Cool, but asphalt 6 doesn't even download cuz it's not optimized for our device. I downloaded Need for speed and it's free but it's just a trial,

That's odd. Asphalt 6 installed fine for me. But NFS was a trial :-(

Did it?? Are u rooted? Maybe it's the kernel I'm using.Hmmmm.

I posted about the Samsung App store and the free asphalt 6 version being offered about a month ago. Specifically how we can't download asphalt 6, so if you've figured out how to DL that specific title please share the details.

what stock apk do you mean? if you mean the Samsung app store app then the one I posted is stock pulled from original galaxy s 2.

So far I've been able to download 2 out of three apps. The only I had a problem with was Asphalt 6. Thanks for posting.

downloaded to pc but it won't download to the S2
its always download unsuccessful. I even "logged in" first with the browser thinking thats why it did not work.
sending the link download fails. using the qrcode download fails. is it something silly stupid I am doing wrong? (jacking usb now to install)

Thanks Jase, I installed the APK and it works perfectly. Looks like a few good games, others seem like trials. One BIG issue I have with the app, is that it does not seem to show permissions the apps want as you instal them, so you never know. NOT a plus.

When the app is about to be installed, there are permissions being shown. Unfortunately... The permissions down seem to be EVERY SINGLE THING THAT COULD BE ASKED FOR. I don't understand why a ns trial game has to read my text messages, but whatever.
Is there any chance we can get a list if full games on this list? I'm tired of downloading something just for it to be a 3 minute trial.
Trying out this E4GT...

All the cool, fun games seem to be demos...

reply.. having issue also
I'm also having trouble just getting the apk file to download. Everytime I try it just says download unsuccessful. Even tried the QR code and that was also unsuccessful.
I don't have internet at my house right now so i'm not able to download the file to my PC. My phone is rooted and I do have tethering but its really not useful for me right now cuz where I live i'm lucky if I ever get 2 bars on my signal. So without a good signal its hard to tether..
So its there another way for me to be able to download this apk??
Thanks

All downloads went through, but this app kills my battery...i was wondering what kills my battery so quick all of a sudden and i believe this app was involved. So i removed it, and battery is well

I guess it doesn't work on third party roms?

Working Hulu with adobe flash 11.1 [12/26/11]

I only take credit for finding these files and making some sence out of it.
First you have to uninstall the current version of Flash , I like to use Titanium Backup to wipe cache and uninstall, but you can do this from Setting Applicaton.
****Updated 7-16-12***
Watching Amazon Instant Videos and Hulu on your SII with the ICS update. Simple... You'll have to use Dolphin Browser and the updated ICS Adobe Flash. See the downloads below. I've never had and luck with Amazon Instant Video player or getting in registred on ICS, but with my Prime memberhip, Dolphin Brower, and updated Flash for ICS, I can stream my Prime Videos.
***This is not a Hulu plus subscription or a hack for it, all this does is trick the web site into thinking you are on something else other then a Andriod device.***
You have to be rooted…
So get rid of Adobe Flash by clearing data and uninstalling.
Once Adobe flash has be uninstalled reboot.
Now Install the new Adobe flash 10.3,
Once installed, reboot
Now install the Hulu APK and or Dolphin Browser
After you launch the program you'll see the black square just click on it and it take some time to load
After the ads your video should start.
*** Added Huluifed Adobe flash 10.3 and 11.1 you can try either one. I tested both and they worked for me***
A good combo is 10.3 and Dolphin browser with the following setting, this way you can have all the options that the website has.
However I'm running the Huluified 11.1 and the Hulu.apk, and it's working great.
Adobe flash 11.1 and dolphin browser works you have to allow for pop us and manually click on the ad so that you can get through them. Then the video will start, if you find a better work around let me know, plus it was hit or miss.
My Dolphin Brower Setting
1) Set flash to always on.
2) Set User agent to Desktop
3) Keep Screen On
4) Enable plug-in always on
5) Load Images

Why do you need the Hulu app? Can't you just watch it from the website using the hacked version of flash? Besides, don't you need a paid account to use the Hulu app?

Hulu is free, go to the http://www.hulu.com/ website for details
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hulu.plus

Yes, but doesn't hulu from any mobile device(read phone out tablet) require a hulu plus subscription?
I thought the whole hacked flash thing was so hulu thought you were accessing their site from a desktop.

