Dolphin Browser HD 8.5.1 APK (Supports Flash)

Since Dolphin Browser HD recently dropped support for Flash on all Jelly Bean devices, including the Nexus 7, people have been needing the old version of Dolphin Browser HD for use with Flash. Well, here you are.

Thanks

Thanks OP, very kind of you!
*Edit - Although Flash seems to work fine, when trying to go full screen it crashes out immediately. Currently Firefox does not have this problem.

This is great. I miss the pinch to zoom and the more functional address bar though. Not a poblem.

Anyway to tell the Play Store not to update it?

As of right now, no. I guess that's the price to pay to have Flash working on it though.

Maybe if everyone keeps giving it 1 star for disabling Flash, Dolphin will get the message and add it back.

Thanked
Did this yesterday and it's been smoooooth sailing so far. I'm new to Android and this made things a ton easier. :good:

I wonder if there is a way to change the apk or program to make it think your are running ICS so it still enables flash, besides editing the build.prop. From the Google Play update log it sounds like its merely disabling flash on JB while still allowing it to work on ICS/GB, so the flash supporting part of Dolphin is still there, its just being disabled.

I've been using XScope Browser.
Seems like Flash support is a little bit better on that one, but I haven't tested it extensively. Amazon Instant Video can be played full-screen, which is nice. I tried that with Dolphin, but it kept crashing.

Forget dolphin, try xscope

I can only find a pay version of xscope in the store? Would like to try before I buy?

I believe its because adobe stopped providing flash support for jelly bean. Also there is a new guy in town, he's called HTML5

just search for the flash apk and and install it, flash will work you just have to sideload it

Since i cant post links yet, go to google and put in "adobe flashplayer archives". click on first link.
Scroll down to where it says "Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives" and download the latest build. Even though its for ICS, it works perfect for JB. So yes you can still have flash on JB

you can still sideload flash.
i've also been using mozilla aurora with phony add on and selecting ipad for UA. it sucks that using iPad as your user agent is better than using default tablet. aurora support html5 streaming media, unlike FF.
btw i don't have the sgn2 (yet) but have used JB on sg2.

Ok, thanks I'm about to try that out

Flash isn't supported by Jelly Bean if that's what you're running. Check this out. This is a short article about it that also gives work around or two to help. There are also a tin of posts here on xda that talk about it. You can also use other browsers that will play flash. Hope it helps:

Dolphin has disabled flash support for several versions now. Boat still allows flash. It's the main reason I switched from Dolphin to Boat.

I can confirm using Adode 11.1 and using Firefox works, have to make sure you activate the plugin, can't remember how I did that though... haha
I think I went to the Flash settings and allowed it to use the plugin, I also have to do that when I try to play a video

Is anyone else having problems with youtube playback? It just started two days back, and it's only my phone, the vid plays on a PC.

Weird, I swear my Chrome browser is working with Flash just fine. I did, however uninstall this app because it was a nuisance.

I just upgraded from the old EVO 4g to the S3 and I just downloaded the flash for 4.0 from Adobe. Is there any certain way to install to get it to work properly and I am still using stock browser? I had my EVO for two years+ and I am enjoying the new S3! Thanks!

There is usually a setting for managing add-ons in the browser settings menu. Personally, I use Boat, which allows Flash "always-on" or "on-demand" settings.

It's not actually playing flash, but html5 instead (where it's supported). YouTube is a great example, but many flash-only sites are broken in chrome .

so give Google time to make Chrome a perfect browser, since Adobe will never ever support android phone (I think so), ya html5 kind of cool

In a nutshell, flashplayer mobile cannot or is yet not supported by chrome android. To view pure flash content you must use the android stock browser

pretty sure Google will never bring Flash to Chrome mobile since they are pushing for HTML5 and Adobe announced its going to stop supporting Flash for mobile.

Try firefox. Pretty good mobile browser as well and it can run flash.

Adobe Flash Player 11.1.115.81+ apk

I had the apk from my tf300t and figured I'd give it a shot. Installed and working perfectly using Boat Browser. Haven't tried other browsers as yet.
Here is the url for the thread:

I just wanted to share it because the only other available guides for installing Flash for our devices that I've seen seem to involve a lot of unnecessary steps/videos/ad-based links, popups and even dead ends.
This is just a simple straightforward apk download and install.
Hope this helps.

I just downloaded the latest apk from their archives, and installed it as a normal app. Works perfect. You can keep current with this site. Just check once in a while to see if there was an update:
Just scroll down to "Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives"

Now that you pointed me there, I'm seeing my post was less than helpful. I really mostly misunderstood the guides that I followed. Sorry if I wasted anyone's time.

Chrome uses HTML5, and native codes to play videos. I've been able to play all videos in Chrome that only used to play in other browsers that needed Flash Player. It's a toss up now for me. If you like Chrome then use it. If you find a site that won't play videos then at least you can fall back to another browser that can use Flash Player like Firefox.

Yes. Just note if you're on anything before 4.1 you can just install from the Play Store. 4.0 is the last official version supported, but it still works even on 4.4.
