Flash working on latest dolphin from playstore - Nexus 7 General

So this may be old news...but since I had to dig thru Google to find this.....thought I'd share.
I will post link to thread I found this in at bottom.
Basically...you get a flash apk....sorry for no link.....easy to find tho. Install the flash apk.
Get latest dolphin....or try this in the one you have now. The dolphin 8.5.... floating around will enable flash thru settings easy as pie....but no pinch to zoom and will crash if you full screen a flash video.
Then do this......you need root and a file manager....I use root browser lite.
"deleting the file data/data/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser/shared_prefs/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml may allow the normal Dolphin Browser to regenerate the file setting Flash to "Always on".
This worked for me. Not sure what will happen if I update dolphin when an update comes out. Maybe it will still work....or maybe will have to delete that file again.
Here's the thread I got this from.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846225
Sorry if this is old news....but may help some people out.

It seems to work. We'll see if it's permanent.

Guess it is old news....but took me awhile to find it. So I think a new thread was appropriate.
This is in the t989 forum too. So its a known cure I imagine!

Cool, definitely works, thanks. I now have 4 browsers that are flash enabled. I love it when ppl say, "well, adobe pulled flash from jelly bean+, so this is why it doesnt work". This is XDA, we make it work

I'm using fire fox beta

Flash for Droid with Froyo

I flashed the Froyo update and it seems to work well but I cannot find the Adobe Flash 10.1 beta in the market.
Anyone know how I can load this application?
You can find a "Download Latest Flash Player" link on this page: http://onix-android.com/2010/06/onix-2-0-beta0/
What I've found with flash is it doesn't work with some apps. There's a fix for it whick actually uses nexus 1 flash app and it work beautiful on my phone. I couldn't use hulu before I installed it or some other things I had to uninstall the previous version I had and then install the nexus one which is a fixed version of flash 10.1 and work well. For hulu after fixing flash there is another version of app that is not on the market that has a couple scripts built in to make it work. Hope this helps

Which file is this one? I did some searching on the Nexus thread for flash and found a few different download links, so not sure which one specifically you were referring to as the "fix" version.
I still have the file its called "flash-fix-nexus.apk". If I can find it again ill post a link or even better I would upload it if possible. I don't have a computer so ill look into it.

Thanks! With that file name I was able to locate the post with the download link here: [Fix] Hulu working + Flash.apk June 17th
No problem, glad it worked. Its been running great since I used it and can watch some episodes with hulu now but the device heats up extremely quick and battery don't last long so becareful if you use. Mine got to 134 degrees and it wouldn't charge till it cooled down but it takes a lot of processing for flash to work.

Well had flash and hulu working with bb v0.4 but I had just switched to sapphire v0.8.4 and flash doesn't work again. Stumped! Or is it because sapphire is from different or newer build. Anyone have a suggestion without flashing back to bugless beast. Been using nexus flash fix and hulu fix but doesn't work with sapphire rom.

I tried the fix download and it didn't install

flash 10.1 not detected by browser.

Apparently other people have commented in the market as well. Reflashed. Reinstalled. Please help!
I know im not the only one having this problem. People check!
I too am having this very same problem. What makes it worse is I'm on the stock 2.2 rom straight from HTC after a repair (just got it back today, it came preloaded with 2.2). I installed flash from the market, and bam. Nothing.
Very fishy.
I just switched roms and walls. This is about to be a mojor problem. I'm running cm6rc3. Wtf is going on?!
Make sure in the browser, the 'Enable plug-in' option is not set to off.
We are not stupid buddy. This is a real problem..
Checked, no problems, watched a couple of Flash videos. Running Enomther.

