Hulu+ from Android Market - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey all,
I'm not sure if this has already been posted. I just picked up the E4GT a few weeks ago and just started following the threads in xda. I found a thread where you could download the apk for hulu+ that supposedly works for the E4GT but I couldn't get it to work for myself. Then just playing around I got this to work...
1. Googled hulu with the standard browser
2. Selected Hulu Plus - Apps on Android Market
3. Complete action using... Internet
4. Selected install
5. Selected sign in
6. Complete action using Market
7. Accept & download - and you have it...
Android market says "Your device isn't compatible with this item" but it works perfectly fine for me. I'm not rooted or anything... completely stock. Thought I'd pass it on. Good luck.

I wish there was a boxee client for Android. That with navi-x repo, who needs Netflix or hulu!

The OPs instructions do work, but you need to pay for a Hulu+ subscription to be able to use the app (as I found out.) Useful to people who already have a Hulu subscription who want to watch it on their phone.

Ya, hulu plus works fine. I wonder why it isn't available for our phone straight from the market. You would think they would let the most popular Android phone in the world use their app.
On my Epic mobile phone.

Thanks OP
I've been trying this method for months and never worked. Had the yellow banner stating not compatible, but I bet it's the new market handles different

Hulu (yes hulu)

I wast under the impression that with froyo browser and complete flash it was possible to stream hulu on or phones. Is this true?

While Flash is capable of playing content Hulu blocks access by mobile devices. I believe this is because their licensing terms don't allow them to distribute content to anything but PC's.
There's another thread somewhere that details how to get Hulu on your Android device. You basically need a hacked version of Flash (I think) and then a small system tweak to make Hulu's servers think the request is coming from a desktop. I just saw it yesterday. . . .

I don't know about the hacked flash thing but simply changing the user agent doesn't work anymore. It does work for porn sites though fyi.

Is the hack listed here in the q n a board? Also, lol about the porn. Good to know XD.

I think you just have to set your browser to desktop mode to view hulu. Type: about:debug In browser, then enter, then look for it in settings.

no. you'll need a hacked flash as well as the ua string change.
I must say, XDA has a beautiful forum search function(thank you xda!). If people just @#(*$# used it sometimes they would have the answer to their own questions 99.99999% of the time.
Just saying..........

[Solved] GTA III black screen when starting

Anyone else getting this? Using Revolution Rom + siyah kernel.
I downloaded the game over 3g.
Hlaaap!
*Edit* 3g download was the culprit. Downloaded a second time over wifi. All good now.

works fine for me using VillanRom3.0 with RAGEMod 1.1b
are you using chainfire3d?
I wasn't. Then I tried with it. No luck. Must be a download pb. I will start again when I have wifi tonight.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
You have to remember that it isn't an officially supported device so there is no promise that it will work.
That's not what I heard (Engadget news and market comments)...that's why I bought it on the market (if it's there, it's compatible, right?)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I assumed too that being on the market it is compatible. I'll download it over wifi in a few hours after work.
Sent from my GT-I9100 running on CheckRom RevoHD™ v4.0
Rockstar made a mistake with the compatibility part, it'll show compatible with even LG GT540
However, Galaxy S2 is OK and is working fine. Just uninstall all, reboot, reinstall and use WiFi to download the files. DO NOT TOUCH THE SCREEN at any point, unless it's impossible to continue (e.g. "Touch screen to continue", and even then press it only once.). When the gameplay starts, it'll work fine.
So it is? I read one of R* comments on their blogs and they said SGS2 isn't compatible right now because of diffulitites in the hardware.
Works for me with no plugin loaded in chainfire3d. I had to download the data twice because first time it would hang when loading, this is when I tried all the plugins in chainfire3d and none would get past a black screen. I deleted the data (com.rockstar.gta3 folder) from android/data then downloaded it again and it worked. Im on villain by the way. Good luck.
Did you UV/UC your cpu/gpu?
I haven't touched anything. All other games work fine. From the main Gta thread one guy with the same setup has the same pb, while another dude has it working. I bet it was a dl pb. Will check tonigjt.

