PSfreedom port to Incredible

I have been following the scene for the PS3 modding for Homebrew and saw that psfreedom is getting ported to many Android devices. Here is no mention yet of it working on Incredible. Anyone think they have the skill set to port this for us?
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=Device_compatibility_list

Once done on the evo it should work on the incredible. Or try loading up cm6 and using the nexus one or desire methods.

Great idea, I will try this and post my results.

It's been posted on the site that the incredible is in progress

They just added it to the list because its the same chipset, no one is working on a incredible port atm. They are working on the EVO right now..

I'm sure it'll come to us eventually.

Does anyone know if there is someone specifically working on the Incredible or EVO port? I heard there was someone working on the EVO, but i cant find where or who. I would like to pitch in some effort to help transition it to the Incredible.

doesn't matter. Sony updated the firmware (v3.42) to block all USB based backup tools.

New ps3 firmware update has reportedly closed the exploit we are wishing to use.

Looks like the latest firmware blocks this. The arms race between the hackers and sony is on!
http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=...uk/go/rss/int/news/-/news/technology-11213618

I don't ever use PSN, so I'll stay at 3.41 for the time being. Think of it like the xbox jtag. Don't want to discourage anyone from porting just yet, it would still be a very useful port.

If you use a proxy app called Logan5's tool you can still go online with 3.41. It won't work forever though, they found a way to block it when the killed OtherOS support too

It DOES matter, just because Sony is releasing an update doesn't mean i have to update to that. I have turned off system updates and you can use proxy tricks to still sign on to PSN with 3.41.
I would assume anyone following this scene has read that it is built for 3.41 and has turned off updates....
Also the newly updated psgroove payload can retrieve practically any portion of the PS3 kernel, allowing us to find other exploits to take advantage of. Which means just a tiny update to the vulnerability exploit could still work on newer system versions.

Whoops double post.

Anyone know the result of flashing the N1 version over? I know it was talked about..

I tried flashing the N1 version of the jailbreak while on a CM6 rom but it doesn't get past the "HTC Incredible" white screen while booting

Just Adding to the mix
Hey guys i was searching other forums to get a bypass method for us who want to stay at 3.41 until we have other methodologies for jailbreaking and preserving the PS3.
here's a link to the OP at the other forum:
h* *p://psx-scene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65511
can't hotlink yet still new user so just replace the stars with "tt"
basically he's just giving two forms of bypass for being able to sign in and get in to the PSN to play online and shop.
Hope this helps someone.
Looking forware to more Droid Inc ROMs as well as PS3

For the meantime, it only shows SNF, RED ZONE, and NFL Network. When TNF starts, it will also show that. Also, on the nfl network, they do tons of nfl replay from the prior sunday games.

I downloaded this from the market a few months ago. Last week I rooted and flashed SkyRaider 3.3. I downloaded it from the market again and it still doesn't mention anything about charging me for anything or subscribing to anything..
What exactly happens, and how does the market know that my phone downloaded the app a while ago? Is it all google account based and not device?
If that's the case, when I buy a new phone, do my purchased apps transfer?

I have the same error.

I am using the Desire Z rom and it doesnt work either, since it is based off a non Verizon rom. I am told that Skyraider uses some Evo framework an Evo is a sprint phone, that could be the problem. I am just guessing here but it makes sense to me.
OK I am wrong... I went to my nandroid backup of the latest OTA release and I still get the not a verizon subscriber error

Netflix speculation and hacking

First off, let me express how pissed I am that there isn't a working android Netflix app. The fact that WINDOWS PHONE 7 got it before us is absolutely retarded. I understand the issue with security and stuff, but why not at least release it to work on phones that have proper DRM certification (I've heard second-generation snapdragon would be compatible.)
Now, I would like people to tell of any inside information they might have on an ETA, in addition to any info there may be on a cracked version of the leaked app.
I'm getting really impatient, and if it's true that ONLY phones that haven't been released yet can run it, I don't even know...
So once again, post anything you know about Netflix for android.

It was working on the evo for a couple days based on a security loophole. But netflix closed it really fast, made me mad too. No battlestar galactica from my phone sucks!

Yeah... it didn't work. I think I'll have to fiddle with my build.prop to see if I can fix. Anyone know if I'm wasting my time?

Works great on my evo! Thanks for posting this thread, I didn't even know it was officially released! Woot

Loaded the .apk on my Moto Droid running BB. It says the device isn't supported and won't stream but otherwise everything else seems accessible.
What do I change in the build.prop to see if I can get it to be viewed as another device?
Anyone get it working on a Droid?

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!
FYI, make sure it is exact, case and everything. Use Notepad++.

Hulu Plus for Android

Just thought I'd share some news I saw this morning:
Hulu Plus for Android
Hopefully, we will see the Thunderbolt added to the compatibility list... or maybe a Dev will take a look at it.

+1, I have a HULU subscription and not a Netflix. I have been waiting for this and of course the T-Bolt is not supported but My X that i sold. "sigh"...Please HULU or devs....make this work, i will be forever greatful.

