So I did the OTA lastnight and rushed to try out Hulu just to get a message that my platform is not supported.
Anyone else have any better luck? This was one of the things I was looking forward to.
Hulu blocks Android.

Please, for the love of God, search.
Hulu blocks Android, iPhone, and anything that is NOT a full computer. Or rather, anything that identifies itself as not a computer. So what do you do? Go get a version of Flash that's hacked to trick Hulu into thinking you are a desktop computer, and change your UAString to Desktop.
Search the Nexus One forums. You'll find it.
Was posted in the Apps & Themes subforum for the Evo as well, just have to look around. I have it installed and its working. Hulu is generally pretty fast about fixing it though. Good luck.

I have checked and havent found something like this yet so if it is out there I'm sorry.
My question is what are some of the apps you have found since rooting your evo that are "Must Have" apps.
Like I know about wireless tether but what else.
I know I could just go to market place and look for apps but that really doenst tell me if they are any good, And I'm sure people here have found apps that they just can live without.
So what have you found that is Must haves? Utilities, social, media, games. anything you consider must have?
Thanx
P.S. I think this is an approriate place to post this but if not could one of the ops move it to the appropriate place, thanx
Nothing? Really?
Check out the link in my sig. The OP has a decent list of apps that I use regularly and other people have posted their lists too.
I forget the name of the app since I have flashed many ROM's since I last used it, but the one "must have" app is the one that pulls in over-the-air local hd tv. It put Sprint TV to shame. Anyone remember what it is called?
Would love to know.

mikfroyo evo!
Once you're rooted, do the following mod @ forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879996 and then you can stream XViD/DiVX movies over the network... that's my favorite.
Dropbox can be run without root, but that is my other must have app...
Search.
This has been asked and answered many times. There area few good threads listing must have apps. I'm on my phone so can't link

Here's a thread that I started with links as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715767
Hey recently ive decided that I want to replace my stereo in my car with a mac mini and an external tough screen. I first thought I would try to use the HDMI feature of the Evo to view my phone on the screen, but I would want it to be interactive on the screen. So then I decided I should find a program that will allow me to use my Evo through a usb cord so the Evo displays on in a window on my mac or windows pc and i can interact with it from there. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this work? Or does anyone wanna take on this project?
There is a thread on this topic in Q&A. I saw it maybe 2 days ago. Has a few suggested apps to control your evo via pc or vice versa.

hahaha i know. but those run through the web and i cant share the same connection if im creating the wifi form my phone.
and the ones that i found that go through usb, which is 1, refreshes and 4 frames a second =/
you could wire up a wifi router..

Anyway...
I used this: Droid VNC Server (FREE, requires root)
And this: VNC® Viewer Free Edition 4.1 for Windows (also free)
It's pretty choppy, but it works.
If you don't have Windows, pretty much any VNC viewer will work, there's lots of them out there (Google it).
Appreciate it. And yea. The last two days I've been doing research and trying out different ones, and everything had been laggy or choppy. I made this hoping to find a hidden gem that worked perfectly or someone that knew how to get it working flawlessly

isn't this a Flash problem rather than an Auntie Beeb one?
There are quite a few apps which are waiting on adobe to pull their finger out.
I'll have a moan at the bbc anyway see if it helps grease the wheels a bit.

That's exactly what I was thinking, I'm sure it needs flash to run
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
D'oh. You're both right! I was thinking the app didn't need it but the mobile version of the iPlayer did. The app does indeed need flash.
Ok, on to Adobe to hurry up!
EDIT: Though thinking about it some more, they will need to do a Flash-free version anyway. iOS has an iPlayer. So we still need to give them a friendly nudge not to wait on the final big Flash release.
Had a reply back from Auntie Beeb, she says that Adobe need to authorise the device for Flash then the app will work. So as we thought, flash problem.
Getting flash will release a lot of apps, I am guessing.

