To make it easier, all you need to do is download Adobe Flash Player 10.1.105.6 from market and
replace the /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so which is AND 10,1,105,6 hex edited to look like WIN 10,1,102,64 for HULU.
1) Extract libflashplayer.so to sdcard
2) Copy libflashplayer.so from sdcard to
/data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib using root explorer and make sure the permissions for libflashplayer.so is rwxr-xr-x

Thankyou Almighty1
This also has to be done after the .so replace and file permissions (Update 2)
In the browser window type about:debug
go to the browser settings
set UAstring to Desktop
backout and give hulu a shot
http://www.hulu.com/widget/player
Working for some
http://www.hulu.com
Working for others
Worked perfectly
*Update 1* - Full screen
For full screen, double tap the hulu window. Full screen will not work if you hit the full screen icon.
*End Update 1*
*Update 2*
File permissions:
kambiz.aghaiepour said:
also... the permissions are easy enough to ensure in an adb shell session:
# cd /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib
# chown system:system libflashplayer.so
# chmod 755 libflashplayer.so
# ls -la
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Or through terminal:
# su
# chmod 755 /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so
*End Update 2*

Does this really work??

I can confirm this does work, I didn't do the hex editing but did move the lib file and the player is working for me
edit: it even went to the actual larger website and not just the widget, now making it go fullscreen correctly is a little bit of an issue but otherwise it works

Not working for me. Followed directions correctly. Hulu says platform is not supported, not sure what I'm doing wrong

works for me! I also didn't mess with the hex stuff. make sure to set your browser for desktop like the op states.. that's the one thing I missed before I got it to work.

i can confirm also working
you have to go to the hulu.com desktop verson not the hulu.com/widget/player one

Just watched an SNL clip on Hulu. Thanks. I didn't do any hex editing either. I just replaced the file (w/ root explorer), checked all 3 permissions for "user", and then went to Hulu in Dolphin. Since it already has the Android/Desktop option readily avialable, I didn't need to change anything. Again, thanks.

I did both of the above. Didn't edit hex either. Desktop-check, replaced file-check, hulu.com desktop-check, permissions-check. Did both widget and desktop still a no go. Ill try again later
Edit: ran hulu.com through dolphin browser and finally got hulu to work. Weird. But now I'm only able to watch the 30sec ad. After ad finishes playing, screen iz black and nothing. Even waited for it to buffer or whatever but no success. I don't wanna go to hulu to watch tv ads haha. Any ideas what problem this might be?

Thanks for the tip OP! Reminds me of the nexus days when froyo came out and it was a cat and mouse game. Wonder how long this will last till hulu blocks it again!

Is your flash plugin set to On Demand or Always On? I find that Always On tends to work better most times.

Copied the file, change the permissions and went to hulu.com and it worked. It is challenging to get to full screen mode, but well worth it until Hulu decides to give us an official client.

ok got it working in stock browser but not in dolphin HD... anyone else have that issue are there some other settings i need to change in dolphin?

What permissions is everyone taking about??? I've copied the file and have the settings set to desktop but don't know what permissions to check...

same, working in stock but not dolphin, then again, i didnt spend much time tying to get it to work in dolphin, after it didnt work the first time i tried stock...

FYI, if you have automatic updating checked off for Flash, the update causes the "Browser not supported" issue to return. I'm going to attempt to edit the data folder with the same file as before, to see if that works.
*update*
Success.
Just re-copy the file into the folder, and re-change the permissions again, as stated in the OP. Just checked out a Godd Morning America clip. Controls are a bit of a challenge. But we're good to go.

Help getting slideit going?

I've got slideit on my nook, but can't seem to activate it. It tells me I need to activate it manually, but when I go to settings/keyboard, the screen flickers and takes me to the home screen. I've tried disabling almost all the running apps and rebooting, but the same thing still happens.
I've been able to find help on rooting, adding apps, etc, on this forum, so maybe someone could give me some advice.
Try moving the apk from data/app to system/app folder then you should be able to install and setup the keyboard.

That's where it is now. I followed the directions on another thread, but the problem seems to be not being able to get into settings/keyboard.
Are you using the NookColor Tools app for settings, or the stock settings?
I recommend NCT.

