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 2.2 You can just use his flash installer app on the SD card
Sky Raider 2.1
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) (this step is not needed on Skyraider 2.2 as the author has already removed the installer file for you, he has also included the correct version of flash on the SD card) 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?

Asteroid, how did you get it working on the 8/1 leak? Did you simply remove install_flash_player.apk and install the modded flash player? I attempted to do so, and got the blue plugin icon on flash content.
I actually had a flash player installation backed up in Titanium that I had restored. I uninstalled that, just using regular old Uninstaller, and when I checked /system/app in root explorer, I didn't see any evidence of a flash install.
Then installed the modified version from Astro, made the "about:debug" changes mentioned, and we're up and running.
I'm not sure why, but maybe if you install the standard flash beta, uninstall it, then install the modified version that will work?

I know there are 3(or more) existing swype threads. I KNOW THIS. I just threw my swype kb file folder from black glass into the full version swype for those that wanted a BlackGlass swype that didnt know how to do it themselves. Get it HERE. If any one wants a new color lemme know and ill put it up when i get a chance, so we have more colors to choose from.
If you cant get it make sure you hav3 done the following:
for those who are getting expired messages try removing all traces of Swype:
1. In terminal,
Code:
rm /data/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk
2. In terminal,
Code:
rm -r /data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod
3. Clear your dalvik-cache
I've not gotten an expiration yet, but hopefully this works for you

its always worked for me. Im currently using this exact apk in my rom. Not sure what the problem could be. You can always take the libs from it and throw them in your roms lib folder (using root explorer on an already installed system), thats how i make it work out of the box in my mods. It should just install, i normally use andro or root exp to install apps that werent included in the rom. Root commander works great too. I dont use adb for apk installation.
I tried pushing it first then used Astro to install

right on. if not pm n ill get it going for you. i have a few diff. copies,but this is the one im currently using. I had to mess with it some to get it to work with a new rom install(its a choice from get go) so i learned a little about installing it
Not working for me either... used Linda and Estrongs file explorers... neither worked.
Do you need a previous version of Swype installed for it to work?
Won't install for me either

The way it worked for me, I had to adb remove swype first, then download to SD and then use astro to install
Yeah im going to guess if you had swype previously installed this one probably wont install for you.
the **** doesnt install anyway i tried, i did have it previously, what folder do i adb pull from?
I used Advanced task manager to uninstall my previous version, then Estrongs File Explorer to install this one, works fine for me. Thanks!

system/app...you will probably need to list the files to see exactly what its named to remove.
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/app
ls
rm whateveritsnamed.apk
This is a developer site right? Well this is just an app install. I put it up to help ppl out not piss them off. Ive listed the best way to do it and it works FLAWLESSLY. Please do the following or listen to my previous instructions before threadbombing...This is not hard, so please calm down and try not to get upset. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
INSTRUCTIONS
1)REMOVE ANY EXISTING SWYPE YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE
2)MAKE SURE ITS ACTUALLY GONE(it can be pesky to remove)
3)DOWNLOAD THE APK TO SD
4)USE ANDROZIP FILE EXPLORER TO INSTALL THE FILE(i think astro works too)
5)ENABLE YOUR SWYPE OPTION FROM settings/language keyboards
6)LONG PRESS ON A TEXT ENTRY FIELD
7)TAP INPUT METHOD
8)CHOOSE SWYPE TO USE IT
And lastly if this does not work for you and you still really want swype i have a rom i just put up yesturday that has swype,android kb, and htc kb included and you just select whichever you want to use(no installing anything). Good luck AND MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU(im not a star wars freak, just seemed like the right thing to say)
Thanks, was missing my black kb, any chance we could get the micro black version? Mine quit on me yesterday morning
I did not do this, I only remembered it from when I had my nexus, so I thought I would share here, because I'm sure many of you do not check the nexus forum. It works, 100%, I've tested it myself on build 7 of CM6 nightly.
All credit goes to rcxquake.
Here is the link to the original thread... HERE
Here are his instructions. I just renamed the file so it was a little shorter. my changes are colored.
This is a modified flash apk file that enables you to watch hulu on your rooted, froyo-running android device. It is my project to return to the community. Please only use this fix if you know what you are doing, as I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Instructions:
1.) UNINSTALL FLASH
2.) Download the .apk
3.) adb install nexusflash.apk (or your preferred method of installing the .apk)
4.) apply the ABOUT: DEBUG fix if you haven't already (both fixes are required) (Alternative option provided below)
5.) watch hulu!
The about:debug fix is that in the browser address field, type 'about:debug', without quotes, and then hit 'go'. then, in the browser settings, at the bottom of the settings list you will see 'uastring'. change it to say 'desktop', instead of 'android'
Adam B. has requested I link to his post on a .apk that automatically applies the useragent (step 4), so you don't have to. Find it here. Install his .apk just like you installed nexusflash.apk.
Changelog:
June 17- Updated to Version 10.1.72.7
June 09- Updated to Version 10.1.72.4
Enjoy!
If you don't understand the directions, I suggest you use the SEARCH function. I will absolutely NOT answer questions that you can find the answer to on your own.
QA:
Q: I upgraded to FRF72, and the flash.apk isn't working. What is wrong?
A: You lost root. Root your phone to get this .apk working again.
Q: I am running Froyo on my droid / other non-nexus phone. Will this flash.apk work?
A: Maybe. This apk appears to work on recent froyo roms, but not older.

