[Q] Flash Player not present?

Does anyone know whether we will be getting flash, I know they've pulled support, but are we in line?
If not is there a work around to get an older version to work? I know the SDK port had a working flash so it would seem to be possible right?

I found out the lack of support last night, I'm surprised how much I miss it already!

Hi, sorry if this has been discussed before, but I got my Galaxy Nexus today and noticed I can not download Flash player or play flash players in browser? It comes up as incompatible in the market place! Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Yeah i've just picked mine up today and noticed this.
Flash player not visable in the market on the handset and when viewed on my laptop it says its incompatible with the device. I hope there is a work around for this.

Any chance you just have to enable plugins in the browser?

Did you guys miss the demo on flash death to mobile devices...

Yes, because Apple can't just turn off Flash on the web. It's still everywhere, it will be everywhere for a long time.
Maybe you were being sarcastic ..duno

But if flash isn't made for the device it won't work so it wouldn't allow for flash stuff on websites

Anyone try side loading flash player?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk

Yup, the latest honeycomb version would install, but didn't do anything else.
Edit: Well, BBC news website no longer said 'you don't have flash player installed' and it showed the icon in the middle of where the vid should be, but wouldn't try and play it.

Its not optimized on ICS, I think I read online somewhere that its getting worked on

this would be terrible if it doesnt work. can someone download the apk and try a website?

Does no one read threads before replying?
I've tried latest Honeycomb and Gingerbread flash players, neither worked.
Also, Google had said it's coming so we just need to wait a bit.

search the forums or google, there's loads of threads about this, flash is on it's way.

It was already announced that Adobe would be updating Flash to work on ICS. The estimated timeframe is sometime at the end of December, from what I remember reading, can't remember exactly where I read it.

Light flow issues

I simply can't get this thing to work consistently..
It will only work if i open the Light flow app and go to notifications, then I can press home button and go back to my home screen but as long as the light flow app is still in the 'multi task' it will work, once I'll swipe it from there it stops working.
Also - when I check for 'Light flow' in the 'running services' under 'apps', it is still there, even after I've swiped it from the multi task , saying '1 process and 1 service', but it will not work unless I open the app itself and go into notifications...
Info -
It only started after the JB update..
I am not running any task managers etc..
I am rooted, stock 4.1.1 JB
I tested it with Gmail, charging etc..
This really sucks.. Am I the only one??....

Since the update that was meant to fix Jelly Bean issues, I've had no issues. Its working well for me.

Got a responce from the dev:
"Hi
At the moment for some reason in jelly bean swiping away the app causes the app to stop working. It'll show in the services as android restarts it on the crash, but it's lost its state until you re-enter the app to initialise it.
I'm looking into a fix for that.
I've sent a simple test case over to one of the top android framework*designers as they picked up on a post I placed into their support forums about it.*

Adobe Flash on 4.1 Jelly Bean!

Found this on the Android General discussion forum, and thought I'd bring it to attention here, since we proud Gnex owners are basically THE people rocking some jelly bean version phones, and I've seen many complaints about Adobe flash no longer working.
I take no credit for this guide, simply posting it here for those of us who don't have time/have a life and aren't scanning other forums.
Here's a link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336

Honestly? I personally don't really care about the whole flash buisness... but I don't use it much. Only time I did was when trying to watch streaming video on specific sites, and I've found other, easier alternatives. But there are some people who surf flash based sites on a regular basis, it's understandable they'd be annoyed, I have one friend who didn't want to make the switch to 4.1 because the whole flash issue...
If anyone else was worried about loosing flash support, no reason to now. Make the switch! JB is just worth it...
And people, remember, this is just a temporary way to hold off the inevitable pending death of flash and the rise of HTML5. Support s gone, Adobe announced they'd pull Flash from the app store all together on the 15th of August, and let's be honest, flash has always been a slow, clumsy way to surf the web on mobile (nevertheless, it was nice to have the possibility of running it).

For me, Flash Player carried over from ICS when I flashed the yakju JB OTA, so I had it all along. As I understand it though, all you really ever needed was to sideload the latest Flash (11.1.115.1.12) APK which we've had up in the Dev forums here for awhile now.. Not sure what those extra steps and files are for in the thread you linked.

Try it. Seriously, go into your browser and open up a flash site, let me know if it works... it carried over for me with the OTA, though flash hasn't worked for me since. Also side loading it doesn't help. Sure it gets installed, but that's all it is now. An installed icon in the app drawer. Clicking it and opening a browser for the settings gives me a blank page. Would be interesting to know if it actually works. I thought it did in the beginning, and proudly showed my friend he shouldn't be worried, flash still works. Then I realized I hadn't been on a flash site, and flash DOESN'T work. Oops

Yes, that works. I have Flash held over from the ICS to JB OTA upgrade.

Well, here's the same game on the same Site on my browser after sideloading flash:
I do remember seeming to think that flash WAS working for me right after the OTA, but since then I have flashed so many different roms and I had uninstalled flash somewhere along the process. Just tried sideloading it now and this is what showed up in the stock browser.
Anyone here have Flash working without carrying over thru the OTA? Just sideloading it?

It works well for me on JB (Eclipse ROM) and I side-loaded V11.1. I think someone already mentioned there is a 'flash-fetcher' on the market here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modaco.flashdownloader
If you want to be sure you're up to date I think that gets it from Adobe, but I'm not sure, and haven't used that app. I'm able to use flash in the stock JB browser and also in Dolphin, and like everyone, not in Chrome. I'll give you site a try because I don't really use it much but I know it works.
Good luck.

I though that JB had terrible battery, isn't that a reason not to upgrade

4.3 compatibility issues

Anyone else facing any big ones? For me, Splashtop Streamer doesn't work at all. TeamViewer works once after an app data clear and then stops. DicePlayer says it isn't compatible in the market but even if I sideload it, it crashes on start.
Could this be due to the new OpenGL?

TEAM Battery Bar is now showing an icon in the notification area and a standard-layout notification in the drawer. It links to App Info so I'm guessing it's created by the system, not by the app itself. Could be a result of the new permissions system, I think. Any idea if it's possible to get rid of it?
