No flash got you down? Try this fix

**grafx1** · 07-21-2012, 09:11 AM

Back normal! Luckily I still had my .apk file for the older version :-)

**joyslife** · 07-21-2012, 10:08 AM

Sock-Monkey Pete you have made my day!
I am a complete noob and I thank you for the clear and easy instructions for Flash.
I returned a Kindle Fire for my Nexus 7, and was so unhappy I no longer had Amazon Prime video or other Flash dependent sites. It is now the perfect device for me!

I pray for a speedy recovery from your injury.

Worked great for me - may thanks

I installed Firefox beta (15.0) after the two Flash APKs per instructed and it seems to work fine. CNN and ESPN videos work fine. The WordPress test link in post#1 is also good.

However, as some posts above mentioned, videos on ABC.com do not quite work as video images would come and go, and screen stays black most of the time.

Thanks! I installed Dolphin 8.5.1 and unfortunately it keeps crashing. I'm not a fan of FF.

For those of us who use Flash to access online games instead of watching video, what are the plans of the major browser developers to continue to support Flash in the next few years until all sites have converted to HTML5? I've installed Flash on my N7 and there are obvious problems with it now: slow responses, jerky motion, etc.

What browser are u using? if u are using FF, you won't have good luck. try Dolphin 8.5.1

Is there a setting somewhere in Aurora that needs to be turned on to allow flash? When I click on something that needs flash I'm promoted to update flash. I used both apks here,.one after the other as suggested but can't get flash to work anywhere and don't see anything about it in Firefox settings.
Thanks for any help.

It actually falls under plugins. I attached a screenshot for you. You will want it checked as enabled.

Got it. Many thanks. I was looking for something with the word FLASH in it but enabling plugins worked great.

It does if you set it up right. Download the Firefox nightly build fro their site. Googleing Flash for nexus 7 will come up with the XDA thread with all the details.

I used this method and it worked perfectly on my Nexus 7 tablet. I used the flash APK's listed on this page and then Firefox Beta from Google Play Store. Follow the instructions you can't go wrong, it's really very simple...Good Luck...

**droidatl** · 07-21-2012, 06:22 PM

Everything works great for me. Firefox is actually pretty fast. And flash works well. Thank you sock monkey!

**randall2580** · 07-22-2012, 09:42 AM

Not only worked on my N7 - but on my GSM GNexus as well! Thanks for the great help this is why I love Android - no problem remains so for very long I used Firefox Beta on both

**myhui** · 07-22-2012, 05:00 PM

How do I specifically get Dolphin 8.5.1 ?

**1812dave** · 07-22-2012, 05:08 PM

Google the apk, download and install after having flash installed

Thanks for showing how to get flash! But how do you know when updates are available for it and how do you update it when there are updates?

Being old and simple, some of these seem a bit complicated to me. I've downloaded the Flash APK's (looks like 11.1.111.5 is the latest I've found) but I've also got Sock Monkeys two APK's as well.

I also have the new Galaxy Nexus, which came with ICS, the stock browser, and Flash, all of which still work just fine. Can I get the google browser APK off of it and install it as well as the Flash APK and it'll work just like it does on my phone?

Phone is now running 4.1.1 and everything still works just fine, stock browser, flash, the works. Seems like this might be the easy way?

Thanks in advance (sorry about the foot Sock Monkey), but it is terribly handy that it's made you kind of a "captive audience"!

**DreDre** · 07-25-2012, 07:21 PM

For you guys who can't get ABC.com to work try Dolphin HD or aurora works for me

**corydorcutt** · 07-25-2012, 08:48 PM

Use the xscope browser. Plays 720p flash with the best level of smoothness and has the best loading speed.

Hey man, thanks for the hint about Xscope! Works like a charm, no magic or anything. Pops right into landscape mode, portrait mode whatever. Ditched Aurora which was flaky as hell anyway, along with the Firefox Beta from the Play Store. Only need it for flash, but it is a nice clean and simple browser as well,, may just switch over to it.

**tntdroid** · 07-26-2012, 01:55 AM

I went with the stock browser side loaded. Need to be rooted to edit a few apk file names but it works as if you were still on ice cream.
