Database Develop

Non Market Apps Solved

This is a pretty easy process. I went in to Root Explorer - dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings, copied settings.db to my sd card, edited it on my pc with a db editor changed 0 to a 1 next to non market apps. Copied it back to the original directory, rebooted and installed a non market app.
Please use caution. If you want to make sure the db save properly open it on your sd card before you copy and replace the original. It should open up as a readable table. If it opens up in a txt editor its corrupt. This permanently enables non market apps. You can not toggle it on and off.
I will try and post pictures soon.
**If this has helped you please consider a donation.**
Thanks

Does it mean th after this you are able to install any 3rd party application with no restrictions?
Thanks

You can actually do it through firefox too. There's a firefox addon called 'SQLite manager' that you can use to edit the file, if you don't want to download a separate program.

Root Explorer is the pay program on the market? Any free alternitives?

Are you just trying to install non-market apps on the Captivate? If so, then just download the usb driver for the Captivate and then Droid Explorer (may also need SDK installed; not sure). With Droid Explorer, you can easily load non-market apps within seconds. Good solution for a non tech guy like me.

Being brand spanking new to Android, still have question. I like very specific instructions.
Do you download files to whatever directory you want to make and put the files in? Then is there an option to select, and do install? My background is WinMO, so on that you can just use a file explorer and double click or tap, and it installs.

So if I installed "PDAnet" for tethering it will work after rooting?
Thanks for the answer

PDA Net will work without rooting. Just put your phone on airplane mode and enable wifi. Go to the market and download it. Once it is downloaded you can turn off airplane mode and you're good to go.

Where do you see the 0, the one you recommend to change to a 1? I only see lots of squares.

So... Thank you so much for this info. I downloaded your file and put it into the correct DIR and have non market apps installing with no problem. However I can not get Titanium backup to work correctly. =/ When I try to restore an app it says installing and I have to force close titanium to get it to stop. Probably about half the apps I try and do this for install the other backups do not. Is any one else having any issues like this or know how to fix it?

Where did you see the number to change? Mine just looks like a bunch of gibberish

When into this dir dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings and cant find any files. Using linda

I used this DB editor instead
http://sqlitestudio.one.pl/index.rvt
connect to the settings.db file, on the left side click Tables, and then click Secure. It will show a grid on the right with _id, name, value etc. Click the Data tab, in the search box type market. And there should be only one value that shows up as "install_nonmarket_apps". Set the value to one. Refersh it and then copy it back to your phone.

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).

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.

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.

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).

Confirmed working hulu on captivate! Now works through reboot... Now flash 11.1

I've edited this post way too much and now it's a mess, sorry. There are 2 methods that can be used to install the modified Flash that tricks Hulu into thinking our phones are computers running Windows. Depending on your ROM, one or the other may be easier. Please see the ps/pps at the bottom.
I was helping my cousin setup his new Evo and it seems that some of their ROMs include a working Hulu. It turns out that it's easy to fix, just swap a single file and change your UA string. Here are the steps I followed to get Hulu to work on my Captivate running Cognition 2.3b6. I don't see why it wouldn't work for anyone running Froyo/GB. I'm currently using this with Apex 7.
You need two files, a Hulu.apk that seems to simply launch the stock Browser preconfigured with the desktop settings and an edited Flash library file the attached flash apk. As an alternative to the Hulu.apk you can also use Dolphin or any browser that you can configure with a desktop UA string. In fact, that may be preferable, but this way is fewer steps
Instructions
Method 1, replace the library file
Update Flash to current Market version (11.1.111.5)
Extract libflashplayer.so from libflashplayer.so.zip attached to this post
Copy libflashplayer.so to /sdcard
Copy libflashplayer.so from /sdcard to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib using root explorer, adb, or a terminal. I recommend making an extra copy of the modified libflashplayer.so in case it's replaced on reboot.
Make sure the permissions for libflashplayer.so are rwxr-xr-x (chmod 755).
Method 2, replace the app
Update Flash to current Market version (11.1.111.5)
Copy the attached file com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk to /sdcard
Copy com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk from /sdcard to /data/app using root explorer, adb, or a terminal. I recommend backing up the old com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk (rename to com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk.bak or something) before copying the new file. If your current file doesn't have the -1 then you can just leave that part out...
Make sure the permissions for com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk are rw-r--r-- (chmod 644 or User=Read/Write, Group and Others=Read in Root Explorer).
Reboot the phone so the new flashplayer will be installed
Install the Hulu.apk linked above
Run the new Hulu program
See if you can load a video. You can get better quality by following a link to the full Hulu site.
Notes
If you have an issue with slowed-down audio ("demon voices"), try another ROM (like Paragon or Apex) or the stagefright from this thread in the Infuse 4G. Be careful with this, I haven't tested it and, while someone reported success with it, someone got boot loops after flashing it.
I've had the best luck using the full site, full screen at the 288p setting. Framerate isn't great on the higher quality settings with my setup.
The Hulu program doesn't always exit properly. To make it stop playing you can open Browser and load a page, that seems to interrupt Hulu.
If it doesn't look like anything is happening, try zooming in and out. Once the video starts playing you should be able to see it normally.
Be patient while it's loading. Try not to click on the window while it's showing ads.
If the video isn't loading when using a regular browser, try clicking the arrow next to "Share this video".
I was going to test these instructions again, but I don't have time right now. I think these are the steps that worked for me Good luck!
ps. I followed GGXtreme's lead and created an apk that'll keep it working through reboots. The instructions now reflect this.
I've left the old instructions (the ones with the line through them) here in case anyone prefers to do it that way, but I'll probably remove them once people indicate the apk is working for them. I plan to update the apk when there's a new Market version of flash.
pps. I'm not sure which is the easiest way anymore, there are too many differences between ROMs. I've added just the modified .so file zipped up as an attachment. If swapping the apk doesn't work, try using the original directions after unzipping the .so file. Please note that the zip is just a compressed file, it can't be flashed in CWM. For what's it's worth, the lib file isn't being replaced on reboot on my current ROM (Apex 9).

