I'm discouraged because some people say it works flawlessly, others not at all. Ensure that you delete the market version of Flash, and then install the new modified version. Next ensure that you enable Plug-Ins (set to always-on)in the settings of Dolphin Mini, and change the user agent. This should work. Throw in a reboot for measure, just to be sure.
I assure this works flawlessly for me, I'll update the OP once we figure out what's impeding your progress.
Rebooting didnt help and under settings the option to clear cache or clear data is greyed out (perhaps because I haven't run any flash content yet).
Thanks for your help. Hoping to get this resolved and working!
Try reinstalling the modified APK. Ensure your old version is deleted. Now go to market and search for Adobe Flash. After you have installed the modified APK, you should no longer be able to download Flash from the market, it will just give the option to Open or Manage.
You should be good to go. Report your findings in the thread. Thanks.
Did all of that (yes, the Flash page in the market reads as Open/Manage). Still get the same message at hulu. As a test I also tried HBOGO.com and get the same message stating I need Flash 10.0.32.
I ran this version before it was posted here. I also use dolphin hd. One thing i would recommend, uninstall flash, reboot, then install the new version 2 hulu flash file. If you want to test if you have the right one installed, go to Flash Version and it should show WIN 99 99 99 99.
still unable to get this working with dolphin browser (mini nor HD). with dolphin Mini I did get audio with no video 3 times out of 7 attempts. I did however allow two shows to play entirely using stock browser with ua string desktop mod. I found initial 5 seconds of video minimally choppy then smooth for the remainder of the video. no audio sync problems.
Tried this as well and no dice. The odd thing I'm finding is that after installing Flash isn't even listed under the "Running" section of the app manager. It says it's installed but clearly isn't running. Maybe I'll try the other download, perhaps something is borked with the dropbox version.
edit: APK from other download link didnt work either.

Consider uninstalling Adobe Air. A previous post mentioned it worked after doing so. Unsure about status after re-install though.
Ok, try running through the installation one more time from step one, I have updated the OP to reflect some changes.
let me know how it goes.
Not working for me either. I have the Xoom. I uninstalled Flash and Air, rebooted, installed the Hulu_2 apk and Dolphin Mini, set the user agent to Desktop and plug-ins to always on, but Hulu tells me I need to download Flash. I tried downloading the apk from the other site as well. No luck.
Edit: The Flash Version page behaves as if I don't have Flash installed at all.

To anyone who is having trouble with this mod, do you have root? Are you running a modified kernel. My Xoom is mostly stock except for the Tiamat kernel. I am beginning to wonder if there is something in the kernel that is enabling this to work so well on my machine, but not at all on others.
I'm stock. Reran everything from the beginning and it still isn't working. As FCOD said, it behaves as if Flash isn't installed at all.

5UPDATE 5/4: It has been determined, although it remains unclear as to why, that you need a modified kernel in order for this mod to work. It is my intention to get Hulu working across the Honeycomb platform, so if you have any input as to why Tiamat's kernel is required, please address it in this thread

Using a modified version of the new (4/29)10.2 Flash update, created by imneveral0ne, from the Thunderbolt forums, and Dolphin Mini, with minor settings adjustments, you can enjoy smooth, clear playback of content from Hulu, in it's full browser format. This includes access to all content, including those deemed unavailable for access by mobile devices or TV's. The apk modification essentially changes the user agent of Flash as it appears on the net.
Previously, this has been possible using a similarly modified apk, changing your user agent to desktop, and viewing Hulu using an alternate URL, www.hulu.com/widget/player. While not only presenting an awful UI, this method of playback resulted in choppy video that often fell out of sync.
If you are currently not using Dolphin Mini as a daily browser, it will be easy for you to install it, and implement it as a single purpose browser. Just change the homepage to hulu.com. It's UI is conveniently matched to the design of Hulu's website, which makes for a clean experience. It's light and fast, and could be a daily driver for those looking for a minimalist browser.
The entire experience is smoother, Flash is behaving like it should. Selecting options from within the Hulu playback interface has been a nightmare, but with the updated flash, and HRI66, it's an entirely pleasant way to watch great content on the Xoom.
As for playback, you will find smooth playing video, at 480p. 480p looks great on the Xoom and the Tegra 2 handles it beautifully. By manually lowering the resolution of choice, to either 360p or 288p, you will notice the decrease in resolution, however, you should increase your available bandwidth and relax the stress on your processor, likely saving battery life.
Regarding HD, it is possible, with Hulu Plus of course, to play video in 720p . However, because hardware acceleration has yet to be enabled, the resulting video will be choppy and most likely unwatchable. This has been tested with an over-clocked Tegra2 at 1.5ghz. It would be fair to assume that when the Xoom and/or Honeycomb receive the update Adobe is referring to, 720p HD playback will be possible. In the mean time, 480p looks fantastic.
Also of note, true multitasking is possible using this mod. You can go back to your homescreen, open new apps, check your mail, and your Hulu video will remain playing in the background. You can still hear audio, and work during commercials, resuming playback instantly.
As for installation, this couldn't be easier.
1. Download modified Flash 10.2 HERE CHOOSE LINK #2 LABELED Flash 10.2 + Hulu_2.apk OR from this dropbox public link
2. Uninstall your current version of Flash using the Manage Applications setting.
3. Reboot
4. Install modified version of Flash 10.2
5. Install Dolphin Mini from the Market HERE
6. In Dolphin Mini, change the user agent to Desktop (Menu>Toolbox>UserAgent>Desktop) and change plug-ins to always on (Menu>Toolbox>Settings>Enable Plug-Ins>Always On). This will ensure Flash content plays back immediately.
7. Go to hulu.com and enjoy all the great content on the go with your Android Honeycomb Tablet!!!!
Instructions updated to reflect the following contribution.
If you are having trouble, for example, Hulu is telling you Flash is not installed, please leave a post in the thread noting your model(Wifi or 3g), your build number(HRI39, HRI66 etc), your kernel(modified or stock) and your recovery. It has been determined that a custom kernel is required for this mod to work appropriately. If you have any idea as to why this may be the case, please dump your ideas in this thread.1I ran this version before it was posted here. I also use dolphin hd. One thing i would recommend, uninstall flash, reboot, then install the new version 2 hulu flash file. If you want to test if you have the right one installed, go to Flash Version and it should show WIN 99 99 99 99.1
Consider uninstalling Adobe Air. A previous post mentioned it worked after doing so. Unsure about status after re-install though.
