Jelly Bean and flash player still compatible!

Was I the only one who thought I'd lose flash capability after updating to jelly bean, because I didn't
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda premium

It is already known that side loading Flash player will still work on jellybean.

I had flash installed before the update and it works just fine after without any problems

Restored mine using using Titanium. No problems so far...

You guys who are side reloaded your Flash app, what did you do before hand, did you uninstall Flash from ICS prior?
I upgraded to Jelly Bean, Flash was already present in ICS beforehand and it's still present in Jelly Bean after the update. No sideloading, back-up/restore required.
Flash never worked in Chrome, but it's always worked in Stock, and there's a new browser that I don't think many may know about, but Mozilla has a new mobile browser that blows the Android Firefox away, it's called Aurora and it's the only browser where I can visit Youtube like it's a regular Intel x86 browser and watch Youtube vids and comment without ever needing the Youtube app.
Yes it's Aurora and it's from Mozilla that makes Firefox. It's everything Firefox on Android should be.

Had Flash installed before the update, updated to JB, flash is still there, works fine. (Chrome has no plugin support whatsoever, Flash didn't work there on ICS either.)
There's been a thread about Jelly Bean and Flash since 15 July in the Android General forum. Do your research, seriously. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336

Still in beta - not very stable. Won't stay open long enough to browse to flash sites to test it. Maybe not as compatible with 4.2.1.

Aurora is the alpha testing phase of Firefox. It's not a new browser.

I am using Cromi-X4.6.x
More often than not, Flash is unstable and FC's my stock browser, anyone else?

Haven't noticed any issues on Stock. Do you have Flash set to Always or On Demand?

JB works fine with Flash on my tablets and phones. Only does not work with stock browser and Chrome. Does not work on new Dolphin, but that is because the devs killed the function. Works fine with Dolphin 9.4.1 beta though.

You need to set it to 'on demand' in Stock, then it works.

Try setting it to On Demand. Might be be more stable that way.

Dolphin's newer beta with flash - bit.ly/10GcmeQ

The recently-released Next Browser (from the Go Launcher Dev Team) supports flash with JB, but it is kinda buggy. Seems to only allow one flash applet per tab.

It officially supports app2sd, so without any extra modification it becomes 1.79MB which is not too bad.

What is the difference between firefox and firefox beta
What is the difference between firefox and firefox beta

Memory still an issue after Apps2SD
Once you port over the bookmarks from PC (or Mac?) Version of Firefox, the internal memory decreases dramatically. Should not bookmarks be stored on SD, and less than 10 Megs (yes, I have a lot of bookmarks on Windows Firefox, but still ... A bookmark is only a few kb)? Of course, Arm 6 Firefox is still beta, so things may improve. I did find many appealing factors in it, like being able to bring up official Pixiv app when clicking on an image at the Pixiv (Japanese art site) website. Nifty!

Beta is for latest builds ... regular is for stable version
I checked Google Play, and low and behold, there is a regular Arm 6 version as well as a beta! The beta is of course for experimental use, so not everything may work as intended. Of course, this goes without saying for stable releases too, as there are so many Android based phones and tablets.

How to install Flash and Java???

I've heard this is possible for the Note Pro but cannot find an actual working process for either.
Any luck out there for others?

There's a thread here somewhere on using a hacked flash apk with dolphin and jet pack. Works great. As for Java? No idea.

Working java binaries (runtime environment, not a browser plugin...) were distributed with android apktool:
https://code.google.com/p/apktool/
However since kitkat i cant get it to work.The binaries structure is very messy and it would take some time to catch how to launch java vm in an appropriate way, ie. letting it use associated so libs. Didnt have time yet.
They are also seem to be redistribuded with AIDE app. Didnt checked out that yet, too.
Above may let you execute jar applications from command line.
Browser plugin not available atm.

I have several java-based games I play online that are not working now.

I followed the instructions and it works. However, flash playback seems to be slow. Anybody has an idea why?

Because Adobe do not care about Android Flash users.
KitKat version is working at all thanks to community, not to the developer... Adobe depreciated Flash some time ago (a year or something?). It's not optimized, that's it.
It's not a drama after all, as the whole world seems to be switching to HTML5...
PS: you may want to try turning on GPU acceleration in developer options...
PS2: you may also want to try Puffin Browser from Google Play store, which has newer version of flash included (and really works!), however I cannot guarantee if the performance will be better...

Chromium for Snapdragon devices

For those who haven't tried it yet I find it works quite well.
v46, sync, night mode, ad-blocker built in

I am using it now. I love it. This will probably replace chrome and ghostery as my main browser. Thanks.

It's there, near the bottom of the "comments" is a working link, and it says it's the M42 build. One major drawback I'm noticing is nothing "Syncs", no bookmarks, nothing. And yes, I'm signed into my Google account, it should be syncing everything?

