[Q] Can't Play Flash with any browser - General Questions and Answers

I've installed Wanamlite [ROM][CWM][DXLP9 Android 4.0.3] Deodexed Stock on my Samsung Galaxy SII phone.
I also installed Adobe Flash Player 11.1
---
But I can't play (see) any flash content via any browser(Stock's browser, firefox, opera) .
When I start Flash Player Settings Application I get this in Stock browser and firefox (attached screenshots)

Have you tried uninstalling the adobe update to see if flash works then?

you can try to uninstall it and re-download the flash.this may help if without any errors download.

what do you mean? how?
I think stock browser is in mobile view

My stock browser wasnt after installing a different ROM, just try it:
Open Browser, hit Menu - Settings - Mobile view.
Try switching it on, then refresh your page.
If its on, try switching it off, then refresh.

I don't have Mobile view in Settings.

well when you update apps via play store, when you uninstall them you can choose to just remove udpates instead of removing the entire app thus going back a version to see if that's the problem.

Then Im sorry, dont know anything else you can try. Maybe try a different browser..

Flash on 2.1 in Default Browser

Flash works on YouTube.com using the default browser after installing this APK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695965
I installed this APK and restarted my phone and flash is working on youtube.com. I'd recommend uninstalling flash lite first.
Doesn't work on Miren browser.
Not sure if it matters that it's in an HTC EVO forum, but it works on my Mesmerize so I'm happy.
80 Views and no comments? Is this working for people? Helpful, unhelpful?
Didn't work for me. Phone said it couldn't parse the package. I had emailed the file to my phone, so I'll have to try again later and use a data cable.
it works, been playing with it since, yesterday!

Works fine for me in the stock browser and in Dolphin. Thank you very much.

Thanks for your help but I tried that before and it didn't work. I had to use Titanium Backup. Flash worked for youtube but that's it
I'm having issues with this, I uninstalled both Pineone Flashlight Plugin 1.0 & Flash Player 1.0 then installed this .apk (flash 10.1) but neither the browser nor dolphin is picking this up. In fact, when i go to whatismyflash.com it says it's been removed/disabled.
Anyone clue me in to what I missed?

[MOD] Hulu: Flash 11 modded to work UPDATED 11/26/2011

UPDATED 11/26/2011
Ok so here is flash 11 which works with hulu by tricking it that the flash player is a desktop version. This mod is 100% the work of Vgeezy from thrive forums. i am just reposting it here.
Instructions:
1) Download the apk
2) Uninstall flash on the transformer
3) Install apk
4) Set user agent in browser to desktop (open browser-setting-advanced-user agent string- desktop)
5) Go to www.hulu.com and enjoy!
If these instructions dont work try this: (Credit Cowballz69)
1) Set flash to always on on the browser
2) Disable pictures to make sure you boot original flash in market (browser-settings-advanced-uncheck display pictures)
3) Play any flash video with original flash app
4) Uninstall flash from market
5) Install modded flash.apk
6) play any hulu video now
If your flash settings are set to on demand u must scroll down and click the green arrow on the right next to "share this video" to enable the flash. otherwise u can keep flash on always on in settings. (i hate flash ads so i keep on on-demand)
For a frame rate boost u can go to browser-settings-advanced-and uncheck load images (thanks cowballz69)
also if u want an easier ui to access vids some ppl prefer http://www.hulu.com/widget/player but i think that is better suited for smaller phone screen
if u are having problems and it doesn't work make sure you have the new 10.3 installed from market, install the modded apk over top of that then uninstall Flash again and then install the modded apk. (Thanks MonsterAndroid)
No luck here. Maybe I'm doin it wrong.

