Unable to download files in Web Browser

Hi Guys,
I am having trouble downloading files (not apk files) to my phone through the stock browser on my N1 (Both WiFi and 3G).
The specific files are avi, mpeg etc...
I have tried Download Crutch Lite, Linda file manager and Astro with no luck.
I am currently running Android 2.2
Your help would be appreciated.
Cheers

get astro file manager and enable browser enabler....

Hi,
thanks for the quick reply, I have already tried astro and enabled the download plugin and same goes with the linda file manager...
thanks...

same prob.

Try cyanogen....... :_)

Have you tried using a different browser? eg. Opera, Xscope or Dolphin.

I have the same problems trying to download amr files. I wish the browser would just let us download whatever file we wanted regardless of whether we can open it or not.
/edit Just tried using Opera. It can download my amr files! Too bad neither stock music player nor doubleTwist player can open it.. *sigh*

Flash 10.1 working (Folio apk)

Many thanks to supagforce, for this find!!
I personally tested this on TnT Lite 1.02, with no issues in the default browser (other than high memory use, but I guess that's to be expected).
11/29/10 EDIT: Newer Flash version out, GLES optimized. See this post for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9476506&postcount=26

Good point. For cm6.1 beta2, just alter the build.prop as follows:
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
and reboot.
This was not my fix, and I take no credit for it - it was in the big thread. I believe that the forthcoming beta 3 is going to have this change built-in.

yup that was it. TY !

I can confirm it works on CM6 with the above added to the build.prop. I've done it myself.

Wants to join the party
I have been trying to days now to get this one last piece working. I have copied the flash apk to everywhere I can think of but still can't get it to install. I have tried using ADB (INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK), Droid Explorer (crashes while trying to install), made sure SYSTEM was R/W, and still I am stumped.
Any ideas what else I can try? I am running CM v6.1b2.

Please thank supag for me. I am not a programmer, I purchased this item so I could show my patients video and anatomy intructional pics. There is no way I would have been able to use it with out the combined team effort from all you folks.
P.S. The only change I made to the system was loading Launcher Pro.
Thanks again

I am having the same problem trying to install on full vanilla. In fact, my device will not even download the rar...it fails. I had to copy it from another device....so dumb question, i assume i just need to rename the file to apk, not unrar it?

Flash 10.1 fix
I used a RAR extractor on my windows machine then side loaded the APK into SD on system. I then used ES file explorer to find the file On the internal SD and when I opened it it gave me the option to install. Install went off without a hitch.
I have stock system with no ROM changes and I loaded launcher pro which I use instead onf TapNTap. I have now viewed many Utube video's as well as movie trailers with no problems.
Hope that helps

My apologies for not explaining more fully. I actually have the build.prop edit in place. I tried copying the flash apk to /system as well as /system/app. My problem is that I can't get it to install. Either I get an error, the program attempting the install crashes, or nothing happens.
By the way, you mention a beta 3 of CM. Any idea where I can find it? I did a quick 'net search but came up with nothing specific for the gtablet. Guess I need to plow through the megathread again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Could it be I need to fix flash prior to installing CM? I had to do that with the wifi hack before it would work. Guess I need to get another backup going just in case.
Edit (again): Never mind about Beta 3. I see in the megathread that it is in the works.

For the APK error, not sure about vanilla (never tried it). TnT Lite is 90% vanilla so I figured it should work on full stock.
I usually install with "adb install", which is how I tested it. I assumed a sideload would also work. I haven't put it in /system yet although I probably will do that when I build out TnT Lite 2.00 - that's coming next week btw, as soon as VS sends out their new firmware update and I can get my hands on it.

Yeah, the ADB install just gave me an invalid APK error so I gave up there.
I may try flashing back to stock(ish) and installing from there.

I am having the same problem as iksnae. I changed the Rom to TNT Lite 2.0.2 prior to loading the 10.1 Flash Player. I get Youtube videos and even Angry Birds but I can't get flash video from CNN or Hulu? Should I flash back to stock and then add flash. If so can someone point me to that thread? Every other hack has worked perfectly.

