Modified Flash still no Hulu.

Posted this in General but did not hear anything. I dont mean to spam. Just looking for a solution.
For those who have an android phone running froyo your probably aware that hulu had blocked their site from android users. Generally in the past there were methods around this which involved installing a modified flash.apk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688054
Okay so I went ahead and removed the previously installed flash apk (use root explorer to do it) then I use adb to install it. The next step involved using the debug mode in the browser to make our seem like it is a desktop. Well when I type about:debug in my browser and go into the settings there is no option to change it to desktop. I only see these options:
So my question is, how the heck do we get hulu working?! When I used skyfire to and switched it to the desktop view, it said I didn't have flash installed. Any ideas?
update:
okay so i found a thread on XDA that seemed to get me a lil further but not where i wanna be.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...794512&page=12
this thread suggest that you just install the latest flash.apk and just replace the lib file they give u with the one that comes preinstalled. doing that gets me an error on hulu:
"Unfortunately Hulu is not supported on your platform. We apologize for any inconvenience."
Before, I just got an error saying that they are gonna bring hulu plus to android but thats about it. yes i changed it to desktop and even tried it on skyfire. nothing.
anyone?

Ive gone through the same steps ( own a nexus one and had hulu running fine) ran into the same issues on the tab. Hulu is on it, they dont want mobile browsing on the site without paying. Channelsurfing.net and atdhe.net work on the tab just fine.

Thanks for the sites but unfortunately it doesn't have my anime. I'm following a new series and its only available through funamation which posts everything on hulu. Would really love to get this working.

Here's a direct download link for the NBC apk. I'll put it on mediafire or something in a bit, but this will do for now.

I just tested it on my Infinity and it works fine although it was definitely meant for a smaller screen.
Enjoy!

Yahoo Messanger = also DONT WORK on Infinity
Can someone install and do Voice+ Video chat using YAHOO MESSANGER on Infinity....
Seems when I install , the BASE yahoo ( without abiltiy to do video chats ) works ok
then when I try to install the " YAHOO VIDEO ADD_ON" , i get error = " not compatable with this version of hardware and or software"
its weird = as i have a Samsung Note with ICS = and yahoo works well even with video and voice
seems SKYPE works GREAT = all ther features , and functions ....................
can anyone help ?? any dev's ?
thanks in advance

Awesome app KillerG! Can anyone get the APK for the NBC Live Extra App? That app will have ALL the videos available for streaming video for the Olympics. Over 3500 hours worth when all said and done.
Lastly, anyone getting slow motion audio in the video section?

This is what I did: (jankey I know)
1) Install the app you want on your phone
2) Use ES File Manager (or similar) to back up the application (ES stores it in /sdcard/backups
3) Share that file (Google Drive, gMail, etc)
4) Download and install to your tablet.
Took me under 5 minutes once I figured it out. A lot less time than waiting for the developer to do something about it!

Live Extra apk link
I tried several of the Live Extra apk files, but most of them once installed still said they needed to be updated. Well, once I clicked "update" it went straight to the Play store and said it was not compatible.
I did some searching and found a apk file. I have successfully downloaded, installed and tried the app. It works fine on my Infinity tablet.
I can't post a link, so pm me for it.
Hope I did this right and you can download it from my dropbox folder.
Cheers!

xRevilatioNx, I had issue with sound when I first installed app. I closed the app, went to my task manager and found some "musicfx" running... well, I ended that particular app, musicfx... reopened the live extra app and video and audio were working fine. May work for you as well.

Olympics on TF700 Infinity
I just logged into my Xfinitytv.comcast.com account and went to nbcolympics.com and watch the Olympics. I don't think you need any sort of special application. I've watched various TV shows on my Infinity and other Android apps as well as my wife's iPad and my PC. It just works.

This is exactly what happens to me with every version I try, including pulling the .APK off my galaxy nexus, which works fine on the phone. No matter what I try, I get about five second of video, and the slow motion video and sound. Very frustrating.

Look at running apps

When I installed the app on my infinity tablet, it was in slow mo.. at first. But I found an app called musicfx or something like that running in the background. Once I disabled that, the app worked fine. audio and video worked great. Been watching olympics since 4 a.m. this morning.

How do you disable it? I pm'd you for the NBC Live Extra APK. I know everyone heard back from you my friend.

I had this same issue on the Acer A700 the fix is to have the Olympic app running and when it slows down go into the square task manager on the bottom left, select something else and once that loads go back into task manager and select Olympic app and it will be normal speed.
You have to do this whenever you switch channels, a pain but a temporary fix.

