How can I tell if flash is working? Tried playing a video on facebook. Did not work. I running nero v3 . Is there a site to go to try it out?
Im running nero v2 and i havent streamed any flash video. But I have gone to sites that have flash ads and it works.
Fear the beard...
This may sound incredibly lame, but try going to the market and searching for "Flash".
This should show you a few things. First you should see that Flash Player 10.1 is installed, if it is and you want to verify, download "Adobe Flash Showcase"
It's a free download that highlights sites with videos and games made for Flash 10.1 and it will only work if your phone has it installed.
After you're done and you've verified whether it's working or not you can simply delete the showcase if you don't want it.
I just purchased a brand new Prime and am having problems with flash not working. It is still completely stock, have not rooted or anything yet.
I have tried 3 different browsers (chrome, dolphin, and stock browser) and flash works in none of the three. When i go to Adobe's flash checker I do not see the video that needs to be seen, it's just a grey box. I made sure all the updates are installed through the play store. It is version 11.1.115.17 right now.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

did you try a reboot after the software install? I know you shouldnt have to but it never hurts.
Yes, I uninstalled Flash, rebooted, re-installed flash, rebooted, updated flash in market, rebooted. I made sure in the browsers that javascript etc is enabled
Does anybody have any other ideas??

No, though I do notice you mentioned trying it in Chrome. Flash is not supported in Chrome on Android. So even if you get it to work it will work in Dolphin or the stock browser but not Chrome. And in 4.1 Chrome replaces the stock browser so if you want flash I'd forget about the other two and concentrate on making it work with Dolphin.
Have you tried all the methods in this thread? You may need to be rooted for some of them.

So Update, I just opened my Tablet, and there was an update for Dolphin, I proceeded with the update and it seems that flash is working now on that browser, atleast on the site that I needed it most, my college class site, more tests will be ran
Thanks to everyone for their help
Hi,
I recently rooted my SGS2 with this kernel. And everything worked perfect.
Then after rooting i had wiped my phone and factory resetted it. Afterwards i notice some features of my phone dissappearing.
For instance:
I can't watch videos on Youtube (i have latest flash player installed) Though i can watch YT videos on the mobile website on the Internet browser.
I can't even watch videos on my phones built-in videoplayer and neither on MX Player.
My built-in camera doesn't show the picture of what i am taking, but after i've pressed the button it shows what i have taken a pic of (Ex. I want to take a picture of a flower. I open camera but the screen is all black except for the different options which are perfectly visible. But after i've pressed the button, the picture of the flower somehow appears)
What could've caused this? And is there a way to fix it all?
Thank you for all help, if what you've replied is helpful.. i'll gladly "thank you"
PS. I did not post this at CF Kernel thread because of some XDA rules for noobs
Also i have only flashed a Kernel, which means that my ROM is basically Stock ROM
Try another kernel like siyah/Dorimanx. I'm sure it should fix it. I Googled it
Sent from my Galaxy SII
Seems like you've messed something during the wiping/factory reset.
If you're on stock rom, you can try flashing the same firmware (which will restore any important files you've wiped)
Flashing stock rom without "re-partition" will not wipe your existing data/settings. But still Backup everything before flashing (Just in-case)
Ok,*boy*racer, i'll try your suggestion by flashing a new kernel (siyah probably) and if that doesn't fix it, then i'll just use kazi_rizwan's suggestion, by restoring my saved data (which i saved after rooting) with CWM Recovery
You'll receive thanks when i know it works
Thank you for your time,
AAnd the quick answers
THANK YOU GUYS!!
The mentioned problems i had with CF Kernel seems to have gone. Haven't seen everything but at the moment everything looks OK.
Probabaly just some bug with the CF Kernel, i hope Chainfire will fix it.
Thankx once again )
I need some help. I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (Version 11.1.115.69) installed on my stock (rooted/unlocked) Verizon Note 2.
On some videos (that are not a mobile version or through the video player) I get this issue where the sound works fine, but the video is completely messed up. It looks like a bunch of colored lines. The lines move as the video goes along. I don't know what to make of it because it only happens on some videos. Also, this has happened with every version of Flash that I have ever tried (which is all of them, as far as I know) with this device. Anyone else have this problem? In any case, can someone on a stock Verizon Note 2 please go to the page below and try and watch the movie? The lines problem has happened every time I have gone to that page and tried to watch the movie, both on the stock browser and with Dolphin Browser. I attached a screenshot of what happens below.

Any help regarding how to fix this would be most appreciated!
By the way, that movie is an excellent sequel to the first Monsters Inc. and I recommend it.
(And there is no need to freak out about not paying to watch the movie; I am planning to purchase it for my Nephew in the near future.)

