flash player working on 4.4 kitkat (instructions) - Nexus 4 General

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548001
confirmed working on my nexus 4, 4.4 stock kitkat.
all you need to do is download the modified flash player installer from XDA, and use your favourite browser (i'm using dolphin and dolphin jetpack).
credit goes to user surviveland on XDA.
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ to test and see the version.
dolphin's faq was also updated with this info today https://dolphinbrowser.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/1365883

Working here with stock 4.4 and Dolphin, not working on Firefox.

Does it need jet pack to be installed?

Don't like the Dolphin browser
Doesn't work in Firefox or Firefox Beta

That's like the best news since the kit Kat release!

Just use MX Player to play your flash files. Dolphin is just for embedded flash. Don't follow....

Thanks for posting this works perfectly. Only thing is I can't get hulu to work in desktop mode, but it didn't work right with 4.3 either for me.

i tried that before, but it seems it can't open my swf files, on 4.3 i open those files by accessing the local files on firefox, and it's working. i don't know why any swf players (mx player, etc) can't open my files...
sorry for my bad english

That is an issue with your MX player install then. It worked just fine for me. Have you tried just firing up MX player and opening the file? If you dont see the file then go to settings, list, video folders. Also consider just a swf player app.

Well, nevermind that. i've found a workaround to play local swf on dolphin, thanks for your advice anyway...
and sorry for bothering you..

I've done this with the new dolphin, with jet pack built in but cannot stand dolphin as a browser . Using AOSP now

Does it work on 4.4.2?

I'm on 4.4.2 and yes. "works" in that it is a little buggy but that's not due to really to this hack, Flash on Android has been dodgy for a long time, sites crash etc, but its not 4.4.2 fault but that the version of flash is many versions behind, the most recent available on Android is 11.1.115.87 whilst the most recent 11.9.900.170.
Hulu isn't working as it checks the platform and decides to reject. I use BBC for HD and its very dodgy reliability, works best on my N10 and won't work on my N7 2012.

Not only dolphin browser but also Boat and default Android 4.0 browser supports. If you use Dolphin then you will have to download Dolphin Jetpack app as well from the Play Store.

We have been working on "tv shows stream" android aplication and we whoul'd really like to know if it is working properly under Motorola Xoom using android 3.0 stock .
This device is not being sold yet at Europe...and we can not wait to know if the aplication will work fine
You can find the full thread of our aplication here :

what does you app do? is it just a streaming site client?

Not exactly.
I dont want to advertise the aplication here and thast why i didnt say a description, but basically the aplication searchs over internet for tv-shows links capables to be played directly on your device, with full screen support using megavideo, frogmovz, karambavidz and other hosting services. The search results are shown in a intuitive and easy to use interface.
You can find a detailed description in the xda thread of the aplication:

You are right, my mistake, i thught it was already availeable. So I will have to wait a bit more, thanks for the information.
Maybe I should close the thread and re-open it after flash has been released.
The app is now starting up, looks, and runs great. I've been waiting for this! Android 2.2~ version on my Droid X is amazing. Just waiting for Flash...

Just tried it out on both my Xoom and Captivate.
I am pretty sure things are working on the Captivate as they should, so used that as a guide. Hehe Test videos played through each host, low Res, but no issues.
OK.. on the Xoom the UI seems fine and works. Problems come up when playing the videos. When playing a Megavideo link the MV interface comes up with no player controls, nothing else happens. When trying Frogmovz or Karambavids.. I get a black screen with no video controls. Touching the center of the screen has triggered play/pause, but I just seem to get audio and no video is shown.
I tried out playing Megavideos through their website and that worked fine for me.

Hi,
The same problems have been reported by using unoficial flash version on htc evo. The solution was uninstall flash and reinstall from market.
Are you using the leaked version of flash 10.2 right?
It should be availeable on 18th on android market for all devices and it should fix the sound with no video issue.
Thanks for the infor, it wil really help us.
I have same issue with Xoom also. Works great and love the app on my fascinate.

Hello,
I have a paid for version of TV Shows Stream, it works on my Nexus One thanks very much for that. I admit that I probably never use it, but I like it and it works most of the time.
I have a Xoom, with v3.0.1 and the leaked Flask 10.2 APK. At this time, flash content via the stock browser seems to work fine but TV Shows Stream does not seem to work properly. All browsers come up with a blank window more or less, I tried a few megavideo and karambozworths.
Yes, it works great on the Nexus One but on the Xoom with the leaked 10.3 flash you can hear the sound but no video. Hope you get it working because it would be great to watch it on a larger screen!
I probably wouldn't be too concerned for now as the leaked version is having issues in other browsers as well. I'm not sure if that'd be because they don't see the leaked version or what... but as with the others, the app works fantastically on my Droid X but has no Video or Audio for the Xoom running the leaked Flash 10.2
Ill update again when its officially released March 18th and reinstalled.
TV Shows Stream full is my fav app and I use it daily on my Droid X with no issues. Cannot wait for xoom compatibility which as previously mentioned should be resolved when the official flash file is available on market March 18 if I read correctly. I will def uninstall the leaked file and load the official 10.2 release and report back on its usuability on my xoom. Great app btw dev. -

I have the Flash leak for my Xoom and I concur the app opens and you can see the list of shows but just cannot play the video (or see the video controls), just a blank screen.
However, I emailed myself a link for a show (from within your app) and then opened the link in the email with my broswer. The video played fine with no problems. Thus I assume when the official Flash 10.2 is released this week we will be able to load the video from right within the app - as I do on my Droid X.
BTW -great app - best money spent on an app. Keep up the awsome work
tv shows
I use the TV shows application all the time on my xoom. Right now u just have to email yourself the link for the video you want to play. I copy and paste the link in dolphin hd browser. Just make sure dolphin hd is in desktop mode. I doing this I can stream video fine, thanks for the great app also I have the leaked version of flash installed.