Just turned on the app this morning. A "update" popped up and said goto Play store to get newer version. Obviously we can't because it tells us it's not compatible.
Can anyone get the updated APK? I'm hoping the update fixes the video feed.
UPDATE: without the newer version it won't let us in the app! So we definitely need the APK to continue enjoying the app... Ugh

So i downloaded Ashell and SQlite manager. I am able to navigate to data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases and located the file called gservices.db. I click on it and open it, then it goes to a screen to select which app i want to use to open it. I was assuming I should use SQlitemanager, however it is not listed as one of the apps to choose to edit. I see a bunch of other apps the only one that i can even get close enough to edit with is text editor. I did find the ""gtalk_vc_wifi_on" value to "false"" line however it is not exactly like you wrote shows up as ""gtalk_vc_wifi_only6& Q plusone:enable_instant_share_video58"
Not sure if i can use text editor to edit this i don't want to screw this up. Any input or guidance is greatly appreciated, thanks.

when you select "gservices.db" in ashell you should get a warning asking if you want to get a copy of the file, answer yes
asqlitemanager should now be available as one of the options to open the db
once it opens the gservices.db select "main"
in table "main" select "Data"
hit "PgDn" until you find the following line "gtalk_vc_wifi_only" and hit edit on the left hand-side
change value "true" to "false" and hit "oK"
hit back button a couple of times and you should get a prompt asking you if yo want to "commit changes" answer yes
before you try to initiate a gtalk over data make sure you kill/restart the gtalk app (you may wanna clear cache and data, doesn't hurt}
Done !

Strange that is exactly what I been trying to do, however when I click on the services.db and choose yes to make a copy I then do not get SQLiteManage as one of the apps to choose from.
Could it be because I need the paid sqeditor?

Aww that was the problem I Dowloaded sqlmanagerlite instead of Asqlmanagerlite.
FYI I followed all the steps you provided, however the value was already set to false.I'm using CM10 maybe the dev made that change by default..problem is I can't make talk video calls without getting the pop up message that I need to turn on WiFi. Any thoughts?? Also its weird how I have been able to make video calls by default in the pass sometimes I wouldn't get the pop up message asking me to enable WiFi and sometimes I would.

did you commit changes ?? Also make sure you go to your task manager and kill the app and then restart it.

I did save the settings however those settings you see on the sqlmanager was already like that. I also killed the app in task manager and cleared cache. Not sure if its because I'm running CM10 or what the reason is.
Thanks for trying to help me, I guess I'll just have to deal with it. Sucks BC my friends who have the Samsung Galaxy S3 don't have this issue with stock.

[APP] Note 8 MODE Switcher

Hello Note 8 users,
As a favor to a friend of mine, I made a MODE switcher app that allows the user to switch between the default PHABLET interface and the alternative TABLET interface. This app also allows the user to switch between an alternative Multiwindow mode as shown on the pictures below.
Requires: a rooted note 8 tablet with busybox installed (works for both odex and deodex).
1. For safety, make a backup.
2. Ensure you have busybox installed. If not, install busybox installer from the Play Store and use it to install busybox.
3. Install an alternative launcher like Apex, Nova, ADW, etc. just in case TW Launcher crashes when switching from one mode to another.
4. Download the app below and install. Launch and enjoy. Make sure you grant it root permission when asked.
DOWNLOAD
5. A THANKS would be nice or you could buy me a COFFEE.
NOTE: For those having issue with Play Store in tablet mode, the solution is to use the multi-dpi Play Store from the following THREAD.
CAUTION: Use this app at your own risk. I am not liable for any damage or loss due to use of this app.

You always surprise me ... how you get those ideas

Thank you so much - tablet mode great to switch to when using BT keyboard and mouse!

Thanks a lot for the app.
I am a rookie here and have a issue with this app.
My device is rooted and installed BusyBox pro for the first time.
Then, installed this app.
The mode switch works great, but Multiwindow Mode doesnt work.
it says "ERROR: Missing permission file."
Could someone tell me what I have done incorrectly?
Thanks in advance.

No doubts
You are the one who started it all. But where are you man? I guess, something is brewing
Do share when its ready, we all together can sip it

(app, build.prop and play store compatibility question deleted - but I don't think it's relevant any longer. Restored build.prop, reinstalled this app, now have no issues with play store visibility. However, it is useful to remember that play store can be impacted by build.prop issues - if you do see a visibility issue, a restore can be helpful.)

@chipwizz & @ianbbaa - glad to see you roaming around this thread. Did you guys bought a note 8 and leave me behind in the note 1 forum? I'll be with the note 1 for a longer time I suppose as I can't afford any new device at the moment.
The mode switch works great, but Multiwindow Mode doesnt work.
it says "ERROR: Missing permission file."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Make sure you have "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml" in /system/etc/permissions folder. That is the missing permission file.
This is a very cool app - but does it modify the build.prop file?
I ask because around the time I installed it, my build.prop file was changed (of course, I was making many changes at the time ) and this morning I noticed a ton of stuff in the Play store said I was not compatible. When I noticed the delta time on the build.prop I restored from a backup and now have normal play store visibility.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, it changes one build.prop entry (ro.sf.lcd_density=177) to achieve tablet interface. Play Store may be an issue for some but the solution is to use the multi-dpi Play Store which you can download from HERE.

