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:
http://www.mediafire.com/?n0e9qxeo1mt0onh
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.
I installed the opera beta a couple of months ago and like it over chrome for a few reasons. I hadn't noticed an update for a while and just read on a site that the non beta has been released. I search on google play and there it is, but of course 'your device is not compatible with this application'. Sigh. Yet I search for the opera beta and it's still listed in the market and of course it's still compatible with the nexus 7.
I suspect that if I get a copy and sideload it, it will work fine. So I guess I'm asking why in general does this keep happening? When the nexus 7 first came out there were various apps that were flagged not compatible. At the time I thought new device, jelly bean or non standard resolution or some reason, but it's still happening.
Is it because it's a tablet? Like I wonder if I had say the acer a110 would it suffer from this as well or is it just the nexus 7? And even if it is because it's a tablet so what? It's so rare (like ancient apps) that won't scale up to full screen on larger devices, so what exactly is the issue in general? Again, it's especially frustrating when you sideload the app and it works without issue. This is when I dislike the market, let me try and install it anyway.

The new Opera only has 360p (phone UI), so I suspect they might be developing a tab UI separately or in an update, and then make it compatible.
Here's a link to the apk for sideloading, in case you want it (it's free so it's not warez, right?).

Works fine on my Nexus 7... doesn't seem that much different from the Beta version.
Oddly, it replaced (installed over the top) of my installed version of Opera Mobile, it's non-webkit predecessor... which now seems to have been pulled from PlayStore.
So if you think you might want to go back to Opera Mobile at some point... make a backup of the APK before installing this.
--------------------------
Given that Opera Mobile seems to have been removed from PlayStore, it's kind of odd that Opera Browser (it's supposed replacement) is showing as 'your device isn't compatible with this version'.
Actually, it appear to be incompatible with all three of my Android devices!
Opera Browser Beta is still available, though... and is showing as 'compatible' with the Nexus 7.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Opera have just updated Opera Browser (on PlayStore), and is now compatible with the Nexus 7.
It will still install over Opera Mobile though... so if you have that installed, and wish to return to it at some point... make a backup first.

I am running FireOS 4.5.3 on Fire HDX 7" and it is not (and never has been) rooted.
Settings > Applications > Apps from unknown sources is On
I have the file manager with zip support installed.
Uninstall any versions of the 5 apks mentioned below.
Download this zip file:
https://mega.co.nz/#!OItCnSSA!VqBqlbwUa3h5VR0bmIXmRVBq4UeYo5bhBmzmflml3Vk
Open or extract it and install the apks in this order:

framework 4.0.4
play services 7.3.29
playstore 4.3.10
youtube 10.16.53
Reboot the tablet.
Go to youtube and you should get that normal google account login screen.
Login and presto! There you have it latest youtube apk with sign in ability.
Hasn't crashed on me (yet), but play store does not work (I've tried a few versions).
Yes I am aware of that youtube app with the blue icon in the amazon app store but I wasn't satisfied with it.
I haven't tried any other google apps yet with this combo.
I really hope this works for others. I just spent the last 5-6 hours figuring this out and it's now nearly 2am.
works for me
Youtube works.
Not for playstore gmail.
Oh that's cool I'm glad it's worked for others.
I just wanted to give something back to this forum cause I've gone to it so many times myself.
Found a gmail apk that works
Don't want to burst your bubble, but someone already figured out how to get YouTube to work on unrooted devices (along with other Google apps): http://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hdx/themes-apps/how-to-install-gapps-root-t2954372

Chrome should work regardless of framework (at least it did last time I tried). If not try Opera. Same underlying engine (Chromium) with a different skin.

That command is for Google+ to work. It's not needed if you don't use G+. But at least you provided newer versions.
Is it just me, or does doing this break other apps? Skype won't work properly (no contacts or message history), TuneIn radio won't even get past the initial screen. Why is this happening? Sorry I'm new to this stuff.
I should add that uninstalling these packages then causes everything to work again, so it does seem to be causing it.

Installing Google framework/services/store/etc on Fire OS is always a crap shoot as Amazon has its own set of conflicting services. Many get it to work (at least partially) while others experience problems. Installing framework/services on an unrooted device presents additional challenges....but also adds a layer of safety as you can typically install/experiment/uninstall without serious consequences. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to your current situation; responding to "why is this happening?". You'll probably get it to work eventually with help from others.
That makes sense. I did manage to get Skype 5.1 working but anything after that breaks. Must have added a new feature since then that gets into that services conflict you mention. No luck with TuneIn, though I found an alternative for that.

If your family is looking for unfettered access to the play store you should definitely look for another device. It will be awhile before alternative roms become available to newer Kindles and most play store implementations are hacks at best. While the hardware is wonderful you really have to be wed to the Amazon ecosystem to truly appreciate the device (or be fortunate enough to have an 'older' model that can be rooted/unlocked and run a Google friendly rom).

I appreciate the frank reply. I was able to set her up with Chrome and Gmail which were her main concerns. The 1Mobile 3rd party marketplace had any of the other apps she was looking for. I also finished moving all her books over so she's going to take it for a spin this weekend when we head to the beach for a night and see how it goes.

If you are comfortable with 1moble (one of my favorite 'alternative' marketplaces) then many of the shortcomings inherent with the Amazon store can be mitigated. Chrome (more often Gmail) can get fussy without google services/framework. Opera is a nice alternative that utilizes the same core engine as Chrome. Gmail is a little tougher to directly emulate; plenty of alternatives if the Gmail app coughs up a fur ball (I happen to like Aquamail). You really don't need root but if you choose to do so Xposed framework adds a few nice touches that can further tame an HDX without compromising native functionality.
Hope it works out for you folks.
You can run Google services framework without root. People have been having issues with the newer builds however. If it does not work for you, try build version 7.0.99.

