hello fellow xoomers!
im trying to watch hulu on my brand spanking new xoom wifi that i purchased from bestbuy yesterday. i've installed the flash and installed Flash_10.3-Hulufied_BRDizzle.apk
but am not able to goto about:debug on the browser. is anyone experiencing the same issue?
There is a special version of flash you need to install. Funny, b/c I am looking for it now
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Go to the navigation bar and type in about:debug and hit enter - nothing will seem to happen. Then go to settings, debug.
For me, I bought PlayOn which is running on a Windows machine in my house. With PlayOn I can watch Hulu, CNN, Comedy Central, Netflix, Amazon VOD, and local media files. Well worth the invenstment.
i did install the special flash version. i cant post web links since im a newbie, but if you google - watch hulu on xoom. you will find driod life - how to watch hulu on the motorola xoom site with instructions, but its not working for me.
settings, debug?
settings, applications, unknown source is already checked.
He means the settings in the browser itself... it's in the upper right. Running the about:debug just unlocks extra settings
on the browser itself, on the upper right, settings. i only see general, privacy & security, advanced, and labs. no debug. do u guys have debug???
ok, i followed these instructions and debug showed up in settings on the browser

1. Open the Android Honeycomb browser on your tablet.
2. In the address bar, type: about:debug and press enter.
3. Now open the browser's settings by tapping the icon in the very top-right corner of your screen (it looks like four horizontal lines) and selecting "Settings" from the drop-down menu that appears.
4. On the left side of the screen, tap the section labeled "Debug."
5. On the right side of the screen, tap the item labeled "UAString," then select "Desktop."
6. Press the back button (in the very bottom-left corner of your screen) to exit the browser's settings.
7. In the browser's address bar, type: about:debug once more; this will disable debugging mode and return the browser to its normal state. [Optional] If you do this step you will need to redo this step every time to enable Desktop Browsing.
Here's a tip for quickly enabling desktop mode in the future, if you wish to add it to the first post:
8. Do these one-time actions to create a shortcut to "about:debug" after completing through step 5 above:
A. Open Bookmarks and choose Add Bookmark
B. Edit the properties of the bookmark to set Label to "about:debug", Address to "about:debug", and leave Add To as "Bookmarks" so it's at the top level.
9: To quickly toggle desktop mode on and off in the future:
A. Go to Bookmarks and select "about:debug". This doesn't enable the mode, but puts it in your address bar.
B. Touch the address bar to give it focus, and press ENTER or tap the GO icon. This will turn Debug Mode on or off depending on its last state, and if you previously enabled desktop mode... toggles that as well.
Note 1: Verify your mode by tapping the Settings icon. If you see "Dumping navigation cache" and "Dump V8 counters", then Debug mode is enabled.
Note 2: You do not have to drill down and change desktop settings each time you toggle debug mode - all of your debug settings from your last session are rememberd.
i've change the UAString to desktop and it displays - hulu requires Flash Player 10.0.32 or higher. Please download and install the latest version of the Flash player before continuing.
bummer, it doesnt work.....
Thank you for posting the instructions for the shortcut .
Make sure pluging are always enabled . I also had to uninstall Adobe Air .
has anyone able to watch hulu with 3.1 and adobe flash 10.3?
I am on 3.1, using the "hulified" version of Flash 10.3 found in the development section. I use DolphinHD browser exclusively for hulu with good results.
Using a rooted 3.1 wifi on BRD Tiamat 1.4.4, flashed with ua string perma change, using the Hulufied Flash installed.
Plays Hulu without any issues.
Go to Desktop, Settings, Manage App, All App, Browser, and Clear cache, clear data, and force stop. Open back up the browser. Then redo the about:debug directions on here again.. It should then work for you. Some how Hulu saves data to your phone identifying it as a mobile device so when you do install the modified flash version, it still thinks you on mobile.

i guess im going to have to root my xoom.
Is anyone elses video choppy when they play hulu? I got the mod working, but the video doesn't play smooth long enough to watch an entire episode. It will start out playing fine for the first couple minutes, then it will start to play choppy and eventually the video image will just freeze. The audio will continue, but the video stops.
try a different browser like dolphin mini. I use that just for hulu.

Hey,
Where did you get the uastring perma fix from?
I have been successful to root my US Xoom WiFi 3.1 using BRD's method as well as putting tiamat 1.4.4 on it but cant seem to get framework-res.apk working properly. I used this method here but i ran into a few problems:
-desktop uastring opens websites in desktop mode fine BUT
-when i got to the address bar to do a google search, the search doesnt go through.
instead it opens a url titled "http://friday/... (cant remember the rest of this).
Would you be a doll and send me a link to where you found a good framework-res.apk? or send me yours
Thanks in advnace!

