Guidelines on Installing Flash Player for Android on Jelly Bean Devices

Jelly Bean devices such as Galaxy S3/4, Sony Xperia SP, HTC One, Sony Xperia Z, and Nexus 4 are enjoying a hot market in the recent years. Some users even rely on those Jelly Bean mobile phones or tablets as the main entertainment tool. But the bad news coming from Adobe frustrated many users soon afterwards. The news said that there would be no support for Flash in Android Jelly Bean, because the new streaming technology HTML5 doesn’t need Flash player to play videos, as Adobe claimed. Well, it may be far-fetched to say so since HTML5 is not matured enough to be used by all websites. The fact is that some websites are still using Flash instead of HTML5. Therefore, it is a tricky problem for the users who want to access contents on these websites.

As a matter of fact, we can get around the issue by installing Flash player for Android devices manually. Listed in the below is the full-fledged process for your easy reference.

Step 1. Download the Adobe Flash Player Supporting Browser.

Of all popular browsers, Mozilla Firefox and Dolphin Browser are the most stable ones capable of supporting Flash Player. Personally, I would recommend using the latter since it has got many important features. Notes: In order to install the external app smoothly, you can go to Dolphin Browser Settings and then click the Unknown sources to enable the installation.

Step 2. Download Adobe Flash Play 11.1APK

Now that you have downloaded the proper Flash Player supporting Browser, it is time to download the Adobe Flash Play 11.1 apk file which is not available on Google Play Store. You can download the APK on the XDA developers website. Notes: There is potential risk to your devices or personal information when installing the APK file. Please prepare yourself well for any consequences that may caused by the installation.

Step 3. Copy APK File to SD Card

After downloading the .apk file of Flash Player for Android, you need to copy it to your Android devices’ SD card.

Step 4. Install APK on Android Device

Open your device and create a new file manager. The, browse to the location where you save the APK file, select it and install it.

Step 5.Enable Flash Player on Browser.

The last thing you should do is to enable flash player on the browser you chose. You can click the browser’s setting to look for the option that activates Flash Player on your Jelly Bean device.

OK, everything has been done. Adobe Flash player for Android is now running on your Jelly Bean device. You can hang on any websites freely including the Flash-based ones. Last but not least, if you have got some Flash SWF video files on your computer and would like to play SWF on Samsung Galaxy S or other Jelly Bean devices, you need to break the format limitation by the third-party SWF Video Converter.
