installing flash player on android 4.3 (motorola moto g)
There are many websites that show you how to download and side load an archived version of flash player on to android 4.3.
I have just bought on of the new motorola moto g phones , and when I tried it I got 'There was a problem while parsing the package' when installing the flash player' I found a fix on the web for this buried deep in a forum chain so I cannot take credit for this fix (regrettably I cannot find article again so I cannot credit orginal poster). The fix was very simple - upload the apk file to the google cloud drive (may work with other cloud drives?). The moto g comes with 50 GB of free drive (2 years I think). Simply click on app from the cloud drive and it installs flash player. You have to find an alternative browser from the default Google Chrome which does not support flash. Dolphin, Boat, Puffin all work- don't know about Opera or Firefox. |

Hi,
Following shows a way of doing it with 4.4. I don't know if it works with all phones. http://www.phonearena.com/news/Here-...KitKat_id49851 I would be interested if this did work though ...... |

yeah i read about that.
it's more complicated because may of the android components used by flash have been removed, so the guy on xda has like fudged them in to flash itself. the guy that did it writes about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2548001 what i have found since removing flash is that more sites than i remember from a couple of years ago can detect it's absence and work around it. it hasn't been a problem. |

The XDA fudged Flash player worked on my Nexus 5 with Dolphin. In fact, with Dolphin Jetpack installed, I have not had Flash crash on me once so far, which is refreshing.

I've got Flash with my Dolphin Web browser.
This should also work on your phone I guess? |

I have a Nexus 7 and use Boat Browser.
I installed a Flash.apk about 6 months ago but this disapeared when I updated to 4.4. Just downloaded the flash.apk mentioned by oilman, installed and fired up Boat Browser and the videos on the BBC News site now work. Cheers. |
