That was Adobe, they want to move over to HTML5 for mobile. In fact flash player (for Android) is being killed altogether August 15 so it makes sense for them not to make it work on JB.
I thought they just going to remove it from the Play Store after August 15th, meaning you could still keep it backed up in Titanium Backup and just restore and use it. Will this not be the case?

Yes, you could do this, but you'd probably have to be in 4.0.4 at the latest.
I can confirm that flash still works on version 4.1.1 on the Galaxy Nexus. I assume it will be the same for the Nexus S.
Google said that flash support isnt needed on jb! The browser will fill in that part!

Hello,
if you restore Adobe flash from Titanium Backup seems to work on 4.1
adobe dropped support for mobile flash player before the galaxy nexus even launched,but they promised an update to support ICS and they did that and they said they will keep making security updates until finally removing the app from the playstore on august 15,they never said that the current flash player will not work on jelly bean,so installing the apk or restoring it from backup may and may not work.and with a linux porting kit available (as far as i know) maybe some dev will port it or maybe google will integrate it in chrome for android like firefox did for their mobile version.
i have test the port of Jb on nexus s and the flash player not working ... i try to find it from google play and isnt here ... then i install apk and no work on website .... i open site with flash and crash ... also no broswer open site with flash ...
No online tv ... no online game on website ... no miniclip ... site not view good because flash plugin needed...
Best way to get rid of the dependency on dying technology is to force everyone to stop using it
Flash ain't going anywhere period. Just a Steve jobs talking point for not allowing it on iOS.
Flash is a dying technology - still push QuickTime.
Flash not on mobile anymore but you won't see it off the net anytime soon.
But i want to see site that need flash player what i can do ?
I think this might be the case: In android 4.1, Chrome is the default browser. no unnamed android browser for Nexus 7, just chrome. And chrome doesn't support flash. that is why adobe says they won't support flash beyond 4.0.x.
BUT on the GN and nexus s, we still have the unnamed webkit browser on jb roms/ports, which were the same ones from 4.0. and it can handle flash just like it did in 4.0 since all the 4.0 api were compatible with 4.1.

Getting so close to daily drivers with the jb roms so exciting. A bit off topic, but anyone having issues with bluetooth media running? I have latest jbrom (i think) running on my ns4g and that is one issue I have run into. I can take phone calls running through my car kit but media does not work. It says it's working but it's not. I have tried anything common sense would ask of a human being. Something is definitely wrong. pm me with any responses please I dont want to clutter up this thread. Thanks in advance!!
Flash is old tech. Adobe is just forcing us to switch to newer teach like HTML5 is what I heard...

Now that Jelly Bean is soon to be released to many devices and now that Adobe has stopped support for Adobe Flash on Android Jelly Bean and on August 15th they will prohibit new downloads on the Google Play Store, we need somewhere where we can get the apk because we will no longer be able to retrieve it from the Google Play Store.
So here is the apk: http://db.tt/5otQbUIj
Requires Android 2.2 or later.
Enjoy.

So many mistakes in one sentence:
- JB on many devices? Maybe, but not a single one with an official JB update.
- Adobe hast stopped support? They have just updated it and I'm sure they will continue fixing bugs.
- They will remove it? No! It will remain in the store for supported devices (<4.1).

It may still exist (for updates) on the Google Play Store but no new downloads of Flash player from the Google Play store will be possible after August 15 however there will still be bug fixes and security updates to supported devices (Android 2.2 - Android 4.0.4) Flash player for Jelly Bean is still technically possible.
This thread is here for the future and now that the Jelly Bean source has been released I said that JB is available for many devices.

From the market:
*** NOTE: FLASH PLAYER IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED FOR NEW DEVICE CONFIGURATIONS. FLASH PLAYER WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED ON ANY ANDROID VERSION BEYOND ANDROID 4.0.x ***
While Flash Player remains on Google Play for installation on Android devices that are certified by the manufacturer, installing Flash Player on an uncertified device may result in unexpected behavior and can potentially destabilize your device.

So the most of the current devices will be able to install Flash for a long time. Just because most people will wait for an official JB update. And that will take some time.
But of course your link will be useful for many flashers, especially in this forum.
http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/06/flash-player-and-android-update.html
Beginning August 15th we will use the configuration settings in the Google Play Store to limit continued access to Flash Player updates to only those devices that have Flash Player already installed. Devices that do not have Flash Player already installed are increasingly likely to be incompatible with Flash Player and will no longer be able to install it from the Google Play Store after August 15th.

