Adobe have stated that after this date flash will not be downloadable from the play store for devices that ARE NOT natively supported (meaning it doesn't have a plugin libs in /system/lib/plugins/ in the unedited stock rom).
Those that are, flash will still downloadable through the market (though no longer updated).
Flash already installed on devices will continute to operate and will not magically shut off after this date.

Just download an APK of it and manually install it in future if it's needed that badly.

Who needs flash? I'm not using and the only difference between having flash player installed or not is the amount of advertisements you see on a webpage. As long as you don't player flash games through your browser there won't be any need for it.

Lucky you, there are several websites that don't have an optmized mobile page/html 5, and all info / website is in flash... I'm more than happy to be able to navigate in such sites, even if it is clumsy, unoptmized, laggy... At least I can see the info I need whenever I need, even if not perfect...
While most people won't hit such web sites often, it is possible, specially whenever you are on the road, have the phone with you, and the info you need is in that god damned flash page... I just can't remember how many times my sister called me telling she was en route to some place, trying to get info from another place, and couldn't because the page won't load on her phone, asking me to check the information for her.... :victory: I probably could live without flash, I probably could also live without a smartphone and not checking the web while on the streets, but, if I can do that and that saves me precisous time, I'm more than willing to not part with Flash Player... I just use it with plugins on-demand setting and that work very fine for me.

I recently bought a Nexus 7, which doesn't come with the Android browser, only Chrome which doesn't run Flash. I uploaded the Flash player that was installed my Galaxy Nexus phone to Dropbox, then installed it on my Nexus 7. Several 3rd party browsers can run Flash on the Nexus 7, I choose Firefox. Now I can still run Flash infested sites even though Android 4.1.1 wasn't supposed to have it. This gives me hope that Flash will continue to be available on our GNex as well.

Flash works fine on a Stock (OTA updated from ICS) gnexus running JB 4.1.1 if you sideload the apk, it has the same old flash problems (buggy in places, bit of a cpu hog) but it works.
Basically that adobe link says that they will flip the switch and only allow people who have it installed, to get updates, nothing about deleting it from your phone
tl;dr sideload it until it breaks due to changes in android.

Flash is needed for the bbc iplayer apps.
Just checked on my 2nd GN (stock jb 4.1.1) and the adobe flash app and bbc iplayer is not showing in the store. Though it is installed and working fine on my main GN which is identical but i had flash and iplayer installed before i updated to jb.
Neither are available for my nexus 7.

I'm pretty sure the BBC have HTML5 streams for iOS devices, they just need to pull their thumbs out and update the app

Indeed, maybe this is google giving them a good kick up the arse!

Hulu on the evo

I Seen a lot of nexus thread that lead to other threads. so can some one show me or tell how to get this working thank you in advance.
hey
there is a full flash player download in themes and apps i think. its 10.1 adobe flash haven't tried on hulu works other places
forgot
search it there
Tried that it still says it cant cause of my platform
Currently you can't.
Hulu implements a special code that detects your browser and compares it to a list of "Compatible" (AKA Desktop) browsers. If your browsers fails this check (isn't on the list) the video will not load.
The Nexus one has a few special tricks (perks of being fully rooted) that bypass this issue be "tricking" Hulu. Evo JUST got full root today (from my understanding) so give it a few days.
Now if only we could get Silverlight working all my Fanboy dreams will be true...
you shouldnt need root to do this. just a browser capable of changing its userAgent string.
well i tried using dolphinhd where you can change it to desktop but it was still a no go

I am no expert, but i am thinking this is because you still need the full flash, not flash lite that comes with the Evo.... Froyo and some creative code should allow Hulu to happen for us.. just wait a few for these amazing devs to work their magic and BAAM!! lol
We can install full flash instead of using the preinstalled flash lite, but that only works with the HTC Browser which will not fool Hulu. Anyone test Hulu on a Froyo testbuild on the EVO?

[INFO] Flash support for Android 4.0 ICS will be out before end of 2011

** EDIT for new info **:
Flash for Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will be out before the end of 2011. There will be no Flash support for Android 5.0:
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/43152/flash-for-android-4-end-2011-no-flash-for-android-5
The main reason why I switched to Android was it's Flash support. Finding out recently that ICS did not support Flash and that Adobe was discontinuing Flash development was very discouraging.
Google has confirmed that Flash is not yet operational in ICS, but Google is also confirming that Adobe will support Flash in ICS.
“Flash hasn’t been released for ICS yet. So as far as we know, Adobe will support Flash for ICS.” – Google

Although discouraging and disappointing at first, there is now hope.
So Flash Player doesn't even show up in the Android Market on the Galaxy Nexus but I thought that one can install the apk on the phone. It seems that this doesn't work either, according to other users who've already got theirs. e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351167
Half the bloody web uses Flash. How are we supposed to view those sites?
To be honest I'm glad there is no support at the moment and wish that it wouldn't come. I haven't missed it since upgrading to the Nexus and if anything browsing is faster!
has anyone tried side loading it
Flash is going to die in mobile platforms, and we should be pressing video stream websites to use html5, instead of crying about flash's death. Damn memory/cpu hog.

i dont know about you guys, but for me, more then half the web uses flash. The only reason im not getting iphone because of flash. The stream i always go to, uses flash. gonna wait a month, if they dont support flash on nexus, im getting sgs2
SGS2 will eventually get ICS and will have similar "problem"