I had been trying with the stock. In NCT there's the option to choose keyboard but slideit isn't listed. I'll try downloading the apk and putting it in system/app again.
I'm also having a problem with SlideIT. I've pushed it to the device, and when I bring up NCT it's in fact the only option to select. However, it never actually comes up. In other words, if I enter a text entry box the keyboard never pops up.
Try messing with the permissions once it is in the systems/app folder. I've neutral been giving them full user permission but that might not be needed. Also sometimes a reboot is needed.

so what did you do to get it to work?
Lol throw us a bone here.. how do you get slideit working?
How i got mine working.
I installed it using dropbox. I put my apk file in dropbox, then i install it. Then i go to my sd card using root explorer, there is a folder called dropbox which the apk gets copied to. I copy and paste the apk in \system\app and then it still didnt work, so i went to the file, mounted as r/w in root explorer, then you long hold on the file name, and it gives the options of "permissions" which you select and then i checked all the boxes. I rebooted after that, which at this point you can use nook tools to set the keyboard.
Now that i helped with all that, how in the hell do you use this thing? I saw videos of swipe, and it looked amazing, to me this thing is like a regular keyboard although i can draw lines through it, it just has no clue what i am trying to type. maybe i will search for a tutorial or something.
Update: found a userguide http://www.mobiletextinput.com/Product/SlideIT/Manual/Pdf/SlideIT_UserGuide[English].pdf
Its funny, I did exactly that, and it still did not work...

This is easiest to understand when viewed.
As a simple test, place your forefinger on the letter T, and, without lifting it, slide diagonally over to E, then to S, and then back to T. Now lift your finger. If the word "test" did not appear, then your copy of SlideIT isn't finding its dictionary.

I followed these steps exactly and got to the point where I could see SlideIT as a selectable keyboard. I selected it and then tried to type in a field and a note and it doesn't pop-up. I rebooted after that just to make sure and still no good.

Try installing it, so it'll be in data/app, then copy it into system/app - changing permissions, and also keeping the original apk in data/app. Then reboot, and you should be able to select it in NookColorTools.
That worked! Thanks
I can't find the apk after download. It does not exist in the data/app when I am viewing it in Astro file manager lite after performing an install via Appbrain or directly from the market. Is there an alternate way to get the apk? I purchased the app.

If it's really installed, it's in there somewhere. Look for com.dasur.slideit.apk
Still no luck. Isn't there a workaround? I imagine jve got the apk Somehow off his device since he loaded it on dropbox.
Thanks in advance!
Crap, so the developer overnight put the apk for a demo version online and I was able to get the apk into my app directory with root explorer. However I then went into the SlideIT application and changed input method. The app has a little text input box to do that. Unfortunately after doing this the app wanted a registration code, but the SlideIT not being activated I cannot enter it. So I thought to just enable trial mode but when the app tries to connect to the server it errors out. And I can't get back to the input selection box! help!
Tried to un install using astro but SlideIT doesn't show in list of apps. Only shows in app brain but un install failed. If only I could clear SlideITs cache!

The quality of your judgments, please.
I can not write comments. (I'm sorry.)
Does this work on Bell Atrix devices or any other firmware? I know it probably wouldn't be difficult to test myself but I'm at work and it's a pain to do via Root Explorer.
If I were at home with ADB access I'd give it a shot in a jiffy. Thanks for sharing nonetheless!
Looks to be working, has 1080P option! Will need to reboot for it to work first. on 4.1.83 gladiatrix
*picture removed due to freakishly large size
rebooting now.....seems to work fine adds menu and no fcs so far.
anyway to tell if this is actually 1080p?
when i look at the properties of a video it says the res is qvga, normal?
Some reason it won't show up in my app drawer. I named the old one apk.Bak and placed the new one in. Rebooted still nothing. Any help?

Try rebooting again. Sometimes it doesn't click right away.
I've had this happen in the past. Freaked me out until I saw others report this too.
That is odd, that was all I did. I first renamed the original one .bak dropped the new one in the system/app where the renamed original was and tried the camera. It said it failed to open so I reboot and tried again and all was good. Make sure permissions says -rw -r -r
Did some tests, 1080p works. I was skeptical at first, until I saw the frame rate drop like the Optimus 2X 1080p. Still smooth though.
Just try it, and works fine!!!!
Windows media player said that the resolution was 1920x1088. ¿?
Anyway, it works on AT&T atrix with 4.1.83!!!!
Thanks
Running gladiatrix, caused my camera app not to show in app drawer or allow camera to load.
*edit* someone beat me to it
Anyone tried this on U4_2.1.1 yet?
Running the French Orange SBF (4.2.1.1) and it looks like it worked! Haven't uploaded the file to check the properties but it looked pretty damn 1080p. I also have GreyBlur installed.
If my eyes deceived me.. at least it doesn't crash. It did give me the option in the pull down though. Someone else confirm this too, please! Finally us Bell Atrix users are getting some lucky breaks.

