New Hulu Bookmark App - Nexus One Themes and Apps

http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.hulu.bookmark/
Has anyone tested it yet?
I wonder if it actually plays video, or it's just browsing the site... The description is pretty bare.

Interesting...didn't they just re-block hulu on android yesterday? Since it clearly states that the developer isn't affiliated with hulu, I'd be very wary of dishing out money for something that will most likely get blocked by hulu.

Ok, so it seems to work, with a few caveats...no fullscreen?? High res takes you to the real hulu.com, which denies access based on platform.
As far as i can tell, this is the only way to successfully watch Hulu. Worth $1.50...until it gets blocked of course...

Wait, so all videos are playing? Or only a sub-set of Hulu's content?
If so, couldn't we just go to Hulu Mobile (somehow) via the browser and have it work? What URL does it take you to via the app?

I can confirm the videos do play, but this app is a mess...testing mobile site now, will report back

Use the app for more than 5 minutes then tell me its worth a penny. Need to go back to your homescreen? Good luck getting back to your video...The app opens a new instance of itself every time. No fullscreen? Tolerable. No way to exit the program? Ridiculous.
This dev doesnt deserve a dollar. Its just a cash grab. But Im sure the dev will appreciate suckers like you who think bookmarking a website qualifies as a paid app. What is it exactly that you are paying for? No thanks.
I encourage everyone with Froyo to try this out and report back here. Is it worth your money?

Sounds like it's certainly not worth it.
I'm just wondering, how are they doing this?
It must be just a website, minus the URL bar.
So what's that glorious URL that they're hiding?...

The truth is out there. Is there a way to monitor network traffic (urls) within the device? An app that will log all OS actions?

Not sure what app you're using i actually just responded to a text, googled something and just clicking on the app and it openend right where I left off. Whatever, just because I can get it to work and you can't doesn't mean you gotta get all pissy. and again let me remind you it's not even TWO DOLLARS HOLY CRAP!! that's less than a bottle of water at a baseball game.
I say it's worth it. But don't bother responding to me i wont be checking back.

Yep, identical, and its amazing how much more functional the site is when utilized through a proper browser...

good link, also you can use other browsers that allow hiding the task bar so you can get full screen. Skyfire works well for me.

Guys, please keep the flaming down. Also, no discussions about cracking or finding "workarounds" for paid apps are allowed in this site. That falls under the category of warez as well.
@FuzeAction, consider this a friendly warning.

Double tap goes to full screen too. I think it works better than regular Hulu site.

To be fair, it looks like this "paid app" is nothing more than a browser without the address bar. That's not very honest.

I would have to agree that this is not a "work around". Its just going to a website that already exists. Thats like saying going to the facebook mobile site is a "work around" for Bloo.
BTW anyone who installed this app... is it still working or has hulu blocked it?

I think because they are easy to code.
Fortunately I have read the Google faq and the question of apps flooding the market is asked.
This is the answer:
Currently there are technical limitations to being able to upload an App Inventor app to the Andorid Market but we are actively evaluating the best way to integrate with the Market.

Download the source from Google App inventor and find the code that gets detected and change it around a bit.
Thats how most things get past detection.
HOWEVER, I will not do this of course, I am going to use App inventor for personal apps or publish it out of the market.
I have a strange thing how I learn programming, I tend to learn more from examples of code and I have learned LUA(For Gmod) and PAWN(for AMXX) but those are scripting languages.
Some App inventor apps might be worth to be on the market.
There is already lots of messy apps out there but the rating system takes care of that.
I got my invite Monday but haven't got around to trying it out yet, but i don't think you'll be able to make complex apps with this i might take a look at it next week if i get a chance i'll let ya'll know if its really game changing or not .

Beejive Out

Beta is out, if its ok I will post.
Got my invite as well. So far looking good. Nice GUI plus response. I find it WAY faster than Trillian Beta, although some Skype and Video exchange might be good for next release
The end of the email reads:
"Also, please understand that the build is only for folks who have registered with us for the beta program and is not intended to be shared with any one. "
So now I ask you. Do you think its ok to post it?

That's cute, but why should someone have to Google something that someone's advertising. Obviously if you announce that something out its to garner interest, no? With that being the case, ways the harm in typing even a one sentence description? Seems pretty common sense.
And I just realized that the last two responses before that post could've been a simple description as well, but acting like someone doesn't know what Google is in an Android forum seems to take priority over posting something useful.
Anyways for anyone who doesn't know, it's a messenging client for multiple services. I love things like trillian on my pc so ill be waiting for this one
I'm on it now, it rules. I just pray that it doesn't become a permanent beta like the wm version

this is a pretty popular app, thats why I didnt bother getting into detail, and Trillian has been out for beta use for the public, not a fan , and im sure you will say that when you use it.

