Yes i can confirm i installed flash 11.1 apk and its working perfectly.

flash works fine in the stock browser, you just need to side load a flash APK. Anything 11.1 or higher will work fine. Enjoy your porn :silly:.

It works well with boat browser and boat lets you set the user agent to desktop

Where did you find the Flash .apk?

So, even though it's JB the stock browser works with Flash? That's a big plus since I'm not yet ready to give up in-browser Flash videos. Now, it just needs root, SixAxis and Wireless Tether and I'll be content.

All Adobe said was that Flash for Android would be discontinued and wouldn't be officially supported by them after ICS. That doesn't mean it won't continue to work on some devices running 4.1 on up, just that there's no promise of working. I think Flash is still working with most Jelly Bean devices.

Thank you for the link! Yay for flash!

Not working for me...I've tried installing a few of the 11.1 for Android 4.0 and still can't play my beloved CNN videos:angel: Any suggestions?

Same here. I doesn't work properly on some youtube videos. Some videos show scrambled lines but no pictures, some others just won't play. I installed the same JB version of Flash that I've been using on my SG3 (worked perfectly on all dozens of custom ROMs that I had flashed) and on my ATT Note (also on dozens of ROMs from AOSP, AOKP, to CM10 etc...) But no go on this Verizon Note II. I had to uninstall it. I only use Stock Browser BTW

Good idea! Apparently it is working according to the test pages. Maybe its just certain sites use a different player not suited for mobile...ill download dolphin beta and see if it works. Ive been out of the loop for a bit...why has adobe stopped supporting android? That was a major advantage of android in the early days.

Web site is probably borked and not handling browser user agent ID correctly. For example, videos on main page Yahoo don't work but Yahoo Movies do. Other tech news sites work too.

CNN videos work fine for me in Boat Browser. Been using that browser exclusively for about 6-months now and is about the best and fastest browser for Android with Dolphin coming in a close second.
You can get all of the Flash versions, and the latest (old) version of Dolphin that supported Flash from this link here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336
I'm using the latest version of Flash (11.1.115.27) and the latest version of Boat Browser.

Just letting you guys know...CNN is a strange website in that
If you ever enter CNN without the Desktop Mode enabled and try to watch a video, then they drop a cookie in your browser, so when you come back to the website with Desktop mode, flash videos will not work. So the solution is to clear your cache.

I am having the best luck with Beta Firefox, addon: Desktop by Default (makes sites think your phone is a normal computer so no mobile bull****) and Adblock Plus (gets rid of most annoying popups etc)
Also found that when you go full screen on flash videos, you should turn the phone to the correct side of landscape so the video doesn't have to flip 180 or 90 degrees and there be a chance for it to freeze; sounds odd but a really buggy old flash page kept freezing when I went full screen the wrong way but loaded normally when I used the correct method.
Coming from the GNex, seems like Samsung's software is a little less forgiving then Google's unfortunately so steps like this seem necessary for the moment.

I just tried Firefox Beta again. Still blows. There's no full-screen, no homepage, no way to keep "request desktop" permanent, no way to access tabs in the full-screen add-on without turning full-screen add-on off, accessing tabs, then turning full-screen add-on back on again.
Desktop by Default seemed buggy and not always on.
Although Firefox was blazing fast, they've got a long way to go options-wise before they can compete with other mobile browsers.

Flash on the Wildfire!

Okay, since we all know that FP doesn't support ARM v6, so that why we can't have flash on our phone.
But!
I was browsing the Android Apps and Games forum when I found this thread:

Edit: Nvm
Hm..actualy..no!
Lemme try the Kongregate app.
I think that flash wont appear because it isn't ARMv6 modified.
And if you try to install it it'll give an error (I tried that before).
Yeah I don't think this works.. Hopefully someone can make it work though..
It works
I can play miniclip games[but they are very laggy]
Using dolphin hd and jokerdorid 4.2
On adobe test page it says adobe flash 10.1.something
Well that might lead me to believe it doesn't work on CM7 (and CM7 based roms).

I'm using it now,no flash support yet, it seems fast but when i scroll down fast there is a lot of unloaded stuff or takes a sec to show. It doesn't seem as fast as stock at least to me so far well see as i play with it more. It does sync with your desktop.
I don't think it's gonna get Flash either, adobe's not developing it for mobile browsers anymore. Don't know if a 3rd party dev can do anything about that though.

But the implementation of Flash would be Google's doing. Not Adobe's.
Right, Adobe's done updating. But mobile flash is already here. It's all about the browser taking Flash into account, as opposed to Flash supporting a browser isn't it?

Check the requirements.
Do you have ICS?
Adobe already made an official statement and said Flash will not be in Android Chrome browser. Link to info is in the other thread on chrome browser.
Still needs a lot of work. At the moment it is slower than other browsers, doesn't allow you to change user agent and like mentioned, no flash. I was hoping they would have had addon support from the beginning too.

It absolutely makes no sense why non-US Prime's cannot get access to Chrome Beta. No sense whatsoever. Android 4.0 has adoption rate of 1% on the market anyway, out of this only fraction would try out Chrome Beta.
I would love to have Chrome downloaded from Market so it could get future updates without having to chase down APK's each time.
This is frustrating. But hey, at least we now have Chrome on Android.

