Flash player freezes and crashes every browser. Most of the time it just blacks screens and you g no video. I have tried using dolphin with jetpack, browser, photon and flashfox, chrome, and Firefox. I'm about ready to snap ,y tab in half. Everything was working fine until 4.4. The worst of all time. I'm using a nexus 7 with 4.4 and I have a lot of stuff I don't want to get rid of by flashing back to 4.2. Help me, I've tried desktop mode, I always enable plugins etc. But now I can't even watch a video (browser name has stopped working. I'm pissed off and I can't do much more on my own. This is b$ and I cat handle it, help me help me. This is my main device, has all hope been lost? Do I need to find a Google HQ ad go beat up Some tech and torture them until they are begging me for forgiveness? What do I do I'm freaking out.

my market shows it but it fails to download everytime. if someone has an .apk available for manual install that would be awesome.
Here it is: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1611645/Adobe Flash Player 10.1 10.1.72.4.apk
I tried it. Pre-update, flash videos were a little choppy. Post-update, they're as smooth as silk. Well, the ones I tested were. I've heard of some people still getting choppy playback.
As for the above mentioned issue of flash lagging sites out, change the plugins option to 'on demand' in the browser settings. Then flash content will only load when you want it to load.
The new update fixed a lot of issues. I have re-enabled Flash now...
Ive been using its, some of lag has been finxed, its more fluid i find.
Still doesn't work in xScope. =(
hardware accelerated so it's smoother. long tap to full screen works good.
sites tested using nexus one froyo:
m.flash.com
nba.com
espn.com
justin.tv
channelsurfing.net
I wouldn't say it works good. It works, but I'm a long way from impressed. Long tap works 1/4 times, the other times you get some strange results. Either nothing happens, the video stops, loads another page etc. Playback is usually very choppy or laggy. channelsurfing.net was choppy and justin.tv barely played at all.
watched episodes of house on justin.tv on 3g and it's smooth on fullscreen mode.
could be there a reason I can't find flash in the market? It was there till the other day...

ONLY available for the Nexus One Froyo release. Not available on the market to Droid owners who are on Froyo. DAMMIT!

It's still not hardware accelerated but it is smoother. They fixed some memory leaks and did minor optimization.
The major change that I really liked was the fullscreen option on long tap. It makes interacting with flash much easier.

justin.tv plays great for me, very smooth!
I picked it up in the market a couple of days ago - fancast works perfectly, as do any sites that pepper me with Flash ads. Oh, and Disney's site works as well.
[ASIDE]
Is it just me or does Disney employ half of the world's Flash devs? ESPN, Disney, ABC sites are all brimming with the stuff. [/ASIDE]
is there anyone that can upload the apk, I still can't install it off the market even having reverted back to my stock install with no root/oc/uv enabled, fails at the install every time.
edit: nevermind, found it in general
Just thought I'd share
w-w-w.youtube.com/watch?v=D9BjC5NeQog
(Still can't publish outside links)...don't trust the link, I completely understand. Go to YouTube search: G Tablet ESPN
Should be the first hit.
Running:
VeganTab 5.1 Beta
DolphinHD Browser
Adobe Flash Player 10.1.120.5
Didn't work on the stock browser nor Opera, I don't know why. Although I also didn't spend a whole lot of time trouble shooting the other two browsers.
I think that's it.
Thanks to everyone here who made the G-Tab a useful device.

I've been enjoying games on ESPN3.com using the Skyfire browser. Love it. GO CUSE!!!!
ESPN3 has been working fine here since the December 24 update, and is still OK with the 3389 update. FWIW the live feeds at RT (Russia Today) (rt.com and rt.com/usa) also work very well; I was watching their coverage of the airport bombing about 15 minutes after it occurred (CNBC broke the news very quickly). And for those who believe Rush (rushlimbaugh.com) is right, my subscription to his live video feed and past programs also plays well on this stock gTablet. The broadcast audio feeds on radio.com also are good.
this is what i use to play hulu in full screen
Open the native hulu app
menu
preferences
orientation- set it to any
now just play any video rotate your phone and use your two favorite fingers and zoom to your liking. Enjoy
Thanks dude that works. My only problem is that hulu is laggy. Do you have the same problem? I know it's not my internet, I've tried over wi-fi and I get at 10mb down. I'm running sky ics 6.7
not lag at all on my end, but at the beginning it would start to show the video and it'd go away, so I re-installed the hulufied flash player and no more problems since then, I'd also recomend updating your rom to the newest by seanz,
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2511573
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.
flash is working fine for me, i use lastest firefox, and phony extension, and latest flash from that xda link
its good for viewing www.hockeyfights.com videos
I have a xoom UK WiFi. I'm running Omni 4.4.4 (I think).
I have an issue where any video I watch in any browser doesn't work properly.
Chrome/Chrome Beta crashes when I try
Firefox plays the video sound is fine but frame rate is like 0.5FPS
Stock Browser black window unless you go full screen, then it is the same is firefox.
Videos play fine in the Youtube app or from a file
I did a system update a while back and I think this is what screwed it up. It definitely worked before.
Any Ideas how to fix?
I am not sure the cause, but I have the same issues (with the exception of the 0.5FPS issue). If the videos work in Stock Browser, they play at the proper speed - sometimes I have to full screen them, other times not.
The resolution I've found for videos that do not play properly in the stock browser is to use Dolphin Browser and ensure that Flash is installed.
Chrome - I was having too many issues with it crashing/freezing (irrelevant of videos), so I gave up on it quite a while ago.
I haven't used Firefox enough to comment.
