Who has slingplayer working?

Curious how you achieved this. Mine just closes automatically

I just tried slingplayer as well and does same thing. Some programs just won't run on it at this time I think.

I have it working...sometimes. It's strange, about half the time it'll run ok and the other half it just closes like you guys have seen. It seems to have something to do with either free memory or another program using the sound system. I'm still trying to narrow it down, but it DOES work.

Did you modify accounts.db by chance?

No. The only system level changes I've made are nooter, multitouch and direct app installs (all done to the letter by the instructions on NookDevs). I've got Dolphin HD, Angry Birds, Slideme, SlingPlayer and AndTask installed.

It works for me but sometimes I have to restart it about 10 times to make it work.

Try opening it in landscape vs portrait.

That doesn't seem to have an impact as far as I can tell... When it does start it's always in landscape regardless of what the screen was before. It starting at all is still hit or miss even when already in landscape.

Well I figured out a system to get slingbox working (for me atleast). Run advanced task killer, try to open slingbox 3 times, if it doesn't work just repeat as necessary. Now mine boots every time now.. weird...

what version are you all running?

I have it working, but the picture quality is not very good. I have the HD box, and all I get is SD crappy quality.

mines work fine

Working fine for me as well.
Most of the posts not working are old. Maybe its a 1.0 vs 1.0.1 issue?

Mine works with no problem, but I'm running an old version.

Slingplayer works for me with my Slingbox ProHD but I can't get to the menu to change the input (device) nor can I edit the slingbox properties.

[APP] Hulu Plus - WORKING!

Follow these steps to get Hulu Plus working:
1. Delete any copy of Hulu Plus from your phone.
2. Download the file from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19377222&postcount=7
3. Extract the 3 files into your TitaniumBackup folder.
4. Restore Hulu Plus from Titanium Backup using App+Data.
Thank derek4484 for providing the files since Rootzwiki did not host it anymore and thank him in his post too.
Note: In order to use Hulu Plus, disable ad blocking using AdFree or any other similar app.

This would complete the Captivate

any updates? Anyone found a workaround to get hulu plus app to work on the captivate?
Sheb

This needs to be done already

If you are rooted just find a titanium back up of the app ( it is somewhere in this forum) and back it up. Worked for me and I do believe it is the only work around. The hulu app checks for compatibility in a different manner then Netflix did. Netflix was easy to fool

Do you mind attaching the TiBu backup for the Hulu Plus app since it doesn't seem to be available on Rootzwiki anymore.

I found the Hulu Plus backup and restored it with titanium backup, but it still didnt work. As soon as I started Hulu plus a big red/white error window popped up and said device not supported.
Edit: OK I only restored App from Titanium Backup. Once I restored App+Data it works great.
Just extract the three files within this to your titanium backup folder on the SD card, go into titanium backup and restore app+data. Should work.

Nice!!! I just tried this out and it works great. I havent found any bugs yet but will update if I do. Finally Hulu Plus for Captivate!
Edit: Ok I have a bad wireless and 3g connection at my house but after the advertisement loads I can't get the video to play even when adjusted to low quality. It says your network appears to have problems. Let me know if its working for you and I'll try again on my campus wireless tomorrow and when I have better 3g service.

Hulu +
Worked!!! Awesome! Tx.:d

Can either of you all confirm that you are able to stream video? I still can't get past the advertisement screen.
Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Andromeda³

This is probably because you are blocking ads via your /etc/hosts file. If you are using any non-stock ROM this is probably true. This interferes with Hulu's ads and prevents it from continuing. If you download and install the "AdFree" from the market then use it to revert to the non-blocking hosts file, then Hulu should work. When you are done watching, you can run AdFree again to reblock ads (if you want).

I've been using ad free and trying to revert my host file but I still can't get past the ad screen. Any way I can do this manually or other possible solutions?
Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Andromeda³

Well, you can look at the file /etc/hosts, if it has been successfully reverted then it should just be one line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
You can probably do this manually if you use root explorer (or equivalent) to make the file writable.
This works for me great with WiFi, but hit and miss on 3G, depending on signal strength.