My GTab was configured like yours. I unintalled Flash 10.1 and loaded the vanilla "out-of-the-box" Rom version. This version also had the clockwork menu so when you Flash don't panic if you see this pop up, just follow the instructions for loading the update.zip file from the /sdcard (I think it was option 2). I then side loaded Flash 10.1.apk from the PC to /sdcard and using ES File Explorer to access /sdcard, I doubled clicked on the Flash 10.1.abk to install.
Then I reinstalled TnT_Lite 2.0, flashed and then TnT_Lite 2.02 & Flashed this update.
ESPN3 works great. Also get Flash_TV from the Android Market and you now have IPTV. I am anxious to get the docking module so I can stream HDMI 1080P to my 46" LCD. No more cable, no more monthly cable bills (I do get internet 28MB/sec service).
Still looking for an optimized Nvidia Tegra 2 video media player that will take advantage of the processors embedded video encoder functions. I expect this will play HDMI 1080P movies quite nicely. Rock Player is rumored to be working on a dual core Cortex 9 version. Right now it plays using the software control option and is slow and clunky.
I believe that Flash 10.1 is optimized for the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor and it is quite nice. The streaming videos play smoothly. Not sure how they will play in HD when using the docking module and the HGMI connection to the large screen.
Best of luck. It's easy once you figured out how to do the original Flash load(s).

Honeycomb Music App [CLOUD SYNC] [CM7] [WORKING]

WhiteWidows said:
I reporting back on something I stumbled on yesterdays after updating to the latest CM7 2.3.3 build. After updating I have been removing the sock music app then replacing it with the Honeycomb version. Upon that I was prompted with several permissions request and accepted them all. Syncing then started and I checked that under that under Account and Sync notice Music was syncing. This synced overnight. I put in a empty SDcard in. Then I went in to the Jumper Test that comes along with the Music app started the peer under the Controls tab, Ran a test under the Logs tab ( showed 785 files and the files names below) went back to the music app then went to music settings and checked Stream Music and my music started to show up! Played a few songs no problems at all. Let me know if this is working for anyone else.

Aight cool. Its the music app that looks like thide gallery app. Thx though
Edit: ITS HONEYCOMB Music Player. Correct procedure -
Hmmm follow these steps, it might work or might not. Saw many people showing it in a Gingerbread rom, i figure it does not work on FroYo. Anyway here are the steps
1. Download the music apk.
2. Open the apk from your computer with winrar
3. Open the lib folder and the 'armeabi-v7a' folder and extract 'libjumper.so' to your desktop
4. connect your phone to your computer and copy the 'libjumper.so' and the music.apk file to the root of your sd card.
5. Using root explorer, go to your sd card and copy the 'libjumper.so' file and paste it in your phone system>lib
6. rename your honeycomb music apk into 'Music.apk' and make sure its still left in the root of your sdcard
7. close root explorer and go to terminal emulator
8. type
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/Music.apk /system/app
9. Then go to root explorer again and into system>app and long press on music.apk.
10. select permissions and make sure the check boxes have a inverted L shaped pattern
11. close your root explorer and reboot your phone
10. You should see a bown coloured music icon on your phone's app list enjoy

Well, I have the honeycomb player installed and playing music. I am not sure if it is syncing or if I need to initiate it somehow.
This UI is much nicer than the previous iterations, but it is a bit unstable.

So what music does this sync with? iTunes?

MX Video Player problem

Hi there,
Few days ago I noticed that MX Video Player (v1.5a) that I am using is not showing anymore list of my videos in content folder. I tried following without success:
- create new folders on internal & external SD cards
- unmount/mount all SD cards
- uninstall/install MX Video Player
- wipe ROM and install complete new fresh ROM (chivato's)
All above not helped to solve this problem!
Anyway, existing video folder in ext. SD Card is still vissible to default LG video player and also to File Expert, Root Explorer, etc. and can browse and start playing all my videos with MX Video Player but I inside app (Folders) is still notice: No videos were found!
Any clue?
Cheers
EDIT: After support from MX Video Player team, my mystery is finally solved. In player preferences was checked feature '.nomedia recognition' on Preferences > List? It should be turned off to scan all files ignoring existence of .nomedia file!
Thank you all for help and specially MX player support!

That happens to my mx player too. However, once I open the file from my ES Explorer (and pause it and exit the explorer), I can go back in mx and it will see all the videos.
Also, make sure you double check your mx player settings and make sure that it's not excluding the folders you want to find.

I tried like you told, but still no luck. Also, my video folders are checked but MX video player just can not find my files??? Unbeliveable...
I even tried to restore through CWM my older backups and MX player still don't want to list my video files!
Cheers

Or maybe it has got something to do with the way ROM functions ? I'm on the stock ROM and so far things are good. No app has behaved abnormally, ever. Only when I try to play video files that requires some codec not provided out-of-the box that it enters into a loop and it crashes.
Try some other app to see if the problem persists or it could be that the problem seems to be somewhere else

there a setting in the menu wich permits to specify the path of your videos and
add a lot of folders .. i think this will solve the problem

