No flash got you down? Try this fix

Thank you for this.

When I tried downloading those .apks via chrome's "save link as" and try to install them via ES File Manager, I get a "Parse Error - There was a problem parsing the package" error.

Any ideas?

What versions of Flash ate you linking for your Adobe Flash Player_1.apk & Adobe Flash Player_2.apk?

I can copy over a Flash 11.1 (11.1.115.12) apk from my phone (Nexus / ICS) - but it sounds like I would also need an older version too.

What I did that worked fine:

1. Downloaded using computer
2. Put in Google Drive Folder on computer, allow a minute or two for files to upload
3. Open Google Drive app on Nexus 7, click on file(s), install as directed

(Be sure to have options set to allow non-Play Store apps to be installed, of course).

The decision to not support Flash wasn't Google's, it was Adobe's. Eventually content providers will work it out and develop alternative delivery mechanisms.

Yup...not a Google thing at all, unlike with Apple, the blame here squarely rests with Adobe's decision to cease Flash support for mobile browsers.

I'm not sure if Windows Mobile OS browsers have flash support anymore either (if they ever did, I honestly don't care enough about WinMo to even know if they support Flash).

I fully understand the logic as to why Apple has refused to add Flash support and why now even Adobe themselves have stopped developing Flash for mobile...but honestly, the average consumer doesn't care whether or not websites *should* be designed to use HTML5 instead of Flash for mobile browsers, they only care that they are able to access the content presented to them. With any luck, the growing popularity of mobile devices and the death of mobile Flash will force devs hands to design webpages that comply with current recommended standards and make all this a moot point.

I have done everything step by step. It seemed when i browse the website with flash, it worked. But when I open the online video, the firefox just had no response, and I had to stop it by force. It was annoying.:'(

 

[1812dave]

Use what I mentioned above

I have flash 11.1 and Firefox Aurora installed and flash works very well.

thanks i used this to fix flash on my nexus 7

 

[russell0214]

Thanks, resolved the online video problem. Yet there's a little problem with running video in full screen which led to browser faults. However, it's still a great help.