I checked the host file and it has been reverted. Still running into problems though. I get to the screen of Ad: Your video will resume soon but under loading circle and buffering it says: It appears you are having network issues. Please wait, or try again later.
Im going to mess around with clearing data on things today and see what happens.

Works great. Now does anyone know how to get around the 8 bucks a month you gotta pay to use it

Please can someone help me with this issue?! My sister have a Samsung Vibrant and after one whole night, I finally rooted her phone with Superoneclick just to help her install Hulu Plus on it. I got the app working but like so many others, I am stuck on the buffering screen!
I've tried the AdFree method of reverting my host file, rebooted, but still no go. I've tried uninstalling AdFree, rebooting. No go. I've tried booting into recovery mode to clear cache but no go. I've installed ES File Explorer to manually view my Host file and it is empty except for the 127.0.0.1 line. I am literally pulling my hair out.
Is there any other way to unblock ads on the phone to get Hulu Plus working? Is there like some sort of secret cache that I'm suppose to clear using a secret utility I don't know of? Please I need help!

I was never able to get it working on my phone either. I'm convinced it won't work on froyo based roms. I get the same issue with it never being able to get past the buffering screen even with a clean host file. If you are ever able to get it to work on a 2.2 ROM let me know.
Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Andromeda³

Thanks for the quick reply. Sucks for you to hear this but at least I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem. I'm regretting ever telling my sister to get an Android phone. This is so ridiculous, although I understand this is not exactly the operating system's fault.
I'm about to give up on getting this thing to work on her phone. It's madness.

Updated Nook App (v 2.7) Doesn't Run under CM7

I just updated my NOOK app and it does not run. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same result. Anyone else gotten the updated nook app that came out today running under CM7?
EDIT: Never mind. I cleared Data and then it was able to run. . . It does require a complete reload of all of your books due to a new architecture. . . so bear that in mind. . .

Hopefully this addresses the general crappy performance the old nook app had under cm7. I swear every other app I use works flawlessly. The old nook app constantly forced closes, is very insensitive to touches, and just plain old sucks. Eventually when you got it to load a book it is pretty stable but will still lose your spot every so often.
It drove me to set up dual boot stock/cm7. I am booting back to CM7 now to test the new version out!

agreed, not really impressed with the nook app, it does work though (newest update). irritates the hell out of me when it loses my place, i've found that the bookmark feature seems to work if I can remember to use it lol.

The only reason I use the Nook app is to show off to my little niece about the page-flip feature, that's all.
I read .epub using either Cool Reader or Aldiko while using Adobe Reader for .pdf.

How did you install the the 2.7 update? While the nook app shows up in the Market, there is no option to install or update. When I go to the web based Market interface, it claims that the nook app is not compatible with my CM7 Nook Color. I've tried the usual fixes like editing the build.prop file for screen density (160/161) and also to make the device/manufacturer appear to be HTC. No luck. I found a 2.6 apk that works fine, but have yet to find a 2.7 apk outside the Market. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Uninstall the market update and you can search it and it will have a download button.

I wish the nook app supported the "read to me" books that I bought and now can't use unless I put stock back on my nook. I'd like to also be able to read them on my phone or another tablet.

I am running into the same issue with Phiremod'd 6.3 and the B&N android app.
However in my case, once uninstalled (original was corrupt and would not work), returning to the Android Marketplace and selecting the app does not bring up a download button. Gives me all the info about the application, but no app download or uninstall.
Any thoughts as to why this is happening? If it were windows, I'd say there was a registry setting left that was making the system think the app was still installed...

I have a quick question: is it possible to lock the old market down so it doesn't auto-upgrade. Every now and then, out of the blue, I fire up the market only to find that the app has updated. I can then stop the Market and uninstall updates. But it's a pain in the a$$ to do that over and over and over...

Uninstall the market updater app. (I used Titanium Backup for that.)