Question about downloading .apk

I have one question. If i found aplication that is not free on market but posted online like .apk and I download to pc. After that transfer to my phone via usb then install on it, am i going to be chargred for that app or there is no way that anyone can charge me or know that i have one? Thanks.

No, you will not be charged for it.
I should remind you that this is piracy, which is not encouraged.

i am not condoning piracy, but yes it is possible to just download an app from the web. appbrain does a good (but accidental) job of telling you when they need updates. you will need to find another version online though to manually update.
applanet is baisically all this but inside a single app. it is a pirated android market. once again, i dont encourage piracy, niether do i use it.

As someone who develops Android apps - please just go pay for it. We put a lot of effort into making these things and it's only a few dollars. The dollar you just saved was food you just took off someones table.
That said, any Android developer worth his salt should have already implemented the Market License feature. The new license model can remotely validate that your copy is legit and allows the developer to respond how they choose.
In my apps, I lock you out and show a nag screen with a market link... but I know some devs who just quietly phone home with your device ID and phone number.

[Q] Can some one please help me make an app?

Here is the app I have but would like something better.
zombiesaresexy.com/Zombie_Android_App/App_1/zombiesaresexy.apk
So I started a site called zombiesaresexy.com and have wanted an app for it from day one.
The site is built on Wordpress and I just want a simple app that pulls in the RSS feeds and allows people to read the full post from the app.
I have tried App Inventor for Android but have no luck making heads or tails of it.
If anyone would want to help out (make it and share with me how its done) or just has a good framework for something like this that would be great.
Really, I have seen a lot of people wanting there own App this just pulls in the RSS from there site so I am amazed there is not a framework so people can just plug and play.
But any help would be great!
Thanks!
Ok, is there anyone that would build on for money?
I don't mind paying for it and would nit mind having adds in the app so your could make money that way to.
Send me a pm if you want the job and give me a price.

Yeah but I am wanting this app to hand out on my site.
How much you willing to pay?
I dont know the time it would take to do this app.
But if its not to hard I will pay $50
If it is something that will take a lot of time and work We can work on the price.
Also to help me keep the cost down I am willing to have the google ads on it. in hopes that who ever makes the app can make a few bucks that way.
Id be glad to help you for free, XDA isn't about paying for service, its about sharing knowledge and helping users
That would be really cool!!
If you check out the .apk I have linked to, I am ok with it being simple as that.
The only things I rally care about is that it has an icon, the app I have now just uses a slandered android icon
And it reading the full post from the app and linking to the post if they want to comment.
There are a few parts to the site.
Main post
stories
video
questions
But all get pulled in with the rss feed
http://zombiesaresexy.com/feed/
So I am not sure if it is just as easy as pulling in the feeds?
Also, I hope to get this on the Android market but it is just something I want to hand out to readers.

If you want to hire a developer to do it, you're probably looking at $1000 or more in the end. $50 doesn't really cut it.
Yeah I got a few quotes and the range was from $700 to $900.
Not really the money I want to spend just for having fun on a site so I thought I would ask here.
If I dont get any where with it I am ok with that and will looking it to making an app on my own latter down the road when I have time to learn what it takes.
But as you can see someone has offered to make me app. So I am happy with that and even tho he said he did not want money for it I will donate something thing.

[APP] Netflix apk...on android!!!

Hey guys check it out here's a link for Netflix for android came from lg revolution system dump load fine but can't stream...if ya want to try and can figure out what wrong
MOD EDIT: Links removed. Sorry; this is questionable at best.
Things that are wrong, system checks for correct device and DRM.
Wow this would be awesome. Please help fix!
Lulz, I suspended my Netflix account when I saw they weren't making their app available to all handsets. If someone makes it work reliably... nahh... **** Netflix and their bull. Torrent + Rock Player 4 life.
I have it running on my n1. It lets me manage my queue, as well as search Netflix's library. However when I try to stream a video it tells me that it cannot connect to Netflix. Oh well. Still nice to use the official app to manage my queue.

I agree. I for one as a Netflix subscriber would love to have this working on my Nexus One, let's keep the piracy out of it so this thread stays open and the Devs get to work
Has anyone been able to extract the system dump? Always get an 'unexpected end of archive' error. Tried three times. Really need to see what's in the lib folder.
This message approved by Skynet.
Streaming issues aside, I wish Netflix and their dev could work on improving the browsing performance on the app. Even on WP7 and iOS the loading of movies when you are browsing around takes a while.
Has anyone tried to change build.prop yet? Possibly tricking Netflix into thinking you are using a LG rev?
Not sure how to get DRM going though. :/

This sounds promising. But I am certain that hardware DRM is envolved in someway. Bypassing this could be challanging.
