browser usually works with Flash Player and has that option)."
I've also read in other threads that Jelly Bean on the S4 does not have flash support at all for the stock browser. It also doesn't have a permanent desktop mode, open new tabs in background and a plethora of other features they left out. The S3 stock browser was far superior, not sure why they decided to remove all the features that are actually useful on the S4.

The stock browser as well as Google's Chrome browser no longer support Flash as Adobe released a statement in late 2011 that they will no longer be providing any support to the mobile platform. This means no stability updates as well as no security updates. However, Firefox for android still supports Flash playback and I've found that most Flash content is supported. Full screen is hit or miss but otherwise you should find solace there.

There's a tutorial on how to get it working in one of the sections Here, you need root but it works.

There are several threads that discuss getting flash to work on a different browser but I have yet to see anything remotely resembling a possibility of flash working in the stock browser. Unless you can provide a link to this so called tutorial, I believe you may have mistaken it for one of these:

Flash 10.1 on eris?

I am kind of a noob so please forgive me if this post is in the wrong place, or if there is another post that addresses this.
Are there any roms working for the eris that have a working version of flash 10.1? I would love to be able to watch hulu on my phone.
Not yet that I'm aware.
Your only chance is in a froyo rom, if your running one and it doesn't have it then no.
I believe part of the problem is the flash libraries are written for processors that are newer than the Eris, so until a dev rewrites the libraries to work with a lower processor, which would be difficult, I don't see it happening.
Could be wrong though
BTW just for reference this post should be in the general section

I have heard that because the stock eris rom can run flash lite, it is possible for it to run full flash it is just a matter of fixing the code. xtrSENSE supposedly has working flash 10 as an added flash-able zip file, but it doesn't work. Anyway, I hope someone gets this figured out because it would be awesome. Thanks.

Flash 10.1 works on 2.1. It's just a matter of it being able to load in time before server determines it fails..( hence the reason why hulu/fancast dont work)
Look for my posts in the link above, you should be able to get it to work.
There are two releases for the flash 10.1. One for phones running on 2.1 and ones running 2.2. I have the KaosFroyo v39 on my droid eris and tried the flash plugin for 2.2 but it wouldn't install. I downloaded the flash plugin for 2.1 and it installed. I heard the 10.1 plugin for the 2.2 works on the newer droid phones that received the original froyo updates. i can't verify cause i don't own one.
Since I'm new and cannot put links in my post yet, you are going to have to Google them.
Sorry!
Skyfire Browser
I have found that the Skyfire browser app from the market can play flash. If you are using a 2.2 ROM then I suggest installing this app. On a side note I have read the HULU is note making videos available for mobile browsers. Correct me if I am wrong.
you don't read the posts do you? : p
Skyfire will work with 2.1 & 2.2 w/o any problems.
Yes, Hulu blocks mobile devices.
and yes, our ARM v6 process sucks my ****, but we're still here cuz we love our phones.

at least until the iOS4 is a viable option later this month...
The flash "10.1" is set up.for sense roms. You can install on sense 2.1&2.2. The apk is set up ONLY for sense through.

It'll install but crash your browser. Its not going to work because the developers of flash 10.1 for mobile devices never wrote an "instruction set" for our type of processors, ARM v6.

[DISCUSSION] - CM9 discussion thread

As I posted in the dev thread let's bring the chit chat into the general forum and keep the dev thread on topic and clear for people to help the devs move this rom forward.
So this thread is for all the GENERAL CM9 discussion.

Despite this, people will still go to the development thread to ask questions, request features, banal talks... etc.
Maybe use this thread to summarise FAQ's found in the other thread (and subsequently this thread)
Edit the first post to stay on top of things?
In summary, no exfat on CM9, use ext4 format if you must have files over 4Gb (that's all I know so far, I don't have CM9 installed yet)
*subbed*
Get xplod to put a link to this thread in the development OP? A link to that thread from here wouldnt hurt either
is there a way to block calls in cm9? (without having to install an apk from the market)
I don't have phone yet; however, was wondering if on cm9, do you still have the same camera function as with touchwiz, like fast burst, best shot, taking pic while recording? I don't really care about losing s voice.

