Sorry for bombarding the forum with questions. As I've mentioned in a previous thread I just bought the gnex as a replacement since I'm grandfathered in and can't afford a new phone.
Anyway, sorry about that. Is there a way to get adobe flash without rooting. Can a apk work, if so could someone send it to me? I tried getting it via Google play previously installed apps but it won't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Flash is no longer supported beyond jellybean
There is a workaround follow the guide I linked to get flash working.
you can get the apk from official flash website, I use firefox browser after installing flash apk and it works just fine(most of time) I'm on 4.4 based rom
wish Adobe still officially supported Linux in general
Thanks both of you. I do intend on rooting just haven't had the time.
As for the .apk. Do you know if it will work with with 4.2.2 and other browsers or just FF?
Thanks.
PS
You said supported beyond JB. I'm on JB, 4.2.2

rooting your galaxy nexus will take no time at all
once you've unlocked bootloader and installed custom recovery(ALL EXTREMELY SIMPLE) you can just flash either the superuser root zip if you plan to stay stock, or ANY of the roms available all seem to come with root(except shiny, which to root you just flash the su zip after)
just wanted to let you know that it's NOTHING to be stressed about, EXTREMELY easy to do ANYTHING on the Gnex
I am POSITIVE it will NOT work with Chrome. chrome on android doesn't support flash playback at all, never has, go figure huh? the desktop chrome comes with it's OWN flash version, but not for android lol!
it SHOULD however work with the aosp stock browser, firefox, and dolphin browser(i think dolphin browser has a special add-on to support using flash)
and also maybe opera and some others. any specific one you were thinking about?
I can send ya the apk I use personally if you want it, no need to root to install it, just enable unknown sources in security settings in main settings, install the apk, and I usually reboot after that just to be "sure" is being recognized by browser apps.
and I'm not CERTAIN, but I think official support was stopped at/after.initial release of 4.1 JB, JB held the name from 4.1-4.3
Do you still need flash? I havent installed it and have no issues at all. Maybe it is included in the browser?

Hi all
If you have updated your Nexus to Jelly Bean using fastboot oem unlock all installed apps will be deleted.
After that I have installed the latest Flash Player from Adobe archive without success (version: 11.1.102.59)
A friend of mine got the update from Google. He also had installed Adobe Flash on ICS (version: 11.1.115.12).
This version works with Jelly Bean.
Because you can't download the Flash Player app from the store I've attached it for you.
(downloaded with chrome apk downloader)
Have fun
UPDATE: Archived Flash Player versions http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html (thx to maris__)
thank you so much
Will use when I get my tablet.

that's a gross overestimation. Unless you like to play flash games, 99% of internet is either flash-free or has html5/mobile-optimized alternatives.

Maybe he's including ads, in which case 90% of the flash you'd rather not see anyway. But it's nice to have when you do want it.

Welcome to GNex forum mate.
1. Maguro is GSM galaxy nexus, and yakju is non playstore galaxy nexus, there is takju too which is playstore, the different between them is just google wallet app. You can switch takju to yakju and vice versa easily.
2. Yes, already explained above
3. You can flash radio either from recovery (cwm or twrp) or fastboot command, you can find more info about radio and baseband on sticky thread in development forum.
4. Use aokp or other custom rom which have that feature, there is a settings to set that easily. Other way is framework and systemUI modification, which is too long to explain here.
There is a bunch of rom to flash, try it one by one when you getting bored with one try another one, you will find out what the best rom for you.
I would recommend you to try latest Xylon for 4.2 rom and darkPA for 4.1.2 rom.

2. Can i play 1080p videos in video player... does it lag or plays smooth?
I am very exited... i always wanted stock android rom feel but curse this touchwiz...
Sent from my GT-S7500 using xda premium
1. Galaxy nexus does support USB otg by default. The only thing missing is a proper framework for mounting expandable storage like USB sticks from USB otg, which is what stick mount provides, so yes you should just need root
2. The player will play 1080p just fine, however many audio codec isn't supported so you will want to get a third party player like MX player from the play store.

May I suggest you to flash stock image, you would be set in no time, but are you sure the phone you are going to get is still on ICS ?
I had to do it because of a wrong move in recovery, and now, my phone is acting as fresh as ever, just like one year ago. This phone got better and better through software updates, so enjoy it almost instantly with its newer software version .

Hello,
I did a search, but the only reference to tethering seem to involve custom ROMs. I have rooted the stock phone and need to use wifi tethering for my Win8 tablet. Is this possible? I tried turning on tethering in the phone settings, but it says to contact AT&T. So I downloaded a wifi tethering program, but no wifi hot spots show up on my tablet.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

there are touchwiz-based roms (if you prefer that look/style) in the Android Development section and AOSP-based roms in the Original Android section. look over both sections to see what you might like. read up. most touchwiz roms have been modified and have native tethering. tethering is also standard on the AOSP roms.
installing a custom recovery and rom are covered in the attached directions. cheers

Got Barnacle but it's not working. Says "Wifi: Could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: Operation not supported on transport endpoint". I suspect it's some monkeying around by AT&T...
I already told you that you can find a stock based rom in the Android development section that has tethering established on it. That feature will be listed among the other features in the rom OP. Do some reading/research for yourself if you truly want tethering instead of leaning on a half-baked app supplied by someone who's intel comes from straight talk friends. These developers are on this site for a reason...they're the best. Cheers
What's the ROM version on your phone? Flashable mods have been made for all the stock ROMs...
Assuming you're on the stock AT&T 4.1.1 release, you'll need to flash a modified framework-res.apk in order to tether.

China is a very tricky place to buy gadgets if you live there. I had the same problem with my first galaxy tab, and thats when i got aquatinted with XDA since then. No problems with S3's and Note 2's as you can find them rooted with proper ROM's even at the stores here.
I got my hands on the Note 8 as soon as it came, and there is not much happening in the development area so far. I have achieved Root, but failed to flash anything, as there is only 1 German ROM available. Anybody who can contribute in giving ROM and CSC solutions for expats living and working in China would be appreciated and properly thanked
take a look at the sammobile site, and be aware that the device is classed as a phone there.

There are a ton of stock ROMs for a lot of markets for the N5110. I don't know if there are as many for the device you have, which I think is a 5100?

Thank you for your suggestion. Yes i got the N5100 and sammobile is great. However it is blocked in China, and can be accessed only through VPN. Same like sites like hot file.com etc...

Unfortunately, the files are are huge (the stock firmware is a 1.1 gig file) so uploading and hosting is a chore.
If you had a copy of the play store would it work?
There are copies of the play store all over the place. I'd think you could extract the APK that's used with CM10 and install that, as long as you had root.

Thanks for the quick reply, bobthesalesclerk. Sorry I just came back. So the one in that post is not the CM12 you mentioned, but it claimed everything is smooth. But I noticed there are several posts on that exact the same even with three exact reply praising it - that's signs of fake.
So what is the bug in this CM12 built? What I really want is Sidesync 3.0 to go S3 with my Tab S, but I heard it's not working in this Lollipop for S3. Also, in most of looting to new built here using Samsung Galaxy S3 must be rooted, unlocked and installed with a recovery tool like TWRP or CWM. But this "fake" one just use a "nandroid backup" format. Now I am totally confused.
So anyone tried the new lollipop with Samsung sidesync 3.0 yet? and the result?
