What is it worth a tablet that cannot play video or flash stuff browsing/reading news or else?
I am so disappointed and regretting to have made this upgrade, trusting some people who claimed to have a
workaround for Flash Player.
The next thing is hoping that a method for locked device but rooted is found to downgrade, cause I was more satisfied then than now.
It was not enough to have others issues with the Prime, rebooting, freezing, BlueTooth and bad WiFi signal.. now we do not even have Flash working.
Well if a workaround that works is not found, I think I will try desperate to downgrade and stay on ICS.

Did downloading the apk and installing it not work for you?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336
All you have to do. Is sideload flash.apk and stock browser. apk and it will work fine. Flash works flawless on my Nexus 7. Refer to Nexus 7 forums for details. There's a thread in there with the flash.apk and browser.apk for you to download and install. Very simple and easy to do. Just follow directions OP gives you. But believe me, plenty of xda users JB devices are using flash just fine.
I sideloaded Flash and it works fine. I use Boat Browser + Flash + JB without any problems.
Additionally, more websites are using HTML5 video instead of flash. And if you just bought the tablet for flash, you're really not getting the point of a tablet. Tablets and smartphones are more app based rather than browser based.
I still have flash on the stock browser after updating to JB.
Worse case..try one of these methods I posted in another thread

Others don't like having 1000 applications for every website out there (youtube, gmail, xda, etc.) when you can use browser for that.

Flash is still there, it won't show up in your apps but it's still there.... at least on my device it is. I have no problems playing flash content and it's faster than before..... if you got to settings, apps, all, you'll see it's still there. Also Adobe will continue to push updates to Adobe® Flash via Google Play to those devices that had Adobe® Flash previous to the Jelly Bean update.

I never thought I'd say this, but I don't really miss Flash at all in day to day browsing now. Most sites that I use don't use it hugely, or have converted to HTML5, and for video I mainly use YouTube anyway so the built in app works fine.
I have been using Chrome since it was first released, and have only gone back to the stock browser for flash once or twice in the last few months. So for me, I haven't lost anything, and probably wouldn't notice for a while if I did. The main thing I notice is that flash-based ads don't appear, and I consider that a feature.
Here are the facts of life RE mobile flash

The fact is that all Android tablets from here out will be in the same boat. So this doesn't make the Prime "poor" unless you want to say all Android tablets made from now on are "poor". Then, don't forget that the iPad has never supported flash. Therefore if you follow your reasoning to it's logical conclusion, then the iPad is "poor" too. So where does that leave you? Well, you won't be using a tablet or phone for web browsing. Not any tablet or phone. The work arounds will keep it going a bit longer, but it is dead.
This is another useless thread. Its really upsetting, especially now the op got flash working and the whole point of the thread is irrelevant. Update your first post and title OP!
I dont find the thread upsetting or useless at all. I think its a good informative thread for any users that do want flash .

Because we can still boot into WebOS. I started thinking about all the folks complaining about what doesn't work on their Touchpad, and thought about someone who comes to the forums and might be afraid to flash because they'll lose the camera, or youtubeHD, or HuluPlus and just thought I'd remind folks that rebooting into WebOS is easier than some of the crazy work arounds people are trying. It's actually pretty amazing to be able to do what we do. Most phones that get an Alpha ROM with lots of bugs, have to deal with all of it......we can just boot back into WebOS and all is well.........so, Play with CM9, enjoy some apps and games, and the fun that it is, then boot into WebOS and watch a movie, or skype with your mom.........it's a GREAT friggen tablet!
So what doesn't work in CM9? I put CM7 on my tablet yesterday and the wifi not working and failing to connect all the time is driving me nuts. Almost to the point where I might just sell this thing.
Don't be foolish. There are threads 'aplenty dealing with and solving the wifi issue. Typically, it is caused by other routers near you using the same channel and changing your routers channel will solve the problem.
But if you are really so ticked off you want to sell, how much are you asking and is it a 32 or 16gb?

Lower the channel on your wifi router. Not sure what the bug is but that fixed it for me. (Iirc I had 11 or something, now 4 - works fine)

That only works if you can access the router. Kinda hard to do that at other businesses.
Will have to give CM9 a shot and see if it is any better.

I guess I don't understand the title. Cm9 everything works.
Netflix doesn't work. But at least change the title to represent this subject right. Maybe choose: between cm9 AND webOS, everything works (except netflix)
Just a thought. Ur title lures people in thinking that cm9 updated so everything works. And that isn't the case at all.
Just a friendly reminder.

