[How To] Fix Flash 10.3 on CyanogenMod 7

Ever since Flash was updated to 10.3, flash-based videos never seem to work on the stock browser in CM7 anymore. Here’s a fix for that. You would have to apply this fix whenever your reflash CM7. Either that or remain at flash 10.2. Google around for the flash 10.2 apk.

This procedure is fully based on the instructions found on a thread at XDA. Full credits go to the OP, onelikeseabass.

First you need to force close the browser. Go to Running Services and force stop it.

And you’re done! Flash videos should work properly on your stock browser now.

Do read the XDA thread for more information, like how to fix it for Dolphin Browser.