This confirms that Adobe will prohibit new installs from August 15th regardless of what Android Version you are running and Android Device you have.

What is the version number of the Flash APK link you posted?
This apk still requires network communication permission. Adobe flash player does not require any special permissions to run for quite long ago, I believe this is not the latest apk.

:crying:I have QVOD Player version 2.1.60 on my HP Touchpad running Cyanogenmod 9 ICS nightly 07182012. Ever since upgrading to ICS, QVOD player has problems playing videos in that they skip constantly. If I copy the video from the QVOD cache and open it in another player, it works fine. Does ANYONE have the APK for older versions of QVOD? Please help if you don't mind. Thanks so much :crying:

does the app dont work since you updated the app or since you have flashed ics? Cause when it dont work since you have flashed ics i think that the app isnt working on ics yet and older versions will also not work.

So instead of offering advice on how to fix the problem, you just suggest to quit trying. Thanks for your help.
Okay, well one of the biggest concerns I have with a custom ROM is that I'd lose access to Amazon Instant Video. I've read that it's impossible to get the APKs from a stock Kindle firmware and put them on a custom ROM, unless the ROM is Gingerbread based, like CM7. Unfortunately I want JB 4.1.
So what I'm asking is, does anybody know a way that it might be possible? I can understand if not.
So if it's not possible, what about Flash? If you can spoof a desktop client and then go to Amazon in your browser that works. But Flash doesn't install on Android 4.1.
I've heard Flash will install on 4.1 anyways if you sideload the APK. But I've only seen this in other devices forums. Has anyone tested and verified it works on a Kindle Fire?
Thanks!

They will not work, the apps were built for gingerbread and seeing that the stock kindle fire image is gingerbread the apps have not been updated to be compatible with 4.0 or 4.1. I miss my prime instant video app, but I do have it on my TV so i use it that way.

Just as a thought, What if someone took them from the second gen kindle fire? Thats ICS based.
Hi, cause I didn't want to wait for an official JB update, I recently installed "SuperXE" AOSP Rom, JB 4.2.1. It's very nice, but i really need an app that can handle office document formats, especially those of MSO. As my phone originally came with "Polaris Office", I'd like to continue using this app -- is this possible?
Just putting the apk from stock HTC ICS in /system/app doesn't do anything. It's possible to install it normally, but then it crashes when I try to launch it. Didn't have the time to check logcat for that so far, but maybe someone can tell me if this ist just impossible to do OR what I'm missing, thanks!

probably it is compatible for sense based roms if i am not wrong
Didn't expect it to require Sense, because it's a "standard" app also available for other phones. But never mind that, just read somewhere else that it isn't compatible with JB at all.
The originally included game "Teeter" won't work on JB AOSP either, but as I don't find this version in the store, I guess missing Sense could be the problem in THIS case, right? It won't even install normally (e.g. clicking on the APK in file explorer). It's a game, so, not important at all -- but it was nice
hi ! Members
pleas :laugh: is there is any way to run android 4.0 apps on gingerbread and thanks
Running Android 4.0 on Gingerbread doesn't particularly make any sense.
What you really mean is, is there any way to run Android 4.0 on your phone? Assuming it's a yes, yes it is possible. It all comes down to what phone you have and if your phone has aftermarket firmware or official updates of the newer os.
If you want the feel of Android 4.0 then j suggest you download a launcher called "Holo Launcher" from the Play Store™.
If that's not what you want, and you want the full package, whole android update of 4.0 then yeah as said. It comes down to your device if it had enough support from members here or the manufacturer itself.

i forget to write apps i mean is there is any way to run app which require android 4 to run on gingerbread
If that is the case then no, android 4.0 uses new API, and therefore it will not work on gingerbread. If you attempt to install an Android 4.0 app it will come up with and error "problem parsing package".
So once again, nope, you cannot install android 4.0 ( ICS ) Apps on gingerbread.

my phone is samsung gt-5360 but i can't find real ics with no bugs thanks for you so much krishneelg3
There are Applications on the Play Store which is from new android platforms, but will work on older platforms. Search for ICS messaging, camera, gallery. From there you'll find more. And no worries.
Also keep track about the info given fro aftermarket Roms, as developers try to fix everything and soon enough most of the bugs are gone and the ROM can be used a a daily driver.

there are lots of ics+ roms for your device, they all cant be completely buggy, you even have kitkat which is awesome for this small phone.
