In February this year, Adobe announced that it will no longer develop further versions of its Flash Player for mobile browsers, and said that the beta version of Chrome for Android will no longer be supported. However, the company added that its Flash Player will continue to run on the stock Android browser. Today, Adobe is announcing that there will be no certified implementations of Flash Player on Android 4.1 a.k.a. Jelly Bean. Adobe added that beginning August 15, it will stop new installations of Flash from Google Play. However, security updates and other vital patches will continue for its existing Flash users.
Adobe added that the easiest way to ensure ongoing access to Flash Player on Android 4.0 and previous versions of the platform is to use certified devices that have Flash Player installed on them by the manufacturer. Android users running uncertified Android 4.0 or earlier devices will have until August 15 to get the Flash Player. “If a device is upgraded from Android 4.0 to Android 4.1, the current version of Flash Player may exhibit unpredictable behavior, as it is not certified for use with Android 4.1. Future updates to Flash Player will not work. We recommend uninstalling Flash Player on devices which have been upgraded to Android 4.1,” Adobe added.

???? are you confusing Flash with Java?
Its a shame. I use flash all the time when watching videos or streams on the go and hoped to see it get better in terms of optimization. I guess you can still just download the apk off somewhere and run it though unless im mistaken.

This action kinda proves Apple right. They dropped flash support a while ago.
That's one of only views where I actually agreed with Steve Jobs. Flash is an incredibly archaic program that slows browsing. I remember when I upgraded from Eclair to Froyo that most of the OS was much faster, but web browsing became a lot slower due to all the flash ads loading. I'm running JB on my Xoom and do have Flash installed because some sites have not made the switch, but I prefer site that favor HTML5. The writing has been on the wall for some time. Adobe had poor earnings and laid off some people and diverted resources from Flash to HTML5. Google releases Chrome for mobile devices without Flash support. Also, virtually every flash update for Android for the past 9 months or so has been a security fix and had nothing to do with improving performance.

A bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy, that. Apple's market share was such that they could, and did, change the playing field. If you're a web site owner who wants to attract mobile views, and over half your mobile target audience doesn't have Flash, it's pretty dumb to have your site rely on Flash. And with web site designers having a large incentive not to use Flash, and with a viable alternative now at hand, it doesn't make much sense for Adobe to keep putting resources into it, either. It's been clear for a long time that Flash was on its way out; the only question was how it would take to make it official.
Having video support built-in to the browser is clearly superior to the plug-in solution that Flash had to use. Still, I'm glad that we've had Flash available for these last couple of years to deal with the remaining Flash-based sites.
It is a shame there is no flash support. I installed cyanogenmod 10 preview build for galaxy s 3 and loved it until I tried to download flash player 11 and was not compatible. Restored right back to 9 which is 4.0.4 I need that flash player support. I don't know much about HTML 5 which is supposed to be the new thing.
You can still get flash through firefox I believe.

"It's our belief that you'll see an Android-based version of Flash in the coming months," said Anup Murarka, director of technical marketing for mobile and devices at Adobe.
For those eagerly waiting to watch online videos on phone, this should bring a smile on your face. Adobe, ARM and Qualcomm have teamed-up to bring Flash to all phones running ARM11 and faster processors. Devices with at least 200 MHz processors, more than around 16 Mbytes of RAM and a "completely capable Web browser" will be able to render Web-based Flash content, Murarka said.
This was announced as part of Open Screen Project which aims to get Flash on every imaginable mobile device. Adobe will announce the project at the Max Developers Conference where it will also demonstrate Flash on an ARM smartphone.
Other partners in Open Screen Project like Samsung and NVIDIA are already working to support Flash. “NVIDIA is working with ARM and Adobe to ensure Adobe Flash technology takes full advantage of NVIDIA Tegra computer-on-a-chip solutions through open standards such as OpenGL ES 2.0,” said Michael Rayfield, GM of NVIDIA's mobile business.

