deleted - Thunderbolt General

its been explained to me that hulu isnt free on android so i deleted post

I doubt you will find anyone who will tell you how to watch hulu+ for free when its a paid service.
Most Hulu+ threads that are around were about getting the app to work on the thunderbolt. If you want to watch it, you have to pay the fee.
You can try using standard Hulu thru the browser, just put the browser in desktop mode and see if that will work. Mobile view will not. There was a thread here that had a file that you could replace the standard files to let you watch on your phone. That worked for me.

ok deleted

Found a good music download app

My friends have "i-music" but I dont see it in the market anymore... I found "tunee" which also allows you to download music straight to your sd card... Is surprisingly fast to download on 3g...

i-music became TAO Music which became???
I used to love that app, but when I lost my droid (with all my apps saved to the SD) I lost the .apk, flash forward to having the incredible and I am without such an app anymore. I think it got taken out of the market. When it became TAO Music he said the market removed i-music for name infringement or something... Going to check out tunee now.
actually, read the comments of Tunne and decided against, but what I did find was mention of where I could find iMusic, greencode.com/me
I use ImusicTao on my DI and it works great
I'm really upset that I had paid for iMusic Tao, and then was going to have to repay for it when it became NeoMusic. I haven't found any good replacements so far. I'll give Tunee a try. Maybe check out that link for an iMusic download as well.
imusic can be found in a lot of torrents, containing apk's. not that i would suggest illegal downloads or anything, but it is a free app, or was.. and has since been removed. also can find paid versions of pda net and get that full function tether in the works..
try music wizard
Music Junk is good too. It's back in the Market now.

Downloading you tube

I was told before I bought the captivate that there was an app to download you tube videos to the hard drive. Does anyone know how to do this?

I've used an app called "VideoBox". It's free, but you have to sign up for an account (you can make the account from with-in the app). I'm not sure where it's storing the video files, but you can only watch them in VideoBox currently. There is another app(YouTube Ripper I think it's called) that is supposed to allow you to download videos from right with in the YouTube app, but it appears to be broken currently.
Hope this helps.
yes it helps thank you. I was under the impression that there was already something on the device that would do this.

[Q] Youtube HD

Hi.
I have been searching the forums and the web all day for this, so please don't kill me if I've missed another tread about this!
I love my Galaxy Tab, but i hate the youtube app that comes with it. Even in "HQ" the videos are really blurry.
I have found several sites talking about YoutubeHD.apk and downloaded it from 3 different locations. Tried to install it via Astro, but I always get "did not install".
Have anyone managed to get this to work on the Galaxy tab?
Thank you in advance.
Try this, I haven't tried it.
Back up the Youtube.apk in System/Apps. Rename your new apk to Youtube.apk and copy it in to system/apps. Reboot.
If it doesn't work copy the original Youtube.apk back into its original location (system/apps)... then ask someone who knows more than me.
Thanks for the tips, but I only get "insufficient permission" when I try to move/change the name of the original file with Astro.
Any way to avoid this?
Files probably read only.
Do you even have root access?
Sent from my SGH-T849
did you go into applications and check the one to allow non trusted apps. it blocks any install that aren't from the market unless you check that box. I'm guessing you did but I just wanted to make sure you didn't miss something small and bang your head for too long.
Indeed, you will need root access and a root file explorer. I use 'Root Explorer'. Before doing this, go to Settings > Applications > Check 'Unknown Sources' box.
If you aren't rooted / do not want to root, post a link to the .apk and I will try it for you.
Not sure if the videos are in HD or not, but I use an app called TubeMate.
Go to the Android Market, and search for TubeMate. It allows for viewing and archiving of any YouTube videos in the same browser.
All the videos I've watched and archived using this app has been of great quality, not blurry at all.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I have root access, and have tried renaming the file in Root explorer(get a "read only" message).
I have also checked the "allow non trusted apps" box.
Heres the link to the APK:
mediafire.com/file/zzz1ktzy2nl/YouTubeHD.apk
If anyone with a little more knowledge about Android could try this it would be great.
I wish I could help ya but I haven't experienced this problem....all the HQ videos from you tube look great on my tab?
Ins0: Look at the pictures in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7120200&postcount=2
Is your youtube app really as crisp as the tubedroid video there?
Try to download a HD version of a file, and then stream the same file. You will see a HUGE difference.
In almost all the forum posts I have found around people mix HQ with HD(and they are happy with HQ), maybe I'm just to much of a perfectionist...
There is a new Youtube app on the Android market.
I have updated, and it is actually a little better, but still not even close to the quality I get when downloading the same file in HD from jetVD.
Have anyone else tried the HD apk i linked to?

