Newest version in the market was released. Anyone able to hex edit this one so that it's compatible with Hulu, etc? Thanks in advance!
I could use some of that hacked flash too!
Ya looking for this as well.....

UPDATE: Oops, forgot to mention, it works!
So after we get the hacked flashplayer, what else do we need to do. Hulu keeps complaining about cell phone.

Works prefectly, thanks
Can this be done without a root?
And if so can I get newb friendly instructions?

Change your user agent to desktop. Cyanogen and other custom ROMs have this built in, but you can use third party browsers to do it too.

I would use the Hulu.apk as it runs much smoother than playing a video via the browser. I'm sure it's on these forums if you search or you can rip it out of SkyRaider.
If you want to go the browser route, type the following into your URL (without the quotes), "about:debug"
Hit enter (nothing will happen)
Go to menu and scroll all the way down to UA string. Change to desktop. Hulu should now work.

No, you can't replace files in the /system partition without root privledges.
does anyone have this in an apk instead of just the so file. I tried to adb push it in sdk tools and it still doesn't work.
EDIT: OK I think I must have pushed it to the wrong folder because I tried again and now it is working for me.

Title states my question, but I would like to know if there is anything similar and if not...would anyone welcome it and and features that would be nice to have like being able to chat with other IMs for example

just wait..if this is like trillians desktop client...we are in for a big treat. I love trillian!
I've never used BBM but I've been told Google Talk is similar and I think there's a Talk app for most smartphones, so you could give it a try until Trillian comes out.
Here's the IM application. Though I think you need r/w access to install it. I tried to push it and it failed.

whoops, I got it pushed. Now i need to find some friends.
I might be misunderstood, I am not necessarily asking for an app similar to it to actually personally use. I was wanting to try and make one better than the rest...and responsive like BBM, but if these others are awesome then i wont waste my time. Thanks for the help and feed back, i will definitely look into some of these and if i feel they arent good enough then i will make one then ;P
Edit: What info do you have on ImProvider...the site i found is chinese and doesnt have much info at all
ImProvider.apk is Google Talk, which is like BBM.
See here on how to install it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735625
Thanks for that information
palringo on the market.
Head over to Swype's site, register for the beta, and you should quickly receive an email (that you should open on your Android device) sending you to the beta download site. Once Swype is installed, you'll be led through setting it up and enabling it on your phone—if that doesn't work, press and hold on any input field, select "Input method," then choose Swype.Better act fast it might close soon !!!!

Actually, it was my fault, I guess. I have Droidwall installed to block a few apps from connecting to the net. I opened it to find the swype installer was blocked. I don't know how because, you have to open droidwall, select the app and apply the rule to block it. I haven't opened droidwall in weeks, so I have no idea how it got blocked. Anyway, i have swype working. Am prepared to be wowed..

Make sure the User Agent of your browser is Android instead of Desktop.
For those of you following along with the thread in the development forum, I'm not allowed to post in there yet but I've come across something of interest.
I took the resources.arsc file out of the framework-res-uastring.apk posted there and put it in the framework-res.apk that I pulled from my WiFi Xoom, and wouldn't you know, it worked!
I'm testing for stability now, but I can say that it's working for me so far. I've attached my modified framework-res.apk in case anyone wants to test along with me without going through the trouble of mashing files.
Nice, I was wondering if that would work. Just a word of caution though, since this resources.arsc comes from the US 3g Xoom it only has US-English and Spanish support.
Can someone test this and verify it works?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Works. Don't forget to reboot after applyng. I will post back if I notice any side effects but so far no problems.

Does it have any other benefits other than the user agent?

Is this for the wifi version, would it work on 3g? And do I need root?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I tried it and caused multiple FC's on me as soon as it rebooted.
I however did the samething you did and pulled my framework-res.apk, added the resources.asrc file to it and then pushed it and all was good. Thanks for the idea!
Thanks for that Codespeare. I have posted a version for the Canadian WIFI Xoom ONLY under the Dev section OT.

pulled my framework-res.apk & added the resources.asrc file. works great. thanks Codespear!!!
I did it too, worked. EXCELLENT!
Will try now, thank you so much, I love you really I do.
EDIT: works... but at what cost? I have noticed the keyboard has been acting up, sort of how like the Gingerbread keyboard screws up from time to time, I don't think it's it me, but sometimes when I type something like backck it does that! Back back back backck, I have never noticed this before hand.... I am typing this out on my Xoom right now just to let you know. I hope this wasn't the fix. Still the keyboard works okay but that annoying bug that Gingerbread gets is present... pretty weird. Hope for a fix if this is really the UA string fix. Thanks anyways, it works great!

You can now load up a website in full desktop mode by default. If you don't have this all websites will load into their mobile versions, because it detects it is Android and makes it suitable for the screen. Since Android works on tablet PCs now, this should be an interchangable option, however I don't think Google thought of this when they were making the browser.

Because it changes back by default on the Android web browser. Also this is for the wifi only Xoom, there is another version specifically for the 3g Xoom.

There's a thread in the dev forum specifically for the 3G. I tried what I did as sort of a last resort for the wifi version.
I have the (unofficial) Netflix app for Android here, I heard that the servers have been opened now so it should theoretically work; I am going to test it and report back.
(Attached below)
*Edit: I have tested this app and it runs however when trying to stream a movie it will display a message along the lines of "your device is not supported"
No go
I'm getting a force close upon login using this apk. Anyone else having better luck?

Did that too and still get the force closed upon signing in... are you on stock(besides rooted)...
I got the "device not supported" message, but was able to get a login screen after waiting a few seconds. I logged in, but can't stream.
maybe we can edit one of the lib files inside the apk? much like was done on the Adobe Flash Player lib file to enable hulu playback on our phones. I don't know how to do this, but an idea nonetheless.

im new to the android thing but would changing the fingerprint in build.prop file be enough to trick the app into thinking the phone is supported?
havent tried it myself yet..
They got it to work on nook color by just editing the build.prop
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
And then rebooting.
Has anyone else tried this?

I also tried "T-Mobile G2" and that failed as well
any other strings we can try for other devices are supported at the moment?

2. HTC Nexus One with Android 2.2, 2.3
3. HTC Evo 4G with Android 2.2
4. HTC G2 with Android 2.2
5. Samsung Nexus S with Android 2.3
(I don't think any of the above have similar enough hw to the tegra board we have)
I did notice there is 5 .so files device{1-5}.so when you unzip the .apk file. I tried mucking with .js files to force the app into accepting a device string instead of polling the device but I'm failing at creating a workable apk file.
I used apktool and auto-sign but when I install my modified apk (even if it's just repacked) it fails to run...i'll leave that for another day; i've got much to learn in the android world....

If anyone is having issues where installer says disable swype and you do, but its not seeing it....use root explorer and just delete swype apk and it will all work.
