Adobe Flash on Dolphin is Back!

Great news! The change log for Dolphin v11.3.4 is as follows:

[Add] Flash support and enhanced browsing experience on Android 5.0!

I just tried it out and am happy to report that this works on my Google Nexus with Android 5.0 and the unmodified Adobe Flash Player installed. :victory:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derride8:
Can you please provide a copy of that Flash Player you are using?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabbyWC:
Of course. The last version of Flash Player for Android 4.0+ is available for download directly from Adobe at http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk.

From where you have dolphin version 11.3.4? Latest is 11.3
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabbyWC:
I received the update through Google Play this morning. I also remember signing up for the Dolphin beta test program through their Google+ page a while ago so that may have something to do with getting updates sooner. If you're looking to download and install Dolphin v11.3.4 manually, I've attached a zipped copy of the APK to this post.

I have the same message. Google removed it. Does anyone have the modified apk
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabbyWC:
You don't need to have a modified Flash Player installed anymore. Just install the latest version of Firefox (v34 or higher) or Dolphin (v11.3.4 or higher) and the unmodified Flash Player APK which is available directly from Adobe.

Flash Player 11.1 for Android 4.0+ (11.1.115.81) - http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk

And this one you linked above will work for KitKat?

I still haven't received the v5 update for my Nexus 7.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabbyWC:
Yes, of course. This unmodified Flash Player APK works in Android 4.x and 5.x if you use a current mobile web browser.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digideth:
just making sure since I have a modded version installed now that works with Firefox that I didn't want to lose if the official one doesn't work.

thanks for the help!

Which version is the "latest dolphin" that you have? If you don't have v11.3.4 installed (which hasn't rolled out to everyone yet) then look a couple of pages back and install it manually because I uploaded the APK as an attachment.

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

Yes , uninstall mod flash player before installing official flash player
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabbyWC:
That's strange. I tried out Dolphin v11.3.4 and the unmodified Flash Player on a Moto G with Android 4.4.4 installed and I can report that Flash is working just fine on that device. There's also a slightly newer build (403) of Dolphin v11.3.4 that came out earlier today which I've attached to this post if anyone else wants to try it out.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabbyWC:
These are the most important points to consider if you're trying to play Flash video on Android 4.x or 5.x and not having any success...

* Make sure you have the latest version of Firefox (v34.0) or Dolphin (v11.3.4) installed along with the original, unmodified Flash Player APK which is downloadable from Adobe's web site at http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk

* If you're using Dolphin, set your browser's user agent to "desktop" and set the Flash Player setting to "always on" for better compatibility.

* Try different web sites that use Flash to determine if it's a problem on your end or not. Some web sites may only work with newer Flash Player versions for security reasons. Android 4.0+ only received updates up to Flash Player v11.1.115.81 before Adobe discontinued support.

* If surviveland or anybody with technical coding skills is interested in releasing a version of Flash Player for Android that spoofs the software's version number up to v16.x, it could be a worthwhile effort because that may lead to increased compatibility (if I'm not mistaken).

Flash apk 11.1 suddenly not working re: live video streams

I don't know how to move my original post to this thread so deleting it [if I still can per the forum options] & posting it here - since I realized it's probably a more appropriate placement:

Happy Holidays All:

I have no idea what happened. Until this evening I was able to watch live news streams in Firefox. Thanks to the Flash 11.1 apk hack I learned about here @ XDA earlier this year. All I had to do was tap the flash icon in the video field to get it to work. But now that field is just a blank on every live streaming news site I go to. I made no recent changes to the phone, no updates, nothing new. I tried the Flash Fox browser & it worked for about an hour, then it froze. When I reloaded the page, same as with regular Firefox: now just a blank video field. . . I was never able to get live streaming to work with the Dolphin browser (including with the Dolphin Jetpack). I've searched here and online in general but have not found any solutions, so far. Does anyone have any ideas about what's going on? Or better, a fix for this? I can still view tv shows & movies so I guess they are not running on Flash - but it seems every news stream I regularly watch still does use Flash. I cleared the Firefox cache after this happened + junk files, that's all I did.

I'm still using my Moto G Android phone - KitKat 4.4.4

added:

I don't find a way to update to KitKat 5.0 and my Dolphin browser is only able to be updated to v11.3.0. I saw where you posted about the zipped update option mentioned above and 'surviveland' posted awhile ago:

". . .Dolphin just push a 10.2.0 update version to me and I found Dolphin Jetpack was built-in. This means you don't have to install 2 separate APK now. . ."

