Hulu on any rom and no modified apps

Whambam I've got it! You don't need to be deoxed and all that jazz. To use the hulu app you will need the modified version of flash. But to watch on the browser you can use the newest version of flash.
Step 1. Open the browser app
Step 2. Clear the url and type "about:debug" then press go (if you did it right nothing will happen)
Step 3. Press menu>more>settings
Step 4. Scroll down UAString then select" desktop"
Tada!!!!
Edit: apparently you still need the modded Hulu flash

Nope no go.

Does not work.

Strange because it works on my friends moto x and my incredible but I will admit I am running the modifed flash but my friends x is using the stock flash.

It works on the modified flash. I have not found a modified version of the newest flash yet.

didn't work for me... Where can I find the hulu app? I searched and couldn't find it in the market.

Modifying flash is quite easy. Just edit libflashplayer.so and change "AND 10,1,92,10" to "WIN 10,1,82,76".

Sorry, not going to post an apk. I've been down that road and you get nothing but grief from everyone for whom it doesn't work.
Again, it's easy to do. This is the Development forum. I would expect folks posting here to be familiar with the basics of packing/unpacking/signing apks and using a hex editor.

Not sure what version this is, but just from the size of the included libflashplayer.so file it's clearly not the latest.

That's too bad. I guess a few bad eggs spoil it for the rest of us. But I respect your decision.

Wish I was, but I'm not. Maybe now is a good time to learn. Trouble is my primary computer is a mac so a lot of the "how to's" are not applicable. I'll look around though, always willing to learn.

No, that's version 10.1.92.8. The latest is 10.1.92.10.

I have the latest version patched. I will post it tonight when I get home. Unless someone else has it who can post it.

That'd be great, thanks!
Unpacking the apk and isolating the file was no problem. But opening the file in a hex editor (I just tried an online one) produced a bunch of binary code I could not understand. Maybe when I get off of work I'll have more time to try and figure this out.

Actually, I found what seems to be an even better way. With this method you can keep the newest version of Flashplayer (10.1.92.xx from the Nexus/Market), but enable Hulu. Download the HuluPack 2.zip above. Open it and extract the install_flash_player.apk from the zip. Now open the .apk (explore, not try to isntall, Astro works well here), and find the libflashplayer.so file inside the lib folder in the .apk. Extract this to your SD card. Open root explorer, navigate to /system/lib and rename libflashplayer.so to libflashplayer.bak or cut and paste it to your SD card, whatever, just make sure you don't delete it. Now copy the libflashplayer.so from the HuluPack2 install_flash.apk into /system/lib. You can do all this whether Flash is part of your rom or installed using an apk, and you can do this without rebooting the phone. After copying the libflashplayer.so to /system/lib, websites will recognize your flash player as a slightly older version of desktop flash, 10.52.x.x, and Hulu will work, but you will still get the benefit of better performance from the most recent flash player available.

Hulu on x10 2.2(with screen shots)

I found this a while ago and wanted to share it is and edited lib for the flash player that makes hulu think that your phone is a computer so you can watch hulu videos Make sure your browser has the setting for flash to always be on as opposed to on demand.
edit:you need a browser that can change your user agent like dolphin skyfire or xscope ect. set it to desktop/computer mode
Works on 2.2 and I use xscope browser should work for any browser. Dont know if it works on gingerbread it probably should . I'm using flash player 10.2 and it works fine
How-to
through root explorer
download and extract
libflashplayer.so.fix.10.1.105.7.zip
copy to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib and overwrite the original libflashplayer.so and adjust permissions to a upside down U (permission may not be necessary?)

Tried with FreeX10 beta 4 and did not work on stock browser. Still recognized me as Android. I downloaded your fix directly to sdcard and extracted there. I deleted the old file and pasted the extracted file to the correct location. I also changed permissions to reverse U and rebooted. Any ideas?

Provided by tigerman1979 are the instructions he used to get hulu working on our g2x. thanks to nraudigy2 for posting the proper file.
This method works.
Get libflashplayer.so file here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A670SIXH
Using Root Explorer, copy libflashplayer.so from sdcard to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
Set permissions for libflashplayer.so to (rwxr-xr-x) or below
User: Read\Write\Execute
Group: Read\Execute
Others: Read\Execute
Last but not least. Change the user agent to desktop or if custom then Win.
Im not very good at this kinda thing but I hope it keeps us from having to run around looking for stuff.

Please post mirrors to the files so that registration is not required to download. This is against xda-developers forum rules. Thank you.

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!

i using eb 1.04 froyo i used root uninstaller to remove the orginal adobe apk, i got the modded apk pushed to my system app and installed it, when i go to hulu it tells me that abobe needs to be updated.. i found a new updated adobe apk in the htc thunder bolt fourm, and still no dice, maybe its the rom

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

This is how you do it
Thanks for the great instrctions. It works well

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.)
Thanks for the tip!

Works great. Nice Work.

[Q] soundhound_freemium.apk needed

Hi.
I'm trying to update to my ICS through OTA, but I guess I might have deleted the stock soundhound previously.
Can anyone share the stock soundhound_freemium.apk. I tried installing the soundhound free over Google Play but doesn't seems to solve the issue. I guess it still need the stock one in order for me to continue with my OTA update. thanks

i got it but it is inside my home laptop and I'm at work, thus i'll post a link for the file somewhere tonight when I am at home.
Anyway,you just need to push it to /system/app/ folder and then restart your ICS update all over again. That did the trick for me.

Easier just to flash the RUU and be done with it

tried that it wouldn't work think it maybe cos I'm flashing the same version no idea,
But with the files zipped I can use es explorer to add in the files I deleted as I know what I removed 1 apk and 6 ring tones
I too am at work till 8pm UK time
Cheers to you both

try this, see whether this works : mediafire.com/?fyi8k79lann6rkd
if failed, another thing you can do is to unpack the system.img (inside rom.zip of your unpacked RUU installer). My best guess is that the system.img should contain the Soundhound_Freemium.apk as well.
my post is still < 5, can't put outside links yet.

well got out of work early down loaded your file at work on my phone and had it in place by the time I was home thanks to es explorer, the update has got past the point where it crashes so I am hoping the loss of ring tones that I took off wont effect it.
im at about 80% done so far... fingers crossed.
thank you, your an absolute gem

EDIT: I actually downloaded it directly on my phone and when i unzip it makes a folder but I downloaded on my pc and it actually might work now so sorry for disturbing!
And thank you carbonytte you're a real hero haha

Gallery app Picasa/Google+ sync is broken here.

Does anyone know how to fix it? Apparently there is no stock gallery apk on this phone, only one for vzw with link to their cloud backup services which are a paid option. Conveniently for vzw the picasa/google+ sync is broken.

I would like to know how to fix this too. Use Google+ as a workaround to get at your web albums.

Yes, definitely thanks for this. It worked great for me as well. The only additional thing I did (not sure if I had to, but just to be safe) I also changed the file ownership to root:root. After copying the ownership was something like system:sdcard_rw. So since the ownership on the original file was root:root I figured not to take any chances and change the renamed file ownership to the same thing.
What a thing for Verizon to do. I swear, if they had any serious competition they couldn't pull crap like this.
