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.

Has anyone tried this with CM7?
EDIT: DOES NOT WORK!!!!

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..

Hi. Can anyone confirm for me whether UK banking apps Barclays App/PingIT, LloydsTSB app will continue to work on a rooted HTC One?
I believe they will fail to work as they will detect the rooted status and call this a security issue, am I correct?
Thanks
yes, you are correct, they will not work with root.
Some have had success in hiding root to run the app, then unhiding afterwards, but for me that's a lot of hassle just to use the bank app when I can use the mobile web page, you may feel otherwise.
I do.. Barclays web takes about 4 codes to log in including one from either the card code unit or from the phone app.
The phone app needs just one 5 digit code and you are in and of course PingIT is a phone only tool and very useful.
then have a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360142 and give it a go
i think superSU has a hide option? unlike superuser. so you could try that. i was using that to hid root from some games that disabled themselves when they detected root.
barclays app was working on my rooted 4.1.2. it stopped working when i upgraded to 4.2.2.
Yep, same thing happened to me, i managed to get an old apk of the app, so it's working again. Thought i could do the same with pingit, but didnt complete, Message appeared saying update to the latest version. Only a matter of time before the online banking app does the same.
Uninstal the barclays app first then download temp root remover from the playstore. Temporary remove root instal the app and you are good to go then..
I did the like that but you might be comprising your bank account details if using on root. Thats what rumours are all about..

Hello!
I just got my new Teclast x98 air ii. Out of the box, Gapps suite is very instable and Google Play doesn't work at all. After reading several forums and tried basic tricks like clearing cache, uninstalling updates, etc... It is still not working. The last thing to try is to install Play store and Play Services in the system/apps space, but obviously I need the tablet to be rooted. Again, after reading a lot on rooting Android devices, I no longer sure if the rooting process is CPU, hardware or OS dependent.
So, is that possible to root this Chinese tablet and if yes, using what tool?
Hi mate ive just received mine . also having the same problems as you. Tried resetting to factory defaults , changed the language from chinese to english . It looked like the play store was going to work . Then it just forced closed . Now wont work at all . Tried doint the ota updtae , but doesnt work . cant find anything on the internet as the tablet is pretty new. If only i could get play store working . hmmm . Its seems a great tablet .Screens spot on and it seems pretty fast .
I signed up to say that other people are also having the Google Play problem, and though I haven't received mine I'm probably going to have that problem, too.
What a bummer. ):
Subscribed. I have one of these on order and found out about the Play Store issue. I am wanting to run Android and not Windows 8.1. Hopefully there is an update soon.
Edit: Just saw this. Anyone with an Air II care to try?
https://twitter.com/srsroot/status/527864446400856066
Yeah I've seen that on twitter . however CPUz claims the tablet is already rooted . I used amazon app store for that . hope we get this sorted soon .
Yes I thought it was already rooted too but I tried running apps that need root and it is not rooted. I verified with Rootchecker and it confirmed...
Now I removed updates on Play Store and Play Services but some apps does not work anymore... like Hangout...
same issue here
Hey guys,
Just gotbmine this morning and have the same issue,
play store browse well but crashes when trying to download
YouTube won't even launch
ota update not working
Plus have regular freezes with the internet browser. Hope we can find a fix soon cause otherwise the tablet is pretty good !
I don't see the point of having an ota app as no one can get it working. Also when my tablet arrived the playstore wasnt fully installed . when I done a factory reset everything installed and had the play store icon on the screen. . still didn't work tho . .. The manufacturer must know the play store has problems , that's why its disabled . its a good tablet ,just wish everything worked as it should .
Ota is working. Downloading now . will let you all know how it goes ..
Still not downloaded . 6 hours later , keeps restarting . grrrr . there's a new guide on a French forum to update the firmware . looks pretty complicated . can't post links yet .

