UPDATE 11/22/10 IMPROVED METHOD. Flash player mods remain even after reboot now (Thanks to Firon for taking this to the next step for user friendly ease, and getting this to stick after reboot).
FROYO ROMs ONLY!!!!! beta FROYO Roms for sure, we will cross the bridge for the official 2.2 update when we get there, should work though
1. Boot into Recovery (ClockworkMod). Flash the file from the link below and Reboot
2. Open market, navigate to adobe flash player, and uncheck automatic updates for adobe flash player.
3. Get your hulu on! Open hulu app - Watch hulu!
If you are having problems, uninstall Adobe Flash updates in the Market app and try again.
NEW SECONDARY METHOD
For those of you in which the v3 installer does not work/flash properly in the new ext4 clockworkmod recovery.
1. Download root explorer or equivalent and uninstall your curent flash player
2. Extract the install_flash_player.apk from the v3 installer.zip
3. Extract the 5 lib .so files.
4. Put the install apk you extracted into /system/app (yes, replace it)
5. Put the lib files into /system/lib
6. Reboot and install the hulu apk provided below
Tested and working on Bonsai4All Rom 4.0.0

thank you.. thank you
is landscape on the way?
Thanks for all the hard work getting everything together! This works Great!!
I will work on getting this to stick. Shouldn't be too hard.
May I have permission to include this in my ROM? (Releasing tomorrow)
awesome job man, i had been trying to find a way for days. nice to see we have a temporary solution. thanks for laying out the groundwork hopefully someone can find a way to make it stick.
thanks, been trying to figure this out for a while. Works.

Oh yeah, no problem at all, that would be great actually! I found a ton of files floating around that I sifted through that seems to work well so far. So, they are not really mine to begin with. Good luck on getting this to stick in your rom. I tried to bake it into a flash.apk but no dice for me, as the browser kept saying I had no flash installed.
Yeah a tad annoying
I think I'll have to write a script to replace it on boot or repackage the adobe flash player apk. Though that might be against their terms and crap.

Yep, had the same idea - writing a startup script to pack it in. But by the time I got it to work, I had no more energy for the whole process of testing .
Uninstall any updates to the flash player, then push this to /system/app and chmod 644 /system/app/*
I don't think you even need to reboot for it to take effect, just restart the browser or something.
This has the modified .so, and it does work. You won't need to do any hackery on each reboot.

Ah awesome Firon! Very much appreciated.
And here's an update.zip to flash it. It should remove any installed updates to Flash, install the modified Flash player, the .sos, and Hulu.
http://firon.net/xda/flash_hulu_installer.signed.zip
Very much untested. :] But it should work!
Nicely done Firon. I have cooked everything into my upcoming ROM and can confirm it works, even after a reboot.
As always Firon, awesome work.
So, since its confirmed to work.. why do I have no luck?
I've tried the original method, the APK, and the update zip. Each time, I get the unsupported message from Hulu. I get it in both the hulu.apk and in Dolphin with Desktop as the agent.

You ... my friend ... are the man! Thank you to the OP, nc2nc2 as well. Wow, I can't wait for official 2.2 ROMs in the future.
Didn't work for me, sadly... made all flash not work. No error, just acted as if flash was non-existent on my device.
Edit: Tried again, no change. Flash is being uninstalled and nothing is being put in its place. I can reinstall flash from the market, but then it knows I am on an Android device.
Thanks, trying now.
Flashing the zip in clockwork worked perfectly for me. I'm on Viper ROM and hulu works in the regular browser.
I :heart: all of you people.
EDIT: I'm retarded

Newest Flash hex edited so hulu thinks you're on windows

install this app
simple right?
can't get it to work then try adb install *your_path_to_your_android_sdk*/flash-hex-edited.apk

I'll give this a shot, hope I don't get those demon voices again
ok i just tried the hulu app and landscape is off center. i dont know if I have the right version. the web site works just find though
yep. install the regular way works. haven't tried it with hulu but I will try it with my" favorite" site later to see if it fixes the demon voice.
I had to adb push this file in /system/app, then install on top of that.
i've never had the demon voices, but today is the first day I messed with hulu at all.
This is just the newest adobe flash off the market for the evo and hex edited to lie and say it's the windows version when flash apps ask. I'm not sure if there is a better platform to spoof or if it will even matter
I installed the regular way it it work out perfect. for some strange reason I had to uninstall the orginal adobe flash app before this one would install(it wouldnt just intall over and replace)
I couldnt get hulu to work with dolphin browser. It works just fine on the stock browser.
thanks for everything . You rock
Ok, definitely curious about checking this out. What are the chances of this having negative impact on other things that utilize flash? Or is that pretty unlikely? Thanks in advance. And to uninstall original, just goto settings> manage applications, I'm guessing?
Thanks in advance, and especially thanks to op.