Hi
Is a usefull workaround but we have the intention to offer a better solutions.
We are almost sure that with the official release of flash player will work as it works most of devices, but we are already working in alternative solutions.
We have already a working solution in some video servers, karambavidz and Loombo (loombo will be added in next update) will have an option for watching the videos using any of the player you have installed on the phone, even native android player. FastForward and RW completelly working and very smooth playback, as not flash player will be used on those videos. More info soon, we are hard working right now on it.
Hi
Can someone uninstall the leaked version of flash and install the official 10.2 from market to chec if the problems still persist? Thanks in advanced.
Yes Haze, I've got the paid version and the behavior is the same. On the Xoom, the leaked version was 10.2.155.67 and todays version is 10.2.166.12 so I suspect very minor changes.

In the next update, Karambavidz video links will be able to be watched in the native android player or any other player , without the need of flash player.
You can also email yourself the link and open it with the dolphin HD broser as a temporary workaround, it has been reported to work fine.
We are working on it , thanks for the testing time.

[Q] Is there any browser or way to allow flash to play when it is in the background?

As a person who uses a browser to stream stuff as they browse it annoys the everliving hell out of me that no browser allows me to play flash when I'm not looking at it. Are there browsers that do allow flash to be played in the background? Or is it because I'm not using the android version of flash? (I'm using a custom version to allow hulu to play.) Is it CM7's fault?
If you can play flash in the background please tell me what browser you use, what kind of flash (market official or custom) and if you use cm7. I'm loving it over vegantab but ill go back if I have to...

If you spend $800 on a moto xoom you will still have this problem. Go out and buy an ipad and you will still have this problem.
What you need is a multi-tasking rom. I think I've seen a video of that once. Can't remember what device.

While it may not be exactly what you want, you could use Pandora. I created a "Final Fantasy" channel and it played similar music as that site...and in the background, too.

Just download a second browser. Use one for browsing and the other for streaming.
Opera keeps flash playing when you are on other TABS in the browser at least. That is as good as it gets on android. Wait for windows 8...
I need the same except Uc,Brave,Firefox,X browsers.

Dolphin Browser and Flash (Solved. See post #8)

Hello,
Has anyone been successful in getting flash player to work with Dolphin Browser. I have flash enabled always and it still doesn't work. I have both installed on my Asus Infinity Tablet at the same versions and it works fine on there. The Infinity is at 4.2.1
I stopped using Dolphin when they stopped supporting flash
Sent from my HTC ONE using xda app-developers app
I hear boat browser still supports flash
Maxthon Has much improved and when jelly bean was released flash was dismissed in favor of HTML5 from what I've read regarding this issue.
Dolphin is one my favorite browsers ATM but it is choppy for me on my HTC ONE . Right now I would recommend Maxthon for flash and chrome for speed.
My preferred Windows browser is Firefox but not on my HTC ONE.
Hope that helps.

Puffin supports flash (video at least. Not sure about games). Not free though.
Anyone know how to get dolphin to open youtube/maps apps instead of in browser ?

I am not using this modded Dolphin but just ran across this post which reminded me of your post.
Modded the Dolphin Browser to ALLOW flash support!
EDIT; OH I SEE,the newly released dolphin 10.0 supports flash again.
Finally found out how to get Flash player working in Dolphin Browser on the Htc One.
1. Flash has to be installed. (You can get the latest version doing a search on Google)
2. Open Dolphin. Go to settings. Go to Web Content. Turn Flash player Always on.
3. Then go to the phone settings. Go to apps. Go to Dolphin Browser. Click force stop. Then check Force GPU rendering.
It works great.

[Q] 4.3 - No longer plays video files

Hi guys,
I updated my Nexus 7 to 4.3 today and I'm now no longer able to play my previously working video files. I've used both VLC and AVP, the file plays but I get sound only and no picture.
The thumbnails for the files are displaying correctly. These are movies in .mkv and .avi format which used to work with no problems.
Has anyone else experienced this and do you think it may be a 4.3 issue or perhaps an app compatibility problem with the new Android version?
Thanks.

It isn't just you. A number of video players are not functional with 4.3. All you can do is review them in the play store and tell them. I am sure most of the App Devs are probably aware of this, but who knows...
This also happened from 4.1.2 to 4.2, just wait a day and it will be fixed by app updates

This is true, but most were a couple of weeks to be re-coded, including MX Player. What is funny is that right after I installed 4.3, MX player and a couple of others worked for a few hours then I got the Unsupported Android Version. I thought that was rather odd...
Cheers guys, I figured as much. Just wanted to make sure nothing got botched along the way!
Thanks for the replies.

Vplayer now supports 4.3
Videos in some games are tiny for me too, meh.
The stock video player still works of course, even for mkv files. Except no subtitles and it can't play hi10p.
Just found out I now prefer Vplayer to MX Player.
Ive always looked no further than MX cause I thought it was the best, now that Vplayer has had an update for 4.3 I tried it and like it very much. Very similar to MX but much more appealing.
