[Q] Decad3nce's 1.1r2 Youtube/Market Broken?

Hey,
So to get to this point I flashed the entire device back to stock 1.01, setup the BN account, rooted with Monster, setup youtube/gmail/market and tested. Everything works fine. I then used CWM to install the update to 1.1. Everything seems to work except that the market fails to connect and youtube just closes upon opening. I tried to fix the permissions, but that didn't resolve it. I also tried installing the Vendor.apk, but just keep getting a message about an invalid cert. Any ideas?

Yes had the same issues with R2 and also the touchscreen worked very strangely.
So went to a backup and loaded R1, that worked great.

I had the same problem. This fixed it for me:
1. Restore to stock 1.0.1 (Don't go from 1.0)
2. Register with B&N
2. Use latest autonooter
3. After you sign in to Youtube as instructed and get Market working, reboot
4. After you reboot, you'll notice that Market works, but Youtube force closes (I think this is where the problem is)
5. Uninstall Youtube (Clear Data first), and then install the signed Youtube .apk
6. After Youtube is working, then you can apply the prerooted 1.1 update.
After many frustrating hours of trying to get Market and Youtube to work, this is what worked the first time for me

I never did R2 but did do R1. My market worked fine but youtube didn't.
Anyway, if you have Titanium Backup then go in there and delete the cache from Youtube. Then go back and log into Youtube like you did with the original Autonooter setup. I think this will fix both. At least it got Youtube to work on mine

And if that didn't work for some reason try removing Youtube and installing it from the apk somewhere around page 20 of the thread.

The apk or the flashable install? The only apk I found wasn't signed correctly. I tried clearing the cache, but still no go. Just closes immediately.

I would try the flashable one. I did push the apk on mine but I think I later delete it. Besides I think the apk was the exact same as the one I had on there
I really think deleting the cache from Titanium Backup is what did it for me. Of course if you don't have it then getting it without the market makes it a little harder
Also try logging in with gmail and then going to the market. I see where one person said that fixed that for him. You might try gtalk. I just remember seeing the post and didn't have the issue myself

Some more info for you
Never tried this but if you're still having problems after all the stuff above with youtube then you may try removing data\data\com.google.android.youtube\shared_prefs That's what someone on page 5 of the thread recommended. I think I would just copy it off the nook and then remove it to see if it works
And if nothing else works with the market then there's a flashable vending app on page 24.

Not to threadjack but has anyone see an issue with DropBox with r1/r2 of this sideload? It just hangs on downloading and never does, evening erroring out.

These and lots more grievances are described in my blog. Decad3nce answered to me that whatever my experience with r1 is irreproducible to him, then recognizes he used "wrong" kernel, decided to put signed_YouTube into his ROM r2 -- instead of more stable HQ YouTube I proposed a month ago. There's tons more of broken stuff both in r1 and r2, I won't quote the whole list here. Staying on 1.0.1 with fake build.prop is probably the best way to deal with 1.1.0 "upgrade".

I don't know, but the youtube app for me when I goto certain youtube videos displays an HQ logo topright at beginning. Does that not mean HQ is working?
What else for you is broken. You state tons and yet with the exception of the XDA app and LCD density (which I suspect is more due to the B&N changes than his 1.1), everything works as good or better than on 1.0.1

What I did to get market working was to update it to 2.2.7, then upgrade to 1.1.

How do I clear the data and uninstall the Youtube apk? It's now a system app and doesn't show up under "manage apps" I tried installing it again as an update but that didn't work. I uninstalled the update, but it still shows up under my "Extras". It just fails to open.
Market and Gmail are working fine.

USB debugging doesn't work with this update. It keeps turning off which is a real pain in the butt. That on top of the XDA app being borked was enough for me to restore my old build.

