Adobe Flash embedded videos not working on 4.0.4 - Fix using Nexus Files ? - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hi everyone,
as everyone knows Adobe is dropping support for Flash on Android.
Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) will NOT support Flash.
BUT Adobe is still supporting Flash for Android up to 4.0.X.
So far in theory. BUT embedded Flash Videos don't work with our Razr and every ICS Version (Leaked or not).
While Flash Menues work fine embedded Videos don't.
Test it for yourself on this sites (to prevent comments like: uhm, but its working for me):
southparkstudios.com / southpark.de --> Episodes
divshare.com
ESPN.com
ect.
Everything flash-based worked with GB 2.3.6.
Everything works on other Devices with 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 (At least the ones i know, like Galaxy SII SIII, Nexus, Odys Tablets ect.).
So it has to be some Moto/Razr bug. Especially since the Nexus shares the same CPU/GPU as the Motorola and their flash works perfect (tested myself with 4.0.4).
So i think its some hardware accelleration thinggy. Maybe someone could fix this or help me/us by sending mails & bugreports to Moto and to Adobe.
Thanks.

Just installed JB on my xoom. Flash works fine. And no I did not go to a F'in site that is backed up by html5. I know everyone is crying about espn.com. yea its weird it doesn't work on the razr. But I can assure you it works on my tab

---

same here.
it wont work on Chrome, but it's very very flakey on Firefox. and barely works in default browser.
yes, I have Flash installed.
update: and by flakey, i mean ur right. menu works. but videos doesn't. just tested on watch.ctv.ca and espn.com. (the ads works though...)
update: for ESPN.com, in Chrome, clicking on the video link of the mobile version of the site will redirect it to my MX Player, which then works fine...
update: yeah ive googled it. its a known issue. flash videos doesnt work with ICS, no matter what u do. and according to adobe, they only support RAZR up to 2.3 - http://www.adobe.com/devnet-apps/flashruntimes/certified-devices.html

After downloading the update, I had to re-install Flash. Have you tried this?

What sites are you trying? The 2 sites that I was most concerned about missing now work after having done this method. May not work for every site so its impossible to be dogmatic about it at this point.

Not sure about you guys but flash is still working fine for me even on jelly bean. you have to install the apk manually and then use a browser such as dolphin to view flash content. Screenshot taken with my nexus 7 and the same animation plays if i use my RAZR as well.
