Try Boat Browser. Very similar to Miren. Miren was my choice too. I like Boat just as much.

I have miren and could post it if you need it. Pm me I still use it every day

If you could please post it. I just flashed cm7 today and went to d/l just to find it missing.
Ugh. Guess I'll try boat out in the meantime.

Miren browser fc's on me whenever i try to download anything using that browser.. i stop using it and went with dolphin mini..

Rumor has it that Dolphin is recording your inernet travels and phoning it home. At least I read a thread on here one day about it. Enough reason for me to leave it alone.

The cool thing about Miren is that you could get your bookmarks from an HTML file. I have yet to figure out how to get my bookmarks from Chrome to Dolphin, Opera, or the standard browser (I got them in the standard browser but not in folders, lame). I have ChromeMarks so know about that.

Its still in the market. My Touchpad couldn't see it either running CM7 for some reason. Try googling it in the browser and then click on the link to the market and select "open with Market" and it should show up and allow you to download. Worked for me on the Touchpad.

Another +1 for Opera Mobile.

Damn, another great app taken off the market.
Guess Maxthon Browser is next in line for default on my phone.

Do you use titanium? When I first flashed CM7 I thought I had lost most of my apps but they are at the bottom of the list on titainium with a line through them. Just restore them. I thought I had lost the anarchy launcher from TriNitY ROM but there it was.
Edit: The opera mini is really light on systems

Yeah, I saw the same on the XDA News section a while back. A day after it was discovered, the person who discovered Dolphin was "logging" your internet travels released a method to disable it. Afterwards, Dolphin hopped on board and disabled that function in an update. Dolphin was again tested and was found to no longer log anything.
My Top 3 Browsers (for anyone who cares to know) are as follows, and are in NO particular order:
Skyfire
Dolphin Browser HD
Opera

Opera mobile is amazing functionality wise, but the UI iss clunky as fluff
I tried boat a long time ago, but when I did it seemed very close to miren. Go for it

Just discovered Miren missing myself. I still have the apk, but it started having...issues. It was rendering the full version of pages no matter what the user agent was set to. I'm going to try Boat, based on what's being said here, but I also really dig xScope. Might go that route.

You can only use flash player with the stock browser, check the settings in the browser and make sure flash player is set to always on.

I can't find setting on my stock browser

You go to web helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html download for android 4.0 . That work with app internet browser( you see pictue app --> world) but not work chrome browser.

I spent 1 day searching the setting in stock browser. I didn't scroll down because I tought that setting tab would have been on screen due to large screen size. Thanks a lot.

You can also use opera browser. Iy has flash support as well and it a pretty decent browser.

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

OP didn't upload the latest version of flash. Get the latest version straight from Adobe.

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.

i wouldn't care about this subject at all, except the NHL websites all use f*cking flash for the highlight/fight vids. annoying.

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.

Go to Adobe's standalone APK installer site to get an updated version of flash. Just scroll down to "Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives" and install that, restart phone and you're good to go

I can confirm that flash in Boat Browser, and Boat Browser Mini, does work. I had some crashes in Boat Browser before I tried mini, and mini has been running smooth.

I find that many websites don't load the flash video correctly and displays a black screen. What I do is open another tab and type in settings.adobe.com/flashplayer/mobile/
then when I go back it shows the video play button. Normally you do it once, but it doesn't save the settings. I love firefox but man boat browser has a killer bookmark manager and speed dial.

I haven't had any issues using flash in boat browser.

maybe its different if you bough the gs4