ohhh yaaahhh... few months?!?!?! should be few weeks... guess we will see.
I hope sooner than later will see it on G1. Yeah few weeks would be great.
apperently flash has already been demoed on the g1:
http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/17/finally-proper-banner-ads-for-android-flash-demoed-on-a-g1/
Yeah Becuase its good for Google AdSense business and without flash its faint ads.
I think Flash is already there in WinCE devices in Latest Opera 9.50 Browser of HTC Diamond. means ARM based coding is already exists its just a matter of time to port it and if Google and Adobe both Ventured into it it will be great.
good point about google adsense. and here i thought google was doing it for me
if this is going to be on the OTA update, how will 'we' rooted RC30's going to get our hands on this?.. hmmmm..i guess we can just wait for JF to modify it for us.. but this is good news! YAY FLASH!

Its going to be interesting to see what is updated at the android source repository, since flash is property of adobe and not open source. We may not even have to update our phones but just the APK for the browser.
iirc the browser is considered a part of the Android software stack so most likely what will happen is an ota will update the browser to accept signed plugins. They can deliver the flash plugin with the ota update or change the current flash placeholder to let it link to an adobe download page.
So once flash is on our G1s, are they going to change the YouTube built-in app to go to the actual site, or is it still going to be m.youtube.com?
Maybe a new page that has the layout simplicities of the app, but with access to the actual site and all videos, not just m.youtube.com enabled videos?
I'm sure I'm just dreaming there, but it'd be nice

It would be pretty cool to see a fully functional version of youtube made especially for me. I would really like to be able to log into youtube and play my playlists without having to go through the browser and open each one individually.

Firefox 4 Beta for Android was just released and announced by the Firefox team! The beta 1 of Firefox for Android is now available for download from the website.
Awesome! Thanks for the news
force close on htc legend 2.1
29mb DAMN!! i hope it alot better then the last Fennec. downloading now and will update on how it operates on the Hero.
***EDIT***
doesnt work on the Hero
force close on wildfire froyo
Can anyone get this started? It won't run on my ZTE Blade (Android 2.1/MSM7227).
Screenshots would be nice, if anyone can get it running!
Runs on my Moto Droid
A couple of screens as requested:
First run:
Fugly fonts* when zoomed-out:
Crisp fonts* when zoomed-in:
No flash:
Performance was horrible on my Nexus One (Cyanogenmod Nightly clocked at 1036 MHz) and pinch-to-zoom was a kinda wonky compared to the default browser. Haven't tested addons, sync, etc yet and I don't think I will, everything was just too slow to bother. Hopefully they'll improve that and if you're lucky enough it might perform better on your device.
*Note that I'm using the new Ubuntu font instead of the default Droid Sans. Droid Sans might scale better when zoomed, although the Ubuntu font looks ok in the default browser even when zoomed out a lot. Anyway, don't take the font thing too seriously unless someone confirms it.
Hope this helped somehow.
Runs awesome on my vibrant
Layout is similar to dolphin HD with the swipe L/R for settings etc.
Scrolling is a tad glitchy having occasional hang ups
Pinch zooming is good but text takes a few seconds to re-render
Downloads are nicely handled too... I downloaded a 4.4 mb mp3 simply by clicking download no extra menus... It instantly puts a notification up that says it's downloading therm changes to let you know its done
So far so good for beta needs improvement but this is a huge leap from the alpha I tried a few months ago
Sent from my SGH-T959
Edit: found the minimal requirements page.
Not working on my samsung gt i5500 can be hardware requirements not satisfied, I have to search more about it.
Works on my HTC HD2 with Mdeejay FroYo HD v.3.4.
in my hero don't work.
froyo 2.2
when i open the aplication, it close...
I installed the Beta on my Desire without any glitches...However, Firefox 4 takes almost 50MB of the internal space after my first run without visiting any site... using the browser is a pain...Desire slows down by atleast 30% of its original speed... Better with alternate available options...
Running on my Galaxy S, stock firmware.
No flash though, and doesnt run the built-in YouTube player..
Works on my HD2 running mdeejay's Desire Z based ROM; performance is horrible, though.
I really like the idea of having a Firefox-ish experience on my cellphone, as it's my preferred browser on PC as well, but it simply performs too badly for me to consider using regularly at this point.
i cant download from the link in first post
plz somone upload in xda. tanx
why are you guys posting the problems here.
just go to their page and post issues with their browser there.
works with hyperdroid....but still can't play farmville... Hope the final release can play flash

