Hi guys,

I rooted my device today and installed some things like AdFree and ES File Explorer (with root file explorer option).

Then I wanted to test how good our Nexus 10 works with Adobe Flash.

Here is your path to get full flash support with your Nexus 10:

1. You have to unlock your bootloader and root your device afterwards like described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1987594 and here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1996900 or install a prerooted ROM from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1997699 (keep in mind, that the newest version of CWM Recovery is 6.0.1.6)
2. You have to download the AOSP browser for Nexus 7 JB from here and follow the renaming steps: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1780746&highlight=browser+apk
3. You have to install the Flash Player given in this post, or similar sources.
4. Enjoy your beautifully fast and sharp flash experience on your Nexus 10 :laugh:

I am not responsible for any bricked devices if you fail at some stage! My Nexus 10 runs perfect with flash now

It even plays Youtube Videos in 1080p. No 4K resolution supported sadly...

On my nexus 10 I have tried to put the apk into the system app folder using root explorer but it is not working. I renamed all the files that were already in the apps folder and when I reboot the browser.apk I put in there dissapears and is nowhere to be found. Its like the system app folder resets on reboot. Also, I found that root explorer would also sometimes not mouth the folder as r/w after pasting it in there. I have restored and flashed to stock, re rooted and tryed again with no success. Am I missing something?

Did you set the permissions of browser.apk to rw- r-- r--? I can't reconstruct your problem here. I restarted several times after the modification and the aosp browser is still there and runs perfect.

I have Flash working on Dolphin and Skyfire by just installing the Flash Player but I would also like Flash working on Opera Mobile if anyone has found a way of doing that on the N10.

Yes, it seems that on reboot everything in the system app folder is restored to how it was before. I have restore stock image and rerooted again and only installed root explorer and still. It is the same. Any one any ideas?

For other noobs like me, you'll need to search XDA for the FLASH.APK to install as well...it's not on the PLAY store any longer.

You can also try this method after you've rooted...

FLASHEX 2.05: (Root Required)
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1569816

I've used this method on every tablet I've owned (Prime, Infinity, Note10.1, Galaxy tab10.1) and will be applying this method on my N10 so I can watch my Hulu through the browser.
This method works on all browsers from my experience with it. You will need to be rooted though.

If anyone is having a problem where the browser crashes when you try to full screen flash video, you can stop this from happening by going into the address bar, typing "about:debug" then going into settings>debug and selecting UAString and then selecting iPad. No idea why it works, but it does.
