Slow Play Store On Stock ROM - Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera

Device: Symphony Roar A50 (First Gen/Sprout 8)
ROM : Stock 6.0.1
Problem : In our country, Bangladesh, ISPs have dedicated Google Cache Servers to provide faster Google service. We get regular speed for other sites and Local LAN speed for Google services like Playstore, Youtube ( from web browser, not app), and Drive. For my internet package, regular speed is 5 mbps and Google speed is 32 mbps. I get full 32 mbps for Playstore on all other android devices, but not on this device on stock ROM, only 5 mbps, the regular speed. But works fine on All Custom ROMS, full 32 mbps for Play store. I watch Youtube desktop version from Chrome and get 32 mbps. I installed "Videoder" app and it also gets 32 mbps when downloading videos from youtube, on Stock/Custom both. It seems like only Playstore is the culprit. I tried with flashing Open Gapps through TWRP but didn't solve the problem. I tried Nexus devices, they also get full 32mbps on playstore. Did Google f**k something up in this OFFICIAL Android One ROM? Anyone have any clue which system app dictates this behaviour?

Adobe Flash 11 will not sideload on new TF701

I purchased my TF701 last Friday and missed the boat on getting Adobe Flash installed before the August 15 Google Play cut off for Android 4.0.3 devices.
I tried following the Flash install instructions they have for JellyBean.
I've downloaded the apk files from adobe.
I tried version 11 and version 10.3.
After I install the file, it appears to have loaded, but despite trying every browser (including boat, dolphin, firefox), all I get is the blue lego with a question mark where video should be.
My device was purchased in Canada. Google Play says Adobe Flash 11 is not available in my country.
I usually open my browser after factory reset and they ask me if I want to install Adobe Flash Player. I say Yes and they take me to the Play Store to install the flash player.

Did you make sure you have the plug-ins set to On Demand, Never, or Always in the browser.
I always set mine to On Demand and it appears just like you stated above, until I click it, then it will play (hence, On Demand)
Try that...
Download Market Enabler from the Play Store.
I will try on demand tonight when I get home. I did try "never" and "Always" for plugins last night.
For those who are looking for Market Enabler, I found it at:
code.google.com/p/market-enabler
Through a combination of Rooting my device, markat enabler and/or choosing "on-demand" I got flash to work. Thanks to all for the assistance.

What's a tf701? I want one!
Joking aside, try chrome or opera. Those two give me the best flash anyway.

As far as I know the default Browser is a version of Chrome and this version allows the side-load of Flash. Chrome Browser on its own, as an app, has a Flash support built in, I think! On this I could be wrong as I don't use it because the Android version doesn't allow extensions and the only reason I would use it is if I could run Adblock. :crying:
Chrome on Android does not support flash. I go to few sites that require it for viewing video and wants an updated version.
I was able to side load Flash Player, from TB. I did get my TB file from a TF700T. I confirmed it installed and was working in Dolphin for Pad.
I have no idea it made a difference or not, but I rooted my 700 first thing. It's still locked and running stock (like there's is much choice for alternative daily drivers).

Chrome for android does not support flash. Google has openly stated it will never support flash in preference for newer and better things to come. Flash is being phased out. Deal with it.
Try Dolphin or Boat browser on Android, those are the two highest rated ones, most people on these forums say either one is excellent depending on your needs.

No need to be so snippy. Flash may be phased out some time in the future, but it's not phased out right now. And some of us depend on Flash to view live newscasts such as streaming CNN, streaming a weather channel, etc.
I switched to Android several years ago specifically due to Flash support. And I will keep my Android phone and tablet on a version of Android that supports Flash so long as Flash is still being used on the sites that I visit.
On a side note, thanks to Splashtop, I can watch Flash streams and videos from my PC, even after Android stops supporting Flash.
It is confirmed that Flash is supported and working in Jellybean, so there's still some time yet.

Yep, I use Boat for Flash without being rooted.
Chrome on Android has NO Flash support, at all. No plugin support of any kind, in fact.
The problem is that most sites are never going to get rid of Flash. A lot of webdevelopers are lazy, they don't want to learn HTML5. Thus, we'll need Flash for at least another decade, maybe two.
Did you bother following this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336
I love my android devices, but the lack of flash kills web browsing - and thats 50% of what many people use these tablets for.
If the new Windows RT and Windows 8 tablets have full flash support its not going to help Android or iDevice sales.
I'm getting really tired of having empty blank boxes on news sites where a video is supposed to be - even with the current adobe flash side-loaded there's still stuff that doesn't work on Android, because there is zero effort now to support it.
If the new Windows tablets provide fast web browsing with full Flash support that resembles a PC browser I will consider them.
I suppose everyone will argue that there will be zero app support. But for many people a tablet has to do only 4 things:
1. Browse the Web
2. Play audio and video files
3. Allow you to view and work with documents
4. Play games
If windows RT/8 solves the first 3 I can overlook the 4th. If it can do all 4 its a home run.

