Chrome beta is a version of chrome that includes experimental features Google is testing out before they get the features they are testing stable enough for public release in regular chrome for Android. For example, Google recently introduced experimental WebGL support for chrome for android this allows web developers to to put anything from 3d games to animation's on websites without needing to rely on the Adobe Flash Player plugin. The latest version of chrome beta includes these experimental features and more. You can download chrome beta from the play store here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta.

Same for me. Not sure what the issue is. I even tried it as a system app.

I tried it on my phone w/ V8. It's rooted, but not unlocked & it doesn't work either...it loads up, I do the 'allow' dance and when I go to search or sign in to sync, it just crash-closes.
Would be nice if they came closer to v25 of Chrome, we're still on v18...

Dont like beta

I'm using Chrome beta. Everything is fine. I'm on HTC One X with viperX installed

Dolphin Browser HD 8.5.1 APK (Supports Flash)

Since Dolphin Browser HD recently dropped support for Flash on all Jelly Bean devices, including the Nexus 7, people have been needing the old version of Dolphin Browser HD for use with Flash. Well, here you are.
APK Download: http://dl.apktops.com/app/201206/Dolphin_Browser_HD_8.5.1.apk
If you need Flash Player, check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771463
Thanks
Thanks OP, very kind of you!
*Edit - Although Flash seems to work fine, when trying to go full screen it crashes out immediately. Currently Firefox does not have this problem.
This is great. I miss the pinch to zoom and the more functional address bar though. Not a poblem.
Anyway to tell the Play Store not to update it?

As of right now, no. I guess that's the price to pay to have Flash working on it though.
Maybe if everyone keeps giving it 1 star for disabling Flash, Dolphin will get the message and add it back.

Thanked
Did this yesterday and it's been smoooooth sailing so far. I'm new to Android and this made things a ton easier. :good:
I wonder if there is a way to change the apk or program to make it think your are running ICS so it still enables flash, besides editing the build.prop. From the Google Play update log it sounds like its merely disabling flash on JB while still allowing it to work on ICS/GB, so the flash supporting part of Dolphin is still there, its just being disabled.
I've been using XScope Browser.
Seems like Flash support is a little bit better on that one, but I haven't tested it extensively. Amazon Instant Video can be played full-screen, which is nice. I tried that with Dolphin, but it kept crashing.

Flash isn't supported by Jelly Bean if that's what you're running. Check this out. This is a short article about it that also gives work around or two to help. There are also a tin of posts here on xda that talk about it. You can also use other browsers that will play flash. Hope it helps:

Dolphin has disabled flash support for several versions now. Boat still allows flash. It's the main reason I switched from Dolphin to Boat.

I can confirm using Adode 11.1 and using Firefox works, have to make sure you activate the plugin, can't remember how I did that though... haha
I think I went to the Flash settings and allowed it to use the plugin, I also have to do that when I try to play a video

Weird, I swear my Chrome browser is working with Flash just fine. I did, however uninstall this app because it was a nuisance.
I just upgraded from the old EVO 4g to the S3 and I just downloaded the flash for 4.0 from Adobe. Is there any certain way to install to get it to work properly and I am still using stock browser? I had my EVO for two years+ and I am enjoying the new S3! Thanks!

There is usually a setting for managing add-ons in the browser settings menu. Personally, I use Boat, which allows Flash "always-on" or "on-demand" settings.
Boat browser works great

Google Chrome beta!

Google have launched a new beta channel for Chrome Android, the new version is now 25.0.1354.8, it is available on the Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta
Just done a few tests, in Sunspider it is now as fast as ASOP browser, but scrolling can still be janky, compared to stock Jelly Bean browser, which is disappointing. Try using www.theverge.com, IMO ASOP is still smoother, I now this is beta, but seriously Google please do not release Chrome v25 and still be less smooth than stock browser.

Flash supported browsers. What are you using?

Hey gang. Just wondering which flash supported browser is everyone using.
I watch a lot of football (soccer) online but lately Dolphin (modded) and Boat browser have been freezing and crashing while trying to play flash video.
Any suggestions would be great!

Have you tried Dolphin Browser Beta? It supports Flash without having to make any modifications.

Actually NONE of the browsers fully support flash video in-frame on websites.
In other words, we can all play any flash video as long as it's not embedded in
a webpage.
There are a very few websites which are setup in such a way that allows any of the new
models of android phones to play/view flash videos which are imbedded in the webpages.
My S2 and S3 had no problem doing it............. I am sure sooner or later there will be
a mod, fix or an upgrade so it works properly all the time on any webpage.

Adobe Flash Player

Does anyone know if its possible to get adobe flash player working on this device? I know its not support for android anymore but I know other devices are still able to use it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It only works on a select few browsers, chrome not being one of them. I flashed clean rom the other day and it worked on the aosp browser. I believe there are other browsers in the play store it will also work with.
Works on Next Browser and Boat Browser. Two of my favorites.

It possible in Only Defult Browser
Works in Dolphin, I specifically have to have a browser with flash that works. I will add a caveat that flash is not 100% stable, ie sometimes going into fullscreen or coming out of fullscreen freezes/crashes. It usually works on the 2nd try though.
I have it working with Firefox, so far no issues.
