CM7 Adobe Flash video is black

Anyone know how to fix this??? Tried 2 kernels, permission fixes etc... its always black.

Try one of the older versions of Flash. The latest 10.2 and 10.3 doesn't work for me either. I had to use an older version of 10.2 before the update to get mines working again.

none of these work for me on CM7 :-\

Can we get more attention on this extremely important issue? Flash doesnt work. only displays black video and audio is there
NOTE : im using a G2 so the problem is across the board.

To get Flash 10.3 working on the stock browser you need to do two things:
1) force stop the browser process
2) Remove all permissions for /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data
*Fix also works for Dolphin. Just change com.android.browser to mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
Changing the permissions restricts the flash plugin or the stock browser or the webkit or I dunno what from reading config.data. This file is screwing with video playback of anything over 240p.
What's weird is that the config.data generated for 10.2 and 10.3 appears to be identical, except for the ProductVer string. Since the file contains settings for h264 high, baseline and main profiles, there's probably some change in 10.3 to the way it uses this information.
Either way, this is a bandaid for those that don't wish to use Opera until the heart of the issue is found/addressed.

Flash works fine in Opera without any modifications.

To be clear that's Opera Mobile, not Mini.

Flash on the Photon Q

Sorry if this has been solved before with ICS, but I'm stumped. I had a Moto Triumph before this. It had Gingerbread, and I installed CM7 onto it. Rooted, overclocked, the whole nine yards. I tried to install Flash from Play but it said it's not supported in my country (WTF, thanks, Adobe!) So I found an APK elsewhere and installed it. Bam! Flash works in Dolphin Browser. It's pretty slow, but it works.
Now, I did the same thing for my Photon Q and its preinstalled ICS. Any browser I try, including Opera Mini Next, Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin Browser and the default Android browser, I just get a blue cube icon where the flash object should be. I downloaded an app from Play that runs .SWF files and it displays the exact same blue cube.
Is there a workaround that anyone is aware of? If Adobe doesn't start supporting mobile devices, I think we'll be seeing Flash replaced before very long. By an open standard.

Officially Adobe has stopped supporting Flash via mobile going forward....but I believe you can still download/install the apk for whatever the last released version for each Android version via this link (you'll have to scroll down to where it lists 'Flash player for Android 4.0 archives' and grab the one at the top of that list in the case of the Q):
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#main_Archived_Flash_Player_versions_for_developers

And that worked perfectly. Plays nice and smooth, too. Thanks a ton!

You're quite welcome....its not often I'm in a position to be able to help someone rather than being one of the ones asking questions but I was prepared on that one, I read that elsewhere and bookmarked it in my Photon Q folder for later use myself when I get one. I almost did this past weekend but decided to hold off still for now....then when I read in one of the other threads that Roam Control isn't (at least currently) working on it, that's kind of a deal breaker for me until that's fixed. Forcing roaming while at work is just shy of an absolute must unfortunately. :/

Jelly Bean and flash player still compatible!

Was I the only one who thought I'd lose flash capability after updating to jelly bean, because I didn't
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda premium

It is already known that side loading Flash player will still work on jellybean.

I had flash installed before the update and it works just fine after without any problems

Restored mine using using Titanium. No problems so far...

You guys who are side reloaded your Flash app, what did you do before hand, did you uninstall Flash from ICS prior?
I upgraded to Jelly Bean, Flash was already present in ICS beforehand and it's still present in Jelly Bean after the update. No sideloading, back-up/restore required.
Flash never worked in Chrome, but it's always worked in Stock, and there's a new browser that I don't think many may know about, but Mozilla has a new mobile browser that blows the Android Firefox away, it's called Aurora and it's the only browser where I can visit Youtube like it's a regular Intel x86 browser and watch Youtube vids and comment without ever needing the Youtube app.
Yes it's Aurora and it's from Mozilla that makes Firefox. It's everything Firefox on Android should be.

Had Flash installed before the update, updated to JB, flash is still there, works fine. (Chrome has no plugin support whatsoever, Flash didn't work there on ICS either.)
There's been a thread about Jelly Bean and Flash since 15 July in the Android General forum. Do your research, seriously. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336

Still in beta - not very stable. Won't stay open long enough to browse to flash sites to test it. Maybe not as compatible with 4.2.1.

Aurora is the alpha testing phase of Firefox. It's not a new browser.

I am using Cromi-X4.6.x
More often than not, Flash is unstable and FC's my stock browser, anyone else?

Haven't noticed any issues on Stock. Do you have Flash set to Always or On Demand?

JB works fine with Flash on my tablets and phones. Only does not work with stock browser and Chrome. Does not work on new Dolphin, but that is because the devs killed the function. Works fine with Dolphin 9.4.1 beta though.

You need to set it to 'on demand' in Stock, then it works.

Try setting it to On Demand. Might be be more stable that way.

Dolphin's newer beta with flash - bit.ly/10GcmeQ

The recently-released Next Browser (from the Go Launcher Dev Team) supports flash with JB, but it is kinda buggy. Seems to only allow one flash applet per tab.

[Q] Web browser.

Hi all folks.
I am wondering which web browser you are on.
And the point if you have adobe flash fully supported.

Running stock (which comes with cm10.1) and boat browser. Both are great, I just like to have a backup if some pages won't work properly. Everything flash related works just fine on both, boat maybe a tad better - I installed the latest ICS flash player *.apk, it's somewhere here on XDA - I could upload mine if you don't find it.

Thanks for pointing me in right direction.
Just have flash apk and found it somewhere on xda.
Now i am using stock rom on T-mobile software, which I am very happy.
Sometimes testing Opera 15 beta, but since doesnt support flash sites, wondering if to remove it.
Before I tried chrome (after using a while it was over 90 MB!!!) but was not fast enough.
So any other web browsers you have?

G2 stock browser supports Adobe Flash Player

The G2 (AT&T) stock Browser supports Adobe Flash Player. Just go to Adobe's Archived Flash Player versions and download the latest version under Android 4.0. It didn't work on the Galaxy S4 4.2.2 stock browser so I thought it was worth mentioning.
Remember this works only on the stock Browser. It does NOT work in Chrome. Chrome does NOT support Flash!
And make sure that the option Enable plug-ins is set to Always on in the Browser Settings.

Very nice. I'm jealous. The Verizon version only has Chrome, no stock browser.

Verizon and their stuff....
I love Chrome but sometimes I just NEED to see websites that include Flash content and its awesome to have the option to see them if needed.

If you're on Verizon you can still get the AOSP Browser and add Flash. I just did it, but I'm rooted and I don't know if it would work on non-rooted phones or not.
Install the [ROOT]AOSP Browser Installer from the Play Store. Ignore the warnings and have it install the AOSP Browser. Then go into your App maager and remove [ROOT]AOSP Browser Installer just to clean things up. You'll now have the stock browser that works fine.
Then just follow the instructions in the OP to install Flash. Works great.

On my Verzion G2 there is no LG browser... just Chrome (which won't use Flash). Other versions of the G2 use the AOSP browser. You can have multiple browsers on the same device... no problem.

Does Capture Plus work with this browser?

Also, I've been using Dolphin Browser and it seems to support all my flash needs as well give it a try.

Does International version support flash?

Another workaround (Works on Verizon)
I also have got this to work with Dolphin Browser on my LG G2 Verizon flavor.

Doet the aosp browser from the play store have the PIE controls you can swipe in from the left? I hate having that adressbar popping up when I scroll up.
I tried the aosp installer last week, but didnt get it to work. Also tried some other ways of pushing it, but then broke the default browser in the progress. Dont want to reflash my rom again, but if it can get me the PIE controls I will keep trying it.

I've got the international version and the browser seems to have lots of bugs. Double tapping a column of text doesn't always resize it or align it with the screen properly, after a week my bookmarks disappeared and refused to come back so I had to do a factory reset, now the top and bottom bars no longer auto hide. I like the browser because it has extra features not found in Chrome but it feels like a beta product. I'm going to give dolphin and firefox a go.

Hi there... I have a new D800 and am trying to get flash installed by following the above tips. Even though I've tried several times, it's not happening. Could someone please tell me which flash version in the archived list you were able to get working using the default browser, unrooted, on the AT&T G2?
Thanks.... I am very hard of hearing and need to be able to watch the ASL videos online.

It works now but only on some videos.

Thank you !!

Awesome. I had assumed that the stock player would have flash plugin installed, and when I tried to open a site with flash, was surprised to find that it couldn't handle it. Now I am able to. Thanks for the info.

AWESOME! Just wish I had seen this over the weekend when I was trying to watch college football on CBS while on my way to my outlaws! I couldn't get flash to work on anything.
I'm on Verizon and I just installed the Flash for Android 4.0 and this browser:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.android.browser
and Dolphin and both work just fine with Flash sites and the G2 has enough power to actually handle it. I have a feeling it would destroy battery life if used too much but for times when you need it, it's great to know it works, for now.

Not sure how many of you are Sprint users; but there was a software update released for the Sprint G2 last week that apparently (at least for my slightly disgusted experience) has REMOVED the flash capability from the built-in browser. Can anyone confirm?

Stock Browser KitKat
Verizon KitKat is missing stock browser, of course. Tried using the stock LG Browser from JellyBean, but it FC's. Does any variant have LG Browser on KitKat? If so, could someone please post the APK + ODEX files?

Good information.
