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?

[REQUEST] Unlocked Teeter

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.

The update script is failing because you have modified system files that it expects to find (specifically Google Maps) in the /system/app directory. Downloading Maps from the Market won't help you, because you have to put a copy that will match the CRC check for Google Maps in the /system/app folder, and the Market download copy goes into /data/app and has a different name, crc, etc.
You need to get a clean copy from a 2.3.1 ROM that hasn't been modified in any way and put it back in /system/app.
You could also edit the updater-script to skip that file... Check out this thread, start reading around post 184 to the end and you should be able to figure it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923705&page=19
