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?

Always perform a nandroid backup before attempting any mods.
This is a tutorial on how to change the music widget to the one of your liking. It doesn't matter if you have the Dude build and want the G build widget or have the G build and want the 1.5Hr1 widget. This will work for any cupcake (Android 1.5) user who is not happy with their current music widget. I use a windows PC and I am not a Linux guru so I'm not going to attempt to tweak my tutorial for Linux users. Hopefully it's not to hard for them to figure it out from this. (I think it's just file path differences, maybe?)
First step is to have ADB commands working on your computer. Follow this link if you don't know how to do this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
Now that you have ADB, you have to download the appropriate music player/widget that you prefer.
This one is for installing the dark blue music widget with the off-center play/pause button and the transparent record and needle logo. My personal favorite for looks, but has a play/pause with a easy to miss touch area.
http://rapidshare.com/files/227653807/Music_fancy_widget_G_build.apk
This one is for installing the plain white and pale blue music widget with rectangular shape and the large play/pause button with it's large touch area.
http://rapidshare.com/files/227653907/Music_standard_build.apk
This third option is for future development. You can "harvest" a third music widget/player from a third source that doesn't yet exist using the ADB pull command. Lets say your using build X, but build Y has a theme available and you love the themed music widget on themed build Y. What you do is perform a nandroid backup of your current build so you can return to it later and install build Y and then theme it. (Don't waist your time setting up your settings because you won't be on this build for long. Just make sure USB debugging is enabled in settings > Applications > Development so you can use ADB.) You can skip this step if you have access to a friends phone who's already running the music player/widget you want. Connect the USB cable to the phone and go into where you run your ADB commands in Command Prompt on your PC. Type in this command.
adb pull system/app/Music.apk c:\your_path_here
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The "system/app/Music.apk" part of the command is case sensitive. This will create the Music.apk with the widget you want at the path you specify. Next you can use Fastboot to restore your nandroid backup of build X. (Nandroid saves everything. It's as if you never left.)
Next step is to rename the downloaded file "Music.apk". It's case sensitive and take note of the folder path it's in.
Next, enter the following ADB commands from the appropriate place in Command Prompt. (Start > Run > type "cmd")
adb remount
adb shell rm -r system/app/Music.apk
adb push c:\your_path_here\Music.apk system/app
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
"system/app/Music.apk" and "system/app" parts are both case sensitive.
saying no such directory, would apps to sd card cause that, and ifso what would i instead need to put in?
i never knew there was a difference between the music widgets...
whats different about them?
the gui??

On the last step, adb push, dont just put your directory, put in the file name also, Music.apk. For example, i put the file on my C directory to make it easy, so I typed "adb push c:\Music.apk system/app" without the "".
FYI - I have Apps2SD and I used the above command. Guess that doesn't make a difference, assuming because the symlinks say so? I'm such a Linux noob!!!!

I'm not a frequent Linux user, but I know a couple of commands. You could download the apk file to your sdcard and try this. This method is not recommended!
su
rm -r system/app/Music.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will delete your old music player. Next, you can just install the new music player apk through Apps Installer or whatever you use in it's place. This will allow you to use the new music player as if it was any other 3rd party app. However, I recommend uninstalling it and doing it through the ADB push when you get home.
yeah the app installer method didn't work for me

Did you delete the original Music.apk first? Do you have cupcake, or are you using JF RC33 like it says in your sig? This music player has a widget embedded and needs cupcake. If neither of these is the problem, then just use the adb push commands in the first post. I don't recommend using apk installer. I just posted that to help out someone who was too impatient to get home to his pc.

the steps given in the first post work perfectly...!!!

If someone could post screenshots of the different UIs, that'd be great.
For some reason, when I pushed the Music.apk it worked fine, but when I tried to do the same thing with the CalendarProvider.apk, it didn't....
This method works for me as well. How do you take screenshots with the new builds?
CalendarProvider.apk... Just do a normal .apk installation.
Does this only work for Rooted phones as when I try it I get permission denied
Code:
C:\android\tools>adb shell rm -r system/app/Music.apk
rm failed for system/app/Music.apk, Read-only file system
C:\android\tools>adb shell

music.apk
can someone post some different download links for the two different music.apk builds? rapidshare has always hated me and will still not let me download either of them saying that my ip address is already downloading something. thanks.
Can someone post pics of all the music widgets in order to compare them?
A friendly forum member provided me with some files to install for applications included in most roms available... voicedialer and footprints.
I succesfully installed VoiceDialer.apk by following these commands..
1. adb push VoiceDialer.apk /data/local/tmp
2. adb shell pm install /data/local/tmp/VoiceDialer.apk
3. adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/VoiceDialer.apk
Tried it right away, and it indeed worked. I usually just install apps from the downloaded file manager but figured I'd expand my horizons and try it this way. I don't recognize this way of doing it, I thought it was basically adb push /system/apps_s (or something like that), but this is all I could find quickly on how to do it.
None the less, I tried the same thing with Footprints, and was given this error via adb..
"Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]"
Google result..
"Installation return code: this is passed to the IPackageInstallObserver by installPackage(android.net.Uri, IPackageInstallObserver, int) if the new package failed while optimizing and validating its dex files, either because there was not enough storage or the validation failed."
All chinese to me
So I tried installing Footprints via linda file manager.. and get the genreal "footprints could not be installed on this phone"
I also have .odex files for both the footprints app, and the footprints widget app.. i don't know if odex files are necessary though, as the system might create them on their own
Can anyone help me with how to install Footprints? I Don't understand why Voice Dialer installed but Footprints is no go..
Thank you.
edit: forgot to mention.. voicedialer does not seem to work quite right. I tell it exactly what to do.. "call joe blow on mobile" and it still pops open an option screen for joe blow, and if i click on one of the options it force closes. But saying "open calendar" seems to work. Just not phone numbers i guess?
Any ideas anyone?
Try
adb remount
adb push Footprints.apk /system/app/Footprints.apk
adb push Footprints.odex /system/app/Footprints.odex
What'st he difference between system/app and system/app_s? Is app_s just a different link to the app directory or is it something different?
giberish
isnt footprints a thing from hero? it might be the fact you are using a non hero rom? alot of hero apps seem to be closely tied in with hero overlay making it unusable for a non hero rom. which rom are you using?