I have the Jetpack but what is this about 2 apk's? Is the Jetpack considered an apk? or is there another one meant to be used with the hacked flash apk [though I see posts now saying we don't need the hacked one anymore since the official macromedia site has recently added one we can use instead]?...but if I am missing another apk maybe that is why I have never been able to get Dolphin to play live flash streams?. . .also: should I go for Dolphin v11.3.4 or stay with v11.3.0, considering possible compatibility issues with the other software on my phone?

Anyway, I've scoured the internet but so far, no answers found. Finally, I uninstalled the hacked flash player and am hoping to get advice about which one is best for all the versions of everything I that I mentioned and hoping a new install of some kind for flash will be the solution.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenyz:
It seems like Flash stopped working with the latest update of Firefox Beta (35.0), but the good news is the Dolphin update got pushed to the Play Store.

So, for Flash support, use latest Dolphin browser (11.3.4) and official Flash from Adobe.

I'm on a htc one m7 , 4.4.3, Verizon, and no matter what I would try, every time I tried installing ANY flash player, modded or regular, it kept saying app not installed. Well a few months ago, I found the solution. Just deleted the com.Adobe.flashplayer lib file outta data/lib ,and Boom, it installed fine, and has been working flawlessly since then. Regular stock unmodded flas. Hopefully this helps somebody .
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartphone_elf:
Thank you! :good: I downloaded the new official Flash and it worked! With Dolphin v11.3.0 first [most recent one available to me unless I use GabbyWC's zip file] and then also with Firefox v34.0 as well [I don't have the beta 35.0 option showing]. . .oddly, it doesn't work for me in FlashFox - but that's ok, since I have the other 2 options. . .& I hope they remain viable with the next browser updates...fingers crossed. :fingers-crossed:

None worked. Like I said....ALL other devices on my network, including PCs, have no problem getting there. It's just Dolphin. I think it may be some issue with how long it takes to actually access the site as it is kinda slow. I reported this to them and got a reply, don't recall what they said, but they did ask me to try something that didn't work and I haven't heard a thing since then and that was a couple weeks ago.

So IF you use Dolphin and IF you can't get to bsplayer.com please use Dolphin Settings - Send Feedback - Other critical issues, to report this possible bug...

I can't get Boat Browser to work with Flash Player. I used Boat Browser on JB with the ICS apk file for Flash Player.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laughter On Water:
Flash is not being developed for Android, so any version you might try will be outdated and could become a seriously easy gateway for someone to hack your device. Why make your device easy for hackers to get in? You really don't want to do this.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purple lady:
A lot of websites use flash and I have all my browsers with a desktop UA. Without flash there could be a lot of sites that don't work. I consider most mobile sites to be sites that don't work as well.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laughter On Water:
You're absolutely right. There are a lot of websites that use flash that don't work on Android. You'll probably find that most sites that still use flash have not been redeveloped in a long time, either because they don't have the funding or they don't realize how large the mobile sector has become. There are a lot of good reasons for phasing out Flash. It's proprietary. It often drains battery life. It's cumbersome to write. Flash is being phased out almost all over the web. HTML5/CSS3/Javascript has begun to replace that proprietary interface very well.

If at all possible, try to find an app that suits your needs instead. For instance, NOAA has a great flash radar map on their website that doesn't work on Android, but they have a weather app that has the same radar map plus all the other information you could want about weather forecasts.

The Dolphin is actually showing in "desktop" mode as a weird combo of Apple desktop, in another app it was trying to direct me to an Apple plugin.

It has to force itself into a common popular desktop fake browser like Chrome, Firefox, IE, etc.

I've gone to whatbrowser.org and Dolphin keeps crashing but when I keep trying it says it is running Safari 5 which is a weird one.

When I use say Chrome on thismachine.info it is telling the other end practically everything!

I've pasted the string from a working (to Hulu) session into the "custom" string section of this Dolphin hack and it does confirm back to me that is what browser it thinks I'm running, but Hulu still refuses. I think therefore it is something else. I've also gone to "about flash" and its reporting the last most recent Android flash version which works in 4.3 so.... I flummocked.
