I don't have this phone, still on the Note II, but you can try downloading it directly from Adobe (Flash Player Archives. Scroll down to the Android. Make sure you get the one for Android 4. I think it'll probably work.
Don't forget to use a flash player friendly browser such a Boat, Dolphin, or the crappy generic one (non Chrome) that Samsung throws in.

Yea, flashplayer for android was discontinued at 11.1 so we're stuck with what we've got. I concur with this recommendation for Dolphin browser and enable flash always on in the settings. Either way, don't expect it to work perfectly. For example, I can't get Amazon Prime videos to play no matter what flashplayer.apk I try or browser I use. It just doesn't work. I'd have to spoof my device identity somehow.

It's a bit of crap shoot on what sites will work and won't. What I find best, go into your browser settings, change how browser to act as desktop browser. You may need to change to something like IE, Firefox or so forth from Android (this defaults to mobile sites).
I don't recommond Flash always on. I suggest On-Demand if available. Some sites are very flash heavy and this will help load times and data usage. Plus, given how things can be, Flash isn't always stable on the mobile, so it helps with those.
I've run into odd issues such as Kompster. It overall fine for Sirius NFL through the webbrowser. It will work for Motogp video, but on the my tablet, but to mirror on a TV, I need to half screen first, then plug in the HDMI cable, otherwise it won't show the race and Flash Player crashes. NFL Game Pass service works for games, but the archived shows start and crap out after about thirty seconds. I find overall for sites that use it for navigation or downloading, it works fine.
As for browsers, I suggest Boat browser. I found if Dolphin is working, it works well with Flash Player. I couldn't get Dolphin to load on the Note 2. Also, there is some evidence that Dolphin stores browsing history; supposedly it to make web browsing faster. I also think Boat has a smaller footprint. Boat also has a tablet version that I've been able to able to download and load on the Note 2. Nice looking. It's in beta. I found that not everything works in that version as does the normal Boat browser.

Hi all,
Only had my Transformer Prime for a few days and still getting to grips with it. It's been awesome so far, with just a couple of niggles! It came with ICS pre-installed which was interesting as I've never used an ICS device before. I have had a couple of issues with poor wifi but from browsing the forums here I can see its a bit of an issue...
The biggest problem I have had so far is Flash. I bought the Prime for my wife mostly and she likes playing the Flash games on Facebook. It took me a while to get a browser to actually play the flash games and annoyingly all the browsers still show the mobile site so I had to redirect to www.facebook.com and not m.facebook.com. Chrome said no plugin was available to play this file type, Opera Mini showed the flash content upside down and mirrored... I cant actually remember which browser is on at the moment but it was the only one that would play the games.
The problem is that the game is really slow and basically just plays like an animation and doesn't detect presses/clicks.
Is there a better browser that will play the games or is it a hardware limitation of the tablet that the flash games are just too much?
Thanks
Dolphin HD is a great web browser and allows you the option to permanently place the browser in 'desktop' mode so no mobile sites. I've played Facebook flash games using it. It works. Its not as fast as it should be but the games work fine.
I really like Chrome but Chrome seems to load most sites in mobile mode which I hate. I don't even like to use mobile mode on my GNex. I don't get it. Most phones these days and especially tablets are powerful enough and fast enough to render full HTML. Its stupid were forced to view mobile sites.
At any rate, give Dolphin HD a shot!

opera mobile for me performs the best when it comes to flash.
I had forgot about Dolphin! That was my fave browser on my Optimus 3D until Three took exception to it and accused me of tethering!
I will give it a try.
Thanks all.
Give "ICS Browser +" a try, i find it to be the best performance and i used to use dolphin all the time.
However i think youll remain disapointed by flash in any browser, they all have a lag effect and never run as they should in a normal browser.
P.S. Remember to set the user agent to Desktop and make all plugins run automaticaly.

