ASOP browser question - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I searched and could not find a direct answer.... I am rooted with stock browser. I am updated to 4.3 and recently installed ASOP browser and flash. The browser freezes on websites with flash content and the android flash test page doesn't load... Is there any way to get flash to work with this browser?
thanks

Hi, flyers27...
I've never been able to get Adobe Flash Player working in the AOSP browser under Jellybean 4.3. There's actually a whole thread devoted to this issue here. The thread title declares the problem to be solved... it isn't. The OP mentions that by performing a full factory flash back to stock Jellybean 4.3, the problem should be resolved. Well, I did that (for reasons that have nothing to with Flash), and Flash STILL causes the AOSP browser to freeze/crash.
So, I admitted defeat, sometime back in August, and installed Firefox. For the most part, I use the AOSP browser - but if I know I need to use Flash, I use Firefox.
------------------------------------------
A workaround using Flashify...
This method is dependant on how often you access Flash content... if it's only occasionally, then it's fine and works OK. But if you need to access Flash content a lot, you'd probably be better off just using Firefox as your default browser.
Along with the AOSP Browser, install the Firefox browser.
Then install Flashify.
Set your AOSP browser as default... and use this browser on a routine basis, as normal.
On the occasion you need to access Flash content (say on a given website) in the AOSP browser tap on the menu, and select 'Share page'.... a bunch of listed apps will appear, one of which will be 'Flashify'.
Select 'Flashify', and a list of your installed browsers will appear (including Chrome)... select Firefox.
The webpage URL you're currently looking at will be 'sent' to Firefox... and any Flash content will now work.
Sounds more complicated than it actually is... and I know it's hardly an ideal or an elegant solution, but I've been using this method since mid-August, so it's habitual for me. I do it without really thinking about it.
------------------------------------------
Hope this helps... and if you ever do find a way of making Flash work in the AOSP brower, please post your solution.
Rgrds,
Ged.

I also tried many different browsers but with 4.3 - nothing.
on 4.2 Boat Browser helped me better the Opera of Firefox

[Q] why do file downloads fail?

Im coming from a nexus s running CM, and on that i was able to download any file on the net direct to the phone.
On my note, i have been trying to do the same thing, however, moments after the download starts, it fails and i get an error message saying that the type of file is not compatible with my device.
The files ive been trying to download are the plugins (such as nVidia) for chainfire 3d... It also happened yesterday when i was trying to download some custom boot animations.
This means i have to wait till i get home, download to my pc then transfer them.
is it because im on the stock rom, and future custom roms will fix this? Or is there something i can change that will sort this?
I am rooted.
Are you using the stock browser?
If so, why not try a different browser, give Opera browser a go and see if you have any more download problems.

I do like the stock browser, but its very strange why it wont let you download.
Opera looks nice, ill give it a run
Dolphin browser is another good one.

Chrome+Flash...

I've installed flash, but Flash content doesn't load in chrome...
What to do?
I have Firefox as a backup browser if certain webpages need flash. I had this flashify app installed so when using chrome and the webpage I'm currently in needed flash, I do "share,flashify and choose Firefox".
Of course you must first sideloaded the flash plugin for Firefox to work with flash content.

Chrome doesent support flash. Use flashify or a different browser like the AOSP browser

Self-signed certificates

So I've had this problem with androids for a while now. i need to install a self-signed certificate to access a website for my job. my previous phone was a Droid X and did not support self-signed certificates so someone went out and developed a browser called Sandrob where i could install the certificate to the browser and access the site. Now Sandrob was no longer developed after Gingerbread because android is now supports self-signed certs, but chrome does not. From what i have been able to find online they work on ICS but only in the stock android browser, and our phones stock android browser is chrome.
someone else withe the same issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892428
Now the certificate installs and i have installed it as a .p12 and as a .cer. i have tried Firefox, Dolphin, Opera, and Chrome with no success.
I need help please.
Found some bug reports documenting this issue on chrome

So many views and no replies. :crying:
Perhaps try Quick ICS Browser, or ICS browser+? Those two are very close to stock.
-the ultimate black dragon-
Both Quick ICS Browser and ICS Browser + require you to have the stock android browser installed. they both crash when i tried them. Thanks for trying to help.

Seems to work fine for me. Have you turned on flash in the web content setting in Dolphin?
Flash works fine with Firefox, if you want to use Dolphin , you need to also install the Jetpack and a hacked version of Flash not just the regular one from Flash Archive.
Just google 'Dolphin hack flash'
Yes I have flash turned on in dolphin. On demand, always on. Still nothing. I try to down load the dolphin flash hack and this is what I get on my phone and pc.

Do you still need it? I have it on my S4. You got that page because dropbox was getting too many hits for a "personal" cloud space.

Is it the same with your pc? Judging from the screenshot you posted and your statement that it also happens in your pc may mean that you were the one who violated Google's terms of service. Flash will work on any pc (version-specific disregarded). Maybe you should try to contact Google and let them explain to you the reason behind it.
Here is a dropbox link from DF
https://www.dropbox.com/s/48engz1qvnujzq5/KitKat.Adobe.Flash.Player.11.1-1.apk
If it still doesnt work, make sure you uninstall all flash then re-install.
Also, Dolphin website has it too.
Dolphin.com/lab/en
I think ur problem from ad block ...like adfree or adblock plus
If u use one of them stop them and restore default then delete them
Use adway app its doesn't have YouTube content issue

UC Browser's Flash Player no longer downloadable

Hi all!
I'm on a custom 4.4.4.
I've been using UC Browser exclusively as a flash player. It's not tagged as an Internet Browser in my phone, but as an emulator .
The thing is the new versions have no support for flash (at least on 4.4.4.), so I never update this app.
I've managed to download an old UC Browser version that works as decent as possible with local .swf files: UC Browser 10.10.8.820.
Along with that one I downloaded the newest available flash player version from Adobe's site - Flash Player 11.1 for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.81).
No matter how recent the flash player version I got, as soon as I opened UC Browser I was being told that my Flash Player is outdated and I was advised to get a "newer" one, for a simple tap of a button.
Of course that's dubious, but all aside, this was working great. Also, the other apps that supported flash were able to recognize and use this one.
I somehow uninstalled this flash player and nowas we speak, it' s been pulled down. The browser no longer downloads that particular exclusively working version.
Is there anyone out there that happens to have this particular UC Browser's Flash Player installed or backed up? I would be forever grateful.
Thank you!