Is the leaked French SBF that I an several others running actually from Orange? I was trying to figure out what carrier it was for as there is no carrier boot screen or bloat.
Sweet! It works! Thanks for letting me know. I am gonna "install" it using Root Explorer tomorrow (busy now), and just rename my old camera app to .bak, just in case.
Fixed my issue. I went into Root Explorer and checked user premissions and none of them were checked. If it does not show in the app drawer, make sure all permissions are set for user in root explorer.

Wierd. As soon as I deleted it and removed the .bak from the original camera app, it came back. Maybe I got a corrupt download of this camera app.

Perma-Temp Root + HULU FIX

ANNOUNCING PERMA-TEMP ROOT + HULU FIX!!!!
I've taken the excellent existing information from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159354 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688054&page=46
See the first link for instructions, etc. Basically just plug your phone into your PC, make sure USB debugging is on, using your phone as charge only, and that HTC Sync isn't running. Then open up the attached zip and run Run_ME_Fr3vo_ROOT + HULU FIX. OH, and I'm not sure if it matters, but have the latest Adobe Flash player installed on your phone before you start (10.3.185.25)
That's it! Your phone should be rooted AND HULU-ready until you reboot.
WHAT I DID: All I did was add a few commands that will delete your lib file from com.adobe.flashplayer, then install a different .lib file with correct permissions. Now, when you go browse Hulu with your stock browser or Dolphin (making sure your settings are set to disable mobile browsing, or set as DESKTOP VIEW, etc), Hulu won't recognize your phone as non-desktop, and you'll be free to watch Hulu all you want!
[Please note: this is my first time doing anything like this, as in first time ever creating a .bat file or doing anything with adb beyond the very basics; please bear that in mind when ripping me apart for being a noob ]
If this was helpful, please let me know with a thanks!
EDIT: Thanks to abe_ahmed09 for reminding me this works with stock browser too!
Unable to test this right now due to no PC access. But dude, no one should rip you apart, you are trying to help the community and I commend you do doing things that a lot of others do not have the ability to do.

Thanks man that's nice of you to say! I really enjoy XDA because (if I'm diligent) I can learn little by little, ask a few questions here and there, and look back and realize I've made a decent amount of progress!

Glad it's working! I'll add emphasis to the fact that you need the latest version of flash for it to work.
Here's a question: are there any other programs out there that have to be tweaked AFTER root in order to work? What I mean is, right now I've got 10 or 20 root apps that work flawlessly after I root. But if there are good apps out there that require additional tweaking after root, perhaps we could incorporate that into the .bat as well

Oh hell no! Just use the free Dolphin Browser from the market, then go to settings and choose "Desktop" so that websites think you're browsing from a PC/Mac. When you get to HULU, depending on your settings, you may need to click the green arrow to watch the video.
Works in Full Screen too!!
...of course, if you're talking about Hulu-plus-only videos---then yes, you'd of course need Plus to view those videos just as you would elsewhere.
EDIT: Reading over your comment again I guess I need to clarify further: nothing here is "ad supported" because there are no apps, etc that I've provided. ALL MY HULU FIX DOES IS SWAP OUT A FILE IN YOUR ADOBE APP FOLDER THAT TRICKS HULU INTO THINKING YOU'RE A COMPUTER. But note that you'll still need a BROWSER that enables you to browse like a computer.
Were these points unclear to anyone else?

So just to be safe I rebooted my phone, to lose root, and ran your .bat script. After i ran the script I opened up terminal and type in "su" and is said permission denied. So I didnt have root, i ended up using one of the other .bat script from the forums and running your .bat script after. Everything worked like a charm after that thanks for putting this together. =] Great job

Awesome, Great to hear it! Ya, not sure why the root method in my OP isn't working for you...different people have posted different results with the same root method! Anyway glad it's working, and as you discovered, there should be no problem running this on a rooted phone
Now I've tweaked it further so it'll overclock your phone to 1.8 GHz! I might make a new thread for that...
Root is working but hulu does show up and starts to play then I get a message telling me its not supported on this platform. I updated flash and mobile mode has been disabled.

