Hulu Plus on Verizon Galaxy Nexus; NEED APK

Can someone please pull the APK for Hulu Plus from a Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
I'm curious if Hulu is using the Multi APK support in Market to target a different version for Verizon Galaxy Nexus's (see this if you don't know what I'm talking about: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/07/multiple-apk-support-in-android-market.html )
For sure GSM Galaxy Nexus's do NOT work with the Hulu Plus in the Market but reports are Verizon Galaxy Nexus's work. Want to see if Hulu is playing any shenanigans with a targeted APK as I don't see how a Sept 2011 APK is figuring out to work on a handset that wasn't out when Hulu Plus still doesn't work on a load of other handsets.
I don't care if you subscribe to Hulu Plus, just need someone with root to yank the APK from a Verizon Galaxy Nexus (NOT a GSM one). NOTE: will be in /data/app-private - but if not there look in /data/app ]

No apk private file on my GN lte. App private had no hulu app. Hulu did not work on my device at all. Hope this helps in some way.

Sorry meant to say look in app-private...
Are you LTE or GSM? People are posting comments in the app review stating it works fine on Galaxy Nexus LTE
Better yet if someone on a Galaxy Nexus LTE with Hulu installed (but not yet signed into Hulu Plus) want to do a Titanium Backup

Yes LTE but not stock. Can't remember if I visited Hulu before or after I flashed. Would love to see hulu on this device. And swype as well, lol.

I just launched the hulu plus app that I had on my G2 and restored onto my gnex with titanium. Got caught up watching terra nova anyway, seems to work great on the vzw gnex. Dunno if it's installable from the market or anything, but it's at last usable

Bump
I pay for Hulu Plus and it's frustrating that I don't have a working app for my LTE Gnex. I am unlocked and rooted running 4.0.3 AX1OM v2.3. Anyone know of a working .apk that I can install?

Another bump from a paying user

Odd, day one I installed form market fine... but yeah, now market says Nexus not compatible.... seems like Hulu updated phones list...
here is my APK from my Nexus: http://www.mediafire.com/?j64o0sz6ylg5jyg

The ota update rendered hulu plus useless. After the cfl update hulu was no longer available in the market place. Hulu was working fine prior to ota with no root. The preexisting hule apk upon launch read the device is not supported. Verizon said talk to hulu when I know the update killed it. I though netflix was for the iphone crew and hulu was for android wheres the love android.

ya, they updated and device isn't officially supported anymore until contracts adjusted.

Flash Video Browser works fine for Hulu Plus on my stock LTE Nexus running 4.0.2.
The app isn't quite as user friendly as the official Hulu apk, plus it's 99 cents in the market...but depending on how much you're going to use it, is well worth it until the official APK is compatible.

I installed the apk and it won't let you watch videos from within the app. I was super excited about this, oh well

Didn't work for me.....followed your steps. extracted it to TB folder and did a App+Data restore....when I opened the app, it said that this device is not compatible with Hulu

I have hulu plus apk that someone posted that works on all android devices. Not sure if that claim is true but it works on my cdma Nexus. Also have a modified version of Swype someone posted as well. Search for the threads, if you can't find them message me and I'll forward the apks, i would rather you find them in the appropriate threads though so the dev/poster gets credit not i..

That's a different app and not compatible over here in Canada. The one I attached is provided by the Canadian network fido and at present it is restricted not to work on the Samsung galaxy s2 for some bizarre reason. I was hoping it would be an easy change in a line of code to enable its use on the s2 hence the request to decompile.

I'm with Fido on my HTC One X and would love to see this happen to. I'd post a bounty if anyone is interested in doing the work.

Google wallet fix for SGS3 US variants AT&T, T-MOBILE, US Cellular, VERIZON, etc

Understanding google wallet
the new google wallet is now available on ALL devices, however the "tap and pay" feature isn't
the tap and pay feature is officially only supported on the following devices

