[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.

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.

One unmentioned difference between fb27 and other ICS builds

One of the main things I noticed on the other builds is that they wouldn't play flash videos from full websites well at all. It would play them in slow motion. It seems as though, however, that they fixed that issue with fb27..... sort of. We can now watch the flash videos, but no browser can open them in full screen without crashing.
If you guys can, please try a few out and lemme know your findings. This would be a good bug to inform people about so everyone know what to look out for in the next builds.

Odd, but flash videos on full websites has worked for me since FB17 (I use Dolphin HD browser)...though you're right, the full screen bug has also been present since then -_-

I have a fix for this but it is for the Galaxy S port of ICS. It's because the ICS browser is not "fully" HTML5 enabled. It can only deal with mobile optimised versions of flash sites. You need to flash the full Adobe flash drivers and module. If you send me your current build.prop details I will make you a flashable zip that will enable all flash sites to play in both mobile AND desktop modes
also Samsung are a long way off with a fix gathering by the look of their latest framework.jar file. It still doesn't have all of the classes for HTML5

Why anybody would EVER use flash for anything ever is beyond me
I just redesigned a furchtbar site that used flash objects and other junk and via asp.net (unfortunately the server was IIS ) and thanks to CSS3 and HTML 5 flash is a thing of the past.
An HTML 5 video player with flash fallback is a good choice. For everything else PHP,JavaScript,html , flex, etc no need for flash.
Its 2012 the best way to design a site is with the latest technologies of PHP HTML 5 , etc. Fall backs for older browsers is not that much extra work.

Damn, you guys are wayyy beyond me. I never thought of flash and html5 of being inter-related that way. I always assumed that flash and html5 were like Pepsi and Coke (similar but made by different companies to establish a competition and offer a variety).
And i never thought of flash as something of that past. How it html5 more superior than flash?

I only hear iPhone fanboys talk like that because iPhones don't have flash. So nobody should use it.

Well, for one thing it's a standard supported directly by the browser, while Flash is a proprietary add-on made by Adobe. HTML5 has the potential to be faster and more secure, plus standard across any devices that support HTML5 standards. It IS considered the future and is definitely the direction everyone's shifting. Even Adobe's shifting focus to HTML5 tools over Flash ones.

Flash finally works in fb27 for me. I also notice that when the browser is done rendering it wontt show the whole webpagee until I start scrolling down.

One of the big differences is the modem, it's great. Where I currently am I've never gotten more than 1mb, tested this morning and got this!

probably yes but I have seen flash break many times even after minor android point releases, so by 4.1.2 it could be even, reduced to iPhone level

Its not the worst thing ever. I never have had a need for flash on my iPhone (obviously) or my android devices.

It's very old news, there's no flash in Chrome for android. This is actually very good news imo. Web developers, myself included, spent years creating crazy hacks to make things work in ie6. About 4 years ago a small group realized that as long as that happened there was no incentive for ie6 users to upgrade. Slowly it became more common to display a warning to ie6 users only using...
<!--[if lte ie6]-->
This has resulted in a huge reduction in use of ie6.
Flash is as dead as ie6 but as long as browsers keep supporting it people will keep using it. Advancement in web development technology has always been hampered by the idea that we must keep supporting old technologies.
Adobe are leading the way in html5 authoring tools and feel the alternative already exists, I agree.
HTML5 is absolutely ready for primetime. The W3C's definition that it isn't has to be seen in context, it's not fully defined so officially it is not ready, real world usage is effective though as most elements are defined and it adequately replaces flash and xhtml. So far, all browsers with no flash support are pretty good with HTML5 so its simple enough to code fall backs both ways so some see flash and some see html5 depending on capability. I recently created a video gallery for a client that does this, as a result the video player falls forward (as it were) to HTML5 when the browser is capable, thus videos can be viewed on iDevices and Android.

Not true, as a programming language html5 is way more efficient than flash (or actionscript). But just because it is a good language doesn't mean you can't write bad code in it.
Also, I for one have not had any issues with the implementation at YouTube.

Thanks for the heads up! :highfive:
I for one do not use NFC and rarely scan QR... But hopefully Samsung will take action on this security hole and patch it up ASAP, probably forcing them to send out JB sooner to the US variants together with the patch :fingers-crossed:

This can apparently be triggered by clicking a link on a malicious page too, not just NFC or QR codes. Not good.
However, from what I can see reading about this in a number of places, you're only susceptible if you're running TouchWiz... someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is a TouchWiz vulnerability really.
The thing I'm NOT 100% sure about is if you have to be RUNNING TouchWiz or if it can still be exploited if you're using a different launcher but still have TouchWiz installed.
---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------
Hmm, reading further, I guess I'm not sure what they mean when they say "TouchWiz"... do they mean just the launcher or are the changes Samsung made to Android, aside from the launcher, considered TouchWiz too? In which case what launcher you're using may not matter, you are at risk of this exploit either way. Not sure, although now I'm thinking launcher DOESN'T matter. Anyone?

