Hello, So I was wanting to use hulu on my transformer and was tired of having to do what is listed here as a fix
" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076853&highlight=hulu " since I am lazy.
I have had hulu working on my samsung Epic 4G for awhile using the method below.
" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142155 "
So I was wanting to know if it would work on this tab and gave it a shot
Yeaahhhh it works
From that forum I downloaded the flash fix (attached below) and just extracted the data/flash/libflashplayer.so file. Then using AnTek Explorer I copied that file to the /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib directory and hit Ok when asked to overwright the current file.
If you have clockwork and a kernal that supports init.d then you can just flash the zip and should be good to go from that point on since it will run the script automatically at each boot. If not you will just need to copy and paste the libflashplayer.so file each time you restart which is what I currently have to do since I have a B90 and am only rooted and straight stock without a customer recovery or kernal.
I only use Dolphin and confirm it works with that and stock. Cannot confirm any other browsers though I can't see why it would not work.
-----------------------------
EDIT
So this stopped working when I updated to ICS
After looking through the forums I was able to get a updated file that does work in ICS from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427095
Again I just copy and paste the LIB file into the correct folder and replace the existing one
The only difference is that when using the stock Browser you have to select Request Desktop Page from the menu
I just use Dolphin and works just fine
The file also includes a script that can be used with script manager to auto-load on each boot. Follow instructions from original thread if you want to do that.
Can anybody confirm if this works on the any of the ICS ROMS?
The zip does not work. Status 0 error.

Thanks man, I've spent the last hour or two trying to run that script from other posts to get flash to work for Hulu. Don't know why I was getting the errors I was (wasn't finding the file?), but this worked much better on my TF301 (stock/rooted).
Edit: Never mind, I've been punked, it will show the advertisement, but doesn't seem to load the video. I'm back to figuring out what happened with the script. Haha, the script didn't work because, as noted above, I'm not on a busyboxed ROM like I'm used to... but either way I'm still only able to watch ads.

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 amazing! Tigerman1979's instructions worked, I did not even use the flash apk that was provided. I just downloaded it from the market.

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.
Is everyone's video's on hulu a bit choppy?
Working awesome without having to uninstall the flash updates from the market

Strange. Went to watch a show on hulu today and it says my device is not supported. Anyone started getting the same issue?

Seems the .so file keeps getting replaced by the old one everytime I reboot. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I'm using Super Manager to move the file and set perm
I'm running into this issue and don't know what I'm doing wrong. When I download things they automatically go into my sdcard/download folder. I downloaded a theme for the Xoom and I verified it was on my SD card by going into Root Explorer and looking for it.
When I reboot into recovery and go to install the .zip the file doesn't who up at all. Also if my card is corrupted is there a way to wipe from the Xoom itself?
It needs to go in the external folder within your sdcard.
So I have to make a folder called external and move the things? Is there a way to have the browser through downloads to a particular folder instead of me having to do it manually? I prefer to browse XDA from the browser and I like to download things from XDA. I will try that now and see if that works. Thanks I'll post back if it works out for me.

It won't work
You can't just make a file called external. I assumed that you had installed one of BRD's custom kernel's. This is the only way you can use the external SDcard. I assumed since you had cwm recovery working that you had done this.
Start with this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013
You need to be updated to 3.1 to use the latest kernel.
I also don't know of away to (easily) change the download location with the stock browser. An aftermarket browser may let you change the download location.
Awesome. It worked when I moved it into the extracted folder. I was able to flash the theme.
I was wondering if there was a way to change download path by editing something in root explorer.. Most if not all the things I download are from XDA and are flashable.
ok, guess you got it working
UPDATE: I was able to install the .apk by copying it to /system/app/ no fuss no muss. Once there it was ready to run without as much as a reboot required. Thanks to baseballfanz for the solution.
I am running gnufabio's Revolver 4.0.3 RC3 and downloaded the removed apps zip. I am trying to install the AsusReader.apk (MyLibrary), when I used my TF101 stock I liked this app for PDF viewing much better than Polaris Office.
When I try and install it says installation failed, do I need to flash this via recovery (a la gapps)?
(I would have posted this in the ROM thread, but I don't have a high enough post count to post in there yet.)
I've never run into this error otherwise, try flashing via cwm, I think that's what was intended being a 'system' app.
If there's a cwm flashable file try that, if not try manually moving it to system/app instead of installing it like a regular apk
Did you find a solution for this? I really liked the MyLibrary app, I have tried installing as a zip, manually putting in the zip folder etc. There seems to be a few of the Asus apps that won't install. Alternatively does anyone know of a good app that organises PDFs in a similar way to MyLibrary?
I haven't tried flashing via cwm yet, I need to get to my laptop so I can yank the stuff I don't want out of the zip.

