I've read on a few forums about how Adobe Flash Player is no longer available on new Android devices and how it's been pulled from the Google Play Store.
In case anyone didn't realize this, I was able to install it on my Droid Razr M by going to "My Apps" in the Google Play Store and downloading it.
I guess if you've downloaded it in the past, it stays in your Google Play Account "My Apps" list.
People help me out so much on these forums, hope this helps someone else.
Just installed (; it actually works. Thank you!

Not supported by Jelly Bean, but when you get to JB there's an APK hanging around somewhere if you really need it.

Mind if I ask which browser you went with?

IMHO Opera Mobile is the best web browser out there!
Anyone mind sharing the apk for Flash Player with me? I did install it before on other devices but it now tells me the Razr I is not compatible.
I actually really like chrome and how it syncs quite well between multiple devices.

IMO I hated opera. Sometimes u have to refresh the feed in order to bring up a website that you click on.. that is the page will show up completely white for me. For example.. wiki answers. Always use that for help on homework topics but opera doesn't seem to load it while others do just fine.. got real annoying

You can find all of Adobe's FLASH Player builds here:

Scroll down and you'll see every APK compiled for Android 4.x (and older versions too). I always prefer to pull APKs direct from the developer.
Adobe Flash is still in the google play store, I guess it's just hidden?

Why is that? Why don't they want us to use it?

Adobe officially stopped supporting Flash as of August 15th, and announced there would be no support for JB. The best referring article I could find is here:
http://www.redmondpie.com/long-live-flash-adobe-stops-supporting-flash-on-android-as-of-today/
I think the bottom line is that Adobe is focused development on HTML5. Older devices can still install Flash from the market, but nothing running ICS or JB.

I'm gonna post this here because its an ics/cm9 issue I think...and this is the forum I'm familiar with and many knowledgeable people here. OK here goes. I've done a search on the forum and have not found a solution to my problem. I had an epic 4g running a 2.2 froyo from and didn't have an issue. I have a particular site that I download daily podcast from and all I had to do was click on the icon....it then directed to another page then the android browser, or any browser for that matter, and asked if I wasn't to save file as. I upgraded to cm9 on the epic and ever time I went to the same site with any browser it wouldn't ask to save it. It would try to play it instead. It wouldn't give an option to save it even with a long click and hold. So...here I am now with a brand new phone running a stock ics galaxy nexus and am still having the same issue as I was with the cm9 on my epic. I click on the link and it doesn't give an option to save the mp3, instead it tries to play it and the says cannot play file. Is there some setting that I am missing somewhere to help out with this. Another note is that on the epic that was having the same issue is that when I deleted all music players on the system I could click and it would ask to save the file. But I don't think I should have to delete my music players and reinstall to be able to download mp3s. I was able to do it on froyo and Jo I can't figure it out on ics. Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Since Dolphin Browser HD recently dropped support for Flash on all Jelly Bean devices, including the Nexus 7, people have been needing the old version of Dolphin Browser HD for use with Flash. Well, here you are.

Thanks OP, very kind of you!
*Edit - Although Flash seems to work fine, when trying to go full screen it crashes out immediately. Currently Firefox does not have this problem.
This is great. I miss the pinch to zoom and the more functional address bar though. Not a poblem.
Anyway to tell the Play Store not to update it?

As of right now, no. I guess that's the price to pay to have Flash working on it though.
Maybe if everyone keeps giving it 1 star for disabling Flash, Dolphin will get the message and add it back.

Did this yesterday and it's been smoooooth sailing so far. I'm new to Android and this made things a ton easier. :good:
I wonder if there is a way to change the apk or program to make it think your are running ICS so it still enables flash, besides editing the build.prop. From the Google Play update log it sounds like its merely disabling flash on JB while still allowing it to work on ICS/GB, so the flash supporting part of Dolphin is still there, its just being disabled.
I've been using XScope Browser.
Seems like Flash support is a little bit better on that one, but I haven't tested it extensively. Amazon Instant Video can be played full-screen, which is nice. I tried that with Dolphin, but it kept crashing.

Flash isn't supported by Jelly Bean if that's what you're running. Check this out. This is a short article about it that also gives work around or two to help. There are also a tin of posts here on xda that talk about it. You can also use other browsers that will play flash. Hope it helps:

There is usually a setting for managing add-ons in the browser settings menu. Personally, I use Boat, which allows Flash "always-on" or "on-demand" settings.

In theory, Google no longer supports Adobe Flash Player; that's why we see all this controversy with some Android browsers still supporting it while others don't and won't. Google's seems to be pushing the HTML5 but that just can't happen overnight. Adobe Flash Player is certainly not dead and it won't be replaced for a while.
That's why it says it's for ICS and yes, it'll work on JB without problems. Most likely Adobe will never (officially) be releasing a version dedicated to JB or KLP...
It's probably also why we'd have to dig deeper and deeper to find this ARCHIVED links.

Thanks but I've been using Boat Broawser Pro for quite some time - at least for me there is no better Android browser - period. It supports Flash (no hack needed) and it comes with all the features I need/like. I simply can't stand Dolphin's gestures. Boat Browser uses a very similar engine but (although it supports some gesture) it mainly works on button-based interactions.

Actually NONE of the browsers fully support flash video in-frame on websites.
In other words, we can all play any flash video as long as it's not embedded in
a webpage.
There are a very few websites which are setup in such a way that allows any of the new
models of android phones to play/view flash videos which are imbedded in the webpages.
My S2 and S3 had no problem doing it............. I am sure sooner or later there will be
a mod, fix or an upgrade so it works properly all the time on any webpage.
