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

First, thanks to all the developers. I can't wait to start having fun with this thing. I just got mine from Woot and got the OTA update to 1.1-3588 and that's it, no other updates or hacks.
I went to the Viewsonic website and downloaded Flash from there then rebooted. Now the browser crashes on any Flash site, including the front page of XDA!
Any ideas? I have reinstalled and rebooted 2 times now.
Having the same issue. There is an arrow pointing down, i tab it and the browser crashes. Im using vegan 5.1.
Try deleting the flash apk or if that don't work wipe and try againg.

Yeah. Market?
I finally gave up and loaded Clockwork and flashed to TnT lite. I love it more now and had no problems getting the market to work.
I hope its ok to post...i downloaded Flash 10.2 from here.....

It works great...to view Youtube videos and see the entire Youtube website...just change your internet screen page setting from Tablet to ( my mind went blank here) to the setting to the far right.....laptop or whatever it is....
Hope this helps

I had the same issue on stock. This fixed it and all worked well
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.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
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.

I updated to Flash 10.3 and everything worked fine. Then Android 3.1 for my Verizon 3G Xoom. Now my stock browser closes out by itself, as does Dolphin, AND Firefox. The stock browser doesn't give a 'Submit Report' window but the other two do. I have cleared cache, history, etc on all 3.
It try going to the same page after crash and sometimes it will work for 10 seconds or so then crash/close out. Can someone please help, I use it for web more than anything. Greatly appreciated.
No one has any ideas? I even just rooted and tried to fix it by putting different kernel, still nothing. Clean 3.1 even w/o flash installed still closes the stock browser w/o a crash screen report. Any help appreciated
Try factory reset .
I did that a couple times, also re-flashed stock image and then upgraded to 3.1. The video is so much smoother which is why I'd like to keep 3.1 and not revert to 3.0.1.
you sure it isn't a bad app you installed. Ive gotten maybe 1 crash since the 3.1 update. Way more stable than 3.0.1 it could also be a bad widget.
I had same widget and apps on 3.0.1 and had some crashes but nothing that resembles what I have now. I'm at a loss

Hi there,
I have a UK WiFI xoom, and everything was working fine. I installed the ICS AOSP rom, and no issues.
The problem started when I updated the AOSP ICS rom, and the gapps, Now I DONT HAVE MARKET access. The loading circle just goes round and round till it says 'connection timed out - retry'. The GTALK doesnt connect either, it just says 'signing in' till it goes 'offline'.
Right now, I am on the EOS Wifi ICS rom.
Here's what I HAVE done so far to fix it based on ideas in this forum and others (trust me, I search before I post:
- Factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik before every rom install
- Installed every single ICS rom there is, with the recommended google apps
- wiped data on the google services framework
- Installed different version of gapps
- Shut down the firewall on the HOME NETWORK.
It just doesnt work anymore. It used to connect fine to the home Wifi earlier but something just went wrong somewhere and i cant track it down.
Any help would be appreciated.
you have any more info like does your xoom show you are connected to your wifi? do you have any other wireless devices and are they accessing the internet fine? are you flashing the right gapps package?
yea, Wifi is connected fine. Alternate markets like 'slideme', and browser, gmail, maps app etc work fine without problems.
I have flashed the latest gapps package as recommended by EOS rom makers (v. 10 i believe)
after installing the eos mod, did u restart before installing the gaps?
load a stock backup then reinstall your current flavor and gapps

First, take a deep breath. It's probably something small that's causing the problem, no doubt.
Some of the EOS Nightly are more stable than others. I would recommend wingray nightly build #56 (very smooth and stable) with the 10.4 GAPPS flashed immediately afterward. First wipe cache partitions, then dalvik cache (in advanced) then flash the rom and the GAPPS, then reboot. This should work very well for you. If you feel the need to do another data wipe, do that before anything else.
IMHO, no need to flash stock images 1st. Just flash on top of your current rom.
Good luck!
ok- will try and respond with results. thanks for the patience/

Hi - I did the steps exactly as you said (with a full data wipe). Still getting nowhere?
Any more ideas?
Go back to stock US recovery ROM. Start again.
Also no idea how to fix it (as nothing previously worked), but the symptoms seem similar to when you haven't accepted the agreement that pops up on new google framework (?) version. Won't let you use market or gtalk.. has happened to me before.
Before flashing, try an extra wipe: wipe system (in some recoveries also called "format system" ). I have been saved by this more than once.

I always wipe dalvick and cache partition. Install ROM from SD card, followed by latest Gapps and then use the fix permissions in advanced settings before rebooting. I have never had a single problem and have been using EOS Wingray nightly since release 11. I am sure the fix permissions is the key to this. No need to do a full wipe if you are on the same ROM!

You can only go back to 3.0 or whatever it is. t will update to 3.2, and then hopefully ICS.

Have you tried accessing the market through the browser? You will need to sign in...that may reestablish your link. I can't see why you need to go back to stock Honeycomb. It gets complicated getting cwm recovery back on (to stick).
I had a similar issue on my DHD. It turned out that your language needs to be US English.
Hope this helps

After successfully rooting my Xoom and flashing the Wingray-OTA-ENG rom on it to get ICS on my Xoom, and also installed the Google Apps rom; everything works except YouTube and the camera.
The YouTube app works but doesn't load videos; it will attempt to load one first. If it's on the web browser, the play header will jump to the end, and yes, I've attempted on many videos and have cleared my YouTube cache, installed flash player straight from the app store after I found out nothing was working, all to no avail.
I've looked around this and the Xoomforums and so far, nothing. Any help?
Did you flash the OTA by following this thread?

Try a different version of GAPPS - If you are using the 4.0.4 GAPPS, it does not install YouTube, now the cam not sure what happ. Since you are rooted, flash a different ICS ROM with matching GAPPS that is way better than the stock ICS.
