Flash + Chrome + Jelly Bean ? - Android General

Just updated to 4.1 Jellybean and now Chrome will not display any flash content (used to on 4.0). BUT, If I use the built in 'Browser', it DOES display flash content, so obviously flash player still works.
Is this a google thing? I wouldn't have thought so, as I'd expect them to nobble it on the internal browser too, but you never know.
I can no longer download it from the play store, so I updated to .17 available from this thread, but still no dice with Chrome.
If its a Chrome/Google thing, any suggestions on an alternative browser? I tried Firefox a whilst back and it seemed bloated and slow.

Have you tried Dolphin Browser HD? I've read somewhere that you can do it with Dolphin Browser but you may have to do something else other than just download the app and have flash installed. Never needed it so sorry I can't help more.

Chrome in its current version does not support Flash in any Android version. I was however able to get Dolphin HD to support Flash and retain pinch zooming by using this method. Good luck.

dolphin browser hd already supports flash, they just got it, like skyfire.
but im testing it now on htc hero, will get back with results.
well w/ stock 2.3.3 android browser flash content loads, but if i try to play a video, the browser just shuts down.
with dolphin browser hd, its iffy, some stuff will play, other stuff wont & does the same, just shuts down.
whats a good site to test, ive tried hulu (says i need to enable java, but it is), cnn, espn, youtube, justin.tv.
also should we have the browser set to android or desktop?
i thought desktop loads pages just like a pc, but when i choose this, this is when the browser crashes when i try to play flash vids

i dont think so dolphin browser support sites like miniclip without flash player installed, though it may have supported videos like skyfire

[Q] Htc Sense Roms vs CM7

Whenever i flash a rom running sense (any version 3.0 or 3.5) flash player never works on the internet browser, using either the stock browser or xscope pro. The video box will pop up and say no flash player in stalled but i have the latest version of adobe flash installed. When i tried out a cm7 rom everything worked fine. Between switching roms i did a full wipe.... anyone have any fixes to this? Its been every sense rom ive tried as well not just from one developer.

Something is odd then as flash works just fine on every sense rom I have used. You have the latest from the market right. Not one posted for CM based roms
yes the latest from the market is correct

Did you try dolphin browser or Firefox mobile. I use FF and Dolphin and have no issues with either. But it may be a moot point as Adobe has already stated they are not gonna support mobile devices here real soon and go with HTML5

No flash player for Jelly Bean??

As stated in google play while downloading latest flash player update.
***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***

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...

I'm running JB 4.1 on a Nexus S 4G and I don't even see Flash Player in the GPlay Store.

Workaround for websites that use flash?

Are there any browsers that support flash yet? I have tried chrome, stock, and dolphin browser yet worldstarhiphop.com for instance, does not load its videos.

Install the flash player apk from here. Stock, firefox, tint, dolphin, maxathon, and boat browsers all work (among others I am sure), I don't think Chrome supports flash at all however.
Note: I have tried roms that come with flash player apk pre-installed, but find I have to reinstall the apk from the thread for it to actually work...

Lastest version of dolphin doesn't works, so if you like that browser you should look for an older version. For me stock works great playing flash

Flash On Dolphin
I Prefer Dolphin Over Any Other Web Browser So What You Do Is Side load The Flash Apk From One Of The Threads, Use Root Explorer Go To Data\Data\mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser\shared_prefs\ Then Delete The mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml File, Restart The Browser Then It'll Load Flash By Default
