Hulu Plus is Working

Today's update must have added support. It didn't work previously on my N8000 so I'm guessing it didn't work on any Note. Apologies if this isn't news.

any news is better than no news...
but glad to hear its supported...thinking about getting hulu plus but the ads sucks

Ads suck and no rooted devices ... need modded apk

I installed this while unrooted and it worked. I then rooted and it still worked.
What's weird is that I can't use it on the same tablet running CM10.

It appears to work but actually streaming video does not. I have no ad blocking software installed and it stops after the ads in the begining.

It loads the ads, and nothing after that. Anyone can get it to work ?

Would you be kind enought to backup the hulu apk. and upload it. Cause i would really like to have it, but cant download from denmark.
tahnks

Has anyone found a fix for this? If so can you share it with us?

I forgot where I got this from, somewhere on XDA, This is an older modded version that works for me
This is pulled from a backup with rom toolbox
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rolau5j8by3bfaa/com.hulu.plus.apk
and this one I found on my computer, I am pretty sure that it it what I loaded onto my note a while ago, but can't remember
https://www.dropbox.com/s/mjve19cscw50tyq/Mod2com.hulu.plus-2.apk
So one of those should do the trick for you, and also, when all else fails, ask jeeves...

Believe the only way is through the browser by a hack flash player until Hulu update it for compatibility on our device.

Curious, I tried both of these, but they won't install. I get the screen to install, but nothing happens when I hit the "Install" button. The "Cancel" button works fine. BTW, I do have the "Unknown Sources" checked... I am not rooted, but that shouldn't matter? I'm wondering why I can't install an APK???

That is pretty odd, but not being rooted, you shouldn't have any issues with the unmodded hulu app in the first place. It is still weird that it doesn't want to install though, have you tried restarting your device?

The stock Hulu app plays ads just fine, but it won't play the actual video. I've tried everything I could think of, including re-starting numerous times.

Stock version was updated tonight and now works. I too was just able to view the ads only, but now everything works! Yay!!

I can also confirm that the Stock version is now working. I can watch TV shows instead of just ADs. Previously mine only played ads.

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up!

I wandered over here to see if anyone else got this update, or knew what it was supposed to address. I didn't even see anything on the ASUS site. I did bite the bullet, but then again I'm not rooted or anything. I'm good with stock.
I was just comparing my system details to the OP and the kernel version and system build numbers are different. Just curious is your tablet rooted.

So far so good. Market is still very slow on installing apps. Haven't noticed much of a difference from previous version, but still testing.

It runs faster for me but it still has random reboots (newly purchased, too).

I must be lucky, I have never had a random reboot on this device since I purchased it in May.

I'm going to say it fixes issues related to the keyboard?

Only thing i noticed after updating is the Batman Dark Knight Rises game finally plays smooth.. Still has a bit of lag but generally smooth.

I wish I had root for it but that has to wait for end-of-warranty unlocking or a new method to root JB. I'd clear the dalvik-cache & repair permissions if I had the chance but that has to wait. *sigh*

I had plenty reboots on mine, but then I noticed that it had something to do with the power button. I sent it to warranty to change the power button and I never had a reboot since that. I did this update too and I can't notice any diference.

Updated this morning from WW_epad-10.4.2.13-20120907 to WW_epad-10.4.2.17-20121018 and Voodoo rootkeeper restored root without any problem.

I just updated as well. Dont see any changes. It certainly isnt the 4.2 update I was hoping for. Asus has been great with updates on this device so I cant complain... I hope they update to 4.2 though.

