How to install Adobe Flash Player on Android Devices?

Although Android Jelly Bean doesn’t officially support Flash, that doesn’t mean it won’t work. Here, we show you some simple tweaks to enable the playback of catch-up TV, online video and Flash games on a Google Nexus 10 or any other tablet running Android Jelly Bean.

In advance, you need to download a few free bits of software to enable Flash on your Jelly Bean tablet, including Flash Player itself. However, since this isn’t supported on your tablet, you’ll need to find it elsewhere than Google Play. Here is how to do it:

1) Download the file flash_player version 11.1.102.59.apk:http://d-h.st/o1I 
Download the file. Apk of Flash Player version 11.1-111115012:http://d-h.st/wPd
(26/08 )Download the file flash_player version 11.1.115.17 :http://d-h.st/7Ds
( 09/10/2012)Download the file flash_player version 11.1.115.20 :http://d-h.st/JXC
(NEW 12/03/2013)Download the file flash_player version 11.1.115.48:http://d-h.st/Ssu
WARNING: Users are advised that the flash player does not work with Chrome!
Dolphin Browser HD 8.5.1 APK (Supports Flash):http://d-h.st/3ZS
[GUIDE] Jellybean, Flash, and Dolphin Browser with pinch zoom working:http://forum.xda-developers.com/show….php?t=1846225
Dolphin_Engine_Beta.apk:http://d-h.st/8tq
(New)Dolphin-Browser 3.01.apk:http://d-h.st/FsH

2) Copy your files to the SD card of your Android device. (Be it tablet or smartphone, it makes no difference)
3) Install it using any File Manager.
4) Start the Browser
5) Go into the Browser settings and uncheck the option of Flash Player (on demand or always on at your discretion)
6) Finally you have the latest version of Flash also Android!
 
For details, you may read the thread at XDA Developers. Then, just follow the guide step by step to add flash to Android Jelly Bean.
 
Note. Before you can install Flash Player, you must enable Android to install software from unknown sources (remember to disable this option  following installation). Open the Settings menu, then scroll down to and tap Security. Tick the box next to ‘Unknown sources. Allow installation of apps from sources other than the Play Store.




Step 1. Now find your downloaded Flash Player file and tap it to begin installation. If your download notification has disappeared, you’ll need a free file browser app such as Android File Manager to find it (this won’t be visible in Android’s Downloads folder).



Step 2. Next, you need a browser that can support the Flash Player plug-in, such as Mozilla Firefox. Download Firefox Google Play, then fire up the browser. Tap the three horizontal lines at the top right of the browser window and choose Settings, and under Content choose Plugins. We recommend selecting the Enabled rather than ‘Tap to play’ option for a seamless Flash experience.





Step 3. At this point, you can interact with Flash content on any website within the Firefox browser on your tablet. You may find, however, that some websites will recognise that you’re using a mobile browser on a Jelly Bean device, and hide the Flash content from view. And with ITV Player, for example, we were offered playback in portrait mode only.

Phony is a free Firefox add-on that fools websites into thinking you’re using a desktop browser. You can access Firefox’s add-ons from its home screen, or choose Add-ons from the top-right menu and tap the shopping basket icon. Having installed Phony, tap the top-right menu icon and choose Phony, then select Desktop Firefox as your User Agent and tap Ok.




For the downloaded flash videos, you need a flash video converter to make them compatibled well with Android Jelly Bean devices.

Because with the phone you lost all your important files, emails, contacts and more.
