flash player working on 4.4 kitkat (instructions)

confirmed working on my nexus 4, 4.4 stock kitkat.

all you need to do is download the modified flash player installer from XDA, and use your favourite browser (i'm using dolphin and dolphin jetpack).

credit goes to user surviveland on XDA.

dolphin's faq was also updated with this info today https://dolphinbrowser.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/1365883

Working here with stock 4.4 and Dolphin, not working on Firefox.

Does it need jet pack to be installed?

Don't like the Dolphin browser
Doesn't work in Firefox or Firefox Beta

Just use MX Player to play your flash files. Dolphin is just for embedded flash. Don't follow....

Thanks for posting this works perfectly. Only thing is I can't get hulu to work in desktop mode, but it didn't work right with 4.3 either for me.

i tried that before, but it seems it can't open my swf files, on 4.3 i open those files by accessing the local files on firefox, and it's working. i don't know why any swf players (mx player, etc) can't open my files...

sorry for my bad english

That is an issue with your MX player install then. It worked just fine for me. Have you tried just firing up MX player and opening the file? If you dont see the file then go to settings, list, video folders. Also consider just a swf player app.

Well, nevermind that. i've found a workaround to play local swf on dolphin, thanks for your advice anyway...
and sorry for bothering you..

I've done this with the new dolphin, with jet pack built in but cannot stand dolphin as a browser . Using AOSP now

Does it work on 4.4.2?

 

[nigelhealy]

Does it work on 4.4.2?

I'm on 4.4.2 and yes. "works" in that it is a little buggy but that's not due to really to this hack, Flash on Android has been dodgy for a long time, sites crash etc, but its not 4.4.2 fault but that the version of flash is many versions behind, the most recent available on Android is 11.1.115.87 whilst the most recent 11.9.900.170.

Hulu isn't working as it checks the platform and decides to reject. I use BBC for HD and its very dodgy reliability, works best on my N10 and won't work on my N7 2012.

Does it work on 4.4.2?

Yes, but only with Dolphin.

 

[loonamark]

Yes, but only with Dolphin.

Not only dolphin browser but also Boat and default Android 4.0 browser supports. If you use Dolphin then you will have to download Dolphin Jetpack app as well from the Play Store.

You don't need to. Now it's inbuilt.

Mind sharing that with us? I've been looking for a way to do this
