[Q] Hulu on epic with froyo? - Epic 4G General

Anyway we can get hulu working with the froyo build?
i searched the other forums and found a modded flash.apk for nexus one that allows them to use for hulu, but i installed it and followed the about:debug instructions and the browser does not detect that flash player for some reason.
the thread from which i got the working apk and instructions is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688054
i also tried the evo hex edited flash player, i think the two might be the exact same, but that one has same prob as well.

Didnt Hulu block out mobile phones for now? There will be a Hulu app coming soon for $9.99.

Well, yea. The point I think the OP is trying to make is that it would be cool to bypass their blocking and get Hulu for free like it should be instead of paying 10 dollars a month and still have video riddled with ads.

Its actually a hex-edited flash.apk. I've tried everything I could to get it to install on the Epic with 2.2. Couldn't get it to install. This is due to 1 of 2 problems:
1) Flash Player for the Evo is device specific (one of the errors hinted to this)
2) Can't entirely remove previous Flash Player
Solution:
We Hex-edit our own Flash Player to get it to work. This is beyond my expertise. If someone wants to give it a try, we need it to be hex-edited so that websites think we are using flash for windows.

Having trouble with this still... seems like there is a problem with the remount script for this ROM. Doesn't seem to properly remount /system/. I can't seem to make edits.

Hulu on the epic. I got it figured out for the most part. One file needs to be reapplied after every reboot, but it is working solidly. Below is the thread link I started.

Probably the security flaw fix they were talking about.
is this the one that has been on the market for the last two weeks or is it a update. I avoided the last one due to slow downs but want to see if this fixes it.
Nice catch - thanks!
does hulu work on it?
One thing that I notice was that Dolphin needed to updated. Now the flash loads on the pages automatically with out me pressing the button to load them. I know I could have set this up when installing or even the settings for Dolphin. Besides that, its running very smoothly. It seem to of fix a lag issue if anybody else has had that problem

Hulu will probably never work out of the box. It's up to hulu to support/license/whatever mobile viewing; and with hulu plus, it will probably never happen for free.
I'm not seeing the update :-\ Anyone else not seeing it?

i don't really visit hulu but why doesn't it work? Just use opera mini or skyfire or something of the sort. If not change the useragent to display firefox in webkit. This way the desktop version of the site loads and it should work. But then again idk anything about hulu and why it doesnt work.
I downloaded it today. Here's the apk to push through adb.

Neither of those work. Hulu doesn't allow mobile viewing and will check thoroughly either via the browser of through the version of the flash plugin you use.
I got it! It updates the current flash but doesn't show up as an update in the market.
Hmm. I wonder if we need Player V 10.1.95.1?
Adobe says the security vulnerability-in Android-is limited to v 10.1.92.10.
My EVO currently has V 10.1.72.7 (probably since the HTC/Sprint Froyo/Android 2.2 update). Apparently 10.1.72.7 doesn't have the vulnerability.
And idk the dif between 10.1.72.7 and 10.1.92.10 (or 10.1.95.1). Hate to fix what isn't broken (especially if i can't get the old one back).

I would say to just keep the one you have already. I didn't see any additional functionality from this new update atleast from my use. The file is way too big for something we already have that only takes 52.00kb. I also notice it slows down the page load times with fresh 3.2.0.0. Uninstalled...
Hulu is nothing special...

I would LOVE to have this working on our Xooms!
Yeah! That will be pretty neat. I'm not a dev, but truly believe that this apk isn't just sighned for xoom, and that results in "app not installed" message
I tried to install it too, didnt work ;-(
There has to be something within the files that only allow it to work on the Thunderbolt. I opened the apk and searched through the files, but did not see any type of device ID or anything that read "thunderbolt" or HTC. I remember when I used to make BlackBerry hybrids, there were "device IDs" that could be modified. I am uncertain about Android.
I am going to try and install it on other model phones running Froyo and see what I can figure out.
The only other thing I could think is that it is just not written to be compatable with honeycomb as most apps arent.
It won't install on my Evo either

Yes, at least I'm check it, but it doesn't help
Tried installing that APK on Nexus 1, Galaxy S and Xoom, none of them work. There seems to be a lot of buzz about this but not too much info beyond that.
Skype really needs to release a Honeycomb video chat client. With so many HC tablets in the works, it would really be a killer app.
However, I think I can understand Skype's hesitation. Can you fellas imagine the massive amounts of traffic that would hit Skype's datacenters?
I just tried G-Chat Video chat, and it works amazingly well if you guys haven't tried it. At least as a temporary alternative.
Why don't google hurry up and update talk with video like when using gmail you can video chat?

Google's video-chat already works on the Xoom.
Is that a tablet only thing as it's missing from galaxy s?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Google talk video was released only for Honeycomb.
It cross platform Google solution because it works with PC and mac running Google talk.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing for Froyo.
Is there a way to use Google Talk for calls with Skype users?
FYI this program works on XOOM and available for Android and iOs system.

Rom integrated ad blocking...

Im running chris41g(?)s modded stock, and I was wondering if there was a way that I could integrate the awesome adblocking of the big roms myself... messing with i GUESS putting together my own rom, and this is the one thing of all I am missing the most. I guess I am getting old, just want a simple rom theme-wise, but love the tweaks... anyone wanna help? Trade secret? If its something relatively simple like using 7zip and changing a value, or something to adb push, I can do it... just dont know what method you use, and would love to be able to just do it myself. Gonna hit up chris to throw it in his rom, but id like to do it myself too... any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
You could include adfree app in the system/app location of the ROM. OR, you can use K0nane's method (which I am even unsure how it works.) ha

Im surprised a launch 360 made it that long.. that was one tough xbox. Yeah i have an OG 60 gig (now 320 7200rpm) PS3, from right after the blu drives got fixed... people say I should expect the ylod soon, but Im insane about my gear, most of it is in a server rack. I really need to get back into fallout vegas though, if they made a fallout mmorpg that played like the real game, I would never leave the house.
Anyways, thanks for the time on the adblocking... will try soon...
I put a zip to include adblocking in the op of my rom... its better than adfee because it doesn't block words with friends lol

Can someone post the Netflix APK

Wow....the advertisements on this page are about Netflix...google is taunting me..

