unable to play flash content using firefox or opera or skyfire

Rooted xoom, with T1.41 kernel, stock browser can play flash contents, but firefox does not, opera does not. Sometimes, sound canbe heard, but can see nothing. Please, someone help. Using latest flash player.
Very confused.

Those browsers don't play well with flash. Use stock or Dolphin.

Before rooted, it was fine.

The older version of Flash 10.2.156.12 did work in Opera on the Xoom. But when Flash 10.2.157.51 came out 2 weeks ago, Opera start to have problems with Flash contents.
Opera on my Galaxy tab also having trouble with the new version of Flash. Hopefully the next release of Opera will fix the bug. In the main time stock browser is the only option for watching Flash content on the web.
P.S. last tome I checked, Firefox does not yet support Flash.
Edit: My XOOM is still stock and un rooted.

Thanks
Tried xscope, it was fine with the latest flash before rooted, so does opera, it is rather strange as all of them do not work now.

I have been using dolphin without any issues.

[Q] Market Apps wont download

I am using Coredroid V7.
When I am trying to download apps from the official app market, it doesnt download.
it says downloading then just clears itself out. i try it again it doesnt download it.
i even did a full wipe(1.5 and coredroid wipe) then freshly flashed the rom again, then it doesnt download again.
because of that i even had to RE-root my phone..well that didnt fix it as well..
it worked completely fine in 6.7. can anyone help me whats wrong with it? i even resetted my phone..nothing worked...
im trying to download miren browser..

Wow hmm I had this before. Are you setting up any accounts after flashing? What I mean is once you flash and get to set up tutorial,when it asks about setting up accounts,so u log into Facebook or Google right then?

Well, after the extensive wiping/rerooting/reflashing/reseting you've done, to no avail, maybe it's just the market acting up.
I've run into similar download issues both stock/unrooted and custom/rooted, from time to time. It's usually that stuck progress bar that never seems to move and never finishes, almost always when trying download something that's set to update automatically.
I've also run into specific downloads not kicking in, as you're describing. It usually clears itself up if I just wait a little while and try again.
Not a very specific solution to your problem, but all I'm saying is that after all you've done to "reset," that should have taken care of the problem, if the problem was indeed on your end.
FWIW.

Do a Search for Full Wipe, there is something you can run that just cleans yer device completely. I would try that. Else; I am unsure.

Settings->Applications->Market-> Clear Data/Cache ???
Worked for me =(

It's just a sporadic issue with the Android Market. I have encountered this very same problem and thought it was the rom but never did any reflashing or wiping data/cache but then I would go try to download an app and it would successfully download and install. I think it's an issue with the android market.

Just fyi, I flashed v7 tonight, and installed several apps after the fact, so I can at least assure you that it's but the ROM.
Sent from the computer I carry in my pocket.

Solution kinda
I was having the same problem tried all sorts of wipes to no avail ended up just downloading and installing new cooler looking app market thinking it would solve my problem but it didn't just gave me an error message to go along with it.....so the solution u say......annoyingly simple really reboot into recovery after installing new market clear cache and dalvik cache too just to be sure.
confirmed working as of 5 minutes ago.
with new market
on virtuous unity rom (but I don't see a reason it shouldn't work on most roms with weird market bug)
new market ***here***

[Q] Adobe Flash Broken Juicy ROM

Hello Devs
I recently flashed Juicy47's Juicy ROM for the Inspire 4G, if your reading this man first of all big thanks to you for taking time and helping out the community with that awesome ROM. (I wanted to say thanks in the thread but my post count is too low)
I just have one small problem with it, Adobe Flash is not working for me. Tried flashing the ROM multiple times and wiped cache and dalvik cache as well but no joy. It is shown as installed under "All Programs" tab but even under market place I cant uninstall or install it again.
Further, I tried installing the .apk file and it does work for some time but when I restart the phone it magically vanishes again. Weird.
Thanks

UPDATE: Re-flashed the ROM and still have the same problem, I even extracted Flash from the zip and installed it manually but when the phone is rebooted it uninstalls itself.

Adobe Flash works perfectly well for me on that ROM. I assume you are using his latest 2.52 version. How are you determining it is uninstalled? If you search for it in the market does it not say installed? Or is it just not working for you on some sites? This question really needs asked in juicy's thread. I will copy it over and link it for you.
Also what ROM are you coming from? You may need to do a full wipe.

Thanks for the shout out Agoattamer, flash shows that it is installed in both the market and under the applications tab, but I can’t uninstall it or modify it. Trying to play any flash content gives me the blue lego cube with a question mark on it Apple style. I’m coming from the stock AT&T ROM that ships with the Inspire originally. I actually fixed this problem a while ago with the help of a friend. For anyone else that has this problem here is what we did:
- Install Titanium Backup
- Force uninstall Adobe Flash 10.3
- Restart and reinstall it again from the market
This actually helped and now even when I restart the phone Adobe Flash remains installed and works through the browser. While I was using Titanium Backup I also went ahead and uninstalled Adobe Reader and Twitter. This is why I love using Android, so many talented developers and community members on board.
EDIT: Just wanted to add that the stock radio works great with this ROM and I'm getting Good/Excellent reception in Houston which is pretty rare for AT&T down here.

Funny thing today. I went to test out adobe flash. So I went to the desktop version of youtube.com. And guess what all I got? Yep that blue box with the ?? marks. So I immediately uninstalled with titanium and then went back to the market and reinstalled. Works fine now. Came back here to report to you and I see that is exactly what you have done too. Good to go.

