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?

type about:debug in the address bar.. nothing will happen.. go to menu => settings => UAStrings => choose Desktop

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?!

The files you are deleting are used by An app or two. The app 're installs the files when you boot.

Like if you delete lost or android secure. The app will auto 're create them because it may use them

the problem is with my memory!
do you know of any app to SUPER WIPE this freaking memory????
do you know how to format it with command ?
i flashed my phone and it still wont format this memory....
its like all the files i have in my memory are super secure and they cant be deleted unless i unlock them... but idk what the heck happened...
all i remember is that it started to happen after i flashed my note and then i was downloading the radio and then every time i would go in CWM the radio file would not be there so then i rebooted the phone to check and then the radio files was not there......
i tried that like 4 times... now im at the point that i dont care and im trying to delete everything just to solve this...
this memory is just like 2 months old.... its a sandisk... i got it from walmart... 32GB.... i think my warranty was only 30 days

Exactly what file are you trying to delete. I was referring to your memory before. There are files on your removable memory that you can't delete because they will get 're written automatically

Perhaps your micro SD has a write switch on it? Lol. That's all I can think of. Otherwise boot into Ubuntu and open terminal and CD in and rm -rf *

[Q] Apps disappears on reboot with LupusGB

Hi guys, I just want to ask incase anyone of you knows the solution to my problem because i tried searching here and there but to no avail.. Everytime I use LupusGB kernel some of my apps disappears on reboot but when Im using Doomkernelv14 everything seems fine.. It just puzzles me as to why they go missing after reboot.. Hope someone can help me.. And btw my ROM is Xperia NXT Gaming 1.2.. Thanks for your answers

Are you using links2sd or apps2sd? Or maybe lucky patcher?
Sometimes it just need time to load all apps who are on sd (esspecially if you have lot of them)

I don't know what is causing that, but you could try to move them to phone memory, then move them to sd again. Try with normal way (from settings-apps) or with link2sd.
Maybe android.secure folder is deleted. You have backup?

Reboot to recovery, mount sd card from there, plug in to pc, transfer all files from sd card to pc, format sd card (from phone), transfer back sd card files.
If that doesn't work, i really don't have any more ideas...

Are you using any kind of apps like : App 2 SD ? If you do, that means you moved apps to external storage, move the apps back to internal storage.

I understand, maybe it's time to flash the ROM again, since you have root, and since all the apps uninstall themselves you have nothing to lose. Try it.

Which rom are you using?
If rooted then i would advice to clean dalvic cache and install the rom again.
Then install whatsapp and avoid restoring backup. Once you have whatsapp running u can restore backup. Also check for .nomedia files and delete if any
