hmm, im on a rogers galaxy s3 (i747m) using a AOKP JB rom (aug 23rd release) and i tried the deleting the xml file in the tunny brower folder etc.

I can open up the page and the video loads and you can see the grey bar fill up but teh video doesnt start... anyone else has this problem using AOKP rom and the s3?
[Android General] Fireplug:
All videos, or a particular one? If you post which one I would be happy to test on my transformer prime tablet with baked JB rom to see if it is device or rom related.
[Android General] Dmkjr:
All videos that require browser driven flash players for me. Ie- streaming sport events.
[Android General] Fireplug:
Hmm.

Not sure if it rom, phoine or method related because I just went to ESPN.com and the front page lets you watch live TV and it works fine on my transformer prime on Dolphin Browser on Baked JB Rom.

Maybe try my first method rather than the xml file delete method?
[Android General] azz4eva:
Hi I downloaded the dolphin browser from the play store and then deleted the file you said but flash shows as always on now but when I go to a flash site I get same prob. Any help?
[Android General] Fireplug:
Can you give me a specific site you are going to in which it doesn't work, and the rom and device you are using?
[Android General] tarroyo:
I'm all little confused you say in the OP 'You can backup your bookmarks first if you wish but can't do a full backup and restore of all your settings because they will overwrite what we are going to do'

How would you back up bookmarks without a full backup and restore? I thought that was the only way.
[Android General] Cheesethief:
The latest update to Dolphin Browser (regular, 8.8.1) prompts on start up after deleting the xml that flash cannot be used.

The Beta still switched to on demand though, which isn't bad.

Edit:

Deleting it then doing a restart on the phone seems to have done the trick and did not prompt me that Flash is not supported.
[Android General] JRRipper:
Not to downplay the OP but I was able to install these Apk's successfully on my unrooted Nexus 7. I just went to the Play Store, downloaded 'Apk installer app. Then after download in dolphin 8.5.1apk and the Adobe Flash ICS apk, I then used the Apk installer app to install both applications. Almost forgot, I did check off the Unknown sources tab under settings > security > device administration > unknown sources. Thank you for posting all the apk files. They were very helpful! I now love my Nexus even more!
[Android General] FlooDnl:
It seems i cannot find the folder or file:

[Android General] hunyadia:

I ran into this issue earlier, After installing Dolphin open it up run thru the setup then after you get to the hompage close the browser. The 'shared_prefs' folder should show up now!
[Android General] FlooDnl:
Your second link is also working here! Think we have awinner
[Android General] experto1:
Just for those who prefer to editing settings instead of deleting. Change the following value in data/data/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser/shared_prefs/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml to:

<string name="plugin_state">ON</string>

and Flash will always be your friend again.

[Android General] manman1:
Not sure if this will work for everyone, but here is something I found during my attempt.

On stock Verizon galaxy nexus, got the JB update last night. once I saw flash not working I dl and installed dolphin 8.5.1 and flash player 11.1. and set flash to always on. pinch zoom then stopped working and I found this guide. I was going to go with the option for latest dolphin ver + delete that file, so I went to dolphin in Play and hit Update.

Without determinant files I now have pinch zoom working and flash is still set to always on. tested and confirmed working. haven't rebooted the phone yet though hopefully still works after that. I'm noticing a lot of other annoyances w browsing since this whole JB/browser update fiasco though... like Swype not auto spacing, and capitalizing every word as if it's the first (if auto cap on). Dolphin also doesn't seem to switch user agents correctly, I've been stuck seeing desktop version even though I set to Android...

oh sweet, lost all my bookmarks toI.. the whole reason I updated instea of uninstalling/reinstalling. awesome.
[Android General] tarroyo:
Be sure to report these issues to dolphin at support@dolphin-browser.com so we can this worked out in the next minor/major update.
[Android General] oscarwylde:
Thanks for the location, worked beautifully... had to do the deletion through the terminal but fixed my problem.
[Android General] FlooDnl:
Well this time i do think i can make many ppl happy.

There is a way to run flash on all devices it seems but this is thanks to 1 special browser namely: puffin web browser.

