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?

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.

Works for outgoing not incoming
just incase anyone was woundering. MAXGO will not work on xoom either, which i dont think was a big shocker cause it was devl by the same people.
i removed device checker, and just like hbogo it FC when you try to login.
ahh man, you got my hopes up for a second there with that title... yeah no official maxgo, hbogo or netflix apps for the xoom.
maybe christmas...
Netflix works fine bruh...

Netflix works. Just pull it off your phone and side load it to your xoom. Works great! If u don't have android phone let me know if u need apk if u can't find it on here and il post the app

It seems strange that the best use case for these apps (Honeycomb tablets) seems to be the least developed... It seems especially strange that Netflix has the compatibility in place, but won't update the market's compatible apps so the app shows up when searching the market on a tablet.
Maxgo works well from the full site in flash. HBOGo however studders too much in flash to be usable. Like all here, I would appreciate a native app for Android supported on the Xoom. This continues to be a stick upon which Apple fanbois can use to continue beating upon us.
Ordered a kindle for 190$ free shipping off ebay, should be here by tomorrow or wensday
Just a few Questions...
1) Im aware google play isnt on the kindle fire. I KNOW you can install it and im planning on using the kindle fire utility. But I also heard of many people saying the apps say its not compatible?? Is this on basically all the games? Amazon apps store is good enough for me but I really enjoy Draw something on my android phone.
2) I know you can use launchers... so can I basically run ICS without having to flash anything? I know not actually ICS, but Will it actually work like a normal android tablet?
3) Is their any other cool things I can do with it?
Thanks for the answers
1. Yes, a lot of things don't work by default, but there is an easy work around for it to give you access to more.
2. If I understand this question correctly, yes. You will be able to install whatever launcher you want and configure it however you want and it can work like a normal Android Tablet.
3. Well ICS is actually working pretty well on the Kindle Fire if you get into flashing ROMS. Other than that there's plenty of games and emulators if you're into that.

Whats the easiest work around? I've been searching for a few hours and I want to get the most out of google play on my kindle fire without installing a bunch of stuff.. Its not that im lazy, but im a pretty casual user and wouldnt want to risk bricking anything.
Here's a link to a thread about it for CM7 and here's one for ICS. If you're staying rooted stock I'm not sure what you'll need to do.

hmm... So it will work with any ICS rom?
Thinking in to it installing ICS would be nice to use it like a normal tablet
Yeah, that's for any ICS. Hardware acceleration isn't working for ICS yet so some videos don't work, but other than that ICS runs great.

Does youtube/netflix work?
HD youtube doesn't, some videos do. Netfilx does not yet, but devs are hard at work on getting it working and will have HWA relatively soon, although it could still be a number of weeks.

Ouch, I use Netflix all the time but I guess its a trade off for now.. Same thing with flash?
Could Netlix work if it just didnt play in HD?
Same thing with flash, I would suggest just using a CM7 rom until HWA gets fixed then, Netflix and other videos are working for them.

I think I am running Skimp Killah, but I have been switching pretty consistently.
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!

Thanks for the heads up, I had totally given up. Works great, but mine is stock.
Hmmmmmmmmmm
I should have noted, that I'm presently NOT rooted. Lost it on the ICS update, and haven't touched anything waiting for the re-boot cure. HULU app works fantastic!

wow, must have been one of the lucky ones. running on rooted stock, and everything seems to be going well.
i've actually just started my hulu plus trial today. I'm trying to watch some naruto episodes (don't judge me) and the app doesn't seem to display any subtitiles (it's an anime, in japanese) ... is this just how the app works, or am i missing a setting?

Are we talking about regular Hulu or Hulu Plus? Hulu Plus has been supported all along IIRC. I've been waiting for support for a regular Hulu app.
Post the apk please.

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?

I spent an hour or two a month ago trying to find out why Netflix doesn't work. What other folks were saying in various non-Glacier threads is that Netflix support depends on a specific type of HD graphics hardware support in the kernel. None of the kernels we have for the Glacier currently provide that support. Hopefully that will change when (if) a 3.0 kernel is successfully ported.
Kernel experts please jump in at anytime...
wrong forum...
Thats NOT what he meant buddy. If you have ever been in this forum, you would note that question threads go in the QUESTION forum. People get pissed if you get messed up so consider this your ONLY warning because others probably won't be so "kind". Next time, ask your question in the right forum and i promise it will be properly answered.
I love this forum. Also, how did the OP think this was developement of any sorts?