[Q] First row sports

when I had my OG Droid Inc (CM7 rom) rooted i was able to go on firstrowsports(.)com with now problems (other than slow as hell 3G). now that im on a stock GS3 (verizon) the most i can get is the sound. is there something wrong with the GS3 flash, or does it need to be rooted to help out my situation
I'm guessing you don't have a good connection. I use to have that problem once in a while with my S2, haven't tried it with the S3 yet.

Make sure you have the latest Flash Player installed. Another good alternative, is Skyfire Web Browser. Although it requires a license purchase ($1.99) to be able to watch video/movies using the browser. It does give you 3 days trial.

What did you do to get Flash Player working on OTA ICS? NO FLAMES PLEASE

Flash,are numerous threads on Flash and ICS. but... people on the Rezound say their Flash is working after the OTA ICS update. So...how did you get it to workk? I have tried a few different browsers, uninstalled Flash and reinstalled. I downloaded and installes the Flash from the Modaco Flash downloader..restarted phone..and still, every flash video is a blank black screen that has a tiny cube with a [ ? ] in it.. when I click the Flash settings, It loads up a blank page with that [ ? ] in it... Whats the secretk?
And please no trolling comments...

Adobe carries the android flash player on it's website. There is no reason to go to a seperate site. Also, if you go to the playstore,look into your account, and look in your apps, it is usually there as well. If it is already installed on the phone. No flames here...

Thats the thing, I didnt see the thread. I searched for about 2 hours both on google and through XDA specifically for Flash Player not working after ICS update. I added Rezound because some phones just cant get it to work in ICS, like the Droid Razr Maxx. So its a wonder I missed that. Yes I poked through a lot of threads on xda that came up in search, but that one didnt. Its not like I didnt search.
Thanks for the reply JeramyEggs. Appreciated

I know you are a respected member and a dev possibly and I just noticed you have been helping people out a lot. I'm sure you just got annoyed because you see it from other people often.

I'm not going to get into rules, but I dont believe I was breaking any. I did operate as a moderator at 2 different smartphone forums for a few years so I know how it works.

How I Got Flash Working On My Nexus 10 Browsers

I have Flash working on my Nexus 10 using the latest versions of the Dolphin browser and the Skyfire browser downloaded from the Play Store and I am able to watch video clips on the BBC Web site and the TVCatchup Web site without needing to root the Nexus 10 or use a seperate iPlayer application.
I have the Dolphin browser Agent set to "Desktop" and in the Web Content setting I have the Flash Player set to "Always on".
I have the Skyfire browser set to "Load Pages As:" Desktop and "Enable Plug-ins" Always On.
I attach a copy of the Flash apk that I use and which needs to be "side-loaded" to the "Download" folder in the "My Files" folder then install using a file manager such as Astro by clicking it.
I've not been able to get Flash working on the Chrome browser or the Opera Mobile browser this way and l could not play the BBC clips using the Boat browser but I could watch TVCatchup.
I hope this way of getting Flash on the Nexus 10 browsers works for you too and if so then please show your gratitude by using the thanks button.

Thanks for the info. I'm using dolphin also... Quick question, can you pleas elaborate on the step above? I've never rooted or used Astro before, so I'm a little green. I know this doesn't require root, but you see where I'm coming from... I think the side loading step is basically downloading the file to the N10, but the Astro part is not as clear. Also, if you go to ESPN.com using Dolphin, can you play those videos?

Download Astro from the Play Store and when you runi it then it will show you the folders on the Nexus 10 and you will find the Download folder iwhere the Flash player is saved in the My Files folder under Folders.

Do you think this might be possible with the regular Android browser that other devices have?

Yes same here with Maxthon and the Stock Android Browser. With the exception (so far) of ESPN. I'm getting sound but no video with both browsers.
I've got flash working on Dolphin. The flash player setting is set to "on demand", and I can't change it. I get the "flash is disabled because its no longer supported." message, but the setting stays at "on demand".
"On demand" was the setting I used on my previous tablet, and when I switched to the N10, I backed up my old Dolphin settings with Titanium Backup and restored them on the N10, so that's probably how the setting got stuck that way.
So it looks like the answer for using flash on Dolphin is to use Titanium Backup and a backup file from a pre-Jellybean device. Of course you need to be rooted for that.
Just get the older version of Dolphin from here and everything will work lawlessly:

OK so I got my flash working without root access ' what I did was side load flash ' then used boat browser and set the flash to always and user agent to desktop. But I will say it runs so bad guys , its very slow and I assume it has to do with the screen res and how much it has to download at the same time, using it also drained my battery heavily and made the back end really hot lol wait for a html5 to catch up lol that's what I say.
Price to pay for cutting edge

Works wit Firefox too
I just got this to work with Firefox. I had to remove and reinstall FF after side loading flash. Dolphin had to be done the same way, and in no way did any of this work for me until after I updated to 4.2.1. I updated dolphin to the latest version once I got it to work and the darn update turned flash off... So I got rid a dolphin and kept Firefox because ff is @ the latest version.
