Flash on KitKat/GS5

didureboot · Apr 17, 2014

If anyone is interested and hasn't already discovered this on their own, Firefox has made flash work again. Just download and install the newest version of Firefox. Then go to http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk. download and install this version of flash and go to town. Some sites will recognize the mobile browser and disable flash, but switching to the desktop mode will bypass this

Has anyone tried it with Dolphin?
I was able to use Dolphin Browser and Flash on the Note 3 and S4.

Firefox works with the stock Flash downloaded from Adobe's site. Dolphin requires a hacked version of Flash.

That's the link I used as well, but it's gone now due to violating Google's Terms of Service.

Here's another one that's still available:

Ok. I will try dolphin in future. But Firefox is better for me..

Just tried this, Puffin and other Flash Browsers for S5, and was told that due to KitKat restrictions it was no longer possible for flash to be emulated on cloud and used on KitKat.

It works

Cannot confirm it working on VZW GS5.

of course theyll say that.. technically its not supported but theres always a way.. its working for others including myself.. i just sideload the last android flash apk n use dolphin n if for some reason it wont run i switch to desktop mode.. if its not working for you then youre doing something wrong. you cant confirm its not working on vzw s5 when clearly it is for others

I retract my previous post, after hunting down the .apk and installed it, I am now able to have Flash on Puffin(I own the full version). Thanks!

I was unable to get it to work in Firefox, was there something I needed to do once it was installed IN firefox to get it to work?

I checked request desktop site, and then in settings under display I switched plugins to enabled.

Now see, I tried that, and it wouldn't work. I installed it right, it works fine on Puffin, but for some reason Firefox hates me.