Tablets
ASUS Nexus 7 (2012)
ASUS Nexus 7 3G (2012)*
Samsung Nexus 10
other phone can support tap and pay.... they just need a work around
for google wallet (TAP) to work first your nfc libs need to be correct (smx enabled)
and second the google servers need to see that your phone is supported for the initial setup (build.prop edit)
for example, if you have an AT&T galaxy s3, the smx (most likely) is not enabled because they want you to use ISIS (which uses the secure element in the sim card)
We cannot compile the att version of touchwiz because we have no source, we can take the correct libs from a sprint gs3 to use on an att phone (see lib fix below)
When trying to get wallet to work on a new device/rom take the following steps
1-instal wallet from play or side load. Set up and see if tap and pay is enabled. if no, see step 2
2-change build.prop to galaxy nexus (see below) uninstall wallet then reboot and repeat step 1. if no, see step 3
3-run a logcat while opening wallet and look for "wallet" , "nfc" , and "smx" . Most likely at this point you need a (lib fix) In other words, you need the smx enabled libraries and corresponding files from a supported device. flash appropriate files (see lib fix zip) and start at 1
4-once google wallet TAP is working, the build.prop can be reverted, but sometimes is will break wallet (TAP) and it might take a couple times for success. keeping the build.prop as galaxy nexus has no real side effects (I currently have a sony galaxy nexus )
old wallet fix
*The lib&nfc fix is intended touchwiz roms
For CM9/10,aokp, and any other aosp rom, just flash the desired version wallet as the libs and nfc apk are correct
latest Wallet version 1.5-r87-v15 changelog
where google wallet works
Google wallet (rom) compatibly list
to contribute here is the google wallet compatibly list thread
Ok, first a little background
basically what you are seeing if you try to install google wallet on at&t, tmo, etc, is you get stuck on "activating device"
If you dig a little further and ran a logcat, you will see that there it no "SMX detected"
What this means, when compiling the rom you need to enable SmartMX in the config headers located in the external/libnfc-nxp library. (thats why it works on CM9/10, they do this)
this is impossible for us because there is no source for samsung's TouchWiz. We got a break on the international sgs3 as the latest update has the secure element enabled...so does the sprint sgs3
well that got me thinking, and of course sprint's nfc libs are close enough to work without breaking anything
so this is how to do it. (btw, you need root)
1-make a nandroid! I am not responsible if you mess up your device
2-edit you build.prop using root explorer (when you press save, it creates a build.prop.bak)
do not use ES explorer, it does not save correctly, for that matter ONLY use root explorer! (or adb push/pull)
/system/build.prop
preferred
Code:
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
or
Code:
ro.product.model=htc_jewel
ro.product.name=htc_jewel
ro.product.device=htc_jewel
3-If you already have Wallet installed...open wallet, go to settings and "reset google wallet" (if it hangs at 99%, reboot and continue with steps)
(if you are (re)installing a new rom, this applies too...reset google wallet from within app)
4-boot to recovery and flash SGS3-TW-US_variants-lib&nfc-fix.zip for ics touchwiz roms or SGS3-TW-US_variants-lib_nfc-fix-jellybean_4.1-1.zip for jellybean touchwiz roms and then wallet version com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.1.5-r87-v15.zip
(for CM9/10, I9300, aokp, aosp roms just flash the wallet zip)
5-reboot device, you will get "android is updating" (only this first boot)(all apps)
6-open google wallet and sign in. add your personal credit cards (you must add them from your desktop first if you have never used google checkout before)
7-(optional)if you get "error adding card try again later", wipe cache and davlik cache from recovery (only once! it sometimes takes hours, not minutes)
8-profit (hold on! your not done, continue on to steps 9 & 10)
9-after it is all up and running (meaning cards added), mount r/w in root explorer, delete the modded build.prop, then rename build.prop.bak to build.prop
10-make a new nandroid with working wallet and put it in a safe place in case you ever accidentally install a new ROM without resetting google wallet data.
still confused, here is a video of how to do it by moonfire711

notes*
-if you have used google wallet on another device, your prepaid card on the sgs3 is not the same...so balances will not carry over on the prepaid card prepaid is finished
-despite the new cloud-based authentication system, the app does not require the phone to have a data connection to make payments at NFC-equipped terminals
-really the key to this fix is the libs with the security element enabled.
-the build.prop edit is for enabling cards, once they are enabled it can be reverted
-the wallet apk has 3 features patched out. The first was a device check, the second patch was an operator check and the third patch was removing the root warning
-NEVER, I REPEAT NEVER RESTORE GOOGLE WALLET WITH TITANIUM BACKUP! (please click link on step 10)

that can take some time, its not always within 5 mins (it can take hours)
if you get an error adding card, post a logcat while doing it

SUCCESS!!! I got google wallet working on my T-Mobile USA GS3 (t-999) running the Free GS3 R3 ROM by following the OP instructions. It hung for several minutes trying to add the google prepaid card but it finally came around. I was on my home wifi if that makes a difference for anyone.
I'm going out on a limb here to guess you could use the build.prop strings from the Sprint GS3 instead of htc_jewel since that is the origin of the NFC library files but I guess as long as it works it doesn't really matter. I used htc_jewel as instructed in the OP.
I would add the following to your instructions:
1.5 - make a backup copy of your build.prop file
8 - once you have verified everything is working, put your backup copy of build.prop back in place and reboot
Edit: Also, it would be a good idea to make a nandroid backup once wallet is working and store it somewhere safe. That way you can restore to a working config if you accidentally install a new ROM without resetting google wallet data.

I tried it on AOKP (7.12.2012 Build) and I can get past the "this device is not supported" stage and through to the Terms and Condition page but when I click agree, it tells me NFC needs to be enabled and "exit" "settings" menu option pops up. I click on settings which takes me to "more..." under settings which displays "airplane", "VPN", "tethering", etc but no NFC options.
If I remember correctly, on yesterdays release, NFC was there in all it's glory with the option for lockscreen, etc... But now, it's no where to be found.
I guess I'll be posting this to the AOKP forum (task650 and ktoonsez) and see what they say.

sweet. you might be the first with a tmobile sgs3 with a working google wallet (using tw)
I will add to the op...yes, as far as the build.prop, it really doesn't matter...that is just what worked for me. I will add though, after you get it up and going, you can put your stock build.prop back in...

[Q] Help choosing custom ROM?

I am new to this type of work, I recently just followed a guide to unlock, root, and install 4.2.2 on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I used the WugFresh? tool and it seemed to go pretty smooth.
However, now my phone will crash several times a day. I get messages that bluetooth has stopped working, or the lockscreen has stopped working, and sometimes it just won't turn the screen on and I need to pull the battery.
Can someone recommend a good ROM that I can push to the device that is tried and tested? I don't know where to find ROMs, how to compare them, or what is best for me. I just want the latest version of stock Android on my almost 2 year old Galaxy Nexus.
I was looking at this page:
[Can't post link as I am a new user...]
and I think I would want the ROM under:
Factory Images "mysid" for Galaxy Nexus "toro" (Verizon CDMA/LTE)
called '4.2.2 (JDQ39)'
I have attached a couple images showing the 'About Phone' so you can see what I currently have.
Thanks in advance,
David

I recommend Shiny ROM. It's pretty much 4.4.2 without any modifications. For me, it's been the most stable of KitKat Roms.
