Ad Free - Xoom Themes and Apps

Doesn't seem to work. I am rooted.
I've updated to the latest patches that are available in the app, rebooted as it suggests to do, and I still get ads in my apps.
Is this not working for Honeycomb yet? Anyone else had any luck with it.

ive been using it and its working fine for me.

Works fine here too.

Well, I just rooted yesterday and mine is not working either. I have tried on stock browser and other sites, and the ads are continuing to come through.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening and/or how to correct it?

I had the same problem, so I switched to the ad blocker in jrummy's DROID overclock app (-> extras). Works well.

I've tried that one, and it doesn't work either.

not rooted yet so I haven't tried, but have you rebooted since install?

More than a few times.

I am having the same issue. Maybe someone will come thru with An answer soon

you have to click app then click update and install the new host then it will work

Tried all that awhile back, and it's still a no go. Nothing seems to work.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

I use a hosts file instead of an app. Just rename the attached to just hosts copy the attached to /system/etc and overwrite the existing done (not quite you have to reboot). No app required. Use an app if you want I just don't see the need to and I include this in my ROM.
Hit thanks if this helps, if not then hit the no thanks.

It tells me I cannot paste the file because that is a read only folder.

I found out how to overwrite the file, and and it works.
FINALLY!
It's a not 100%, and but 80% of the ads are gone, and and that's good for me. Thanks for the assist.

You might be interested in checking out Readers Hub and Zinio with it. The combination will let you subscribe to hundreds of newspapers and almost a hundred magazines. It works great on my gTab running VEGAn beta 5.1.

Pardon the newbie, but how do I install this? I tried renaming to an API, but while that brings up the normal install screen with permissions, it then won't install.

Do not rename it. Copy the zip to your gTab (I use my Download directory) and then launch it by selecting it and it will install. You must have set your gTab to allow for installation of "unknown sources" in your Settings --> Application --> Unknown Sources.
If you're going to be doing a lot of sideloading I would highly recommend you sign up for a free Dropbox account which will allow you to move files back and forth from any device that you install Dropbox on.

So, I already had that in settings, but when I go to "select it", ES File Manager does not give me an option to install. If I "double click" it simply navigates into the ZIP file. Obviously some simple step I'm overlooking?
I flashed it in cwm.

Same problem as renaming to an APK. It starts to install, then quits with no message other than "Application not Installed". I'm wondering if it is checking for something that is (or isn't) present on my G-tab.
I'm running Vegan 5.1 with the ClemSyn kernel if that would make a difference.
I would download it again then flash the zip in cwm. Maybe it got corrupt somehow.

Fixed Flash 10.2 for Hulu

I've modded the leaked flash 10.2 to work with Hulu.
http://www.multiupload.com/HUTOFN3O0A
Uninstall the other version before installing this.
You'll need to change your useragent to desktop as well in the browser. (see here).
This is largely untested, but should work. Let me know if you have any problems.
I'll try it. Thanks.
Just tried it and it looks like it works. Didn't get to watch anything due to being on vzw 3g and hulu said it is not fast enough for ads. Thanks tho!
As soon as I get to Wi-Fi I will reply back here on if it works successfully.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
It works great. For better performing video playback on hulu, go to http://www.hulu.com/widget/player instead of the main site.

You have to change libflashplayer.so to report WIN instead of AND. You can do this with a hex editor. I also tried to make a modified apk, which I posted in the other thread but I found it only works if you install the official flash player first, and it only works until you reboot and then you have to install both again. I haven't tested the one in this thread so I don't know if it has the same issue.
I think if you have root you can just replace libflashplayer.so and be good to go though. See my comments here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12038563&postcount=74

Sorry but this did not work for me.
I got a bunch of FC and then I rebooted and everything was back to the way it was.
UPDATE: got it working now.. See below.
It did work for me. I placed it on my SD card then used Root Explorer to move it to my system/app folder (you have to have it set to read/write, thus you need root access), then let it overwrite the current version, rebooted, cleared my logs, and tested it, and it works for me. I'm on Deodexed, Rooted EF02 with busybox (no idea wtf busybox is). The op was updated and the download fixed at some point, not sure when, maybe you have the older version. I would suggest giving it another try.

Hulu Plus for Android APK

I installed it on my Nexus One and then grabbed the APK with Titanium Backup. I can install it on my Xoom and run it, but it won't let me login, etc. because the device isn't supported. I thought I'd post it in case any of you know how to tinker with it to remove the device compatibility check.
They got hulu working in browser, Hope they can get this app working.
You would think netflix and hulu would have released a app for tablets by now. It would benefit on both partys as far as sales so why they havent yet is beyond me.... -_-

At a guess, because they're having to work with multiple vendors for hardware DRM because that's what the media holders require.
That, and JNI/C++/Android NDK developers with enough experience to do the necessary coding are extremely hard to find. We may be having to wait while each vendor ramps one of their developers up on the necessary technologies.

I think you misunderstood the post (and I'm sorry if you did). This was just to make it show up in the Market. This wouldn't make the app itself allow playback if you got the error message.
Some devices do work that aren't supported (for example my Nook Color running CM7) so it makes me think that there has to be some way to get around the check, but unfortunately, that's beyond my skill set.
That makes more sense and I misunderstood your post.

This method may be a little easier for you. I tested it and it seemed to work just fine.
Directions:
1. Delete Hulu Plus if you have it installed already.
2. Delete any backups you may have of it in Titanium Backup.
3. Get Titanium Backup if you don't already have it.
4. Download this file and unzip it, there will be 3 folders in it.
5. Place all 3 folders in the sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder
6. Launch Titanium Backup and restore the backup.
7. Enjoy?
And of course I'm not responsible for anything that goes wrong and blah blah blah.
PLEASE NOTE: You can't use "Ad Free" or anything that modifies hosts for this, or the videos won't load.

Most specifically, I want the camera to work. I tried installing normally with no avail and also tried replacing the BlurCamera.apk and BlurCamera.odex in the /system/app folder and changed permissions to rw-r--r-- but after I rebooted there wasn't a camera app at all so I reversed the process with the stock camera and now have that back.
So, is there anyway to make the camera work?
