The problem is that Google Chrome (but not Chromium, the basis, and almost an exact replica of Chrome) comes with it's own Flash plugin. I don't know if that stops it from using other plugins, but im guessing so, unless you edit the plugin path.
You can also check this tutorial How to install flash on android devices, you woud find latest .apk version there
Try Firefox...it works great with Flash

I installed the first leak, and then upgraded to the latest (8/1) leak using a nice video by a user named Mejdam on YouTube
Everything works great and it's really fast. I'm loving the new 2.2 features.
(Install the new google voice search from the market, it's fantastic)
I heard that there were some things missing, like ringtones, notifications, and HTC Twitter, and I don't really miss those things.
However, there is no flash 10.1. In fact, there is no in-browser flash. I really need help on how to get it. I've read that it needs to be installed separately, but it does not work from the official Adobe website nor from the market. Can some one help me? Where I can install the latest Flash 10.1 for the browser? This is the main reason I installed the leak. Thanks in advance, and I really hope someone can guide me to install this properly.
Additional notes: The files I used to upgrade were provided by Mejdam's links on youtube. Also, I found a download link in another post that led to Flash 10.1. When I downloaded and installed the apk, I had the same old Flash I used to have in 2.1 (Slow flash)

install that thru Astro and u will have flash 10.1.
I believe if you just use a file explorer and go to /system/app the .apk is already there you just need to install it and your set.

on the 8/1 leak there's absolutely no flash player installed or existent. you have to download the apk and install it.
Anybody that has a maguro updated to the JB preview, does Adobe Flash Player show up in the Play store for you? Does it install? Does it work in the browser?
Confirmed works for me.
From my experience with the SDK emulator the browser still supports plug ins and flash installs fine. I couldn't get any flash elements to load but this could be because I wasn't using the right flash apk. My impression of JB from the SDK emulator was that it wasn't very drastic of a change from ICS so its very likely flash will work on most devices that it worked on with ICS. Most of the changes with JB are software enhancements and new software features.
Thanks for the answers. I was wondering because I recall reading that Adobe said that ICS would be their last iteration of Android that they would support and even that was reluctant. Also, now that Chrome is the default browser in JB (I think) it also does not support the Flash plugin that I'm aware of.

There is a difference between not being supported and not working. The default browser in the SDK emulator and probably in AOSP is still just called browser and works in the same fashion the ICS one did. Chrome isn't open source so it makes sense that its not being distributed with JB. I wonder if it will be included with the JB GApps?
Just a heads up....
I know Dolphin HD + flash is a popular combo for many on this forum.
I just updated to latest HD and when first opened it tells you Flash is not supported in Android 4.1 since it will crash the browser and thus has been deactivated. Went to settings and could not reactivate it.
I had to do a restore of all of my apps and was able get back to Dolphin HD 8.5.1 which is the last version Flash was enabled.
Perhaps someone will hack 8.6 to enable Flash in future. For now, don't update to 8.6
I've switched to Aurora and AOSP Browser for now. No idea what Dolphin devs are thinking. Way to completely lose your user base.

Starting from 4.1 Android does not support flash. Kind of a shame if you ask me. Hope HTML5 takes off for more interactive web content on mobile.

Android supports it just fine if you sideload the .apk. Play Store is what doesn't support Flash on 4.1.
Anyone finding that Dolphin 9.0 says it's incompatible with the Nexus 7 running stock 4.1.2?
I just went to install the new Jetpack add on, and found that the version running on my N7 is older (8.5 something) versus my phone (running a CM10 based ROM with 4.1.2 in it).

Doesn't look like jetpack is available yet for tablets. Where jetpack requires 9.0 where you found out that the current N7 has an older version.
On an off note, there is a Dolphin for Pad version. Made for Android tablets. However the browser is not compatible with the jetpack add on...yet. Be patient, I'm sure they will come out with a tablet version soon.
Thanks for confirming.

