With the installation of flash, I was hoping to be able to watch games streamed from ESPN3. When clicking a link to watch a live stream, the player window opens, but it remains blank.
I tried this on the stock browser, and on Firefox mobile (fennec). Anyone else tried it?
My g-tablet:
Stock Tap'nTap with 1.01 update
LauncherPro
Rooted
ESPN on g-tablet
You may want to verify that your flash setup is working properly. I also have Tnt 1.01 + flash (folio apk), and ESPN3 live streams work fine for me. I'm watching Boston College vs. Texas A&M right now. The only difference is that my gtablet is not rooted.

How might I do this?
Does it involve editing the stagefright setting in the build.prop file? I seem to recall something about this.
What browser are you using?
It works for me in Dolphin HD on TNTLite 2.0 with the Flash fix.
Go to the adobe flash website (search in google for Adobe - Flash Player
Once the website page is loaded, if it's working properly, the flash logo will appear and it will tell you flash is installed successfully.
I'm using the stock browser that comes with the gtablet.
OK.
I edited the first line of where "stagefright" is listed, in the build.prop file. I changed it to "false". I rebooted and started the default browser. ESPN3 streaming is now working. I will also try it in Firefox.
I want to say that the quality of the streamed video is great!
Since I am a Linux user, flash video in general sucked. Mainly because Adobe refuses to make a Linux version that has hardware acceleration. I have resorted to booting an old WinXP HTPC that I have, when I need to watch a game on ESPN3. That picture was OK, with occasional hiccups. The video on the g-tablet is about the same. Since this is Linux based, I did not expect it.
Still haven't tried it on Firefox.
The video window still remains blank on Firefox Mobile. I guess it is a Firefox issue, not a g-tab or Android issue.
Does anyone know what the default browser is? I heard that it may be the Google Chrome browser. I installed Google Chrome on my Atom based netbook, but the video is horribly choppy. If I could install OpenOffice/LibreOffice on the tablet, the netbook would be history!
hi mates,
I am having big problems running video files on Opera mobile and sometimes on Dolphin browser... It could run almost all videos on GB ...
i tried mobile and desktop mode but even on a YouTube video it just turns BLACK where the video is supposed tobe and is not clickable...
I have latest Adobe flash player plus latest opera browser on ICS..
Is anyone else having this issue?
Noone has this issue??.....
No flash on ICS + Opera
I'm also having this problem of Flash not working in Opera in LordClockan's ICS 1.5, default browser was giving me 'Unfortunately not working' error message so couldn't try that so was wondering if anyone else has same problem or if there's a solution. I have latest version of Flash 11.1 which is supposed to work in ICS. Thanks.
Opera doesn't support flash on ics, yet - maybe never. Default browser supports flash a little but is flakey.
I have been having an issue with some embedded video sources that I think, in theory, should work fine. One of which is Penny-Arcade TV. Depending on the rom version I am running it will either try and load and say that it is currently unavailable (Normally on GB roms).The other alternative (normally on ICS roms) is getting a video placeholder (large square box with a film logo in the midde) but when it is tapped on I get a swirling circle that stops and still no video. I have tried the stock browser, Dolphin HD, the AOSP browser, all with the same results. I have tried with and without flash installed. Any ideas cos its starting to wind me up!
I'm running gedeROM 5/13 and every time i try to sign in on the amazon mp3 app in order to get my music from the cloud, I get "failed due to network error. Retry when you are connected to the internet" But I am definitely connected to the internet, anybody else have this problem?

Yes, I just tried (using the same ROM) and I am having the same issue too...
How many devices do you have authorized in amazon account? I get log in errors whenever I have to many devices (every time you flash a rom a new device is added) Try deleting some of them and see if you can log in.

Same here...
I get the same message. gedeRom v1.35, three devices registered on my Amazon account. Not too big of a deal as I don't use Amazon music all that often, but I sort of like everything to work properly.
I just figured out that you don't need the MP3 app. If you go to Amazon's website through your browser, you can access your cloud drive from there. I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner!

The new ROM that comes with the #11 kernel has it working again, FYI.
I installed the latest gedeRom 5/27 and still get the same error. It gives me the error when I try to go to the cloud player or purchase music from within the app and it asks me to login. I can still play music that is on my device from within the app. Also I know it's not the internet connection because I can stream previews of songs from the store within the app, just can't buy them.
Also I'm not having luck with flash and the cloud player from within the following browsers.
"Browser" - Will play but can't download to device
Dolphin HD- Page displays, but won't play or download
Chrome Beta- Page displays, but won't play or download
Opera Mobile- Won't even display the cloud player page
Firefox- Page displays, but won't play or download
I am still loving this rom and ics, but it would be that much better if I could get the Amazon MP3 app working.

I'm on 5/27 gedeROM right now, and the cloud player is finally working for me, I have no idea why it wouldn't work for you. Flash only works on the stock browser, I believe adobe said last year that they are no longer supporting mobile flash (so browsers like chrome beta won't have flash).

