[Fix] Hulu working + Flash.apk (Plus HBO!!!)

Been using this on my Nexus One for a while and gave it a shot on my HD2.
Hulu works from the browser but its better if you download the hulu bookmark app from the market
This app launches the Hulu.com sidebar page in a browser window. It will prevent your phone from sleeping and locking while the app is running.

This is a modified flash apk file that enables you to watch hulu on your rooted, froyo-running android device. It is my project to return to the community. Please only use this fix if you know what you are doing, as I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Instructions:
1.) UNINSTALL FLASH
2.) Download the .apk
3.) adb install flash-fixed-nexus.apk (or your preferred method of installing the .apk)
4.) apply the ABOUT: DEBUG fix if you haven't already (both fixes are required) (Alternative option provided below)
5.) watch hulu!
Get the fixed .apk (Attachments)
Current Problems:
Audio is not in sync
Changelog:
August 26- Updated to Version 10.1.92.8
June 17- Updated to Version 10.1.72.7
June 09- Updated to Version 10.1.72.4

Real HBO + more = Free
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=766151
http://www.shadownet.info/channels/usa/hbo.html
You can also Google shadow.net and get the whole list of channels that are free and work with flash. I recommend that you download tv listings from the market and put in a east coast area code because almost all the American channels are on eastern time. I use 10001 and get the listings for time warner in southern Manhattan uncheck all then select the channels you want. this is the real deal HBO so you can watch boxing and NFL programs (documentaries).

I can confirm that this does work as stated in op's first post.
Works rather well also.

hi,
hulu is only available in the US, right? or is there a way around it for us here in Europe?

sweeeeeeeet

I can't seem to get flash out of my system. Posting back if I do
.
Edit: I uninstalled flash and installed this l. But websites don't seem to work with this plug in at all. July says 10.0.32 required

Nice job
Just tested on Motorola Droid 1 overclocked from 250/800 the flash posted here plays audio like its being played in Slow mode. But the other flash fix the ones that's 3mb works great! Audio is clear and picture is nice only problem is that the video is choppy. Probably due to hulu player, flash, memory or cpu speed. Video on megavideo works and looks great. So I just think its the hulu player it self its having problems with. It maybe hulu player uses more memory or needs a better graphic card or processor to played? Idk I'll use this till hulu is done with hulu plus app for android. But if I could get this running flawlessly on droid that will save me 7 bucks a month which would be great. Keep up the Good work

Update : Just change kernel on cm running CPU at 350/1000 with no reboots and video runs flawlessly. Awesome!!! Awesome!!! Awesome!!! Good job man audio is in sync its perfect just needed Alil more power and bam! . Uses about 60 MB out of the 100 I had available starting off so pretty good only thing is if I run out of memory the flash cuts off and I have to restart any ideas?

wow, must give that a try.....
many thanks..!

thats really excellent, no more ball ache changing app icons

It works! This is exactly what I needed to do with a few widgets from some apps (their icons and label) but didn't have all that much time. Simply changed some widget icons/labels inside an apk, installed the apk and it works. Well done and thank you!
I install the apk by manually pushing it to the SD card though. The built-in barcode functionality doesn't work as expected. My phone browser can't open the generated link.

Cool, tnx for trying and replying.
Whaha, that rhymes! Sweet
Happy to hear it served you when needed
For now its barcode function will only work correctly if your phone is on the same network as your computer (so with wifi enabled.)
Maybe that's the limitation you encountered?
Thinking of ways to bypass this limitation, but have to keep in mind some security related aspects.

I was using the same WiFi network on the laptop and the phone. I think you mean I have to be tethering using the laptop network over USB for it to work. That would work

Hmm, should work without usb.
That was one of my design goals.
Yesterday had some similar problems trying to change system apk's.
Not sure yet, but the browser didn't accept the connection either.
Some technical background:
In the background it's nothing more than a temporary striped down C# webserserver hosting the apk file until it has been downloaded. So purely http here

Since the server runs on the local host without a client service/app or permission to the client, I don't think you can do that. I could be wrong but that's like Simple File Sharing in Windows (which I have disabled). Your network subnet access and those ports would be required to be open. I think the option would work if you had a client side app/service (for the phone) but then that would be like adbWireless
The adbWireless option runs fine with your app though. I actually just pushed in some Android files using it, no problem

True, your firewall needs to accept incoming connections to the program.
Problably vendor specific, but my build-in windows firewall asked me the first time I run the app if I would like to add it to its exeption list.
Be aware: the server will choose a random port every time it runs.
The client you are talking about would be the browser on your phone, It should automatically be activated when you scan your barcode (all free barcode scanners I know of have this capability in them).

Yep, the browser does open but doesn't recognize the link (no access basically). The generated link itself is valid because I can download it if I use the computers net connection over USB.