Hey guys,
I haven't really given anything to XDA but have taken a lot. So I thought, I'd share this with ya. I think it's freaking awesome.
I flashed it via ADB on my Nexus One, and it works perfectly, and I'm using Rodriguez Froyo ROM, so it should work for most of ya.
Directions:
1. Put the zip file in your tools folder from the android-sdk-windows
2. Load up Command Prompt (cmd) and go to your tools directory inside the android-sdk-windows folder
3. Load up your phone into recovery and mount /system
4. Type in command prompt
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot

I just pushed it right after installing the new Rodriguez ROM with the new paul r17 release and I got this issue, so Im not sure if you did the same, it actually went into a boot loop for me, so I re-wyped everything did another install, rebooted the phone and waited for it to boot into the main screen.
Then I rebooted, and then I pushed it. Then it worked fine.
For some reason it reminded me of the Super Street Fighter 2 sequence when Ryu charges up a fireball then throws it towards the screen. Any Street Fighter fans here know what I'm talking about? Anyway, I'm going ttotry this out. It looks awesome...wonder if anyone could make a Transforming Title, but use the words Nexus One.
Weird, I pushed it using Root Explorer and the bootanimation was the word Android with light shining across it. This happened to me before and once before that it was the word Android but with a Spot Light going back and forth, like the 20th Century Fox scene from the movies.

Anyone else notice the resolution in the text file is set to 480x854? Which is droid or milestone resolution.
The uploader might want too change it to the nexus resolution, 480 800, if not I will do it when I get off work and get home. Atleast on my phone I will change it.

Using Root Explorer…
1. You have to be rooted in order to do this. Rooting info here and here.
2. Download Root Explorer from the market.
3. Download the Droid Life boot anim: bootanimation.zip (alt link)
4. If you downloaded via PC, mount your Droid and drop the .zip file onto your SD card.
5. Unmount your Droid.
6. Open Root Explorer, tap on “sdcard” and locate bootanimation.zip.
7. Long press on bootanimation.zip and choose “Move”.
8. Hit the back button once and locate the “data” folder.
9. Tap and open “data” and then “local”.
10. Hit “Paste” which should be an option at the bottom of your screen.
11. If there is already a bootanimation.zip file, let Root Explorer overwrite it.
12. Back out of Root Explorer, reboot your phone, and BAM!
13. Enjoy your new Droid Life boot animation.
Found this
Teeter is one of the few games I play on my Evo (when I'm not playing Angry Birds or Drop), but recently, I decided to switch between MIUI and CM for a while.
At first, when I couldn't find it in the Market, I figured I would just copy it from Myn's /system/app/ folder and install it manually in CM. Needless to say, it didn't work.
Shortly after, I found an unlocked version in, I think, the MyTouch 3g forum, but it's too low res to play. So, I was hoping that it wouldn't be too much trouble for someone here to unlock the Evo apk for me. I tried to attach the original apk, but for some reason, I couldn't upload it from my phone, so here's a link to my dropbox.
Edit: now i can post links
http://db.tt/WD1OJ2F
I'm flashing from myns warm to miui and didn't realize teeter isn't on the market. Have you had any luck finding a version for any rom?
I found a version for Desire, but Amon RA won't flash it. I just resigned it with signapktic, and I'm about to test it.
weehooherod said:
Take the tether game out of /system/app from a rom that has it. Push it over to /system/app on your new rom. Just plug in your phone and run the adb commands.
adb remount
adb push C:\wherever\you\put\the\file.apk /system/app
adb reboot
Or just install Root Explorer ($2) and copy the tether.apk file from your memory card and then go to the system app folder. Push the R/W button at the top right of the screen, it should now say R/O. Then paste the apk inside that /system/app folder and reboot.
Either way, it will install itself.

I think the main problem is that the stock teeter game checks for Sense-related files. I could be wrong, though. I'll try your way and report back. I had some file zipping problems (ES file explorer messes up the directory structure), so signapktic didn't quite work.

tether.apk is not the teeter game, that is the app file for the tethering application for the sprint hotspot.
[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

I have SparksMOD . It should work on all CM 6.1 (Android 2.2.1) and all Froyo ROMS.
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".
Changing back to the old one without problems.

I used the qr code/barcode scanner in the following link and followed the on-screen instructions. Took it a few minutes but it worked and I have no errors.

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/

No I installed it the normal way, thru the installer, it took about 2-3 minutes to open for the first time, but no I didn't need to go thru adb or recovery or root explorer

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

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.