[edit]I just thought about what baseballfanz said and decided to give that a try. I used Root Explorer and moved the apk to /system/app and it was in my app list, no reboot needed.[/edit]
I tried moving the apk into the app folder but it didnt work. Are you using the apk from the revolver main post?
Yes, extract the apk and use a file explorer with root access. I used Root Explorer, find the extracted apk and long press on it select copy or move. Then navigate to /system/app and then touch paste.

I tried the exact same thing about 10 times and eventually it worked by renaming the APK to MyLibrary.apk. Very odd!
It's definitely the best app for displaying groups of PDF in a library view that I've found
Thanks for your help
Glad you got it all sorted MrMuz.
I just went and double checked mine and it is still AsusReader.apk
AsusReader on Lenco TAB-9701
Hello MacFett,
I have tried to install the AsusReader.apk as both AsusReader.apk and MyLibrary.apk in the system/app folder, but it does not seem to work.
The icon shows up but when I tap it I get a message that the application has stopped (after 2-5 seconds). I'm using a Lenco TAB-9701 tablet.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I really like this app (I've used it on other tablets) and would very much like to get it working.
Furthermore, does anyone have information on how to root the 9701?
Thanks in advance for your help.
It maybe that it is fc'ing because these Asus stock apps for the transformer.

I just installed the latest JB file from CM10, as announced on the site. The installation went smoothly, and without any problem. However, in the instructions provided, there was a link to the Google Apps for this version, named gapps-jb-20120717-signed.zip. I also downloaded the file, and it is also put under /sdcard on my tablet. But I can't install this zip file. I have CWM version 5.8.3.1 installed, which seemed to work fine with this CM JellyBean. I am getting an error message about the zip file when trying to install the Google Apps file mentionned above. On the announcement page with the links to download the files, they only give the links to the two -signed.zip files. I assumed that both zip files should be installed the same way, but it appears they are not. Can anyone help me ?
NB: I use the Samsung Docking station/keyboard. Anyone had any issue with this before ?
Thank
Extract the apk's from the zip folder and install them normally! Few apps won't install this way. Put those apk's in "system/app" and change the permission to rw-r--r--
Reboot your phone and the apps should be there!

Bad file
Although the file was pointed properly in the page, the actually downloaded file had a mad MD5 checksum, which was not displayed on the download link, only on the download page. I also noticed that after restarting, I had a strange display, where instead of having the default green wallpaper, I was having lines of random color bars. Another reboot, and it now seems to be fine again.
I also mentioned that I have this Samsung keyboard that attaches to the tablet, and has a replication port. The keys on the top, like Back, Home, etc, seem to work only half the time. More testing will be required on this.
Good Idea !

That's an idea, and I will also look at this. I guess this is what will give me the Google Apps program so I can re-download and/or reinstall the programs that I used to have under HoneyComb 3.2.
Thanks. I will try this too. :
Here you go folks this libflashplayer.so Works for the SG3 So you can play hulu "among other sites". Download and install the newest flashplayer 11 then use SManager "its free one". Download libflashplayer.rar and extract libflashplayer.so.
Then copy libflashplayer.so to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/ No extra scripts no funny installers.
Just copy and overwrite. Also works on Galaxy 10.1 and the Newpad t3 Droid Incredible, plays flawlessly if you use Dolphin. And Then Set Desktop to PC
"DO not use the lite version it just doesnt cut it"
Remneber Dolphin player doesnt work on any device that has android 4.1 and using an older version of dolphin will just make it unstable. Android 4.0.4 is the latest one you can use for Dolphin to work with flash.
Added pure flash player 11 unmodded for ICS
Ive included a script so you can hack your flash player if you are using 4.0.4 OS I lost the link where I got this file however I did find this on XDA.
Basically you just gotta use Smanager and run the script after extracting the RAR file to your SDcard. Just take note where your BusyBox is actually installed. If you dont know then download busybox from the market and then run it. It will show you where it wants to install. At the point just edit the script and change the path of the Bin file to the installed folder where BusyBox is installed. If you use the Flashex205 you will have to uninstall flash player and then install it again. Make sure you are not using the modified libflashplayer.so otherwise the script will not work. GL Peeps
Thanks to XDA for teaching us how to hack cool things onto Cool stuff.
Thanks works great on my HP Touchpad running CM9 (Android 4.0.4). All I did was copy the .so file and changed the permissions in root explorer to match the old .so file. This should work for any ICS and maybe even JB device. Adobe updates may break it, but since Flash is discontinued now that isn't an issue anymore.
Allows Hulu in Firefox when using a desktop user agent and also in the default Browser when set to desktop view (it uses a Chrome desktop ua)