Has anybody tried to download the apk and install it on the Thunderbolt? Is it the same error we originally had with Netflix? (Unsupported device)

I did install it and that is basically the error that I received.

Could someone explain in terms if hulu and netflix, what makes one device compatible and another not. I mean the tbolt should be better in every aspect than the droid x (hence my upgrade) yet it works on that device. Someone mentioned that it works on the HTC inspire. How is that different than the tbolt?

Just hack flash and run it in the browser, works just fine there

The app checks the phone model and refuses to run if it isn't on the built in whitelist. I am sure there will be a patched .apk with the device check removed soon.

That sucks even more. I thought there was some real technical hardware or software reason but thats just plain model discrimination.
Wonder how HULU decides on this wish list

Thats what I dont understand... Isnt the HTC thunderbolt and HTC Inspire have the same specs besides the Network bands... Why release for the Inspire and not the thunderbolt??

how do you guys have netflix? is it from GB?

Hulu Plus appears to be available for Froyo phones, good for many of us (Inspire and Atrix I know are both on Froyo)

One would think someone will hack it just like Netflix. Who knows how these companies are deciding what devices to support but it's frustrating!

There has been a hulu hack out for a while now. I have been running hulu since the hack like 2 months ago. If you are rooted you can use hulu

Smh getting so sick of android man

You could probably edit the build.prop so that your phone identifies itself as one of the supported phones to get it to work. I don't have a hulu plus account and frankly i don't care enough to test

After reading through someone's logcat while running hulu plus, it only seems not to work because it's sniffing your phone type. Just need to edit the app to not detect it or as mentioned already, change your build properties. I dont have hulu+ so can't really find the solution easily myself.

Coming from wp7, android fragmentation can definitely be frustrating. Seeing other devices run something you can't is just part of android I guess. Not to mention that some games won't ever come to the bolt either.

Working hulu app?

Has anyone successfully gotten the hulu app to work on their one x? I've tried multiple modded versions that have worked in the past for me for my vivid and none of them are working on the one x. They just sit there buffering forever. Any ideas?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

So far I haven't found a solution. Everything I tested is the same buffering problem you said.

I am in the same boat. I have the international version of the 1x and I'm able to get hulu working. But I just purchased the AT&T 1x and it doesn't work. all it does is op stated just stays stuck buffering. I wonder what is different between both phones that will cause this

I actually get the error that my device isn't currently supported. I'm going to try to find a work-around via the browser and a modified version of the Adobe Flash apk I have lying around from my old days of doing this with my Captivate.

I have tried a few modded hulu .apk's as well with the same stuck buffering problem. I really would like to get my money's worth out of my Hulu + subscription.
Come on Hulu!

I sent them an email at [email protected] asking for device compatibility with the AT&T HTC One X (I made sure to call it that so there was no confusion as to what device I was referring to) and this is the BS reply I got.
Thanks for your email. Because Android phones and tablets each have a different set of specifications that we need to take into account, we're only able to support a select number of them at this point in time. While I don't have a time frame to share right now, we'll be adding new Android devices regularly.
Again, I'm sorry for the frustration. We're working hard to bring Hulu Plus to a wide variety of Android devices as soon as possible. Thanks for being patient with us in the meantime. If there's anything else I can address for you, please let me know.
Thanks,
Olivia

So, Hulu Plus can't support various devices, but Netflix can? My guess is that they have only one poor sod who is working on all the mobile apps. Regardless, please email [email protected] and tell them you want to see Hulu Plus on the AT&T HTC One X, I figure the more people emailing them the higher the chances are that we'll see the app released.

My reply was a little different. I'm hoping that they will add it soon as there are many HTC phones one the supported list.
"Giorgio M., May 08 07:33 am (PDT):
Hi Art,
Thanks for getting in touch with us, and thanks for the suggestion. We'd love to get Hulu Plus working on as many devices as possible, so while there's no update at the moment, I wouldn't be surprised to see it pop up at some point. A lot of folks ask about adding the HTC One X to Hulu Plus, so we're certainly aware of the demand.
Before we can officially support it, we need to obtain a specific set of streaming rights, and we also need agreements in place with both our content partners and the device manufacturer itself – and these steps can take time. If or when support is announced, you'll see it listed at ( www.hulu.com/plus/devices ).
I hope this helps. If there's anything else I can address, please let me know.
Thanks, Giorgio M. Hulu Support"

If you're okay with viewing Hulu videos in browser, Flash Video Browser works great. Its a paid app, but worth it if you watch lots of Hulu.

Has anyone else noticed that their app only supports old phones. Not a single galaxy device in that list... I am not optimistic about this. If it wasnt for my gf being addicted to hulu, i would cancel.

No luck, I get the eternal buffering issue I and others had when trying modded flash players/hulu plus apks. It claims I'm having network issues, but I doubt that.
I might add that I'm stock, un-rooted, bootloader locked (for now at least)

There is an update today that works on the HOX.
Note: if you have AdAway installed you need to disable ad blocking and reboot or you'll get an error.
Edit: Argh, spoke too soon. Got it to work once and not since then. Some reviews in the App market suggest it does work, though. I suspect it's blocking rooted devices.
