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.

nope did not work on either Xoom or CM7 Vibrant

Thank you!! Thank you for this file. It works on my Incredible

What was your problem, did anything error out? I'm the one who wrote the article.
I used sed to make it easier (cut and paste) I could tell you a more manual way of doing it.

I got a device not supported error on the Xoom after applying the build.prop edits. I think there may be more we should be editing for this device.

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.

Thanks for this. Will have to give it a try.

This worked out for me.

Didn't get the sh script to work, so I just read it and did what it said in terminal emulator.

Worked for me too. Too bad we can't force the app to landscape.

I have no idea on how to use that script.
Could you guys back up the app with TB and re upload here?

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.

Bruh, that worked perfectly. Thanks
Can we get hbogo the same way?

I just tried this and still got the "Device is not supported..." message. I'm running rooted stock 3.2. Did I do something wrong?

Did you make sure you removed all instances of previous hulu plus installs? I am running Tiamat 2.1 and it is working for me but I used Root Explorer to delete all hulu plus data before attempting the steps.

[Q] App not installed

Some apps just won't install. Tried multiple sources, releases etc. Rooted, not rooted. Always the same message: "application not installed"
My only guess is permission conflicts may be blocking complete installation?
Anyone found a work around for this?

What apps are you trying to install?
I've found a few that wouldn't install & it was because of missing .jar files & libs that the Kindle doesn't ship with, after finding out what an app needed I added them required files & it installed OK but many still have compatibility issues & just stop working, mainly those that rely on Google Maps & location services, not much can be done I don't think.

I would like to install voxer on here but it doesn't let me. Would you know how to?

Have you tried manually placing the .apk in the /system/app/ folder and changing the permissions?

[Q] App crashing with CM10.2

Hi, guys.
Sorry about the topic, I'm not allowed to post this bug at the right section....
Anyway. Since I've upgraded to CM10.2, Aldiko Premium has stop working. The free version seens to bo Ok.
Is there a way to completely uninstall an App and all of it's references?
Thanks in advance.

This is the correct section. To uninstall an app, open settings, go to apps, click the one you want then you can uninstall from there.

Well, I've already did that.
I guess I'll just have to 'wait'.
Thanks, man.:good:

Not sure if this is a real solution or I just got lucky, but I used Titanium Backup to convert the app to a system app (select the app from the list, special features, convert to system app) then converted it back to a user app (same process). SwiftKey kept crashing on me after the update and this fixed it for me. My guess is it forces the app to be reloaded, but like I said, it may have just been lucky button pushing.

[Q] Kindle fire 2014 launcher??

Hello guys,
I'm looking for the new kindle fire 2014 launcher apk.
I searched everywhere but i can't find it...can you help me?
I'm running the latest kinology Rom so i'm rooted and i have the latest TWRP.

Do you mean the 2013? If so, I can almost assure you that just downloading the launcher and installing it will not work. You will need to find any other libraries needed and install those as well.

Yes,i meant 2013, maybe editing some permission could do the job..i'd like to try but i need that apk

No, just editing permissions won't work. You could start a new thread entitled "[REQUEST] 2013 KFHD7 Launcher APK". You'd probably get more attention and someone to upload the file that way.
EDIT: Or just download the update directly from Amazon's servers, extract it, and get the apk from /system/app

[Q] Anyone know a way to bypass the Amazon Appstore External Market Link popup?

NO Amazon, I do not want to open the link/app with your App Store!
So, does anyone know a way to bypass that popup? It's not a big deal, just annoying that I have to back out of what I'm doing, open Google Play, search for the app, find the right one, then finally download it. Thanks to anyone who can help me be even lazier than I am
In case it matters: I'm on a -rooted- Kindle Fire HD 7", running Amazon Firmware version 7.4.8, Root Android 4.0.3, with ADW Launcher EX version 1.3.3.9,

Hmm, it's been a while but I think as long as you're running Amazon OS this will happen.

Nope there's a trick, rename a system app called something like marketintentproxy.apk, it will stop the redirects. Not positive on the filename but it is something like that, I had it disabled myself back before i stopped using amazon os.

So what should I rename the system app? Is there a specific name, or can I just enter whatever and it will stop the redirect?
Thanks, by the way. I had seen that apk name before, but didn't know it was used for this.

Change ".apk" to ".bak" so its not recognized as an app.

How did you get to the .apk file to change it to .bak? Did you use something like ES Explorer? If so, where do I look?

Yes you can use es file explorer, look in /system/app
You have to enable root mode and mount system as read-write, though for some reason on the latest Google play store released version of es file explorer i cant find a option to remount system as RW, only root access. Have to remount it from a terminal on the newer version. Don't let what I said confuse you, I am just rambling.

Already had root access. Somehow when I did so it didn't redirect links leading elsewhere. Thanks a bunch!

That's awesome that it somehow fixed that file for you! It's quite annoying when it gives you no choice but to download from the Amazon App Store.