It's no problem at all to set the flash settings to "on demand " so you have the fast browsing experience and flash if you need it.

i her simple apps like tweecaster and facebook do not work! is this true? wtf is going on?. not having flash is a bummer. at least we should have the option. volume issues, no flash, simple apps not working.. this is getting really discouraging
Because they aren't updated for ics I would say. And because the Nexus is the only ics device at the moment they are probably to lazy to do so.

you keep running the Apple party line. the rest of us would prefer to have the option for when we need it.
Adobe Flash is currently #24 in the top (free) apps for Android. and the majority of the low reviews are from idiots using 50 dollar Cricket android phones.
don't like it? don't use it. no reason to come in here and spout nonsense.
Hopefully this will shut up the people who keep going on about no Flash support on the GN. It's a brand new hardware running a brand new software; of course there are going to be compatibility issues for early adopters.

There are allways apps that don't work with newer OS versions. Happens with iOs, too.

Several people have reported trying to sideload the latest flash apk for Honeycomb - it didn't work.
About the apps issue, how long is it before they usually get sorted out and ready for the latest OS (right now ICS). I know that the main reason I use my phone for is Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Browsing.
I'm not guessing too long right?

If those 4 things are your main concerns it shouldn't be a problem. As far as I know Twitter works fine. Official Facebook app has always been pretty ass on the Android so if you can live with it before you can probably live with it now. YouTube is natively supported and apart from not having Flash the browser is blazing fast.

Lack of flash is Adobe's fault, not Google's.

JB and apps that use flash..

So I know that flash doesn't work on JB which is just retarded and honestly sucks because I used to hold it over my iFriends all the time. Also I know there is a work around to install flash player but it seems to only work on the default browser. The point being that I use Pulse and Cracked Lite pretty often and sometimes there are articles which have videos embedded in them (usually YouTube), with the absence of flash its impossible to view them. My question is how are people getting around this issue? I'm sure I'm not the only person who uses Pulse or Cracked and I'm sure there's other apps with the same issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't really have much of a solution, but my first phone was a LG Optimus One which couldn't even run flash. So I was stoked when I got my Galaxy Nexus with Jellybean so that I could finally watch tv shows on my phone. Then I found it that it had no flash. So basically what I did was use stock browser (Since I installed flash anyways) to watch things with flash with stock browser and use Chrome/Opera/Dolphin for everything else. Eventually I got tired of doing that I just stuck with the stock browser and realised how much faster and smoother it is. Sorry that I couldn't really help you at all, but that how I get around my issue.
It is my understand ing, tar if you push the app, it will work

[Q] What are you using for Flash Player?

My Galaxy S4 on stock rooted 4.3 displays videos on Facebook and other sites just fine using Chrome. But my G Pad will not. After clicking on a video link, I get a message that I need to install Adobe Flash player but that my device does not support it. I searched XDA and everything I found says Chrome is not compatible. But Chrome is obviously compatible since it works on my S4. Any ideas how to get around it? I'm stock rooted on my G Pad.

There's a KitKat compatible Flash Player .APK floating around the xda forums.. Basically some framework needed to use Flash was removed from Android in KitKat, that made it impossible to use Flash, but then a dev repacked this framework into Flash Player .APK itself and relinked the paths. So.. Basically you will have to search for that special .APK, (It is over in the Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 2013 forums somewhere.)
They recommend using Dolphin Browser and Dolphin Jetpack along with this .APK.. But I guess you could try other Flash compatible browsers such as Maxton, Boat and Holo Browser.
Who knows. It works at least for me.
Also Chrome isn't compatible with Flash, never have been and never will be. It must have been something else.. HTML5 or whatever they use these days. Chrome has never been able to play Flash content.
Hope this helps.
Yea, I've seen that thread about it. But I'm currently on stock 4.2.2. And I agree about Chrome, that's what I've heard too. But seriously, it works on my S4. I can use Chrome on both my phone and tablet, navigate to the same exact site, and click on the same exact link. It will play on the S4 and give me the error on the G Pad about needing flash player and my device not being compatible. I'll ask in the S4 forum to see if anyone knows why/how it works. Appreciate the quick response CuraeL.

How about the "Request Desktop Site" in Chrome drop down menu? Is it enabled on one of the devices. I reckon it will work better if it's not set to request desktop since it may use a mobile player plug-in instead. Perhaps that's the catch?
If not, then I don't understand how Chrome is doing anything, it has never been able to.. ;/
But yeah, maybe the Sammy S4 boys know something we don't, lol. ^^
Let us know what you find.

Apple Music is not working anymore with actual Malaysk ROM

Hi,
after updating to the actual Malaysk ROM from June, Apple Music is not working anymore.
I tired all versions from 0.9.0 up to the actual 0.9.10
Apple Music try to start and the quit.
Any idea?
Nobody else useing Apple Music??
Given this is an android forum there probably aren't too many apple users.
If it's important to you roll back to a previous working rom.

Yesterday I installed the last Malaysk ROM and I had the same problem, if I try to install Apple Music from Google Play it says that is not compatible, the solution is easy:
download 1.2.1 Apple Music .apk from any website and install it.
side load is not working, because Apple Music seems to check, what device.
