Flash Websites with Nexus 4?

[life4eva]

How can I do it, I noticed my older metropcs phone can view flash websites. Is there any way to watch flash content with this phone?

Thanks

Different browser maybe? Tried dolphin HD? I'm fairly sure chrome doesn't do flash

First download a file explorer from the play store like ES File Explorer
Download a browser that supports Flash, like Firefox for example.
Then Go to Settings>Security, then check the box ?unknown sources?. Then just hit ok if warning screen pops up.
Download the flash player apk file from here (this link is straight from XDA from developer stempox) - Dev-Host - install_flash_player_ics.apk - The Ultimate Free File Hosting / File Sharing Service
Now go into your file explorer app (like ES File explorer) and find the file (which should be called install_flash_player_ics.apk and it should be in the folder named Download). Click on it and click install.
Go into Firefox and browse most Flash sites (there are a few that require 11.2 but there is currently no apk for that yet).

Just an FYI, Adobe stopped supporting Flash after ICS (4.0) so phones running Jelly Bean (4.1 and up) are not officially supported. That's why you have to download and install the apk for it.

Thanks for the help.

Quick question though, why did they stop supporting flash?

Possibly due to conflicts with Adobe, but HTML5 is becoming the standard now anyway. In the 2 and a half years I had my iPhone I didn't encounter a single website that had flash content that I couldn't see, but wanted to.

Adobe stopped supporting Android, not the other way around.
