Flash Player Jelly Bean

Hi all
If you have updated your Nexus to Jelly Bean using fastboot oem unlock all installed apps will be deleted.
After that I have installed the latest Flash Player from Adobe archive without success (version: 11.1.102.59)
A friend of mine got the update from Google. He also had installed Adobe Flash on ICS (version: 11.1.115.12).
This version works with Jelly Bean.
Because you can't download the Flash Player app from the store I've attached it for you.
(downloaded with chrome apk downloader)
Have fun
UPDATE: Archived Flash Player versions http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html (thx to maris__)

thank you so much
Will use when I get my tablet.

people need to understand the reason why Flash Player was brought down. Obviously, they didn't remove it just for laughs.

90% of the internets still use flash. Browsing the web without flash is no fun.

Verified working on Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM (maguro), i9250M
Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.1 JR003C) installed from SuperRom v1.0
Just install by going to the directory where you download the apk, then using comand:
adb install com.adobe.flashplayer-111115012.apk

that's a gross overestimation. Unless you like to play flash games, 99% of internet is either flash-free or has html5/mobile-optimized alternatives.

Maybe he's including ads, in which case 90% of the flash you'd rather not see anyway. But it's nice to have when you do want it.

In to download later

great, works for me, even on my kindle fire with jandycane 1.6

Where does it download to when you use your phone? It ask me to install it but I have it already, I just wanted to backup in case I needed it later after JB install.

Flash player

I just tried downloading flash player from the market and saw that it is not supported on our devices. Curious on if there is a work around for this or what people are using to be able to watch videos and podcasts online. thanks

I was able to download it and install and it works fine on my device, well at least I think it does. I never tried stock browser before I downloaded it but after I could (and still can) view pretty much any video through the browser.

Looks like you're running AOKP Jelly Bean. Jelly Bean isn't supported. SG3 is supported, but only on ICS/Stock.

Yeah I'm running jb. I guess I'm stuck without it for good or does anyone know what the plan is for the long run?

Go find the APK and put the APK on your phone and install it that way.

I believe I read somewhere that Flash support has ended and Adobe won't be coming out with any updates for it, so I doubt it will ever officially support jb.

Play Store page makes it pretty clear: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hZG9iZS5mbGFzaHBsYXllciJd
*** NOTE: FLASH PLAYER IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED FOR NEW DEVICE CONFIGURATIONS. FLASH PLAYER WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED ON ANY ANDROID VERSION BEYOND ANDROID 4.0.x ***

Yeah, Adobe is killing mobile flash past ICS. As others have stated, the APK can be installed and will work for most, but it is not supported.

I use adobe flash on JB and it works fine. You just need to sideload the apk. I think that trying to block flash from JB is stupid. Is like saying ' I'm not going to sell you more gasoline because all the cars in the feature will be electrics. '

Copy/download .apk to SD and install.

Here is the link to get it from Play. The support ended with ICS not JB but I downloaded it anyway and it works as buggy as hell, but it works. Let me know if it doesn't work for your JB because I will prevent update to JB if that is the case. Watching videos on my phone is more important than google's new Siri knockoff. If I wanted a ****ing iPhone I would have bought one.

EDIT: Okay I was wrong it still says it doesn't support flash on some videos yet it plays certain videos it wasn't playing yesterday....no idea what's happening LOL

Maybe older versions are better...?
I am not sure which version works and therefore post also a link to the archive. But I have to correct it...
So long you can test this one:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.69/install_flash_player_ics.apk
And here the correct link to the archive (scroll down):
flash player archive
PS. I will also made my tests.

Flash does not work in Chrome. It does work in built-in browser. I also use Dolphin (you need to change the agent to desktop in settings). Others have mentioned firefox and boat, I haven't tried them.

Not sure what version of jelly bean people are running but flash has never worked in google chrome for android. Also, the stock browser that is included with 4.3 does not support flash anymore. Older versions do but not the version bundled with 4.3 on the galaxy note 10.1 2014. I've only been able to get flash to work on 3rd party browsers like Dolphin and Firefox.
Please note, chances are if you are playing videos in chrome or in the stock browser they are not flash videos. The easiest way to test if flash is working is to go to a site that has flash based games. Trying to play videos only is misleading because more and more sites are including mobile friendly mp4 versions of videos.

I've had no success with Chrome or Dolphin, but Firefox works with the above version of Flash. It's so stupid to discontinue Flash support when it's still so prevalent on the internet.

Flash works for me in both Dolphin and Next browser.

Sorry, but I'm old to Android stuff but new to ODIN and Samsung. I expect to be hard to downgrade as you also need to downgrade EVERY aspect of your SGT3, including ones you're using to flash. However, it's theoretically possible.
But as of Flash Player, use Dolphin browser. That should work with Flash.

You can goto samfirmware.com and get a the 4.1.x and install it using odin. The goto settings and make sure you don't have it auto update. Is freaky simple as I've done it myself with no issues. So do I get a Christmas present?

HAH GA................... Oh wait, we shouldn't.
Well yes, you should try using Dolphin browser. Locate it on GPlay or get it as an apk somewhere.

wont work in dolphin on 4.2.2 but puffin browser works for flash.

puffin works but performance is ****ty. someone has to have the original shipped firmware somewhere? would like to downgrade
thanks to anyone that can help
OK next browser works perfect! I think better than dolphin for flash

Thanks for posting, still waiting to find a good tutorial or something.

I have the same problem, but nothing works since the last crappy update. ALL apps close abruptly and there is no flash player. The dolphin browser also was no help.
I gladly trade my tab 3 for the tab 2.

Adobe Flash?? Please lend a hand.

Sorry for bombarding the forum with questions. As I've mentioned in a previous thread I just bought the gnex as a replacement since I'm grandfathered in and can't afford a new phone.
Anyway, sorry about that. Is there a way to get adobe flash without rooting. Can a apk work, if so could someone send it to me? I tried getting it via Google play previously installed apps but it won't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Flash is no longer supported beyond jellybean
There is a workaround follow the guide I linked to get flash working.

you can get the apk from official flash website, I use firefox browser after installing flash apk and it works just fine(most of time) I'm on 4.4 based rom
wish Adobe still officially supported Linux in general

Thanks both of you. I do intend on rooting just haven't had the time.
As for the .apk. Do you know if it will work with with 4.2.2 and other browsers or just FF?
Thanks.
PS
You said supported beyond JB. I'm on JB, 4.2.2

rooting your galaxy nexus will take no time at all
once you've unlocked bootloader and installed custom recovery(ALL EXTREMELY SIMPLE) you can just flash either the superuser root zip if you plan to stay stock, or ANY of the roms available all seem to come with root(except shiny, which to root you just flash the su zip after)
just wanted to let you know that it's NOTHING to be stressed about, EXTREMELY easy to do ANYTHING on the Gnex
I am POSITIVE it will NOT work with Chrome. chrome on android doesn't support flash playback at all, never has, go figure huh? the desktop chrome comes with it's OWN flash version, but not for android lol!
it SHOULD however work with the aosp stock browser, firefox, and dolphin browser(i think dolphin browser has a special add-on to support using flash)
and also maybe opera and some others. any specific one you were thinking about?
I can send ya the apk I use personally if you want it, no need to root to install it, just enable unknown sources in security settings in main settings, install the apk, and I usually reboot after that just to be "sure" is being recognized by browser apps.
and I'm not CERTAIN, but I think official support was stopped at/after.initial release of 4.1 JB, JB held the name from 4.1-4.3

Do you still need flash? I havent installed it and have no issues at all. Maybe it is included in the browser?
