Hey guys, I have seen a number of posts about flash not working in the ICS leak .230
I myself had this issue and not being able to find a solution on the net, decided to experiment. I booted into recovery mode, cleared the cache and rebooted.
Viola! flash is now working for me, dont know if its a permanent fix, but it works for now.:laugh:
anyone else had this work for them ?
Cleared cache, but no go.
OP - Did you test in the YouTube app or in another app, or in the actual browser webpage? If so, let me know what page. If you tested in the YT app, or another app, then you are being delivered mp4 content directly, not flash video.
Not working no flash
Cleaned the cache on the .232 still NO flash player.. NEED FIX PLZ!!!!!!!
Well it works on 6.7.232 for me.
I don't think I ever had an issue.
It worked for me on 2233 but hasn't worked on 230 or 232.
I have wiped cache before and after redownloading flash and tried the stock browser, easy browser, dolphin, and firefox and no luck.
I did Sam's lossless downgrade/upgrade.

Has it occurred to anybody that it is the browser's fault, not flash?
mines working....in the built-in browser...youtube app, etc. I'm on 230
Mine is working now. Just install this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.flashplayer
Open that link on your phone. Select "Play Store" if prompted, then Install. You'll have to refresh any open browser pages to view video but it will work from then on.

There's your problem. If you are not wiping EVERYTHING (traditional FXZ to 902, upgrade to 905, then upgrade to 232), including deletion of personal data, then all bets are off. You have to do clean system install/upgrades.

sorry i didnt mention enough detail in OP; yes-I tested this in the stock browser on YT site, and a few other flash enabled sites, i.e. IGN and such. Then I exited out of the browser, launched YT app and verified playback there.
Be sure you are running the latest Flash version from the market, but I have had no problems since booting into recovery, wiping cache, and rebooting.
Any other details needed/questions?
:highfive:
I just had a flash update and in the notes it say no support of 4.x.x, btw still no flash.

So it only works for one site and that is pornhub.com..must try boat browser from the play store... And that's the only one that's been able to play flash videos for me.... Every other browsers just freeze and have to force close them... Try the browser and let me know if it works for you.... Don't forget to change the UI settings to desktop.... Makes things work better if the site your going too has mobile and desktop version..hope it helps..

I want to use dolphin browser HD on my heroc running cm6 stable but it force closes on a lot of websites. I cleared cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, fix permissions in rom manager, and wipe and reflashed cm6 in recovery. The only browser that works is opera mini, with no flash support, which makes it useless. If there is anything else I haven't tried, please please tell me!!!!

You installed flash? That's why it doesn't work. Flash does not work on our phones without sense.

The browser works without adobe flash! I wanted to watch hulu though...

The only easy to view flash content on our phones is to use skyfire or a 2.1 sense rom. Hulu still blocks it out though.

Basically there is a problem with gif images in 2.2.1 browser. Gif images dont play at all, unlike the browsers from 2.2 or even 2.1.
We had a thread about it before, but it died. We thought of a partial fix but it wasn't completely fixed because you would have to clear your level 2 memory every once in awhile for them to play again.

Well currently I don't really have time to flash to stock and restore, but I will try the libwebcore.so and other browser related files to see if it works.

Nope no luck :/ just like before it will work for awhile, then all the gif will freeze and only way of making it work again is clearing memory.

It should work if you install via Root Explorer (package installer) and reboot.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA Premium App
I installed it like any other app on cm7 rc11. Now works almost fine. I didnt use root explorer or anything else at all. Maybe the package has problems. Download it from android central stie or androidandme site and try again.
That was easy.
Downloaded from the multiupload direct link, installer ran it automatically, then it installed quick like a bunny.
Surprised that the app is pretty snappy now after a sluggish first impression.

