[Q] Hulu Plus on "Flash Video Browser" app?

OK...I bought this app because I wanted a simple way to get Hulu Plus working. I am running CM7 via a dual-boot SD card since I wanted to preserve the original B&N functionality. Adobe Flash 11 is installed too.
I'm hoping this is something really simple. When I start up the app and go to Hulu, the Hulu web page loads with no issues. So, I click on "Log In" and two things happen:
1. For a brief second, a login dialog pops up int he upper right (same as regular Hulu) asking me to enter a user name and password. It's only on the screen for about half a second.
2. Immediately afterwards, the web browser just goes to an "about:blank" page.
So, how I can I get past this and log into my Hulu Plus account to watch videos?

Unless I'm missing something the easy way to watch Hulu Plus is to download the Hulu Plus app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449110
I'd recommend going that route unless there is some reason why it wouldn't work with a dual boot setup. Your purchase isn't a total loss though I wouldn't mind having it for YouTube videos that won't play on mobile browsers. Just make sure you disable ad blocker if you have it installed before using the flash browser app.

I don't have it in front of me right now actually but the app definitely doesn't work. I think it gives some sort of "Your device is not supported" error but I'll check when I get home. So I'm looking for alternatives.

Well if you download the app from Google Play (Android Market) then you will probably have that problem. But the link I posted is from another thread here and its a modded APK that works very well. Again it should work unless there's an issue with dual boot setups I'm not aware of. Lol I've missed things before and some people make sure you know it.
Don't forget disabling ad blocker is the easiest and most common fix for your app in question. I would still recommend the Hulu app but you might as well get this browser app working too.

figured it out...
if you go to hulu.com/signin it will redirect to a login page... login..... this will save the cookie..... use back to exit fvb then when you open again just hit hulu ..... I found this post looking for a solution.... then did some experimenting and this just worked for me like 5 minutes ago.... hope this helps

thanks.. :fingers-crossed:
i hope it is not a virus infected site..
update:
it loaded/installed just fine.. and ran..
first try.. it got to hulu.com.. and showed full website.
tried to play a show.. it locked up.. had to FC it.
ran the app again.. going to hulu.com .. was a white screen. and that is all you can see.
so.. that app has been blocked or does not support hulu anymore.
NOTE: i did not try to load an older version of Flash Player. this might fix it.
but I am giving up on this.. till something is developed better.

Hulu Plus works beautifully on my Nook Color. Running CM10 from the SD Card.
It's not entirely clear whether or not you're using the modded app linked in the 2nd post. You need to use the modded app. Here's a link:

Before running the app, be sure to temporarily disable any ad-blocking you may be using.

Don't know if my different nook or rooted stock rom makes a difference. I have a rooted Nook Tablet (NT), no custom ROM. I cannot login from the directions in the earlier posts. However, I can watch certain things by browsing for them without signing on.
Here's what happens... I use the Flash Video Browser (bought in store... can't remember if it was through amazon, google play, etc.). I search for a show. If they have free versions of that show click on it (I think logging in might allow a higher quality but it looks great on my 7" screen as is). If ever you are confronted with a white screen, in address bar it says "about:blank", I hit the back button (I use the back button on Button Savior from Google Play store). When I hit the back button it plays the video.
If it shows the white screen after you search, similarly the back button will bring you back to the search results. Hope this helps.

Asphalt 8 problem

After it got free( I paid for it ), I updated my asphalt 8 to the latest version, and the second time I run the game after the update, I can't press any button in the menu. The game is still working, and the button glows when I press them, but I can't play it, I can't load single player, multiplayer,etc. I can't load anything! I don't ask for a solution(because this is the game developer's job), but I want to know if any of you have the same problem like me on the i9505 version of Galaxy S4, so I can be sure what I am talking about when I will email gameloft about this problem. Thanks !

Same to me. If you turn off your network (wifi and mobile data) it works, but without network. I emailed them, but nobody answered. On their website I sent a post form, but nobody answered. Very poor customer service.
If you clear application datas (some MB and cache), it would work until you quit the game.
Very frustrating problem. I spent a lot of money to this game.

Ok, I found the problem. Adaway kills the host that Asphalt tries to open, and waiting for it. You have to manually add *gameloft* to the Adaway whitelist, and everything will work.

Has anyone figured out how to block the new Google Now search result ads?

1. In the settings Adaway put the check on "Allow redirect and white lists";
2. Disable ad blocking and reboot;
3. Adaway menu by selecting "Journal queries DNS" - run "Tcpdump" and not closing Adaway, run Asphalt 8 to "Tcpdump" continued to work in the background;
4. Run the 8 Asphalt (Tapan reklamku that pops up at the beginning) and then close the game;
5. Open Adaway - menu - "Journal of queries DNS" - "Open Log File" (opens a list of hosts);
6. Long tap on each host and add them ALL to the white list;
7. Include ad blocking, reboot and enjoy the online game in the 8 Asphalt!

Hi, under menu/my lists create a whitelist item: *gameloft*. After this update the host files on the main screen.
That's it!

Wow that was really helpful, I was getting sick of the ads, which was the actual reason of rooting the phone..