I think jet vd is the best and you can even download youtube on tab
Sent from my SGH-T849 using XDA App
JetVD is great, but as far as I know it's not possible to sign in to your own youtube account? I use youtube mostly because of my subscriptions. Still nobody tried the APK i linked to earlier?

If you use youtube mobile in your stock browser you will get perfect and smooth 720p quality.

Log into your Kindle Fire, Kindle App, and MP3 App as different users

Ok, I understand this probably doesn't pertain to many other Fire users, but maybe it can help a few of you in the same situation as me.
I have my own Amazon account, but my wife and I share kindle and mp3 since buying books and music twice is just dumb. On our phones this is fine because each app allows you to log in as anyone you want. The Kindle Fire combines log ins for all Amazon services, and even puts your name up in the corner. This sucks because I would rather use Joe's Kindle, not Heidi's, and I shop Amazon a lot, but we use my Wife's accounts for books and music. So I was having to live without my music while having my wife lend me books over and over, which then stopped them from being available on my phone... I know, first world problems. Anyway, after rooting (not necessary for this, though, you can just side load) I noticed there was an update in the Android Market for the Kindle app, which I instinctively downloaded. It allowed me to install it over the system app and log in as my wife, without affecting the rest of the accounts on my Fire. Only down side is I no longer have access to the books tab (its empty), and have to use an alternate launcher to use the kindle app now since it doesn't show up in the native app list. Oh well.
After that worked, I decided to try it with the mp3 app, which I pulled from my phone and side loaded, since the one on my Fire didn't show as needing an update in the market. This time, the native tab didn't go dead at least.

Edit: After a reboot the music tab works again, updated post.
I have been working on this for a while and just figured out that if you rename the system app com.amazon.dcp.apk to com.amazon.dcp.apk.bak it will essentially seperate the amazon apps from the device allowing different logins for the apps.
Edit: Here's a link for anyone not familiar with renaming apps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385301
Sounds good, my mp3 player app reverted back to linked after a second reboot. Just one question, does this kill the tabs in the native launcher? No big deal if it does since I've switched to ADW, just curious. Probably going to reroot my Fire tomorrow and use your suggestion, and disable the Amazon Appstore redirect, too.

I just checked and all the tabs seem to be working fine.
Ok, that works, but it stops you from registering your Kindle. Don't know exactly what that means, but it's a little concerning since I dropped $45 on the warranty. Does yours just say "My Kindle" in the corner? I tried registering it in settings and it won't go through. Oh well. Think I'm just going to copy all the music over to my account.

Unfortunately I bought mine used and have been having trouble trying to get it registered so mine has always just been "My kindle", that was my driving force behind trying to figure this out. Sorry I was unaware of that issue.

Hacking trial app (megaplayer)

I have an app with a plugin which I legitly bough off the market.
However, I just got a new phone, and cant transfer the paid plugin because the app has been deleted from the store, and just transferring the apk file, causes the app to not work, because it sees that its been "pirated".
I was wondering if anyone here can help me remove (or greatly increase) the time on a trial version i found somewhere on the internet.
I'd love to be able to pay for it, but the developers do not seem to have any activity, and i am unable to find a way to pay for the app, so I am asking for help hacking it.
App is called Megaplayer, and I want to be able to use the "player pack 5" which allows the app to download putlocker and sockshare videos.
Please help me out.
P.S. I would LOVE to pay for it. But it is literally impossible.
if you are rooted you could try lucky patcher but Im sure these threads are forbidden on these forums as it may count as piracy
One question: Can I see the screenshot of it detecting that you pirated it?
