Hi, Just got my TF and attempted to install flash player. However, i get a message saying it cannot be installed because of my country (Trinidad and Tobago).
Flash capability was an important feature for me, so I would like to know what can I do to overcome this problem...short of moving to another country.
You could search for flash player apk and you should be able to get it that way.
edit: I've uploaded Flash 10.1 here, the latest version is 10.3.
http://www.mediafire.com/?tmggbys8czlq5mc
Okay, sorry but I'm new to android...first day actually. I understand the concept of this. The file is the android package file for flash player. If I DL it to my TF, how do I install/setup on the device?
And also...do you recommend searching for 10.3 apk, because an initial google search gave a few results for 10.3, or should i stick with 10.1 that you posted. Thanks.
just go to where you stored it with the file manager app included and open it. Also 10.3 is better.
Okay, thanks for the quick solutions. Off to try.
One thing you will need to do before you can just install it is to go to settings>applications then put a check mark in the 'unknown sources' box. You probably wont be able to install that file unless you do. Then use the inbuilt file manager to install the apk file as seshmaru said above.
And Flash 10.3 is here:

No worries, when you try to install an app from the file manager without having it enabled it tells you and asks you if you want it to redirect you to settings to allow it.

Cool. They've thought of everything then.
Success
Tried it and it worked. Got a message saying it was successfully installed.
Or maybe not....there isn't any icon for the flash player app and websites using flash tell me that I need flash player.
After DLing the apk file, i went to the location and opened it. It said installing, than said successfully installed. Any ideas??
Enable the plugin in the browser.

Sorry ....but...how exactly do I do that?
browser settings>advanced>enable plug-ins. Set to either always on, or on demand if you prefer to click and select the things that load.
Ok, got it to work! Nice.
But, can it work in firefox as well? Pages with flash work in the browser, but in my firefox app

Newest Flash hex edited so hulu thinks you're on windows
AND 10,1,95,2 hex edited to look like WIN 10,1,85,3 for HULU
i adb installed but i'm guessing you can just install it the regular way.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7706551/flash-hex-edited.apk
uninstall flash
install this app
simple right?
can't get it to work then try adb install *your_path_to_your_android_sdk*/flash-hex-edited.apk
Freshy I like
Sent from my phone... I think??
and now the link is actually up
I'll give this a shot, hope I don't get those demon voices again
ok i just tried the hulu app and landscape is off center. i dont know if I have the right version. the web site works just find though
yep. install the regular way works. haven't tried it with hulu but I will try it with my" favorite" site later to see if it fixes the demon voice.
I had to adb push this file in /system/app, then install on top of that.
i've never had the demon voices, but today is the first day I messed with hulu at all.
This is just the newest adobe flash off the market for the evo and hex edited to lie and say it's the windows version when flash apps ask. I'm not sure if there is a better platform to spoof or if it will even matter
I installed the regular way it it work out perfect. for some strange reason I had to uninstall the orginal adobe flash app before this one would install(it wouldnt just intall over and replace)
I couldnt get hulu to work with dolphin browser. It works just fine on the stock browser.
thanks for everything . You rock
Ok, definitely curious about checking this out. What are the chances of this having negative impact on other things that utilize flash? Or is that pretty unlikely? Thanks in advance. And to uninstall original, just goto settings> manage applications, I'm guessing?
Thanks in advance, and especially thanks to op.

on the miui rom.... installed apk and no hulu love for me
other flash sites worked fine. uninstalled previous version of flash, installed this one sucessfully, rebooted, and no hulu clips, at least for me.
I tried this on IncDoes Sense "Desire HD" (for HTC Incredible) and it does not work. Meaning no flash on any site.
So all I need to do is install this app, and then Hulu will work on my EVO? Is it really that simple?
If so, that is great!
Thanks!
when i am trying to push the file this is the command I am using:
adb push flash-hex-edited.apk /system/app/
the response i am receiving back is
failed to copy 'flash-hex-edited.apk' to /system/app/flash-hex-edited.apk' : read-only file system.
I am rooted....any sugestions?
steps to any hexed flash to work:
Close out browser
Uninstall original flash using adb for titanium backup
install new flash
install hulu app
OR
in stock browser, type about:debug>settings>UASTRING>desktop then go to hulu site or hulu widget site.
Also: to get it full screen all you need to do is tap to the right of the video then click the fullscreen button quickly within the video. Do not do the hold and click full screen that is part of flash. This only works on the main hulu site. Not the app.