I believe they are referring in some point to the TW dialer, since they mention a dial code that is present in AOSP dialer and the user can simply cancel before it goes out, in the case of TW dialer it automatically goes through without the ability to cancel at all. Scary stuff!
"Only Samsung devices running TouchWiz appear to be affected, with basic Android only showing the code in the dialer screen but not running it automatically, Pau Oliva reports. Samsung’s default, though, is to dial the code automatically."
I think the article needs a bit more detail...

Not launcher. TW rom. As long as you are on a TW rom your susceptible. Aokp, aosp, etc won't work. You pretty much have to be able to use dialer codes because that's how it wipes your data, it automatically puts in the wipe data code

Yeah, I thought it might have just been TW launcher at first but after reading things a bit more I got what you said too... that's not cool

Problem was reported by a dev on Twitter to SamsungCarla and she escalated it to security unit.

So, according to AndroidPolice:
The bug is based in the stock Android browser, is in fact quite old, and has been patched in more recent builds of Android - this is probably why Nexus devices running the most recent OTAs are unaffected. The fact is, this is not a Samsung problem, it's an old Android problem that has been known about for some time. More recent versions of Android avoid the wipe issue, but unpatched devices (like some Samsung phones) may still be vulnerable.

That's interesting because it says to me that just disabling the default browser, as I've done since I use others, should avoid the issue... that'd be my conjecture anyway... but I'm NOT willing to test
Plus, that link also has an update saying the latest OTA for the GSIII don't suffer this problem... but that's a pretty nebulous statement, vis a vis, does it mean the latest Sprint OTA for example, or does it mean the GB for international models that started rolling out in Poland?
You're definitely right, the true story seems to be something we're still waiting on

On android police they also say that the AT&T doesn't have it, it got patched last week. Maybe LI3 fixed this.

Yup, according to Engadget:
If you were worried about stumbling onto a malicious website and accidentally wiping your Samsung Galaxy S III or other TouchWiz smartphone or slate, you can probably breathe easy. It's likely you already have firmware on your device which isn't vulnerable to the so-called dirty USSD code, and if not, you can download it now, according to Samsung. The company issued the following statement on the matter: "We would like to assure our customers that the recent security issue concerning the Galaxy S III has already been resolved through a software update. We recommend all Galaxy S III customers download the latest software update, which can be done quickly and easily via the Over-The-Air (OTA) service." It turns out we couldn't reproduce the bug earlier as we already had the latest update, and you should probably check to see that you do, as well. Meanwhile, we're also checking to see if other Touchwiz devices have been patched, so don't forget to watch what you click.

The AC article is saying it depends on the dialer. Seriously, how could you allow a factory reset via dialer and then allow it to be triggered via browser? That's a major bug and it needs to be squashed.
AC updated their article and is now hearing that JB builds for S3 may have this patched already. Also got a confirmation via Twitter from @SamsungSupport that this has been sent to the devs.

Well even the iPhone is mildly vulnerable as loading the proof page triggers a popup to call the number (pressing call does nothing though), and from the original thread having a different dialer still triggers the code (someone tried with GO Dialer iirc)

the feature in the browser is due to being able to tap a phone number and call someone. having dialer code to factory reset is stupid since its in the settings and recovery.
in other news you can find out more info at www.shabbypenguin.com/wont/wipe/your/phone.html
its safe, i promise

I just installed a second dialer, with none of them set as default so now i am prompted if a website puts that code into the frame. If you get prompted to launch dialer while visiting any site, of course you would just hit the back button. Temporary fix.
One can visit this site to test if their phone's dialer is vulnerable, I am running FI03 stock and surely enough it shows my IMEI code.
http://dylanreeve.com/phone.php <- just a site to test if you are vulnerable.

It showed mine and I'm on el29 GB

The code that's supposed to work on the S3 (*2676*3855#) doesn't work on the epic touch.
The factory reset dialercode for the epic/epic touch is *#767*3855#

The dialer code for the e4gt is *#767*3855#
While the GS3 and Internation is *2767*3855#
So the sites that have to malicious frame in it for the other sgs2 models and s3 won't work on the epic touch.

One could always target our device by using the same code that opens the dialer for the other devices but with our dialer code instead.

You'd think it would ask for something like the msl before doing a reset, for safety reasons, but I guess not.