I read this on Dalingin's Twitter. I guess I meant video codecs. The performance is great, I just want Netflix and HD Youtube.
Put on the alpha 0.6 after wiping with CWM. Works great. Wifi connects with no issues unlike CM7.
I keep seeing posts about HD video playing for Youtube and Hulu not working. I assume if I copied a bunch of HD movies onto it for travel they will have issues and general video playing would suck up battery life. Is hardware decoding in the works? Does CM7 suffer the same issue?
As far as video playback goes, I've been using arc media tab player. Using the regular. Avi files with very little problems. Its been great while on vacation and on the long flight.
Im psyched about ics for the phone, but if it means I'm gonna lose flash and not be able to run most websites anymore, I think im gonna have to skip the update all together.. will development be able to give us flash back in ics?

Right now flash works on ICS but basically if something major changes and Google or Adobe don't work to support flash then the devs can't do anything.

Flash works. It may be outdated, but as of now still many websites rely on it. Not to mention the pain-in-the-ass "this video is not optimized for mobile viewing", which can only be avoided through flash (loading the desktop youtube site).

The official stance is that it's not supported, but I believe Google said that would change. Either way, not being supported and not working are 2 very different things. I remember being told that my Nokia N95 only supported SD cards up to 8GB. That didn't stop the 16GB one working though
Incidentally, you'd be surprised how many videos you see online that are actually HTML5 and no longer Flash. It's not as supported as Flash yet, but it's definitely making its mark!
Adobe has stopped supporting Flash on mobile devices but as some of the previous posters mentioned, it doesn't mean it won't work. I wouldn't worry about it. There are also options of installing third party browsers such as Dolphin HD that would include flash, if by chance the ICS browser doesn't. However, I am sure it will. I remember reading that flash player will still come with android stock browsers whether ICS or not if I remember correctly
Please no flaming. My first post.
I'm too new to post in the developers forum, so I am here.
(And maybe I can help a fellow noob in the process!)
Background:
I rooted my Nook using Indirect's method here:[Blocks OTA's!] Full root for Nook Tablet. [11/20/11] [Permanent root!], back in January.
It was fairly simple and straight forward. I encountered no issues/problems.
I also installed Indirect's App to flash recovery, and ROM Manager from the Market (Play).
So, I started with a stock, rooted Nook. Nothing prior ever flashed.
I used TB (Titanium Backup) to back up all my apps data. It's a must if you want to save your progress in games and custom settings you've made in apps.
I took the plunge yesterday & flashed CM9 for Nook Tablet Alpha 0.03. The things that "don't" currently work with the ROM were things I wasn't worried about, and enough DID work for me to want it, like NOW ! LOL
NOTE: This ROM has an expiration clause. It is still considered Alpha, and is updated constantly/continually, and is valid only for a limited time. Do not think what you have today is what you'll have in the future. Check the thread for updates and issues.
Using the above mentioned software to flash the ROM went very smooth.
I had no issues or problems flashing the ROM.
I installed GAPPS that I got from here: goo.im Again, no issues flashing it either.
(I used this video as a guide ~> YouTube.
I watched Albert's video first as a primer. Albert's video is rather long, but it helped a lot to understand the steps involved, and the shorter one was easy to follow during the actual flashing .
MAKE SURE you do the wipe step! VERY important. From what I have read, not doing this causes most of the problems encountered.
I started my new "ICS" Nook Tablet & what a difference. Not just in appearance. Performance is noticeable as well.
(I did have one issue, that was of my own doing! I couldn't get WIFI to work. Great signal, just couldn't connect. Why? MAC filtering on my router ! DUH ! LOL. All is good now.)
I re-booted so I could start adding my apps back and customize it.
I signed into "Play" and downloaded most of the apps I had before I flashed. Very few weren't compatible with ICS. All apps installed quickly with no issues. Some apps I had before weren't compatible with the stock rooted Nook, and they work now with ICS. I installed Go EX Launcher, just because I like the options and am familiar with the workings of it. Again, no issued installing or customizing it.
I signed into Amazon & downloaded my apps from there as well, and with a few exceptions, all installed as well.
I then used TB to restore my data from my games so I wouldn't lose progress, and they all updated smoothly. Quell was the one I really wanted to save the progress on & it started me from where I left off before flashing.
Issues:
Scrolling on a web page is slightly thready visually, but not so much that I'd dump the ROM.
I was able to get YouTube to play both SD & HD video. Some have said HD wasn't working for them, but I didn't have that problem.
I haven't tried the microphone, and a few other thing, but I'll update this post with any issues or comments as time progresses.
Overall, can't wait until this ROM is out of Alpha/Beta status. It is fantastic !
Not a bad post for first. Just so you know, you wouldn't have posted this in the
development section even if you could. This was more of a general post than anything and would be more appropriate there, but no harm no foul. You say that you have youtube sd/hd playing. Just curious netflix still doesn't work ,right. I haven't flashed cm9 for awhile and not quite sure what all is working at this point. Thanks....
Moderator, please move thread to general.

