is there a mod i can perform on my rooted atrix2 running ics 4.04 to allow for proper flash installation or is there a modified, recompiled version of flash player that will work?
The flash support from adobe is no more but if you install the app it kinda works(not completely though).Get a hold of the apk for flash player and install it manually.
Also you should have a stock browser to test the flash sites.Chrome doesn't support flash.
May the -Mass times Acceleration- be with you...

I downloaded the APK from the adobe archives in a few different versions and functionality was still minimal or nil.

What browser you using???

Try installing flash_player_11.1.102.59.apk + Boat Browser
[I'm using the stock browser and Opera. I'm equally concerned about apps utilizing flash.
Phoenix > I tried using boat browser since it is compatible with avast security, however I didn't really like the interface and it was loading pages slowly for me, while the stock browser is compatible w/ avast & extremely fast. i love opera, but avast doesn't scan scripts, etc. within it.

Ok so here is flash 11 which works with hulu by tricking it that the flash player is a desktop version. This mod is 100% the work of Vgeezy from thrive forums. i am just reposting it here.
Instructions:
1) Download the apk
2) Uninstall flash on the transformer
3) Install apk
4) Set user agent in browser to desktop (open browser-setting-advanced-user agent string- desktop)
5) Go to www.hulu.com and enjoy!
If these instructions dont work try this: (Credit Cowballz69)
1) Set flash to always on on the browser
2) Disable pictures to make sure you boot original flash in market (browser-settings-advanced-uncheck display pictures)
3) Play any flash video with original flash app
4) Uninstall flash from market
5) Install modded flash.apk
6) play any hulu video now
If your flash settings are set to on demand u must scroll down and click the green arrow on the right next to "share this video" to enable the flash. otherwise u can keep flash on always on in settings. (i hate flash ads so i keep on on-demand)
For a frame rate boost u can go to browser-settings-advanced-and uncheck load images (thanks cowballz69)
also if u want an easier ui to access vids some ppl prefer http://www.hulu.com/widget/player but i think that is better suited for smaller phone screen
if u are having problems and it doesn't work make sure you have the new 10.3 installed from market, install the modded apk over top of that then uninstall Flash again and then install the modded apk. (Thanks MonsterAndroid)
No luck here. Maybe I'm doin it wrong.

What is the error it gives u? Does it say platform not supported? or it needs higher version of flash?
works perfect. However please add this to instructions *must switch flash from on demand to always on

Ok will add tidbit about ondemand and pictures off as options. But u can still use with ondemand there is a little arrow next to share this video that allows u to turn on flash for those that hate to keep it always on to avoid pesky flash ads.
Does not work for me. Says hulu is not supported on my platform. Do i need root? I just tried installling on top of 10.3,it says not installed. Then i uninstalled 10.3 and used file manager to pull up the downloaded file and installed it. No luck.

try uninstalling the modded version again. reinstall the market version. then uninstall market version and try installing the modded version. Let me know if that works.
Make sure you hit all the x's on the tabs to close out of the browser ... you cant just hit the back button to exit, that will just put it in the background processes ... remember that. Once you come back in it should work.

I did this about 5 different times with no luck. One time my TF froze and i had to hard reboot. Then i decided to switch flash to ondemand, it had been on always previously. Dont ask why i did it, I just had a haunch. Anyways, it works now. I am not sure if it finally took or if changing the option made it work, but it works now. Thx.

Not sure why its working for some and not for others. Maybe for those who are having problems post what software build version u are using. I am on the 0423 build so maybe people who are on old firmware are having problems.
If u post as much specific detail about what the problem is and how ur device is set up maybe we can figure out a solution.
i'm on 8.2.3.9-20110423
I had flash 10.2 installed. put flash 10.3_hulu into a folder on my transformer.
uninstalled flash 10.2, then used Ghost Commander to locate the 10.3 & install it.
tried the stock browser, with the user agent set to Desktop... didnt work.
tried Dolphin HD with user agent set to desktop... didnt work.
rebooted. tried both again. didnt work.
uninstalled 10.3_hulu. rebooted. installed 10.3 (marketplace version). then uninstalled it. then re-stalled the hacked version. rebooted. tried both stock & dolphin. nothing. changed dolphin's plug-in settings from "always on" to "on demand." still nothing.
got angry. cursed out friends on xboxlive because I can. made angry post on xda forum. relived the horror all over again by typing this post
just tried installed the hacked one over the standard one. still doesnt work. uninstalled then installed hacked on again. still nothing.
Only way I was able to get it to work was by setting plug in to On Demand.
Got it to work on mine. Downloaded the .apk file and ran it from file manager. Failed to install first time. Uninstalled the stock version then reran the modded one. Installation completed then. Had to drop the show resolution down to 480. 720 was a bit to choppy. Biggest problem right now, is that the Hulu screen wasn't intended for a touchscreen interface.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
got it to work on mine but its laggy when its running on full screen.
Mine wasn't working with the apk from the older post...I kept getting the "unsupported on your platform" message right when I got into Hulu.com.
When I loaded this apk and followed the steps...I got all the way to choosing and watching a vid before I got that message....
but still no joy.
Hi.
So I find the stock browser a lil unstable in EOS JB. Flash doesn't work in Dolphin Beta in JB so I did some searching and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906341
This only applies to dolphin HD because in Dolphin Beta it seems they've updated all the file name schemes.
So to do the same on Dolphin Beta, go to:
/data/data/com.dolphin.browser.lab.en/shared_prefs/ - (probably requires root)
and delete the file that ends with "Browser_preferences.xml" It has a bit before that in the file name, but I can't remember it because I deleted it
It doesn't totally enable flash, just changes it to "on demand" in the settings so you have to click the little green down arrow to actually enable each flash applet.
Also I have no idea how this will effect other aspects of Dolphin Beta since I've literally just installed it and tested it. I'm not held responsible for any expensive paperweights you may create from your device by doing this - I suggest you backup the file before you delete it but I imagine worse case scenario is you have to reinstall dolphin.
Enjoy
Awsome, working great here
BTW the file name is " com.dolphin.browser.lab.en_preferences.xml "
Works well n4

