Flash Lives!

Adobe Flash - 4.1 Jelly Bean - xda-developers. There are millions of Flash animations on the Internet, some of which you actually might be interested in viewing. In the early days, a big advantage of android was that you could view Flash, and you couldn't on an iPhone. However, as the world moves to HTML5 as a video standard, Adobe has decided not to support Flash on Android devices, and newer Android phones and OSes can't use the official Google Play store to download them. However, if you bypass the external sources block, you can download and install it anyway. Make sure you have Lookout Mobile Security installed, and scan any apk file you get from the Web. However, XDA Developers has a link to Flash 11.1 and I am now able to view all the videos that weren't fit for HTML5. One kink in this rope is that Chrome won't run Flash, so you have to install another browser for viewing flash files. Once you do that, you are good to go. Rock on, Android.
