Adobe Flash - 4.1 Jelly Bean

So as we are all aware Adobe said they wouldn't support flash in Jelly Bean, as stated here - http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/375574/adobe-kills-off-flash-for-android
Of course on the Jelly Bean ROM I'm running flash doesn't appear in the market, but when I installed the apk, flash worked perfectly on a number of websites.
Just out of curiosity I was wondering if anyone knew the reason as to why it still works?! This is not a huge update to ICS so may be due to that but I was just being interested and wondering. Anyone have any insight?
Cheers guys.
EDIT: I have attached the adobe flash apk, the latest one. Install it on your device manually if you're running jelly bean and flash should work. Although I think we have established it will only work in the default android browser

They've only stopped support, doesn't mean that it won't work but if it doesn't on certain devices then they won't fix it or support it, because it's not a massive update there's a very good chance that it will work.

Basically the apk is the android software, the Google Play store filters out Adobe flash because you are running Android 4.1 jelly bean which explains why you cannot find it in the Google Play store.
When you install the apk, it will still work because Adobe have only stopped support for it, they haven't disabled it or blocked it. The term 'support it' means to give the product updates and provide help for users. Adobe are no longer providing updates (apart from security updates) and help to users for Adobe flash on android.

Ya it only work on Browse default by G. Opera work on the Opera for mobile not Opera mini.

I've added the latest adobe flash apk to the OP so people running jelly bean can get hold of it more easily

I tried the apk. In 1st post I still get messages telling me to install a flashplayer . Any ideas

I'm not sure exactly which of the linked apk's I installed, but Flash is running fine in Stock Browser.
I never got flash in Firefox and didn't try any other browsers.

Use the stock browser. If you're using any other browser it may/may not work/may work slightly. But the apk in the OP is pulled from my motorola xoom and i have it installed and it was working on youtube and various other flash sites through the stock browser.

Dolphin HD browser won't load flash (and has a nasty nag screen if you try to enable it).

Many thanks for the information from here and other sources, as a result of which I've managed to get Flash sites working on the Nexus 7. In case it helps the non-technical, I've blogged full step by step instructions with screenshots on how to install Flash on the Nexus 7 and set up browsers (with link back to this thread), at my blog at consumingexperience.com (sorry, I'm new here so can't post a working link direct to the post).
I've tested several browsers and listed the results and browser settings in that post. Mainly I've tried them on UK TV catchup sites ie BBC iPlayer, 4od, Demand Five, ITV Player.
In summary, generally on the Nexus 7 I found Firefox Aurora (with the Phony add-on) and XScope to be the most reliable so far. An older version of Dolphin does work, but not as well. I couldn't get either Opera Mobile or Opera Mini to work.
Thanks again!

Thank you so much for this! I had another apk that everyone claimed was working fine but I have the CM10 preview build for Verizon Galaxy Nexus and couldn't play any videos until I tried your apk.

Adobe Flash Player on CM10 please help!!

I changed from CM9 to CM10 one week ago and I'm pretty satisfied with it. Except of that there is no flash player at all.
I searched all threads and posts on XDA and the web but i couldn't find any solution for this problem which works on the one s. This issue is very important to me because 90% of the whole websites still including flash player and browsing without it sucks big time!! I already installed the flash player apk but still can't get it to run. For me its one of the most important tools and i badly need it. Thats why i started this thread. Thanks for any answers :good:

Restore from Titanium backup? Paul O'Brian had a flash downloader app but it was pulled from the Market...maybe someone can upload?

to get the apk isn't the problem. i already installed this, but it will not work. the app by itself is working fine (i open it like on cm9 and it goes straight via browser to settings and it allows me to change the option) but when i open for example youtube by boat or dolphin it opens the usual flash window and it starts to load but this is it..

I remember reading something about Adobe Flash player not getting support anymore for 4.0.4.

The stock browser supports flash anything else like Dolphin will not work.

I installed the latest nightlies rom of cyanogenmod (from xkonni's CM10 20120815 to nightlies CM10 20120829). After flashing this rom, FLASH PLAYER works for me now. With stock browser and even with boat browser or dolphin browser. I don't know why but i'm so happy with it!!!! Thanks to the developer very big!!!

Need help about flash player

Hi, I haven't yet the Galaxy s3 but i want to ask you a question.. for me the flash player is important then I read that there is a possibility to install it because in the market android there isn't (i'm italian then in my nation this app isn't in the market)
then, it's secure install an app not recognized by the sytem? there is a kind of lag and things like this or it's perfect?
now, i want to know how i can install this,
1) first of all i must allow Unknown Sources when prompted or else it will not install
2) then I must download the file flash_player version 11.1.115.27, right?
3) finally run the stock browser
right? help me please

You don't really need flash. Just use chrome

You are right. Unfortunately adobe flash is not supported on android 4.0 so just use Dolphin Beta or Chrome. I was a big adobe flash fan but when I upgraded to the S3 it took me a while to get used to not having flash. I found Chrome (specialy the newest version) is not that bad also Dolphin Beta. I use the 2 regularly.

That is so misleading. There are still many sites out there that use flash that you can't view without using the now unsupported flash application and a browser that supports it, like the stock browser on GSIII. I use chrome, but occasionally call the stock browser for sites with flash.

HTML5 may be the future, but Flash is still very much the present. Don't let the Apple-esque mindsets tell you otherwise. Flash is necessary for a complete web experience. Get the Flash APK, install it, and enjoy. It will appear in your market under your apps afterward and will update normally.
I use the Android browser with it, and it works fine. As stated, other 3rd party browsers will work well with Flash, too.

How do I get it to show up in the Play store? I just manually updated from version .17 to .27, although Adobe's flash player test page shows it's still .17(?). Neither version of Flash player shows up in the Play store for me, under the installed or all tabs.