BTW... this is exactly what they said....
Hello,
Thanks for your feedback.
Until Adobe support Flash on ICS, we can't update the apps to work on
these device as our playback relies on Flash. Even if we enabled the
apps for ICS, a user would need Flash to make them work and Adobe blocks
Flash on the market for these devices.
Regards,
BBC Mobile
Just check my mail. I got exactly the same response. Word for word. I think the Flash is used for DRM stuff which may, may, be why Android gets live streaming content and iOS doesn't.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Since flash is being abandon (Apple, and now android), BBC must have got something else in the pipe line - perhaps html5?
Does anyone have an iplayer apk that we can try, now that Flash is running on ICS?
As you can now get iplayer for the iphone as well which of course does not use flash then hopefully we will get a version which will use other codecs so that flash is no longer needed to use the app.

APK
I've tried the apk with Flash installed and it still doesn't work. I can view iPlayer through the browser as long as I request the desktop site.
i have just emailed Auntie Beeb and asked them for an update

Nevermind.... found the browser optioin for it
I got this from BBC
Thanks for contacting the BBC iPlayer Support Team.
I understand you're enquiring about when the BBC iPlayer App will be available for Android Galaxy Nexus mobile phone device.
The BBC want to bring BBC iPlayer to as many audiences as possible, across a range of devices.
However, we don't have any information about this at this time, I would advise you to get in contact with the manufacturers directly.
I hope this helps and thanks again for taking the time to contact us.

So I've been waiting for this game to come out on android since December and I just found out yesterday that it finally did. Although I've been trying to download it and had no such luck. It wouldn't come up anywhere in my play store results, so I went to play.Google.com to check it out. When the Web page loaded and loaded the compatability list, it said "this app is Incompatible with all of your devices". I decided to add it to my wishlist so that I could view it on Google play, and when I went to it, it said "this app isn't available in your country".
Since it is a free app, I've tried downloading it from apkmania and putting the data where it needed to go, but when I open the app, it loads the digital entertainment splash screen, then crashes. I've tried the powervr, armv7, and mali-400 apk's and data, but no such luck.
If anyone can figure out why the hell this isn't working and report back to me, that would be awesome, since I've been extremely impatient since it was released and it's driving me nuts trying to figure what's wrong.
I have a t-mobile samsung galaxy s III t999 and I'm in the us. I've even tried market helper to spoof my device but again, no luck.
Thanks again. I've included the link below to see if anyone can get it working on their phone. Again, since it's a free game, if anyone needs the apkmania link, I have that as well.

I saw the other day that the Kindle Fire has a Watch Disney Jr app. I thought it was only available on iOS devices, but apparently not. Would love to have this for my son. Anyone know if the apk can be pulled and installed on any Android device? Did a quick Google search, and didn't come up with anything useful.
Found the app easily enough, though it doesn't seem to wanna load anything useful...meaning I don't think it's just gonna work on any phone.
As far as I know it's a Kindle and Sprint device exclusive.
I will attach the apk anyways, in case anyone else should find it useful for any reason.

Thanks for searching. Apparently I need to brush up on my google search skills!!
Wish the app would just come to android
Thanks for posting an apk, but that isn't the 'official' disney app (I installed and tested).. looks like some 3rd party app which isn't functioning properly. The "Watch Disney Junior" app seems to only be available on kindle fire devices. Here's the link from the amazon app store: http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Junior-Kindle-Tablet-Edition/dp/B00BFX2DI8
If anyone has a rooted kindle and can post the apk, that would be appreciated. Amazon won't let me install it to my nexus 10 from their app store.
Glad there are others interested in getting this app to all Android devices. Would be much appreciated from my son, lol!
watch disney jr kindle edition
People don't realize there is a difference between the Kindle edition apps and other android apps with the same name. The Kindle app let's you stream Disney Channel live and watch individual shows.
google "kindle fire system dump"
download
extract using 7zip
go to /system/app
copy the "kindlewatchdc.apk, kindlewatchxd.apk, kindlewatchjr.apk" to your htc one
move them to /system/app on your htc one (must be rooted)
set permissions
reboot
*note that i have not tried this, just a suggestion
**also, the apks may be named different
Some please post the 3 disney Apk's Watch Disney, Watch Disney XD, Watch Disney Jr. PLEASE!!!

I backed up the Disney channel, Disney XD, and Nickelodeon apps from my daughter's Kindle Fire HD. I tried loading them on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" but they would not run properly. You could give it a try anyway. PM me and I can send you the links.