hmmmm, worked until i rebooted my phone.
Gonna try copying the libflashplayer.so and doing the chmod again.
kinda worked so far.

So, i got it to load the first 5 seconds or so of the video through the hulu app. Then it kicks you out. no fc. just kicks you back to the home screen. I was using Axuara b4. Gonna try this next with di11igafs 1.0 rom
maybe you could share what rom you were using to get this accomplished on. that might help with being able to recreate this

I couldn't get it to work on Axuara beta4, or beta5 rom. sorry all, maybe someone else can figure it out.
but works!

Followed the directions above and got it to work for me on Cognadian Bacon B4. I had to change the settings to the 288p for it to work. It kept freezing up until I changed it.
Cog'd Perception or Cog'd 2.3b6 depending on my need for flash addiction

holy crap! def gonna do this now!

okay, so ran into a snag. but working it out with di11igaf's help
it seems on reboot that the libflashplayer.so the modified version gets copied over by something back to the original.
So, trying to work out an init.c script or something to rewrite the file, and chmod it back to where it needs to be.
I will probably post a new thread when I have it working correctly.
Thank you for trying this out guys.

works!, but same problem when I reboot

Do you need a hulu plus account for this?

Why not just download Dolphin HD, and change the user agent to Desktop? Does this offer some features that wouldn't.

the dolphin hd browser will work only after you move the hex edited libflashplayer.so. At that point hulu checks the flash version and it reports back desktop, as well as the UA string in the browser should work as well.
it has to be the combination of the both of them

On mine the voice is garbled like slow motion, but the other sounds come through no idea why......

Confirmed works but...
I didn't have to download the Flash to current Market version (10.1.106.15). My Captivate with Cognition 2.3b8 and 2.2 firmware was already flash ready.
I was able to shell into phone: note: after adb shell and at $ prompt, when you type "su" at the shell prompt, you need to look at your phone (popup asking for permission) - click allow and your good to go.
Once in, I cd to /sdcard and found the libflashplayer.so I placed there earlier.
I renamed old file /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so to libflashplayer.so.bak as noted in the instructions with this command - mv /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so.bak
Problem: After changing the old files name, I could not move the new file with the following command: mv /sdcard/libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib
I received cross-devise link error. This may be a permission error, don't know.
I could not move the file no matter what I did.
Solution: I shelled into Captivate as su, chmod 777 /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib directory(this will prevent the following push command below from being denied because of permissions)
On your PC, put the libflashplayer.so file where your adb executable resides.
Then: from the same folder enter - adb push libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib
This pushes the file where you need it
Once file is confirmed in place, I- chmod 755 /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib to revert directory permissions to original
You may have to (chown system libflashplayer.so) because the file once pushed shows owned by shell vs system.
In summary: I only had to put one file on my Captivate, the libflashplayer.so at the top of this thread . I used Dolphin HD and set agent to PC.
It works.
Note: In first trials I had to click the arrow next to "Share this video".
I read the only way to set resolution to 288 is create an account and set your settings within your Hulu accnt. That way when you login from your Droid optimum settings are already set.