Struggled with a friend's transformer. Finally updated to Asus Jellybean. Googled helpx.adobe.com android versions. Sideloaded the latest version, and it works like a charm.
This is kinda strange.
Even the framework may be different, Flash works with Note 3 (4.3) and Note 8.0 (4.2.2) in combination with Dolphin.
Here is a Adobe Flash apk that will install on your TF701:

Favorite apps

Thought it would be nice to exchange recommendations on apps for the HD and HD+.
My favorites are:
- ES File Explorer (I use it mostly for file xfer between the Nook and PCs on my LAN or in the Cloud - Google Drive for me)
- Text+ (free texting to others on their cell phones or other Text+ users, they actually give you a phone number. Can do voice calls too but not free. I've only had it a short time but seems great so far)
- Ruzzle (a word game, free version is ad supported)
- Words With Friends (but I'm having to run an old version due to problems with the latest on CM 10.1, at least at CM's default of 240 PPI on the HD+)
- Titanium Backup (good for backing up restoring apps and data, needs root, so probably not as useful on Stock)
Sent from my Nook HD+ Running CM 10.1 from emmc
To name a few apps that get the most use are
Plants v Zombies
Broken Sword 2
Plasma Sky
The Bards Tale
FF III, IV
Pettsons Inventions Dlxe
Root Explorer
Andro Zip File Manager
BS Player
Nova Launcher
Here is my list:
Flipboard
Mantano reader
Diceplayer
Box
Root brower
TTpod
I forgot to mention Readability. Its a reader for articles you've marked in your browser to read later. You get a chance to read your articles with nice font and layout, and no ads.

My Favorites Android Apps
1Weather cause you need 1 good weather apps and has good widgets
AdAway speed up browsing by blocking ads (not on Playstore)
Amazon Appstore it installs to any device, unlike Google Play Store
Appy Geek stay current on news
Aviary great photo editor
CameraMX good layout, lots of features
CamScanner replaced my home scanner for email documents and saving receipts digitally
CifsManager download big files directly to you shared hard drive, useful if you don't have memory card slot (nexus 7)
HBO2Go, Netflix, A&E, History Channel, Fios Mobile- Game of Thrones, Big Bang Theory, and a 7" tablet 7" from your face is like a 50" LCD TV
ES File Explorer I use back up feature for apps that the Play store won't let me install to my tablet, but will for my phone. BT transfer and install. And search feature to find shared LAN drives, and FTP works good also. This is my favorite app of all.
FBReader- reads almost all book formats, available on almost all device (winCE, Nokia N800, Symbian, Linux, Windows)
Folder Mount Jelly Bean 4.2 won't let me move App/Games to my microSD card, so this is the work around because Dark Knight Rises is 1.81GB
GrooVe IP- free VOIP calls. Verizon minutes run out fast if you are sharing, free calls over 4G, 3G and Wifi if you have data MB left over.
Instructables- the Man version of Pinterest
LCD Density- how tight can you get your DPI, helps minimize scrolling, like having high resolution monitor.
Micro CPU Monitor- system getting laggy? watch your CPU usage
Minecraft keeps family entertained for hours
MX Player hardware acceleration for almost any video and audio type. Like VLC but for Android
NZB Leecher+- download from newsgroups on the go?
Opera and Opera Mini right now its the fastest, has sync but switch to Chrome engine, have to wait and see
QR Droid- bar codes have so much information and also for getting price match
Screencast- record you Android screen, I like to make "How to Videos"
TV Stream- links to websites that stream shows and movies, might not be legal (not on Playstore)
Wifi Analyzer: tweak router antenna for most gain
XBMC - turn almost any HDMI Android device into a media center
:good:
On my blog I have a list of 127 Free Games for Android (all have LINKS to Google Play Store to download). Found list on XDA.

Is there no currently working way to stream local files off android tablet, even if r

I just rooted my Chromecast and put 13000 firmware with flashcast. I want to stream local videos from my 2013 nexus 7 to my Chromecast. I read allcast got disabled. Is there any way on an android tablet to stream local media, like maybe downgrading to rooted 120xx firmware? Or is this a wait and see game right now with the only option a Windows pc and chrome?
Sent from New Nexus 7
i did that exact question...but still waiting for answers of DEVS...
even if you downgrade, you still won't be able to do local streaming. This is because google blocked it server side, and the chromecast at startup downloads a list of available apps. Until google allows it, it will not work no matter what firmware.

Problem with videos on WIFI

Hi everyone
B852, EMUI 3.1 / Android 5.1
I have installed Dolphin Browser (also i have tried with chrome/stock browser) and when i play 720/1080p video i have problem with buffering. I have speed from 200-300 kbps which is not enough. Dolphin Browser has built-in video player and there indicates with how much speed i download/view the video. With Youtube everything is OK with 720 or 1080p videos. Also this is with my phone only, with other who i have at home is perfect (tested with same video).
I have tested with friend internet.
And also with my 4G everything is okay and i have speed ~1000kbps..
I have already factory reset my phone and now i have flashed full B852 (before i have installed via OTA from B839).
