Have my Titanium Backups of Flash incase I need to reset... might as well snag the APKs too. Not that I really need Flash that much but it is nice to have.

So, is Flash on its way out? Is Adobe shooting itself in the foot or what? I don't get the rationale.

Everything in the mobile space is moving towards HTML5.

As Rawvega stated, everything mobile is going to be HTML5. Adobe didn't have a choice. Android wants to use the chrome browser instead of the default browser, which doesn't support a flash plugin and both iOS and Windows Phone do not support flash. Their days were numbered. They just finally gave up trying to get apple and MS to support their mobile platform. Now Adobe can go back to business and stop throwing money at the mobile sector.

Mobile flash is overrated. I haven't had it on my phone since before February and I have had 1instance where I had a "missing flash" message. That site was worthless anyway. Nearly every website has abandoned flash, especially for content aimed at the mobile sector.

 

I would much rather have project butter, chrome browser and the rest of jelly bean than flash.

I wouldn't want to use it after they stop supporting it. It will probably be compromised soon afterwards.

Only reason I keep flash on my ICS devices is MLS Live for soccer streaming. I've been pounding MLS Digital for a year and a half for an MLS Live streaming app on Android.

Just in case anyone wants/needs a Flash apk, you can find the archives for both 2.x and 4.0 at this link (scroll down past the initial listing of 'Flash player archives'):

Welcome, that's something I bookmarked as soon as I saw it posted on XDA myself as well, glad someone else found it helpful!
