I am also mourning the loss of our favorite Adobe Flash Player in Play Store. Bunch of timids, I say! Give up so easily to that rotten apple? .. I know, I know, the whole html5's grand entrance... The thing is many sites (abc etc.) have not moved over and they do require flash. Not a win in my books!
Anyway, Tab 2 10.1" doesn't want to play any flash content after installing the apk. Tried even few different versions with no luck. Got the blue lego with "?". Does anyone have a definitive guide or procedure to make it work; preferably on default browser or chrome :fingers-crossed:. If that is not possible, can download another browser (ugh).
Try this version latest work perfectly in cm10 stock browser
http://db.tt/TSLOgKcR
If you are in jelly bean cm10 i think will work
If you use dolphin and it did not work try old version of it by side loading
Always make sure in browser setting to make sure plugin as always on
As i know chrome will never operate flash it is html5 browser
So try stock and dolphin or older version of it

Flash will only work with stock browser (or any modified versions of it like Dolphin) and Opera Mobile. Firefox and Chrome won't support it.

Got it working finally! Some content seems to hang though.. for example, watching Family Guy on Fox.com would work until the ads come. Sometimes it goes through them and other times, it just hangs. Anyway, it's better than not having it work at all. :good:
Flash works on my Samung Galaxy Tab 2
Hello,
I downloaded the version of Adobe Flash found in this link mentioned above. It is Adobe Flash Player 11.1-111115012.apk
I put it on my external SD card and then put the card into my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. I installed the app. I also downloaded the Firefox browser app from Google Play. Flash works in the stock browser and in the Firefox app but not in Chrome. I did not need to use the Dolphin browser app.
Oh, I have Model GT-P3113. I just bought it a week ago and it has all the latest updates.
I was able to watch a show on ABC's web site. I have yet to try others.
I hope this helps.

FYI: Chrome does not support Flash.

Dolphin has dropped flash support recently. You can use lucky patcher(Google it), and stock browser. Have had no problem with using official flash from its site to watch hulu, and others.

I use Firefox Beta available on Google Play and flash works fine with it also.

Do you know what version of flash I should download and where by chance?
Thx for the help everyone!
Yeah Mandi, you can go to adobe official website, and they have it there. You can also download an app off of the market that will do this for you. To make it easier, here is the one I got from adobe.

OK I have gt-p5113 which JB 4.1.1 was loaded today thru normal download update. When I tried to side load flash it will not allow me to click on the "install" button in the apk file. I can only hit cancel. I was trying to get this to work on ICS 4.0.4 and was able to load multiple versions of flash but never able to get it to work. Now I can't even side load. Does anyone have any recommendations? I have this working with Boat browser and JB on Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-710 but cannot get it to work on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.
Thanks

Hi, I haven't yet the Galaxy s3 but i want to ask you a question.. for me the flash player is important then I read that there is a possibility to install it because in the market android there isn't (i'm italian then in my nation this app isn't in the market)
then, it's secure install an app not recognized by the sytem? there is a kind of lag and things like this or it's perfect?
now, i want to know how i can install this,
1) first of all i must allow Unknown Sources when prompted or else it will not install
2) then I must download the file flash_player version 11.1.115.27, right?
3) finally run the stock browser
right? help me please
You don't really need flash. Just use chrome
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
You are right. Unfortunately adobe flash is not supported on android 4.0 so just use Dolphin Beta or Chrome. I was a big adobe flash fan but when I upgraded to the S3 it took me a while to get used to not having flash. I found Chrome (specialy the newest version) is not that bad also Dolphin Beta. I use the 2 regularly.

That is so misleading. There are still many sites out there that use flash that you can't view without using the now unsupported flash application and a browser that supports it, like the stock browser on GSIII. I use chrome, but occasionally call the stock browser for sites with flash.

HTML5 may be the future, but Flash is still very much the present. Don't let the Apple-esque mindsets tell you otherwise. Flash is necessary for a complete web experience. Get the Flash APK, install it, and enjoy. It will appear in your market under your apps afterward and will update normally.
I use the Android browser with it, and it works fine. As stated, other 3rd party browsers will work well with Flash, too.

How do I get it to show up in the Play store? I just manually updated from version .17 to .27, although Adobe's flash player test page shows it's still .17(?). Neither version of Flash player shows up in the Play store for me, under the installed or all tabs.
I ~believe~ the process I used was side-loading the Flash .apk file and using Astro file manager to install it. After that, it showed up for my S III in the Play Store.
Hmm. I used dropbox to put it on my sdcard, then installed through ES File Explorer. ES/Astro - same thing, right? Oh well, at least it's functional.
I have just bought a new Galaxy Tab 2 and was under the impression that it supported the adobe flash player but when I have tried to watch online movies it tells me that my device doesnt support these? can anyone help and advice me on how I can install the flash player or how I can get around it to be able to stream films online?
Thanks
On google now do a search for adobe flashplayer you will find a list of downloads based on version of android you have download the latest for 4.0 and above that would be any device running on jb ..GL !! Make sure you are on Adobes Official site there's also a video by a guy named lucidmike on YouTube he explains the process

Well you can install Flash but the is a reason for the lack of support. It is said that it is unstable, unsupported and drain a lot of battery. Even adobe dropped the app from Google Play.