I tried it and yes its a bit slow but it works ace i quote from the website:

http://www.puffinbrowser.com/

Flash Support

People say that mobile devices can't handle the burden of Flash content, but we say otherwise. We believe your Internet experience should not be limited by your device. With this in mind, CloudMosa developed remote Flash execution technology, just for your enjoyment. You can watch Flash videos, play Flash games, and tap into an endless sea of Flash content, all by running Flash on our servers.

Full Screen Flash Video

Do you like Flash videos? Puffin Browser not only lets you play Flash, but also gives you the ability to play Flash videos in full screen. Full screen mode is the perfect way to smoothly watch the content you so desire. If a Flash website supports full screen mode, a preview tab will automatically appear. You must give it a try.

First of all i hope i aint getting trouble advising this but i would advise to try look for an ripped APK like i did and check if this is indeed what you been looking for if you like it delete it and buy it to support the devs. I do not tried the free version (dont know why not) think i wanted to feel how the full prog is working.

Please all give it an try and if i helped you pls click on the thank you button.

Acer A200 Android 4.1 with flash player on dolphin hd and firefox

Hello to every one.

I install android 4.1 on my acer a200, but google play says that do not support Flash Player any more.

So I open my nandroid back up from clockworkmod recovery , go to data zip and find /data/app/, I open and install the flash player back up file.

I deltete the tonybrowser file one.

And now I get flash player on firefox and dolphin browser.

On dolphin is good but on firefox like as it set low resolution rendering, flash player on firefox is show so bad with low resolution and some text can not be reeding.

Thanks. :good::laugh:
[Android General] mooryside:
i just did this method and can confirm flash working on the Googleplay version of dolphin browser. v9.0.0 . you need to download the ics flash player from the op, download and install the latest dolphin browser from Googleplay, then edit the settings above. i used es file explorer. not forgetting to enable mount file system toggle, root explorer, and up to root toggles in es file explorer or you won't be able to save the above changes. hope this helps someone else.

mooryside
[Android General] mooryside:
edit: sorry guys had check the browser only with you tube. other sites didn't work. so i just delete the file instead andit works now
[Android General] Coot07:
I am also confirming flash works with Dolphin Browser v9.0.0 . The best way to delete the file is with Solid explorer. Just go back to "System root." The steps mooryside posted for es file explorer only shows the "lib" file and there is nothing in it. After you delete "mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml" in Dolphin Browser settings->Web Content-> Flash Player will say Always On. The ONLY WAY to view videos (porn, Vimeo, etc.) without pixelating(breaking up) is through FULL SCREEN mode.

Steps:

1. Download and install Dolphin Browser 9.0.0 and flash player ics(from post #17 Thanks FlooDnl)

2. Open Solid explorer and press back twice to "System root"

3. Delete "mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml" in data/data/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser/shared_prefs

4. That's it!!!! You now have working Flash :laugh:
[Android General] scmobileman:
Worked perfectly for me. Thanks for much for the tip.
[Android General] letrouble:
thankx for thread, solved my problem
[Android General] gordievsky:
Thanks! Confirmed work with deleting the file in data.. Also another tip, if you're trying to stream sports on full screen, (won't list site as i dont' want to get in a row, but its the first, well known one).

Select Dolphin Settings, lab,open in background tab. This lets you close the pop up windows (they come up even with ad block) and push the "full screen" button in the flash player.

Without this tweak, when you touch the flash player, a new window opens in the foreground and that stops the stream from receiving data and friezes it.

Thanks for the tip.
[Android General] techgov8:
Worked so I can keep flash to "always on"! Awesome! I've been stressing about this too cause I love dolphin and hate the stock browser but the flash is a necessity

Tap'n
[Android General] Perks:
Instead of deleting The file if you edit it and change this line you can choose

The options are:

ON

OFF

ON_DEMAND

And yes "on demand" works flawlessly
[Android General] Dexter_prog:
doesn;t work. Dolphin changes it back to OFF
[Android General] Perks:
Working in my Nexus 7, i can assure you that.

Maybe you have Any kind of restore enabled, dont even now if dolphin has this feature

Maybe try deleting file and then reopen dolphin, so the file could be recreated, then try to change it back to ondemand
[Android General] cdt2s:
I found an easier method that didn't require rooting my phone.

