[GUIDE][FLASH]How to Get Flash on KitKat (Android 4.4.X) Tested with HTC One M8

METHOD TO INSTALL ADOBE FLASH 11.1.115.81 FOR ANDROID ON KITKAT
TESTED WITH ROOTED & UNLOCKED SPRINT HTC ONE M8 RUNNING 4.4.X
As most of us know, Google officially dropped support for the Android version of Adobe Flash with Jellybean and later. Jellybean (4.1.X - 4.3.X), however, still had whatever API/framework that Flash required to run, so users could install the ICS (4.0.X) version of Flash without any issues. But now with KitKat, those critical APIs/framework have been removed or changed, making Flash act super glitchy, crash, or simply not work.
There was a potential fix created back in 2013, but the download to the special Flash installer was hosted on Google Drive, and ended up being removed by Google.
THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY "HACKED", "MODIFIED", OR "PATCHED" FLASH INSTALLS.
Prerequisites:
1. An Android device running KitKat
2. An internet connection
3. The Android version of Firefox (preferably 29 or newer)
DISCLAIMER: This method has been tested on a ROOTED & UNLOCKED Sprint HTC One M8 running Android 4.4.X KitKat with HTC Software Version 1.54.654.15+.
Step 1: Ensure that any and all existing Flash components are uninstalled. You can do this by installing any version of Flash for ICS and then performing a complete uninstall on it with a tool like Titanium Backup.
Step 2: Download & install the latest version of Firefox for Android (see technical information). If you already have it, then you rock.
Step 3: Download the two Flash installation packages. Don't run them yet. It is critical that both of these be installed in a SPECIFIC ORDER. For now, just download both packages.
-> Direct Download from Adobe: PRE ICS APIS AND RUNTIME & ICS RUNTIME
-> (mirror) ZIP Archive Containing Both Files: Download from Dropbox or Download from MediaFire
Step 4: If you've downloaded the ZIP archive, extract the files to some location on your computer. Move the installers to your Android device.
Step 5: Run the installer for the install_flash_player_pre_ics.apk FIRST.
Step 6: Run the installer for the install_flash_player_ics.apk SECOND. The APK installer should prompt you to update the existing Flash player installed. If it does not declare the installation as an update, then your device did not completely register the pre-ICS installer. If this occurs, then you will most likely be unable to successfully complete the installation.
Step 7: Launch Firefox. If you're a first-time user, I suggest you get customize Firefox to your liking first, since its the only browser you can use if you're a mobile Flash enthusiast. (Yes, I know there's a possible Flash fix with the Dolphin browser, but Dolphin lacks a lot of the functionality and performance that Firefox has. Plus, I'm a big-time Firefox fan.)
Step 8: Once you're familiar with Firefox, go to the Display settings submenu (3-Dot Menu Dropdown -> Settings -> Display).
Step 9: Scroll down to the list where "Plugins" is located (under "Advanced"). Ensure that it's is set to enabled. If it's grayed out, just load a webpage and return to the display settings page.
Now you're done!
To use Flash, go to any webpage with Flash content and it will load automatically. Continue reading below for more information like why this install method works and how Flash will perform.
About the two Flash installers:
The pre-ICS installer is for Android 2.x and 3.x. As far as I know, neither of those versions of Android had the built-in APIs/framework that Flash uses when running on ICS and Jellybean - which means that the pre-ICS installer must include those APIs or an equivalent substitute. If you were to install just the pre-ICS version on your KitKat device, you could technically use Flash, but it would be highly unstable and buggy (as I have observed). Loading Flash content would result in the swf flickering black for a few seconds before Firefox crashes. It seems that the ICS installer simply adds compatibility/stability for Android 4.x.x, rather than completely replacing its pre-ICS runtime. On the other hand, if you were to just install the ICS version, Flash simply wont run. Firefox will load the content region, but it will remain white or black.
Browser tests:
I have tested this method on several web browsers:
-> Stock HTC Browser [✘]-- registers that Flash is installed (it gives an option to enable/disable it), but doesn't actually load Flash content.
-> HTC Internet [✘] (the new version that's available from the play store) -- does not acknowledge the Flash install, but will display swfs as "missing required plugin"
-> Chrome [✘] -- does not even acknowledge that Flash is installed and gives no option to enable/disable it (shows how Google doesn't want Android users running Flash)
-> Firefox [✔] -- runs Flash smoothly (more info on Firefox Flash performance specs below)
-> Dolphin [✘] -- says "Flash Player is incompatible" and gives a download link to a hacked Flash installer that *only* works with Dolphin.
I've also have tested this method on several types of content:
-> Games -- Flash games run fine, but are subject to stuttering and lag depending on how intense the graphics are. Smartphone processors are pitiful compared to desktop CPUs, and Flash for Android has no Stage3D support.
-> Video players -- Flash video players cache and play their content perfectly (tested with desktop YouTube, desktop Dailymotion, and JWplayer, among others)
-> Other things -- everything I've tested ran fine; the only swf that didn't work was extremely large and probably exceeded Flash's/Firefox's RAM allocation or made use of 11.2+ Flash APIs.
When using Firefox, the following things perform well:
-> Quality -- equivalent to Flash for your PC. As far as I can tell, Flash completely abstracts itself from the platform it runs on (PC, mac, Android, etc).
-> Speed -- the HTC One M8 has a high performing CPU and GPU, so it can handle most swfs rather well. Ultimately, though, this depends on the amount of objects being rendered per frame and how detailed they are. MSAA on bitmaps (Right-click swf -> set Quality = high) and tessellation of complex vector shapes are big FPS killers.
However, there are some issues:
-> Interactivity -- still has the double-press glitch. This is a glitch where when you tap on the swf, it registers two clicks - one for when your finger hits the screen, and one for when it leaves. This glitch came up with Jellybean, and I first noticed it on my HTC Evo 4G LTE (running Android 4.1.1). Pressing and holding for a second or two and then lifting your finger seems to sometimes work as a single click.
-> Random freezes -- every now and then, the swf will seem to visually "freeze", even though everything is still running in the background. Simply scrolling up/down fixes this issue and forces Firefox to re-present the swf. These presenting desyncs seem most common when the entire screen updates, which may indicate they are tied to the performance of your phone's CPU/GPU.
-> Invisible freezes -- sometimes if you open a new tab to a webpage that has a swf in it, the swf will start to run in the background and Firefox. Setting plugins to "Tap to Play" fixes this.
Enjoy Flash!