stock browser performs much better than chrome on the prime (on my htc sensation i prefer Chrome because of the tabs)
I'm constantly switching. I was using Chrome when it first came out - somehow flash in it would work for me but i had to press the screen twice, one to load the "picture" and then once again to load the flash. It no longer works now.
I use ICS Browser + and Opera Mobile, exclusively. Opera more so. It hasn't crashed once, very very stable, and I love being able to open 25+ windows in the background and navigate from each to read the stories or forums from them. When something doesn't load properly (rare) i pop out ICS Browser + or stock browser. I was using dolphin back in the day but it was really lagging when scrolling down quickly. For me it's Opera = used it a few times before but since their new update - extremely stable!!!!
I find ICS Browser + to be the smoothest.
Don't forget to change to performance mode in settings.
You say you have tried opera mini. Have you tried opera mobile instead? Best browser i've come across so far for that sort of content.
Hi, here is a doubt / problem / question I have about the flash player in the TF prime..
I posted about this in the Android Q&A forum but I wasn't sure if that was the right place.. hence I thought I'll drop the question here as well, and I also saw the replies to threads in this forum is more than there..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1651191
Can some please help? Thanks in advance.
Edit:
I checked again and it seems the Adobe flash player is installed and working properly.
But when I try to run some Java tests or Shockwave player tests, they don't run and it looks like they aren't installed / aren't working properly.
Now, please forgive my ignorance, but is it that Java or Shockwave do not work on Android OS or browsers? I have tried this with Opera browser for android.
Thanks and cheers..
Edit 2
Ahh.. this is driving me nuts.
Now when I try to open Amazon Cloud Drive through the browser (Opera), it says Adobe flash player is required and it doesn't seem to be installed in the browser and I should get flash player..
Whats this all about? I have flash player installed I tried to check in Opera settings to see if there was anything I need to change / enable but I couldnt find anything relevant.
When I try to install flash player from that page in any case, I am not able to because it says the OS isn't supported!!!! WTH!
Edit 3
I tried with Dolphin Browser HD and there it seems to work without any problem - I can access the Amazon Cloud Drive folders for example and other sites and I don't see "no flash" error messages with Dolphin!!!
Hmm...
That was the only thing to do, trying another browser, like dolphin or Firefox
Yes, I have now checked different sites with Dolphin browser and they all work fine, while they don't with Opera!!
So probably I'll stick with Dolphin HD for those sites, for now.
Btw, while searching for a 'fix' for this issue, I came across many places which suggest Chrome Beta is also 'amazing' and 'wonderful' and the fact that once it comes out of Beta, it will be the stock Android browser? Is that true? And how is Chrome beta on an Android phone or tablet? Is it better than Dolphin or Opera, in all functionality?
Thanks and cheers.
Edit
Well, I guess I jumped the gun there.. I tried some flash and shockwave test pages.. Flash is working fine but Shockwave player test fails even with Dolphin HD.. uufffffffff... I'm a bit tired now!
I thought when I bought the Nexus 10 that I would be able to do everything that I already do on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 and Galaxy Note One and more. However, I am very disappointed to discover how much less I can do without Flash Player which is no longer supported on Jelly Bean.
For example, I can no longer use the stock Chrome browser or the old BBC iPlayer or new BBC Media player to watch live or recorded BBC programs. Nor does TVCatchup work or CMCMarkets where I trade for they also need Flash Player. I suspect that the ITVPlayer will also not work.
With Jelly Bean you are now relying on Web Sites to produce apps to enable their Flash Player content to be viewed and if they don't produce an app then you are stuck.
Flash content is still widely used on the Web and can be viewed using Windows browsers which are still supported by Adobe.
Most of the mobile Android browsers such as Chrome, Opera Mobile, Dolphin, etc. no longer support flash on Jelly Bean so if you need flash on mobile then you are stuck. I have only found one mobile browser which works on CMCMarkets and that is the Puffin browser but it constantly crashes and is not nearly as good as the Opera browser on CMCMarkets which I am using on the 7.7 and Note one.
I am very tempted to return my Nexus 10 because it does not allow me to do the things which I already do and which are important to me. For If I keep the Nexas 10 then I'll still need to use the 7.7 and Note for viewing flash player content on the web.
I'm surprised that others here have not voiced problems about the lack of flash player on the Nexus 10.
Wow....such a waste of a thread. Sorry you don't know how to search and see that there are plenty of browsers that support flash still and that the ones you listed aren't the only ones...
This isn't a problem with the nexus 10. This is jellybean. Adobe stopped supporting flash on mobile devices because HTML5 is taking over. Any jellybean device does not support flash. You can however Google search adobe flash apk and you can find the latest flash player and install it on your N10.

That's not a Nexus 10 problem.
So I am confused... Do you have a problem with the n10? Seems like your problem is with jellybean in general...

There's ways to get flash working. Look to nexus 7 forums for insight. We had same issue initially. All we did was load a stock ICS browser then a known working flash player apk. Now most of us have flash working flawlessly on nexus7. Don't blame nexus10 for flash not working. Its more of Google moving away from flash content. But as always when there's a will there's a way. Believe that xda users will have flash player working on nexus10 in no time. But you can look in nexus7 forum to see how we solved the same problem.