Just wanted to share this with you all.
I found a way to bypass hdcp (drm)
First enable developer mode
then activate simulated second view (protected)
Launch the app that blocks hdmi out
connect hdmi cable
press the home button
go back to dev options and disable second view simulation
go back to the app
Bingo...

making smartphone camera stream live feed to laptop
Hello,
I'm looking to be able to capture a live feed (I.e. web cam or cctv function) from a smartphone to my laptop via usb 3.0
I'm leaning towards the galaxy s5 as its video camera has all the features I need. Just the one hang up with the hdcp.
I have video capturing software that requires the laptop to recognize the camera as an imaging device in device manager.
Any thoughts on work arounds for this to happen?
Thanks in advance.
August 2020 and I confirm, this still works.
Thank you so much
doesnt work anymore
In the review on Gizmodo they said you can turn off the recommendations per app but I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone find it?
They seem to be controlled by the notifications setting:
Settings > Apps > (whatever app) > Notifications > On/Off

Oh crazy, thanks. I saw that setting but I didn't think notifications = recommendations. Totally works though.
ah nice moves! never use google play movies
Well, we have been using Amazon Instant Video (since we're Prime anyway). And I'm racking my brain trying to figure out how to get the Amazon apk to the Nexus so that Chainfire's lovely little app can find it and hopefully that will work.
What do I do.... get the apk to the PC, then connect the Nexus Player to my PC and copy it over? I'd hate to re-invent the wheel if someone else here has already done it. I'd like to know how YOU did it.
Thanks!

Hello there,
This was one of the first thing I tried, but it didn't work. Both the Amazon, and the Prime Instant Video apps have to be installed. Just like on a phone. (In case you're not aware the Instant Video app doesn't work without the Amazon app.) Anyways, I side loaded both apps, they started up, I logged in and was able to browse my video library, but I was not able to play any videos. The video begins to load, but shortly after it just goes blank. I used a USB OTG cable and a mouse to navigate through the Amazon apps. (A mouse just makes it a lot easier.)
So, if you would like to try it for yourself here's what I did:
On Nexus Player:
1. Enable developer options. (Go to "Setting," under Device row go to "About," scroll down to and click "Biuld" 7 or 8 times.
2. Turn on USB debugging. (Go to "Setting," under Preferences row go to "Developer options," click on debugging and turn on USB debugging.
3. Turn on Unknown sources. (Go to "Settings," under Personal row go to "Security & Restrictions," and turn on "Unknown sources."
On computer:
1. Make sure you have the latest Android SDK installed. (and that it's up to date)
2. Place whatever apk(s) you want to install inside the "platform-tools" folder. (wherever you extracted it\adt-bundle-windows-etc..\sdk\platform-tools) Once the apk is in the folder I usually rename the app with no spaces.
3. Connect your Nexus Player to your computer.
4. Open a command window on the platform-tools folder. (Shift, Right click, "Open command window here")
5. Check that your computer actually detects your NP by typing this command: "adb devices" No quotation marks, it should show your device as something like "04fc8453e8f6d75b device" (The very first time you do this an RSA key fingerprint notification will pop up on the NP (TV screen) saying, "Allow USB debugging?" check the "Always allow from this computer" mark and then "OK."
6. If step 5 checks out, and your NP is detected then use this command to sideload/install apps: "adb install appname.apk" Again, no quotation marks. (fill in "appname" with the actual name of the app, no spaces.) If all goes well you will see a "Success" remark in the command window.
7. Check Sideload Launcher and your app should now be listed there for you to use.
**To uninstall a sideloaded app go to "Settings," under Device row go to "Apps," then under the Downloaded apps row just select an app, and you'll have the option to uninstall it.
Good luck....

I also had the same issue. Got both amazon and amazon instant video sideloaded, but just when the video is about to start playing it returns me to the main window. It also happens with the Xfinity Go app...
Any ideas why this is?

I really couldn't tell you why. My best guess is simply that these Amazon apps are not designed to work on Android TV.
I also sideloaded Popcorn Time, but it's a hit or miss. Some movies download just fine and play fine, while others get downloaded to a certain percentage and then stop and some just don't download at all. (FYI after watching a movie from Popcorn Time on the NP I always clear the cache folder in the Popcorn Time setting because some movie end up being about 2GB in size.)

