Hulu working on touchpad cm7, and any other android rom or devices. Working on my archos 101,touchpad, Huawei s7 and vibrant. You must uninstall stock flash player if installed then install Flash player attached here. Also there's a Hulu app attached.
Which archos 101?
Thank you for the post. Does this work on archos 101 Gen 8? Or only on the newer Gen 9?

I too own a Archos 101and yes it does work on Archos 101 with custom rom installed like cm7 or others. But it seems to not play so good in the browser,browser crashes. Browsers I tried are dolphin,xscope,boat browser might work in others. Should use the hulu app attached for better results. Also make sure to change browsers user agent to desktop.
THANKS!!!! Works great on Touchpad but also on my LG Revolution. The app, not so much but works fine in Dolphin HD.
*Just an FYI, on any other device you might have to uninstall/reinstall Netflix.. had to on my LG Revolution anyways, TP was fine
reinstalled flash, didnt work. do i have to install the app too? tried it in dolphin hd.
Worked for me, I just need now to find out how to trick Hulu since I'm not in the US... (Is there another solution than VPN?)
Sine, you could try running through a US proxy. I do the same thing in reverse for Europe, so I can get the online broadcast of Top Gear.

It seems to work (at least on desktop browser), I've used this free US proxy list and this proxy checker to find one to test, I'll try on my TP tonight
Got it to work. Just have to click go to hulu.com from app. Doesn't work by just typing in address in dolphin

Go in to dolphin settings and change the user agent to desktop.

Are you using the stock rom or a custom rom? From my experience with the modified flashplayer is it works best on custom roms stock roms not so good or at all. Suggest changing your rom if using stock rom.
Just wondering if there is an update for this? Flash keeps trying to update on my phone and I let it once and lost Hulu so just checking..
Thx.

No there is no update yet for the flashplayer. Uncheck the automatic update option for flash in the market and use rom toolbox app to break market link. In Tom toolbox go to applications then touch the flashplayer until options menu appears scroll down and select break market leak, This will do until update.

FWIW, for those comfortable with hex editing, you can actually fix any version of flash, including the latest, to work with Hulu and Amazon VOD.
Uninstall any old version. Install the latest from the Market.
You need to be rooted (all of us on the Touchpad with the Cyanogen mod should already be rooted anyway) and go to the file /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so (make a backup just in case)
Either get the hex editor by Tuba in the Android market or copy the file to your PC and open it in your favorite hex editor. I use the app because it works and it's just easier without having to transfer files back and forth.
Open it up in the hex editor and find the ASCII value "AND_11" then change it to WIN_11 (note it's case sensitive so it must be all caps).
Make sure the change saves, so you must have r/w privileges in that directory if they aren't already set.
Reboot after you've verified the save took with the updated value.
The AND is for Android and the 11 is the version increment. It's unlikely, but if Adobe ever releases a version 12.* you will then want to look for AND_12.

Since Dell included Swype in the 2.2 updates, you can not install the beta swype apk without running into issues.
It will disable swype and simply un-installing the swype beta does not restore the original swype on the device. So your stuck with either having to do a factory reset or some knowledge of the system files.
I found this post over at the swype beta forums under Droid X by grooves12 which worked for me on the Streak.
Follow the simple steps and you'll be good to go
grooves12 said:
First, your Droid X must be rooted. There is plenty of info out there on how to accomplish this.
Get a root file manager (I use root explorer)
1. Change your default input method to anything other than Swype.
2. Mount file system as R/W
3. Delete (or move/rename) \system\app\swype.apk
4. Delete (or move/rename) \data\dalvik-cache\[email protected]@[email protected]
5. Delete (or move/rename) \system\lib\libSwypeCore.so
6. Reboot
7. Download and Run the latest Swype Beta installer
8. ENJOY!
I hold no responsibility if you screw up your system, and recommend you make a backup before attempting this, but, the above steps worked perfectly for me, and I am now running the latest Swype beta on my X.
These steps should also work on other models that come pre-installed with Swype from the factory, but I don't have another one to test, so have no way of being sure. If anyone tries it, let me know if it works for you!

