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.
Oh so if I made a backup from my nexus one its saved on my sd card and I can just restore from there?!

Assuming that you are using windows
Use debloater, titanium backup or root uninstaller from market.
Ofcause u need root to remove system apps or just freeze them, same result
U don't need all 3.one will do
Here is the best solution:

Hi, I have a SONY XPERIA S rooted, and I have SuperSU after root. Now do I really need other apps like Superuser or BusyBox? Or Superuser it's the same thing as SuperSU.
Can i use the phone just with SuperSU or those apps : Superuser and BusyBox are a must ?

You don't have to install Superuser because you already have SuperSu. Busybox is very useful and many apps depend on busybox so it is much better to have busybox installed. But usually, most rooting tool kits [like DoomLorD's] even install busybox if my memory serves me. So if you would like to know if you already have busybox installed, just check my signature for my app on Playstore

Oh that's great. Then you should have busybox installed too. Busybox is not an app and hence you won't find it in the app drawer. It is an all in one executable file which contains a variety of commands [linux commands] like cp, mkdir, touch etc. It is located in system/xbin or system/bin.

Use "Root Checker Pro.apk" to check superuse & busybox is correctly installed.
Download the pro version of root checker or buy , your wish.
Busybox is required for some mods to work.
I use Xperia Ion, i need busybox for clockworkmod to work properly.
For u it might help in some other mods.
Thanks. Helped me a lot.

And another thing. What other apps are a must for a rooted phone? Like : Greenify, RomManager [Not working for me, reboots my phone when I try to make a backup ROM ] , DroidWall, Nandroid Manager,Better Terminal or any kind of terminal ? Are this useful or I may look for other apps ?
I don't have any of that. Lol

Well Titanium Backup is a must for all rooted android phones. A good file manager which can modify system files (like Root Browser by Jrummy) is also a must have app. There are many other useful utility apps which utilize superuser access like adb wireless, terminal emulators etc. Each app has it's own function so depending on your needs, just search for playstore and I am sure that you will find an app which suits you the best.
Great, although Greenify it's ok because he can help you identify and put the bad behaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them.
Root uninstaller and es file explorer. Job done

Greenify
Root Browser
Titanium backup
These 3 are must have apps after rooting your phone.
And to make a backup of ur rom why you using Rom manager ?
Use A recovery , CWM is the one im using.

If you are on ICS follow this method.
If you are on JB follow this method.
Before trying any of the above, do your own research. See if u have all the requirements before doing anything.

Done it. Download it, extracted the files, do the exact steps, everything ok, I see no change. The link you gave me for JB is [RECOVERY] CWM Recovery 6.0.3.0 for {JB} LOCKED bootloader and I have an unlocked bootloader. When Ienter in recovery with my phone it says that I have CWM v6.0.3.2
"Oh no! Your login temporarily failed, so please try again later. If your login continues to fail, please visit support.snapchat.com/a/failed-login ".
This is the message I have, I can't resolve it, I tried reinstall, uninstall whatever.... I'm not banned or anything.
They told me it could be because of the xposed.
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
What is Xposed ? I'm not root at all.
So, no one know this problem ? I'm not root, and I've never been root.
This IS because of Xposed. Your only solution is to log into snapchat with xposed uninstalled then reinstall xposed. In a nutshell:
- Disable all modules > Reboot
- Uninstall all modules, then uninstall the Xposed installer App > Reboot
- Flash the xposed uninstaller via recovery or flashfire
- Log into snapchat with your xposed free phone
- Reinstall Xposed and NEVER log out of snapchat again. Or else the same thing will happen
I believe there's some shortcuts you can take in the uninstall process, but I prefer doing the cleanest method.
There is an alternative fix. And that's only if you have a backup of SNapchat with Titanium Backup. If the backup is from a time where it was working properly, you can restore the data only to get back in.
If you don't then I recommend making a backup so incase you happen to accidentally log out, you'll have an easier time getting in

Did you buy your phone brand new or was it a used device? If it was a used device the previous owner may have rooted the phone and installed xposed

My phone was brand new and to be honest I know what I am doing. Since this is not my first device that I rooted and/or installed custom recovery with any modules

Hmm. I had this problem but it was because Snapchat did detect xposed. After i flashed a ROM without xposed, Snapchat works.

That is correct. If you can, if you try to log in through another phone that is confirmed working for someone else (Such as an iphone or another stock android), does the same error message appear?
The only two potential choices I can think of is to do a factory reset, or contact snapchat support if you cant log in anywhere else as well.

I've just resolved the problem last night, I actually made a factory reset, and after I create a new Google Account when the phone asked you, and after log in to Snapchat, but now I'm using my older gmail account and my Snapchat still works, so it's cool !

I know the thread has pretty much come to a close at this point but as a person who uses Xposed and flashes many roms, all you have to do to log in is not have xposed installed when you log in. Modules (including snapchat modification modules) don't cause login issues!

I've done it before myself with Titanium Backup. But I'm not sure how easy backup works. I know Titanium has a data only option which includes the login data.
Now the hype has died down a bit
Do we have a list of samsung bloatware that can be disabled via the apps list?
so done manually
Not using ADB
Unless you have root access, there are only a handful of apps that can be uninstalled manually without adb. Why don't you want to use adb?
You can debloat system apps using Package Disabler Pro from the playstore without root.