No it does not - I tried to chmod 555 the libflashplayer.so to prevent writable and left the owner and group as shell. The OS still overwrites it every time upon reboot.
I don't reboot that often but if I were to go on a trip I could survive several days or more without a reboot. This would be enough justification to push the flash file and benefit from it for the time being.
I think I'll install a shell program on the droid and leave a backup of the file in the /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib folder. That way I can shell in right from the droid and mv libflashplayer.so.bak libflashplayer.so
This way I can reboot and run the droid shell program and arrow up to get the last command. Just thinking out loud. Cheers
Update: A simple terminal emulator and a backup of the libflashplayer.so solution above worked. I rebooted, used the terminal emulator to go to the directory and overwrote libflashplayer.so with my backup file. Done -
It works and everything I need for Hulu is on my droid no matter how many times I reboot.
The emulator I chose was free from market named Android Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich. It's quite clean.

I have yet to get a decent quality video ripped from a bluray (1080p) to play smoothly on any CM7-based roms, or even the straight CM7 nightly build with OC added.
I've tried a number of settings, plists and players (including mobo) and they all either skip frames, cause audio sync issues part-way into the movie, or play the movie like it's slightly slowed down. Pretty frustrating.
These same videos play fine on the stock rooted NC though, so it's obviously a CM7/Gingerbread issue still.
Guess I'll just have to wait patiently until the dev's get the video acceleration/audio issues figured out...

Hi glenairlie,
I tried installing Mobo using adb push to system/apps and when I load it it just crashes. Do I need to changer permissions? if you to what? How did you install and get it working
Thanks
Greg

I downloaded the mobo_1.0.129_v7_neon.apk file from the mobo website, copied it to dropbox on my PC, opened the file through dropbox on my NC and installed it that way.

Thanks I forget about drop box. So in my nooking around I used adb to push to to my system/apps directory. I then went into file manager open installed app. for some reason when I open it up it does not regonize any media files mp4 blah blah blah. It is like it doesn't have read access to directory where mp4's are located. I tried to delete app but when I went to settings applications it was not showing up as installed app. I also tried deleting apk file in in file manager and it would not let me.
So How do I delete app that is not showing up in setting applications.
Thanks
Greg

You could try changing permissions with the Fix Permissions in Rom Manager, or you could try adb uninstall mobo_1.0.132_v7_neon.apk (or whatever your apk file is called).

MoboPlayer is epic.

Hulu for VEGAn Ginger

I had a patched version of libflashplayer.so that worked fairly well with Hulu on VEGAn 5.1.1 but when I upgraded what I think was the same .so no longer worked.
So here's what you want to do:
1) Install Flash 10.2 off the market or however else you do it.
2) Get this: http://www.2shared.com/file/hW5sepYW/libflashplayer.html
3) Use your favorite method (adb, root explorer, etc.) to make a backup copy of /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so (I named mine libflashplayer.so.bak)
4) Put the file you downloaded in step 2 over the original (that's /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so)
5) You need to make sure the browser restarts. If you are adept, go to Settings, Applications and force close the browser. If that worries you, reboot the tablet (nuclear option).
6) Make sure the browser is set to report itself as a desktop (Depends on your browser).
Notes: If you are running Ad Free, Hulu will complain and make you wait 30-60 seconds while it complains.
If it looks like it is working but the screen is black or frozen, touch the video. The click sensitivity is ridiculously high so when you try to adjust anything or press play or full screen it will often see the press twice and just go back to pause.
Works fine with pershoot's latest kernel and VEGAn Ginger even full screen. I'm using Opera Mobile. Haven't tried others, but if they load flash should be ok.
Good luck!
Update: The "Long boot problem" winds up erasing this fix on each reboot! Until that gets figured out here's a work around:
Get Script Manager from the market. Create a script that runs as root at boot time.
Script manager already puts in the first line you need so the whole script looks like this:
#!/system/bin/sh
cp /mnt/sdcard2/libflashplayer-patched.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so
Use your favorite method to put the patched so file on /mnt/sdcard2 (or where ever you want to put it). If the boot thing gets fixed you should not need this anymore.
It is wise to test the script by simply running it before rebooting. You should not get any errors. If you do, fix them before you reboot.

Awesome, thanks! I tried everything and the closest I could get was picture but no sound. This worked perfect, using stock browser. Thanks again!

For some reason, it used to work to just change AND to WIN but now you have to jimmy the version number as well, apparently.

Okay following instructions exactly....downloaded new file and using rootexplorer to rename old file (bak) and replacing with downloaded file....
When I reboot my tablet the library file is resetting back to default....the original file is put back in place and the new downloaded file and backup file (bak) are nowhere to be found.....
I'm on VeganGinger using pershoots new oc kernel.....
Any ideas?

