Flash Player APK (UPDATED)

Adobe has stopped allowing downloads for Flash Player on all devices running Jelly Bean, including the Nexus 7. This APK has been tested and works great on the Nexus 7 so far with 4.2.1.
APK File: install_flash_player_ics (1).apk - 4.49 MB

Awesome. Thanks.

couple questions...
1. so will this allow flash to be used on chrome?
1a. if it doesnt work with chrome, what's the benefit of a standalone apk versus getting a browser that can use flash?
2. do you have to be rooted for this to work?
thanks!

1. No, chrome does not support flash.
2. You need the flash apk to be able to use flash in a browser that supports flash I.e. dolphin browser
3. No, you do not. Just make sure you go to setting, security, and click the unknown sources check box before you try to install the app.

You can't download it straight to your tablet. You have to extract it on a computer then transfer it to your Nexus.

Theres no default file browser installed so get something like Astro:
These are the instructions I followed, can't remember if I used the APK linked on that site or not, so to be safe use the one linked above.
PS : This five minute spam rule is annoying. (but can see why its here).

i installed the flash apk but when i try to view a flash movie it crashes the browser (opera mini, maxthon, and dolphin hd)

thanks works awesome on my nexus 7 and on my galaxy nexus
top notch

This worked great! Thank you

Thanks for the apk. You can download it straight to your tablet if it was not gziped and just install it with a file manager... On another note, I didn't really see the point of putting it back on my tablet after downloading it to my PC since I already had the sdk installed.
Code:
adb install -r com.adobe.flashplayer-3f0d57a34bf0204acb2f9b310aa37ac7.apk
did the trick and installed it just fine for me..

Worked like it should!

If you are using Dolphin as a Flash solution Do Not update to 8.6 which just came out. It completely removes the ability to use Flash for Jelly Bean even if you have it side loaded. It gives a message that they will no longer be supporting it for Android 4.1+

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Apple has been pressuring everyone to ditch flash for years. From what ive heard Jobs HATED Adobe which is why no apple product ever supported flash. If its not Apple tech or built specifically for and around apple, this is what they would do. Iphones dominance early on is what helped them succeed in killing flash.
If apple doesn't like something they will go to extremes to destroy it. They have to protect their one good idea per decade somehow I suppose!

an .apk is basically the application itself.
Adobe don't support Flash on Jellybean (Android 4.1) so the BBC iPlayer app says it's not compatible with the note 2 if you search for it in the Play store.
To get around this, all you have to do is go to Settings > Security and tick "Unkown sources Allow installation of non-Market apps"
Then you go back to stesteste's post on page 1 of this thread and download the two files (install_flash_player_ics.apk and bbc.iplayer.android.apk) and put them somewhere on your phone.
Then use a file manager to open the files, and you should be prompted to install them (install the flash player apk first, then the iplayer one) and you'll have iplayer working fine.

This version works without Flash : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.uk.co.bbc.android.mediaplayer

Hi Nick, .apk files "are" Android App files.
That's the name of the file type used .... all the apps you download & use on an Android phone will be .apk
For eg. if you went on PLAY & downloaded the "Opera Mobile web browser" the file it sends to your phone is called "OperaMobile.apk" (BTW it's the only browser i use as you get text reflow after zooming)

Thank you all ...check the sig its here and its amazing! Got flash installed ok and writing this with s-pen how good is this phone!

Flash 11 does work on the Note 2

If anyone was wondering about getting flash working on their phone for sites that haven't converted to HTML5, it is possible to install and make flash player 11 for android work on these phones. You can get the apk file from blapkmarket.com and install it. After doing that, flash will start working in the built in browser and add on browsers as well. So no more little ? box because it can't display that little flash video in the browser.
Proof it works after being installed in the screen shot. And the apk file is the installer I used from blapkmarket.
Enjoy!

Yes thank you:thumbup:

You may have to launch the stock browser and go into Settings -> Advanced and enable plugins to your choice, on demand or always to see flash working. Also I don't think flash works with Chrome no matter what. Other browsers seem fine.

Make sure you have the option to allow installing from unknown sources.
And I doubt it matters, but I installed this on a rooted phone. Still stock odex rom.
And its really simple to make this work. Download the apk. Copy to your storage (phone or external). Run the apk. It installs and presto, you have flash in browser. I've only tested it with the stock web browser.

worked for me, only on stock browser though, no go on chrome

Chrome is having issues on the Note II... for me at least.
I use FireFox for Flash sites.
Another thing that is not working well in Chrome is pasting into text fields. Lastpass and Chrome are not happy together for some reason.