KindleFree (Free your kindle)

Within the last week I have been on vacation in Minnesota and my Dad has a Kindle Fire HD...after seeing how horrible the Amazon Homescreen is and all that can be done to help improve the device I decided to write an application that would help users perform general tasks on the Kindle Fire HD after rooting it that would make their experience better.
I have yet to test this on anything but the Kindle Fire HD. I know this will not work on the original Kindle Fire, but 2nd generation on up may be able to use this as well but I have not tested it as I don't have one of these devices.
I made two version, a free and a pro version. The free version will allow you to install a custom launcher and the Android market. Beyond that I'm asking for ~1.00 for the pro version (Well I get $1.00 anyways after Googles cut) to help development and buy me some StarBucks
Tip: long press on items to remove them from your device.
Here are the links to both in the Android market:
Pro - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stericson.KindleFree_License
Free - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stericson.KindleFree (I just published this one so it may not be up yet...)
I've also attached the free one as well.
Please let me know what you guys think and if you want to see more added to this.

works perfectly

Thanks Stephen. Excellent work. Might I suggest a couple of things?
1. An undo option for launchers and the miscellaneous stuff.
2. Reminder that if installing an alternate launcher, kindle books will no longer work.
3. A warning against updating any of the Amazon apps in google play store.
Just some ideas.

2. Reminder that if installing an alternate launcher, kindle books will no longer work.
-- I will add that, I wasn't aware that this happens, is this normal when replacing the launcher? Like does this happen if done manually?
3. A warning against updating any of the Amazon apps in google play store.
-- What should the warning say?

When you replace the launcher it breaks the kindle book app. You can install the play store version but you lose the built in book store. If you update the Kindle mobile app it breaks the Amazon store search. This is on the 8.9 BTW.

The Amazon Apps are designated for otter. Which I assume is the device codename. The play store versions don't cooperate with the fire framework.

Do not update amazon books,music,shop or it will mess up compatibility! my idea for update warning

Thanks for the comments guys, I made some updates and uploaded the new version.

I bought the paid version even though I didn't need it (pretty much have Google and Nova fully installed already), but I'm looking forward to more options.
Just a suggestion, but maybe you could add more Google apps to it, like Google+? The Play Store pretends that Google+ isn't compatible so it won't allow you to download it, but it side loads just fine. There's a lot of apps like that, unfortunately, so maybe a build prop edit shortcuts could also be added, like one to mimic a more universally accepted tablet and one to quickly return to Kindle Fire HD for stubborn apps. These would obviously be for the paid version.
Also for the paid version, maybe you could add the voice search framework and apps too.
There's a ton of potential for this app, thanks for putting it together!

KIndle Fire HD Update is happening
Updated to 10.3.2? It seems there is even a NEWER update! :crying:
There is a new update for KF & KF HD!
KF2: 10.4.1
KF HD 7: 7.4.1
KF HD 8.9: 8.4.1
Here is the link http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...x36E18S96DJXEU
Here is what it says:
"We have a new, free software update available for Kindle Fire 2nd Generation, Kindle Fire HD 7", and Kindle Fire HD 8.9: In addition to bug fixes and performance improvements, the software update adds the following features to your Kindle Fire:
* Language Support for Canadian English and Canadian French - You can now change your device language to Canadian English and Canadian French.
* Show Battery Percentage in the Status Bar - You can now see the total percentage of battery life left when you enable this feature from the Device menu."
"This update automatically downloads and installs for Kindle Fire 7", Kindle Fire HD 7" and Kindle Fire HD 8.9" customers; however, you can also manually download the software and update your device using the USB cable."
. . . According to some of the posts at the site, it seems to add a digital battery meter, but not many other differences for the user (unless you're Canadian, then you get a more robust language package).
I have not been updated, but I am running Kinology now, and also my update file has been renamed!

But after root I have 1 black screen in Apex launcher. Anybody have problems like that? Methods to overcome? Please Help. Thank you very much

I would like to know that too. I'm on 3.2.5 though and not getting much feedback. I would rather not rollback. But I really want root. As I said, I do like the Fire OS. So just want to root it and play around with it for a while. It is better than my N10. But I need Google apps and to get rid of the proprietary stuff so I can do my tech stuff on the fly. I use my phone or laptop. They aren't always convenient. The Kindle seems perfect for what I do. 3 weeks I've had it and still no root. Amazon apps are usually older and they don't have a lot that I need

I have a 8.9 hdx and I just rooted and installed google play today. I am also on the same software version as you. I used towel root.