Right. Only audio in Netflix, no video running .03
It has expiration because some smarta** tried to sell it to e***.
CM9 wont play HD videos no HWA, yet.
Not flaming, just wanna point out that there's CWM (clockworkmod) and then there's CM9 (cyanogenmod9) there's no 'CWM9' as the threads title states. I know it can be tough in this forum cuz people throw terms around a lot. Not flaming, just a helpful tip.

Thanks for the replies.
I changed the title, (Thanks SilentStormer)
demetris_I, You are correct about the SD vs. HD video. Neither the YouTube mobile web site, nor the app will run HD video. My mistake.
And yes, some people suck. They'll try to make a dime any way they can. Buyer beware
Why is it so hard to make a browser that is just as good as a desktop browser? Every one I try either lags, freezes or just wont work at all.... Stock ICS browser is the best one so far, but still not 100% good.
Any clues or comments?
Well, the Prime isn't managing browsers very well... BUT, when i use stock browser with AdAway and Browser2Ram (both require root access), it becomes faster and smoother then my quad-core desktop!
Every problem except Wifi and Gps are from software, not hardware. So with tweaks here and there, you can 'fix' them. (Excluding other problems caused by bad manufactured units)

If I had to guess (thank you Google) he's probably talking about this on github.
Apparently there is a new browser build in the soon to be released firmware that improves things rather significantly. The issues however, run far deeper and apparently a lot of the Prime's issues are, while not fixed, a lot less noticeable with said firmware.

Hi,
I've had android devices for years and always kept them locked and stocked.
I've not got an Nexus 10 and was wondering is it actually worth rooting the thing and loading a custom rom?
Will I actually gain anything except be able to change where the home button is?
All thoughts welcome!
THanks in Advance.
If nothing else I would root it. That gives you the option of using programs like Titanium Backup to backup apps and install a custom recovery and have the ability to back up your whole device.
As far as custom ROMS go that's a personal choice. Right now there are not allot out due to the newness of the device, but I'm sure that will change very quickly as Devs stat getting it.
I would root to gain access to titanium back up and ad blockers but beside that there aren't that many great custom roms out there. Stock doesn't have bloatware or any common pitfalls of stock.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
If you are tech savvy, I would highly suggest all 3. You can improve things like battery life by undervolting the CPU and GPU, changing to more conservative governors, and having applications automatically shut off your wifi when your tablet turns off (can't remember if you can do that one without root).
Rom
Yeah, i agree with above opinion. You need to learn things before rooting your tablet. You can check out many rooting videos on YouTube channel to learn about that more easily. Besides, many Google Play apps are free to play.
Check out qbking77 videos on youtube and you will get a how to on the rooting process
Ad blocking is one of the top ten reasons to own any Android device. Root is a vital part of the XDA experience.
It is seriously addictive playing around with different kernels and roms and root apps after you make that first plunge and learn how to do it just be prepared for a little frustration at first. Its very hard to find guides that don't assume you already know the terminology and general techniques! But after that first time, its easy

You get usb otg support with a rooted device which is crucial for the 16 gb version.
At the same time you dont lose anything when rooting. Especially the nexus 10 is intended to be rooted painlessly and you can revert the whole process too if need be

How so exactly? I'm probably wrong, but I only figured PA to only really be useful either if you want to switch between tablet or phone UI on certain apps, and Tablet UI.
Hmm....
Interesting, thanks for the info.
I've got Nexus Media Importer and that's a godsend as I've got the 16gb.
The problem I have now is that I've been using my N10 since November and have just got it the way I like it.
Is there a way to back it up before it gets wiped when I unlock the bootloader?
Also, If I root will I be able to get OTA updates; I want to stick with stock for now.

There is a way to backup most of the stuff you have on your tablet. It won't be a 1:1 copy tho. You will not get OTA updates but you can alwyas easily flash to stock and get them. In your case i wouldnt recommend rooting the tablet. If you are curious though about the possibilities you might unlock you should at least try it

Not the only thing you could do with PA - I have this flashed and LOVE it! this might be more of a personal thing but the ability to change your navbar color (battery, time, soft keys) per app is amazing! Again to each their own but I like this ROM on this tablet - I use the CM10 Nightlies on my phone as it suits it better.
To answer the OP - read as much as you can before you decide to Root and Flash - I believe all three is a must but I like to customize things.

Well now that you have root and a custom recovery you should try all the candy in this forum
Go to the nexus 10 rom section and try some roms. There are roms that change a whole lot like ParanoidAndroid and there are roms with more subtle changes (like mine).
Keep in mind that flashing a new rom will wipe anything on your tablet but its ok because you can make nandroid (complete) backups of your present state using the recovery.
Also i recommend you to try apps like GMD gesture control. It enables you to define custom gestures for nearly everything. (Comparable tp those on the ipad but more customizable)
