Adobe stopped supporting the Android platform. That might have something to do with it.

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
Tried it doesnt work.
It crashed, and exits by it self after freezing.

Same here
I have installed last updated flash player.
and when i use flash content on Boat browser it crashed.
any fix possible ?
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 followed the process in this videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_md3foVM58&feature=youtube_gdata_player.

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

And from your video it appears you are using a hosts file to block ads?
Use the original hosts file and use Firefox with ad block edge add on. Perfect experience for flash.

If someone knows of a better way than this, please post. I watch a lot of sports on my phone/tablet and this is the only non-headache way I've found. Firefox not hiding the web address bar when you're on a site and the stream freezing if you choose full screen mode (so I just zoom in until it fills the screen) are both super annoying. Also you have to "tap to load flash" every time you load the page, but other than that it is pretty solid.
It sounds like a pain in the ass but once you get used to what you need to do, it's not so bad. The s-pen is really nice for closing the ads

I know that. But unless I'm doing something wrong, when using Firefox, you need to "tap to activate flash" each time you open Firefox

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.

What did you install on your phone? The flash apk on Adobes site shouldn't do any of that.
I use flash on the stock browser. When some sites can't be tricked into "desktop" mode in the stock browser I switch to boat browser.

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.

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.

use firefox for native flash support in the browser.

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.

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.

Which video? What do you mean "doesn't always work properly"? Firstly, you have to make sure that Jetpack and Adobe Flash player are sucessfully installed in your phone and the flash setting is always on. If it still doesn't work, you can an email to [email protected]. That's what I always do.
Where I can download that "hacked" version of it?