Just received a response from Dolphin support:
I'm so sorry for the inconvenience.
We find the issue occurs while installing Dolphin Browser on tablets. And we are currently working on it. Please keep update with us.

+1 Was just about to ask the same question, its the same on 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 "not supported on your device" i can install jetpack though, gutted because its a really smooth browser, why isnt chrome that smoooth!?
What i did was sideload the dolphin 9 apk from a titanium backup on my phone. Just shared it to google drive and installed from that app on my nexus...installs just fine and jetpack works as intended.

Is flash compatible with Dolphin?
Dolphin is visible in the app store again. They must have fixed the compatibility flags.
I seriously doubt if the new version works with Flash though - we had to use a specific older version for that.
Someone install the new one and try it!

Yep..they fixed it and I can install it on my tablet today. Last night it wouldn't.
Really fast browser....but why don't they make the interface better? You have to press 3 buttons to get to share or settings.
Anyone have issues with 9.0 constantly crashing? I've never had it either just "disappear" or pop up a "Dolphin has Crashed, E-mail debug log" before today, and it's happened twice in the space of 5 mins with the latest update.

Yeah, wiping its data cleared up my FC issues.
But I had to revert to the previous version- the context menu (long-press) is gone on images, so I can't save them anymore. I've reported it though, so hopefully it'll come back in the next version.

Hi,
This might not be specific to N7 2013
but after kitkat update flash player sems to be broken, I am unable to see in browser flash video.
I am using Flash player v 11.1.115.69 and latest version of firefox beta.
Is anyone else facing the same issue, any workarounds ?
I think it doesn't work because of 4.4. I can't get it to work on my N5 and others from N5 forum can't also. I think I'll keep my N7 at 4.3 until there's a work around.
I have the same issue. I've tried using different browsers (Dolphin, Boat, and Firefox) but no luck. From what I've read in the N5 forum, they are having the same issue, so it looks like it could be due to Kitkat.
very frustating indeed
Man... Argggggghhhh...... Google changed the web engine to Chromium. This is device wide & unless someone builds a custom app (browser) that uses the older AOSP web engine (& that is packaged with it), device side rendering is impossible. Server side rendering only for now, PERIOD.

Hmm. What's so special about Puffin? There's half a dozen of browsers claiming Flash support, but only Puffin works in 4.4.
puffin has integrated flash u don't need to install Flash separately
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
Puffin is a cloud browser. It uses server-side rendering and streams it to your phone. In this method, the quality is quite poor due to low frame rates and artifacts in the video. I have Puffin paid version.
ok, so then in whose hands is the destiny of Flash under KitKat 4.4? Is it Google/custom ROM developers? Adobe?

You can uninstall Flash you know. Puffin is server-side rendering, which is why it is not true HD on videos. As I mentioned above, unless an updated webkit is developed, there will be no device-side rendering due to the Chromium webkit.
Are there any good HTML 5 websites that you guys know for live TV and sports streaming? No flash is a big bummer!

u can install Adobe Flash Player 11.1 but it won't run i Firefox and Chrome don't support it so i dunno which bowser u wanna use.
Link for Flash Player: Adobe_Flash_Player_11.1.apk
EDIT:
Flash works with the "Dolpin browser" on KitKat but it's just laggy as hell, it wasn't in Firefox with Jelly Bean
so i hope there will come a fix for Firefox so flash will work under Kitty Kat.
Probably better to use the actual Adobe site for getting the flash apk - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
The last one (ever) is 11.1.115.81 - http://download.macromedia.com/pub...oid/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk
Edit: corrected version.

Has anyone tried the latest version of flash on Kit Kat? Any of the browser would allow flash to run on Kit Kat? I rally want to make sure I'm able to run flash before updating my nexus 7 to Kit Kat, because I'm mainly using the tablet for class and there's lecture videos that comes only in flash version. If I can't run flash, I'm not updating..

No, so far no browser running on Kit Kat can run the flash player plugin.