I've always just installed hexed flash versions simply out of my downloads folder on the sd card. I don't think it matters how it installs. Just as long as the previous flash is removed through adb or titanium
i just tried changing my user agent string back to android and it actually still works. if you cant get it to work try clearing your browser cache, uninstalling flash, reinstall my hex edited flash and try hulu.com again
So I just found what appears to be a permanent fix for running the new android 2.2.6 market on Fission. I know others like myself were having a lot of issues with this. I'm on the 2.3.1 build of it.
Note: I have tried clearing cache, updating, etc... and haven't had a single Force Close error!
1) So I downloaded a copy of the market apk from here (I used the first alt link):
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/11/download-new-android-market-version-2-2-6-for-all-2-2-phones/
2) Then download the app ZipSigner off of the android market so we can resign the apk.
3) Open zipsigner and type in the location of the android_market.apk that you downloaded.
4) Give the output a new name like android_market-sign.apk
5) Install the new signed market file as you would any other app. It asks you about overwriting but just install it and it will "upgrade" your current app, just install it and it will be successful now.
6) Run the market normally and everything should be good!
Side Note: If you were to have any issues you can also just go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications->All, find the Market entry and click "Uninstall updates" and it takes you back to the normal 2.2.
Let me know if this works for you guys also!
Works great for me! Love it compared to the old market ..thanks for the fix. Never tried it before but its working fine now. What is the signer program for? Im curious what else it could be used for?

Sure it is going to help many users
If it does work over time I will post it on FRM.
I swore I signed it and it gave me FCs after a few reboots so maybe I did forget to sign

Just put the Android_Market.apk on the root of your sdcard then change the filepath to: /mnt/sdcard/Android_Market.apk
And change the signed output filepath to: mnt/sdcard/Android_Market_signed.apk
Then go to your sdcard either through file manager or root explorer or astro and just run the apk like you would any other.
I had some trouble to but just typing it in worked and now I have this working great!
With the zipsign update that came today you should just be able to select the file using the built in browser. Just give the output any other name like vending-sign.apk or something. Run the file then from any file browser after its signed.
And im not sure if this helps CM as I only have a droid 2 and just kinda accidentally stumbled on this fix as I was playing around with some other files but it prob should work

What can you accomplish when you zip sign apks?? I did the market fix and it worked well but I wanted to know why they need to be "signed"...can you sign maybe an apk you backed up from an old droid 2 that was rooted and paid for the apk but have a new google account and dont want to pay for it again..would that have them show up in market? Jw?

I have some issues with a device I bought (coby internet tablet 7015) that have resulted in my being unable to use the android market (I always get a 404 error) or the app that came with it (appslib) I seem unable to install any apps (with .apk) because I do not have a file manager. I'm looking for a way to install apps without one, or maybe one I can install that is not in .apk format!

Go into your browser on the device and find an apk for a file manager, then download it. when it's downloaded you should be able to open it through the browser. Then you can copy over an apk for ME (MarketEnabler) and install it. ME will let you use the market.
I wrote down some options:
1. If you rooted your phone and such you can just use adb from SDK
Code:
adb install [dir/package.apk]
(usb debugging enabled).
2. If you have internet on your device, upload a file manager apk you downloaded from a pc and put it where your phone can download it from with the browser. So when the download on your phone is complete you can click on the finished download in the notification bar and install it the file manager.
3. You can also try appbrain.
Though I think you should first fix the market problem. How about resetting the phone?
You can also use DropBox. Download the .Apk to your computer, pop it in your DropBox folder, open DropBox on your device, tap the Apk, and voila!
technically its not a phone its a "Coby internet tablet" but I get what you mean, and I have actually reset it to factory default's twice with no success.
To the first poster thanks, that did work to enable to to get the file manager but what is market enabler? and any suggestions on where I can find it?
http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/detail?name=MarketEnabler_v3.1.1.2.apk
It can fake a provider to get access.
How does it work? Every time I tried it would say "We've got a problem Houston"

try installing the 2.2.6 market from this child forum??
try appbrain. It should let you start a direct download from your PC.
If everything fails then the only thing I can suggest is installing all apps from .apk

He would need root for it to work.
If you do have root, try this http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
It works better than MarketEnabler.
You do have WIFI enabled? And added your google account? Does it have a SIM card?

