So sorry that there is so much clutter right here.


This is the order of things.
1. Obama's Fix for the Hulu app (AKA the Hex fix) ***I recommend this***
2. The Long Method starting from scratch (wrong flash player/no hulu app)
3. Fixing the Demon voices
4. Getting the website to work (You need Flash to use this)



----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW: Obama's>god has posted a new flashplayer ill upload it here but I take no credit go to his thread for more details.

The zip file is called flash hex edited

***These are only instructions for getting the hulu and flash apps to work together. I have not created modified any of these files. So if there is a problem with them go find another version from around xda.***

***This works for some and not for others if it doesn't work for you try different tweaks or methods. This is the exact method that works for me with the exact files I used.***

***SORRY I CAN NOT FIX ALL OF YOUR PROBLEMS IF YOU HAVE FIGURED IT OUT PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO I CAN CORRECT THIS METHOD***

1. MOST IMPORTANT!!! Make a backup this is vital for if something goes wrong
2. Take the three files at the bottom of this thread and put them on your sd card
3. Open Titanium backup and uninstall flash

4. Uninstall it but clear data first

5. Install flash-fix from your sd card

6. If it fails to install you have to use ADB Commands to fully remove it
6a) Connect phone and enable debuging mode.
6b) open a command prompt and go into your sdk/tools folder. run "adb reboot recovery"
6c) in the cmd prompt type in "adb shell"
6d) On the phone once its loaded up recovery in to partitions menu and mount /system
6e) in the adb shell type in "cd /system/app"
6f) to rename the flash installer type in "mv install_flash_player.apk install_flash_player.apkb"
6g) in ADB tell it "exit"
6h) on the phone unmount system and data (not sure if this is necessary or not)
Exit out of recovery and verify you don't have flash installed anymore under settings \ applications \ Manage Applications \ All applications.
7. Install flash again
8. Install Hulu application (this is the one that does landscape mode)

Time to fix the demon voices
9. Reboot into recovery and flash the hulufix.zip
10. Reboot and your done :)
I wish everyone the best of luck


PS: If the flash zip is giving sign error refer to the next method

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After all of this you are still getting the voices after all of this but flash is working try this it works every time for me.
This method only works for those with clockwork recovery

1. Unzip the contents of Hulu Working Stagefright.zip into your android-sdk tools folder
2. adb reboot recovery
3. In recovery go to partitions and select mount\system
4. adb remount
5. Than use these adb commands
Code:
adb push libstagefrighthw.so /system/lib/libstagefrighthw.so

adb push libstagefright_omx.so /system/lib/libstagefright_omx.so

adb push libstagefright_color_conversion.so /system/lib/libstagefright_color_conversion.so

adb push libstagefright_avc_common.so /system/lib/libstagefright_avc_common.so

adb push libstagefright_amrnb_common.so /system/lib/libstagefright_amrnb_common.so

adb push libstagefright.so /system/lib/libstagefright.so
6. In partitions menu unmount/system
7. adb reboot


****How to get the HULU site to work on your phone****
Changing the user agent in the stock browser:
  1. Tap the address bar
  2. Clear everything, including "http://"
  3. Type "about:debug" (without the quotes)
  4. Tap "GO" on your keyboard (or Enter or whatever)
  5. No change will be seen on the screen
  6. Press Menu, More..., Settings
  7. Tap UAString (near the bottom of the list)
  8. Select Desktop

Nice work... plays well but the voices sound like they are running at 1/4 speed. I followed the directions to a "T". Not sure what else to do. Good try though. Maybe it's just my phone. FRI i'm running the CM6 finished ROM.

I can also confirm it is working on Fresh 3.2. I had to uninstall the Flash that came with Fresh 3.2 then downloaded the one from the market. Then I followed your instructions and it worked like a charm.

How exactly do you get the videos in landscape mode though?

Edit: scratch that last question I got landscape mode but mine is also pushed over to the right. I am using Fresh Evo 3.2 with nothing else.

About the only thing I can think of is try dragging the screen to the right. I've never had this issue and I've had this for a week now. You could try ava's hulu or the one from the hulu swype form

What is step 6d saying to do? do I type mount /system in adb shell? I don't see anywhere to input that on the phone once I'm in Recovery mode. I'm on the Amon Ra Recovery

Edit: If you're unable to get Titanium Backup to uninstall. If you uninstall the updates to flash in the market, then go to Titanium Backup, it'll uninstall.

Edit: Nope, this method didn't work.

Edit: LOL it work you just have to install flash with Astro after.

Same here.

Edit: to get full screen, hold down on the flash video to get a popup that will put you into full screen mode. But I am also experiencing the issue with the video being pushed to the right in full screen mode.
