I'm sure you guys have noticed that Hulu claims our platform isn't supported. I was wondering if anyone has tried this technique yet to get Hulu to believe the flash player is installed on a windows box? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794512
I haven't tried it yet, but I know by default I cannot uninstall the Flash 10.1 build that was included on the phone in order to install the fixed apk...
I pretty much decided that since HSPA+ doesn't cover the WHOLE of my city yet then I won't bother with data heavy sites like Hulu on my phone for now.

this phone only pulls up mobile sites by default? theres no way of changing that like on the n1?

would there be any drawbacks from doing this ?
Because of no root you have to do it quiet often

hence the need for a flash build that reports itself as a desktop. The browser will report as a desktop if you do the debug trick, but flash itself is still reporting itself as an android phone.
The link I posted at the top had an apk with a custom build of flash that reports as a desktop, but I can't get it to install on my phone.

what i tried. used temp root, then got root in adb shell. rm system flash player, then cp new flash to system/app. installed hulu.apk, still same not supported error. also did the about:debug, same prob
whats wierd is after i rm flash, it still shows under manage apps. can it be installed somewhere else as well?
also how could i rm the cache of the stock player?

instead of removing flash using adb, maybe try using Titanium? Sounded like some people on other phones had success that way. I haven't messed around with temp root yet so I can't try it myself.

sure. its a little tricky, lol. read entire first post here, temp root, its been updated: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797042
as you read you only do stage 1 once (not needed if you have done temp root already)
then before you do stage 2, open titanium, it will say it doesnt have root, thats ok, exit out of it.
complete stage 2, do NOT exit term (sometimes it works if you do, most time not)
long press home to bring up recent apps. click on titanum. most likely will say no root, thats ok.
hit menu and reload titanum, boom superuser request. grant it and your in there for this session!
good luck, have fun, hope this helps...
Thanks man I'll try when I get home.

The only thing I wanted it for right now was to use Titanium Backup to restore my apps w/data from my G1.
Oh so if I made a backup from my nexus one its saved on my sd card and I can just restore from there?!

Yeah, all of the apps and the relevant settings. TB is great that way. I often used to restore between rom flashes on my G1.
I know people have been having issues getting this to work on cm6, I found a method that ALMOST works if someone can help me expand on this.
I thought maybe it had something to do with the phone being s-on, so it couldn't upgrade properly, so I force removed the existing market app via titanium with the recovery exploit that it uses with s-on phones, and then installed it through the app manager like I would any other app. It took a long time but it eventually installed, but the glitches were so extensive it was unusable. It opens the app, and displays the UI elements fine, but if you do anything aside from navigate and search, it force closes. If you try to open an app's link up, it force closes. Attempting to go to "my apps" force closes it.
I was thinking maybe it either had something to do with the fact that it needs the old market to update to the new one, like it's an update patch, not a full app. The other thing I was thinking was that it wasn't working because it installed to /data/app, like a user app, not to /system/app like the normal market.
Would it work to adb install or adb push the apk to /system/app rather than install it as a user app do you think? I would really love to get the new market working on cm6.
SOLUTION:
All thanks to KCRic; he has posted the flashable zips for the new market, which I re-attached in the OP.

There you go, just flash them through clockwork recovery, they should work just fine.

You don't even need the recovery zip. It works perfectly fine just installing manually.
While in recovery just plug your phone in, go into adb shell and install it from there.
"cp (Location of app) /system/app/"
IE for me I put "cp /sdcard/download/android_market.apk /system/app/" and it worked.
I didn't do anything to the original market.
All I did was apply any zip from sdcard in clockwork..no adb needed

If you renamed the apk to a zip, you're doing it wrong.
If you downloaded the update zip containing the apk, it's wherever you downloaded it.
Its in the them and app section under new market app..

