For those of you that pulled the trigger on the official sprint update and lost the flash capability of the custom roms, there is good news. I found Dolphin Browser HD in the market and it runs flash content better than any browser I have seen thus far for android. Check it out, I was pretty excited to see this.

hmm really? like real inbrowser flashh?
It displays my website that requires Flash 10 and the default browser with the official sprint 2.1 won't. I like the look of the UI too.
Sweet. I'm gonna check this out.
Are you sure about this? I've been using dolphin browser for a while and I've never got flash stuff to work

You know this has got to be an fluke of some kind. I can run flash content on my Dolphin Browser HD with no problems. I can't run flash in the default browser.
Last night I installed Dolphin Browser HD on my wife's phone and her phone says she needs to download a flash player to view content. I have tried over and over to get hers to work and nothing, but mine works. I have no idea why. Is there a way to do screen capture video on these devices so I can show you?

Change your user agent to desktop.
it works when user agent is Android too, but a lot of pages default to mobile, so changing user agent helps with that.

Even Hulu loads (not the movies though, just says not available for your platform)...the user agent string for desktop can't be changed in Dolphin by chance, can it? Not that it would be much use on my Hero anyway, it seems pretty slow.
I tried both user agents on my wife's phone and it won't load flash, but mine will. I still can't figure out the difference.
Wouldn't work for me.

Aye works in DolhphinHD. For IMDB at least...Some other sites want me to open the flash content in another app...
why can't i play movies in You Tube with Dolphin HD?
flash plays on android 2.2 or above.
I've been wrestling with the Flash issue for months. I tried SkyFire and that doesn't work, tried Dolphin HD and that doesn't work, Youtube App doesn't work, Hulu App doesn't work. I'm pretty frustrated but I'll uninstall Dolphin HD and download the latest from the market just in case and try it again.
I managed to find a Flash 2.2 APK and it works about 15% of the time so it asks for an upgrade to the new Flash Player. It sucks we don't get native Flash on teh Hero as I use this now as m daily business phone.
Posted this in General but did not hear anything. I dont mean to spam. Just looking for a solution.
For those who have an android phone running froyo your probably aware that hulu had blocked their site from android users. Generally in the past there were methods around this which involved installing a modified flash.apk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688054
Okay so I went ahead and removed the previously installed flash apk (use root explorer to do it) then I use adb to install it. The next step involved using the debug mode in the browser to make our seem like it is a desktop. Well when I type about:debug in my browser and go into the settings there is no option to change it to desktop. I only see these options:
So my question is, how the heck do we get hulu working?! When I used skyfire to and switched it to the desktop view, it said I didn't have flash installed. Any ideas?
update:
okay so i found a thread on XDA that seemed to get me a lil further but not where i wanna be.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...794512&page=12
this thread suggest that you just install the latest flash.apk and just replace the lib file they give u with the one that comes preinstalled. doing that gets me an error on hulu:
"Unfortunately Hulu is not supported on your platform. We apologize for any inconvenience."
Before, I just got an error saying that they are gonna bring hulu plus to android but thats about it. yes i changed it to desktop and even tried it on skyfire. nothing.
anyone?

Ive gone through the same steps ( own a nexus one and had hulu running fine) ran into the same issues on the tab. Hulu is on it, they dont want mobile browsing on the site without paying. Channelsurfing.net and atdhe.net work on the tab just fine.

Thanks for the sites but unfortunately it doesn't have my anime. I'm following a new series and its only available through funamation which posts everything on hulu. Would really love to get this working.

Running 4.1.2 and have flash player 11.1 installed but when i try to watch a movie online it says "flash player not installed" is it just me or does it just not work anymore even being installed from an APK file?
I remembered reading somewhere that flash player doesn't work on some browsers. For example, it doesn't work with Chrome.
Flash is not supported on android starting with Jellybean.

I'm in agreement with bkoon. If you happen to be using chrome or another browser, have flash player installed and are receiving that message try the stock browser and you should be fine

It was actually not supported starting with ICS 4.0.hmm... was it 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 when they officially cut updates and made it no longer available?
But yes, it was still ICS when they said no longer available and the various browser apps stopped supporting it.
Positive note, if you're still holding on. Lightning browser will try to support it, is free, and tiny. Negative note, if you look at both sides of an issue. It warns you that Flash is not really stable and will probably crash.

Updates continue for "approved devices" (basically those that originally shipped with Flash) for Android 4.0, but not present on Market/Play any more.
Definitely working in Boat Browser for me, though not reliably as a system app, for some reason.
Somebody showed me this browser that has flash support built in.

I tried installing the apk from the m7, but it didn't work. I also really liked the stock browser.

