So last night i upgraded to 4.0.3 by samsung kies, and after using it for a while i realized that the flash player doesn't seem to work even though i already had the adobe flash player 11 app
I went to google play store and tried to update, but for some reason this error keep popping up "Your order is processing, your item will be available in few minutes"
When i tried to uninstall, i got stuck in the uninstalling process, so i restarted the phone (even though it was still uninstalling, very dumb of me )
After the restart, apparently the adobe flash player 11 did uninstall, but now when i try to download it from google play i keep having that same error again, the "Your order is processing, your item will be available in few minutes"
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Did i screw up badly and i need to factory reset now?
There is a few people complaining about Google play is acting up. What version do you have? I think the issue was with .21

What about maybe ics DOESN'T support adobe flash. I've read in numerous posts on Web that adobe flash will NOT be supported for ics. If true that's your problem....google it end find out but I'm sure that's the case!
DON'T MESS WITH STEWY GRIFFIN ! (What the ....!) Sgs2
i managed to install the program by downloading from web browser from my pc...
but when i run the flash player settings app i just have a black screen now
and after a while it crashes with the error saying "Unfortunately, Adobe Flash Player 11.1 has stopped."

Adobe flash is not supported in ICS! AND guess what nobody was ready for that! The forums should accept a little responsibility for not posting about ICS not supporting (adobe ) flash.

well the description of the app on google play under what's new says this
"This update to Adobe Flash Player 11 includes compatibility with android 4 supported devices, performance improvements blablabla"

Look I'm not 100% sure on this. But The answer to the market saying supports 4.0 devices is probably for tablets etc. just a guess. Why it's not supported by flash (adobe flash by the way) I don't know -something to do with Html5 being brought in to view video content). PS I have read somewhere that adobe DID say that 4.0 will be the last platform that they will support with flash. Whether they haven't got round to it yet is something I'm not sure about . But it will be supported at some time. when I don't know?
Hope this helps and .quells peoples fears

Can you be more specific. What do you mean it worked for flash player. Clearing market data worked for flash player? Did flash work on ics, because I've read that alot of people can't use flash to watch video in ics. Appreciate the feedback.

Hi, at Uplinq conference Qualcomm announced that they worked very closesly with Adobe to make the Flash player available for mass market devices and get this, they said that our 800Mhz msm7227 is first mass market SoC that will support it!
Here you have official press release.
With proper hardware acceleration this could allow smooth playback of 360p clips and GPU accelerated flash shouldn't slow down browser that much.
Now it's just up to adobe to release supported version of flash and maybe up to samsung to release new firmware
EDIT: Decided to add a poll to see what will you do with flash after finally getting it on your device
Great news!
This is great!!!

Few things about this announcement that I keep thinking about:
1) this new version of flash will probably need new drivers developed by qualcomm to make flash work as it should so this means that samsung will have to release new firmware after the latest 2.3.3, so maybe with 2.3.4?
2) New drivers could mean improvements to the 3D performance
3) Samsung please do everything to give us full flash support!
honestly I don't use flash that much. the only thing I do use it for is flash videos and skyfire does the trick brilliantly! sure there are a few bugs but the browser is improving day by day. i see little to no use for me! but for some people that love flash games this is indeed great news!
I personally love not having no flash on my phone...too much adverts in my opinion!
This is my first post here. I want to buy this phone in recent times. In post above you mentioned skyfire browser. Does it show flash content even in this phone that does not support adobe flash?

AFAIK skyfire allows user to enjoy flash videos without flash on device. It transcodes(or whatever) the flash videos to something that is supported by the device.
Don't know precisely how it works cause I'm still using default system browser.
Nope. It only allow to watch videos, but not all. For example on a site with few embedded it will play only the first one.
And not all sites are supported.

Thanks for clearing that up, now I learned something new too
After more than a week of people voting in the poll I decided to summarise it.
1) 56,41% of people will use it to watch flash videos and that was to be expected.
2) 43,59% of people will show that their Ace supports flash, which I think is very funny and I will do the same. What's more interesting is the fact that only 35,9% will use it to play flash games.
3) 7,69% will not download it. I find it strange considering how many people longed for flash support.
I made to open flash 10.1 via Adobe air on LG GT540 with arm 6, now I have samsung. No flash - is shame...

Just wondering if anyone has got adobe flash player to work on CM9 Beta? I'v been trying around with pretty much every version avalible. I have not seen much about it in the CM9 Beta dev thread. I hope people dont take this as an attempt to be pushy about it, I'm just wondering how to progress is going. The CM9 Beta from zeubea is very much appreciated and I'm very thankful for it.
It will not fully work but you can still install it.