Actually, I think most browsers on ICS will support flash (Dolphin, Firefox, and Opera anyway). Newer ones, like Chrome beta will not.
Must be something in my twrp backup, just did a clean install of gedeRom 5-27 and first thing installed Amazon MP3 from market and it works. Then I ran restore in TWRP and started getting the error again. My backup didn't even include Amazon MP3 but obviously something in the backup is messing it up.
Oh well I will just abandon the recovery and install apps 1 by 1 from Titanium and the market. I'm just glad it's working.
what's causing you to have to restore your backups?
Got it working, I was an idiot and had messed with "autostarts".
OK so I download every adobe flash version all the way to ices and still no luck. My 4.3 version worked on my old phone but with my nexus 5 no luck I even switch in between browsers fire fox boat dolphin u name it! Still flash will not work have anybody else tried this? Or experienced this ?
Flash hasn't been supported on android since ics. You might be able be able to manually install it.
Nope sideloading it doesn't work either. Looks like this is the end of flash

using kitkat? ive tried every browser with .81 and it either crashes or doesn't detect flash. please share more about how you got it to work, thanks
I thought it was just because I was using ART but I guess we'll have to wait for a new version that works with 4.4
Using Boat Browser w. Adobe Flash Player (sideloaded) on Nexu 7 running 4.3.1 on-demand and it is great, no crashes or whatsoever.
Not with N5, however and Boat Browser is what I count on to watch streaming video over fiber @ home.
Probably need updating from the browser folks to make them get along with each other.
No go on my N5 with Firefox and Flash ver .81, tried playing videos from several sites and it didn't work

Okay, I know I am not crazy. Yesterday I swear I quickly watched a clip of a Prime video on Amazon on the N5 via Firefox Beta with the .81 flash apk. However, now now the Firefox Beta crashes as soon as it opens. I thought I'd try regular FF, which does open, but it says flash is not installed. The only devices I have in front of me are the N5 & the N7 & I am pretty certain I didn't confuse my forums/device yesterday, but I'll be damned if it doesn't work now, at least in the stable FF app. Of course, I guess it is possible, between a new device & the hospital & big UT Austin project we are working on. Damn it, maybe it's not such a good thing to order a new device while designing mechanical systems for critical applications.

thanks for the reply. like someone said earlier today, hopefully the browser devs figure it out soon. I used to use boat browser or dolphin basically every day to stream sports through websites like vipbox or firstrowsports. I found out that photon browser works but its a pain to deal with and not the smoothest since it u watch flash through a browser on their server. having smooth flash on boat browser or dolphin was one of the biggest reasons i switched from the iphone to android devices!
Flash on Firefox isn't working for me either.
I didn't install Flash Player but Flash animations seem to work with Puffin Browser.
Flash on Nexus 5
I've tried multiple versions of Flash and multiple browsers (including Firefox, Firefox Beta [which force closed], Boat, Dolphin, Chrome and Opera). None of them work on my Nexus 5 at the current time.
While Puffin works that doesn't really count because it's using a hosted version of Flash running through a proxy. Apart from anything else that meant I couldn't use it to access BBC iPlayer (which I have the app for, but was using as a prominent Flash site to test whether it was working).
I would much rather locally execute Flash, personally, so I'm not sure Puffin really counts as a solution.
Boat Browser released an update that's KitKat or 4.4 friendly, auto updated on mine and it also fixed the FC issue. My favorite streaming website is accessible again but I still have some issues playing in full screen mode.
Haven't got around to root it yet to restore mobile Adobe Flash's latest *.apk
I'm not having any luck with my nexus 5 either. If anyone finds a fix for adobe flash, please post. Trying to get flash working was one of the first things I tried on this phone and am jonesing to get it working.

Flash still does NOT work with Firefox or Firefox beta, kitkat on Nexus 7.
I need firefox because of their FVD addon.
This thread also confirms that no one can get flash player to work on Nexus 5:

flash was working fine in Firefox, Photon, and Maxthon on nexus 4 and 4.3.
doesn't work on any of them today after updating to 4.4
hoping browser developers will be able to figure it out since they were able to before.
puffin works great for most but not all sites.
and It's also the only one that allows you to stream a tv channel in one tab while browsing in another.
on all the others the stream stops unless the tab it's in is on top.
photon also has server based flash but you got to pay an annual subscription with them for that.
(correction: free with ads. subscription to get rid of ads. and some sites that don't work on puffin
work on photon. It also works with the streaming tab in the background)
why would you want a streaming window in the background? so you can listen to
various news streams playing in the background tab, or youtube, while browsing in the foreground tab.
android is useless to me without flash in one way or another.
No idea why if it can be included in chrome os it can't be included in chrome on android since
newer android phones are running more powerful processors than most chromebooks.

I'm with you on this one
Rolled back to 4.3 and blocked OTA on my Nexus until (hopefully!) someone finds a workround
V disappointed with 4.4 - not worth the effort for me.
