Edit: Doesnt work for CM but works on every other rom

didnt work here

same followed it to the letter

what rom are you'll using and what problems did you have?

Will this work in CM6?

I compared your new file to the file already on my phone with CM6 and, aside from the timestamps, it was identical.

2.2, Modded Flash version and Hulu

UPDATE: It seems that this only works on the 2.2 roms that are de-odexed... It doesn't work on the plain one that first hit. It is confirmed to work in the following roms:
Sky Raider 2.0
Sky Raider 1.9b
Desensitize Sky Raider 2.2 by jitajt
Not sure how many of you follow the other areas of the site or not... anyways, the guys over on the nexus one area have been enjoying Hulu on their Froyo roms for a while now. I've only seen a couple HTC Inc folks in the original thread so maybe people just don't know about it...
Big thanks goes out to rcxquake as he's the one that created the modified version of flash.
Original instructions for Nexus one are here
Modified Directions (i'll expand these out after I do it again tomorrow):
1) remove flash from your install... most likely it is in the /system/app folder, I hadn't run any flash sites yet so I simply renamed the install_flash_player.apk to install_flash_player.apkb Here's a quick set of instructions for you:
1) Connect phone and enable debuging mode.
2) open a command prompt and go into your sdk/tools folder. run "adb reboot recovery"
3) in the cmd prompt type in "adb shell"
4) On the phone once its loaded up recovery in to partitions menu and mount /system
5) in the adb shell type in "cd /system/app"
5) to rename the flash installer type in "mv install_flash_player.apk install_flash_player.apkb"
7) in ADB tell it "exit"
8) on the phone unmount system and data (not sure if this is necessary or not)​Exit out of recovery and verify you don't have flash installed anymore under settings \ applications \ Manage Applications \ All applications.
2) Download the fixed flash version via rcxquake's thread to your pc and move it to your sd card(direct link to file)
3) Install the downloaded APK file via your favorite file browser (astro for example)
4) If you want to look at the full version of the website, you'll need to enable a special mode in the browser, here's the directions care of the original thread:
1. In the search/address bar of the android browser type "about:debug" without the double quotes.
2. Press Menu
3. Tap More>Settings
4. Go to UAString and change it to desktop.​5) If you want to access the site without setting up the debug mode listed above, Adam B was awesome enough to utilize the Hulu widget page to create a premodded app that you can simply click and watch. Here's his original post and here's a direct link to his APK.
SIDE NOTE If you run his Hulu.apk app, your lock screen will not come up after using it... to remedy this you have to kill it with a task killer... I have emailed him to see if this is something that could be remedied.
Anyways, I hope this helps some others get this going...
I tried this, and read through all of the Nexus One thread, and I still get "Hulu requires Flash Player 10.0.22 or higher. Please download and install the latest version of Flash Player before continuing".
Tried it in recovery (adb install), Astro, and AppInstaller. It shows up as installed in Application Management but doesn't load on any website. The only thing that there was to install (that I could find) was "install_flash_player.apk" in /system/app/.
Hulu and 2.2, its Christmas in July!
Having to manually kill the app sucks but it's hulu on my Droid!
Only other issue really is the border in fullscreen mode.
Btw the app works great, if you can't get it to work try a reboot.

Do you need the app? It sounded like about:debug should cover it, but it doesn't really answer why other pages don't load Flash.

Tried everything as well. Seems this version of flash doesn't play well on the HTC Incredible. Any chance someone can tweak this to get it working?
works well on the skyrider 2.0 rom only issue is i ave adfree and the hulu app can play cuz im blocking adds and the browser has no UAstring

Yea thats the file you need to rename "mv install_flash_player.apk install_flash_player.apkb" then your all good.
so far i've only tested on the sky raider one... at the end of the day yesterday we tried the same steps on the regular 2.2 rom on an additional inc someone had at the office (the original full leak) and were unsuccessful. I'm going to flash my phone over to regular as I have an issue with sky raider and syncing, I'll see what I can come up with on getting to work on that one as well.
Works!
Works great, I followed the instructions and was watching hulu in minutes.

for the life of me, I cannot get this to work with the plain 2.2.... so, what all is changed in sky raider and your rom that's enabling it....
I tried applying adrynalyne's market fix thinking maybe it just needed to think it was on a nexus... no go.
So, what else is changed in the modded roms?

[NEW GAPPS.ZIP & APK] New Android Market [2.2.6] for G1(Android 2.1&2.2)[16/12/2010]

[NEW GAPPS.ZIP & APK] New Android Market [2.2.6] for G1(Android 2.1&2.2)[16/12/2010]
EDIT: I've put the new gapps.zip to update all ur gapps . This has to work : ) Just flash this from the recovery . It'll overwrite your old gapps , giving you the latest of all the basic gapps (incl.the new Market )
You can then go to the new market and install the updated Gmail,Voice Search,Google Search,Maps,Youtube app etc.
New Android Market (version 2.2.6) features include:
1.Refund window changing to 15 minutes
2.New carousel with featured apps on main page
3.Widgets and Live Wallpapers categories added
4.Related content added to app page
5.Single page app viewing, all info in one place
6.Max size for apk files increased from 25 MB to 50 MB
Also the Downloads now get paused instead of getting cancelled if there is a network/data interruption
I am not making a flashable update since it might clash with the original Vending.apk . So here are the steps to remove the old market and install the new one.
1) Use adb to remove and install the new market.
a) adb remount
b)Backup your current Market by
adb pull /system/app/Vending.apk Vending.apk
c) adb shell rm /system/app/Vending.apk
Rename the apk you downloaded (MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE RIGHT APK FOR ECLAIRS OR FROYO) to Market.apk and put the apk in the Android SDK/tools folder then
adb push Market.apk /system/app
OR
Simply use your favourite Root File Manager (Root Explorer ,SU explorer , Android Commander etc.) and go to /system/app and delete Vending.apk .
Then put the New Market apk in /system/app
Restart your phone and you're good to go

P.S: I'm not a regular thread creator so kindly move the thread if the section is wrong . Thanks
ENJOY !

