Anyone able to get Flash video working with ICS ? I have downloaded the latest version of Flash from the market. Flash ads appear to work but video just shows a blank screen - seems to still be downloading in the background however.

This just might force me to go back to GB.

Did you do a complete wipe or anything, or just an upgrade from GB. Wondering if I do a factory reset now, would it take me back to GB or ICS ?

Complete wipe.

A factory reset only wipes your data partition. It does not revert you back to a previous build or anything like that.

Flash player does not work because it's not optimized for the Razr ICS.

Damn...did a data wipe in the hopes of getting Flash to work. No such luck. A few sites seem to work, but the majority of them cause the browser to lockup.

Here's an article I found...

Somewhere, Steve Jobs is smiling.

In a move first reported by ZDNet, Adobe has told developers that it no longer plans to develop future versions of its Flash Player for mobile browsers.

It's a huge shift for the Web as a whole, which has used liberally the Adobe standard for video and Web design.

Jobs, Apple's longtime CEO who died last month after a battle with cancer, had long railed against Flash. Apple's mobile devices, including the iPhone and iPad, do not run Flash content.

Jobs' argument was that Flash was a processor- and battery-hogging standard that caused its devices to perform poorly.

Jobs had hoped for the proliferation of the HTML5 standard, which performs the same functions but can operate across platforms.

During Jobs' tenure, Apple stopped shipping the Adobe Flash Player on its computers, a move the company said was to ensure that users always had the most recent version. Many saw it as a power play from Apple, though, who seemed to hope that Flash would become a dead standard.

John Nack, a principal product manager at Adobe, wrote on his Adobe-hosted blog that industry watchers shouldn't read too deeply into Adobe's move.

"Adobe saying that Flash on mobile isn't the best path forward (is not equal to) Adobe conceding that Flash on mobile (or elsewhere) is bad technology," he wrote. "Its quality is irrelevant if it's not allowed to run, and if it's not allowed to run, then Adobe will have to find different ways to meet customers' needs."

Adobe had also faced increased vulnerabilities in the Adobe Flash standard exposed by hackers.

II have the same problem in the ICS leak,
Once i install flash player i get a message in my notification bar saying "Flash not supported!
Adobe has discontinued support for their flash player on Android mobile devices this may result in problems with flash-based web sites accessed from your mobile browser"
flash works only in chrome beta though!

I'm confused...you're saying that Flash works in the Chrome beta ? I didn't think it was even supported in Chrome.

I installed Flash 11 and got a" Flash is no longer supported on mobile devices" message. However I went to websites that I know use Flash content and they worked... so, I guess everything is OK for now.