One of my HUGE problems with this phone. Stock browser on my DNA was awesome. Chrome sucks.
Hello...no HOME button!?!? Also, I may be different..but my phone is my phone...I don't need all my bookmarks pushing to every computer I ever log into Chrome on..I hate that.
Also...it's thoroughly annoying in order to alphabetize my bookmarks I have to do it from Chrome on a desktop or laptop...
HTC stock browser MUCH better in my opinion.
Once this thing is rooted and S-OFF I imagine we can install the browser.apk from the M7

I would think and can almost say i'm sure that the intl. version of the M8 has the stock browser. It's the damn US carrier versions that don't, makes sense right kind of like leaving out the htc flashlight app too and all intl versions have this! Maybe when we get the software update with power save modes it will come or we're SOL until root and custom roms come out. Read earlier that it IS on these devices but carrier hides them and without permissions we cannot UNhide them.

It comes with chrome, which awesomely syncs all your bookmarks.
But you can download Opera, Dolphin etc. Plenty of choice.
Out of all those choices, why would you want the HTC one? Its the first thing I replace when getting a new phone.
I really like the stock htc browser also. Anyone know if it will be possible to load it without having root?

I honestly found the stock browser to be far superior than any other browser available.
I'm sure we can just use the system dump from att/tmobile/sprint (if they have one) to pull the apk
EDIT: The browser is in the Sprint HTC one m8 dump, but I can't install it. It needs to be pushed to system

Lol..yeah the first thing I love is to have my bookmarks on my phone synced to any thing I ever log into...awful idea lol
The fact that I can only alphabetize my bookmarks by logging into a desktop or laptop..epic browser fail
No home page button..epic fail..
Opera Firefox and whatever else suck worse than Chrome.
I'm dealing with it..but the Htc browser is far superior
I too like the stock browser and was pissed when I realized it wasn't there. Chrome sucks. Been trying different browsers and someone recommended Boat browser. That's what I've been using and it seems pretty good so far.
I guess we'll have to wait until jcase publishes his root method so we have access to the system folder.
I try to push the browser to system/priv-app but when I reboot it don't show probably because the root has to activate every boot

After the reboot and root kicks in about a minute later, does the Internet app then show up and work? This is my concern with this root method, it is a form of "rooting" but with the reboot feature what root options/apps/tweaks will actually stick and work?

Yes I read up in the Root thread by jcase, Thanks
Its also not going to work because of conflicting provider error. just grab one from a vzw rom, sign it then adb install it . it will show you the error
I initially gave up and just decided to settle with using Chrome.. until it randomly wouldn't open mobile versions of pages, crashed, and wouldn't let me log in to pretty much anything. I then gave up and started using Firefox.. I do still like the stock browser better, but seeing as how I don't have it, Firefox is doing the job pretty well for the time being.
Still hoping someone can make this apk work.I know this is a dumb question but what prevents this apk from being able to be installed like any of the play store browsers.Is there a way to modify it to be installable.

Just a guess (I'm not a dev) but I'd say that it's a system app and we can't write to /system as of yet.

What browser is everyone using after the Lollipop upgrade? I was on Dolphin, but it's very laggy and no longer supports flash. Switched to Naked browser which is much smoother, but still no flash. Trying Puffin now, good flash, but a little laggy. Main reason for flash is almost no Facebook video will play without flash. Frustrating to have to turn on my PC to watch video.
Any other browser's any good?

If you get webpages that won't load after using adaway, that you feel shouldn't be blocked, you can add it to your whitelist.

CM Browser. I had some issues with it on KK but it seems they fixed it now. It's fast, has a nice UI, a fullscreen mode, a home button and an exit button. That's pretty much everything I want/need.
I actively use adaway. It seems to block ads in apps and in Firefox and cm browser but not chrome.
Now I use lighting browser but I prefer aosp browser but it doesn't work on lollipop.
Try javelin. It blocks ads natively and has material aspects

There's a "get flash" guide thread in these n5 forums. Forget if its general or q&a.
I'm using Firefox. Is it just me or its actually slow compared to Chrome. It won't open links that readily load on Chrome.
I was a Firefox guy for the longest time, synced between my laptop, tablet and phone. But I've had it, I always put up with the lack of speed but it's just so frustrating. I can't believe reviews of Firefox when they call it fast.
I switched everything over to Chrome. The address bar isn't nearly as good as predicting what website you want compared to Firefox but it's much, much faster and I welcome that.

There's only one flash apk. Flash is unsupported on android. There will never be a new version again. We must always try to modify the ICS version.
Who knows if it will work on lollipop. I dont even think dolphin works on lollipop. Anyway, there is one apk and one guide only. If you know about it already. Then you know as much as everyone else

if you use data compression, adaway will not work. data compression makes chrome go through a different web server, thus, adaway does not block ads. opt out of compression in chrome and ads will be blocked.
