I have tried the latest Flash apk for my device but it flickers. I'm using Firefox beta Explorer. Any suggestions or fixes for this issue?
I require flash content for certain websites so hopefully I can sort out this problem.
Thanks in advance fellow xda developer users.
I downloaded this http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk
And then just installed it, works fine on Dolphin, FireFox, Chrome.

Strange. Tried the one you suggested and I'm still getting black and flickering flash content.
Thanks for your suggestion though.

I use that ICS flash player combined with firefox beta, and it works a treat. some intensive sites take a while to load, but it works.
What ROM are you using? Its highly unlikey that you are running it.. , however Android 4.4 doesn't work with flash (has been reported)

I did not try Dolphin, only Firefox. Could it be a problem with Firefox Beta?

I'm using the stock rom from Sony, not a custom rom. I'm still on Android 4.2.2.
Update. Just tried Dolphin browser and flash images don't even appear at all. They are blank/white.

maybe that one works.
I have no problems with flash, works good for me.
Try UCBrowser from google play. I have it for tablet HD it plays flash and it looks good try it
did you try opening the browser as desktop version instead of mobile? some stuff doesn't work for me but when I open it in desktop, it works. *shrugs*

Just like the title says, but everytime I load a flash site, it crashes and goes right to my home screen. Can someone else try it out to verify its not just me??
Confirmed, same here.

Agreed, ics browser does work great, I guess I just got used to opera on cm7 and was looking forward to trying it again. I've noticed on some sites that opera does a better job of formatting the page. Guess I'll have wait til opera comes with another fix......

That's why I have Dolphin, Opera and ics browser + installed. I find that each one does something best.
What version are you on, they just put out an update to version 12 and one of the fixes in the changelog is "Added Flash support on Android 4.0.3", or are you already talking about version 12?
Yes, already talking about V12.
But it seems not to be a Touchpad specific issue. I just tested on my HTC Desire and had the same behavior there. When activating the Flash video, Opera immediately crashes.

Tried it and was able to see a flash applet but then it crashed.

Same here.. Back to 11.5.3... Even though flash does not work, it is way faster than 12 (or any other browser I've used).
The new Dolphin HD is a lot faster than the stock browser and closer to Opera Mobile 11.5.3, but Flash won't go full screen for me (it just shows a white screen) but otherwise Flash seems to work.
That's weird. I've been using Opera on my Touchpad (CM7 & CM9), my old Droid Incredible (Froyo & GB), my Transformer (HC & ICS), and my fiance's Triumph. Never had a single issue with flash.

Really??!?! Are you using a modified version of flash??? Can you post a screenshot of it running YouTube?

I stand corrected. I hadn't tried it since I last flashed. Works fine on both my Transformer and Rezound (both on ICS). Touchpad resulted in instant closure of the browser. Odd. It's clearly not an ICS issue, it must be either a CM9 issue or a Touchpad driver issue.
Out of curiosity, what ROM/Kernel is everyone running? This was on CherryKang with Bricked Kernel (not the new version, my Frankenstein version lol)

That's the mobile YouTube site on opera in the first screenshot, and the youtube app on the other 2 screenshots. The mobile version doesn't use the adobe flash plugin, which appears t be the issue. Can you change your UA agent in opera settings to desktop and see if the desktop version of YouTube works? I'm sure it'll crash like the rest of us.....
Hi guys, I'm running Android 4.0.3 (westcrip's Resurrection ROM) and I'm having a bit of a problem with Flash videos.
I've installed Flash 11 and Flash actually works fine, except for when I go into a browser with the user agent set to Desktop. When I've got the user agent set to desktop all that appears instead of a video is a little brick with a question mark in it.
I prefer to use a desktop user agent because you can access more stuff on websites like YouTube, but now I can't.
Is this normal on ICS ROM's or have I made a mistake somewhere along the line? As it was completely fine when I was running 2.3.6.
Thanks.

I would suggest trying other browsers (Stock, Opera Mobile etc.)
It could just be a dolphin HD issue

I've tried other browsers, the only one I could find that let you change the user agent was xScope and that ran into the same problem.
All browsers i have tried allow changing user agent and they all work with flash for me on lpq.

Flash works when the user agent is set to desktop then?
Will reflash the ROM I'm using if that's the case and see if I have any luck.
Maybe first clear flash and browser pap data in apps.

I just wanted to confirm this. I was told that flash doesn't work on JB and that adobe did not plan to have a working version? Is this correct? I have been wanting to try one of the jb roms from our great developers but I need flash. I use dolphin to stream video from amazon and it requires you to have flash to do this.

Flash works on the JB Roms I've tried. The market won't let you download it, so you'll have to install manually.
Adobe will no longer support flash for new versions of Android. Most websites are offering alternatives anyway, welcome to HTML5

What version of dolphin should we use? I have 8.7 and 8.6.1
Adobe Flash 11.X works fine the stock browser for me. Especially on my tablets.
Just wish it would work on Chrome :/

If you have it installed already uninstall, find apk online and reinstall than reboot that worked for me.

For me version 8.6x and 8.7 won't let you enable flash. Version 7.6 crashes when you enable flash.
Which app do you use for flash? Is there one better than another? Thanks

Video tutorial there as well. You don't need to use the older version of Dolphin if you don't want to as Boat Browser (which is a lil faster than Dolphin) also works just fine with Flash.

There are some places that I can't watch a (flash) video using boat ...only stock.
Chrome as main browser and std stock Internet Browser when I need to watch Flash vids or stream football game, works solid esp since both can be used on multi window feature (you need to get the re-created Chrome from this thread)

Man I've installed every dang version of flash I could find...still nothing...maybe its the Perseus kernel.?
I see people talking about manually starting the applet? What's that all about?
It looks like flash player ceases to work with Firefox and Dolphin which were my goto browsers until this point. Doing other searches it looks like other people were already saying it kills it officially in 4.4.
The good news is that it appears that UC Browser appears to download a plugin for Flash Player and actually does appear to work just fine. There is an app called Photon Flash Player which does appear to work somewhat but I got rid of it just to be on the safe side and will use UC Browser going forward.
I thought that you could sideload Adobe Flash Player to regain that function.

Some critical APIs have been removed from Android 4.4 that flash uses.
A great tutorial on installing flash in KitKat.
Well... That's good to know.
What a shame. I wonder how this will effect my porn browsing after I update. =\

That's funny. My eyes glazed right over the link you posted. I'll give it a try later.
Seems that modified flash apk is gone. Google removed it.
What do they have against Flash?
