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 on GT-P5113 ?

I am also mourning the loss of our favorite Adobe Flash Player in Play Store. Bunch of timids, I say! Give up so easily to that rotten apple? .. I know, I know, the whole html5's grand entrance... The thing is many sites (abc etc.) have not moved over and they do require flash. Not a win in my books!
Anyway, Tab 2 10.1" doesn't want to play any flash content after installing the apk. Tried even few different versions with no luck. Got the blue lego with "?". Does anyone have a definitive guide or procedure to make it work; preferably on default browser or chrome :fingers-crossed:. If that is not possible, can download another browser (ugh).

Try this version latest work perfectly in cm10 stock browser
http://db.tt/TSLOgKcR
If you are in jelly bean cm10 i think will work
If you use dolphin and it did not work try old version of it by side loading
Always make sure in browser setting to make sure plugin as always on
As i know chrome will never operate flash it is html5 browser
So try stock and dolphin or older version of it

Flash will only work with stock browser (or any modified versions of it like Dolphin) and Opera Mobile. Firefox and Chrome won't support it.

Got it working finally! Some content seems to hang though.. for example, watching Family Guy on Fox.com would work until the ads come. Sometimes it goes through them and other times, it just hangs. Anyway, it's better than not having it work at all. :good:

Flash works on my Samung Galaxy Tab 2
Hello,
I downloaded the version of Adobe Flash found in this link mentioned above. It is Adobe Flash Player 11.1-111115012.apk
I put it on my external SD card and then put the card into my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. I installed the app. I also downloaded the Firefox browser app from Google Play. Flash works in the stock browser and in the Firefox app but not in Chrome. I did not need to use the Dolphin browser app.
Oh, I have Model GT-P3113. I just bought it a week ago and it has all the latest updates.
I was able to watch a show on ABC's web site. I have yet to try others.
I hope this helps.

FYI: Chrome does not support Flash.

Yes as i know chrome does not support flash

Dolphin has dropped flash support recently. You can use lucky patcher(Google it), and stock browser. Have had no problem with using official flash from its site to watch hulu, and others.

I use Firefox Beta available on Google Play and flash works fine with it also.

Yeah Mandi, you can go to adobe official website, and they have it there. You can also download an app off of the market that will do this for you. To make it easier, here is the one I got from adobe.

OK I have gt-p5113 which JB 4.1.1 was loaded today thru normal download update. When I tried to side load flash it will not allow me to click on the "install" button in the apk file. I can only hit cancel. I was trying to get this to work on ICS 4.0.4 and was able to load multiple versions of flash but never able to get it to work. Now I can't even side load. Does anyone have any recommendations? I have this working with Boat browser and JB on Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-710 but cannot get it to work on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.
Thanks

Adobe Flash Player

Those of you looking for the Adobe Flash playstore apk that was taken off of the market. Well here it is
Why should you download and install this? Well firstly its no longer available on the market, secondly if you want any kind of flash support on your device when browsing certain webpages, watching specific videos then you'll need this. Most of the browsers even the ones on the market dropped flash support, i'm not sure why but they did, and having this installed will give you that flash support back And lastly, it only takes a few seconds to install and won't harm anything so why not have it just in case you need it right?
Links:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6260242/Applications/com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bx4sftkd1mSvbE94YlV3dHFkZWM
That's the last updated version from the market. Pulled directly from my phone Just sideload it like you would any other application.
-Make sure "install from unknown sources" is checked on.
-Go into your favorite file manager find the apk and install it.
-There you go all done
***Chrome Browser does not support flash, the stock touchwiz browser does though***
Mods, i don't believe this is considered warez since it was never a paid app on the app store. But if this is somehow against the rules, please feel free to remove it and let me know
Disclaimer: I don't own this app, it was made by Adobe and then discontinued, i have simply provided a safe download link for anybody looking for the application so that they still have flash on their phone. I do not guarantee that it will work on your rom, and will not make any attempt to force it to work. Its the same application that was available on the market

Thanks. When jelly bean synergy drops I will be back for this.

If you are running jelly bean you can't. And if you didn't previously have it installed you can't either. This is so people who still want it can sideload it and get it from a reliable source
Edit, when I get home later today I'll upload it to a few more sites

Added a google drive download link and added the apk as an attachment as well

Awesome, I've been looking for this. Thank you for your time and effort in uploading this onto xda!

Adobe Flash Player 11 was OFFICIALLY dropped by Google and will no longer function on ICS and JB due to the fact Google is moving to HTML5. Only Gingerbread users are able to download the app.
Don't never ever install Adobe Flash Player on ICS phones and up.

I thought that it was because the legal confrontation between Apple and Google. Apple reached an agreement with Adobe, leaving Google with no flash player...
At least that's what i heard :S
cheers
EDIT: well, I meant that Adobe stopped updating it's flash player for Android for that reason.

No.. its just that, Adobe found flash player useless with the coming of HTML5.. With advanced tech.. flash player was no longer required..

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
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

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.