Why continue trying to use the beta when you have a fully working version already in the streak?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
yeah what's new with the beta? I can wait for stable release I think
--punked by Dell
--0wned with custom froyo long before their update
The latest one works much better, the main thing I think is most beneficial is that when you delete a name from your dictionary its actually deleted. In the one that comes with dell's ftoyo whenever I attempt to swype the word "now" the name "nour" would come up. No matter how many times I deleted "nour" from my dictionary it would still come up.
also I don't like how the numbers are across the top row, now with the beta I have installed the numbers are in the middle like a 10 key
head over to beta.swype.com to see a full change long.

I want to share the versions of the Market and various Gapps that work for me on Sam's HC EMMC v4.0, 2nd ed. build {Huge props to him, deeper-blue, and others who got HC working on the NC. Without their heroic efforts, I'd be working 4 jobs right now trying to save up to buy a Xoom}
This script is the first one I run after doing a fresh build of HC EMMC, but you should also be able to do it on a stale version of HC as well.
Maps is version 5.0
While I am confident that these files will work for you as well, please remember, individual results may vary---use at your own discretion.
NOTE: The 'GoogleServicesFramework.apk' file in the attached .zip will remove the blue wi-fi icon from Sam's initial build. If you prefer the blue icon over a working Market (My Apps), then DO NOT proceed with the installation!
That being said, please do the following before trudging ahead:
+ Perform a full backup using your bootable CWR SD card [see samuelhalff's thread for instructions on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947071]
+ Backup each of the original files on your NC that will be replaced by the script
+ See #1 & #2 above...you've been warned
Instructions for Installation:
Extract the files contained within the attached .zip into the same directory as your ADB directory (where your 'adb.exe' file lives). Mine was located here on my computer: C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Connect your NC to your computer, ensuring ADB is working properly ahead of time
Double-click on the file 'HoneyGAppInstall.cmd' and the script to install the new apps will run
The script will reboot your NC upon completion
Once your NC comes backup from the reboot, you can then login to the Market, select "My Apps" and they should show up right away.
I have also attached the 'build.prop' file I use. This modified file allows me to see tablet apps (NY Times Tablet, More Good News Tablet) and also I can see/download/install both Angry Birds games.
NOTE: The ro.sf.lcd_density is set to 140 in my file. This is not friendly to Zeam and needs to be set to at least 150 for that launcher to work without Force Closing in Portrait mode.
Good luck and let me know if any issues.
EDIT: For those running a build that is not new and already has the original Market setup, would be best to do the following steps after running the Gapps script:
1.) Settings > Manage Applications > All > Market: Clear Cache then Force Stop -- DO NOT Clear Data2.) Settings > Manage Applications > All > Google Services Framework: Clear Data3.) Reboot

Would it be possible to flash the market zip through recovery? Looks like it would work in theory.
I can see all the installed apps on My Apps. Thanks for these files. But I have one problem. My Nook no longer shows up on market.android.com. Anyone else have this problem?

Not being a dev, I don't know how to compile the files I attached and make them flashable.
However, I can tell you that I do have a black-themed Market by Darkslide for my DroidX that is flashable via CWR, but sadly, it did not work for me. I tried it by booting to the CWR SD card. Would have been nice to have the black-themed version.
I also have a flashable version of Zeam, but again, did not work for me.
Now, I have not tried it by going into CWR using Sam's method with his built-in utility. This is because I have not really been able to get that to work 100% of the time and also because it is just so easy to get to CWR via the bootable SD card that I have not really messed with it too much.
I can post the black-themed Market if someone smarter than me wants to take a look at it...might prove useful. I am just not sure if a DX file can be used on the NC
Just let me know and maybe we can figure it out together.

And you have to be pretty fast at disabling that little "HQ" icon in the top-right corner of the screen. From my experience, has to be almost instantaneous by the time it appears on the screen or the video won't load.

Thanks for checking. I did mess around with the build.prop you provided. I think I messed something up. I will use the file you provided without any changes.
Thanks.
Not being dev minded, I don't know how much help I would be. I was able to extract the apks from the zip file and move them with root explorer, changed permissions and it appears to be holding. Have rebooted twice and still good. Your script in the zip file would not work with cwr since it is windows based, I think. I don't know if the apks would install in recovery without a script, seems like it would not. Anyway, thanks for putting this together. Market works with the apks and the build. prop seems to have helped as well. Thanks again.

