Dolphin Disabled Flash for my Nexus 7

I followed the OP's instruction and got Flash to work on my Nexus 7 running Jelly Bean using Dolphin 8.6.1. Flash sites were pretty buggy and would sometimes crash Dolphin but they worked...at least for a few hours until I got a notification from Dolphin that Flash would be disabled in my browser because it was no longer supported and caused the browser to become unstable. Now all Flash sites won't work for me. When I go into the settings and attempt to turn Flash back on, it says "Flash player is not available...Read more in Adobe's pages." I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash but Dolphin's still not letting me enable it. Has anyone else figured out a way around this problem?

Flash in FireFox-Beta for JellyBean (Nexus 7)

I have a Google Nexus 7 tablet (4.1.1=JellyBean), NOT-rooted, with "FireFox Beta (v15.0)" installed from the Google-Play market, and "Plugins" enabled in FireFox (and in Android/Settings/Security the "allows Unknown sources" temporarily ticked). (I never tried Dolphin.)

As for others in this post, I just needed to download the first "...mediafire.com/?lqxd6qnr63kj2t1 (file=Adobe Flash Player 11.1 (1).apk" (from the initial post) in FireFox. -> As soon as the download completed, FireFox (or the Nexus) automatically installed this .apk. Flash now works OK in FireFox (although it's sometimes a little unstable).

However, can anyone clarify what the second "flash_player_11.1.102.59.apk" actually is, and why it does not seem to be required to get flash working on my Google Nexus 7? Thanks for any clarification!

----------------

PS.

>stempox: "Only one version is more recent."

Many thanks for this info! I have now found that:

File "flash_player version 11.1.102.59.apk" is as detailed v11.1.102.59

but .Apk of Flash Player:..mediafire.com/?lqxd6qnr63kj2t1 (file="Adobe Flash Player 11.1 (1).apk") is v11.1.115.12

* On my Nexus7 (android v4.1.1) the file flash v11.1.102.59 gives video but NO sound.

* However the file flash v11.1.115.12 gives both video and sound fine using "Firefox Beta (v15.0)".

(Although note that Firefox needed to be restarted after installation of the flash.apk before flash would work).

(I also downloaded "ES File Explorer" from Google-Play to assist install of the above .apk, but I note that android seems to be able to install downloaded .apk's by itself if you click on the "Download complete" line in the Nexus7's top-right "Pending Notifications" menu.)

Re: [GUIDE] [HOW-TO] Install Adobe Flash Player on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

Unfortunately those directions don't work for all phones. On some phones Dolphin likes to replace the preferences file when it starts. However if you delete the preferences file Flash preference will automatically be set to ON for Dolphin or ON_DEMAND for Dolphin Beta.

Edit: I agree with you though. People are obviously not reading the thread.

Thanks Stem, I just installed The Dolphin Browser and the Flash player that you recommended on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 that has Jellybean 4.1.1 And checked it out on the Global TV website which I couldn't view before,

[Android General] Bitser:
Had a problem with Amazon prime video, now I don't...

I have three devices running 4.1.1 (Jelly bean) that were either recently updated or already had it installed and of course I wanted to watch something that required flash. At first I had to find out why it wouldn't play and then I found this thread which prompted me to see what could be done to make it work.... I did run into an interesting situation which I will outline below. As far as the 4.1.1 devices: Samsung Galaxy S3, Tab 2 10.1, and an MK808 stick PC that started the whole mess of trying to get flash to work :o

Last night I worked with it and nothing really came out of it as my Amazon videos would not load, then I was working with the tablet and for some reason it worked with the stock browser without touching a single thing including the previously installed version of Flash.....and it is on Jelly Bean 4.1.1.... that was interesting as it should not. So with that making me wonder I for kicks I downloaded Dolphin from this forum and it also worked. The other two devices would not. That is what got me thinking and I found a solution that works for me and if you have a problem, try it. What was different between my tablet and my other two devices was the fact that I already had Flash installed, so I noted the version which was different than the other two and went from there as I thought I may be onto something. I then searched the version (listed below) and then loaded it first, then reloaded the browser on the MK808 stick PC and it worked the first time around. Huh. So I did check to see if the built in browser would work on it too... no such luck as the page for Amazon fails. No biggie as I do like the Dolphin browser and am simply happy it works. So this is what I did:

I installed in this order:

1. Installed Adobe Flash 11.1.115.34 (you can search it as it is in a thread on this forum as a zip file)

2. Dolphin Browser HD 8.5.1 APK (also in this forum in the how-to guide)

From there I opened Dolphin went to settings and for myself turned flash on so it was "Always On" and then I back out, then exited the browser then restarted it. From there I went to a page to check to make sure flash was working, once confirmed, I went to Amazon and logged in and all worked fine.

If I have any sort of question it is why does the stock browser on my Samsung tablet still work as it technically (from what I have read along the way) should not. If someone can shed some light on the situation.... that would be great. Otherwise I hope that this helps someone!

Double click

I've installed flash for my kids on an Asus transformer pad tf300t (standard 4.1 that came with the machine). It works reasonably well on the stock browser and a bit better on Photon browser. Sometimes when you click on a link, nothing happens. Other times when you click on a flash link (eg a next button), it often acts like it has been clicked twice and takes you forward twice. One thread said that a long press would work better and this helps some of the time. Are there any suggestions for dealing with this? I've tried firefox and dolphin too. Thanks.

I would like to use the dolphin beta, but it doesn't allow me to use flash. I've looked around here and every post that i've seen says that to allow flash to be enabled, you have to have root access. I'd rather not root my phone. Is there a way to do it without rooting?
[Android General] ChrisJay85:
My reply was for the flash 11.2 question but at least you gave it a try. I don't have the stock browser on my phone but I just tested 1080p on the browser I use and it worked in fullscreen. It could be a limitation with the stock browser?

If you're using Dolphin Beta then flash works fine. It will only be set for 'On Demand'.
[Android General] bsoplinger:
Re: [GUIDE] [HOW-TO] Install Adobe Flash Player on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

If you delete the preferences file for either Dolphin Browser it will recreate it with the plug-in set to on demand. You need root to delete that file however you can get around that by deleting the app. Of course this means you loose all preferences.

If you're rooted you can just edit the preferences file.
[Android General] ChrisJay85:
^^^^ That answer is so much better.
[Android General] wholocked10:
No, it says "off." Whenever I click to change it, it says "Adobe has officially discontinued support for Flash Player on Android.

I've tried puffin as suggested, but it didn't work for me. But I maybe I wasn't setting it up properly or something. I will say however it seems to run much more smoothly compared to photon browser. Although it worked, Photon was slow, laggy and just all around unpleasant to use.

I spent the better part of the afternoon looking at various posts around the net on how to get flash going on the new Nexus 10 tablets. Not a single tip worked.

You know, everyone talks about how people need to search for things. But it's not that simple. The search function in the xda app is awful. It will only search EVERYTHING not just one forum or thread. The website one is better but because the site is so busy, it's difficult to use on small screens.

I don't know what the answer is, its not like you can sticky every important post. And I know how frustrating it is to answer the same question over and over again. But when you have 10 or more pages of posts in a thread, I'd hope we can understand why people don't read every post. There are threads that grow by 1 or 2 pages every day.

The best answer would be a per forum AND per thread search functions.
