[REQ] Stock Flash apk (ASAP)

If you haven't yet heard, Adobe is ending all support for mobile Flash entirely on August 15th, 2012 (tomorrow). This includes stopping all new downloads of Flash, which means removal of the Flash apk from the Google Play Store. Since we're all enterprising smartphone users who still want to use Flash, I request that someone post the stock apk file. Even if we have backups like Titanium for the system data, it's nice to have a clean apk to download from for our future phones, especially since mobile Flash effective has no future.
Thanks in advance.

Google search for the apk. I know for a fact it's posted in many threads in the Nexus 7 forum.

Here is Adobe Flash 11 on Box.
LINK: https://www.box.com/s/cc14dabe4dcc8f9862d8

Honestly, I'm surprised how many people downloaded this from my box account.

Anyone having major problems with flash player working? I can't seem to get it to work. I installd and restored like 3 different versions and they all do the same thing. When I open a page with a flash video in it it appears normal (a white box with the little download symbol thingy in the middle) but when I press the video it shows a little blue box with a "x" in it I think or something like that. I've also tried different roms (a tw rom and cm9) and I get the samee result.

You aren't using Chrome, right? It isn't supported with Chrome. Try AOSP browser from ICS, Firefox, or Dolphin HD.

Am I the only one who paid attention when Adobe said flash will no longer accept new installs but you can find it in the archives?
Go to adobe.com and click downloads and then flash and choose android...it'll take you to the playstore to download it.
I did it andits working flawlessly on cm9.1 however its not in the "my apps" list in the play store

Adobe Flash Player

I've searched and couldn't find any helpful information regarding Adobe Flash Player working on the GS3. All I read was some have it working and most dont. So I decided to create a thread regarding this.
Me and a friend been searching google for along time and I finally found this youtube video thats 6 days old showing how to get in working.
THIS IS NOT MY WORK!
I tried it out and now i have Flash Player working in the Stock Browser. This is my 1st post so be gentle on me Ladies and Gents. I'm just trying to contribute to the community.

gingerbread wasn't 2.0. eclair was 2.0/2.1. froyo was 2.2; gingerbread was 2.3.
the small steps in versions are because they aren't big enough updates to warrant a big step in numbers. they are just incremental updates.

Flash works on stock browser on S3, make sure your on ICS for official support. For JB, you can search XDA there is a thread on how to make it work. Flash doesn't work on Chrome regardless of ICS or JB.

+1 Adobe ceased all support for android above 4.x, ICS and above... see article here and the list of compatible devices here.
And the video has so many uneeded steps, just download the apk and side load it with any file manager and use the Boat, Firefox or Dolphin browsers. Another work around is Skyfire, but that is outdated and las update was 2011...

Same here, there many sites that I go to to view video that are still in Flash (flv) format and the HTML5 take over will take a few years to get there. Youtube was one of the first adopters of HTML5, but many are still falling behind.
Thanks to this thread I've found the Boat Browser, was using Dolphin a lot more than Chrome. I find Chrome lacking and missing some features, expected a more robust experience. I'm going to keep it for now and see how it evovles over the course of time.

I'm using the xscope browser along with the swf player from Market. It's working pretty good...perhaps it'll work with chrome browser as well. Might wanna give that a shot.

After my longtime fight to get away from Dolphin browser I finally settled on Chrome. I use an app now called 'flashify' in the Play store. Whenever I hit a snag I share the page to Flashify which in turns allows me to carry the link over to another browser. In this case its the 'OCS Browser included in/with JellyBomb ROM.
Really bored one day I decided to track my battery usage and internet connections. I found that Dolphin was a bit of a hog compared to others. Can't get into the swing of Firefox. Used to use Boat but it seemsBoat was just right behind Dolphin Browser is size/data hog. It didn't really slow anything down that I could tell but I just felt Chrome would be... Less of a mem hog/battery/data hog than Dolphin. I could be wrong.... But seems to worm better for me. Just a thought...

Sorry for the typos.. Fat fingers syndrome.

yeah ive noticed that adobe flash is no longer in the market anymore, only reason why i was able to download from the market was because on the first day i got the gs3 i saw it once and download it on stock kernel, when i rooted and flash my rom it desappeared from the market, later found it under apps that i installed from my previous phone up until now from the new google data recovery. Now everytime i flash a new rom i can get it from the market throught the google recovery. forgive my ignorance, but whats so great bout the new HTML5 versus the adobe flash and what new features is it having?

Yup, if anyone wants to use flash with Dolphin, you'll have to find an older Dolphin HD app...but that typically crashes when you try to rotate the video...xscope works great with flash though.

I dont find the need of using flash with dolphin. Its the only browser that lets me see most videos online, in websites like gorillavid, putlicker and other. Dont know if it is because of the html5 support but it sure gives a nice performance. I used to watch the wire in dolphin at night

For those of you who go to the trouble of installing an old version of Dolphin- beware. Mine use to update itself to the new version all by itself. Even with updates disabled!

works only with stock browser

I have the apk installed. To see flash content I use Firefox beta. Works very well. Only crashed once while watching a video.

I could see any flash streams BEFORE the update with the default browser, but after the update, it looks like the Stock browser does not work with Flash anymore.
I can watch the streams with Dolphin Browser, but not with the default one.
Anyone knows a work-around to be able to see the Flash content in the Default browser?

Just use this along with flashify, which will allow you to open links that have flash running in them in your stock browser. Works well for me for the few times I need to see a flash derived page.

I've been using Dolphin Beta with the flash player, cause I think the newest Beta has some form of the Jetpack.
I use this to enable flash. Not so sure about the add-ons though.
At the very least, it's pretty fast, and it doesn't sacrifice flash.

Use "Puffin Web Browser" for Flash - Best I've experienced so far...overall....stable.

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.

Victorious!!!

There will always be updates to Flash but due to lack of support they're no longer pushed to your device. Therefore, you can obtain the updates as they roll out on Adobe's Flash archive site.
