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.

install NHL GameCenter and FakeGPS. it's a winning combo. I suggest being one with the Chinese.
I assume you should be fine with that using a US NHL subscription. I have an international one
Here is the setup working. I'm just doing the HDMI out to my HDTV

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.

It sure does! I don't know what everyone is talking about. I've been using flash with stock browser since day one. Just side load the apk and make sure it's on from the browser settings and its a go.

use firefox for native flash support in the browser.
I believe dolphin works too. chrome, stock, Maxton, and opera do not support native flash in browser as well if at all.

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.

Hi guys
Basically due to the battery drain, I would like to switch back to 4.1.1. The problem is the stock browser in 4.1.2 has this text reflow (where you zoom in and double tap to resize text width) This is kinda a big deal to me coming from a HTC and I would very much like to keep this feature.
Is there any way to restore this browser onto the 4.1.1 stock rom? I tried uninstalling it via TitaniumBackup and then using my backup to restore the older version, but it just hanged at the "restoring" dialogue forever. I have also tried every app processing mode to no avail.
Can this be done? Or is there any other way to do this without titanium backup? I really wanna switch back to 4.1.1 but can't without this feature in the new browser.
Thanks for any help.
Seriously don't downgrade to 4.1.1
It has a high vulnerability to sds bug and exynos exploit.

I'm willing to take risk until Samsung fix the battery drain.
Does anyone know how I can get the text reflow on 4.1.1? I'm surprised people aren't that concerned with it. The reflow browser was always a massive advantage htc had over samsung.
I use chrome. So I have no idea.

This is the CM browser for use on TW based ROMs. I didn't make this, found it (don't remember where) and thought I'd share. Flash able zip. Flash, clear data, go to accounts and sync browser.
This will replace stock browser BTW, its not an "add-on"

Is this flashable in TWRP as well?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 4
Yup.
Ok so finally got it set up on zl. Followed steps from link below and works. You need to be rooted.
1. You need to remove chrome.Apk and browserproviderproxy.Apk from system/app using root explorer.
2. Copy the browser.apk to the using root explorer to the system/app and set permission to rw-r-r.
3. Last reboot phone and browser should now be installed.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187973
I've done this using instructions in the Z forum using root explorer. What's interesting is that the ftf from the US posted in the development forum comes with both Browser and Chrome built in. Wished it came with all the ftfs as I prefer Browser.
Take the browser apk from the us firmware

DId you change the permisions properly???

Yup, I changed it to rw--r--r like suggested but still not working. I checked for browserproxyprovider.odex but there isn't any, just the browserproxyprovider.apk
Has anyone gotten this to work? I wish I had my zl all ready so I can test...
Most likely won't work unless someone messes with the apk

Anyone got this working without root?
I am not at all enamored with Chrome and I did not have default browser on my C6506 at purchase.
Seems contradictory that Google won't simply provide essentially their own stock browser in the market.

There is NOT going to be ANY solution without rooting, unless you get a 3rd party browser from the market place..
This is Awesome! Anyway to get it Tabbed? like Tabbed at the top? I was able to do that with Muti DPI on my Note 2.
I'm not sure what your asking I had note 2 also and this stock browser is not exactly like the one on note 2 I wish it was.

Whoow I want this!! I was doubting between the HTC One and Xperia ZL...
The HTC One comes with a perfect stock browser; Flash, text reflow en quick controls.
The Xperia ZL comes with Google Chrome, which I hate, but this looks very, very nice!
Whatabout Flash? Text reflow? If you want and have time, can you make a little vid? :angel:
Flash and textreflow both work.

In this movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcItXcUgiEs&feature=youtu.be
of a Canadian user of a 6506 model of the Xperia ZL, you see 'browser' at 00:50:
So I've asked which browser it was:
Which browser is 'browser' that you've showed?
From Google Play? Otherwise a link to an .apk? Thanks for the video!
He answered:
Its the stock browser that comes on the phone - The AOSP Browser - Sony includes it on the Phone.
I've asked:
Wait, whut... :s
On the XDA-forum there is said that it isn't...
Do you have a branded version of the 6506? Provider-software?
Thanks!
Answer:
Phone is completely stock
It's Bell Mobility Version in Canada - Model C6506 - Bought without contract.
To be honest, Chrome works better on this phone than my Note II or any other phone I've owned in the past -
so I usually use it. I made this video the day I got the phone so I hadn't configured or used it more than 4-5 hours.
I'm sure any AOSP apk would work though - XDA should have it.
I WANT IT! No sh#t with rooting, just an .apk Somebody that can provide it? :fingers-crossed::victory:
Hello.
Can someone please port "Interent" app from Note 2? My understanding that app is "official" android's browser, what we got on N3 is something else...
Not only it slow, but many websites don't display properly and zoom doesn't work.
For example http://500px.com/photo/53047668 on N2 I could zoom in on the photo, on N3 I can't.
N3: com.sec.android.app.sbrowser v1.5
N2: com.sec.android.browser v4.3
I've tried restore this app with Tib, but obviously it failed.
Thank you.
[EDIT]
For these who's looking for the same solution:
1) delete|move or rename /system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk
2) copy View attachment SecBrowser.apk into /system/app/
3) set permission on it to rw-r-r (chmod 644)
4) optional if you want get rid of samsung's version of "Internet" app: delete|move|rename SBrowser.apk and SBrowser.odex in /system/app

I've wondered this too as the zoom doesn't quite work like on the N2. I noticed it first off with the XDA website.
However, rotate to landscape mode and it looks more like it should. Give it a try.
It might be the knox as well .. I know that using the same internet app you aint able to watch videos from certain sites. This phone has been nothing but security issues out the box .

Decompile a note 2 ROM and then go into system/app and get the sec browser apk and install it on your note 3. The installer should install it but if it doesn't push the apk manually into system app and change permissions to rw-r-r and reboot phone.

That's pretty much what Tib does, but the browser crashes on N3 (the rom I'm using on N2 is stock deodexed I317UCUBMJ4)
I installed the browser from the ATT note 2 Jedi x 19 I believe it was and that worked just fine for me on this N900T running on ATT.

Did you try deleting or moving the 4.3 browser to the ext SD card and then try installing the note 2 browser in system apps?
Try renaming or deleting browserproxyprovider.apk. I had to do this when using aosp browser

That's it! Working fine now (both browsers actually)
Thank you very much,
So far the only weird thing I've noticed is that when it gives you a chose in which browser open a link, both browsers shows as their package name, instead of "internet" is it used to be. And in android's browser instead "search on page" in menu it says "discourage automatic dev..."
Now I wonder what I'm gonna loose without that file?