I just installed it on my Motorola Droid 1. It works great! better than the old app market. This new is look SWEET!!!! This new app is awesome!!!
Have also installed it now, on top of iceandfire/CM7. Installed it normally (no Rootexplorer) and the market is working flawlessly.
Seems like this version of Android Market downloads to /cache instead of /sdcard/downloads (as in the CM version). Since I have dalvik-cache on /cache, downloads/updates for large apps fail :/
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
I don't understand something about this new market. How the heck am I supposed to update an app when there is only one app that has an update? I click the app and it says open, then I go back and it shows an update still. It doesn't show an 'update all' button like when there are multiple apps that have updates.
EDIT: The app, it insists on staying in the update available list even when it is already updated. The only way to resolve this was to reboot. This new market has some bugs that need fixed, as with any first release. The honeycomb market had quite a few issues as well when it first came out, but they have since then been resolved.
Isn't the new market slower than the current one for you guys?
i like the new markwt because of its design
Is anyone having problems updating to the new Play Store 3.4.7 on Eclipse 2.2
Currently I have Eclipse 2.2 flashed on my safe system using safestrap. I can toggle over to my stock ROM on unsafe system and the update works just fine. I cant even purchase apps on the old market version with the Eclipse ROM.
I tried to use TiBu to back up the Play Store on the stock ROM and then restore it on the Eclipse Rom, but it doesn't work.
Also, I tried to clear data on the Market and force the update through Play Music. No Go.
Anyone have a fix or suggestion for this?
Update with answer! Well I figured it out. I added one more step to the post above. After backing up the play store on my unsafe system, I uninstalled the market on my safe system using TiBu and then restored the play store. All is well and I can even purchase apps.
Thanks,
I have market issues as well. Cannot download anything, no connection error.

I just did the following:
Factory wipe, dalvic wipe, cache wipe and flash eclipse 2.2 It didn't work. Should I have followed a different procedure?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA
i'm having same problem as well..unsafe stock all is good..but onsafe eclipse 2.2 i get error when trying to buy an app..i wiped data dalvik cache and cache and reflashing but doesn't work.. won't update to google play..kinda frustrating..i hope somebody may have some insight into this..
Workaround Market issue
This will get Market to work for a few days, but not a permanent fix.
Settings » applications » manage applications » market » all » 'Force Stop' then 'Clear data' & 'Clear cache' buttons.
REBOOT.
Open Market and do your updates and installs as normal.
If anyone comes up with a fix, please share. If not a shortcut directly to Force Stop and Clear would be nice.
I update to google play but icon never changes to google play icon..I can download free apps just not purchase apps..I get an error every time..I just used the google play site to get the app I wanted then sent to my phone..wish google play app would work tho..
I honestly don't know how I got it. I was running an ics rom before the eclipse rom. I don't know if that would do anything. Probably not. I also installed the titanium theme for eclipse 2.2. Perhaps that will help

I just got a text message from Verizon telling me that the market is being updated to play store.

After updating my Note (India) to ICS 4.04 I noticed that flash no longer works in the stock browser. It is not even available in the PlayShop anymore.
I tried installing other browers too but non of them show the option to enable flash plug-in in their settings. (Have attached a screenshot of the settings page for your reference).
So how do we view flash based websites and flash video on ICS 4.04?
Any help with this issue would be most appreciated.

Flash works on my ICS 4.0.4 (stock) and is available in the play store. It won't be supported from jelly bean onwards.

Flash works just fine on Jelly Bean. You'll have to sideload it (have an APK and install it manually). Works just fine on my Note (running CM10).

Why does flash not work on Galaxy Note?? I am using Note myself and its on Android 4.0.4, and flash works fine. See the screen shots.
But i do remember one thing while i was updating my Note from gingerbread to ICS. I got my Note updated to ICS but could not find SNote app in it, later I have factory reset my phone and then rebooted it. Then rather than booting automatically, it again went to Update mode and started instaling something. When my phone was ready with ICS, i got the SNote app. Try factory resetting and rebooting ur phone after backing up all the imp data, like pics, music, vids, contacts, apps(apk files) etc etc. Hope this works.

YouTube may be just switching to HTML5 to play videos by the way. You should check via the adobe flash website.

Did you get it to work after a reset? I am curious to find out as there is not much discussion out there with people confirming flash to work fine on ICS. (I am wondering if the performance is similiar or actually worse? Is hardware acceleration working on the Note with ICS for flash?) Many people seem to have problem with flash content after upgrading to ICS...
I m on 4.0.4, and flash is working well.
I google for the apk and install it on my device.
Works well... U only can't find it on google play.

that's right.. you can't find flashplayer anymore in google play.. BUT.. with a bit of resourcefulness, you can do a simple search of android flashplayer.apk in google search and you can find some good results from there...
