[Q] Flash player issue after 4.3 OTA - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Just updated to 4.3 before I checked here. Now I have issues with flash player I have tried Dolphin, Firefox, and Boat all the same they lock up and give an error. Looks mostly in desktop mode.
Was also looking for a root thread also.
Thanks.

Will do.. willing to pay if it works. Is this a common issue with 4.3?

Remember that flashplayer is not supported on android since 4.1. But you can use flash with a browser that support flashplayer. In my opinion the best out there is Puffin.

Flash 10.1 for Defy is here :)

No need to settle for anything less than the full flash experience, just tested this at Vimeo and it's running great!
Get it while it's hot: http://www.sorensiim.dk/stuff/defy/flash_for_21.apk
Edit: Crap. No fully-working-flash yet.
Note to self: Needs more testing before proclaiming niceness.

Not working for me, it installs but unable to access flash eg bbc iplayer, facebook games
No disrespect but I don't think this is going to be the solution we think it is.
Loaded it too but its not working for me either.
I got this yesterday and noticed that rather than being a web flash player, it creates flash hyperlinks(?) and gives you the option to open flash content in a new program eg youtube player. Not sure if that was already the case, but it wasnt working for me before i installed it
What the deuce? Throw me some links and I'll try 'em, I only tested at Vimeo.com...

Just tested vimeo also, loads in a video player ( possibly stock) and plays just fine, probably due to the fact its in .mp4 format?
Also tested a few other sites eg wisevid.com, and no video would load but if you hold over the 'broken' space where the vid should be, a flash options menu appears to choose quality(working) and full screen(still broken)
has anyone tried using it on websites with embedded youtube videos?

Not helping, it won't install due to a same app with the same signature
And how can I fix the settings being reset everytime after a while? Really annoying

Uninstall the app using root explorer or titanium back up and install the version i linked you.

Still not working, now it just says App not installed without any reason....
Fixed Youtube, deleted it via Play Store and reinstalled it, seems to work fine now But the keyboard settings are still changing to standard.. Guess i'll have to wait for a new CM 10 build
The keyboard issue is related to Google Play - it's nothing to do with CM
Works great so far for me. It didn't have YouTube originally installed so I used that YouTube apk and it works fine none of the crashes you received.
There is one big issue for me though; MX Player can no longer play the avi files I have. Vplayer works but is more sluggish than MX.
MX Player worked great on original sense ROM.
For the record I am using tbaldens cm10 prenightly ROM.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
At this moment I have CM10-20120916-UNOFFICIAL-endeavoru and I have no problem except the Keyboard Settings issue, never played an .avi movie on my phone, but MP4 works great when I want to play them. With the same media player

Do you know any way to fix it then?
All known bugs and all has been answered before.
Anyway, have a look >> HERE , and >> HERE, I'm collecting the bugs and workarounds.
If Youtube doesn't work after deleting the apk and replacing it with the working one, just reboot.
And the keyboard not sticking you can fix with these tips too.

No you don't have to wait for a new build. Just back the keyboard up using titanium, uninstall it, and then restore the backup.
That will fix your issue.
I do not understand why it's so hard for some people to read.

[Q] Browsing is blurry and slow - can it be fixed?

Ok, so I just got the HTC One V and I really like it - except for when browsing the internet.
I've tried stock browser, dolphin and chrome, but they all have the same issues:
1) When zooming any text will blur stay that way for 2-4 seconds.
2) When scrolling down or up somewhat fast pages won't show for a few seconds - all I'll see is big white and grey squares.
3) Zooming and dragging seems pretty unresponsive.
The phone is up to date software wise and I'm running complete stock Android.
Is this just the way it is, or can it be fixed? I'm comparing to a HTC Desire which was my old phone, and it's far inferior on the One V - but only when browsing

I'm trying opera right now and it's better, but still not very good.
But is it fixable on custom roms?
I plan on rooting anyway, but I won't bother if this issue exists on custom roms as well. Too much of a deal breaker.
How is it on the the custom rom you're using sera??

Ok. It's weird, but that's how it is.

What about the rom in your signature? That's not the one you mentioned - I take it the one from the sig isn't stable and has a working camera?

Well a working camera/camcorder is an absolute must for me, so I'll have to wait for 4.2, but that's ok.
I'll look around and see if I can't find that rom you mentioned and try it out. If it works that would really be excellent

Hmm ok, so I tried Opera - last one I tried was Opera Mini - and it works really well. No blurry at all, so that's nice...I still just can't abide the fact that I can't use Dolphin or Chrome.
What's your experience Seraz, do other browsers than Opera work well on that rom of yours? It'd be awesome if I could get Chrome or Dolphin working - I would really hate being forced into using Opera.

I use the Rom on my signature and browsing is really ok if u don't have many apps running the Rom I use is free from all bugs everything works in an awesome way must try....
and I use only stock browser..never felt a need to change it (the Rom also has chrome pre installed)

You should flash a custom Rom to improve your overall all performance or go to settings>developer options select force gpu rendering it should help out
Sent from my One V
Tried the GPU rendering aswell, but didn't really make a noticable difference.
I'm getting rid of the HTC One V, giving the HTC Desire to my mom and buying a HTC One X for myself. That should solve it.

[HOW-TO]A way to solve the HW video playback problem of 4.3+

I am not good at English and I hope to express correctly.
Some people may suffering from HW video playback problem after upgrade GN to 4.3+.
Such as stutter or lag playing 720p+ videos with MX Player using HW+ decoder.
samples:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2403257&page=4
https://code.google.com/p/android/i...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=59020
I didn't have any problem with that and I thought someone must have figured it out.
But recently I tried to replace vendor files with 4.3 version(previously 4.2.2 version) and the issue occured .
Therefore I did some test and finally find the file causes the problem: /system/vendor/firmware/ducati-m3.bin.
Replace it with old version(example : https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=6E3D1F5C3B498D95!183&authkey=!AFiMOUXtt430Nrc&ithint=file,.bin) and it will be the same as 4.2.2.
BTW, GN with no ram modification in kernel is able to support AVC [email protected] .Please consult http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Levels
Now on to the network share I hope you can be helped to live.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, and I have the same problem with MX Player after upgrading to 4.3. Will this fix work on the S4 as well? I looked in /system/vendor and I do not see a ducati-m3 file there to begin with.

does anybody still have H/W playback problems after applying the recent fix? H/W+ works great for everything i throw at mx player. but H/W is still broken, a bit less laggy now, but far from fixed.
Oh you're the man. Thanks very much. I tampered the kernel day by day but can't did anything. Thanks.

I wouldn't post this if i was not for sure. I thought i was going crazy once i seen there was a new beta version out and installed it, version 5.0.3. I missed having Adaway enough that i would install it without root just to see the icon and to click around in it from time to time............not weird at all, i know
It even works for apps!......Download 'Ad Boom' from the Play Store and see for yourself

Wooo......slow down there buddy ?. There is always reasons to root. If only to change the bootanimation or to simply stop seeing "Permission Denied". I use Termux a lot and i will get "Permission Denied" for various reasons. It's nice being able to type "su" and seeing $ go to # then typing in that same command and it doesn't hesitate because now your the boss.
Change my mind ?
Yes, I do have an unrootable Note 10, lol (long story). Means nothing, I stand firm