Ok, so this is what I did:

Open Dolphin Browser on ICS device, go to Settings then select Privacy & Personal Data and Backup.

Open file manager and go to /sdcard/TunnyBrowser/backup and there should be a file called dolphinbackup.

Copy dolphinbackup to /storage/sdcard0/TunnyBrowser/backup on Jellybean device.

Open Dolphin Browser on Jellybean device, go to Settings then select Privacy & Personal Data and Restore and my Flash Player settings became the same as what I had backed up from the ICS device.

I did this using a Galaxy S II running ICS and a Galaxy Note II running Jellybean. Seems to be working without any problems.
[Android General] roofus3000:
Thanks its working so far....Do you think this will work with Dolphin browser beta as well?
[Android General] Cheesethief:
On jelly bean, Flash seems to play better with Naked Browser than with Dolphin. At least that has been my experience.
[Android General] neim81094:
Thanks mate this helped alot deleting the mobi.tunnybrowser w/e really helped out alot instead of me uninstalling and reinstalling everything :D
[Android General] pktrivedi:
Nice

Nice info.

I was looking for this.
[Android General] ulremember:
Hello to all. I have been looking at the available posts as to how to get Flash on my JellyBombed Sprint S3.

I am a bit confused due to me being a NOOB at this.

DO I need a ICS phone to get Flash to work on my JB device?

I do not have another phone to use. Is there a way around this step that I see. I kinda understand how to delete the mobi Tunney file. Have not gotten to that step to try yet. I deleted Dolphin with Titanium Back up and now I need help with the subsequent steps. I would love to watch streaming sports using wiziwigs streams. I work on most weekends and would hate to miss my STEELERS playing on Sundays.

ANY help and or guidance is very much APPRECIATED. The posts and advice here on this forum is PRICELESS. Thank you ALL

Blessings

Anyone know where the setting that turns 'Dolphin Jetpack' on/off is located in the preferences xml? Your not given the option to turn it off using Dolphin Beta.
[Android General] neim81094:
Don't you need to download jetpack separate? Just uninstall it

Sent from my SGH-T999
[Android General] tarroyo:
Even if you have it installed your given the option to turn it on/off in Dolphin Browser, that feature is missing from Dolphin Beta.
[Android General] jkel777:
Just out of curiosity, if I uninstall Dolphin Browser, reboot, then reinstall it, will that xml file come back? I deleted it a while ago using one of these guides. I'm running CM10 and have an AT&T HTC One X.

EDIT: Went back to the folder containing the xml preferences, and it's actually still there. Like the OP said, Dolphin Browser regenerates the file after it's deleted. However, if for some reason I want to get back to the original preferences of "Off" for the flash player, like I said above, if I just uninstall Dolphin, reboot, then reinstall it, will that get me back to default?
[Android General] Cheesethief:
Yes.
[Android General] ulremember:
I am on JellyBomb 10.2 on My Sprint S3. I side loaded adobe and I use the basic internet explorer and adobe works. Am I very fortunate for it to work with out dolphin browser?

I hope I get a reply which had not happened on a few questions I have asked and posted.

[Android General] Scorcinaio:
hi i did what you told to keep the flash player always on but if i erase the file there is no way to set the download directory in the micro sd.

differently from dolphin 8.5 with the version 9.1 (the latest) you can't simply type the directory's address, you have to browse for that but you can't g upper than /storage/sdcard/ (can't reach extSdCard) i tried to downgrade to 8.5, set the download folder to extsdcard again, update and erase the file, but as soon as you erase the directory become in sdcard and you can't reach extsdcard.

do you know if there's a way to have the latest version with flash and with the download folder on extsdcard? i am using samsung galaxy note 2

multi user problem on 4.2

hi guys, running mywingray ROM on my xoom.

have this working as above with the play store dolphin browser on the primary user but it doesn't work on the secondary user.

root browser isnt being granted superuser so cant delete the offending file. any suggestions?
[Android General] jerzyjerzy:
If your Android is rooted, you can edit the preferences file (mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml in data/data/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser/shared_prefs) and change the folder name there directly (from "sdcard" to "external_sd"). I did it, it works.
[Android General] Hutchism:
Thanks for the info. For those who are not yet rooted for whatever reason, Firefox runs flash with no mods (for now). Just install the flash apk. Might want to back your version up or stop updates updates though.