That will work for now (thanks @lekofraggle for the tip) but be aware Google is quickly adapting apps to leverage capabilities introduced in newer builds of services framework. For now that appears confined to Maps and Google Now (eg: card features) and primarly targets Lollipop.
You are welcome. I know about the impending issue with Google play services. Hopefully they fix the issues soon. Google maps works for now but complains.

I'm on Verizon so no Samsung Internet for me.
I don't really like Chrome (doesn't seem smooth)
What do you recommend?
What's fast, smooth, stable, and easy on battery/resources?
I use chrome, only because I used to use safari. Considering there's no safari on android, chrome offers seamless integration between my mac and S7 Edge.
I'd stick away from Firefox personally, only because of security problems with the browser.

crashes....
Chrome (the native one for t mob s7e) CONSTANTLY was crashing....
I moved onto chrome dev...then beta.. all crashed...
So now i switch between adblock browser, and using NO ROOT adblock through fast adblock on the samsung browser... (for anyone that doesnt know, there is a secret menu to turn on adbloxking)
Chrome has become bloated and slow, I use the Samsung browser because is fast and it also supports ad blockers now.
Even if it is not included, can't you just go to apkmirror and download and install it ?

Don't know how you are crashing all the builds of chrome.. But i've always been stuck on Stable Chrome and never seen a crash on Android builds.
Next Browser is beautiful and intuitive, Butterfly is the fastest there is.

Question. Samsung browser every darn time i open a google drive link. It doesnt download. Just ask me to open it from my account. I jave tried everything and cant download the files. Anyone know how to disable this?
UC browser is a ton smoother and faster then Chrome for me, built in adblocker, built in flash player, just have to disable a few things in its settings as it has some Facebook and other integration it puts into notifications window.
After that, it's really awesome. Completely themable too, and can turn every web site into a black OLED friendly version if you have a play with the theme settings
As I understand it, with Marshmellow Samsung allowed the use of add-ons with their browser. I have downloaded apps for adblock made specifically for Samsung Internet. Supposedly I am supposed to be able to enable these from the advanced settings in the browser but the option is not there. I have seen screenshots of others' phones and don't understand why it isn't there on mine. I have included a screenshot of my "advanced settings" menu. If someone could clear this up, I would be really grateful. I was really looking forward to this feature.
Root Or not use this https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
make show you Do not install the BROWSER Version. click the small text at the bottom of the paragraph "​Download Adblock Plus for Android" to download the Proxy version. the run runs on your phone and loops back to your phone so your data is not going through some one else server like other proxys
This block add globally on your phone for all apps on wifi. This would be the next best thing to a rooted modified host file
Here are instructions https://adblockplus.org/en/android-config#proxy If you have any questions Just ask.

When I installed AdBlock+ for Samsung internet browser I had to open the adblock app which then told me to go to the browser settings & there was then a block content options that wasn't there before, tapped on that to activate adblock+
I ended up removing it as it was giving a message saying content blocking not working & to get in touch with the developer. I then tried out AdGuard & ended up getting a lifetime licence for that.
When I used the adblock+ app a couple of years ago on a Sony Z2 it just seemed to cause a lot of browser crashes so as soon as I rooted I then used AdAway.
I use adblock fast. Does that run thru another server?

Here is a direct link to the file from Their website, Long hold the link and click save as or save file. https://update.adblockplus.org/latest/adblockplusandroid.apk you then may have to use a file explorer to navigate you /sdcard/downloads and then open it and click installer with android installer/ package manager.

@jc83 No, it looks like i jst loops back to the phone also. I just check out the app and it looks really good. But according to Manikant Mittal's comment on the play store "u need to have internet 4.0 for this app to work"
this makes me think it will only work in the Browser called internet and that browser only. Adblock plus may be a little slower but it blocks add wile on wifi for Everything coming through your wifi connecting meaning it will block adds in all browsers and even apps.
if adblock fast would do the same then I would defiantly switch to that one instead.. I like how it is also open source too. I have downloaded it to my rooted and my non rooted phone encase it gets pulled form the play store. Ill take another look at it some more in a little bit and see if i am wrong and if it can do it system wide like adblock plus.
I have just messaged adblockfast on Facebook and twitter asking if they can add this feature. and if it not allowed that way in the play store if they could then host that version on their site instead.

There was a update in play store for Samsung browser the past couple of days & in the changelog it did mention content blocking. See if you get the update from play store then run adblock+ for samsung browser & then manually open samsung browser & go to advanced settings & there should hopefully be the block content option. Turn that on & tap adblock+ & that will activate adblocking in the browser.

Yeah I followed the instructions to set the proxy manually but found that adblock+ would crash quite often & often crashed the browser as well.

Thanks for the link but it just says that my device is not compatible.
Just tried to see if I could backup the apk for it using mybackup pro but can't see the browser listed to be able to back it up. Hopefully someone who is rooted will be able to upload it for you.
AdBlock Plus works perfect for me with Samsung Internet browser. But the problem with that browser is that it eats a lot of battery, Firefox does the same, I ended up with Dolphin Browser + Dolphin JetPack + AdBlock for Dolphin Browser and it works pretty well with much less battery drain. I have to say that the Samsung Internet browser is the fastest, though.

After the "Block Content" option also not appearing in my Advanced settings in the Samsung browser even after sideloading the latest version (4.0.10-51) I have finally figured out how to get it to appear. With the latest version installed I went to Application manager --> Internet --> Storage and simply selected "Clear Data" after force stopping the program. I guess it was a caching/preference issue that prevented the Block Content option from showing up but after resetting all data it now appears!