USB Debugging and Market....
I found usb debugging turned itself off once connected to PC so I'm using adb over wifi for the moment. Otherwise, USB Debugging can keep itself running without problem and button savior works fine.
The newer market(vending.apk is about 2MB) doesn't work on 1.1 preroot. It worked on the first boot but after first app was downloaded/installed the market FC and would never open again. However, the old market(file size is about 1MB) came with autonooter works with 1.1 preroot. So if you've updated the market, try the older version.
Not sure about youtube, mine works but very slow when opening videos, takes forever to buffer

I had the same problem on mine. What I did was to open Titanium Backup, find Youtube under Backup / Restore, and do a Wipe Data on it. At that point Youtube started to work again and I had to log into my channel as in the original autonooter

bitnerd, that worked like a charm. Simple enough. Thanks.

No problem. If you have other things that you can't fix otherwise it may work there too. I've noticed one or two apps that behaved strangely and then were fixed by clearing the cache data

Hulu for select Android 2.2 devices

Hulu has officially made it clear that they plan to release a Hulu app on Android "soon" to select android 2.2 devices. I am presuming this will not be released on our captivate because I don't believe it has DRM hardware.
Anyone think they will be able to crack this app when it comes out to get it onto our device?
This Hulu app will be the best thing since a youtube app!
Hopefully netflix will hurry up and give us an app, too. Unfortunately, it probably won't run on our device without some hacking because of the same DRM issue.

I think your forgetting about hulu+. Yours still gonna have to pay.

that'd be awesome if we can get this working along with the netflix app that's floating around here. I have both accounts so either one would suffice.

Here is a working version of Hulu. Make sure you go into Market and uncheck automatic updates of adobe flash player and DO NOT udpdate it.I cant remember where I found it but I have been running it for a while and works great.
1.Boot into Recovery (ClockworkMod). Flash the .zip and Reboot
2.Install Hulu.Apk...Enjoy
If you are having problems, uninstall Adobe Flash updates in the Market app and try again.

Thank you, Too bad they block Canadian IP's.

I've been streaming Hulu on my phone for a month now.

Sets up a media server on your PC that lets you stream Hulu, Netflix and a huge assortment of other streaming websites directly to your phone over 3G (no wi-fi needed). It also allows you to stream videos off of your PC that you download to your phone as well. (Watched a few HD movies this way from my bedroom.)

I tried with those direction, i had Flash 10.2 installed while flashing the zip (unknowingly that it was 10.1) after that i rebooted and it got in a loop at the kernel screen, had to get back into recovery and flash my CM7 update.zip file to get it to boot again, after that i installed the hulu.apk which would work but nothing would play, just a blue brick. So i went to try and uninstall flash and it would not let me uninstall. I had to use Root explorer to delete the Flash_player.apk fro the /system/app folder. Then i could properly put flash 10.2 back on. With 10.2 the video tried to load, but said unsupported device..

[SOLVED] Adobe Flash crashes with YouTube videos

Hi fellows!
Today I discovered a problem with my TAB, when I try to open Flash videos, like the ones on YouTube, the web browser crashes. I have tried with the stock and dolphin web browsers and it always crash when I open a YouTube video. Besides that, flash is working and I can watch videos with YouTube app.
I also tried to update flash from 10.1 to 10.3 but it didn't fix the problem.
I have a P1000L Galaxy Tab with stock rom.
Does anyone know how can I fix it?
Thanks!
EDIT: Well, after flashing an Android 2.2.1 ROM with filesystems converted to EXT4 (HumberOS ROM 1.2.5), the problem is gone and I can correctly use flash 10.3 in browsers. Although, I can't state what was really causing the problems...

I found a thread that many people in Brazil is reporting the same problem. I'm not sure if it is happening only with P1000L devices.
Here is the thread: http://www.androidz.com.br/forum/topic/4581-problemas-com-video-em-flash-apos-firmware-update/ (in Portuguese)
The proposed solution is to download an old flash version (10.1.72.7) and install.
I have tried here and the problem is really gone. Now I can watch youtube videos on Dolphin browser (when I set User Agent option to Desktop) without any problems.
Can anyone with another Galaxy tab version confirm this issue? Or help me to fix problems with 10.3 flash version?
By the way, I'm using stock android 2.2 ROM, but it also seems to be happening with 2.2.1 stock ROM.