Yeah I never found a flashable zip, I just found an apk in the apps section. Which doesn't work. If someone could post a link to the flashable zip that'd be cool. I don't have access to a USB cable right now so adb isn't a very good option haha.
Edit: nevermind, found it on the second page of the thread, here's the direct link to the zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?w7hcd0uadlndnwd, it works great, no more force closes everywhere like I was getting before
I found a flashable zip from a diff source so problem solved. But how do you change a .apk to a .zip if not simply renaming?

You have to create an update package with the apk inside zip_file.zip/system/app/apk.apk and you have to put an update script into meta-inf/android/blah blah blah, google it, I've forgotten, only had to do it once, I'm sure there's a tutorial out there if someone here can't directly answer you

I'm going to remove all the hdpi files from the apk (since we don't need them, it will save space) and poat that version up in a bit. I'll test it first to make sure it will still work.
Added 'tiny' market install zip
For those that don't know, you go into clockwork recovery - select 'install zip from sdcard' - find the zip and install it. Reboot and enjoy.

Ok, sounds good. I'm testing the 'tiny' version now and I'll update that post with the file if it works. Removing the files didn't drop the size much (~0.3MB) but smaller is still always better.

Edited the OP, included info, should all be good to go
Also, would this market work on eclair? The version is 2.2.6 so I'm thinking not, since it has froyo elements like auto app update, etc.
Edit: shortly after I installed cr_mod the market auto updated, but it did so to version 2.2.7, not 2.2.6. So yes, the new market does work on eclair, with auto updating. Kickass. If you'd all like I can pull the apk from my phone and post it if no one has it? Although aside from cm users everyone should be getting updated, I think.

I have no idea, but honestly I'm thrilled to have the new market AND auto update functionality on eclair. It was also nice that I didn't even have to flash anything, it updated itself. I had heard that the auto update worked fine with sense ROMs, only people running CM were having issues. You're probably right, it's probably an edited version for eclair. But cr_mod still has gmail v1, I really wish I could get version 2.3 :/ old gmail sucks. I'm going to try and just pull the apk and upgrade it with an app manager from one of the gapps packages, but I'm not sure, since google apps on sense roms is different.
Well stock android will generally always work on sense roms, just not the other way around. The issue you may run into are differences in os versions (2.1 vs 2.2.1). But with gapps it's usually not an issue, at least not yet since the versions aren't too far apart.

I actually googled around a bit, the gmail that's in the market, which is 2.3 at the moment, and before that 2.2.1, only shows up on froyo, since that's all it works on. Eclair and below are all stuck with version 1 :/
I'm pretty sure HTC loads gapps in a different way because there is actually a googleapps.apk or gapps.apk in /system/app, the flashable package just has all of the apks. I tried to open the flashable zip with astro and browse to gmail.apk and see if it would upgrade but it wouldn't parse the package. I could TRY flashing the eclair gapps and see if that works, but I'll definitely do a nandroid first. I guess I'll try that and post back.
I love how my threads always end up venturing off topic. I kind of "hijack" my own threads in a sense
Not sure if this info has been posted anywhere. So, I would like to know if there is any way to install APKs from a different rom onto current rom. I am currently running IncRom 1.2, but I have never been a fan of Sense dialers. I would like to install either MIUI dialer or any 2.3 based dialer. Is it possible, and if so, how would I go about doing that? Any info. would be greatly appreciated.
Just download whatever rom you want the apk from and put it onto your new rom? I hope that makes sense as I can't think of a better way to explain ...

I get what you're saying and I've tried that before, but then I always get force closes on phone app. What I've done before is grab apk from 2nd rom, place it in place of apk in current rom. I've tried zipping after that, and not zipping the file. After trying both ways, I reinstall rom, then run into the force close issue. Do I need to reinstall Rom after that? Or am I not even doing this the right way?
You need to fix the permission after you put it into your rom. I use root explorer and its two boxes for the first row then one for the other two.