Make sure you restart your phone and follow my instructions carefully.
Also try running fix permissions from recovery incase it doesnt help.

You cannot replace or manage Android phone system files through normal File managers like Astro,Linda etc.
Best way I recommend is to Use Android Commander and follow the steps for installing without adb commands.

i installed thru recovery and works great
on my G1 with 6.1 2708 is great. install via adb
why I do not see the category widgets and live wallpaper?
Hey..
Pity, it doesn't work for me.
I did it with the Root Explorer. Installation suceeded but i get a "force close" error message, when i try to select a program from the list or to go to "my downloads".

Tmobile G1
EZterry 14mb radio/spl
Mytouch3g OTA 2.2.1 updated
Here is the link with the QR code, just use your favorite QR scanner and then open via url or open in browser. It should then start a download, after its done just follow the on screen directions to install (it back-up's the installed markets user data then deletes it and installs the new market. http : // androidspin . com / 2010 / 12 / 11 / new-android-market-update-unofficially-available-for-download/

Hello HellRazorGod. I have a G1. And I just got it rooted with Cyanogen 2.2 Froyo ROM. But then as you know, cyanogenMod doesn't come with google apps anymore. And then so I tried your android market maybe it will work. And before I downloaded yours, I found many market apk files from other source. But then it still wound't work. But when I tried yours. Still didn't work. I tried AndroidCommander. Adb and still with the same results. I open it, and it is just all white, and after about 5 seconds go back to desktop screen. I tried every possible way. And tried all your steps. Even with the AndroidCommander. Can you help me out? I have a Android 2.2 Froyo Cyanogen 6.1.0 DS ROM. Would really appreciate it.
fart23 did you download the gapps .zip file and then flash it after you flashed your rom. if not then you need to go check out cyanogens wiki how to root/install cyanogen rom.

100% Working Hulu on Infuse 4G

After working on this all day and bricking once or twice, I finally found the files needed....
YOU NEED TO INSTALL ALL 3 Components for it to work perfectly if you are on Froyo. Else just Component 1 and 3
Component 1 (Hulu Mobile App)
Install Mobile Hulu.apk attached here as well. Easy Peazy (One Time Only)....
Skip Component 2, if you have a GB ROM. If you have no idea if you have a GB ROM (i.e. Serendipity, Justice Roms, Infusion 2.0+, Anything with Hellraiser in it), then you really shouldnt' be modifying stuff......
Component 2: For slow voices fix
StageFright removal (One time install only):
This is from Adrynalyne. Thanks so much for this fix! Took me all day to track this file that is phone neutral and test!
1.Extract all files from StageFright.zip attached to this post
2.Copy all files extracted to /system/lib
3.Reboot and you are set forever.
Note: Confirmed to work with m.youtube.com app and hulu and movies. YAY!
Component 3: Hacked flash to work with Infuse 4G
Excerpt instructions for Infuse (Needs to be redone everytime you reboot):
1.Update Flash to current Market version (10.3.185.23)
2.Extract libflashplayer.so from libflashplayer.zip attached to this post
3.Copy libflashplayer.so to /sdcard
4.Copy libflashplayer.so from /sdcard to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib using root explorer, adb, or a terminal. I recommend making an extra copy of the modified libflashplayer.so in case it's replaced on reboot.
5.Make sure the permissions for libflashplayer.so are rwxr-xr-x (chmod 755).
NOTE:
FOR MOBILE HULU BUT if you stall all 3 components, you can play hulu directly from the site.
LANDSCAPE MODE WORKS FINE! Go to settings | select orientation | select any and you are done!

Done the flash part again without rebooting, video plays now but with slow audio. Any fix for that? Also can't be watched in landscape?

If you reboot you need to do the flash thing again. The mobile app does not play in landscape, BUT you can go to hulu's website and play the movies directly from there through the browser!

[Q] How to get gapps-jb-xxx.zip file under JB

I just installed the latest JB file from CM10, as announced on the site. The installation went smoothly, and without any problem. However, in the instructions provided, there was a link to the Google Apps for this version, named gapps-jb-20120717-signed.zip. I also downloaded the file, and it is also put under /sdcard on my tablet. But I can't install this zip file. I have CWM version 5.8.3.1 installed, which seemed to work fine with this CM JellyBean. I am getting an error message about the zip file when trying to install the Google Apps file mentionned above. On the announcement page with the links to download the files, they only give the links to the two -signed.zip files. I assumed that both zip files should be installed the same way, but it appears they are not. Can anyone help me ?
NB: I use the Samsung Docking station/keyboard. Anyone had any issue with this before ?
Thank
Extract the apk's from the zip folder and install them normally! Few apps won't install this way. Put those apk's in "system/app" and change the permission to rw-r--r--
Reboot your phone and the apps should be there!

Bad file
Although the file was pointed properly in the page, the actually downloaded file had a mad MD5 checksum, which was not displayed on the download link, only on the download page. I also noticed that after restarting, I had a strange display, where instead of having the default green wallpaper, I was having lines of random color bars. Another reboot, and it now seems to be fine again.
I also mentioned that I have this Samsung keyboard that attaches to the tablet, and has a replication port. The keys on the top, like Back, Home, etc, seem to work only half the time. More testing will be required on this.
Good Idea !

That's an idea, and I will also look at this. I guess this is what will give me the Google Apps program so I can re-download and/or reinstall the programs that I used to have under HoneyComb 3.2.
Thanks. I will try this too. :