What is the error it gives u? Does it say platform not supported? or it needs higher version of flash?
works perfect. However please add this to instructions *must switch flash from on demand to always on

Ok will add tidbit about ondemand and pictures off as options. But u can still use with ondemand there is a little arrow next to share this video that allows u to turn on flash for those that hate to keep it always on to avoid pesky flash ads.
Does not work for me. Says hulu is not supported on my platform. Do i need root? I just tried installling on top of 10.3,it says not installed. Then i uninstalled 10.3 and used file manager to pull up the downloaded file and installed it. No luck.

try uninstalling the modded version again. reinstall the market version. then uninstall market version and try installing the modded version. Let me know if that works.
Make sure you hit all the x's on the tabs to close out of the browser ... you cant just hit the back button to exit, that will just put it in the background processes ... remember that. Once you come back in it should work.

I did this about 5 different times with no luck. One time my TF froze and i had to hard reboot. Then i decided to switch flash to ondemand, it had been on always previously. Dont ask why i did it, I just had a haunch. Anyways, it works now. I am not sure if it finally took or if changing the option made it work, but it works now. Thx.

Not sure why its working for some and not for others. Maybe for those who are having problems post what software build version u are using. I am on the 0423 build so maybe people who are on old firmware are having problems.
If u post as much specific detail about what the problem is and how ur device is set up maybe we can figure out a solution.
i'm on 8.2.3.9-20110423
I had flash 10.2 installed. put flash 10.3_hulu into a folder on my transformer.
uninstalled flash 10.2, then used Ghost Commander to locate the 10.3 & install it.
tried the stock browser, with the user agent set to Desktop... didnt work.
tried Dolphin HD with user agent set to desktop... didnt work.
rebooted. tried both again. didnt work.
uninstalled 10.3_hulu. rebooted. installed 10.3 (marketplace version). then uninstalled it. then re-stalled the hacked version. rebooted. tried both stock & dolphin. nothing. changed dolphin's plug-in settings from "always on" to "on demand." still nothing.
got angry. cursed out friends on xboxlive because I can. made angry post on xda forum. relived the horror all over again by typing this post
just tried installed the hacked one over the standard one. still doesnt work. uninstalled then installed hacked on again. still nothing.
Only way I was able to get it to work was by setting plug in to On Demand.
Got it to work on mine. Downloaded the .apk file and ran it from file manager. Failed to install first time. Uninstalled the stock version then reran the modded one. Installation completed then. Had to drop the show resolution down to 480. 720 was a bit to choppy. Biggest problem right now, is that the Hulu screen wasn't intended for a touchscreen interface.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
got it to work on mine but its laggy when its running on full screen.
Mine wasn't working with the apk from the older post...I kept getting the "unsupported on your platform" message right when I got into Hulu.com.
When I loaded this apk and followed the steps...I got all the way to choosing and watching a vid before I got that message....
but still no joy.

Depends if its pre-installed to your phone as a system app. Its downloadable from the market either way.
If its already installed on your phone then I'd start by checking your browser settings to make sure plugins aren't disabled.

I have been unable to use Flash Player in Firefox on KitKat. I have to use Dolphin.

Did you select auto play or tap to play in the plugin settings? If one doesn't work, give the other a try. The setting is a bit fickle.
Also, did you just place the APK in the folder? Have you tried simply installing the official flasplayer apk as an actual app?
(though I've swapped to Dolphin, the last few recent Firefox updates have made it painfully slow.)

I did, of course, install the APK. It would have been pointless not to. I did not tweak the plugin settings though. Websites I visit do not recognize that Flash is installed and will not even offer the Flash content. The problem with Dolphin is that many websites do not render correctly. Oracle support, for example does not render or work right with Dolphin. Neither do other elaborate support sites such as the HP server support system. That means that I must keep FF on hand for those.
Cheers,
Russ

1) Please make sure that Dolphin Jetpack is enabled in the Settings.
2) Download and install <a>this Flash Player(http://goo.gl/VMivpL) on the right top on this link(http://dolphin.com/lab/en). If you have installed the other Flash Player before, please uninstall it first.
3) Make sure that the flash setting in Dolphin Browser (Click Menu > Settings > Web Content > Flash Player) is on. Follow steps mentioned above and find out whether it works. I get it from their website.