This build is based on the newest build files (46) so it should be the most stable build tho it lacks ad-blocker (work in progress).
The build I'm using is based on build 42 files. The upside is it does include the built-in ad blocker and it does that very well, removing the ad and ad-frame. The night mode is integrated nicely in these CAF builds as well (I think it'd be even better if they inverted the app/navbar as well as the page but really it does a good job.
Link to a build identical to the one I'm using..

None of the build 42 based browsers will "sync" at my end. The only one that syncs is the "CAF Chromium" posted by mokash34 above (build 46?). If they won't sync all your data they're not of much use, to me. Sync is far more important than ad blocking.

Yes I noticed that as well, tho ad-blocking is of more use to me. I'll be upgrading to version 46 as soon as they get the ad-blocking in place

Ok, thanks, thought it might have been a problem at my end. The funny thing is, the build 42 based browsers let me "sign in" and show that I'm signed in, but will not sync. The build 46 browser has the "sign in" link, which I do, but it continues to show the "sign in" link after signing in, but it syncs everything just fine, strange.

so today the CAF chromium builds looks this way (all are build upon code aurora source):
SWE Browser
(rbrowser on google play) from @magic_man THREAD HERE
V42-2015-10-25
supports immersive mode (fullscreen) and ad-block, no google sync
CAF Chromium
from @jswarts http://caf.notphenom.com/, THREAD HERE
V46-2015-11-15
ad-block, google sync
CAF Chromium
from @VadimTk THREAD HERE
V46-2015-11-19
ad-block, google sync
the last two have same name and icon, so its a pain to keep in mind which one am I using
I need google sync, but i like the immersive mode...so i will keep an eye on those three.

just posted new build
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087012282

@VadimTk if you make a thread and will provide us with new builds and changelog it will be awesome. the only thingsni am looking fir is snapdragon optimised browser, with google sync and immersive fullscreen mode.

Browser randomly freezes both on my idol 3 and nexus 6
I'd have to swipe it off recents then open the browser again
Anyone else having this issue on the newest build v46

Tried it on CM 12.1 6045Y OC Kernel, sometimes it's unstable and most of the time it doesn't perform as well as my other browsers.

That's the one I downloaded from the link on your post 99 link
Is there a newer build than that post?
When I download the apk this is what I gets
swe-browser-20151219.apk

it's strange that you have an older build number, they must have found too much instability in the one I downloaded and replaced it with the one you have. My SD card isn't being recognized but I'll see if I can recover the apk

[APP][5.0+] Focus by Firefox

I saw this posted and decided to compile it for myself. Maybe some other people would like to try it out as well.
This is taken directly from source with no modifications.
Firefox Focus for Android
Browse like no one’s watching. The new Firefox Focus automatically blocks a wide range of online trackers — from the moment you launch it to the second you leave it. Easily erase your history, passwords and cookies, so you won’t get followed by things like unwanted ads.

Updated as of: July 11th, 2018
Focus has switched to full Gecko rendering now - they also have aarch64 and ARM versions, so I have compiled one of each. Builds are debug again due to apk signing!
Downloads can now be found in the "downloads" tab of this project.

Thanks! I'm kind of not in the mood of testing both which is better right now. Can you tell me which version you'd recommend? Which is faster maybe?
edit: nvm, looks like i'm going to get the webview version

WebKit version is much faster.

Thank you very much. It still lacks a few things but overall, it's an interesting experience to play with.

Yeah it seems like it's still in early days. If you look at the git log they are going to be adding Sync soon, and possibly tabbed browsing. I love the look and feel of it though!

Two actions that I tried to do was open something in a background tab and also share a picture. Couldn't do either. I'm hoping that this can be successful as a more lightweight and privacy centric version of the main browser.

Yeah the options are very limited. You can share a page via the menu and open in another browser... but that's pretty much it right now. I do have to stay it's *very* fast in benchmarks with Webkit though, which is promising.

Updated the WebKit version.
Some of the changes include showing the number of blocked objects on the current page, as well the trashcan icon in the taskbar is now the Focus icon (Firefox logo).
Seems like they are changing things often. I've put a request for them to add some sort of versioning in their commits so we know if anything has changed.

Didn't the Gecko version get any love?

I can update the gecko version if you want it's just not as fast as the WebKit version.
[Edit]: I've updated all versions, including a new "beta" APK with some of the debug code removed. Note that there is only a "beta" release for the WebKit version at this time.

I have to say it's a very smooth browsing experience! I installed the WK beta version. Compared to traditional Firefox, this feels lighter and butter smooth, even though there are features missing. Very interesting how it'll turn out.

Thanks for these builds.
The WebView version does not have an independent engine though, it's basically just another Android WebView browser, and it will crash immediately without some form of WebView installed.

why its show black screen? should i uninstall the old one before install this version?

Same here. ^^

What command did you use to build the webkit beta apk?

We already have Firefox browser on play store by Firefox team. So what is the difference in this one ? Is this an updated version comming for the old Firefox ?
Sorry for the noob question

Please bro.la you can repair.It always says analysis error when installing on Android 7.0

It's a browser that deletes stuff as you go and blocks trackers. I've been waiting for this on Android since launch on iOS. Thanks OP! :good:
