[Q] Can't Play Flash with any browser

I've installed Wanamlite [ROM][CWM][DXLP9 Android 4.0.3] Deodexed Stock on my Samsung Galaxy SII phone.
I also installed Adobe Flash Player 11.1
---
But I can't play (see) any flash content via any browser(Stock's browser, firefox, opera) .
When I start Flash Player Settings Application I get this in Stock browser and firefox (attached screenshots)

Have you tried uninstalling the adobe update to see if flash works then?

you can try to uninstall it and re-download the flash.this may help if without any errors download.

what do you mean? how?
I think stock browser is in mobile view

My stock browser wasnt after installing a different ROM, just try it:
Open Browser, hit Menu - Settings - Mobile view.
Try switching it on, then refresh your page.
If its on, try switching it off, then refresh.

I don't have Mobile view in Settings.

well when you update apps via play store, when you uninstall them you can choose to just remove udpates instead of removing the entire app thus going back a version to see if that's the problem.

Then Im sorry, dont know anything else you can try. Maybe try a different browser..

[Q] Installing APK's in Liquid Smooth, ONE S S4

I cant seem to install any APK's from SD storage.
Just says not installed.
Are there anyways round this?

Have you enabled 'unkown sources' in the settings?
If its enabled, try disabling it and enable it again.

I have enabled unknown sources and no luck, but i will try disabling and re-enabling again to see if that works.
Thanks for the help.

Disabled and re-enabled unknown sources, Didn't work.
If I move the APK to system\app and changed the permissions to whatever they are supposed to be would that work?

Yes. You could also move them to /data/apps/, thats the normal installation location.

Worked a treat thanks

Great.. Weird that you cant install them the normal way though...
Just a thought, do they have any uncommon characters in their name? Like brackets or '&' etc?

how to install apk files on liquidsmooth v2.3?
Hi I flashed my phone (note 2 gt n 7100) to liquid smooth v 2.3 everything was smooth and fine but I can't install apk files no more. I read that you said that the apk file should be in the correct place android/data/apps but it still doesn't work for me. And yes I checked the box of unknown resources. You are probably busy but I would apreciate an anwser.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English.

Alarm Clock Extreme.apk
Does it matter, I tried few APKs, no luck

well some require root, some are system apk etc.
did you change the setting to allow apps from unknown sources?
They also may not be updated to work with 4.4

Yes i tried both tick or untick, but installbutton is not clickable.
could be kitkat.
can you try to install some apk?
thanks

Are you running some app that dims the screen or provides an overlay of some sort ? Turn that off if so.

Have you enabled 'unknown sources' option in security settings?

Because this is a common problem. LOL. It has been a 'safety' feature for about a year.

thank you for your advice, this really worked. But I do not get any rationale behind it?
Could you shed some light?
btw, I did some search on the internet, but I guess I need to dig in deeper
This is what Screen Adjuster developer says
What's New
v1.7
-notification bugfix
-the bug with apk installation cannot be fix due to it is related with the Android Package Manager
But what does it have to do with Pacakage manager and Screeen?

Android Package Manager prevents overlays from allowing installation of apks. If it weren't in place someone could be pretty malicious with overlays and actually get you to install anything they wanted and you wouldn't even know it. You would think you are clicking a button in the app but really you would be installing something bad.

Google Search versions were updated so most devices are on the same version rather than having different versions of Google Search on different versions of Android.
Find the .apk of an old version and install it.
Other than that, you'll have to use a 3rd party launcher or just deal with a simple change.

You may also need an older version of Google Play Services to use very old versions of Google Search.
You'll have to reflash factory images or reflash your ROM.
I suggest you just accept the change or use a 3rd party launcher, using "uninstall updates" on Google Search hardly ever works correctly.

Dear Lethargy! May I suggest that you predict scenarios like that, before you answer that kind of question. It is not fair to this guy.

I suggested he install the previous .apk version, I did not suggest he tap on "uninstall updates".
This is what happens when you do not read.

Yeah. I know that. And I read right your post. But you know that I've noticed that here is a lot of people that don't read. You could know that guy is impatient and would try to solve problem like that as fast as possible. I just want to say, that is good to be predictive and warning people about how important is also to understand, not just read.
Like you more and more, Zagor

Sorry Lethargy, actually u help answer my question without fault
i uninstall update is just due to i thought like this stupidly:
uninstall update -> means get a old version
Then i cannot back homescreen, and i restart my nexus5 and shout omg LOL
And i have flashed the official ROM before getting ur answer
Btw this is a great experience for me LOL
And actually the correct solution i found out is:
1. Switch off auto update
2. Download the old version apk
3. Uninstall update
4. Install the apk with adb command or with explorer

Super, that you fix it. Another way to fix problem like this is to install custom recovery and flash some launcher via zip.
There isn't anything better than experience.

I also don't know how to make flashable zip, but I figure it out, that you could do a little cheat on that (please, don't blame me). For example: take some zip allready made to flash some ordinary/little mods (you need to be sure that script inside is not written to delete something). Then just copy your files with wright path/directories and remove all you don't need. It works well.

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.
Cheers,
Russ

Can someone please tell me how to install Adobe flash ... to make such content work in either dolphin or firefox, please?
I'm new to all this, and I dont wanna mess up my tablet.

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.