Same here (on an Incredible). 46MB?!?!?! WTF??? Worse yet, despite the fact that I still have 400MB of phone storage, 2GB of sdcard storage, and 2GB of internal storage left, I continued to get the "Low on space" warning after installing FF, and the accompanying inability to install/update anything from the market that comes with this warning. I uninstalled, and all is well again.

Because this is a discussion thread about Firefox 4b for Android, and so we are discussing Firefox 4b for Android.
Epic 4g, it runs okay, I seem to have some rendering problems when creating a new tab. As in the link loads but the page stays blank.
Dolphin, Opera, and SkyFire(Best). Are still all better options currently. This is still beta though....very beta.
----Announcement----
Ok, so first the disappointing news, of course as soon as I started planning this application I got swamped by schoolwork and regular work, so there is actually very little done on the project. I still have a lot to learn about Android development itself. So I wholeheartedly apologize if I got anyone's hopes up, etc. I got in way too far over my head and while I don't plan on not doing this it is certainly not going to be done anytime soon. This summer I plan on at least getting some alpha stuff working but then in the fall I'll be starting my first year at the University of Guelph for Software Engineering so we'll see how much I get done. Again I'm deeply sorry if I mislead anyone in my abilities, or the progress of this application
----Overview----
Hey all, I don't know how many of you know about the amazing Windows media player known as MediaMonkey or the variety of features it has (Auto-organize, Tag from web, DLNA support, etc) but thats besides the point. I feel that the one thing this amazing program lacks is a mobile app to go along with it, so with the release of MM4 looming (You can grab the beta here) I've decided that I will develop just such an app. Official support has been given to this project by the MediaMonkey developers and more than enough people have expressed interest in this project so I'm going ahead and starting development! Right now only support for music is planned though video may come eventually as well!
----Planned Features----
MM.db sync and merge
Non-native codec support (Ogg, Flac, Ape)
Basic library managment (Tag with Amazon.com search, media scanner to load non-native codecs)
DLNA control point for MM4
DLNA renderer for MM4
Lockscreen widget with swipe controls
Companion MM4 plugin to handle syncing
Skin support

I for one would be interested. For those who don't know MM, its a program similar to itunes but with way better usability. It syncs great with ipods too!
MM is the best !!
+1 for me too
+1 for mediamonkey. It's my media player of choice
Well looks like theres definitely some interest here (and on the MediaMonkey forums) and I have support from Peke one of MediaMonkey's developers so this is going ahead. Though I will say development might be a little slow, I have Java experience but I'm still learning programming in general and I've never worked with the Android SDK not to mention I've got school however I'll try to get this up and running asap
Definately, Wish Mediamonkey would work on my mac
Don't know how you can live without it lol specially auto-organize with the file monitor (love dropping an album of unorganized songs into my music folder and suddenly its in my proper folder structure with the right filenames)

Oh also the project basically means that if I can pull it off correctly android users will finally get proper sync support without having to fiddle with the USB_MassStorage.DLL anymore

Seriously Adobe, Google has just finally turned honeycomb into a "finished product" with ICS and now just as things are getting going you're going to pull the plug? For better or worse, flash is easily one of the best features of android. Someone over at Adobe needs to quit huffing gasoline...
Adobe is stopping mobile developement only. Desktop browser will still have flash videos.
The whole point of having flash on mobile is to be as close as possible to a desktop experience. If this is true, you will not be able to watch videos on sites that did not convert to html5
I think this is really a bad news for sgs2 users. With ics coming in 2012, we may not have flash support anymore
In the grand scheme of things, this will have a negligible effect for the end-user and really just shifts the onus on the browser providers to ensure they keep up to HTML5 etc standard.
I'm sure Adobe et al. will be migrating/developing content to help push HTML5 forward as it is moving at a snails pace. This is a good thing for all.