Does Nexus 5 support flash player?
I cannot play any flash on my nexus5, even i installed flash player and used the browser other than chrome
how can i play flash on Nexus 5?
Flash support ended close to 2 years ago. Some devices still had it unofficially, but Adobe doesn't support it at all. You won't find it on the Nexus 5.
just install a browser from the play store that support flash, it should work..
anyway just browse without flash and you will see that you will never need it on today sites

Some browsers that support flash http://mashtips.com/browser-flash-player-android/. Maybe not all are optimized for KitKat but try them and keep the one you like the most.
I have installed Flash Player and Firefox (combination worked on Nexus 4), but no luck.
more and more issues , the apps aren`t updated yet for 4.4 i guess

It should work with Puffin Web Browser
Flash died a couple of years ago and someone forgot to tell the internet.
- Install APK, use different browser....

For reference
AOSP browser was the only one that worked for me with Jelly Bean. Don't know if it will also work with KitKat.
Confirmed Flash not working with Firefox, dolphine atm. Boat browser force close. Only puffin with built in flash works but 14 day trials, meh.

Never worked on my Nexus 7 after 4.3, so I don't expect it to work on much anymore. I can live without it, but HALF the sites I visit have it, and its pain to go to a pc to see it! Firefox is the only browser I found that it almost works on, but I find FF was to slow and bulky. Seems a real stupid move by Adobe.

NO ROOT REQUIREDHello all I just got back from overseas to find my Hulu + hack no longer works and Android has updated so much it does not include Adobe Flash anymore. The file system was so different on my Samsung G S4 Active running 4.2.2 I almost gave up on trying to get this to work.........well I never give up!! As you see in the video all you have to do is install it. I will still break it down.
WHAT I DID -
Almost everyone is familiar with modding the flashplayer.so file from AND to WIN. WIN only get's you to the Platform Not Supported screen. Well I took it to another level. I changed the same line to LNX 11,9,900,99 and the SWF line from 11.1 r115 to 11.9 r900. This yielded better results and came close to the latest player for Linux platforms. DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU DON"T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. Pages like Hulu or VEVO are checking the version of your flash player to determine your platform not the HTTP Headers. That AND 11.1 let's them know right off the back you're on android. Took a stab in the dark to figure this out. Maybe I shouldn't divulging this much but I want others to do it on their own. Shouldn't matter anymore since we will not get anymore updates for adobe.
**A note for those who are rooted who have a custom rooted rom with a custom kernel like me, I have Blackhawk kernel 1.8 for my Tab 3 7", the stock browser or any otherbrowser allows you to use this mod if it supports plugins. I'm guessing it will work with any stock browser in any of the custom rom that is rooted with a custom kernel**
Please read everything before proceeding !!NO ROOT REQUIRED (unless you had it preinstalled)!! Perform at your own risk. I am NOT responsible for your device!!
If you had the app preinstalled when you bought the device you will need to be rooted to uninstall it from the /system/app folder. After you have uninstalled any previous versions REBOOT your device. I would do it two times. I had to for my Samsung Galaxy S4. Don't know why......
Stock Browsers on phones like my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active do not support plugins anymore. FIREFOX is the ONLY apk I found that works with this mod on none rooted devices. This is because Firefox specifically points to the plugins folder while others only call for webview permissions to allow plugins. Please let me know if the apk does not work on your device or build. Please try Firefox browser with this mod first to ensure it works:
1. Download my mod here: ICS_MOD_FLASH.apk
2. Make sure you have install from "Unknown Source" is enabled in settings on your device
3. Install mod and enjoy
Only if you are rooted:
Download and unzip, then paste the plugins folder on your device in /system/lib it makes the video playback on HD more stable. In the old stock builds this folder was already there. It's not anymore.
plugins.zip
Sites That Work Now With This Mod:
HULU
Worldstar Hiphop
ESPN
Yahoo
My video showing what I did
Can someone tell me if this will install on 4.4, if not I will mod it to do that.
It works on 4.3 build I confirmed no root.
Getting this on 4.4.2
Also changed the permissions on the file. I'm rooted, just got this.

Is that a Firefox browser? The only browser I found that works with it is Firefox. If you are and you have plugin enabled on the browser then its back to the drawing board for kitkat.
Forgot to ask but you did install my modded apk right?

Hi, I've been messin around with this, and for me dolphin didn't work, flashfox didn't work. Maxthon didn't work, of course Opera didn't either.
Found a couple more that do though- Photon Browser and Boat Browser. I prefer Boat because Photon's UI sucks, and is more intrusive(hey, do ya wanna upgrade at start up), but Photons user agent options are more handy. Both latest versions got from G play store.
Didn't try FireFox cuz of it's size, am low on data, n can't move it to SD, phones already lagging. With Boat and Photon can be moved, plus cache to SD.
Questions, I'm rooted and put modded flashplayer .so in /system/lib/plug ins/ com .adobe.... and is working. Why is there also these in /data/data/ com .adobe....? Can I go ahead and delete these .so's?
Sent From Above Using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
Do not delete the data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer folder. That is where flash is installed like on a Windows machine program folder. You'll notice the other program folder are there to.

assume your modded .apk is just flash 11.1 blah blah repackaged with libflashplayer.so after using hex editor to make your two noted changes.
Could it be my ROM?
Does ESPN really work on your tab? Saw the example of Julu just asking