I managed to have flash with my 4.4.2
Adobe flash is compatible with Firefox
Just have to install Firefox (a open a website that requires flash so you get an error)
Install the latest flash apk (not available though play store)
Test again and now flash should load
This is OK for most cases,but since adobe and Google aren't partners anymore,
If you need the latest version try puffin browser ( not free but offer a daily demo , like 5 hours,no ads)
The flash is processed on their servers,but is very fast too
Also there is flashfox (but I hate this app, only try if both of them fails(not free,lot of ads)

ty for your answer.
I used to use flash player with Dolphin Browser, the flash player apk was modified, i can't post a link to the apk.
but now it doesn't work well, i have a billion ads opening everytime, and when i try to watch a flash video (streaming) on full screen it crashes and reboot the phone.
I'll try again on a stock ROM and if it doesn't work i'll try with firefox.

the performance depends on you internet conection,but is very impressive (some times faster than chrome)
if you still have problems,just tell
and if i helped you,click < there on thanks
welcome to XDA
Does Hulu tell you your platform isn't supported when viewing in browser?
This MAY help fix that problem.
#1-it's not my work, check this thread for more info
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596936
All credit goes to @blunttedsmurf, so thank him there if this helps you.
The modified flash apk from that thread recently stopped working FOR ME. So I threw together a zip to get it working again.
What's needed
*rooted device
*kernel with init.d support(edit-or use SManager)
*busybox with cp applet
*flash player app compatible with your device(I'm on 4.0.3ics, but this method should work with 4.3 and possibly others)
*knowledge of how to install zip file in recovery
Why
The flash player app from thread listed above wasn't playing Hulu videos on Dolphin or UC Browser(although it was still working on android browser). I haven't tried other browsers that use native flash. Input is welcome.
What'd you do
I just downloaded the flash player that Dolphin(or UC- same flash) prompts to download when flash won't play- this flash works FOR ME on other sites, but not Hulu.
So I just replaced libflashplayer.so with the modified one, and FOR ME, flash works on Hulu website globally.
BUT, for me, doesn't survive reboot, that's why I've included an init.d script to take care of that. If you find the script won't run correctly(flash working), then run as su on boot with SManager. It's named zzzz(runs last) in /etc/init.d
Here it is- https://db.tt/E7hRYoZ1

Did you select auto play or tap to play in the plugin settings? If one doesn't work, give the other a try. The setting is a bit fickle.
Also, did you just place the APK in the folder? Have you tried simply installing the official flasplayer apk as an actual app?
(though I've swapped to Dolphin, the last few recent Firefox updates have made it painfully slow.)

I did, of course, install the APK. It would have been pointless not to. I did not tweak the plugin settings though. Websites I visit do not recognize that Flash is installed and will not even offer the Flash content. The problem with Dolphin is that many websites do not render correctly. Oracle support, for example does not render or work right with Dolphin. Neither do other elaborate support sites such as the HP server support system. That means that I must keep FF on hand for those.

1) Please make sure that Dolphin Jetpack is enabled in the Settings.
2) Download and install <a>this Flash Player(http://goo.gl/VMivpL) on the right top on this link(http://dolphin.com/lab/en). If you have installed the other Flash Player before, please uninstall it first.
3) Make sure that the flash setting in Dolphin Browser (Click Menu > Settings > Web Content > Flash Player) is on. Follow steps mentioned above and find out whether it works. I get it from their website.
