Hi!
I am on MIUI figuring how to get the android adfree app to work.
Well, basically I installed it and download the host file. The add then tells me that everything is good to go and that I might want to reboot in order to flush dns cache or something like that, but still after that I won't work.
So, what am I doing wrong here? Please help me out!
Regards

What do you mean it wont work? To test I say just download angry birds and see if there is an ad. Some ads can't be blocked no matter what.

Yes, I have an add in angry birds for example. So I guess it is not working ...
So, what do I have to do?

Still not working I have ads everywhere :-(
What do I have to do?
I was using leedroids Rom before. There it worked on its own, didnt have to change anything.
Now I'm on miui.
So please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
btw:
If I tick "symlink from /data/data/hosts/" and then "download & install hosts", it gives me an error message:
java.io.eofexception: unknown format
what does that mean?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
You need to download the new host files. If you can not do this try reinstalling the app. Dont tick symlink from /data/data/hosts/ and just try downloading the hosts. Just to throw in you do have to be rooted.
I reinstated then downloaded new host file. I do have root. still it just won't work :-(

Adfree keeps telling me that everything is set Up fine, but still no ads are blocked.

I'm rooted with Gladroot, and Symlink is unchecked, but I'm still getting ads.
Somebody please help!...

maybe it's device based as well... if you don't get the update, just download the apk from the forum.

Well I have an Evo and to get mine to update I just went into applications and cleared the data from the market app and within a minute it updated.

Clear market data from settings
rm /system/app/Vending.apk
then retry the apk.
Would someone be able to post a link here for the new market for qvga (wildfire)?
EDIT: dont worry, i found it. but it didnt work. i guess im not that desperate anyway

Among others, though I don't know if rooting will necessarily solve this problem.
I don't know what causes it, exactly, but it seems that I've experienced a similar issue rooted/unrooted, stock/custom ROM.
I just unchecked update automatically, if present, exited market, went back in through app brain, and any stuck downloads have managed to unstick.
No real method I.can describe, just kind of pushing/Toggling things/exiting, etc.
Ok just tried it right before I went to att store and its working fine now. Weird. I guess it took my threats seriously now. Muhahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Glad you got it working.
I really think it's some kind of market/server bug on their end.
Just a completely uneducated guess on my part.
News just hit that we are now able to get Hulu Plus on the Evo. Wonderful! Or so I thought. I haven't been able to get it to work. Force closed, rebooted, nothing seems to work. Any ideas on what could be wrong? And does anybody else seem to have this problem?

What rom are you on? I hate when people say something isn't working but they don't include what rom or kernel or anything just "this isn't working, please help".....
I was just looking for about else having problems. I'm on stock rooted 2.2 with 3.70.651.1.

If you're talking about it saying that you're having network issues, you might try to revert the host file in AdFree........I was having that issue but I revert the ad blocking host file and BOOM, it works 110%
How do you revert AdFree?

To go to the app and hit the button that says Revert which is right under Download & Install Hosts......
I had downloaded adfree a while ago, but it didn't work, so I uninstalled it. I just now reinstalled it to revert it, but it still isn't working even after reboot. Any other ideas?

How to install:
(Thanks to ebatr8)
Download the zip from here, unzip the folder and copy all three files (com.hulu.plus-20110723-192253.properties, com.hulu.plus-20110723-192253.tar.gz, com.hulu.plus-bcc9ed16094d067c4c1f3ceb8851f886.apk.gz) into your Titanium Backup folder on your SDcard. Once all three files have been copied start up Titanium Backup and make sure you refresh your app list in case it was running in the background. Go to backup / restore and look for the Hulu Plus 1.0.116 app and click on restore -> App+Data. Once you have installed do not open, let it go back to Titanium Backup to finish copying over the data. Once complete you can exit TB and start running Hulu Plus.
Known bugs and workarounds:
(Thanks to Gunkk)
Problem : I am getting a Buffering.....it appears you are having network issues.
Fix: Check to make sure you do not have AdFree running, if you do turn it off and see if that fixes the problem
(Thanks to robotnoize)
Problem : If you are running a ROM that already comes with AdFree you will get the buffering issue.
Fix : Reinstall AdFree and then disable and it should work fine (Confirmed working with Android Revolution)
Download File:
Link provided by ebatr8: Hulu Plus 1.0.116 verified to work on HTC Sensation
The apk works to browse, but you'll get an unsupported device message as soon as it boots. Nobody has cared enough to modify build.prop or the apk itself (which I don't encourage) since it came out.
You need to use titainium back and restore this app with its data then log in to your account and you should be good to go, it came from the Droid inc 2 forums, unzip and put into the titainium back up folder after you have installed titainium backup and gave it root permissions
http://db.tt/I6QiDqj
It is a backup from a hulu plus supported phone since its already checked for compatibility it lets use it no issues

Thanks, it installed fine thru TB but its still giving the video playback not supported on this device. Guess I have no choice but to wait for official support. Thanks again though.

I got the same issue and I went back and reinstalled you have to make sure your restoring missing app data as well otherwise your just installing the app try again trust me it works

I've restored it on just about every Rom on this forum, run the batch that says restore all apps with data make sure the app+data bubble is selected for just the hulu plus apk and it should work oh and make sure all three files in the zip are in the titainium folder but not in its own folder

Which is one of the great things about a development community, especially a great one like XDA. We don't have to wait for "THEM" to support us, we have each other to support "US".

I've tried everything to get Hulu to work. I tried the hacked app that's floating around here. I tried to unroot and use the official app. Nothing.
Hacked app just sits at buffering. I don't have any ad blockers installed and hosts file is default. I uprooted and the official app gives me the usual error we get on rooted phones.
I'm using a stock ROM with bloatware removed.
Has anyone gotten Hulu to work? How? Help...

It does, but it doesn't work on a rooted device. Hacked version that's supposed to work doesn't work either.
