G2 stock browser supports Adobe Flash Player

mp2ning · Sep 15, 2013

The G2 (AT&T) stock Browser supports Adobe Flash Player. Just go to Adobe's Archived Flash Player versions and download the latest version under Android 4.0. It didn't work on the Galaxy S4 4.2.2 stock browser so I thought it was worth mentioning.

Remember this works only on the stock Browser. It does NOT work in Chrome. Chrome does NOT support Flash!

And make sure that the option Enable plug-ins is set to Always on in the Browser Settings.

Very nice. I'm jealous. The Verizon version only has Chrome, no stock browser.

Verizon and their stuff....

I love Chrome but sometimes I just NEED to see websites that include Flash content and its awesome to have the option to see them if needed.

If you're on Verizon you can still get the AOSP Browser and add Flash. I just did it, but I'm rooted and I don't know if it would work on non-rooted phones or not.

Install the [ROOT]AOSP Browser Installer from the Play Store. Ignore the warnings and have it install the AOSP Browser. Then go into your App maager and remove [ROOT]AOSP Browser Installer just to clean things up. You'll now have the stock browser that works fine.

Then just follow the instructions in the OP to install Flash. Works great.

On my Verzion G2 there is no LG browser... just Chrome (which won't use Flash). Other versions of the G2 use the AOSP browser. You can have multiple browsers on the same device... no problem.

Does Capture Plus work with this browser?

Also, I've been using Dolphin Browser and it seems to support all my flash needs as well give it a try.

Does International version support flash?

Another workaround (Works on Verizon)

I also have got this to work with Dolphin Browser on my LG G2 Verizon flavor.

Doet the aosp browser from the play store have the PIE controls you can swipe in from the left? I hate having that adressbar popping up when I scroll up.
I tried the aosp installer last week, but didnt get it to work. Also tried some other ways of pushing it, but then broke the default browser in the progress. Dont want to reflash my rom again, but if it can get me the PIE controls I will keep trying it.

I've got the international version and the browser seems to have lots of bugs. Double tapping a column of text doesn't always resize it or align it with the screen properly, after a week my bookmarks disappeared and refused to come back so I had to do a factory reset, now the top and bottom bars no longer auto hide. I like the browser because it has extra features not found in Chrome but it feels like a beta product. I'm going to give dolphin and firefox a go.

Hi there... I have a new D800 and am trying to get flash installed by following the above tips. Even though I've tried several times, it's not happening. Could someone please tell me which flash version in the archived list you were able to get working using the default browser, unrooted, on the AT&T G2?

Thanks.... I am very hard of hearing and need to be able to watch the ASL videos online.

Thank you !!

Thanks

Awesome. I had assumed that the stock player would have flash plugin installed, and when I tried to open a site with flash, was surprised to find that it couldn't handle it. Now I am able to. Thanks for the info.

AWESOME! Just wish I had seen this over the weekend when I was trying to watch college football on CBS while on my way to my outlaws! I couldn't get flash to work on anything.

I'm on Verizon and I just installed the Flash for Android 4.0 and this browser:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.android.browser

and Dolphin and both work just fine with Flash sites and the G2 has enough power to actually handle it. I have a feeling it would destroy battery life if used too much but for times when you need it, it's great to know it works, for now.

Not sure how many of you are Sprint users; but there was a software update released for the Sprint G2 last week that apparently (at least for my slightly disgusted experience) has REMOVED the flash capability from the built-in browser. Can anyone confirm?

Stock Browser KitKat

Verizon KitKat is missing stock browser, of course. Tried using the stock LG Browser from JellyBean, but it FC's. Does any variant have LG Browser on KitKat? If so, could someone please post the APK + ODEX files?