You are most welcome and yes, the .zip is not flashable for CWR. XDA will only allow for certain types of files to be uploaded and .zip is one of them, so easier for me to go that route.
Files in the .zip are meant to be extracted into the folder where ADB.exe exists in order for the script to work correctly. As stated in the OP, I have only tested this on a Win7 box, as that is the only platform I have access to at the moment.
Root Explorer will also work, as you already know. So, for those who want to go that route, it is certainly an option. Glad things are working well for you at this point. Thanks for your feedback!
I'm just checking. These are the Android 3.0 gapps from the XOOM, not the 2.3 gapps? (Sorry I'm a little tired and don't have the emmc version installed, I run the SD card version, so I can't test ATM)

2.3, not 3.0.
Just transferred all the apps and the build.prop to a stale build of eMMC 2nd (3 days of use) and other than using root explorer followed the instructions to a T. My apps seemed to work but not thinking I updated maps in the market and now it doesnt work. Tried to uninstall updates in market (didnt seem to even finish the process), replace with my original apk, replace with apk from your zip here, clearing cache and data. Nothing seems to bring it back to life. Anyone else have this problem?
P.S. I think the white wifi icon looks nice.

Just used a combination of Root Explorer and ADB (for the chmod) to use your mod and everything is working great. Thanks a ton for posting this!
Only change I had to make was the LCD Density in the build.prop since I want to use Zeam. I tried using the default launcher but it is so laggy, I just can't.

Glad all is working for you and that is a good point...I will update the OP to let folks know the build.prop has the LCD Density set at 160, which is not Zeam portrait-mode friendly.
Thanks for the feedback!
Okay, just downloaded the new Amazon Appstore and installed Angry Birds Rio (the first Free App of the Day). Force Close... so I tried both 140 and 160 LCD Densities and still no luck. Tried both of the other Angry Birds (original & seasons) and they force close on all three densities as well.
Any thoughts on why you are able to run them but I can't using the same build.prop? The only thing I had changed from your build.prop was the LCD density, but as I said, even changing it back to match your original setting doesn't make Angry Birds work.
Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons work for me. I had to move them to the internal memory. I already tried moving Rio to internal memory, however it still FC's. I can get the game to almost start, but when it's time to start shooting, it FC's. I haven't tried changing the LCD density.
Same issue here with Rio. Tried internal and no dice. Doesn't run at all when on SD.
I've been looking around for a few days now and can't seem to find it. Does anyone know how to get hulu to work on the Evo View Tablet?

It works great on mine. I had it running fine on Gingerbread and right now on Honeycomb.
Do you get the message that device is unsupported? That would mean that you're not using the hacked version of flash for one reason or another. Once you get Hacked flash zip installed through CWM, try manually copying /data/flash/libflashplayer.so into /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/ using RootExplorer. Overwrite the old file. After that try running Hulu. If it works, but you're loosing Hulu after reboot, make sure that script is running on restart using Script Manager.
Yeah, something's not quite right I will double check tomorrow. Another note, are you running stock root? I wanted to get honeycomb on my tab but the ROM I'm running has been so stable and great.

On the View, try Flash Video Browser. You can get it from either Android or Amazon markets for $.99. You must have Flash 11 installed.

I'm looking a bit more at rooting via manual nooter on OS 1.4.1.
As of now, the Android Market is not working
In my hands, the BN shop is also not working. Books cannot be downloaded. (The reader does work, though, so you can shop and then download to your PC, then push the files in manually if you like.)
Together, those two elements not working argue against rooting 1.4.1 for anything other than study and development, I think.
- 1.4.1 installs on a device which had already been rooted (this device is rooted but not overclocked.)
- boot from a manual nooter 4-5-18 disks works
- after applying MN 4.5.18 and the APK enabler, the device booted. Root was retained and SU works fine (I was able to use adb wireless)
- install via ADB works
Other things to be aware of:
- this is not a Gingerbread release for the NC.
- the home button behavior is changed a LOT. Home Catcher for the Nook Tablet will also work here, though.
- the device automagically snarfs Google contacts if it's registered to a gmail address, it seems. There is no warning on that. I think that behavior is a Big Effing Problem.
About to try hopefully it works. I know I couldnt install update on 1.3 with CWM going back to complete stock and then update and then MN.
Yes, if CWR is written to your boot, you cannot install BN updates.
It might be possible to use a flashable 1.3 installer to write only /boot, reboot, then update to 1.4.1. I know there is a flashable 1.3, but I do not know where it lives.

