Does anyone know a way to add flash player to my nexus 10, which has jellybean 4.2.2 installed? My son tried to find something, but to no avail. He said he didn't think there is a download compatible with jellybean 4.2.2. Any suggestions? Please include steps if possible, as I'm not the most tech savvy person. Thanks in advance.

I posted this previously responding to someone who had an Asus infinity. I am sure it will work for a nexus 10 also.


Go to:
Archived Flash Player versions
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
Scroll down the page until you reach Android section, specifically "Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives"
choose Flash Player 11.1 for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.32). This is the latest version I know of, but if there is one with a number higher than 32 in the last two digits, select it to download. It will download on your Infinity.
You now have to sideload it to the Infinity. This is done by
1. Going to settings, security, and click to allow the installation of apps from unknown sources.
2. Open File Manager and search for the Adobe Flash Player .apk file you just downloaded. It was downloaded to my external flash when I did this. Click on Adobe Flash Player .apk when you find it. This will install the flash player on your Infinity.
3. Go back to settings, security, and click to disallow the installation of apps from unknown sources. You do not want your Infinity to continue to allow apps from unknown sources.
4. Your Infinity now has flash player installed and you will be able to use the browser to go to pages that require flash player.
Hope this helps.

PS Flash Player does not work with Chrome browser as I understand. It does work with the stock browser on my infinity. It also works with Dolphin I believe.

It does not work with Dolphin but it does work with Boat Browser. You will need to go into the settings of Boat and click on flash, you should have installed flash first as stated in previous post.

Thank you. I'll try this and see if it works. My son tried it with Dolphin and it didn't work so maybe we'll try it with Boat browser. Thanks again.. I'll let everyone know if it worked.

I would recommend Firefox, myself. It not only supports Flash, but also Adblock. Unlike most other browsers mentioned, it supports syncing, has a desktop version for all platforms, and is true open source. Being fast and stable is just a bonus.

Really help me with all the data here! Works fine with Firefox 19.02 and flash 11.1.115.48 you only need to enable the plugin option in ff under settings. I use a nexus 7 with android 4.2.2

HELP!!! I've tried several Flash downloads from this link as well as others. When I try to install it, I get an error message that says "App not installed." I do not know what else to do. Why won't it install the app. I already have checked the box to allow apps from unknown sources. Thank you in advance!

Hi I am new to this, but have managed to download the flash player, thanks to all the good advice, but then it asks me for a plug in! What is that? If any one has any help to offer I would be most grateful.

when does it ask for a plug in? When you try to view something with flash?

not sure if you decided on which browser, but I agree with the others who suggested boat browser. I tried dolphin, firefox, puffin, boat, and a few others. Puffin and Firefox seemed to freeze a lot for some reason and dolphin did not support flash. Boat is the only one that I found that would support flash and not freeze. I'm really glad I tried boat.

Some websites that ask for flash, are as slow as a snail.
Youtube is quite zippy though.

I just installed Adobe Flash Player from here:

Adobe Community: How do I manually install Flash Player on my Android device?

Everything works fine! I have not rooted my N10 either. I just followed the instructions exactly as written and no problems. Now I'm just going to make sure my N10 is on ac power, plug in the hdmi cable and watch whatever I want including live streaming from the web. Not sure if notifications will interfere with watching a movie though.

Cannot do full screen. My Hallmark subscription does not allow for any adjustments like you can do on Youtube. So no full screen or any other controls. Oops!

Why a/c power? Is that the only way you have found to prevent it from sleeping and killing the HDMI feed? I have reported that as a bug.
