Simply download a froyo asop rom. Any will work except cyanogenmod. Extact the zip, go into system app, and look for browser. Drag and drop onto root of your sd, get some sort of file manager app from the market, and install it. I think this will work, but i have never tried it.
Until you drag the file onto your sd, this is all on the computer.
Can I get the link to download the file
can someone post up the link to download the stock browser please

I will once I get home and test it out to see if it works. Check back in 30 minutes.
..........thanks
im pretty sure it wont work. i put the browser.apk on the sd card and when i went to astro to install it, it asked me to uninstall the current browser. so i think the only way it might work is if you rooted the phone and then pulled the sense browser and pushed the aosp browser
o i see thank anyway
pushing the browser.apk doesnt work either
how about you just rename the browser.apk thats already in the system\app folder and any odex file in the \system\app folder then install it with the installer app from the market or install command via adb......
hhmmm ????
I tried and I got the unsupported platform message.
I could never get it to work but look here

Hulu Tips
The trick for getting Hulu working is to do these things:
1) Use Either Dolphin Browser or SkyFire
2) In the browser, Settings...set User Agent to "Desktop"
3) In Advanced Settings set Plugins to "Always On"(Default is "on demand"))
4) Install either the Adobe flash player hacked apk or hexedit the libflashplayer.so file yourself. I had issues using the hacked apk, I just hexedited my own on the PC and moved it over. Instruction and hacked apk in first post of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856318&highlight=hulu
5) Install AdFree from the marketplace
6) Delete/Rename the Host file in /system/etc (TNT Lite Builds)
7) Start AdFree, it will want to create the Host file. If it exists when you run it, it will hang and not complete the installation.
8) When AdFree comes up there is an option to "Revert" click this button to allow ads, Hulu needs this to work.
9) Reboot to clear the host cache.
10) Turn back on AdFree Host file restrictions if you like after you're done with the Hulu Goodness! Enjoy!
rooted?
Is there anything special that needs to be done in order to delete "system/etc/hosts" file? I am running TNT lite 2.4 with Cwm, and/\ have had superuser capabilities for everything else, I'm assuming it's not root related?
I did it - I can see the video but when clicked after waiting for a while to run I'm getting the "unfortunately Hulu is not supported on your platform...
Well it works, sort of. It played real nice until it reached a commercial. Then it paused for a few seconds and Dolphin crashed. Tried again and had no sound. Re-booted, tried again and it worked again. Haven't watched long enough to see if it crashes at the commercials again.
Full screen sort of worked. Had to disable the popup blocker in Dolphin. Then it played for a few seconds until the video froze. Still had sound, but frozen video.
I wish there was something not as touchy as flash too...
Update.. Made it past the commercials this time. Seems pretty touchy but it works...
thaigai - you can use root explorer to delete the hosts file. All the firmware distros get you to root. You will need root in order to access the /system/etc and the /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib directories.
jcarlospr - Unfortunately.... message is usually caused by either the User Agent is not set to "Desktop" or your libflashplayer.so is not set correctly.
Download this file, unzip it, and use Root Explorer to copy it into the /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib directory
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=K4C7N34D
You can use this with both the Folio 100 Adobe Flash apk and the GLES Optimized Flash apk. The GLES Optimized is linked in Roebeet's TNT Lite Thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004

That doesn't sound right. Try uninstalling your flash player and reinstalling with the new GLES optimized Flash apk, then copy the libflashplayer.so file. Like I mentioned I had issues with the hacked apk.

Ok, This is what I did
1. Re-downloaded Adobe Flash Player 10.1.12.1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004
2. Went to settings/Applications/downloaded applications and uninstall the Adobe Flash Palyer 10.1
3. Using ES File Explorer I put the adobe flash player 10.1.120.1.apk
4. Went to the data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/ I renamed the libflashplayer.so that I got from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=K4C7N34D
5. Using the app App Installer I install the apk from step 3
6. Turn off the table after reboot I went back to the data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/ and rename back the file.
7. Went to hulu using skyfire (first, I verified that the option selected by default is desktop).
8. I selected a video from hulu and after 30 seconds I got the unsupported message.
Something else, I created data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/ directory because it was not there.
I am using TnT Lite V2.2.0

I don't see where you are doing the adfree part. I got it to work using the Flash apk that was already modded without having to play with the lib file.
My bad - for some reason is not letting me to delete the host file or even rename it and I don't have anything else open - I tried right after turning on the tablet

Are you trying to delete the host file with something like androot, or root explorer? The folder has to be set to read/write or it won't let you change it.