Works great for me, except that my save games from iOS don't work, it crashes the game right after it's done loading

The first screen takes a while to display the cinematic intro, so give it some time. It'll display Rockstar games and stuff after a few seconds.
What? GTAIII works fine on my SGS2 and it loads up fast. No problems, smooooth as
Solved. Downloaded again over wifi. Works great now, no cf3d requiees. Edited 1st post. Thanks for replies.

Not Working
While my game starts up fine with the Rockstar Cine coming up immediately, I still can't play the bloody game!!
The game starts.
I goto Start Game -> New Game
And this is where the problem occurs. The loading bar goes till 80-85% and then freezes there.
Do you think the Download is an issue (I used Wi-Fi @ 2Mbps. Dled in appx 20-25mins)!
I could really use some help here, guys!

I'm having the same issue, the app probably just needs to be updated for ICS but it is quite frustrating haha.
I tried it last night and was getting the same error.
Just updated Adobe AIR and the WatchESPN app with the same result; not sure if its a AIR issue or WatchESPN
Submitted feedback via the app this morning and got this back just now acknowledging they're aware and working on it:

Sweet!
I wonder if it will be a update to the software or something internal
Updated air and flash.got it to work through my browser but still wont work through the app. Would post a pic of mnf if i knew how to...
here's a screenshot form my phone of halftime from the monday night football game.
again this is through the stock browser though, and not from the app. but at least it's possible to watch espn (work around as it is though)... for now...

[Q] Samsung Remote apk (TV remote)

Does anyone have the apk for the latest, v2.2.5, Samsung Remote app? I know it's not officially supported by the gnex but I've just got my first LCD TV (UE40D6530 even though you didn't ask) after having an SD CRT for donkeys and I heard it may work.
By the looks of it it's out there on various random sites but I really don't trust them.

SamyGo Remote works with samsung tv's (UE55 even though you didn't ask ).
Cheers, saw SamyGo but wasn't sure if it was for the newer ones and wanted to compare it to the real deal. Guess I'll just have to use that, my TV doesn't support twin view or dual view or whatever it's called anyway.
Bump as I've got SamyGo which does work but doesn't allow for easy text input, say for searching iPlayer or using the built in web browser.
I've emailed Samsung to request an update to the app so it supports ICS but no idea how long that could take.
Does anyone have a copy they can post? The official Samsung app is the only one that allows you to turn your TV on with Bluetooth and I have heard that the apk works with the galaxy nexus.
Also interested. I have a le40652 possibley meant to have a B in there not sure. I don't think the official Samsung one supports my TV its one year too old, I never got on very well with this whole sammygo swapping TV firmwares I couldnt get it to work.

I tried the app (not connected to the TV), and it seems it's locked to a lower resolution so it won't go fullscreen. I still hope it works with my TV, since even with smaller graphics it is still better then sammygo
/edit: The app works, I've not tried it with Bluetooth only wifi.
can anybody please post a mirror? link to dropbox doesn't work anymore.
thanks
Its 2.2.5
Anyway to change the dpi (make it full screen)
Samsung smartview supports higher resolutions. Try getting that apk

Thanks I suppose. That thread and mod is over a year old. It works. But Hulu Plus works on the GN2. In fact, Hulu Plus on the market is version 2.4 and the modded one you link to is version 1.0.1.
This mod is good if you want to use HML out. I don't know if it's the mod, but video out is not disabled. The one from the market you can't use HML/HDMI out.
Whats the point of this? Am I missing something? Still cant watch full episodes. I need to be a subscribed customer all I can watch are the free ones=lame
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
basically, not all android devices Hulu let use Hulu Plus. The mod gave the ability to use Hulu Plus on any Android device. It had nothing to do with giving free access, which was stated in the original thread.

No, I have sgn2 running Paranoid android 4.1.2 and I couldn't watch anything. I keep getting this, until I downloaded modded apk

ah gotcha. I'm running a deoxedized stock rom and have no issues.
My guess, the rom is missing the DRM keys. On my tablet (asus tf700t) if I unlock the boot loader to flash custom anything, the DRM keys will be removed and then Hulu Plus won't work.
But what I said about HDMI out still holds true.

Yea, I dont currently have a MHL yet but i'd only use to watched downloaded movies anyway but its confirmed not working on my note with PA 2.56 anyway.
I'm sure if I restore back to my stock deox that it will work fine too but gotta have my ParanoidAndroid