Lollipop hasn't been out long enough for many apps to become compatible. Too early to tell if its a Lollipop issue or an Android TV issue. I'd assume you'll have to wait a while since I'm sure it's not a priority for Amazon to update for Lollipop since the FireTV isn't Lollipop yet either.

Yea, but what is odd is that I see mixed comments. Some people say that amazon video is working, but they don't say if it works for them or how.
Seems odd that both amazon video and xfinity apps do the same thing... Apps work fine but video won't load...

Xfinity app works fine on my lollipop nexus 7. I haven't tried amazon yet though.
I was wondering if it's possible to load these apps on the NP :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quickplay.android.bellmediaplayer
I have the APK, but I was wondering the rest of the process (like device restrictions, I know how to get the APK installed).
I tried that before and it didn't work. On a phone or tablet, the device has to be in portrait mode to even select a channel and since a TV is oriented in landscape mode, you won't be able to do much (if anything) with this app on the Nexus Player.
Let's try to make it work then, where you able to at least get the app installed ?
I tried this app again on my Nexus Player moments ago. It can be installed if you sideload it but there are multiple issues. 1) It doesn't work with just the NP remote so you'll need a mouse to get through some of the menus or you'll need to use something like DroidMote. 2) It will default to portrait mode which means that the menus will display sideways on your TV. 3) You can use an app like Ultimate Rotation Control or Set Rotation to keep it locked in landscape mode but either way, even after you log in and select a channel, there's no way to display the video in full screen mode so you'll only be able to see a small box of video in the corner of the screen. It's just not practical to use.
anyone got it like me? any custom rom available or community for tweaks

I don't have any charge issues. Just limited functionality. And I haven't had any luck transferring files via Bluetooth. I can link the watch to my Samsung S8 phone, share a file via Bluetooth from the phone, but the transfer always fails. I don't know if it's me, the phone or the watch.

Did you accept the file transfer at the watch? You have to pull down the notification area and have to accept the file transfer.

It won't run on my Samsung Galaxy S8 either.
I hope someone figures out how to install the Google Play Store app on the watch. Aptoide is difficult to use for me.
Also, I noticed that when installing an app, the Install and Cancel buttons are almost not visible at the bottom of the screen. Is there a way to scroll/drag the screen?
Many of the icons are too small for my fingers. Is there a small stylus available anywhere that works with the watch? I installed Chrome so a stylus would help with using that as well.

There are new Versions of the Apps, for watch and Phone. Take a look at
my Postst #2, give them a try. For me it's working now.
Hello Backers,
The first software update is now available and it focuses on the data transfer between the watch and your smartphone app. For those that were having issues with the app and data transfer we’ve updated the software to allow for a better experience for transferring photos from the watch to your phone.
Cloud update services are not available at this time but please follow these simple instructions to update your watch:
1. Enable Bluetooth on smartwatch & phone.
2. Connect them with eachother.
3. Enable the installation from unknown source on your watch. (settings > security > unknown source)
4. Download http://arrowsmartwatch.ml/ on your computer.
5. Once the APK is on your computer, share it via Bluetooth to your Arrow Smartwatch. (if you don’t know, just google how to share files with Bluetooth, it’s very easy)
6. Once you’ve pressed the sharing button, you’ll have to accept the file on your watch.
(Swipe down from the top of your Arrow screen, to open the notification bar. Now press on the Bluetooth notification and hit the accept button.)
7. Now go to the file manager and search the Bluetooth folder.
8. The APK is in that folder. It’s labelled Arrow2
#9 is for ANDROID users only and this is your new Arrow Smartphone App. Please download from the following link.
9. Download this on your Android phone http://arrowsmartphone.ml/
This watch update was tested by a few beta testers within the backer community with good results. It should allow many of you that were having trouble to start transferring photos and videos from the watch to your phone. The next planned update will focuses on connectivity, apps and notifications.
As for the remaining Arrow inventory we continue to wait for Chinese customs to give us an answer on the status of our units. They said Chinese New Year would create a delay of up to a month or two so we will post an additional update soon outlining the details of this extremely frustrating and prolonged ordeal. Our goal remains to ship all remaining units to backers as soon as this custom issue is cleared.
Inquiries about the above can be sent to [email protected] as this is our primary contact method.

Thanks! Is this a new version of the OS? Or a customized version?
Hii! Not sure if people are still using the watch.. I took it out last week and again remembered why I packed it back. The battery drain is just insane!
Was anyone able to get a different OS version installed on the watch,,? Is it even possible? What are this risks?
What are my options to experiment?