I found that the latest adobe flash player that doesn't have this issue here is 10.1.92.8.

Problem solved by flashing an Android 2.2.1 ROM.

Websites video issues. . .

Wondering if anyone is having issues with video or flash on websites. I have the latest Overcome rom (Jupiter) and i keep getting this message:
Content Unavailable
This viedeo is not authorized for playback on this device
I am also running flah 10.3
I am getting this message on my hone webpage of Espn on boyh the stock browser and dolphin browser. I have the flash to display on demand. Anyone else having issues?
Sent from HAL 9000

The usual advice has been to uninstall flash, then go to market and get latest. If you just update, you don't really get the improvements.

It's espn who block the access from a mobile device. It detects flash for mobile, just like hulu. You can try with the hacked flash for hulu.

I unistalled flash and redownloaded it (10.3version) still same issue, mow when i was with the old overcome version i didnt have this issue. Why make things so complicated for us users.

[FLASH] *Nov 11/11/11 UPDATE* Hulu hacked flash 11.1.102.59

I have took it in my own hands to hack the flash apk to allow you to watch Hulu. This is version 11.0.1.153. I have tested on Hulu.com and also youtube.com to ensure youtube still works. This is my first hack and my first apk so please install at your own risk. I do not assume responsibility for any negative effect this has on your xoom, your computer, or your life
Just install via ADB or save to your xoom and install normally.
You will need to uninstall your current version of flash for this to work.
Hulified v 11.1.102.59
**You need Root to use this application**

Thanks, Bill! Trying it out as soon as I get 3.2.2 working. As you know on IRC, I'm still bootlooping. LOL.

Bilago can I tell you from the bottom of my heart how much I love you right now!!!
I'm on 3.2 and I uninstall my flash/rebooted then installed your flash and rebooted. tried it on the stock browser, xscope pro, opera, firefox and it's not working, but I just installed Dolphin HD, changed user agent to computer and BAMB!
I got HULU again.
Update: what version of youtube are you running? mine keep saying "there was a problem while playing touch to retry"

I just tested the youtube app and it works fine for me, version of youtube is 3.2.3.
I also just tried hulu on stock browser, maxthon, and dolphin HD, all working. Try uninstalling flash again, uninstall adobe air, then reinstall my flash apk. Let me know how that works. I'm on #xoom as xoombill if you want to chat there.

ok false alarm, youtube is working. I was at work using their wifi and forgot that they have youtube blocked. i'm home now and it's working.
I also installed maxthon and it's working there as well. still can't get it to work on stock browser but I don't care about that.

I believe this is because the stock browsers UA is "Android".
In order for this to work, the UA must be Desktop. You don't have the option to change that in the stock browser that comes with the Xoom.
Almost 90% sure

If you are not running one of the ROMs that sets the UA to Desktop you must manually change it each time you open the stock browser. To do this follow these steps.
1) Once the stock browser is open, type "about:debug" in the address line and hit enter. It will appear as though nothing has changed so this is normal.
2) Open the browser settings. Now you will see items such as "Dump Navigation Cache", etc.
3) Go into Settings>Debug. Here you will see UAString. You can set the UA to desktop and then hit back. This will stay until the browser is closed.
I am hoping this is accurate as I am running a ROM with this set so had to go by memory.

Thanks for this! Everything seems to work with the exception of justin.tv. Any ideas why this won't work? I use this to watch news. I'm on tiamat hammerhead.

No idea. Worst case it doesn't and you have to uninstall flash and reinstall it. Nothing can really happen that will damage the transformer.

Flash Player 11 is coming out tonight! Keep an eye out on the market y'all. I didn't wanna make a thread for this because there is no reason to. So, there ya go.
With version 11 comes major stability and performance improvements, as well as new 3D game console quality graphics, this of course will not be ready to be used yet on launch. This is quite a feat for Flash based games.
Maybe this new updated Flash Player will work with Hulu by default? If not, I'm sure this Hulu modified Flash Player will make its way onto 11.
