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...
Try dolphin browser

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.
Hello!
Anyone have a solution for browser to see sites that use google maps? Like strava, i cant see my routes on browser... On ics it works.

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

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.
Any other people and having this problem? I figured that the espn.com website would be using html5. I have also read about it, however, when I go to the site, it tells me to install flash, which I can't do in Chrome. Even when I try playing a video on the mobile site, I get a message saying the video can't be played.
I have tried this with dolphin, boat. (with flash), Chrome, and stock browser. Nada bueno.
Works perfectly on all ios devices, iphones, iPad. Little android issues hurt my soul, and I don't want to go back to iPhone, but I pay for espn insider, and if I can't get this to work...
Sad.
Would loading their dedicated app solve this problem?

What happens when you try it with Dophin (with flash). What does it say?
Also in the settings for the browser make sure you request the desktop version of the website. I just got my Note 3 and haven't tried yet. But on My note 2 I was able to watch espn.go using the preinstalled browser (with flash) by requesting the desktop version of the website.
The espn app blows. The videos won't play on it either, but I attribute that to shoddy programming.
In Dolphin, I see the video image, but no play shows up. It's basically a static image that can't be clicked.
I have reinstalled every browser, and I also reinstalled flash several times. I still have my iPad, so I not up a creek completely.
Also, a friend of mine has the same results on his Note 3.
Annoying as hell.

Try Firefox. I just found out that the stock browser in Android 4.3 does not support flash. I was able to watch espngo with firefox.

crud... says not authorized to play on device when viwing desktop site even with UAV set to desktop
Solution (Must Be Rooted)
2 Solutions.
Flash Solution:
1.) Download Dolphin or UC, or Boat browser and set it to Desktop UA. (you will obviously need flash player as well)
2.) Download the libflashplayer.so.zip file I have attached. Once downloaded find the file and remove the ".zip" from the file (it was the only way I could upload the file.) File Should now be "libflashplayer.so"
3.) Place this file in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib It will advise that this file already exists (using root explorer) and ask if you want to override it. select yes. This file makes the flashplayer appear to be from a windows device. (Hulu and ESPN use this check for their media)
4.) Close all browsers then open the browser back up and you should be able to access the videos at these sites.
Chrome Solution:
1.) Download Chrome or Chrome beta from the play store.
2) Download Chrome UA from the play store
3.) Open Chrome UA and set the user agent to IPad.
4) Close the the chrome brower (If it is open) and open it back up. You should be able to watch all the videos on ESPN.com using HTML5.
Enjoy

Chrome is great especially because it can sync your bookmarks to all your devices and even your PC. That's its biggest advantage with quick fixes and security !
My other favorites are
Opera Classic
Dolphin Browser
Opera Browser
The Stock Browser is now Chrome but before it was another one which I never liked! Try Dolphin and Opera Classic and you will surely like them!
I've always deleted/disabled chrome and almost all google bundled bloatware on any phone/tablet in our house. I had a tough time shoehorning stock/aosp browser to replace chrome, till I stumbled onto lightning browser. Fast, lightweight, able to change search engine to DDG, able to change device string to whatever you want (Froyo N1) (just like AOSP), and works as a user app. I prefer downloading from their dedicated thread on XDA, or from the F-Droid store.
Dead Cookies leave no trails...
Thank you all. I have installed stock aosp trough recovery and now its great
Very nice alternative...
Duck duck go
Quick and doesn't store personal data. Works well with orbot too.
Xperia Z
I use baidu browser, it works great for me since it has quick launcher floating over the homescreen with website to be customised