Thanks for your help.
I tried some of the Nexus 7 solutions such as using the stock ICS browser, or ICS versions of browsers such as Opera Mobile and Dolphin and various versions of flash player but could not get anything to work.
Unfortunately, I only have 14 days if I want to return the Nexus 10 and get a refund and perhaps look at the Microsoft tablet as a solution.
Get holo web browser, it supports flash or just manually install the old android browser and adobe flash apk.

Hate to tell you this but flash in general is going to be going away, replaced by html5, so at best you will be spending way more money , to have a few months of flash support, and using the N7 suggestions, I have flash working on the N10.
Flash is working fine here...
Sideloaded iplayer (and BBC media player), works like pants but as well as on any other device.
Sideloaded tvcatchup, works well.
Sideloaded Flash, using with dophin browser, works well.
Just get the .apk files and install this way. Or wait for developers to update their apps for the N10. You're an early adopter - don't be surprised that things are a little barren on the app front at the moment.
Just dealt with this on my father's Nexus 7. For some reason several of the browsers that support plug-ins/flash don't seem to after side-loading the Flash 11.1 apk on 4.1/4.2.
Give the Firefox Beta (direct from Play Store) and one of the available Flash 11.1 apk's that's floating around before returning the 10. It's the only combination I found to work on the Nexus 7 both on 4.1 and after flashing 4.2. Not sure as to why it seemed to be the only one to work though (Boat and Dolphin didn't work). Keep in mind that unless you enable plug-ins entirely in Firefox, you'll have to tap instances of Flash (and other plug-ins) on sites to get them to play - something that because Firefox rendered the "Tap to Play" image after everything else made me at first think it wasn't working.

I don't want to return my N10 or buy an iPad so I would be grateful for details of how to get the apk files to get dolphin, BBCiplayer and TVCatchup working.

Flash works for me by useing this browser and installing the flash apk
Hi Guys, I've tried the suggestions so far without success such as the boat browser with flash player 11 and I'm wondering if the solutions being offered only work on the Nexus 7 but not on the Nexus 10.
I would like to hear details of how someone got flash player working in a browser so that flash player content on the BBC site can be played.
Thanks
Can you give a link to the site that isn't working?
Not sure if this is old news or not...
1) Download & Install 'archived flash' from adobe site flash for android 4.x @ http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.27/install_flash_player_ics.apk
(if not there search google for 'adobe archived flash player')
* Make sure you go into settings and put a checked box by unknown sources or it won't let you install it since the apk you just download is not from the google play. Afterward, you can go back and uncheck it for better security.
2) Install Dolphin for Pad v1.0 @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dolphin.browser.pad&hl=en
* After installation, go through the wizard and change the agent to Desktop (or change it later in Dolphin's Agent in settings)
It's been working on most flash site for me
I have flash on my dolphin browser, I installed same version of flash as you linked to and deleted some setting within the data folder of dolphin browser (I don't remember exactly where on XDA I found the post).
How does the dolphin for pad work compared to the normal dolphin browser? Is it betteR?

Not really. Dolphin for Pad hasn't been updated in months and user reviews reflect the lack of interest from the developer.

yes, it is better for me.
Latest regular dolphin has feature disable that will not work with flash.
You have to restore old dolphin version to get it working with flash. When I did that, it was superslow and stuttering almost unusable for me that I can't even watch some streaming sports channel on it so I gave up and tried others...and found this work smoother and faster for me despite others low review. As long as it works for my Nexus 10, I didn't care about the reviews. I don't need all the features other negative reviewers were asking.
Flash works smoother and faster for me on dolphin pad

N00b I know... BUT all I've found on the internet is to download the Flash player 11.1 Apk and install it, tried that and it didn't work as a matter of fact now the default browser won't load but that's not big deal, I rather use chrome or mozilla but same thing, I try to run an app from facebook and all it asks for a flash player update even with java and flash enabled from the settings of the browser. The one on the play store says it is not compatible with the device (What the heck!?... I was able to use in a lower device as the optimus 3D Max p720) please help before I return the god d**m phone

Try xScope pro browser, delete whichever flash you have before installing xScope. It will have prompts to install flash when you first open browser. Go in to settings afterwards at set it for desktop view.
I'll try it just now

Here's the original Flash plugin from LG firmware.
I restore adobe flash player every time I upgrade a ROM, this will enable the built in browser, or AOSP browser to use adobe flash for all webpages. Doesn't work with chrome (last i tried anyway, 3 months ago)
Including candy crush, and any web players. Enjoy.View attachment com.adobe.flashplayer-9494d02bd392db9fc468e62040d6089b.apk