Sir, if I ever meet you, I'll buy you a beer. Goddamn heavy thanks

Hmmm, that's weird, ive installed firefox on gpe and my dads sense 4.4.4 and 4.4.3, installed flash player from the archive, and they both run fine witout the ics pre update, I do get the white base for a second but works fine. I will however install the pre update files and do it again anyway.

OMG - flash works
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
For two years Firefox on my Transformer Prime has crash every single time I attempted to play a flash video of any sort. I downloaded the two installers. Ran them as you described AND flash now plays with no problems in Firefox. Yay!

Works for my unrooted stock HTC M8! :good:
But when I long press, Firefox selects text instead of acting as a single press. Any way around that?

Yeah, long pressing a flash content area will make Firefox attempt to select it as text, though there doesn't seem to be any way around that right now within Firefox. There are a couple apps out there that allow you to emulate desktop mice clicks, so maybe you could use on of the those.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for this nice tutorial. I'm currently installing Flash on my HTC One M7 running Android 4.4.3 (ARHD 84.0).

QMobile Noir A9: Fully Working Android Ver. 4.2.2

QMobile Noir A9
Fully Working Android Ver. 4.2.2
for QMobile Noir A9, Fly IQ Trend, Myphone A888, Wiko Cink Peax and Intex Aqua Wonder
Good news for those who still have A9 and other mentioned phones in the heading that a much better JB 4.2.2 is available online for download.
This ROM is finalized by a few faces from Forum.Frandroid.com for Wiko Cink Peax (French version) and is not my work at all except that I had to tweak it so that everything works smoothly as in JB 4.1. I had to patch it because when I installed the ROM, it was very laggy and did not allow me to work without frustration. Moreover, I am using A9 hence, build.prop was to be arranged for such requirements too.
You will be installing this ROM at your own risk. I and the developers making it possible will not be held responsible if anything goes wrong. By the way, it is so simple to follow the process so don't worry.
Don't try it on other devices than mentioned above.
Special Thanks to;
1. Qus1, Pratikmore and Kimo06
2. My|Phone for releasing JB 4.2.2 for Amoi N820
3. Google for such a great OS
5. noobpremium for Universal MTK performance package
6. Ryuinferno for Universal init.d Support and other developers whose work is inside this ROM
How to install:
1. Do a full backup of your current ROM before proceeding (this is a precautionary move in case you don’t like the ROM, you can switch back)
2. I will recommend using TWRP Recovery in order to get a full backup including boot, data, system and android secure
3. Now reboot the mobile and manually delete all the hidden folders starting with dot (.) both from internal memory and external memory
4. Rename the folder “Android” to “Android.b” in order to get back your data files of games after installation
5. Restart in TWRP and wipe dalvic cache, cache, data, android secure and system
6. Now install jb2v2-8.zip
7. Later install A9Patch.zip. Other mobile users should not install the zip.
8. Wipe Cache and Dalvic Cache and restart the phone which will take a few minutes to ready the new ROM
9. Fill the information required for starting up the phone
10. Press Menu and start Universal init.d app, allow it root permission and then press Activate , later press Verify to check if init.d is supported.
12. Open Terminal Emulator in ROM Toolbox app and write "su". Give the root permission. Now the icon in emulator will change from "$" to "#". Now write "mtkod" and press enter. Processing will be done and later phone will restart itself.
11. Now all the work is done. You are ready to enjoy the Awesomeness of Jelly Bean 4.2.2
Pros:
1. Lots of Free RAM
2. New Snap Camera app with its Gallery (Stock Gallery is removed due to lack of customization and for auto-focus bug in Video capture)
3. Can fully utilize the Xposed Installer, GravityBox and other exposed apps for theming and animating etc.
4. Tethering, Hotspot, Bluetooth, WIFI and GPS working :good:
5. Better performance and color reproduction due to optimizations in build.prop and MTK performance package
6. Init.d is supported and few scripts are given in the added zips
BUGS:
1. Pinkish Camera result when capturing in low light
2. Slight lag during installing and uninstalling apps. Usage of battery doctor is essential for task killing and battery optimization
3. Others you tell me
DOWNLOAD LINK of the ROM
DOWNLOAD A9Patch.zip
Download Universal MTK performance package by noobpremium
P.S. Don’t PM me if there is any query. Just post your question on this page.