Ok so here is flash 11 which works with hulu by tricking it that the flash player is a desktop version. This mod is 100% the work of Vgeezy from thrive forums. i am just reposting it here.
Instructions:
1) Download the apk
2) Uninstall flash on the transformer
3) Install apk
4) Set user agent in browser to desktop (open browser-setting-advanced-user agent string- desktop)
5) Go to www.hulu.com and enjoy!
If these instructions dont work try this: (Credit Cowballz69)
1) Set flash to always on on the browser
2) Disable pictures to make sure you boot original flash in market (browser-settings-advanced-uncheck display pictures)
3) Play any flash video with original flash app
4) Uninstall flash from market
5) Install modded flash.apk
6) play any hulu video now
If your flash settings are set to on demand u must scroll down and click the green arrow on the right next to "share this video" to enable the flash. otherwise u can keep flash on always on in settings. (i hate flash ads so i keep on on-demand)
For a frame rate boost u can go to browser-settings-advanced-and uncheck load images (thanks cowballz69)
also if u want an easier ui to access vids some ppl prefer http://www.hulu.com/widget/player but i think that is better suited for smaller phone screen
if u are having problems and it doesn't work make sure you have the new 10.3 installed from market, install the modded apk over top of that then uninstall Flash again and then install the modded apk. (Thanks MonsterAndroid)
No luck here. Maybe I'm doin it wrong.

Ok will add tidbit about ondemand and pictures off as options. But u can still use with ondemand there is a little arrow next to share this video that allows u to turn on flash for those that hate to keep it always on to avoid pesky flash ads.
Does not work for me. Says hulu is not supported on my platform. Do i need root? I just tried installling on top of 10.3,it says not installed. Then i uninstalled 10.3 and used file manager to pull up the downloaded file and installed it. No luck.

try uninstalling the modded version again. reinstall the market version. then uninstall market version and try installing the modded version. Let me know if that works.
Make sure you hit all the x's on the tabs to close out of the browser ... you cant just hit the back button to exit, that will just put it in the background processes ... remember that. Once you come back in it should work.

I did this about 5 different times with no luck. One time my TF froze and i had to hard reboot. Then i decided to switch flash to ondemand, it had been on always previously. Dont ask why i did it, I just had a haunch. Anyways, it works now. I am not sure if it finally took or if changing the option made it work, but it works now. Thx.

Not sure why its working for some and not for others. Maybe for those who are having problems post what software build version u are using. I am on the 0423 build so maybe people who are on old firmware are having problems.
If u post as much specific detail about what the problem is and how ur device is set up maybe we can figure out a solution.

I had flash 10.2 installed. put flash 10.3_hulu into a folder on my transformer.
uninstalled flash 10.2, then used Ghost Commander to locate the 10.3 & install it.
tried the stock browser, with the user agent set to Desktop... didnt work.
tried Dolphin HD with user agent set to desktop... didnt work.
rebooted. tried both again. didnt work.
uninstalled 10.3_hulu. rebooted. installed 10.3 (marketplace version). then uninstalled it. then re-stalled the hacked version. rebooted. tried both stock & dolphin. nothing. changed dolphin's plug-in settings from "always on" to "on demand." still nothing.
got angry. cursed out friends on xboxlive because I can. made angry post on xda forum. relived the horror all over again by typing this post
just tried installed the hacked one over the standard one. still doesnt work. uninstalled then installed hacked on again. still nothing.
Only way I was able to get it to work was by setting plug in to On Demand.
Got it to work on mine. Downloaded the .apk file and ran it from file manager. Failed to install first time. Uninstalled the stock version then reran the modded one. Installation completed then. Had to drop the show resolution down to 480. 720 was a bit to choppy. Biggest problem right now, is that the Hulu screen wasn't intended for a touchscreen interface.

but still no joy.

Did you select auto play or tap to play in the plugin settings? If one doesn't work, give the other a try. The setting is a bit fickle.
Also, did you just place the APK in the folder? Have you tried simply installing the official flasplayer apk as an actual app?
(though I've swapped to Dolphin, the last few recent Firefox updates have made it painfully slow.)

I did, of course, install the APK. It would have been pointless not to. I did not tweak the plugin settings though. Websites I visit do not recognize that Flash is installed and will not even offer the Flash content. The problem with Dolphin is that many websites do not render correctly. Oracle support, for example does not render or work right with Dolphin. Neither do other elaborate support sites such as the HP server support system. That means that I must keep FF on hand for those.

1) Please make sure that Dolphin Jetpack is enabled in the Settings.
2) Download and install <a>this Flash Player(http://goo.gl/VMivpL) on the right top on this link(http://dolphin.com/lab/en). If you have installed the other Flash Player before, please uninstall it first.
3) Make sure that the flash setting in Dolphin Browser (Click Menu > Settings > Web Content > Flash Player) is on. Follow steps mentioned above and find out whether it works. I get it from their website.