on the miui rom.... installed apk and no hulu love for me
other flash sites worked fine. uninstalled previous version of flash, installed this one sucessfully, rebooted, and no hulu clips, at least for me.
I tried this on IncDoes Sense "Desire HD" (for HTC Incredible) and it does not work. Meaning no flash on any site.
So all I need to do is install this app, and then Hulu will work on my EVO? Is it really that simple?
If so, that is great!
Thanks!
when i am trying to push the file this is the command I am using:
adb push flash-hex-edited.apk /system/app/
the response i am receiving back is
failed to copy 'flash-hex-edited.apk' to /system/app/flash-hex-edited.apk' : read-only file system.
I am rooted....any sugestions?
steps to any hexed flash to work:
Close out browser
Uninstall original flash using adb for titanium backup
install new flash
install hulu app
OR
in stock browser, type about:debug>settings>UASTRING>desktop then go to hulu site or hulu widget site.
Also: to get it full screen all you need to do is tap to the right of the video then click the fullscreen button quickly within the video. Do not do the hold and click full screen that is part of flash. This only works on the main hulu site. Not the app.

I've always just installed hexed flash versions simply out of my downloads folder on the sd card. I don't think it matters how it installs. Just as long as the previous flash is removed through adb or titanium
i just tried changing my user agent string back to android and it actually still works. if you cant get it to work try clearing your browser cache, uninstalling flash, reinstall my hex edited flash and try hulu.com again
I got a little bored at work today and edited the wifi tether app. For those running Cyanogen roms it will go really well. It's not 100% complete, still a few minor things I want to change and a slight off center that I need to fix but like I said, it's minor. After the holiday I'll finish it up. Hope you enjoy it, suggestions are welcome but I'm fairly new to Photoshop and GIMP so I'll do my best.
This is 2.0.5 pre 14 (the latest) and it should work with any phone that already runs it.
It doesn't want to install. After pressing install it says "Application not installed". Strange because this one (same version) installs correctly, its just not themed http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre14.apk&can=2&q=
Looks good!

That is strange, it installed on mine. Just out of curiosity, where is your current tether app installed to, /system/app or /data/app? For some reason when I tried to install it while booted (to /data/app) it did the same thing. I had to put it in my rom and reflash it, kind of the long way around. Maybe adb push and adb install would work also. If not, I'll pack it in a zip for you show you can flash it in recovery if you want.
Having the same installation problem...
Tried also with adb, seems to be an error with certificate, hoping you will make a flashable .zip
Ok, I've modified by me these app importing the themed file in the "standard" thether app, signing, and now it works.

So I just found what appears to be a permanent fix for running the new android 2.2.6 market on Fission. I know others like myself were having a lot of issues with this. I'm on the 2.3.1 build of it.
Note: I have tried clearing cache, updating, etc... and haven't had a single Force Close error!
1) So I downloaded a copy of the market apk from here (I used the first alt link):
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/11/download-new-android-market-version-2-2-6-for-all-2-2-phones/
2) Then download the app ZipSigner off of the android market so we can resign the apk.
3) Open zipsigner and type in the location of the android_market.apk that you downloaded.
4) Give the output a new name like android_market-sign.apk
5) Install the new signed market file as you would any other app. It asks you about overwriting but just install it and it will "upgrade" your current app, just install it and it will be successful now.
6) Run the market normally and everything should be good!
Side Note: If you were to have any issues you can also just go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications->All, find the Market entry and click "Uninstall updates" and it takes you back to the normal 2.2.
Let me know if this works for you guys also!
Works great for me! Love it compared to the old market ..thanks for the fix. Never tried it before but its working fine now. What is the signer program for? Im curious what else it could be used for?

Just put the Android_Market.apk on the root of your sdcard then change the filepath to: /mnt/sdcard/Android_Market.apk
And change the signed output filepath to: mnt/sdcard/Android_Market_signed.apk
Then go to your sdcard either through file manager or root explorer or astro and just run the apk like you would any other.
I had some trouble to but just typing it in worked and now I have this working great!
With the zipsign update that came today you should just be able to select the file using the built in browser. Just give the output any other name like vending-sign.apk or something. Run the file then from any file browser after its signed.
And im not sure if this helps CM as I only have a droid 2 and just kinda accidentally stumbled on this fix as I was playing around with some other files but it prob should work

What can you accomplish when you zip sign apks?? I did the market fix and it worked well but I wanted to know why they need to be "signed"...can you sign maybe an apk you backed up from an old droid 2 that was rooted and paid for the apk but have a new google account and dont want to pay for it again..would that have them show up in market?