What was surprising to me was that after I reverted back to 'phablet mode' I was seeing GPS not loving me.
But this morning I reinstalled after redoing the build.prop and for now, at least, Play is working fine.
Thanks for the link to the play store that ought to hold up if I go back.
Samsung's done some weird stuff with their hardware buttons -- both Button Savior and the back button on the tablet style interface tend not to work very well or often when you try to "back" with them. I'd hoped to be able to disable those hardware buttons by being in tablet mode, but not yet.
I grabbed the key test app a bit back and the hardware and the soft keys do send the same codes, so Samsung must have written something in that grabs inputs on those lines and prioritizes it.

It 's reboot when calling or receiving call.
How to solve this?

Don't worry brother. I still remember the days I was saving for note1, will not be moving so early.
Real action started after you and ianbbaa displayed some magic of tablet and multi window. It is interesting stuff you created in terms of switching mode. So happened to checkout in the interest of note1 replication.

Can you use call function without problem?

So I downloaded this morning and doesn't seem to be working. I know I am probably missing doing something simple but here is some background. Rooted with busy box, framaroot I , model 5110, I also have multi window manager already on here could that be the problem. when I go into the app and hit multi window mode it states need to reboot so I do than after it reboots nothing it is back to the normal mode. I am trying to get the cascading window mode. Any help would be appreciated.

Call off the hounds. after a few additional reboots. it seems to have decided to work. I will report back if i have any other unnecessary requests to make.. Thanks

PlayJam Gamestick: open port: possible ADB over wifi?

Hey guys!
I recently got a Gamestick. I already tried a lot of things to get under the hood, I am unsuccessful so far.
I have discovered the Gamestick has an open port, number 7002. It appears to be an adb bridge, as typing:
Code:
adb connect <gamestick_ip>:7002
on my PC yields a succesful connection, however, "adb devices" then says that the device is offline.
Has anyone with a bit more know-how (and a Gamestick) tried this? This device looks really useful, but it's locked down and very limited in what it can do right now. I want to try running my apps on it, but it's locked down.

Has anyone with a bit more know-how (and a Gamestick) tried this? This device looks really useful, but it's locked down and very limited in what it can do right now. I want to try running my apps on it, but it's locked down.

Seems to be because of the authorization... You know - when you connect a phone using the adb for the first time, you have to confirm the connection for the first time... No luck confirming the adb on the gamestick...

I have a request. Please check your PM...

I figured out how to get into the Gamestick! Side-loading, root, Play Store, everything.
I have written a step-by-step tutorial with screen shots on GameStickers forum. Here's the link:

Read the Gamestickers thread. Did you use the Apex launcher? Luck with Playstore?
TIA,

Can you repost this in here? It requires a login that doesn't work and when I look through manually I can't find it.

Those steps probably worked in the developer version but I was not able to access android directories on the non-developer version; only external/sdcard. Re:repost, I can do later in the weekend. As a side note, some repositories are no longer functioning on the Tofu XBMC fork on the gamestick.

Gamestick developer mode
Hi guys I bought one of those game stick and the first day I converted it to developer stick from game stick website and by doing that it gave me access to everything you need to install apps I installed amazon app store aptoid Google play services gmail and couple of games like dead trigger riptide 2 sonic and worked perfectly with the controller the only thing am stuck with is play store I installed most of the apps needed for the play store to run but it only open register my Google account show me apps and games than switch off if someone know a fix to that please let me know the stick is already rooted just installed SuperSU and root browser to access and copy apps to system/app folder

any luck?
Sorry for re-opening an old topic but can somebody please repost the guide to side loading here? seems like it is deleted from gamestickers.net

I recently created a small custom ROM (more like a conversion) if you don't care about the Gamestick store (like me) and you want a open android stick that still works with the game pad, let me know and I can upload the ROM somewhere after I finish some details just make sure you understand that you won't be able to access the GameStick store at all, in fact your stick will no longer be a Gamestick, and well you might brick it, and all those disclaimers, blah blah blah
you can always go back to the original ROM

Was not able to re-post. Never got side load working. I believe side loading only worked with the developer units. My game stick does not work for a long time. Now I have Amazon Fire TV which allows side loading via adb. Not all apps are compatible. Very stable.

it says it has 8gb of storage but when I'm in the storage settings its only showing 4gb of storage?

I've got a developer version kicking around but it needs to be re-flashed. Open to offers for sale!