I don't think that's what he was looking for. And I'm not sure if you can just apply the crt animations from CM9 to stock ROM.

If it's like on linux i guess you need to install an mtp library to get it working (i.e. mtpfs).

Android File Transfer worked fine on stock using PTP and works great with my friends Gnex. Googled mtpfs for OS X but nobody seems to have had any success.

Would Android beam on CM9 work with S-beam? Ie someone on stock samsung rom uses s-beam to communicate with me on android bean, no issues?
Could we use NTFS on the 64Gb SD card on the GSIII using CM9?
If not.. could I somehow parition the microSD card into x2 32Gb partitions, one ext4 the other ExFAT that way I can run with this until one of the other prevails? I only like copying data once....

Many web sites offer a download of the Flash apk file. Just download it and install. Note that not all browsers support flash. Some that do include Dolphin,Boat,Ocean to name a few.

I have Dolphin HD installed and couldn't get Flash to run. Is there something that needs to be done? Went into settings and I keep getting the flash disabled due to incompatibility message. This is on a stock N10, no root or unlock.

In my own limited, unscientific experience, Tint browser works best with flash on Nexus 10. Get it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tint&hl=en
Dude ocean browser ftw!!!! Now wield great on the nexus
Try the Boat browser which supports flash, password manager, speed dialer and full screen mode.

Since you are using 0.609, look in .609 thread about video problems that need to be resolved, most likey the above method was for the earlier version, so test on 6.07 if it works for you.

I have tried many browsers that say they support Flash, but none work so far. I'll give puffin a go.
Dolphin and puffin are the only ones,puffin does it straight on install, dolphin has to be setup to use flash
You just go to adobe's website and you have to search but the last flash player for android is 11.1. They have it there I'm their archives. It works great in all my browsers. Even with the messages site put up to upgrade flash player, the content still works.
I have tried for several months to get flash working on my 10.1. Amazon Prime Instant to be specific. I have not yet been successful. I have tried every browser and several versions of flash. If anyone has been able to watch AP on their 10. 1, please report back on how you did it. Stock, boat, dolphin, puffin, skyfire, flash fox browsers do not work! (yes, I go into the settings and set it to desktop mode and enable the flash).

I apologize my comment came across as rude. Not intended to be so. I am able to play some flash files on my tablet (which is a Tab 3 10.1) but not able to get Amazon Prime videos to work.
What happens when you try to play a video?

Forgive me, I spoke in haste. I offer no excuses, I have wronged you and I offer my sincerest apologies.
I would like to try and continue to work out the flash issue if you are willing.

okay so after some reading, the general feel on this is amazon is intentionally breaking the service to non-amazon devices,
there might be something in this http://www.teleread.com/android/watching-amazon-instant-video-on-android-kitkat-devices/ This article was published on Jan 2 2014
Thanks for kind offers of help. First let me say that my husband has a Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 and I have flash working on this tablet for him, so I know how it works to set it up. He watches Amazon Prime videos on this tablet. In my searching I came across the comment that because of the processor of the Tab 3 10.1, streaming video from Amazon will never work (I looked at so many sites and can't remember where it was).
I am using the flash apk provided by moonbutt74.
Here are the different browsers I used and the results - I went into every browser and made sure to set it to desktop mode and enabled flash.
Boat Browser: got a prompt to install Adobe Flash (yes, flash is installed!)
Stock Browser: got a prompt to watch the video on compatible devices, such as Kindle Fire
Firefox Browser: another prompt for compatible devices
Dolphin Browser: compatible device prompt
Puffin Browser came the closest. After selecting the video, the video would load, then the screen would go dark. No video. (This is the paid version of Puffin).
Photon Browser gave the same results as Puffin.
After trying all this, I went into recovery and cleared cache and dalvik. Tried again. Same results. So I am pretty much resigned to no Amazon Prime on this tablet.