Hi, I have foun this comment on Engadgets article, might be helpfull:
OverDriven 15 minutes ago
To all the little nooblets on Engadget (which appears to be 99% of you, judging from the comments), this simply means that they will no longer focus on displaying Flash IN THE BROWSER. AIR stands for Adobe Integrated Runtime, and it is a Flash runtime environment. In other words, it's purpose is to run Flash applications on the desktop (or as an app). Adobe simply is moving from primarily in-browser to primarily out-of-browser, which is a step up for them. Running Flash apps in a browser on a smart phone never made any sense at all in the first place. It's main use in browser is for video, and HTML5 can take care of that. "Laying down their sword", as Engadget refers to it, is not at all what they're doing. They're making a strategic move to increase their presence on mobile devices via AIR.
Also (and I get tired of saying this), if you are "anti-flash" then you're undoubtedly uneducated on the ins and outs of HTML5 and Flash. They are different tools for different jobs. Do us all a favor and educate yourself before you decide to log on to the next tech blog and act like you know what you're talking about.

While I agree with your take on what Adobe is doing. It doesn't take a tech educated person to see CPU/Memory load while using flash on either Desktop or Mobile, is far more inflated than while using HTML5
The full post is from him.
Comment about "non educated" belongs to him as well.
Just to clear ;-)
I agree that flash is resource hungry but it looks like its gonna changed little bit. I personally don't use flash on mobile at all.
I'm kinda happy in some ways.
First I've gotten sick of updating flash plug in as well as activex on the desktops.
I wasn't going to play drm videos on phones/tablets and those will have its own apps anyway.
And finally it brings clarity to me on what I'll get for a tablet.
As people start to head towards using there phones and or tablets for browsing content on the web more than ever I don't think losing flash will be an issue for us, for the simple reason that Apple are still the big guns in the mobile and tablet sectors. And as they will never support flash and are fully behind HTML 5 I'm sure the content providers will follow suit.

QFT! no one seems to understand that very little of the internet uses HTML5. flash is still standard, and it will take forever to get everyone off it. in the meantime, adobe had made sure that no "mobile" device can have full "desktop" capabilities for a long time.
flash has exponentially more usage than HTML5. fact. taking away flash means a large portion of the internet is inaccessible. this takes away from the overall capabilities of android, and ANY other flash capable OS.
i know many people who wouldn't even buy an android device until flash was released, because it was integral to make most websites work. this is still true. how do you people not see that?

I guess it's pretty stupid to make it incompatible. Why cannot they just leave it put by default and let it work with other browsers of the user chooses to download it from Play?

As I understood it, Adobe will leave the app in the store, they just won't optimize/develop it any further. And as I said in my earlier post, Google will keep developing Flash Player for Linux as a plugin for Chrome. So my guess is, that they will implement it in their Chrome-App.
Flash always sucked in perfomance and had security issues all the way. HTML5 is the way to go. We just gotta hope that more and more websites will support HTML5 instead of lame Flash Player.

Maybe flash is just integrated
Flash player is going to go away in the future anyways, it's all going towards html5. You're going to start seeing more html5 and less flash on the internet.

I agree, Adobe decided to kill flash. Google has no reason to keep flash alive. Don't you think Chrome would already support Flash if they were going to?

thanks for the information, i feel more relieved
Ahh the long months before we get a glimpse of Jelly Bean on our device...
So how is this going to work?
The JB source will be released in July, right? Can modders start building full, working ROM's after that or do they need something more? What? Do we need something from HTC?
The system dump or anythin' like that isn't enough for a fully working ROM, AFAIK - right?
Dunno about making ROM's like... anything
Thanks for everyone who dedicate their time for this!!

the jb developer kit is already available for download from google, the ota updates will begin for the nexus line in july. The ability to create a aosp rom is already available. I believe we already have some devs working on a kernel.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I am new to the One S picture. The Ville will be getting JB, correct? I'm guessing it is, but just a matter of when.