I have been running Hulu Plus on my setup since day one. The secret is to use backup files from a working phone and those files are in the Titanium Backup folder on your SD card. Then it works like a charm. I have BOTH Netflix Paid member and Hulu+ running nicely. Wifi it's awsome. Or you will really need to be an a decent 4G minimum 2 bar area not to run into issues, such as buffering, freezes, etc. Also, on some ROMs they throw in the ad free app. Ad Free can cause issues. I believe if you set it up to revert back to stock, it won't be an issue. This particular I just looked and on my setup the Ad Free app from BigTinCan.com is set up with a check box to use 127.0.0.1. Now Hulu+ will not be interfered with. I uploaded my original files from July to Hotfiles.com download mirror.
http://hotfile.com/dl/138466459/0630641/Hulu_Plus_Tit_Backup_Files.zip.html
Unzip and then place THREE files here in your Titanium backup folder that should be on your SD card. Then simply restore Hulu + and you should be all set.
ENJOY!!
EDIT!!!!!!!!
YES!!!!I am a paid registered member for each site. You will be able to basically get to the home screen and it will ask you to log on, so unless you have a paid membership, don't waste your time. I like it a lot, since it remembers where I was watching at home and on the road if stuck ina dr. office etc, I can log back on and just resume from where I left off. This method does NOT enable users to hack on to Hulu+ and pirate use anything. It just basically fakes you phone into thinking the device is supported. Eventually, they do catch up. I had to use this method on my Sensation before the SGS2. Eventually support did come to the Sensation I believe wrt Netflix. Not sure if Hulu+ is supported yet.

I tried it but I couldn't seem to get it to work on stock browser with the "desktop view" option check on, in setting.

Well just got curious looked in the hulu+ app supported phones list an now they support three Samsung phones, the nexus s, galaxy nexus, and the sgs 2.
They released the update the 23 June. Now I don't know if anyone knows this in the forums but I'm glad to upgrade from hulu+ 1.0.116 that I got from my wife's sensation over a year 1/2 ago for my vibrant.
Cheers all
Edit: well the new interface kinda sucks took me 20 min to find access to my favorites, but I got there, this new version kinda looks like Netflix with the recommendations right there in your face.

Canadian Gnex Users, where do you get your music?

Google Music is onlyavailable in the USA. Is there a similar service in Canada?
Thanks

Once you have created an account (do it on your computer thru a proxy), you will be able to use Google Music in Canada. You can't buy music but you can still stream/download for offline use.

There is a guide how to use Google music outside of US here in xda. I followed that guide and using Google music in Korea.

I was able to use proxy very easily. Using Firefox browser, a plugin called "stealthy" is used, and is visible, once installed in the top right corner of your screen. When you want the proxy turned on, click the stealth bomber and it turns green. Want it off? Click it again and it turns red!
I am able to go to google music anytime using this method, and works flawlessly!

You know you only needed a proxy when signing up? After that, you can use Google Music normally without any issues.

Or basically anywhere you would normally get music before Google Music popped onto the scene only a few short months ago. Odd question.

I use Microsoft Zune. Music is generally cheaper than other places and the UI is great. My sister and I buy a Zune pass together. The music is DRM protected, but there are ways around that...

Mainly iTunes but that's due to a lack of options. I always check hmvdigital.ca first though and if it's the same price there, I'll get it from there instead of iTunes. hmvdigital songs are for the most part 320kpbs and are DRM free and you can download them again and again as many times as you want.

Is this still working for you? I have been using the services in Canada without issue until today, now the Music Manager won't upload additional songs. Methinks Google may have caught on.

I use 7digital. They have a Canadian store and an Android app so you can buy right to the phone if you like. The stuff I've purchased has been 320kbps DRM-free. Easy as pie.

I've been using Google music in Canada since it launched with absolutely no issues. I used a program to fake my IP for the invite, as far as I know you no longer need an invite now. Music manager works flawlessly as well, overall the whole setup is beautiful and I love it.

As far as I know, the Smartshare app that should have come stock on the OG (on the AT&T one anyways) should work with with any DNLA certified device. Just used it last night to stream a movie from my phone to a Samsung Bluray player.
Not sure if that is what you wanted.

This is what I read about App Ops:

I don't have 4.3 atm so could u please confirm? It seems very strange to have a security app wich works like that...

A new way for end users to break apps...a developers nightmare come true. While I like the idea of this it is too easy for users to switch off permissions, forget they did it, app appears broken and the developer must waste time supporting a non-issue.
This is aimed at the functionality Google has added to 4.3 not the OP's shortcut app.

The situation wouldn't be the current one if some developpers don't use useless permissions. Have a look at Facebook's permissions...

If used properly this is an awesome addition, the problem is what I stated above will indeed happen.
Example being a wallpaper app (we will call it wall-e) shouldn't be able to read contacts if it can't set contact images, in this example disabling this ability is warrented. But perhaps you didn't know this particular wallpaper app can set contact images, you disable this permisssion. Weeks later your changing John Doe's image to find wall-e in the list with gallery, you think cool I can use wall-e to change John's image so you select wall-e and bam...force close. You think the app is broken, send bug report, the developer reads the crashlog and tries for hours to find out why on this particular device setting a contact image causes a crash.
This is a general example, it gets worse as most users have no idea what permissions are really necessary for Android applications basic functionality.
Then it gets much worse, this is one user...imagine all the millions of users using hundreds of thousands of apps once 4.3 is mainstream like 4.2.

Please try this "App ops launcher", it is only 7kb, scan this and install on your device to have a try.