Idea... Need some help

So I upgraded my phones but my son still loves to play with my old G1. I was wondering if anyone knew how much of the base os I could remove.
For instance I just want it to play movies, music, connect to wifi, and play games. I don't want it to have ANY calling capability or have it bug me about no SIM card.
Found a list in Cyanogenmod's wiki as to what is safe to remove. I added a few more on to that list and will be adding a couple of apps to the initial install. Will update as I go. Link below.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones
So I booted up my phone and uninstalled the phone.apk and some others...a few errors pop up every now and then... But I'm betting that someone who knows coding can fix the acore errors. I'm going to continue working on this. Wish me luck.

Funny, I was coming here to look for the same thing. I'm administering some Linux boxes, and I was thinking how much easier if it would be if I just had a small handheld device with a physical keyboard that I could run ssh through, then I remembered my G1 in the drawer.
Someone (me, if I ever learn how to do it) should make a Rebirth/Recycle ROM for this phone that strips out the phone capability and just supports it as a streamlined pocket-sized utility and gaming device. Maybe some other linux would be better than Android for that.
- Terminal
- Web browser
- Game emulators (better with a physical keyboard)
- Media player
- Media Center Remote
Anyway, just throwing it out there for brainstorming.

I found this over at cyanogenmod. I'm gonna start here and modify to my needs. I'll post here when I get it setup

Remove Sim card, put in airplane mode, voila no Sim card errors.
You can turn on GPS and wifi while airplane mode is on.
And you could probably rip out the phone and text messing apps with titanium backup.

I have tried this and my son still managed in his playing to take it out of airplane mode. So I want to just avoid the problem entirely. Plus I want to try and keep my G1 useable. It holds a certain sentimentality.

From my experience if you remove the phone.apk acore starts to force close constantly and then it doesn't boot at all
But really, theres not too much to worry about.
99% of G1s can be restored by flashing DREAIMG.nbh from fastboot
And by the way you should try a custom ROM or two
Or with LauncherPro you can hide apps from the home drawer
But I think LauincherPro needs a newer version of Android
(Try froyobylaszlo, or frayo..which is froyobylaszlo but you can choose what system apps to install)

I actually found that after hunting around for a while...
Yep, I loaded ES Task Manager (or Killer, can't remember), and looked up running processes that were on that list in your link to see if I could strip them out and save some memory. Managed to take out the Messager service without any issues. Seems to be working pretty good.

Port default browser to ICS phone?

I love the stock browser in CM9 on the Touchpad. The side swipe controls and the way it handles tabs is just awesome. Why this isn't part of Chrome mobile I can't figure out, the controls are perfection in my opinion.
Can I take the .apk and put it on my ICS phone and it work? It's an HTC Amaze, T-Mobile, rooted of course. Anything else I'd need to copy over ? Any chance this works or is this a pipe dream?
Thanks as always XDA world for your thoughts and suggestions.

xScope browser apk it has tabs and swype left to see previous pages. There is also a pro version in market.

Awesome, I'll check it out. I've tried a ton of the browsers, but never heard of this one. Thanks for the heads up.

Stock ICS browser is the same on all devices running ICS.
Sent from my aokp_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2

Well, that's not entirely true. My HTC Amaze has a stock browser with the filename "browser.apk", but it doesn't look or work anything like the stock browser in CM9, it kind of sucks. Most importantly it is missing the awesome side-swipe function buttons from the CM9 version, which I like quite a bit. And like Chrome, it can sync in your desktop bookmarks. Also, Chrome mobile sucks on this phone, very buggy.
I went ahead and tried using the CM9 stock browser in place of the stock browser in the HTC ICS version, it worked well and I can't find any issues.
Here is what I did:
- On the Amaze I renamed "browser.apk" to "!browser.apk!"
- I copied the "browser.apk" file from my Touchpad into \system\apps
- Reboot and done
Works fine as far as I can tell.... but I don't know if this broke something somewhere else that I'm not aware of yet.