Sounds good. Will try fixing permissions. Will report back on results. BTW, thanks for the help so far.
I don't think it is possible because the phone apk is tied into the framework. Please correct me if I'm wrong

I fixed permissions, removed current phone.apk and replaced it with the fixed phone.apk. I rezipped rom and reinstalled. Once it was up and running I was right back where I started with the original phone.apk, minus the fc's.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I know this works with the music.apk as I've done it in the past just replacing the stock app with the gingerbread music app and it worked just fine after setting permissions. But now that I think about it more I think I also had to install it just like a regualr app to get all the files in place then set permissions not just replace the file in the system/app folder.
The phone apk ties into other programs. It is not a stand alone flash. There would need to be some code changes to make it work.
Seems like too much work for me. Appreciate the ideas & help you guys offered.

Check out incredibly re-engineered...
Aosp dialer will probably not work on a Sense based roms as Sense is a UI overlayed and pretty deeply integrated into the Android os. You may want to consider one of the dialer options from market...Dialer one is popular. Or you may just want to consider moving to an aosp rom.

I have been trying to install reengineered but ever since I updated clockworkmod I can't. That's besides the point. I have used a few aosp roms but miss out on Sense. Guess I have my cake, but can't eat it. Oh well.

Clockwork recovery is your recovery. The name "recovery" is a little misleading personally but whatever. Anyhow, I dont think it's possible to get sounds on your boot animation since you are using miui (aosp roms don't have it built in). I think there is a thread around here about getting them, I just don't know where. Search for it if you like.
To get the actual animation though, just put the bootanimation.zip file on your sd card, not in any folders or anything. Then go into your recovery (clockwork), and flash bootanimation.zip from there. No need to wipe anything usually.
The instructions listed on that thread you linked are for doing it from your computer, a little more complicated than mine.
Sent from my hand with XDA Premium installed
will try thanks
said that installiation aborted, can you recommened a rom to use? i'm still searching for a fav
MIUI lets you change boot animation and sound through the Theme Manager. The files are stored in different locations than on any other rom. If you'll link me to the file I'll make you a mtz file to use in Theme Manager and you can set any sound as the boot sound.

Try wiping cache and dalvik then reflashing the rom over itself. Don't wipe data and everything will be the way it was before the reflash. You can also try fixing permissions through Rom Manager or in Amon Ra recovery "fix apk uid mismatches". If you do both of these and the Theme Manager still doesn't work, the mtz file won't work.
I'm a little busy, but I'll go ahead and start on it. When I'm done I'll post it here along with directions assuming you get Theme Manager to work.

Well an mtz file won't work on that rom. I don't think the boot animation will work the way it's currently set up. I'll try it on my phone and see.

Just drop it on the root of your sdcard, then use a root explorer, to locate the app on the sdcard, long press, enable all the permissions, move to /system/app then install. Make sure you are mounted as r/w.
Edit: I don't know if he pulled this from a sense rom, because its not installing on Cm7 for me, with enabling all the permissions, I can say its not going to work.
It may need to be in /system/app.
Do you have Root Explorer?

Try these gapps > http://www.mediafire.com/?92475r3frlncg29
And yes, they're safe.
If you do have Root Explorer (or another root level file explorer), copy the downloaded apk then navigate to /system/app. You need to mount as r/w - in Root Explorer there's a button in the top right to do so. Paste the apk in that folder, then long-press the geniewidget.apk. Choose "permissions" from the list and change them to rw-r--r--
It should look like this:
x x -
x - -
x - -
X's are checked, dashes are not.
Then reboot, and you should have it.

I do have root explorer and I have tried every option posted on this thread with no luck.
But, Im using the weather channel widget for my weather right now and i like it a lot better than the genie widget.
Any recommendations for any other weather widgets that are reliable?
Beautiful widgets are beautiful. Try it out. If you like it there is a paid version, but the default with no skins are nice too.
For just weather, I use Palmary Weather. It's also a paid app, but has the best weather widgets I've ever seen. Beautiful Widgets is good if you want a clock as well, otherwise it's a little bulky for just weather in my opinion. I wasn't aware that there's a free version.