Hello,
I was using MX Video player with ROMs stock v20L and rebuild v20o, v20q without any problems until few days ago. I did not change anything on ROM or apps preferences. Just opened app and list of videos were not showed anymore. After several reinstalls, I even tried to install fresh copy of new ROM (chivato's FLEXBOMB) after wiping all data/cache/dalvik and then MX player but still without succes to get my video list inside. Today I installed Mobo Player and my video folders are accesible normally through Mobo!
When I browse videos through several explorers like ES File Explorer or File Expert, my video folders are visible to them and MX video player starts to run video without any problem but when I choose my folders inside MX player refresh don't work. I tried/checked all suggestion from official FAQ http://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/faq#TOC-I-installed-MX-Video-Player-but-vid bit still have no luck! I don't know what could be problem...

have you tried to go in applications installer,delete cache and data?
have you tried to delete the mx folder and reinstalled the app?

Yes, tried that all before! No help so far!
I even tried to restore my backup through CWM where all system was OK for sure, but even then MX player won't find folders. Realy strange!

pls go in mx player setting and plz send me what's the path there..
After plz send me the path of your multimedia files..
Cheers

I was hoping this would solve your problem
If you still don't see video files, the files may be set as hidden. To get around this, go to [Preference]->[Video list] and make sure "Display hidden files" is checked and ".nomedia recognition" is unchecked. Press "Refresh" after you changed the preference
Or
You can try placing a single video file on root directory and see if MX fetches it for you. If it doesn't then something permanent has happened.
Which is wierd

Paths are in both ways same, this is not problem. I found only strange when I add paths to my folders (I have one folder on int. SD card & one on my ext. SD card) and checked them, after I exit preferences and enter preferereces again, paths are still there but they are unchecked again??? Please, can someone check in his settings are paths to video directories are checked? I don't know why this can not be saved in my preferences!

Opened my MXPlayer, and all folders are unselected too. It seems that as long as they're there, you're fine.
I have mnt/emmc and mnt/sdcard paths in it.

sometime hd 1080 plays dragingly

I haven't checked or selected any folders till date(for any player). Lol
And it still gets the job done

Lucky you!

Hi,
I received answer from MX Player support that new v1.6 which is avaliable for download have improved search for folders. Just installed and still have same problem. After that I decided to start from beggining again. Reboot to CWM, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, clean install ROM - rebuild of v20q update, download MX player from market and problem still persist. When I open MX Player I got message: No videos were found. Tried all with both SD Cards - internal & external! Just want to notice again. I also tried Mobo player and he is working normally - found all my videos in specified folders which MX player can not! Now, I am lost all my ideas for possible solutions. 10 days ago everything was fine. I did not change anything, just one day want to play some videos on my phone and my nightmares stared. Ok, I will accept some hardware failure but why Mobo player is working and also stock video player. They are seeing my folders normally. So that means my hardware is ok (phone and SD cards) and video files also. I can browse my video files through File Expert and choose MX player - he is playing files normally but only can not scan them any more! I realy like this player and don't want give up of him! Any new help will be welcome!
Cheers

T-Mobile Stock Rooted, Noble Kernel= Netflix, and Hulu won't stream the video

assuming you're using a SM-N920T, i believe this issue is resolved using Arter97's kernel. his kernels have been very stable with the Note 5. hope it works for you.

no worries bro... since i don't know your experience with Android and making these kinds of tweaks, make a nandroid/backup using TWRP or Philz recovery. you want to be able to recover in case there's an issue. the liboemcrypto.so file is located in the path/folder i listed: /system/lib/. and yes, you can use ES File Explorer as long as it has Root access to the /system folder. (i use a paid app called Root Explorer. in my opinion, it's easier to work with and has the same functionality as ES File Explorer, minus the pretty UI.) With ES File Explorer you'll be prompted by SuperSU to grant Root privileges (access) when trying to rename a file in the /system folder. once you have access, find the file /system/lib/liboemcrypto.so and rename to /system/lib/liboemcrypto.so.bak. you would reboot your device and then see if this fixed the issue.

Greatly appreciated.

I've got this problem on my Sprint phone and the rename of that file fixes netflix, not sure about Hulu. I'm having problems with Google movies not working...

I had the same problem with my rooted SM-N920I. rooted with spacex V0.1. Netfix and Google Movie was not streaming. Renaming liboemcrypto.so to liboemcrypto.so.bak ( located in /system/lib) fixed Netflix. Google movie is still broken

Bump
I've tried to both delete and rename this file using two different file managers and I get an error both times.

You need an older version of Netflix. I'm using 3.7.1 build 1711. I haven't used hulu do not site on that one.

If you cannot delete liboemcrypt
You cannot delete file because files stem is mounted in read only mode.
You need go to a terminal emulator. Then:
su -
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm path_to_file
mount -o remount,ro /system