Here's how I make mine work :
Install 10.3 apk, which is actually flash 11. After installing don't open just reboot.
You will find flash setting in your app drawer. Just do whatever setting suits you
Flash will work only on the stock Google browser. I tried with opera next it dun work.
Now just go to bbcsports football and try. It works all the time for me.
It works, don't get me wrong but it doesn't work well. Flash videos on the internet lag like a ***** to the point where it is unplayable. I'm using version 11 (or so it says)

I did what you said ndmuni and it's still not working.
I downloaded it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340773 which I thought should be the right version.
The app said 10.3 not 11 as Stevemotto mentioned.
I then uninstalled and tried from the same thread I found the first one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23663364&postcount=28
That one said 11.v11.0.1.153 in the app.
Still the same result.
I tested BBCSports football with the original browser and the result has always been it tells me to download adobe flash player and it links me to adobe saying
I got the wrong verison.
It's really hard for me to give this one up as I know that some live streams I watched before worked fine with another rom, and when you guys says it works for you.
I would really appreciate if you guys can link me the page where you downloaded your version. It would help me narrow down the possible factor that I might still have the wrong version.
Thanks for helping me out.

Hey guys, as zeubeas rom is still in beta0 and there is still some issues with the 2D drivers (something to do with debug), plus most of codecs are still broken, I have also tried most of the versions of flash available with out much success. These issues I suggest could also be related to cm9 itself, from what I've seen our ics is ported from an RC anyway and not from a stable version. Hopefully this is a fixable issue, and not one of those non fixable issue.

1.Well I got the CM10 on a I9000 and i installed flash player on it. I used an old version of dolphin(from some thread) so i could enable flash.
But whenever i go to a website to check out some videos it either says "You must install flash" or the website doesnt load
2.I originally used opera 11.0.2 to play flash but now whenever i start a flash content it crashes with no errors.(This seems to be a ROM related problem) Ill be posting my suggestion here since i can't post in their topic XD (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778526)
Well if they can fix the opera from crashing it will be awesome:good:

I need a Flash Player to watch flash videos on HTC Explorer and Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830.
Which is the best ? Or should I install a browser ?
Both ARMv6 devices so don't expect much to work. There are unofficial flash apks out there for ARMv6 but performance isn't that good. If you want decent flash player you'll need an ARMv7 device.

Oh, you're right, I saw that it had a MSM7225A SOC and thought it was ARMv6, but the SOCs with the A are actually ARMv7. You can try the Android 2.x flash apk from the site in my signature. For a browser you can use the default one that came with your device or a 3rd party one like Dolphin Browser, etc.

I installed Dolphin Browser & SWF Player - Flash ®FileViewer on both the phones.
On Galaxy Ace, the site worked using the Dolphin browser and SWF Player seperately, but the images are moving in frames i.e still images moving after 5-10 seconds. On Explorer, the site didn't load anything at all using both seperately.
I don't know, why !

I try to keep it updated all the time, right now the latest version is up. You can always go to the direct Adobe link at the bottom and see. But newer releases are all just security fixes that aren't adding any new features, they will never make anything past version 11.1.x.

I'm running Cyanogenmod 11 on my Mega 6.3. The attached pic shows YouTube while playing a video. Can anyone please suggest what is happening here, and a fix? Other videos in other apps play just fine.
Possibly also relevant; a couple of apps that need to play mp3 or wav files, at the point of having to do so crash, bringing up an error message. I can live with that problem, but I would like to get on top of the Youtube one.
Any thoughts, anyone? Cheers.

I've settled on "Video Tube", which does play in full-screen and which, to be honest, I think I prefer to Youtube, so I'm happy to stick with that. But the Youtube issue is baffling, and I'd now be very interested if anyone can suggest why certain apps, at the point where they have to play wav or mp3 files, crash ...?

If you are already running cm ROM, you just need to wipe dalvik/cache to update. You will not lose your data or settings...

Thanks again, but I have to remind you that although I'm computer literate I'm completely new to flashing phones. I have no idea what "gapps" are, so how will I know which I prefer?! And "Banks core" is Greek to me, I'm afraid!
And surely if I "Flash ROM followed by gapps", that entails then re-loading all my apps and data again, which I really don't want to have to do?
I'll leave it for now, but I'm grateful for your help nevertheless. Cheers.
That's ok, but trust me when I say that you will not lose any data.
Gapps is Google Apps. Banks core is a gapps pack made by an xda user BaNkS. You will find it here. I like to flash just the core package which contains only Google playstore & Google play services. All other google apps i need, I download from play store.
This is just for your info...

Thanks again. I'm certainly interested to learn all of this. I just don't want to learn by messing up all my settings, or worse still bricking my phone, in the process, that's all!
So what exactly IS the dalvik/cache? Are you saying that I could boot into recovery, wipe the dalvik/cache and then come out again, and my setup, data, settings, etc would all still be fine? In which case, would it be a good idea for me to do that? What does wiping the dalvik/cache achieve?
