anybody have a fix for downloading things from xda and other sites? when using chrome and trying to download something it opens the stock browser and loops between chrome and stock browser not downloading anything. and when using stock browser it starts to load the page, stops, and closes the browser completely.
If you on an at&t based Rom you can go in app association settings and set chrome to default web.

same with stock as well. i end up saving the link and having to use turbo downloader
I've found going to settings and selecting the ask for desktop version will typically get you to the download. In chrome and stock browser

So as we are all aware Adobe said they wouldn't support flash in Jelly Bean, as stated here - http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/375574/adobe-kills-off-flash-for-android
Of course on the Jelly Bean ROM I'm running flash doesn't appear in the market, but when I installed the apk, flash worked perfectly on a number of websites.
Just out of curiosity I was wondering if anyone knew the reason as to why it still works?! This is not a huge update to ICS so may be due to that but I was just being interested and wondering. Anyone have any insight?
Cheers guys.
EDIT: I have attached the adobe flash apk, the latest one. Install it on your device manually if you're running jelly bean and flash should work. Although I think we have established it will only work in the default android browser
They've only stopped support, doesn't mean that it won't work but if it doesn't on certain devices then they won't fix it or support it, because it's not a massive update there's a very good chance that it will work.
Basically the apk is the android software, the Google Play store filters out Adobe flash because you are running Android 4.1 jelly bean which explains why you cannot find it in the Google Play store.
When you install the apk, it will still work because Adobe have only stopped support for it, they haven't disabled it or blocked it. The term 'support it' means to give the product updates and provide help for users. Adobe are no longer providing updates (apart from security updates) and help to users for Adobe flash on android.

Ya it only work on Browse default by G. Opera work on the Opera for mobile not Opera mini.
I've added the latest adobe flash apk to the OP so people running jelly bean can get hold of it more easily
I tried the apk. In 1st post I still get messages telling me to install a flashplayer . Any ideas

I'm not sure exactly which of the linked apk's I installed, but Flash is running fine in Stock Browser.
I never got flash in Firefox and didn't try any other browsers.

Use the stock browser. If you're using any other browser it may/may not work/may work slightly. But the apk in the OP is pulled from my motorola xoom and i have it installed and it was working on youtube and various other flash sites through the stock browser.
Dolphin HD browser won't load flash (and has a nasty nag screen if you try to enable it).
Many thanks for the information from here and other sources, as a result of which I've managed to get Flash sites working on the Nexus 7. In case it helps the non-technical, I've blogged full step by step instructions with screenshots on how to install Flash on the Nexus 7 and set up browsers (with link back to this thread), at my blog at consumingexperience.com (sorry, I'm new here so can't post a working link direct to the post).
I've tested several browsers and listed the results and browser settings in that post. Mainly I've tried them on UK TV catchup sites ie BBC iPlayer, 4od, Demand Five, ITV Player.
In summary, generally on the Nexus 7 I found Firefox Aurora (with the Phony add-on) and XScope to be the most reliable so far. An older version of Dolphin does work, but not as well. I couldn't get either Opera Mobile or Opera Mini to work.
Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this! I had another apk that everyone claimed was working fine but I have the CM10 preview build for Verizon Galaxy Nexus and couldn't play any videos until I tried your apk.

Ok what do you guys mean when you say default browser, mine only came with Chrome... Am I missing something or are you guys on a non-stock rom?
I have just GEDified my non-USA Xoom and and am enjoying ICS.
Much smoother and I think the screen seems clearer and brighter
However I am just getting used to Chrome and have noticed some sites with video behave differently on Chrome compared to the stock browser.
On Chrome I get an error message saying I need Flash 9.0 or higher and on the stock the video plays. I have Flash 11.0 installed.
Any ideas?

Ignore this. I've found the "answer" but not a solution on another forum. All very confusing.
If anyone is interested, the answer is: Chrome doesn't support flash.
Does it if you side load on JB?

No. Adobe will only allow it on the stock browser, not Chrome.

It is but you can download the ICS stock browser in JB through the market then manually download and install the flash APK to get flash in JB. It will never be available in Chrome mobile unless adobe make a big backtrack on their current policies.
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.

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

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
Boat browser?

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.

actually, i hv installed many browser that claim they support flash player
however, none of them work! and some of them got force closed
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.