Shiny new nexus and putting off rooting as I don't have a Windows machine handy. Flash is a deal breaker though. ;)
[Android General] androidHacks:
Please add toggling the plugin_state to on to first post

Can you please add into your first post the much simpler method of editing xml file and changing the plugin_state xml tag to "On" from "off"?

That method saves your other settings and having it in the first post would save us all time from reading through the entire thread.
[Android General] rivaldos:
does anyone know how to change download folder to external? new dolphin v8&9 only allowed to download into internal storage. any file to delete/change?
[Android General] mordant23:
Whenever I try ON_DEMAND, Dolphin automatically changes it back to "ON". I can live with that given the sites I use but it would be nice to have On Demand. I've read the entire thread but is there something I missed about changing Flash to On Demand instead of Always On?

I'm using Dolphin 9.3.1 on a Samsung Galaxy S 4G with the latest CM 10.1
[Android General] Perks:
I'm using it on the nexus 4, and on demand works with dolphin 9.3.1
[Android General] mordant23:
Thanks. I wonder why I can't get that to work. What files did you delete or modify? What permissions do they have?

I modified the preferences XML file after I did the delete file trick. I have tried various combinations of rw------, rw-rw----, and rw-rw-rw.

I saw that Dolphin Beta advertises that it's Flash compatible so maybe this whole issue is moot.

Edit: Dolphin Beta is not Flash compatible out of the box regardless of what the market description says. Maybe they didn't get around to editing it.

[Android General] Perks:
I didn't deleted any file

just changed that specific line nothing more than that, and on my 3 devices running jb the "on demand" sticked

Just for the record the permissions are exactly the same there were when I installed dolphin, 0660
[Android General] mordant23:
Thanks for the info. I just tried to make the modification without deleting the file first. I also uninstalled and reinstalled both Dolphin and Dolphin Beta. I made sure the permissions were rw-rw---- which is the same as 660, right?

I'm at a loss as to why Dolphin replaces the preference file every time it starts on my phone. The only other thing I can think to do is try to save the preferences file prior to a reinstall or look at using a different file explorer than ES Explorer and its text editor. Maybe the EOL format is incorrect? What text editor did you use?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G with Cyanogenmod 10.1 with the XDA app
[Android General] Perks:
I used rom toolbox pro, and the built in root browser and text editor

Have you sure you capitalized all the letters, and inserted the underscore?

It's

ON_DEMAND
[Android General] mordant23:
Yeah, I have the correct spelling and underscore. The gesture keyboard helps with that. ;)

I'll try CM's file explorer and see what happens. Something must be triggering Dolphin's urge to respawn the settings file.

Thanks for everyone answering my questions.

Edit: Victory! Using CM's text editor did the trick. My guess is that ES text editor settings changes the file somehow. I'm tempted to test just what the change would be. My guess is the EOL settings.

[Android General] skiddingus:
That is amazing. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why the xml file kept changing back to "OFF" every time I started Dolphin. I had been editing the xml file with Root Explorer. I gave the CM text editor a try and it worked! The "ON" value stuck and flash is working great. This is in the latest Dolphin Beta that I just downloaded from the market.
[Android General] mixednuts:
Like to weigh in as well - used Script Manager to edit the XML and that worked as well... I've also been using it as my file manager ;)

If I delete the tunnybrowser after restoring a backup I lose all my settings, anyone else notice this?

I still wish I knew what these other text editors do to the file that causes Dolphin to not recognize the file. It's a low priority but I'm almost willing to do a diff to find out.

does anyone know how to import bookmarks from firefox , i used to export them to a html file then import them in boat so they were all there then export them from boat and then use bookmarks to sd to import them to dolphin but bookmarks to sd doesnt work anymore :( so any ideas anyone?
[Android General] skiddingus:
Sweet. I just tried this and it worked for me also. Make sure you have Flash player for Jellybean installed. Download the latest Dolphin browser from the market. Run it one time. Delete the .xml file: data/data/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser/shared_prefs/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml.

Restart Dolphin. Profit!

Flash is set to "always on" Hopefully the setting sticks.