Yeah I went back to 1.3 stock and then to 1.4.1 update.
It would be nice if some one conforms about Market
"It would be if some one conforms about Market"
Yeah, wouldn't it?
I'm figuring from the lack of screaming it's probably working.
Market is up. Some apps still missing. Having a bit of problem with Zeam launcher. Nook launcher is taking control.
Straight from my ICS i897 Sonic Screwdriver!!!!!
So from a rooted 1.3.1 you:
Use CWM to install a vanilla 1.3 ROM, then update to 1.4.1 via B&N download, then root using only 4.5.18? I seem to remember to root 1.3.1 you needed to root with 4.5.16 and then 4.5.18.
I have been able to use 4-5-18 without any problems on both 1.2 and 1.3.
You may not even need to install the vanilla ROM - you may well be able to install to a rooted device, so long as you have not meddled with /boot, either by installing a CWR boot internally or by overclocking.
My fast experiment this morning involved updating a rooted 1.3, then rooting that resulting 1.4.1.
Anyone check to see if it will still boot from an SD card, just want to confirm before update, but because it is still rootable I can always downgrade.
Edit: I am in the process of updating as I type this, I will post the results in case anyone else needs them.

In my case the Market runs but it's totally useless: I can't see my apps, it doesn't find most of what I want to install and when it does I can't install anything (it just goes back to the Apps menu). So it totally sucks since the B&N market is really lame!

For whatever reason, many Nook Colors that come stock with 1.3 installed just bootloop if rooted with 4.6.16, even if rooted first with 4.5.18. I can confirm this with a new NC purchased for my girlfriend's mom. Runs OK if just rooted with 4.5.18, except for it having the ancient market. Haven't been able to update the market yet, though gmail will update itself.
Updated to 1.4.1 (had to return to stock 1.3 to install the update, even without CWM flashed), using homecatcher to overcome the new "n" button "feature", but market is hit and miss. Was able to download and install Astro, but Titanium Backup doesn't want to download and install. I'll try sideloading it later.
What's the new n button feature? Is it possible to make a flashable update, like with 1.2 and 1.3?

If you press it once, it brings up the B&N "dock" that used to be at the bottom of the screen. If you press it twice, it brings up the B&N launcher.
Correction, I thought I was able to download Astro from market, but apparently I didn't. Now I've got no way to sideload apps, which makes this pretty useless...

ADB commands are your friend! Pretty much as long as you can enable ADB you can sideload with zero issues.

I realize this, but this nook is a gift for my girlfriend's mom, who lives out of state, and I know there's no way she's going to sideload everything using ADB... I need to get her a working market, even if I've got to go back to 1.3 and disable the update.
Ended up using 4.5.18 on my stock 1.3 NC. ADB Sideloaded in the Kindle app and a couple others and used the Nook App Manager to drop icons out on the main stock launcher page. I was really looking to add teh Kindle app so I could read all my purchased books on a single device, so I'm quite content. I'd like to see better market, etc but it's not a dealbreaker for me.
Just in case someone follows this thread, rooted 1.4.1 is working well now. manualnooter-5-12-18.zip does it for ya.
Market works. You can add non-B&N apps to the B&N app and home screens using Nook Color App Manager. Putting the Kindle app on there is no problem. Netflix, HBO GO and Max GO work. Hulu Plus refuses to run on the device. B&N subscriptions download and update the dock. B&N enhanced content (e.g. Wired magazine) work fine.
If non-techie friends and family want an enhanced B&N Nook Walled Garden experience, this will do it!
I really this tablet but the big dealbreaker for me at this point is some basic apps are not compatible or at least play store think it is. Is there any way around this?

Most of those that Play Store says are incompatible are not incompatible. It is just that the Nook HD/HD+ is not a device that should be accessing their site (it should be accessing B&N store). So just reading the characteristics of the device (screen size, density, and many other things), it does not know what to think, so it just says not compatible. Most of them will run. Just get them somewhere else, Amazon, 1mobile, sideloaded from other devices etc.
I only have found one app that would not run. Google Voice.

Most will run I have only found 2 that will not, google voice and sim city.