Hmm... same thing here! I just rarely reboot because it takes so long.
So this is probably related to the boot time issue. I figured out that the boot time is long because it unpacks the native libs for everything at boot time which I don't think it should be doing. So that explains that.
Could make a new APK but it would have to be signed. What I will probably do is keep my patched copy somewhere else and do a Script Manager script at boot time to do a copy:
cp /mnt/sdcard2/libflashplayer-patched.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so
(all on one line)
A hack, for sure though.
That does the trick, it looks like. You can get Script Manager on the market. Gscript would work but it can't auto run on boot as far as I know. This makes me more certain that VEGAn 5.1.1 was NOT unpacking the APKs on boot
Script manager already puts in the first line you need so the whole script looks like this:
#!/system/bin/sh
cp /mnt/sdcard2/libflashplayer-patched.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so
Use your favorite method to put the patched so file on /mnt/sdcard2 (or where ever you want to put it). If the boot thing gets fixed you should not need this anymore.
The other thing I use ScriptManager for is to bind mount sdcard2 in the /mnt/sdcard/sdcard2 directory so programs that only look in /sdcard can find things in my sdcard2 folders.

Fantastic ...thanks wd!
I'll give it a try...thanks for figuring out a work around so quickly ...

QUESTION .....so I create a the new script with Script Manager and place it where? Sorry ...have done the rooting, ROMs, kernels, etc. but scripts are new territory for me...thnx.
UPDATE.....Okay....created script to match your example...placed libflashplayer-patched.so on sdcard2...not sure where created script should be placed....checked "run at boot"...placed new script file on sdcard2, but Hulu did not work after rebooting so I'm guessing script needs to be in another location to run.....

script manager puts them in its folder. what happens if you run it from script manager? I am sure it needs root checked.

first time using Script Manager so I selected "New Script" and then gave it a file name "Hulu"...then copied the script language into that file and then Run...
came back with errors:
cp: can't stat '/data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so/mnt':not a directory
cp: can't stat '/data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so/libflashplayer-patched.so': Not a directory

Those paths are not right. Missing space I think.
Here is what I have:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
cp /mnt/sdcard2/libflashplayer-patched.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so

yep...too many spaces..fixed that..
now when I do a quick run in Script Manager I get the following error:
cp: can't create 'data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so': File exists

do you have run as root checked?

Bingo....I had Run on Boot, but not Run as Root....
Unfortunately after running and going to Hulu...on the main page I am getting a messages saying: "Hulu requires Flash Player 10.0.32 or higher. Please download and install the latest version of Flash Player before continuing."
I have the latest Flash 10.2 available for Android....user agent is set to desktop on browser....strange...

10.2.59.1 is what I get at www.playerversion.com. Is it possible you have the wrong one in the data directory?

is that the libflashplayer-patched.so file? I'm using the one from the download link in your original post..
if that's not it let me know....thanks for your help..sorry you're having to walk me through this....
WHEN I GO TO PLAYERVERSION.COM ON MY TABLET IT SAYS I DON'T HAVE FLASH PLAYER INSTALLED. Could the replacement libflashplayer.so file be incorrect?

Its working for me. You do have Flash 10.2 installed from market first right? I'm sure you do or it wouldn't be getting overwritten.
Here's what I'd suggest.
Remove and reinstall 10.2 plain. Turn off the boot script. Reboot.
Open some flash site like the player test site with your browser of choice (I use Opera Mobile). Observe that it tells you that you are on 10.2. something.
Now turn the boot script back on. If you force close the browser, just run the script. If you prefer, just reboot. Now go back to the same site and observe that you have Flash running and it is now the patched version #. If not, Hulu isn't going to work.
Once that's working, try Hulu again.
No worries. Would be good to know that it works somewhere else ;-)

Works great!
Thanks. Works great on the stock browser. Still get the "your operating system not supported usung Opera Mobile" tho. Just downloaded latest version of opera and it no longer let's you choose type of system, so I imagine that is the problem.

Is that Opera Mobile or Opera Mini?

Okay...Hulu now up and running...
When I looked at the script and realized what it was actually doing I realized that I shouldn't have been actually naming the patched file as "-patched" as that was why after the script ran Flash no longer showed up...
I renamed to match the libflashplayer.so file it was replacing...also moved file and script reference to "sdcard" rather than "sdcard2" to see if that made a difference...now working fine on Hulu....
Thanks for the fix and walking a noob thru using scripts!

I think it's Opera Mini that only gives you the option of turning on or off "mobile" version of browser...tried it out earlier....