THERE IS A NEW FLASH PLAYER ON THE MARKET I WOULD RECOMMEND NOT UPDATING UNLESS YOU REALLY WANNA RISK LOSING HULU
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These fixes are no the actual hulu app or even a change to the hulu app at all. It is a fix which roles back the version of stagefright which just so happens to be the fix for the demon voices.
This may negativity effect Youtube, Pandora, and xm radio.
I MADE AN UPDATE ZIP THAT
I HAVE CONFIRMED WORKING BY donnyevo4g and several others
I have tested it myself
So try it out I need feedback!!
Make a Backup first just flash and your done. (The zip is called Hulufix.zip)
This zip roles back stagefright and fixes demon voices.
****IF THIS WORKS DISREGARD ALL BELOW****
*****MAKE A NANDROID BACK UP BEFORE ANY OF THIS*****
Here are basic instructions for using adb. Thank you rutter9 for the files and how he did it.
1. Unzip the contents into your android-sdk tools folder
2. adb reboot recovery
3. In recovery go to partitions and select mount\system
4. adb remount
5. Than use these adb commands
Code:
adb push libstagefrighthw.so /system/lib/libstagefrighthw.so
adb push libstagefright_omx.so /system/lib/libstagefright_omx.so
adb push libstagefright_color_conversion.so /system/lib/libstagefright_color_conversion.so
adb push libstagefright_avc_common.so /system/lib/libstagefright_avc_common.so
adb push libstagefright_amrnb_common.so /system/lib/libstagefright_amrnb_common.so
adb push libstagefright.so /system/lib/libstagefright.so
6. In partitions menu unmount/system
7. adb reboot
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The other way for those who don't like or use clockwork recovery. This time i'm giving thanks to JTNiggle (who has done a lot on this thread thanks )
Okay, i'll give this my best shot here, not my fault if your phone burns down your house. As always, nandroid before, during, after and in between.
First, download the attachments from this post. Unzip Hulu Working Stagefright.zip and place it's contents in your sdk tools folder. Also place Hulu.apk and flash-fixed.apk in the sdk tools folder.
Part 1 (If you don't already have hulu app with flash fix)
On ur phone, open Root Explorer, (or whatever file manager you use but Root Explorer is the best) and navigate to /system/app, make sure you have full permissions set and mounted as r/w. Find all the flash apk's, some ROM's have two, some have one. Their actual names vary, so look thoroughly. Just rename them to something like flash.apk.old, this way you can rename them back if something goes wrong.
Now, still in Root Explorer, navigate to /system/lib, make sure you have full permissions set and mounted as r/w. After that, close the explorer and plug your phone into your pc.
Open up a command promt and navigate to your sdk tools folder where you placed the downloaded files.
Run these commands, one at a time, tapping enter after each one.
Code:
adb push flash-fixed.apk /system/app/
adb push Hulu.apk /system/app/
Now, on your phone, go back into Root Explorer, and navigate to /system/app, find the apk's you just pushed. Tap each one and pick install, follow prompts from there to finish the install. Close the explorer when finished.
If you want, at this point, you can try and open up Hulu on your phone, and see how it's running. The video should start playing fine, but you'll have the demon voices, no biggie, we'll fix that in a minute. If the video wont play at all, and you get a message like, not optimized for your device, or not supported on your platform, then Flash did not install properly. Check everything and re-do the above steps until you get video playback on Hulu. I've had to run through it twice to get it to work sometimes.
Part 2 Once you have hulu and you want to fix demon voices
Now, back to the command promt from your sdk tools folder. Run these commands one at a time, tapping enter after each one.
Code:
adb push libstagefright.so /system/lib/
adb push libstagefright_amrnb_common.so /system/lib/
adb push libstagefright_avc_common.so /system/lib/
adb push libstagefright_color_conversion.so /system/lib/
adb push libstagefright_omx.so /system/lib/
adb push libstagefrighthw.so /system/lib/
Now that all the files are in the proper places, you can reboot, so run
Code:
adb reboot
once your phone boots up, it should be good to go. If not,
This may provide mix results. This is a temporary fix
Good Luck
Confirmed working or not working

I'm going to try this out when I get home tonight and see if I can't put together an apk that will work with hulu.
I've taken a stab at editing the GLES optimized flash APK from here to work with the Hulu "fix".
I'm still waiting on my replacement tablet to come in, but it might be helpful for someone. You'll have to uninstall your old version of flash.

