[Q] Flash Player - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have just bought a new Galaxy Tab 2 and was under the impression that it supported the adobe flash player but when I have tried to watch online movies it tells me that my device doesnt support these? can anyone help and advice me on how I can install the flash player or how I can get around it to be able to stream films online?
Thanks

On google now do a search for adobe flashplayer you will find a list of downloads based on version of android you have download the latest for 4.0 and above that would be any device running on jb ..GL !! Make sure you are on Adobes Official site there's also a video by a guy named lucidmike on YouTube he explains the process

Well you can install Flash but the is a reason for the lack of support. It is said that it is unstable, unsupported and drain a lot of battery. Even adobe dropped the app from Google Play.

No go to google now and type in adobe flashplayer archives it has a full list including flashplayer for galaxy tab

[NEW] FLASH PLAYER 10.2 FOR ARMv6 AND ARMv7 (ARM11) ANDROID PHONES

HEY GUYS,
Earlier i came up with the surprise for ARMv6 & ARMv7 android phone owners with the Flash Player 10.1 which was a modded app to support low end devices, but the app was such a crappy one that it worked very much laggy for us and sometime users were unable to watch youtube videos
but now i have founded the best version out of all the flash players
which is 10.2 , (there is also a latest version modded i.e 10.3 but its not better then 10.2). this app comes with many improvements and comes up with more device compatibility
The new version of flash player comes packed in with some set of improvements like :-
Better app compatibly
Now support more armv6 devices
Comes in with Hardware Acceleration
More smoother Experience while browsing the internet
YouTube now works Flawlessly
Richer graphics and more FPS in animations
A lot faster the version of flash then 10.1
Now support Playing small games which do not overload processors
DOWNLOAD FLASH PLAYER 10.2.157.340
Download Flash player 10.1
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION-
DOWNLOAD THE APP BELOW AND SAVE IT TO YOUR SD CARD
NOW MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 'UNKNOWN SOURCES' ENABLED IN YOUR SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS
NOW OPEN ANY FILE MANGER LIKE ASTRO AND NAVIGATE TO THE APK FILE WHEREVER YOU STORED IT
JUST OPEN THE FILE AND CLICK INSTALL
NOW REBOOT THE PHONES ONCE INSTALLATION COMPLETE
( IT WON'T WORK IN OPERA MINI)
to get the best results try it on diffrent browsers
you can also download flash player 10.1 in case 10.2 does not works for you - DOWNLOAD FLASH PLAYER 10.1
Hmmm, about to try this on my old MyTouch3G....
EDIT: Hey it works! Youtube works just like youtube on the desktop. Video was a little choppy and took a few seconds to load but it did!
Games on Miniclip work too. Sweet! This old ass phone has learned some new tricks!
Working on HTC aria, rooted, cm7.1. Thanks alot!

Have you tried this one
Samsung Galaxy mini 2 | CM 10.1
I tried Flash 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and nothing. Did someone manage to get it work on S6500? (I'm using the jenad version so maybe it's S6500D).
Thanks in advance!
PS.: I want the official Twitch app to work. Now I only get sound but no video.

Flash Player no longer developed for Android?!

Brwosing BBC News Tech and I found this:
Flash Player exits Android store http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19267140
Anyone else know about this? Why are Adobe canceling Flash for Android cause of JB issues? Most people are using GB anyway....
Seems like you can't trust any major company anymore....

You can still download the apk from many many places including xda..
So, the removal of Flash from Play Store doesn't really matter much.
As announced directly from Adobe, Android will no longer support Flash Player to the latest version of the OS and then Google came home on devices not just the Flash Player.
Is not officially supported, but that does not mean that Flash Player can not be installed on our device with Android Jelly Bean 4.1.
Here, in fact, a small guide to follow to install Adobe Flash Player 11.1.115.12:
1) Download the file. Apk of Flash Player:http://www.mediafire.com/?lqxd6qnr63kj2t1
Download the file flash_player version 11.1.102.59.apk:http://d-h.st/o1I
Dolphin Browser HD 8.5.1 APK (Supports Flash):http://d-h.st/3ZS
2) Copy your files to the SD card of your Android device. (Be it tablet or smartphone, it makes no difference)
3) Install it using any File Manager.
4) Start the Browser
5) Go into the Browser settings and uncheck the option of Flash Player (on demand or always on at your discretion)
6) Finally you have the latest version of Flash also Android!
NB Adobe Flash Player is not officially supported and therefore the speed of loading of Flash objects in HTML pages is not guaranteed at the highest levels. However, as tested, Flash Player behaves well with satisfactory results.

This is VERY old news, Adobe made the anoucement back when ICS was released there is no need for another thread :/
It would be nice if Flash died (except for already-created games/animations). HTML5 YouTube player on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 works great and doesn't affect performance much. Flash Player is a battery hog and is only really there for compatibility. A lot of sites are designed for the iPhone, which doesn't do Flash. When you think about it, very few mobile-capable sites use Flash.

Flash player is outdated now, it's a good thing to be abandoned
Interesting..
I think you can still download from other places
Yeah you can still get it, but it's sad that development has stopped. Flash for android is such a plus for me.
it is so bad
look! I think the next generation of smartphone is intergrated HTML5. Adobe flash player isn't all we think about on android. It's good. But it's done

They have a working version that works on jellybean
Found that post in playstore, but you can still get "flash player install" for free, and seems to be the only way to get it too.
I m happy about it, flash is terrible eater even on notebook, hopefully is flash slowly diying.
I always have a saved apk file from my older android phones uploaded to dropbox and add to any new phone I get.

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
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
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.

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.

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

[Q] Flash Player & Jellybean ROMs

I've come to realize that flash-based media is not supported by adobe while on jellybean. I came across a post somewhere on the boards which had me install a specific adobe flash player 11.1 apk, but still the video/browser (dolphin) crashes.
Will there be any development or integration of flash player in any jellybean+ ROMs? Its sad to see that android once had the flash advantage over the iPhone and now adobe isn't supporting us anymore!

I've found that using xScope browser works. When starting, it will take you to xda for download if flash player. I've backed it up using TiBU and just restored after every wipe.

Just search "flash for jellybean" or "jellybean flash player" on the play store...there are apps that download the appropriate flash version...
No they won't be integrated on any jb build as devas can face legal problems due to not having permission from adobe to include them in their ROMs...just like Google threatened to sue cyanogenmod for including gapps a while back, because of that we now have separate gapps to flash on top of cyanogenmod and other aosp roms

[Q] Hulu on Nexus 5 w/o Hulu Plus

I remember many moons ago there was an XDA thread on how to get hulu running on my Droid X1/2 (Froyo/Gingerbread). It involved a flash apk, etc and able to log into hulu site and watch from stock Android browser.
I now have a Nexus 5 (rooted, no ROM), I tried logging into the hulu site to play my queue but the site says that it requires FlashPlayer v10.1.53.64.
Is there a way to watch hulu (free version) from Chrome browser (or other) on my new device?
