Hulu and Flash 10.1

[unxconformed]

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

worked like a charm for me, however;
"Unfortunately Hulu is not supported on your platform. We apologize for any inconvenience."

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.

Good idea. I have titanium installed and got it root access, now how do I use it to remove and install apps, lol

can you give any insight how to get titanium root access would be much appreciated

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...

The only thing I wanted it for right now was to use Titanium Backup to restore my apps w/data from my G1.

 

[k0shi]

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

Yeah, all of the apps and the relevant settings. TB is great that way. I often used to restore between rom flashes on my G1.