UPDATED 11/26/2011
Ok so here is flash 11 which works with hulu by tricking it that the flash player is a desktop version. This mod is 100% the work of Vgeezy from thrive forums. i am just reposting it here.
Instructions:
1) Download the apk
2) Uninstall flash on the transformer
3) Install apk
4) Set user agent in browser to desktop (open browser-setting-advanced-user agent string- desktop)
5) Go to www.hulu.com and enjoy!
If these instructions dont work try this: (Credit Cowballz69)
1) Set flash to always on on the browser
2) Disable pictures to make sure you boot original flash in market (browser-settings-advanced-uncheck display pictures)
3) Play any flash video with original flash app
4) Uninstall flash from market
5) Install modded flash.apk
6) play any hulu video now
If your flash settings are set to on demand u must scroll down and click the green arrow on the right next to "share this video" to enable the flash. otherwise u can keep flash on always on in settings. (i hate flash ads so i keep on on-demand)
For a frame rate boost u can go to browser-settings-advanced-and uncheck load images (thanks cowballz69)
also if u want an easier ui to access vids some ppl prefer http://www.hulu.com/widget/player but i think that is better suited for smaller phone screen
if u are having problems and it doesn't work make sure you have the new 10.3 installed from market, install the modded apk over top of that then uninstall Flash again and then install the modded apk. (Thanks MonsterAndroid)
No luck here. Maybe I'm doin it wrong.

Does not work for me. Says hulu is not supported on my platform. Do i need root? I just tried installling on top of 10.3,it says not installed. Then i uninstalled 10.3 and used file manager to pull up the downloaded file and installed it. No luck.

try uninstalling the modded version again. reinstall the market version. then uninstall market version and try installing the modded version. Let me know if that works.
Make sure you hit all the x's on the tabs to close out of the browser ... you cant just hit the back button to exit, that will just put it in the background processes ... remember that. Once you come back in it should work.

I did this about 5 different times with no luck. One time my TF froze and i had to hard reboot. Then i decided to switch flash to ondemand, it had been on always previously. Dont ask why i did it, I just had a haunch. Anyways, it works now. I am not sure if it finally took or if changing the option made it work, but it works now. Thx.

Not sure why its working for some and not for others. Maybe for those who are having problems post what software build version u are using. I am on the 0423 build so maybe people who are on old firmware are having problems.
If u post as much specific detail about what the problem is and how ur device is set up maybe we can figure out a solution.

I had flash 10.2 installed. put flash 10.3_hulu into a folder on my transformer.
uninstalled flash 10.2, then used Ghost Commander to locate the 10.3 & install it.
tried the stock browser, with the user agent set to Desktop... didnt work.
tried Dolphin HD with user agent set to desktop... didnt work.
rebooted. tried both again. didnt work.
uninstalled 10.3_hulu. rebooted. installed 10.3 (marketplace version). then uninstalled it. then re-stalled the hacked version. rebooted. tried both stock & dolphin. nothing. changed dolphin's plug-in settings from "always on" to "on demand." still nothing.
got angry. cursed out friends on xboxlive because I can. made angry post on xda forum. relived the horror all over again by typing this post
just tried installed the hacked one over the standard one. still doesnt work. uninstalled then installed hacked on again. still nothing.
Only way I was able to get it to work was by setting plug in to On Demand.
Got it to work on mine. Downloaded the .apk file and ran it from file manager. Failed to install first time. Uninstalled the stock version then reran the modded one. Installation completed then. Had to drop the show resolution down to 480. 720 was a bit to choppy. Biggest problem right now, is that the Hulu screen wasn't intended for a touchscreen interface.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
got it to work on mine but its laggy when its running on full screen.
Mine wasn't working with the apk from the older post...I kept getting the "unsupported on your platform" message right when I got into Hulu.com.
When I loaded this apk and followed the steps...I got all the way to choosing and watching a vid before I got that message....
but still no joy.
Does Hulu tell you your platform isn't supported when viewing in browser?
This MAY help fix that problem.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596936
All credit goes to @blunttedsmurf, so thank him there if this helps you.
The modified flash apk from that thread recently stopped working FOR ME. So I threw together a zip to get it working again.
What's needed
*rooted device
*kernel with init.d support(edit-or use SManager)
*busybox with cp applet
*flash player app compatible with your device(I'm on 4.0.3ics, but this method should work with 4.3 and possibly others)
*knowledge of how to install zip file in recovery
Why
The flash player app from thread listed above wasn't playing Hulu videos on Dolphin or UC Browser(although it was still working on android browser). I haven't tried other browsers that use native flash. Input is welcome.
What'd you do
I just downloaded the flash player that Dolphin(or UC- same flash) prompts to download when flash won't play- this flash works FOR ME on other sites, but not Hulu.
So I just replaced libflashplayer.so with the modified one, and FOR ME, flash works on Hulu website globally.
BUT, for me, doesn't survive reboot, that's why I've included an init.d script to take care of that. If you find the script won't run correctly(flash working), then run as su on boot with SManager. It's named zzzz(runs last) in /etc/init.d
Here it is- https://db.tt/E7hRYoZ1
