Help Getting Flash to work

Hi,I'm new here and newish to android, after having an iPad 2 with lack of lash unless our bought an app, you got a laggy slow flash enabled device. I wanted a tab with flash, and thought android was unlike controlling apple, who won't allow flash so you purchase items through appstore. Seems like android/Google p,at might be wanting the same thing. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that adobe won't be catering for few above 4. Sorry for rant, but the flash on this is worse than the iPad.

Keeping flash off of iCrap was Apple's decision.

Taking flash off of android devices above 4.0 was not Google's decision

Flash is owned by Adobe, and Adobe made the decision to stop making flash for mobile devices. Google had nothing to do with the decision.

Flash still works - flawlessly - on the Nexus 7, and this thread details how to get it running. One of the browsers that still supports flash will even hold your hand through the entire process and give you a lollipop when you're done.

The only thing "worse than the iPad" about the Nexus 7 is the build quality of the initial run, which has already been pretty well hammered down and smoothed out.

:smh:

If your n7 is so terrible, I'll gladly buy it off of you for a hundred bucks to help you recoup the cost and get you a step closer to buying another iPad...

No need that. Was dissapointed , yes, but I'm coming to terms with the fact adobe is ditching android then. And sorry it doesn't work flawlessly, or I wouldn't have a problem in the first place.

Works perfectly for me, man.. Although, there's a new update for Flash Player on Adobe's site, and it works even better than the one I posted, here.

Worth mentioning, too, that Adobe isn't just ditching Android, they've effectively ditched all mobile platforms.

Thats ashame , I know a lot of people arnt too bothered about flash, but there is just some websites that require it.

I purchased the xscope browser a nd that seems OK,

I know I've got a lot to learn with android device, and its a breath of fresh air compared to iPad and believe it or not I do lurve this nexus :)
 
I'm using FF and don't seem to have a pixellation problem (other than the flash setting page), any web page samples? Any movie or TV show I find looks good. I like the syncing with my home and office PC that both use FF.

edit: Tried a good flash page (wechoosethemoon.org) on Firefox and Xscope... Firefox is definitely low res! Really don't like the zooming on Xscope though... sure hope FF fixes the resolution.

The weird thing is, in Firefox, all flash content is pixellated/blurry, (even the flash player settings menu) but it's perfectly clear on Boat browser and Dolphin.

I just installed FireFox from the Play store and sideloaded Flash Player 11 and that seems to be working ok for me, not absolutely perfect, but its ok
 
Flash works great on the N7's big brother TF300, that also has the Jelly Bean OS. The only two browsers that do not work with Flash that I have noticed are the stock browser and Chrome.
 
I installed Dolphin, set it up not to update and it went ahead and updated itself anyway!
Is there a sure-fire way to keep this from happening?

Now I'm using the stock Android Browser I installed watching Rev. Kyle's videos.
 
Got flash installed with Firefox, worked great for a while, but now increasing numbers of websites are detecting the N7 and displaying screens such as "this content is not available on your device"...... I'd much rather try than be blocked, but I guess they're pandering to the idiots who are now getting N7's with phone contract deals.
 
Only browser that has reliably played flash content for me, is x-scope ($3?).
I tried a few that said they were flash compatible, but nothing else worked.

I sideloaded the flask apk, installed it and then loaded up amazon video and it worked fine.
 
Love X scope, been using it for years on my N1. Not sure if it's worth buying again for N7 tho. For now I'm using puffin, for those few sites that require flash it seems to work fine without even having flash sideloaded.
 
I'm getting an error that I can't open the flash apk after downloading. I have enabled installing foreign sources. Any suggestions?