I would venture to say that the problem is the site not flash. So far I haven't run across this problem. Try clean wiping and re-flashing. Also what stock rooted ROM are you running?
Hey. Most likely if you are running stock verizon bloated touchwiz, verizon likes to include a file/apk that is hidden that blocks flash player. To get rid of this you generally have to be rooted. After rooted you can either install a custom rom (any will do) OR if you want to stay stock you can use titanium back up and browse through your list off applications. You will noticed a "flash disable" application in red or something like that. Selected it and uninstall it. Once you do that you should have the flash player working properly.

It has happened to me on far too many sites for it to be their fault. I am on 4.1.1 I605VRALJB. I haven't updated my phone since I bought it in December (bad experiences with updates from Motorola). While this problem is frustrating, I don't think I want to wipe my phone just yet.

Hey!
There are two apps that have the world flash in them. I froze them both with My backup Pro and it didn't fix it. Any idea what the name would be if it didn't have the world flash in it?

What are the names of the apps? you might have frozen the app that runs flash which you want, and then youll have also frozen the app that blocks flash, so over all do you have no flash? (I dont know exacly im just speculating now from what ive read youve done)
edit: maybe try some simple things first, use yet another browser, such as nakedbrowser- its fast and flash works great in it. i would say maybe try unistalling then reinstalling flash, to a newer version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190346 i forget its not on playstore anymore. mines currently at 11.1.115.48

The names of the apps are:
com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService (v1.0)
and
FlashAnnotate (v0.8.6) and FlashAnnotateSvc (v0.8.4)
I tried that browser and it still had the problem, both with that version of Flash and the newest one. I think I'll need to re-flash eventually.. I was hoping to avoid it.

yeah ok well thats where my knowledge really ends as to what might be happening.
I understand your hesitation, but if flash is a thing you really want then that alone could be a reason to update. I have not had or seen any instability, or experienced any glitchyness myself and I have also only stuck to the touchwiz roms (simply personal preference). 4.1.2 on this device, well there isnt anything to fear, no getting burned here. lots o great roms to check out.
edit: oh and one last word if you want to stay as you are. did you try the 115.48 flash version?

Yeah, I have not had good luck with updates. I did try that version just now (and several other versions before now).
4.1.2 has been unlocked and rooted, but is it possible to get back to 4.1.1?
Thank you for trying to help! Really appreciate it!

ok I havent really worried about flash i guess on the custom roms there must be some libraries or plugins or something to have flash fully functional.
Make a full nandroid back up of what your on now. Im not 100% positive but if you want you can then just flash back to 4.1.1. Make sure you restore with the same version of the custom recovery you backed up with if you want to go baack.
You should probably also search that question. I believe it has been answered several times. I might have seen it in passing.

Right, because the backup backups the OS as well as your phone memory. That has always boggled my mind. So I could just restore that and be good.
One last question: When installing this update, I probably don't want to be unlocked, right? I know I can temporarily unroot so no problem there.

yes your nandoid will save the image of your system and data(if thats what you mean by phone memory) so youll restore you to that state.
no if your bootloader unlocked and all that, leave it. I recommend looking over droidstyle guide too, i usually do every now and again just to refresh my mind. You can simply flash a stock 4.1.2 rom check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387635 so look for one that is basically untouched except for being rooted and unlocked still. You can also try out any 4.1.2 rom too
Nah, jumping between threads is fun!
But seriously, is it completely necessary to factory reset before flashing that?

Yup. Sorry for late resposnse. So um id suggest if you havent don anything yet. Update to latest recovery proabaly twrp since 8ts easy to use and it seems to be the most versatile (but some customs roms prefer clockwork) then back up efs modem boot system data for a full image of your 4.1.1 so you can be fully backed up. Then do the factory data reset wipe cache and dalvik in recovery after. Af6er wipe then flash rom.
Since you are rooted, you can download the latest version of flash and run it from the stock browser. Chrome has issues with it. I prefer the stock browser as it does exactly what Chrome does but with flash support. And I would suggest atleast upgrading to a 4.1.2 rom. There were alot of bug fixes between the 2.
I'm pleased to report that I flashed that 4.1.2 ROM and the flash player issue is gone.
I was pleasantly surprised to see my sdcard0 remain untouched after I wiped data from custom recovery.

Flash Player Issue
I think the problem lies with the website. Viooz.co is full of malwares and other viruses. I hate those pop up ads which just pop out on just one click.
There are many websites which you can rely upon :
www.solarmovie.me
www.movie25.ws
www.afdah.com
So, I've been having issues off and on with google play movies and downloading movies I'd had on here previously. For a time everything worked fine, slow but fine. Then this started. I decided I'd try another rom. Then I start getting "can't fetch license -1". cleared cache in play services, movies and all of that.
Now, I'm thinking that I may just revert back to stock, (I'm not rooted, running TWRP latest version, believe I was running slimkat or a cleanrom. Anyways, big question is what's the easiest/best solution? If I go back to stock firmware, now on cm 12, do I need to treat the Tab as if its rooted or can I just download, wipe and flash older firmware? BTW, I've used ODIN, adb etc. before on a few old phones with no problems it's just been a long time. Thanks in advance for any help!