Same here

Same here. Downloaded and installed the OTA update to 4.4.4 after two attempts.
Downloaded gapps 4.4.4 tried to install it via the teclast update app that is on the tablet. No luck, message said could not verify update.
So I renamed it to update.zip and tried to install via restart and bootloader but no luck.
I suppose I could manually move the files but even then it may not work and that would be tedious.
Oh well, still a good tablet and amazon apps work just fine.
Also 64 GB microSD card won't work but my 16 GB microSD card works just fine.
Tried any other ROMS yet?
Hi All,
I've had the tablet a week now and just updated to 4.4.4 using the Teclast App that was pre-installed. Since the update I've had a few issues with video stuttering and play store and youtube still don't work. So far though I am pretty impressed with the tablet. Still wondering though has anyone tried a different rom on this yet?
-P
Same -- need to know how to root
Having the same problem with the Google play store crashing. It only seems to crash when it attempts to download apps/updates, and the crash logs point to the download manager (i.e., the eng.yankendi.20140922.165954 version of DownloadProvider.apk).
Need root to replace it with some other version -- would that even work or is the download manager a device-specific app?
Beware malware sites
Norton says site is a known malicious site, so not going to bother downloading from there. I have the Air II and been researching the Play Store issue for about a week - no answers yet. None of the simple fixes work, looking at moving the Gapps to a different folder as suggested at one forum - problem is I need root for that, and rooting this thing is just as big of a challenge. There's other sites that claim to have root .bat files but they too install malware on your computer - had it happen to me just today. That's the problem with this sorta thing, the a-holes out there know how desperate people can get to find anything that'll give them root so they plant malware in their "solutions". Anyway I'm gonna keep trying, first have to get root figured out.
*EDIT* Sorry was replying to post #4 and the srsroot link posted there
Play Store fix??
Found this in another thread here at XDA. Anyone brave enough to try it??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56779242&postcount=423
Here's the post:
Google Play Store Fix
Anyone having issues with Google Play Store - this applies to both Air 3G with the latest 2.0.1 update (will post more information later) and Air II - please apply this fix.
Your OS should be rooted in order for this to work.
- Download the files from here.
- Copy the .apk files to a folder on your microSD card.
- Go to Settings > Apps and uninstall Google Play Store.
- Install using the supplied .apk's the following (in this order): Google Play Services, Google Play Store and Link2SD.
- Go to Link2SD, find Google Play Store > Actions > Convert into system app.
- When the conversion is complete, reboot the tablet.
You should find that Google Play store works now, if you still have issues clear ALL it's data and re-enter your account information.
Will post later when the v2.0 (Android 4.4.4) ROM upload is complete with instructions on how to flash it.
I am using it right now and after it was installed it performed an OTA and now I am at v2.0.1_20141105.
I would but... Howto root it?
I haven't found the root procedure the Air ii yet...
How this guy rooted it?

I have this same question. This post has a link to a toolbox for rooting, but I can't get it to work on the Air II. Anyone have any success?
Edit: This one works for rooting. I followed the procedure and Google Play store and apps are now working.

I rooted with the Chinese version of VRoot (your link) and it seemed to work. I installed a root checking app and it says I have root access. However when I try to convert the PlayStore into system app I got an error from Link2SD telling it doesn't have root access.
Any clue?
thanks
edit: actually it seems vRoot only supports 4.4.2 for now, I made the update to 4.4.4 so it is probably the reason root doesn't work

*My tablet: Teclast X98 Air II WiFi*
I wouldn't try using the download provided, only because the download and the instructions given for it don't quite match up. The post says "copy the .apk files" however the download is an *.exe - why would you need to execute a downloaded file to get *.apks? The guy makes it look like it's a zip file - note the .7z in the file name - but that's not its real extension, it's an executable. It's like someone is trying to fool you by making you think the files are zipped up so you'll start the *.exe. I may be wrong but I prefer being too careful rather than sorry later on. Plus the *.apks are easy enough to find - they're all over the Internet.
Having said all that, I still tried the guy's idea but with my own files and I think it works. Well I say "I think" because a) I finally have Play Store working, after days of trying every idea in this thread and what I found Googling, and b) I'm not quite 100% sure of the /exact/ steps I took to finally get Play to work because I was doing so many things at once.
But from memory here are the last few steps I tried before Play miraculously started working (I already had Link2SD installed):
1) Installed latest Play Services *.apk
2) Installed latest Play Store *.apk
3) Opened Link2SD and converted BOTH Play Store & Play Services to system apps (when I was just converting Play Store it never worked)
4) Reboot
The only way I'll ever be sure of exactly what's needed is to wipe my tablet and start over using just these steps, which I just might do since the tablet is so new. However someone else out there may want to give this a try just to see if I'm right about the steps needed. And by the way VRoot worked perfectly for rooting, I used the version for PCs (rooting your tablet from your PC). The supplied SU app for VRoot works fine, I don't read Chinese but all you need to do is check a box and tap a button for every SU request.
Hope this helps, I'll report back with more info as I get the chance.
I can't install the netflix app from the google play store any more. I'm sure this worked before but after I rooted my phone the device is marked as incompatible. I unrooted it and flashed the stock rom (did not look the boot loader), but still can't install the netflix app. I can’t tell if this was really caused by rooting the phone or something else because I did not checked immediately after rooting my phone.
Is this normal? Was this even caused by rooting the phone? Can I fix the isseue with or without root?
Not sure if this is relevant but I also have issues with the google pay app since I rooted the phone. I Found some instruction to fix that but was not able to test it.

You can download the latest Netflix APK from the apkmirror website. Apparently you need to have a locked bootloader to get it listed back on playstore
I already assumed this but did not try, because this was not a issue on my old phone.
Loading it from apk mirror is fine for me. So I belive I will not check if locking the bootloder will actually fix the issue.
