Re: Flash How To: Read this before posting a new thread about Fla

flash works great with Firefox beta.

I use firefox beta, is there much difference between that and normal firefox?

Nice guide, works awesome. I think Google discontinuing flash natively on the new versions of android is Google's way of trying to sway the internet away from flash even faster

Thank you so much, these instructions were so easy to follow (I am not very savvy with computer stuff and I am very new to the android network) Now my son can play his online games on the Nexus 7 we bought him for Christmas

Re: Flash How To: Read this before posting a new thread about Fla

Just got my N7 last week (end of November). Updated to JB 4.2.1 a few days later.
This is what finally worked for me. I used the full Firefox browser from the play store. If you already have Firefox installed, uninstall it first.
1. Download flashplayer 11.1.115.12 apk (the 4.0.x 11.1.115.17 release did not work)
2. Sideload the apk from your favorite file explorer app (I use ES File Explorer). If you downloaded the apk using a browser on your nexus 7 then you will find it in the download folder.
3. Install Firefox (not the beta)
4. Start the flashplayer app, choose to open with Firefox
5. Select local storage option and choose " only the sites I visit." (If you get only a blank page at this step then quit Firefox and try step 4 again.)
6. In the Firefox settings menu select plugins and then enable.
7. Navigate to a site with flash to test it out
8. ?
9. Profit

@cherrypita the dramafever site doesn't work because it is a hulu site and hulu blocks access to video content from mobile devices so they can charge you for hulu plus. Hulu can detect your device even if you use the phony add on on Firefox.

I think 11.1.115.12 is linked in this thread but just in case..

Archived version of the Android flash player apk can be downloaded directly from Adobe's website:

Archived Flash Player versions

scroll down to where is says "Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives"

On my new Nexus 7 32GB running 4.2.1, I used Firefox Beta and 11.1.115.12.. I didn't try the newer flash versions. Remember to Reboot.

If anyone is successful with 11.1.115.34, please post here..

Unfortunately, Dolphin Beta won't support Flash (it does on my Bionic with ICS) but Firefox will do...

I went a head and uninstalled 11.1.115.12 and installed 11.1.115.34 (then rebooted) on my Nexus 7 32GB, working fine with Firefox Beta

Re: Flash How To: Read this before posting a new thread about Fla

Hi all. I'm having the same problem as camperbc further up the thread when it comes to step #5. No matter what I do, no matter which version I try to install, the "Install" button doesn't work, although the "Cancel" button works fine. Yes, I changed the settings in security, and yes, I've tried it through other file managers as well. I tried downloading MediaMonkey just after I got the tablet, never could get that to work either, and noticed that was sitting in my downloads. So I gave that a try too, and guess what, the "Install" button doesn't work for that either. Does anyone have a clue what is going on here?

Re: Flash How To: Read this before posting a new thread about Fla

Hi, I used your instructions to install flash, they worked great. Thank you. But I am currently at another road block. I play Jigsaw World on Facebook, (desktop view) now that I have flash the page will now appear to load properly, but then stops and is completely black. Any thoughts on why? Thanks in advance!

I cannot get Facebook games to work. Any suggestions?

 

[emblaze2]

So...I have followed all the instructions & Flash seems to be installed, as I could see the animation on the test page, but when I try to watch anything on Amazon Prime, I only get a black screen where the film would play. The surrounding part of the page is fine & clear, & I've tried it on both Firefox Beta & Xscope Pro. Any thoughts?

XScope Pro sets Flash up for you. Simply beautiful.

 

[emblaze2]

Apparently, Dolphin is insisting I don't have Flash installed, but the test proves I do...

XScope Pro sets Flash up for you. Simply beautiful.

So I used X scope pro for an hour. And yes, it showed videos without making a deal about downloading or seeing up flash, but I had read on their description on Google Play that it also *downloaded* videos. Never did figure out how that works. I couldn't save any videos. I uninstalled it when I couldn't figure out how to save videos or even where to start.

Now that I think about it, the invisible flash setup was seamless. Maybe I was too hasty with the uninstall button.

KitKat has broken the device-based flash workaround outlined in this thread for good.
The only solution at this point is to use Puffin Browser which renders the flash content from their servers (rather than within your device).

 

[repligation]

Apparently the newest version of Firefox (Version 27) returns Flash functionality for KitKat.
You still need to have an older Flash apk on the tablet.

Firefox Version 27 Fixes Flash For KitKat, Adds WebRTC, New Languages, UI Tweaks, And More

Planning on testing it for myself when I get home from work today.

Update: I've learned that flash is black listed by mozilla for Nexus 7 2012 only, because of its video hardware. Nvidea tegra something. So dolphin browser is the solution for now.

ave an update for this technique? Because i have installed and uninstalled Firefox, beta, and Aurora, plus flash 11.1, and Phony plug in, at least 3x now and i keep getting the same grey box with Lego block.

I don't understand why it's so difficult to get flash in Firefox.
