Dolphin Browser HD now has Flash!

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.

Modified Flash still no Hulu.

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.

[Q] Adobe Flash Replacement

Hi guys,
I had heard of it, but never really experienced it. The main feature I could annoy Apple fans with is now gone. Flash is not availaible for Android anymore.
I just switched to ICS and realised it's not avalaible to my chrome browser.
I searched the web to try to find something to replace it, but haven't anything yet.
I understand that HTML5 will eventually replace flash, but what about existing flash application? There's no way to run them anymore except switching to an older browser? There must be another workaround. what you guys use to run existing flash application?
Can't believe i'm at the same level then apple fans now
P.S. If there was already some threads about that, sorry to repost. This forum is so huge, can't see everything.

Chrome will NOT and ever support flash. However other browsers (dolphin or FireFox) still do and getting flash is as easy as downloading an apk and installing it

I confirm it, after installing the apk of flash there's no troubles, excpet for Chrome as it is not supporting flash. I personally use Firefox for example.

Corrupted downloads through Google Chrome

Every time I want to download a .pptx file through Google Chrome it says file download completed, but when I try to open it through quickoffice, it says file corrupted. If I download the file through dolphin browser it works fine. Anyone else having this problem? Also, on a side note, anyone else finding the new download screen with the loading bar that takes up the whole screen on Chrome unbelievably annoying? Thanks in advance!

Yeah Chrome is exceptionally well at downloading corrupted files and has been for a while. Especially with anything android related. I generally use Opera Classic browser for downloads, Dolphin browser is pretty good too.

And specific fixed that you know of? I'd rather not have to completely switch browsers. In fact, just last month, Chrome was working fine for me. Ever since the update that made the download screen into the loading bar
(Pic 1). I've been having problems (Pic 2).

Unfortunately no I don't know of a fix, next update hopefully. I've had issues using Chrome for downloads only quite a few times. Like any time that I've downloaded any ROM with Chrome it's corrupted. I definitely prefer Chrome as well and still use it daily. I really only use Opera Classic for downloads. If you download a lot you could check out Opera Mini, it's a lite weight version of classic.

Ok thanks. Good to know I'm not alone I'm gonna leave the thread open a little longer just in case anyone else has any fixes we've overlooked. Thanks for your help

Lollipop Browser?

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.

Atlas

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.
