Issues with streaming Netflix / Hulu - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Lately I'm having issues streaming Hulu or Netflix videos. I can browse the catalog just fine in the respective apps, but when playing a movie it just gets stuck on the loading/buffering screen. Hulu and Netflix work fine on my Android phone, and my wifi connection speed is 100mbps+, so that's fine too.
I do have my device rooted, but in the past I've never had issues with that. Also have xposed installed. Tried disabling adblock, and enabling it again, but no success there. Don't know what's going on here.
Any ideas?

You need to go into /system/lib and rename the file liboemcrypto.so. Put a .old on the end of the file. I was able to get there with ES File Explorer.

File name is liboemcrypto.so.
Rename that file. Put a .old or something on the end, and reboot. Should be good to go.

Dude! You're awesome. That works, now both Netflix and Hulu can stream again.
Do you know why this file would block streaming on Hulu/Netflix?

For me turning off power saving fixed it

I do not know what the file does unfortunately, just stumbled across the fix when I was having the probem myself.

I found the file you were talking about using ES File Explorer (thanks for the recommendation), but I get a 'task failed' message when I try to rename it. Any idea why that would be?

I am having the same problem. Did you figure out a solution?

anyone get polaris office working on xoom?

Hey,
Has anyone been able to get polaris office to work on their xoom? I installed it and was able to view one document before the force closes started raining down. Now everytime I try to open it I receive a forceclose.
Just wonderin if anyone else had any better luck?
I have it working
I downloaded the .apk quoted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17935619

Also, one important thing is that it worked on my rooted Xoom, but also on my non one
That means u fon't need to put anything in the lib folder

You need to copy over the app it self to /system/app and copy over the lib files to /system/lib then you have to change their permissions then reboot in order to get them to work. I mean change both the app permissions and the lib files permissions.

That's a negative
As I said, I tried it on my rooted Xoom, but also on my non rooted... no need to copy over the lib files.... thus, there's no lib files in the link I quoted, just the *.apk, and it's enough
Worked like a charm like any other apk...
I think there must be different apk floating around then because without a doubt as I have done this on my rooted Xoom and helped a number of others they ALL forced closed when you tried to open any doc new or old. Then you install the two *.so lib files into system/lib. After that everything work perfectly. I and others I helped were all rooted and were using root explorer to move files etc.
Tochiro is the only person I have seen that only had to install just the apk. without getting fc. I can only think there must be dif apk or some how ended up with those files in the system/lib folder other than manually moving them there.
As I said, I used this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17935619
At first I tried with the apk from my Galaxy S2 on my rooted Xoom using the lib files tip, but it wasn't working
With the link up here, I installed Polaris on a Xoom with Tiamat rom, and on another one (non rooted) with Android 3.2 (firm GAS_EMEA_USAHUBLWFRTFR_P014)
From now, I just tried quickly with some pdf files and xlsx xls files, but everything was fine

[XT860] Resolv.conf

I did a google DNS change on my phone before I realized that I didn't make a backup of this file and was hoping someone could send me the original contents of this file to make sure I have a backup in case I ever need it. Thanks in advance!
I'd like to help, but I don't seem to have a /system/etc/resolve.conf file. (Unless thats the wrong path)...
Also, I'm on an XT860 but am running the ME863 Chinese ROM. Let me know if there's a way I can help.
give me a few and i'll have a link for you

When I opened the file it looked like a binary file. Shouldn't it just be a regular txt file that you can paste onto here?
I haven't a clue man. When I tried opening it all it had was a bunch of weird characters.

Just checked the system backup I made a couple of months ago and it didn't have a resolv.conf file.
Thanks everyone!

How to install game data?

Can someone tell me how to install game data in the phone memory. I am facing a problem. In tutorials of installing games hitman go and Leo' fortune, it is said that to copy the data to obb folder. But there's no obb folder and when I make it gives me an error: "change the folder name" or something.... And when I put the data in the "data" folder, the games say "you have not purchased the game"... Please help!
Sent from my XT1092 using XDA Free mobile app
You have to connect your phone to a computer and then you will be able to see the obb folder through the computer. For some reason, it can't be seen through the phone. Not sure if this is due to a lack of root or not. I've had some problems with games still not working, but that could be for an unrelated reason.
Well, in my case i was not able to see the obb folder or create one on my mac. What u can do is:-
1) Install ES File Explorer.
2)copy your obb file into the internal storage.
3)There is an option of "windows" in the file explorer.
4)Then click new on the bottom left.
5)select type file(local).
6)enter path"/sdcard"
7)then use search and type "obb" and enter the folder. now you should be able to see the "obb" folder.
8)now switch "windows".
9)now you can select the obb file and use "cut" option and then switch "windows" by swiping in from right and selecting the obb folder.
10)now just paste your file there and then install apk and run your game.
Thnx !
Thnx to both of U!!! I found it now!!! Thnx again!

How to change boot animation?

I can't find a bootanimation.zip file. I tried to rename it as AIO_bootup.zip but that doesn't work either. I only get the word android as a boot animation now. How can I fix this?

More recently devices have been using mp4
If you have another android:
Pull /system/bin/bootanimation and put it into our /system/bin/ folder
Then you can use zips as normal
Sent from my 0PCV1 using XDA Free mobile app
The bootanimations on the stock rom are in /system/customize/resourse
Download the bootanimation.zip you want to use, then put it in the resource folder, and rename it to the name of the bootanimatiin for your carrier. For example, mine on Boost Mobile is BM_startupanimation.zip (or something really close to that, I didn't look, I just remember from when I changed my bootanimation)
If you want to keep your old bootanimation as a backup, just change its file extention to .bak instead of .zip, but it's also okay to just delete it.

/system/customize/CID/default.xml in Non Sense Rom 1.03 says that the boot animation is in /system/customize/resource/AIO_bootup.zip. All you have to do is either delete that and replace it or change the extension so it is unusable, then replace it, and it should work perfect.

If you're using 1.03 that is the correct place and name. As Burtrum57 said did you check the permissions? Mount /system, make sure the boot animation is rw-r-r or 644. After that reboot and it should work perfect.

4 is read
5 is read/execute (execute is always needed for directories)
6 is read/write
7 is read, write, and execute
The first number is Owner, the second is Group, and the third is Other. Thus 644 is
Read Read Read
Write

Our if you use ES File manager, locate the file and touch and hold then go to more and properties you can easily check the permissions and if necessary change them

And if Virgin Mobile: VM_startup_animation.zip
Sprint: spcs_startup_animation.zip
---------- Post added at 04:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 AM ----------
Problem I'm having is I replace my VM_startup_animation.zip and I refresh my file which is in /system/customize/resources/ and view it, and I see the new boot animation just fine. I reboot and it's the default VM one. I go back to the directory and open the zip file and it's all e original VM startup again. So it's over writing the changed file with the factory one. Thoughts?

help with root explorer??

I'm rooted with tmobile unlocked usa phone, I was trying to edit things in build prop with root explorer and it doesn't let me do any thing, I even tried to use SQLite editor and it returns with database is currently used
- Open Root Explorer
- Root/system/build.prop
- Press 'Mount r/w' on top
- r/w should now be displayed on left, where r/o was previously displayed.
- Long press build.prop
- Press 'Open in Text Editor'
- Press the text line you want to change*
* Proceed with caution
- Take a look here in post #1 under 'Root Explorer Method' for more info.
(Step #4 will not apply regarding your inquiry.)

Update/Edit:
See posts below.
I've included a screenshot.
The problem is Root Explorer does not allow you to edit text file more than 10kB.
If you have this problem, use ES File Explorer.
