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

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. '

how do you sideload the apk?
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.

Hi,
Just got my Nexus. Can't update it as Nexus says it's up to date. And my Android version is 4.0.1 at the moment.
But I see in your signatures most of you have 4.0.3.
Do I need to be a developer (must have SDK or smth) to upgrade? Or is there a simple way to do that?
Thanks!
4.0.3 OTA is not available. It's in AOSP.
Only way to get 4.0.3 is to use a custom ROM .

That was quick
I think I will wait for official. Have no balls messing with custom ROMs at the moment Tired already of messing with Windows Mobile and searching for a perfect ROM (didn't find that in 3 years).

well luckily for you if you ever decide to go the custom rom route, the people at samsung, google, and the wonderful developers online have made it almost idiot proof, and safe to do. you will probably be surprised how easy it is. in fact, most people seem to have the most issues installing the windows(or mac) drivers properly.
peter alfonso - peteralfonso.com has the Bugless Beast rom, which is nearly stock aosp, and very stable
i have to say I tried rooting, unlock and custom rom... and the hardest bit was finding the right drivers.. but used the universal ones (in the forums) and it worked like a charm.. Just follow a guide and it's simple... but I've stuck with stock as the camera functionality isn't as good in AOSP... will flash cm9 when its ready though
go with the one touch app for rooting and the touch clockwork app they work great

You don't need to install any drivers on Mac to make fastboot working. Just download a fastboot binary (like on Linux).
Btw
When we should expect 4.0.3 to be released officially?
How long it usually takes to release a new version?

flash to custom 4.0.3 if you want it now
I am also still at 4.0.1 and when I check for update, still no 4.0.2
When were will be an update to 4,0,3 will we be able to update without losing all the settings?
I have Backup checkbox marked in my settings.
So, if I'm on 4.0.2 and download a 4.0.3 ROM it will be compatible? Same with flashing a 4.0.3 kernel on a 4.0.2?
Thanks

Haha, if it only works on the stock browser, there is absolutely no point in using flash then. I only use chrome since my bookmarks and everything are seamlessly synced.
I've had flash installed since day one!!! Updated to bigxie's 4.1.1 and flash is still working once you update YOU CAN'T DOWNLOAD IT FROM THE MARKET! I watch YouTube from the stock browser,Don't like chrome.. And whatever sites I can't visit I use droidvpn I live in canada. But flash still plays!!

It's indicated "enabled" when I check the settings in /data/data, but when I check the browser setting, I found it's disabled and I got error "Flash is not compatible with 4.1" when I tried to enable it.
It seems to work with Skyfire (but it is pretty unstable).
Opera Mobile is totally not workable when flash is enabled.
Well, should I go back to 4.0.4?

here you go, downloaded from Adobe archives, version 11.1.115.17
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.

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.

I updated mine running AOKP JB-MR1 Build 2 which is obviously rooted with no issues. I actually updated from Wallet 1.5 –R87–v15 which was never released to the play store, it was was pre-installed on the Nexus 4 and 7 and never had an issue with it. I havent tested the new one as far NFC yet, but wont get a chance till after work later on tonight. But everything looks like its in working order.

I ran into the same problem. I changed build.prop to be the same as when I originally installed wallet, and after fixing my soft brick because I forgot to fix permissions, I was able to run the new version of wallet. I restored build.prop and everything still works. My cards are still present, I didn't need to wipe anything.
This is awesome and worked perfectly, Thank you!! :good:
If it helps anyone, I saved a copy of the working version I had to my Dropbox, and completly deleted it from the phone prior to installing the new version.

Was your device unlocked or rooted, or running a custom ROM? Trying to figure out how those have it up and running got it to work.
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?