Email apk *to replace the system APK *Stock gingerbread

I got the email apk from gingerbread up and running on the nook tablet *will update with screenshot. I figured I would try and it worked so no more *****ing about the stock email app being crap. You can now fix it.
How to install:
Download here
Push to SDcard
Move to system/app using root explorer *or free alternative.
change permissions to:
Code:
Read, Write
Read
Read
^ Just like that.
then reboot
and
Enjoy
Don't forget: Backup your stock email apk, just in case.
Does this replace the B&N app when using their launcher too? I'm getting very upset with it constantly re-downloading all of my email...
You need to reboot for it to take effect btw
Sent by breaking the sound barrier
I'm having an issue getting this to work. Do you have to push the apk to the sdcard, or can you copy/paste it?
Issues here as well. The app isn't showing up in the list. Reverting for now
I already said you need to reboot for it to show.
Rebooted twice. It would show up as Email or Mail, right? Followed all the instructions, permissions, etc.

I did so. I made sure that I followed your instructions. I'm having similar issues with changing out the keyboard, though that may be more related to the apk I downloaded.
Did you guys put it into system/app?
Yep. I used adb because i was already hooked up and working on stuff. Didn't look at logcat because i was working on a compile config.

Of course. After making the /system partition R/W with Root Explorer. Would have preferred to use my own r/w script for /system, but when I got rid of my Droid I think I deleted all of my Android editing/modifying files.

Yep. I used adb because i was already hooked up and working on stuff. Didn't look at logcat because i was working on a compile config.

It worked just fine on my tablet and another persons tablet. Check completely through your app drawer for it it should be called "Email"
Got it up and going fairly effortlessly...
the mistake I was making?
I am using Go Launcher Ex...after reboot I looked at E and M for Email or Mail...well, it wasn't there (even though I was sorting alphabetically)
It turns out, it WAS there in my app drawer...it just went to the very last page of my app drawer and was listed after Widget Locker...obviously NOT in alphabetical order, haha
Maybe you guys were also having this problem?
Yep that was my issue as well. PEBKAC. Sorry for the mixup. Thanks for the app!

I found it exactly as described above.
My main issue was that I was initially trying to launch it using the stock nook home apps screen.

Yeah, exactly the same thing happened with me. Go Launcher doesn't always seem to auto-sort correctly.
Not sure if that's an error or feature of Go Launcher but it doesn't seem to happen all the time. Recently downloaded apps are placed at the end of the app draw. I like it cause I down load so many apps, I forget what I've downloaded.
Lately however, I've noticed that new apps appear in order with a little orange label in the upper right corner of the icon - I think it says new.
Awesome! Thanks, Indirect. This worked perfectly for me.
On a side note, this also fixed an issue with contacts. I was stuck with the abysmal stock contact list manager, because nothing else I installed would allow creation or editing of contacts. With the stock email app is in place, I can now use GO Contacts to create and edit contacts.
BTW: email addys open a new email, street addresses open in Google Maps, and phone numbers open chat in textPlus if you have these installed.
the download link is no longer work. Can you send me a new URL?
Thanks
Please ignore my last post. I found it at your other thread.
Thanks

any way we can get the VOD to work I can't log into my account
I'm not sure about the .apk above, but following these directions worked for me. Posting from the silk browser on my touchpad now. Its pretty good, nothing all that special in my opinion, but here you go....

Yup the browser is working fine for me. Followed the instructions in the kindle fire port post.

I can hope to see this on the next version of Xron? Please
Yeah the browser is working here for me too. Can't say I like it though, but it works.
Any reasons as to why it wouldn't install on my Touchpad? It says application not installed. But it was fine with the first version. However it was giving FC as to eveyone else. Maybe it's signed incorrectly?
One of two reasons : Either its signed incorrectly or not signed at all or there is a previous version existing.
Worked here also after following the steps in the first post of that topic.
TBH though, I'm not impressed at all. Boat Browser still beats it for me on the TouchPad.
@ puneet_champ
But I don't get what can be wrong as others managed to install it on their Touchpads. As you found the solution for the FC maybe you can have a look as to why the application refuses to install? thanx!
Edit: Nevermind. Managed to install it. Cleared everything and did all over again but this time didn't change the permissions and it worked. Thanx for nice work just one thing that I noticed. Even if you choose to use desktop mode in the settings it still gives mobile websites e.g. there's no way to have Vimeo in Desktop mode
Make sure to follow the directions fully. Set permissions correctly and REBOOT