I ~believe~ the process I used was side-loading the Flash .apk file and using Astro file manager to install it. After that, it showed up for my S III in the Play Store.

Hmm. I used dropbox to put it on my sdcard, then installed through ES File Explorer. ES/Astro - same thing, right? Oh well, at least it's functional.

[Q] Nexus 5 does not support flash player?

Does Nexus 5 support flash player?
I cannot play any flash on my nexus5, even i installed flash player and used the browser other than chrome
how can i play flash on Nexus 5?

Flash support ended close to 2 years ago. Some devices still had it unofficially, but Adobe doesn't support it at all. You won't find it on the Nexus 5.

just install a browser from the play store that support flash, it should work..
anyway just browse without flash and you will see that you will never need it on today sites

Some browsers that support flash http://mashtips.com/browser-flash-player-android/. Maybe not all are optimized for KitKat but try them and keep the one you like the most.

I have installed Flash Player and Firefox (combination worked on Nexus 4), but no luck.

more and more issues , the apps aren`t updated yet for 4.4 i guess

Boat browser?

It should work with Puffin Web Browser

Flash died a couple of years ago and someone forgot to tell the internet.
- Install APK, use different browser....

For reference

AOSP browser was the only one that worked for me with Jelly Bean. Don't know if it will also work with KitKat.

Confirmed Flash not working with Firefox, dolphine atm. Boat browser force close. Only puffin with built in flash works but 14 day trials, meh.

actually, i hv installed many browser that claim they support flash player
however, none of them work! and some of them got force closed

Never worked on my Nexus 7 after 4.3, so I don't expect it to work on much anymore. I can live without it, but HALF the sites I visit have it, and its pain to go to a pc to see it! Firefox is the only browser I found that it almost works on, but I find FF was to slow and bulky. Seems a real stupid move by Adobe.

[Mod] Flash Player To Watch Hulu for AND 4.X NO ROOT

NO ROOT REQUIRED​Hello all I just got back from overseas to find my Hulu + hack no longer works and Android has updated so much it does not include Adobe Flash anymore. The file system was so different on my Samsung G S4 Active running 4.2.2 I almost gave up on trying to get this to work.........well I never give up!! As you see in the video all you have to do is install it. I will still break it down.
WHAT I DID -
Almost everyone is familiar with modding the flashplayer.so file from AND to WIN. WIN only get's you to the Platform Not Supported screen. Well I took it to another level. I changed the same line to LNX 11,9,900,99 and the SWF line from 11.1 r115 to 11.9 r900. This yielded better results and came close to the latest player for Linux platforms. DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU DON"T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. Pages like Hulu or VEVO are checking the version of your flash player to determine your platform not the HTTP Headers. That AND 11.1 let's them know right off the back you're on android. Took a stab in the dark to figure this out. Maybe I shouldn't divulging this much but I want others to do it on their own. Shouldn't matter anymore since we will not get anymore updates for adobe.
**A note for those who are rooted who have a custom rooted rom with a custom kernel like me, I have Blackhawk kernel 1.8 for my Tab 3 7", the stock browser or any otherbrowser allows you to use this mod if it supports plugins. I'm guessing it will work with any stock browser in any of the custom rom that is rooted with a custom kernel**
Please read everything before proceeding !!NO ROOT REQUIRED (unless you had it preinstalled)!! Perform at your own risk. I am NOT responsible for your device!!​
If you had the app preinstalled when you bought the device you will need to be rooted to uninstall it from the /system/app folder. After you have uninstalled any previous versions REBOOT your device. I would do it two times. I had to for my Samsung Galaxy S4. Don't know why......
Stock Browsers on phones like my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active do not support plugins anymore. FIREFOX is the ONLY apk I found that works with this mod on none rooted devices. This is because Firefox specifically points to the plugins folder while others only call for webview permissions to allow plugins. Please let me know if the apk does not work on your device or build. Please try Firefox browser with this mod first to ensure it works:
1. Download my mod here: ICS_MOD_FLASH.apk
2. Make sure you have install from "Unknown Source" is enabled in settings on your device
3. Install mod and enjoy
Only if you are rooted:
Download and unzip, then paste the plugins folder on your device in /system/lib it makes the video playback on HD more stable. In the old stock builds this folder was already there. It's not anymore.
plugins.zip
Sites That Work Now With This Mod:
HULU
Worldstar Hiphop
ESPN
Yahoo
My video showing what I did

Can someone tell me if this will install on 4.4, if not I will mod it to do that.

It works on 4.3 build I confirmed no root.

Getting this on 4.4.2
Also changed the permissions on the file. I'm rooted, just got this.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk 2

Is that a Firefox browser? The only browser I found that works with it is Firefox. If you are and you have plugin enabled on the browser then its back to the drawing board for kitkat.

Forgot to ask but you did install my modded apk right?

Hi, I've been messin around with this, and for me dolphin didn't work, flashfox didn't work. Maxthon didn't work, of course Opera didn't either.
Found a couple more that do though- Photon Browser and Boat Browser. I prefer Boat because Photon's UI sucks, and is more intrusive(hey, do ya wanna upgrade at start up), but Photons user agent options are more handy. Both latest versions got from G play store.
Didn't try FireFox cuz of it's size, am low on data, n can't move it to SD, phones already lagging. With Boat and Photon can be moved, plus cache to SD.
Questions, I'm rooted and put modded flashplayer .so in /system/lib/plug ins/ com .adobe.... and is working. Why is there also these in /data/data/ com .adobe....? Can I go ahead and delete these .so's?
Sent From Above Using Xparent Blue Tapatalk

Do not delete the data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer folder. That is where flash is installed like on a Windows machine program folder. You'll notice the other program folder are there to.