The hack original came form those that discovered it on the Nexus One Phones(rcgabriel thx for correction). It just edits what Adobe Flash Reports to the website the client using it, in this case it reports WIN instead of AND. So, I believe it would work for all mobile devices as long as they use a libflashplayer.so file as well. You might want to hexedit your particular libflashplayer.so file since it may be different from the one posted here. This apk is specific to the tegra2 devices.

Also make sure your firewall is not doing some kind of ad blocking either. Some firewalls like Untangle have a ad blocker or if you use OpenDNS, you might have problems also if you have the restrictions to block the ad sites. Anything that blocks ads might prevent hulu from showing you the video.
Strangely enough, I needed to delete the host in order to have the AdFree even get to the point where it gives me the option to "revert" or load the updated hosts file. I'm not sure if the hosts file itself was blocking things, or the hosts file had some permissions preventing AdFree from modifying it. Either way, using Root Explorer after making sure the directory is R/W and not R/O is probably the easiest route for deleting this file.

Fancast works great without all the BS, hulu is a waste of time.
i know theres other threads out there with readers hub
but none thats fully functional
this was ripped out of the jm6 fw that was just released last week
i pulled it off my own tab
just install all apks and all should work
you might have to put them in your system app folders then restart
see post 2 for zinio apk
Please let me know your results
heres zinio apk
Awesome. Thanks alot. I have a north american tab so these apps were not included. I hav ed actually found aldiko and nook to be great reader apps, especially since you can import epub files. I tried to replace my gallery app with another that was supposed to display as higher resolution images, which it does but also force closes often. Any chance you can upload the stock gallery 3d apk?

I tried to install the ReadersHub.apk, no dice :-(
put in in your system apps folder and reboot
I installed this and can get zinio working to where the magazine subscriptions are present, but there are no pictures. I installed it about two weeks ago. Do you know how old this Apk is? I'd love to get it to work.

i think you want to use root explorer or adb to put apk in /system/apps/ folder.
Zinio still doesn't show the page pictures unless you pinch to zoom for any magazines after August 2010. Does anyone know why this is or if there is a fix in the works? Cannot get any info from zinio directly.

ok you need to be rooted and have busy box install to be able to write to system
once you have above done open up estrongs/or root explorer find the app your trying to install copy it and paste it into system / apps folder then reboot
I still can't get the Reader's Hub file to install or show up in the apps list after rebooting. I've spent hours trying to get this work and no dice.
Wonder if the problems with Zinio can be remedied by changing our screen density settings? Just a thought, may be way off here.

Hi,
can someone please upload the browser.apk from the cyanogenmod 7 for galaxy tab for me?
I do not know how to extract it as the package does not contain a extractable zip file (only a .ext4)
i attach.
in order to extract apps, in unix systems, download the CM7.zip, extract your contents on the desktop and execute "sudo -o loop factoryfs.ext4 factoryfs" (previously, create the factoryfs dir on desktop)...
Wow, thanks a lot!
Is there a way to extract it within Win7?
btw: too bad the browser does not work I got a parse-error when installing. if I put it directly into /system/app the browser does not show up in the app drawer

possibly it requires a sdk version 9
for test purposes, try to change "ro.build.version.sdk=8" in your /system/build.prop
to "ro.build.version.sdk=9"
try "daemos tools" in order to mount iso in win7 or install ubuntu from a live-cd
Or you could just use winrar to extract it.

Set permissions for libflashplayer.so to (rwxr-xr-x) or below

Last but not least. Change the user agent to desktop or if custom then Win.

Ill just edit the first post. I wasnt hosting or do I host files. I Was just trying to show people How its done or that it can be done.
I am reading up on this...it looks like we have to remove the built-in Flash and push this to the /system/app folder and install from there?
I did this last night and all I had to do was uninstall flash updates, copy the libflashplayer.so file to the adobe flash player lib folder that I found in the forum about Hulu, reinstall the flash update from the market, and copy the .so file over again. I booted up dolphin browser HD and made sure it was set to display like a desktop computer, and Hulu works flawlessly!

It won't remove Flash 10.1 (default). So I can't really install the modded 10.3. Missing a few steps.

This worked great. One issue that I ran into is that after you complete these steps and before you go to Hulu, you need to go into your Dolphin HD settings and change the user agent to "Desktop" or it won't work (I'm a noob and didn't know this, so maybe there are some other noobs out there.)
