If you have installed the Crackle movie app and get audio but no video here is the fix:
1. install root explorer app
2. select mount as R/W
3. browse to:
/data/data/com.gotv.crackle.handset/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data
4. remove ALL permissions on config.data
I recommend clearing data on the adobe flash player app too.
I hope I got the path right but similar info has been posted to get adobe flash to work for the web browser. I guess the whole idea is to find that config.data file under any app that uses flash (like Crackle) and remove permissions.
Very frustrating problem. My G2X has been set up exactly the way I like it. I've been using ES File Explorer for network access and it has worked flawlessly.
However, a few days ago there was a new update for ES File Explorer and since that update, file management has been weird.
1. First, using File Manager (built into CM7), when I browse to a directory images, videos, and other files are associated with ES Zip Manager (which I do not have installed). I can change the file association, but the icon for the files stay with ES Zip Manager.
2. Browsing a directory of images with File Explorer or Gallery (built into CM7) will sometimes insert an image from different directory.
3. Using Gallery, as I browse files sometimes an image will duplicate.
I have been forced to uninstall ES File Explorer, but problems #2 and #3 still exist.
I've gone into Development Tools > media Scanner, but no joy.
This is very very frustrating. I now have my media messed up and no way to access files on my network.
HELP!
I was looking around for a way to watch hulu content without having a hulu plus account. Many times I got Unsupported device even after setting my browser to desktop so i found this thread for accer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569816
For this to work you need root
Install instructions
1. download this modified libflashplayer.so
2. Then Copy downloaded file to the root of SDCARD
3. use any root exploring app (script manager, root explorer) and go to data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib and rename the libflashplayer.so to libflashplayer.so.bac
4. Then copy the libflashplayer.so saved to SDCARD to the location mentioned above.
5. Set the permission of the newly copied file to the same as the one you renamed
6. Exit the file manager and load www.hulu.com to your browser
note your browser has to be set to desktop mode and the stock browser did not work for me only dolphon HD, opera mobile and Maxthon Pad.
Any other site with mobile restriction should work good luck
I have some music files I copied to the "Music" directory of my Note. The stock player won't find them. They are all MP3 files. I downloaded a trial of PowerAmp and that won't find them either. I have the card (a 64GB) formatted as FAT32. If I use root explorer I can find and play them manually. Is there a music app I can download that will open and list them normally or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!
Silly question but did you put a .nomedia file into the directory these songs reside. If there is a .nomedia file then the music players won't see anything in there no matter what, neither will any other media app, video or pictures won't be found by their respective apps until you use a file explorer to oen them manually...
You may need to go to settings in your file manager and allow to see hidden files....

Thanks for your response!
Yes I saw when searching for a solution that some apps might install such a file but it's not there. I'm rooted and use Root Explorer and made sure that hidden files are viewable. Interesting also that RockPlayer does see and play the files. Any other suggestions? I did also use CWM recovery to clear the Davlik Cache, and also cleared data from media storage in app settings and rebooted without luck. Thanks.
1. Open your favorite file manager ( eg: es file explorer)
2.Find the specific folder (or album) that you want to be hidden from your android phone’s gallery.
3.Tap rename and put a .(dot) in front of the folder name (with no spaces).( eg: .video )
4.Press OK and done.
Your album or folder is now hidden and will not show up on your gallery. To show it up again, simply remove that dot to make it back to normal.
You can view the hidden files in the file manager, make sure to check the ‘Show hidden files’ in the settings menu.
place '.nomedia' file in a folder
1. If u want to hide media in a specific folder without adding "." at starting of the name of folder, copy '.nomedia' file from anywhere from sd card or internal storage and place it in the required folder. Folder will be visible in filemanager, but the media will not be shown in gallery or music player.. :laugh:
2. '.nomedia' file can be found in following locations
1. android>data
2. whatspp>media>images (or any other folder in media)> sent