What if I am not using S4 nor using adaway or any add blocking software?
Edit: ok I figured... If you dont have it, just download it and then whitelist it... Maybe the custom rom has custom hosts file.

Pop-Up ads appearing on home screen and over apps

Since yesterday I've been getting ads that pop up over any and every app when I start them.
I've had this happen from an app I installed once before and uninstalling fixed it, but this time I tried uninstalling everything I've installed or updated in the past 2 weeks but they still keep popping up.
And none of the ad detectors can find these type of ads so does anyone know how to track the source?
Also this is the app I had and removed months ago that gave same problems https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=game.gles.rubikcube

Some apps running in the background causes this. Uninstall all the free app or cracked apps from your phone

I've uninstalled everything from 2 weeks before it started, and it isn't just cracked apps that cause it like you'll see by looking at the comments of the app I linked to.
So I need a way to find the app or process to find it.

You can try this:
- Install Shortcut Master app.
- Open Menu > Capture Shortcut. Here you can select 'Manually capture' and 'Auto capture', which one is suitable for you.
That way you can capture the shortcut when the ads appear. You can also know which app that the ads belong to.

i have the same problem, when i unlock th phone appear chrome window with ads, or suddenly a window over any aplication that i use inthat moment.

Browser Google Search Links Suddenly Redirecting to Google Play Store App Pages

So for the past few days, when I do a google search in the stock browser on my S5, certain sites (I'm guessing only sites that have Play Store apps) are redirecting me to their play store app page... To be clear, I'll search for something and get a result that should link me to IMDB.COM -- but if I click that result, I get send to the IMDB APP page on Google Play... If I hold down the link and hit OPEN or OPEN IN NEW TAB, it will actually take me to the sites mobile page in the browser like normal.
Any idea what's causing this? I've cleared the browser cash and data, I've cleared Play Store defaults as well. I've tried removing all the individual web page settings inside the browser. I've done a ton of searches and found nothing.
I've actually now noticed that every time I try to link to a youtube video from a google search it just goes to "webpage not available." Again, if hold down on the link and hit OPEN or OPEN IN NEW TAB, it works...
This just started happening out of the blue and I have no idea what changed... And it's super annoying.
Any help greatly appreciated!

I agree. the same thing has happened to me and my wife's phone. When we google search in a browser on our androids, many links will direct back to the "play store" app. Same symptoms and reactions, when long tapping the links to open in new tab, the function works perfectly. And another temporary solution is to activate "desktop mode" if available in the browser, and it won't open the app store, but of course, depending on your device and the browser app, desktop mode can be a little sluggish
Please XDA developers, if any of you know how to solve this issue please let us know. Otherwise it'll be safe to assume that google is leveled up their reign of terror, beginning at relentlessly invading privacy, and now hijacking user experience by literary using actual malware techniques.

Sounds similar to this
http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...to-install-apps-directly-from-search-results/

Nope, this is different. The article talks about the option of installing apps directly from search results (i.e. the user sees an "install" button inline with search results). Whereas here, the search results themselves are redirecting to the Play store, with no option to keep browsing the link in the browser.

Yes, which could be related to the roll out / bugs during it
Seems slightly coincidental that Google search results are redirecting to the play store, at the same time as Google is rolling out the ability to install apps directly from the results

This has suddenly fixed itself... Links now working normally again for me. Strange. Seems like this might have been some Google roll out bug as Detection mentioned.
Anyway, working for now. My Youtube links still only open in browser (instead of in app) but I'll live with that, I guess.
Thanks!

Check in settings > default applications, that the browser is not set as default for youtube, if it is, clear it, and next time you open a youtube link, it should give the option to choose the app and set that as default
Or reinstall the YT app, and it should auto clear the default

Is it possible that google has superior control over any android device, regardless of the type of rom? where If google wanted to, they can roll out some crazy beta test on everyone's devices and then stop it again, after they've collected enough information from their tests? Whereby making useless the option an android owner gets for allowing google to monitor their device for app malfunctions or not.
My browser is acting normal now too. It seems really weird that a very particular action that is mostly found in malware was forcefully applied to our android browsers, (i don't use chrome, bur the default browser app in my stock rom) for the same amount of time before being taken away. And i know for a fact that it wasn't with anything i've done. Owning android devices for a very long time now (and customizing the such and PCs too) is more than enough experience for me to know that this is no accident, nor foul interpretation of settings on my part.
Just how worthless have these systems and devices become? Is there any safety left anywhere?

How do you get the latest Samsung Internet?

Its beta and is available from several forums. The file name is "Samsung Internet-5.2.02-94.apk". I tried a previous beta before upgrading and factory resetting. It is wonderful and supports 5 adblocking extensions all at once to be activated. I want it again but do not want to install a apk from a forum(not trusted like this one is) and risk having my device compromised. How do you get beta updates to samsung apps? I only use their browser now(no more chrome or firefox) since the addition of lastpass that logs me in to everything just by my fingerprint.

I've never had trouble with apkmirror.

I took the plunge and downloaded it anyway. Soo much better being able to use unicorn and disconnect ad blocker at the same time not a massive difference, but at least I do not have to install firefox with ublock and give up my samsung pass.
