I personally stopped at 4.1.2 as 4.2 and up do not support the video play back needed for Netflix. Look up finlessbob rom and see what he has done as he is the foremost developer working with this device.

Android discontinued the support of flash with android 4. (Concerned that flash is vulnerable to viruses and since apple never supported flash, they didn't want to get a reputation that android had more viruses). That being said, Android is flexible. At least on phones, you can sideload flash onto your phone, but then you need a browser (such as firefox) because chrome still won't support it. Android TVs are more locked down than phones. I'm not sure off the top of my head if you can sideload apps on a TV or if you can get firefox from the play store (maybe that could be side loaded as well).Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

The one I have is also running adobe flash 11.1 and I agree it is a good inexpensive tablet. I haven't had any troubles.

Yes, I recently upgraded to version 4.4.2. This is the second update since I purchased the phone. Nice thing was the phone told me that there is a new version of android available.

Flash is not available any more at Google Playstore for Andriod 4.0 & above. Check here for the tips getting Flash work on the tablet. http://marquispad.supportsync.com/articles/view/Downloading_and_Installing_Adobe_Flash_Player_20

No, Adobe Flash is an "android app" you can download from an android market. Like Aptoide market or sometimes on Google Play. I'm using the built in browser with Flash and it seems to work okay.

4.4.2 is most recent update, but I do not recommend KitKat on this device. The Dell support site is flooded with complaints. Jelly Bean worked well.

there are no adobe flash updates for the 5500. I called LG and the response said adobe is a plug in and they are supporting plug ins. As far as not needing it, you will need it if you intend to use the LG browser and try to view video. You view a flash website the webpage will just show you an Adobe symbol w/o video indicating you need a newer version to view the video.

When you go to Adobe.com, you want to download a version of Flash from the Archives for Android. The current version of Flash is not supported on mobile devices. Make sure you've gone into your tablet settings and enabled third party apps before starting.

There is no android support yet. I registered with the forum and from extensive discussion, it is on the way.

It's sort of the reverse...Adobe is no longer updating Flash for newer versions of android.

O just saw the first post not all there. Heres the rest.. I am also looking forward to "PicUntu" which will allow a linux android dual boot. With "linux PicUntu" the issues with flash support and the websites like cbs,hulu recognizing the pc as android, and thereby blocking the device, should no longer be an issue simce i would see picuntu, a version of Ubuntu, instead. But there is no timetable as to when it will be ready for the average customer. Another poster mentioned slatedroid for articles referring to picuntu. So i continue to wait.