Can someone try the libflashplayer.so file attached and see if if works for them. Then maybe someone with more knowledge than me can package it into the apk.

Flash still works on gtablet but no hulu. Still asks for flash upgrade. Sure would be nice to get this working if at all possible.

Is this with my APK? Have you changed your useragent? Any chance of a screenshot or the exact error text?

When you go to Hulu, it says you need flash player 10.0.32 or higher. When I replaced just my so file with the original apk it worked, I was able to create an apk successfully now, but I also get this same issue, so not sure what is going on. Is there something else in the apk that needs to be changed besides the libflashplayer.so file?

That should be it...
Try with my hulu app from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6888650&postcount=139
It sets your User Agent to desktop and loads their mobile site. You can also hit "Menu -> Test Flash" to see what version of flash hulu will see.

Ok, seems to have fixed itself. I think the system didn't think flash was installed at all and once it settled down or maybe reboot helped I was able to get it to work in Dolphin and the Hulu app. I tried this with the stuff I was working on and the apk you posted and both work, so all looks good.
Thanks for getting this working, nice to have hulu working on this. Anyone else want to try this out and verify it is working?
EDIT: This seems to be intermittent, I get a circle with ! after some time of playing. Maybe the flash crashing?

I've taken a stab at editing the GLES optimized flash APK from here to work with the Hulu "fix".
I'm still waiting on my replacement tablet to come in, but it might be helpful for someone. You'll have to uninstall your old version of flash.

I performed the following:
1) Uninstall-ed FLASH
2) Installed your fixed version
3) Launched Dolphin HD
4) Set user agent as Desktop (in the Dolphin HD settings)
5) Browsed wuth Dolphin HD to Hulu.com and received the following error message: :Hulu requires Flash Player 10.0.32 or higher. Please download and install the latest version of Flash Player before continuing."
I will re-boot to see if that is needed. Reboot did not help.
Also Getting the same error message
Wonder if hulu figured out another check? I get the same error with the 105.7 with the patch too
I found a website that has instructions on how to get hulu working on the galaxy tab and it's worked for me so far.(huluongalaxytab.weebly.com)
hope this helps
I downloaded the netflix.apk that has been floating around, and with a few tweaks to my build.prop, I was able to get it to work on the galaxyXT ROM.
You have two choices, either download the attached build.prop file and stick in into your /system/ directory... or make the modifications yourself. FYI, please make a backup of the original build.prop before you mangle it.
I changed three lines in my build.prop. Just find these lines in your build.prop and change them to this:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
ro.build.fingerprint=tmobile/htc_vision/vision/vision:2.2.1/FRF91/277427:user/release-keys
Reboot, and that worked for me! If you have different experiences, please be sure to post them here.
FYI, If you make the changes yourself, make sure they are exact, case and everything. Use Notepad++.
Enjoy!
how/where do you access the /system/ directory? I looked on my SD card but cannot find.
thx

Not on your sd card.
It is in the /system/ Use Root Explorer or something like it.
It's in the phones internal memory, not on your sdcard. You would either need a file explorer with root access (e.g. Root Explorer) or you need to push it with adb.
tried using root explorer & it says the system files are read only...
Nevermind, clicked the R/W button & it allowed...
I'll try Netflix now after a reboot.
At the top of window while in root explorer you'll see a MOUNT R/W button, you need to toggle on read / write access.
Wow! Works Beautifully!
Wow! Works Beautifully! Thank YOU!
Work on Dexter's 1.3 too!
Sorry for the ignorance but what is it?
Streaming movie/TV service. Not everybody has it, but its a big deal for Android phones to FINALLY get it since iphone and Windows 7 phones have had it for a while.
I'm not sure, but there are several apk XDA of netflix, and other folders, I can not understand yet. Apk is installed, replace the buildprop and that would be enough? You may be able to give us the link to the apk please because in my market does not appear.
For the payment of subscription must be from the website or can be within the application?
The truth was unaware of this application, it looks very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
can someone share here the apk..tq
This is where I downloaded it from

Thanks for posting that. I couldn't remember where in the forums I had found it.
Hey I'm running stock 2.1 rooted on the xt720. I swapped out the build.prop you supplied in the .zip and installed numerous versions of the netflix clients to see if any would work. The apps installed fine but when I tried to open them (every single one) just opened to a black screen, then it force closed with a bunch of Japanese lettering. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Unfortunately
"Latest version: 1.2.0 build 819145-1.2.0-102 (for Android version 2.2 and higher)"
I got Netflix installed and everything seems to work. But when I hit play, it starts to load and says that I don't have a Netflix ready device. I have Dexter Froyo v1.3 on XT720. Anyone have this problem?
see 1st post in this thread....

once you install the apk, you need to do the hack rev explained in the 1st post.
New APK
Has anyone tried the new "stock" Netflix apk with the XT720?
I running the 1.20 APK, haven't seen an apk for the 1.21 yet, though I haven't gone looking yet either.