[Q] Clone 2 Transformer Devices

I bought my 1st TF101 a few months ago. I just bought a second one reciently for my kids (they were using a G-Tablet). Anyway, I dont want to administrate 2 devices. What ideas are out there to clone 2 devices and keep them in sync?? I have used TiBackup, but it requires that the device be rooted. Asus has done a good job of updating, so I dont want to root and loose auto updates (if I understand the effect of rooting the Asus TF101, I will loose the online update ability and for ever on be required to manually download firmware & sw updates). I have done this to other devices and installed new roms, but I now own 2 asus transformers so I whont have to do this. I have other tablets to play on.
Thanks in advance

If you put revolver on them that has over the air updates plus then you can have root with updates and keep them in perfect sinc with cwm backups and ti backups
Or just manually back them up often and set perental control on the other tf so the kids dont mess with the software to much?

Nandroid backups/restore?
On phones, I use Go Launcher for my wife. I have CM7 on her phone which comes with Superuser, busybox, and a bunch of crap she shouldn't be snooping in. So Go Launcher looks nice plug gives the ability to hide apps.
MIUI on my G2x has a security app which lets me pick specific apps to require a security pattern. I typically do this for my games so my little 5 year old doesn't get in there and erase or screw up my games. I also do this for Gallery so people can't snoop through my pics.
We don't have MIUI for our Transformers, but I'm sure there are other security apps as such. The option is in Settings under "Access Control", which requires a password to open, then you can add apps to the list.

That you! I'll look into revolver.
1) Is cwm backup simply an option when I boot into the good old cwm?
2) Is there a good thread you can point me to about revolver and TF101?
3) Can you tell me quickly the pros and cons of these 2 choices
a) Install Revolver and root
I really want to root, but am scared that I'll become unstable. ALso Would you say Revolver is as stable as Base Asus?
or b) Simply root the asus base?

Uh... Restoring nandroid backups of one tablet on the other would most likely result in some identification issues with Android market. It'll either see two TF as one device or fail to list one of them entirely on the market. The only thing I can think of is having TitaniumBackup and having it upload to Dropbox for backups. Even then it is still nearly impossible to have the two in sync.

when i got my transformer after signing in with the Google account linked to my cellphone, my transformer automatically started downloading all the apps that were currently installed on my phone. i barely had to do anything other than setup my email and arrange my icons around..
google does a good job on its own with the built in backup/restore features.

Google is pretty good with the re'installtion of apps you have bought but I have found not so good with free ones and or the data that goes with them.
If you want to try it with TI backup all you have to do is root with the below method and then unroot before upgrading to new version. Then re-root again, All your root apps will still be there ready to request SU permission again when you run them.
Actually very easy and quick if you use the boot CD method, I know thats how I keep root and keep updated. Nothing wrong as I see it with a custom rom but just not what I want to do at this time The choices are yours to make and just putting this option out there.
I agree with the poster that said it will be less than perfect and you might have to move the TI backups from one unit to the other. I haven't had much luck with the cloud option>version of TI back-up working at all. Maybe yours will be better.

Android Wear for Ticwatch 2 possible?

Heya!
So as the title states, is/will it be possible to port Android Wear (maybe even Wear 2) over to the Ticwatch 2? Since the watch runs Ticwear OS which is based on Android we should have all the blobs/drivers available to run the same Android Wear version on the watch itself or am I wrong here?
Thanks already!

Hi all, I got my Ticwatch 2 today and I'm also interested in the possibilities. Anyone?

My Onyx just arrived. Check Kickstarter updates, they have a query page where you can enter your email and it spits out your DHL tracking number.
Furthermore, I'd absolutely love to turn this gorgeous, well crafted piece of hardware into a fully fledged Android Wear device.

Hope someone can!

Oops, I did not read closely, just saw the Ticwatch and knew there was a thread. More coffee needed!

I would kill for a new android ROM to flash on this thing. I was hoping there'd be more chatter on this forum, but I guess it's to be expected considering it's just now ending up in people's hands.
If it allowed for the creation of an Android Wear-compatible Ticwatch 2, I'd lend my current one out to a respected developer here on XDA.

I have an onyx. I really love this watch but android wear would be more powerful -> native language, more apps etc.
Please! Make it happen

It would be great.
I would help as far as i can

Well, we have a chinese only Android Wear ROM so we'd have the drivers for the hardware possibly, but how easy will it be to port a normal Android Wear ROM over to it with those if even possible?

Well, my idea is porting the Framework and Launcher from wear to normal Android. Ok, my purpose is for a Phone ( Fun Recycling Project) but thats just Hardware difference

Activate developer mode to sync wear apps
Here's what an avid user from the FB Ticwatch 2 group found out: In the ticwear app, tap on the ticwear app's version number to activate developer mode. In "advanced settings" activate the "1024" option and then sync the apps. This also causes all wear apps to sync to the watch. Note that any apps that require a connection to the phone to sync data will not work properly. An example of a working app is Task Manager For Android Wear. Let's see what else we can discover!

This is a good hint. I activate it and now i have all my android-wear supported apps in my watch drawer. But they are not working. Eg. google maps:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

I think it is just the "connection" part missing.
Because apps that dont need to be directly connected to the phone work well. like games