I tried downloading the apk and it basically says Netflix does not support this device. Nice. No Atrix support.
I'm hoping that can be rectified. Doubt it will be by Motorola.

Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
What if someone spoofs the build.prop line that identifies the device? I hear people with custom roms can't run the app because it shows something other than default, so it sounds like the app is based off of that... but I have no clue if that can be changed on the Atrix at this point. If it's possible though, it would just take a minute to change it to read Nexus S or something.
EDIT: I just tried http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/ha5oh/root_how_to_edit_your_buildprop_to_make_netflix/ but still got the device unsupported message error. I probably did something wrong, so someone else is free to try.
Netflix Fix for Atrix
Sorry for the mispost...
I played with the apk all day and build.prop settings. I couldn't get it to work at all.
I could get it to load, error message, but still could sign in and manage my queue and whatnot, but when I hit play, the error came back up again.
messing with the build.prop, the app just flat out wouldn't load.
Oh, and swype stopped working at one point because of the edits, so I just put it back to stock and carry both my Evo and Atrix

Something I thought of afterwards was that it may look for other lines in the build.prop. There's a line in the Atrix's build.prop saying that the processor is a Tegra, did you try changing that line? If I remember right all (or nearly all) the Netflix supported phones run off a Qualcomm chip after all.
They got it working on the g2x (Tegra 2) by editing the build.prop also. Dang what is it about the atrix that is causing it not to load?
Are you on a custom rom?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I guess they said they are working on it still because of the drm they use and that android doesn't have a unified method to decrypt it for play back, so I guss they have to make it work in each device one at a time that sucks.
Sound right?
ya but this build prop edit has allowed it to work on phones that were not on the 'officially supported' list
I tried to copy any relavant info from my evo's build.prop (it's cyanogen7) that I could think of. I saw the processor type field on the atrix, but there wasn't one on the evo. There were quite a few fields that are extra on the atrix.
But again, swype stopped working because it thought my phone was some other phone...not worth it. I'll look into more detail of why the evo works

HULU for TF101 and Prime

HULU just announced that they now support both the TF101 and the prime. So you can now download the the App directly from Google Play. The Interface is much improved over the converted Xoom version we were lucky to have
Was excited until I installed it and got the message:
Required DRM not supported [93]
Your device does not seem to have support for the required DRM engine.
Please check that you have all the latest updates applied to your device and try again.
I am on AOKP 1.5 (haven't upgraded to 1.6 or 1.7 as it is so stable now).
Edited to fix typo
Trouble with new HULU App
Going back to the modified Xoom apk?
Never worked right for me (previously on Krakd 1.5.2), wouldn't show the list, just a big white area where the shows should be.
I am wondering if it is detecting root and not allowing it. Might have to see if any other tablets are having the same issue (the ones that were added today) and if anyone has resolved it.
Possible that AOKP isn't including that portion due to its very nature.
Read on another thread that it works on rooted stock. Hopefully one of our awesome developers can hack the app like the last one, or find the necessary libs from the stock ROM.
On EOS nightly-14, DRM not supported.. although the set up looks very nice, and just browsing around seems very smooth!

I think the DRM issue has to deal with the adblock that is put in place by the ROM makers. I just switched from Revolver to AOKP and Hulu now no longer works. With Revolver's Spare Parts you can disable adblock. When it was enabled Hulu didn't work, when it was disabled...it did...Now that I am on AOKP adblock comes standard and there is no way to disable it in the settings. While I know enough to follow directions with scripting I don't know how to go about disabling adblock via script on my own, or if it is even possible. I pour over these forums all the time, but never had an opportunity to post anything since all of my would be posts would take place in the developer section. And since there is a 10 post minimum to post there I just continue reading until I find my answer. This situation is to new to have found a workaround for, and I thought I would come out of my shell and post about it. Any help or research into this subject would be fantastically appreciated and I look forward to posting on here time and time again!

I don't think the Ad Block is the primary issue. Revolver is based on the Asus firmware, right? The roms having problems are AOSP based. I'm running Team EOS at the moment (no ad blocking) and I still can't view in the Plus app. I think it has to do with missing libraries that the "supported" tablets have. Hopefully all it takes is someone more knowledgeable than I to pull them out (this is how we can get Polaris to work on AOSP roms).
Now if you go ahead and block ads, this will prevent viewing as well. Just as it does with the cracked version of Hulu Plus (old app).

Heya. Disabling most ad blocks are quite easy. Just open up a terminal using a Terminal Emulator and run the following commands:
su
rm /etc/hosts
echo "127.0.0.1 localhost" >> /etc/hosts
exit
exit
You have to reboot your tablet after doing this (to flush the DNS cache), but ads will be enabled then. If you want to re-enable adblock, I suggest grabbing AdAway from the Google Play Store, which will make enabling/disabling ads easier in the future.

Yeah I think you are correct, I thought about that after I posted it. That makes more sense than just adblocking.
Does anyone know where this required DRM stuff sits? Is it married into Adobe Flash, and we're missing a certain Flash version?
