Adobe ends Flash downloads on August 15th - Nexus 7 General

http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/29/3...pported?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
on August 15th you will no longer be able to download Adobe Flash from Google Play.
So it might be a good idea to backup the APK.

Nice, on my b-day! Lol

Happy Birthday! ....no more flash support
lulz

*shrugs*

It still works with Jelly Bean from what I've read.
You never know, developers might decide to update flash themselves.
Sent from my SGH-I9000 using xda app-developers app

i've confirmed myself by running jelly bean on my galaxy nexus that flash does work.
i watched an entire episode of stargate sg-1 on amazon prime video and it was perfect.

probably old news, but in the google nexus 7 manual that google has put on their books store, it states that you can still download the normal android browser from the play store if you want to watch flash videos.
otherwise, with chrome, just go to www.youtube.com/html5 and enable html5 videos.

Tbh, HTML5 is the way to go. The only downside to Google not supporting Flash anymore in Chrome is that a lot of content out on the web still uses Flash, like games, etc. But with the web as it is (HTML5 and CSS3) there is no reason for websites not to develop for these technologies. It would make the removal of plugins like Flash so that content will run in the web browser natively. In a few years things will change though.

Is there any way to play amazon prime videos without flash? I've just been using the browser and flash so far...

You can download the app from the kindle fire but it is very buggy on any device other than the fire and nook color (same resolution). Also it will not work if your rooted.
Firefox, DolphinHD, ICS Browser+ all support flash and work on the Nexus 7 and probably better than the app will.

Flash Player
Here: Adobe Flash Player 11.1.111.5

Google just seems to be pushing the envelope to get rid of Flash, Lol
Everyone needs to start developing HTML5 anyways, what better way than this

I have a current flash .apk stored in my dropbox already. I'm not too worried. Now hopefully people like amazon will start using html5 soon....

It wasn't Google's choice, Adobe doesn't want to put anymore time and money into Flash for any mobile platform.

It's too bad Flash doesn't die all together. As long as it is maintained on the desktop, developers will still use it and widen the mobile/desktop web fragmentation.
Devs need to start using html5 PERIOD and Flash just needs to DIE. It had a purpose at one point, but in modern times Flash no longer has a place.

Humm I do not agree, do a search on all the new flash based web games coming out. Also have you SEEN the "tools" for html5 development? I guess they are fine if you are a C++ guy, but for design they suck and no where near flash.
The up side is many things can be saved out as html5 right from flash.
The reality though is you do design for desktop and for mobile for most sites, so the fragmentation is here to stay, and flash is going to be part of the desktop.

The app from the kindle fire was built for gingerbread. As far as I know it wont work on newer android versions.

tubedroid

Hi everyone. I am looking for the app tubedroid. I had it once and since I rooted the app that I saved doesn't work anymore. For those of you that don't know what tubedroid is, you can download any video from youtube to your sdcard. Any help would be great.
I'm assuming it had something to do with it being illegal since downloading from youtube is forbidden.

can't see why downloading from youtube is illegal. I can send it to facebook, and you can download stuff to your desktop. Im not trying to sell it to make a profit, want less hassel when I want to watch my favorite music video.
It's against youtube tos probably.
I dont claim to know the ins/outs of youtubes tos... but how do apps like videodownloader get away with direct dl's from YouTube?

Ok illegal is probably not the right word, but it is against google policies so they will pull any app that does it from the market.
Sent from my leaked rooted HTC Droid Eris with Sense-Able 3.1 using Swype
If it is illegal to download it then it's illegal to watch it. You cannot watch it without downloading it. They may want to stop you from saving it but they can't stop you from downloading it without raking the video down. The same is true on the streaming music services. Take a look at Grooveshark's EULA. It's very well written in that regard.

I downloaded, ran, and it FC's on me when viewing over wifi. hangs on "4G". Hooking to ADB right now...
Tried this on my atrix and it is not working for me either. I wonder what modifications would be needed. Would it be possible to strip out the DRM hardware check from an .apk?

Yeah that's crazy. Why would they not include the Tegra 2? I guess it's all a waiting game on Netflix or to see if someone can crack it to make it work.
just find the thread in here for atrix that says flash 10.2 install. theirs a post with files in it so you can watch netflix with dolphin browser. I do it now!!

because the new Qualcomm cpu's have the necessary security DRM that netflix wants. Apparently Tegra 2 does not have it

BBC Iplayer Working and how to, with files

Been trying for about two days to get this working, was really annoying me that when i got the nexus 7, i could not use i player.
So here it is for the others that are having problems with it.
Install the two apk's attached.
If you have been trying to get it working with other versions of iplayer and flash, please go into app manager and clear the cache and data of these apps before opening them.
go to apps and launch i player and enjoy.
No need to use other browsers now.
just installed those files, working well. thanks.
Nice one cheers

Simple indeed but The picture quality is a bit crud with this method _ if u install flash and Firefox or dolphin mini and set to desktop user agent you can just go to the iPlayer website and select and the stream adjusts to your bandwidth and you can view the HD streams too! You have to put up with the flakiness of flash in a browser but you can still watch in glorious techno vision.