Anyone got Adobe Flash problems after ICS?

Since ICS Flash makes all my browsers freeze up when trying to play Youtube content (especially fullscreen mode).

Yes i have issues playing flash video too.. i cant get twitch.tv to work. I have tried opera, dolphin and stock browser.. it was workibng fine before ics

hey yeah same problem here.
even tried with chrome browser and still can't play flash

Hmm, I tried flash in Dolphin on OTA ICS and it seems to be working OK. At least I was able to play YT clips. Maybe uninstalling and installign flash again will help? Or clearing its data/cache via applications management?

I cannot find anywhere to clear the cache on Flash. I can only uninstall/reinstall it. All I get is a grey window when I try to play any videos on youtube. If I force the user agent to desktop mode in Dolphin for instance it will play but if I try to fullscreen it it will just hang.
EDIT: I found a workaround. The default browser sends you to m.youtube.com and if I try to play a video it just gives me a grey rectangle. However if you press the rectangle the seekbar comes up. If you then press the seekbar advance a little it will then play fine and you can even fullscreen it. Nice big fat bug there though.

To fix Flash in ICS, follow these steps:
1. Wipe Data & Cache for the Flash App
2. Uninstall the Flash App
3. Reboot your TF101
4. Install the latest Flash from Market
Your Flash should work fine, after following the steps above. Let me know if this solved your problem.

Thanks! It worked for me.

After i updated to ics i did a factory reset, does that count as data wiping/clearing flash cache? Flash seems to work ok for me on some sites but as mentioned before twitch.tv doesnt play on any browser. How can i clear my flash data/cache?

Use Titanium Backup and Wipe App Data for Flash. You can uninstall the app in Titanium, too.
[edit: Titanium Backup is only for Rooted ROMs. You can go to apps in the Settings menu and select the Flash App if you are on a non-rooted ROM to clear data and cache, as well as unistall Flash. If it is greyed out, then there is probably no data or cache info to wipe and you can proceed to uninstall.]

My tf is not rooted. I have done what u recommended (app settings/clear cache/app data/uninstall/reinstall flash) still no luck with twitch.tv. Before ics, it was working perfectly. On another note, flash does not work at all on opera browser. Opera doesnt detect that flash is installed.
Has anyone on a non-root TF running ics got twitch.tv to work? Im starting to regret the update.

I have the same problem, even after wiping data and cache, uninstall, reinstall flash. For me this is no solution.

G'day...
I have exactly the same problem as described in the early posts. I have tried reinstalling the Flash player repeatedly with no success. I get similar symptoms in both the stock browser and in Dolphin.
I think I'll stop trying to fix it for a while before I throw the damn thing through the window.
My unit is an un-rooted TF101G and I only got ICS update sent out last week - I thought they would have ironed out all the bugs by now. Right now all I want to do is go back to Honeycomb...

I had the problem when I switched to ICS Gnufabio ROM. Flash and even youtube stock player would cause problems in HD fullscreen. Videos were unwatchable. I switched to CM9 ROM - the same thing.
However, since flashing Megatron 1.0.3, flashing gapps again and with TestyMeh 1.0 kernel running @ 1.2 it suddenly started to work!

I've been experiencing the same problem.
I've found that it sometimes works if I go into full-screen mode first, and then plug in the HDMI cable. It all goes black for a few seconds, but then the video shows up in fullscreen on my TV.
As for the freezes, usually I have to close the browser, kill it, open it (and sometimes repeat several times before I can even navigate back to the page), then fire up the video again. But I've found that sometimes I can just power off the device (ie tab power button to turn off display), then turn it back on after a couple seconds, and video starts playing again correctly.
What a pain, though. Never had these problems with Honeycomb.

getwilde, I have the exact problem as you. Did you, or anyone, ever found a solution??? Please let me know..

Hi all, wondering if anyone found a solution to this issue? I'm on stock rom 4.0.3 (no root), YouTube play fine for me as it's html5 but any online content that uses flash player lagging badly. Will HD rom fix this issue ? Thanks
Ps: tried full wipe and installed latest version of flash player, no luck though.

Frederuco posted this on his 4.3 ROM tutorial
Yes and no - Adobe has dropped flash support for Android. The latest versions were for 4.0 in August 2012.
HOWEVER - You can still sideload flash. First, go to Settings - Security - Unknown Sources. Tick the box. Next, go to the Adobe Archives and download the latest version for Android 4.0. After it downloads tap on it to install it.
Flash works well in the stock Browser, Firefox, Firefox Beta and Boat Browser. Dolphin has disabled flash support for JellyBean last time I checked.

I know I sideloaded flash and it only worked when I got the right version, and to tell you the truth I haven't a clue whether it is still working as I am on KatKiss KitKat 4.4.v22 now and don't use flash pages much. I do remember a lot of people talking about sideloading Flash as the only way to get it to work.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply, this is exactly what I have as my setup. Flash is side-loaded but none of the ics version work. I mean they do but lagging badly. Prior the update to ics I was using flash side-loaded with no problems

Camera, Flashlight, screenshot not working, help me!

When I go to stock they work fine, as soon as I flash a ROM they stop working again. I know these are all related so Im thinking its something in the software, but I have re-installed the camera.apk, tried different camera.apk, tried camera from play store, tried flashlight and screenshot from play store. None of them worked. It could be hardware, but sometimes the camera does work at random. I swear when i re-install some apps from play store after a flash it works fine. Im gonna try adobe flash and see if that does it, but let me know if you have suggestions cause its making me mad!