I already posted this yesterday here, Chrome_18_0_1026320.apk from apktop says it missing something after installing. Already read somewhere about an older version which should work, but I haven't figured out which is the most recent one which does work. I want to install the latest working version.
I used this method for "incompatible device apps":
Some apps showed incompatible device on Play Store so I downloaded and installed them on to a rooted Galaxy SII phone using the Temp Unroot function. Then back-upped with Titanium Backup and e-mailed it by Gmail. Then download it to my at that point rooted HD+ (2.0.4). Apps still didn't work because my HD+ was rooted, but worked after the 2.0.5 update, as my HD+ isn't rooted any more at the moment. I think this workaround still works for many apps. (Only the root was lost after the update, so the rest still is working like before).
So some testing needs to be done before you can say an app really is incompatible. Would be good maybe to make a list of some apps, not?
Another APK that does not work...
Also I have tried to install Subway Surfer from 1mobile, google play store, and downloaded apk. In all three instances it installs and gets to start screen which lasts about 5 seconds. Then screen flashes and goes back to home or launcher. Really wish I could figure this one out. Two Nook HD's for the kids and most wanted game does not work. :crying: Jay

That means it just will not run on your machine. Does the Play Store say anything about which versions of android it will run on? Stock is 4.0.4.

Yeah it says 2.3.3 or higher. Forgot to mention my HD has the GAPPS, unknown sources, etc.

You're using gapps in the 2.0.5 update, but are you rooted?
Leapinlar, that's what has me baffled. The nook has 4.0.4 android yet a simple app that only requires 2.3.3 android will not work. I am sure it's just a setting that it doesn't like but I have tried it on both HD 's with the same results My nooks are not rooted but used your zips for stock. All other apps have installed and worked thus far. Do you have any idea what the app may be hanging up on with the nook? Thx

Is he saying it is running because of losing root? You can test that by installing gapps without root. See my cwm thread to see how to get that.

Hi, I have Subway Surfers running fine on my Nook HD+, it's ver. 1.6.0 dated 2nd January 2013. I've had it running on Cm10 and now CM10.1 roms fine.
Guessing here but it does have the option for in app purchasing, maybe that's why it's not liking it on the stock Tom with Gapps side loaded? It's a free app so can upload the APK if you like? Pm me if needed

Hey I am thinking the issue may be that I am not fully rooted but rather did Leapinlar's stock zip flashes for unknown sources and such. Do you guys think using the universal root zip and flashing that may solve my issues? Also will running the universal root zip work now that I have already done the other GAPPS, Extras, Unknown Sources zip

Yes, the root can be added later with no problem. You notice he said that app worked on CM10, not stock. I doubt if root will help. But you can try and if you decide you want to remove root, I have a zip for that too.

Yes I ended up doing this last night
Now I'm running 2.0.5 rooted with gapps installed, as well as running CM10 off of an 8GB MicroSDHC of mine
Thanks!

I've managed to use ES File Explorer to backup a couple of apps that the Play Store listed as "incompatible."
Plants vs. Zombies comes up as incompatible and I can't get ES to back it up.
Real Racing 2 comes up as compatible, but when you launch it the first time it wants to install additional files. That secondary step fails.
Further, i can't get ES to back it up either.

Great, being able to add AND remove root is what I was looking for, might have missed that while reading here. That would work like a "temp unroot", just not by a single click in an app, but that wouldn't be a big problem. So maybe it's time to give CM10 a try now.
Indeed some apps suddenly do work when your device is not rooted, so they do a check. Because I had them installed while being rooted and lost root because of the 2.0.5 update I could notice that they worked afterwards. On the rooted Galaxy SII I used the "Temp unroot" option in SuperSU, so I could install about all apps, those that need root access and those which don't want root access to install, run or both.
I do believe I used Titanium Backup while "Temp unroot" was on, while you only can install Titanium Backup on a rooted device as far as I know. Need to check this once more, it wasn't my phone I used.
Playing with and without root might be needed to see if some apps do or don't work on the HD+. At least by this you can out-rule whether being rooted or not is causing the app not to install and/or work.

You did not miss it. It was probably not there when you read it. I am always changing and adding things to my CWM thread. You need to watch the change log in the second post of that thread.

Anyone else tried to run Words with Friends from CM10 SD card? It installs OK from the Google Play store, but locks up after 1 or 2 turns. If not for this, I'd have very little reason to ever boot back into stock OS.

From the android log it would appear it's the ability of in-game billing causing the issue:
D/InAppBillingManager( 5896): AndroidBilling: No Billing Support Yet!
Not sure how to get around it but that seems to be the issue.