Edited: I meant to say use the Firefox beta from play and then set request desktop - then go to normal iPlayer website.
So far is most stable way to get high quality viewing and HD options. HD stuff looks awesome - other versions just look poo in comparison.
If u want to show someone iPlayer on N7 then the above is the easiest and best imo

Funny thing that, im no expert here, but when i wiped the Nexus and re installed the i player and flash as i said above, i got the same thing. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could explain. But also i Rooted the device and set the dpi to 160 for tabley mode before i installed. Maybe that has something to do with it.

I installed Firefox Beta from the play store, it works if before going to the iplayer site you set it to Desktop mode.

That's because here in the UK we pay a hefty licence fee for the privilege.
I was using firefox beta + sideloaded flash, but will give this a go. Thanks OP.

Just bought the HD+. Will get Tuesday. Good performance?

So my plan is to immediately put the CM10.1 on this tablet.
I mainly watch movies, read books, browse the web, and play a few games. But not too many games.
Will this tablet give me great performance in general? Or is it going to be limited? What kind of snappiness do you guys have with yours?
For what you will be using for the tablet performance should be perfect with room to spare. The Nook HD+ is a pretty solid tablet, only problems I've encountered are some minor touch sensitivity issues and a little bit of lag here and there but with some tweaking and customization it works pretty well.
Had mine since Wednesday. Great for watching TV/movies (avi/mp4).
Good for reading the web.
Great for comics.
Not got around to reading via the Kindle app.
Plays music fine.
Really enjoying it, but just like previous poster some touch sensitivity issues.
Well, I guess I will just need to try it for a bit and see if I am happy with it.
Hey I noticed that with it stock there are "incompatible" apps from the play store. Fandango for instance. If I put CM on it, am I still limited or is the buildprop edited so we can actually download these apps

No, most that say incompatible will still be incompatible on CM10.1. Your option is to download on another device, transfer the apk to the HD+, enable unknown sources on CM10.1 and install them. They usually run.

Actually, I just did CM to mine. My benchmark before was around 9000, with CM it went to over 10000.
And I found that several 'incompatible' apps became compatible. MLB At Bat works (only for radio, TV can't find my location). Also, a widgets app, iheart radio, and a couple others suddenly became compatible as well. But as they say, your mileage may vary. Of all the apps I have, the only one that is still incompatible is the Nook app... go figure! :laugh:
I can careless about the nook app. I honestly don't read much. I really bought this just because I got it so cheap

For reading of pdf books I suggest OrionReader, simple and smooth as hell.
For video MxPlayer could handle 720p animes on hd+
Really satisfied with the hd+, definitely a bargain to me
I am so glad you mentioned OrionReader. I use my Nook for reading music scores while playing piano and couldn't find an app that moved fast enough while turning the pages. Now I'm all set!

Amazon Instant Video app now available

Probably too little, too late, but then again, maybe not, but Amazon has finally released an android version of the Amazon Instant Video app:
http://www.droid-life.com/2014/09/09/amazon-prime-finally-comes-to-android-after-all-these-years/
However, no Chromecast support. Boo!
It does work. I've installed it on both my RAZR HD and my Nexus 7. However, you must also have the Amazon store app installed as well.
On the Nexus 7, you MUST install the non-tablet version of the Amazon store app. Until I installed the non-tablet version, it would keep telling me I had to install it and then would redirect me to the Amazon store web page.
Anyway to get it to work offline? Looks like you can only stream. I tried to purchase a video and download it. No dice.
Amazon and Netflix are streaming services.

That's kind of short sighted.
On the kindles, you can download videos for offline play. A buddy of mine does this frequently for long flights.
I meant that Amazon prime is streaming. Maybe it is different on an amazon device..I don't know. I think you may be able to download if you rent or buy but I'm not sure.

Doesn't surprise me Amazon didn't include Chromecast, even though it is the #1 selling devices in Electronics on Amazon.
Maybe they think this will increase their streaming player's popularity... They'd be wrong. But maybe that's what they're thinking =).
There doesn't appear to be a way to download currently on Androids. Hopefully, this will be in a future update, but I'm not sure. I'm just glad I can access my Instant videos from my Android device now without having to use the Dolphin browser. So much better.
Maybe now I can remove Flash from my device as that was the only reason I had it installed.
