Hulu and Flash 10.1

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.

Have you rooted your phone yet? If not, I'm assuming that will be step number 1 as I don't think any app will allow you to do this without being rooted, but I cannot say for sure.

Well, you're going to have to root your phone. Then install a new ROM.
Each of the hacks is ROM specific. I can say that SFR1.2 and EH06 are both nice.
Root using the CWM3.1.0.1 purple
SFR needs a kernal flashed after the ROM but before reboot. You may want to use the clean kernel as an easy start. Otherwise any of the EC05 kernels will work.
EH06 has a few nice add-ons avaialble, but no OC/UV kernels (not a big deal, really).
Have fun!

I don't think he would have to install a custom ROM to wifi tether. I mean, if you're going to root, might as well put a custom ROM on there, but if the OP wants to keep it simple and ONLY wifi tether, than he can simply root, install a wifi tether app, and away he goes.

Rooting your device gives you more control over you device than what the manufacturer/carrier allow you.

1. If you root you won't lose contacts, if you flash a rom it will most likely wipe everything, so after you root, install titanium backup and backup all apps and only certain data. Also you can link your contacts to your gmail so all you have to do is long in your gmail and all your contacts will be there. Or there are a few apps on the market to backup contacts.
2. No signup needed... as its a hacked version of the official one and bypasses the authentication checks, it will just look like you are using a lot of data, they have no way of knowing your tethering unless you show them u r rooted and have that...
3. The hotspot hack is infrastructure and works on 3g/4g and has many security option
Hope that helps and don't forget to hit thanks!

Also i recommend flashing clean GB rom as its as stock as it gets and most stable

awesome thank you for the information. So if I flash the GB rom, I will lose all data until I recover it which shouldn't be a problem. Does the GB rom include the wifi/usb tethering hack?

Davidrules is correct but his recommendation for clean gb is the name of the rom. "CleanGB" by toadlife. You can find it in the developers section, and yes it includes the hack with nothing else needed. Do this: 1-root by watching qbking77's videos in the general section stickey. 2-install and run titanium backup. 3-download CleanGB to your sd card. 4-boot into clockwork (pwr+vol down+camera) and install zip from sd. Choose the cleangb zip file. 5-do a restore from titanium of missing apps and data.
This is an overview but with the videos, you should be good 2 go!

The restore method worked perfect for me also. The buffering is caused by the ad block on your phone. You will need to delete the hosts file in system/etc.

Hmm fresh wipe of what, data/cache/dalvik? Even if you had adfree before, blocking ads, it would still be blocked without having the app because the host file is in /system so anything short of factory reset/Odin wouldn't change this.

[Fix] Network Location Updates (Cell Towers)

If you are having trouble with your network locations (cell towers) updating in the background, breaking location-aware apps like Tasker and Llama, try rolling back the com.google.android.location.apk in /system/app to a version from an older build. I am currently on Calkulin's EL29 based ROM and this has finally solved my cell tower location updating issues. Using either Root Explorer or adb, copy or push the linked file below into /system/app, replacing your current version (which will either be networklocation.apk or com.google.android.location.cpk, depending on which ROM build you are using), then reboot. The cell tower history should update in the background once again.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7821039/ET4G/com.google.android.location.apk
The purpose of this fix has nothing to do with connectivity to cell towers. It is only to facilitate the reporting by the system of which cell tower you are currently connected to, and which towers you have been connected to, in order to enable location to be reported to applications on the device that rely on network location as opposed to GPS location. For example, this fix enables Llama to function perfectly for me, so it changes my sound profiles based on my current location. It will also allow weather widgets to correctly determine you current location based on cell tower location instead of GPS.

how long have you been using this and is it still working? i thought i figured mine out by changing the modemback to el26 but after a few days this morning it would not update. just hopeing this is going to fix it for good.

Interesting, as mine is actually called com.google.android.location.apk. I think the apk name changed somewhere along the line from this to networklocation.apk, which may actually coincide with when the functionality broke, but I have no way to confirm that right now.

EDIT: Nevermind, used Root Explorer and copied it after changing mount to R/W and it is fine. Then I installed it using the package installer in Root Explorer. Not sure if I should have done that or changed the name to the networklocation.apk and overwritten the old networklocation.apk, any ideas?
Thanks, really hope this works.

You do not need to rename the file or install it. Just replace the existing apk file (which would be called networklocation.apk or com.google.android.location.apk, depending on what ROM build you are on) it using root explorer, or push using adb.

I replaced the apk and now I get the following error each time I reboot:

Probably just forgot. For future reference, It's something you should always do when replacing a system file. Change permissions to match the existing file.

I placed the build.prop file in the /system directory and gave it a reboot. My phone didn't show the boot animation. Wouldn't boot at all. I had to restore from a nandroid.
I used root explorer. Perhaps it can only be done using adb?

I used root explorer and had no problems.

I'll re-download and try again tomorrow.

There seems to be a bunch of different root explorer apps in the play store.. Is one better than another? and if so please recommend.

I think most people will agree that root explorer by speed software is one of the, if not the best file manager on the play store

This mod is for the latest ota update. As I said I don't have a device to test has it worked for anyone. Also, if any flashaholics would like to test for me PM me, I will send you my gtalk account info. I am working on cooking up a rom, without a device though I will need testers.