Worked for me!

I've been running Flash Player 11.1.115.12 since the day I rooted my phone; about the second day after I got my phone. I had a Titanium Backup from my Evo 4G.
I don't like the stock browser. I use Boat Browser when I need a flash player for a website.
I've read you can download the APK directly from Adobe, but I could never find on their site. I'm always a bit weary about downloading something not on Google Play or developed by XDA members. Anything popular like Flash Player I'm even more weary because "the bad people" know it's popular, in demand, so one could end up downloading and installing malicious software instead.

my apologies, it appears I'm out of date. It looks like the international GN2, there was a thread with e direct link to the same version. The download link in the thread is to the same site macromedia that Adobe links to for the archieved versions. The thread is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1954255
I'm still weary of anything from a third party android market which are victorious for viruses.

Adobe flash

What's the state of adobe flash support on this device?
Theres supposedly a new version of adobe flash player, including for android, including for "Androud 4 and above"
http://arstechnica.com/security/201...-update-for-attacks-on-windows-mac-users/#p3n
I definitely installed an apk named adobe flash installer ics only days ago after flashing stock rooted MA5, and there is a flash player settings icon in my app drawer, although it just goes to a web page not to a local app, and adobe flash does not appear anywhere in market, not even in "my apps". And when I go to the link "To see what version of Flash your computer is running.", it says "You have version 11,1,115,36 installed."
It shows in Titanium backup too as 11.1.115.36 installed.
Yet when I go to the download page:
http://www.adobe.com/m/flashplayer/android.html
It just says sorry you need flash installed.
According to some of the comments on that Ars article the version numbers are questionable so maybe I somehow already have the latest version or maybe the article got the numbers wrong.
But basically, what is the state of flash on this device? Is it just that the stock browser doesn't support it even if it's installed? Does Chrome or some other browser work?

Chrome does not work with flash, but there are a handful of browsers that do. Personally I use Firefox when I have to do something with flash, but I use Chrome for everything else.
Tip: make sure to enable plugins in the settings of whichever browser you decide to use.
As far as the new version - I don't know anything about it. I'll have to check that out.

The state of Adobe Flash is that it is semi-abandonware. Only fixes from Adobe are critical security fixes, with dev effort halted as of August 2012 (before out N2 was even released)....Flash even working on our note at all is a fluke from Adobe's point of view.

There is a nice thread in the Intneral GN2 on this topic, and the guy posts a direct link for the APK from Adobe.
As the other guy, you need to use a Flash friendly browser. I'm use Boat, since it's a light browser and works. The other two that would work, that I know of are Firefox (mentioned earlier) and Dolphin. If you can get it to work, I found Dolphin, on my Evo4G, worked best with Flash. Firefox worked, but was really so to load. Boat works fine, but I haven't thoroughly tested it.
Overall, I find Flash experience and performance to be site dependent Some sites, works like a charm. Others, well..., they're less than desirable with odd issues that came up such as no picture if you go full screen.

Here's the link that I use on all androids with 4.0 up. No problems with flash on stock browser after installation.
Download and install with a file manager. Root not necessary.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/w2s6vcaa8ks14ut/install_flash_player_ics.apk

Settings advanced plugins is already "always on". There is no flash-specific setting anywhere.
Are any of you with working flash in the stock browser on ma5? Maybe the browser in ma5 has all support stripped out?
That download was for 11.1.115.20
It didn't work any better so I think people should install the latest 11.1.115.37 unless we can show that there is some situation where the old version works while the new one does not. It was a security update after all and it was bad enough that they actually updated a product they already said they were never updating again. It is handy to have old versions to refer to sometimes though so thanks for that.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

Annnd now it's working. Stock browser in MA5 with flash 11.1.115.37 installed, the adobe flash test page actually works. The Sprint speed test page also works.
I wish we could nail down exactly how to make it work and document it explicitly.
Why didn't it work for me before? Why does it work now?
The only things I did in the last few minutes were: installed dolphin, dolphin beta, firefox, firefox beta, and xscope pro (i had purchased that way back on the og evo but never really used it since then) and tried to load up the test page in everything but xscope, just hadn't got that far yet when I tried the stock browser again just to double check and compare the exact appearance. Possibly one of the other browser installs did something to flash to make it work? Maybe installing that 11.1.115.20 version did something after all even though it was replaced again? I haven't even rebooted.