If you don't believe me go to the market in the comment section under flash. There a ton of people with the same problem. The pproblem only happens when u have a full wipe and reinstall flash. No noob here. Something is wrong

I just got my magic to nexus one upgrade and I too am having problems with flash.
Downloaded and installed through market
Plugins is enabled in the browser settings.
Tried reinstalling several times
Running stock android 2.2 vodafone rom
I've flashed several roms and its the same across the board. Its either flash or the browser. This sucks! Anyone help? You can't clear cache or settings on flash.
the one from the market doesn't work.
manually downloaded the apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756531 and its working again
Possibly the apk in the Market got corrupted??
Someone should report it to Adobe/Google.
why not try an alternative browser. I doubt it'll work but its one simple troubleshooting step.
I went on there website and sent them an email I will post the reply when I get it

[ThinkTank] Full Flash on Vibrant?

Since the Samsung Vibrant browser has the ability to use plug-ins(like flash lite) would it be possible to Flash 10.1 in place of the flash lite plugin? Developers were able to do this with htc 2.1 phones(and fairly simply too), so it should be able to work on the Galaxy S devices, or any phone that accepts plugins really.
Any thoughts?

I was able to install the Flash 10.1 on my Vibrant and it works pretty good.
Haven't have any problems in loading any flash games or websites.
How were you able to do that? Is there a thread on this elsewhere, or is it something really simple? Please share lol.
+1 on the sharing how you did that. Adobe says its only available on the nx1 running 2.2.
^^^ I had the Adobe Flash APK for 2.1 since I had my HTC Evo.
You can find it here on the HTC Evo Forums or just send me a PM with your email and I'll send it to you.
I installed it on my Galaxy S since I got it.
I'm a noob here so I don't know how to post it here.
Here are a couple of pictures.
i did it as well. works great so far

Any real dev wanna give us an answer? i know for a fact that the flash apk that they provided wont work. it only works on HTC devices. A dev needs to modify the apk so it acts as a plugin and installs in the right place.

The pictures I've seen posted here, could have been working using flash lite that's already installed... I can install it and have it show up in my apps list as installed, and still display things using flash light, but if you go to m.flash.com it will tell you that it's not working. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that the people that think this is working, it's not really. They are seeing stuff using flash lite.

Thought I would share this. My apologies if it has already been posted. I came across this a few minutes ago. This is a link to download a flashable zip to install the stock jb (4.1) apps on any device running ics.
Follow the instructions on the page and take a look at the updated apps for jb!

try mounting system in recovery first, then flash it. I'm not using safestrap right now so I unzipped the file and manually copy and posted what was inside and it worked fine.

I did this with both mount/System and flash along with copy and paste. This did work for everything except for Gmail and Facelock. I completely lost the Gmail app and the facelock option when trying both ways.
I am not sure what I will try next. Going to have to noodle it a bit. Really like the magazine apk!
Yeah I had that same problem with Gmail. Didn't try the face unlock though. Magazines is pretty cool, but I'm loving the sound search widget. Better than shazam and soundhound

Did not coping the gmail apk over work for you?
No, it would show in /system/app but not in my app drawer. The other weird thing that happened is after I got the jb versions running, the ones that came stock on the bionic "updated" to their "current" versions. Had to disable auto update to keep them.

[VIDEO] How to Install Flash on the Google Nexus 7 Tablet

You're not just a Reverend, you're a God.
I'll be doing this after work for sure! Tired of getting denied by so many sites that I visit that still use Flash.
is there any reason why this is better than using Firefox beta from the GP store, and getting flash from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1214700&d=1342976097 as per another post on this board? This didnt require root, and was very simple.
Works for me anyway.
Thank you for this. I got it working on Browser but flash doesn't work on Dolphin. Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks for the video on how to install flash for rooted Nexus 7 device. My device isn't rooted yet so I side loaded the flash apk and used the beta Firefox which also works well and is easy to do.

Worked like a charm using Boat Browser. Thanks!
The play store has pulled the flash downloader, it's not there anymore.
You can still find flash and sideload it by googling "flash 11.1.111.8 apk"
Frankly even this last version of flash is buggy and doesn't live up to its desktop counterpart. And unfortunately there won't be any more updates.
(edit) Ah, they haven't pulled this version of the flash downloader yet,they have however pulled 2 others, and rather quickly too. I suspect that this one may not last too long, grab it while you can.
