[APP] Hulu Plus - WORKING! - Captivate Themes and Apps

Follow these steps to get Hulu Plus working:
1. Delete any copy of Hulu Plus from your phone.
2. Download the file from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19377222&postcount=7
3. Extract the 3 files into your TitaniumBackup folder.
4. Restore Hulu Plus from Titanium Backup using App+Data.
Thank derek4484 for providing the files since Rootzwiki did not host it anymore and thank him in his post too.
Note: In order to use Hulu Plus, disable ad blocking using AdFree or any other similar app.

This would complete the Captivate

any updates? Anyone found a workaround to get hulu plus app to work on the captivate?
Sheb

This needs to be done already

If you are rooted just find a titanium back up of the app ( it is somewhere in this forum) and back it up. Worked for me and I do believe it is the only work around. The hulu app checks for compatibility in a different manner then Netflix did. Netflix was easy to fool

Do you mind attaching the TiBu backup for the Hulu Plus app since it doesn't seem to be available on Rootzwiki anymore.

I found the Hulu Plus backup and restored it with titanium backup, but it still didnt work. As soon as I started Hulu plus a big red/white error window popped up and said device not supported.
Edit: OK I only restored App from Titanium Backup. Once I restored App+Data it works great.
Just extract the three files within this to your titanium backup folder on the SD card, go into titanium backup and restore app+data. Should work.

Nice!!! I just tried this out and it works great. I havent found any bugs yet but will update if I do. Finally Hulu Plus for Captivate!
Edit: Ok I have a bad wireless and 3g connection at my house but after the advertisement loads I can't get the video to play even when adjusted to low quality. It says your network appears to have problems. Let me know if its working for you and I'll try again on my campus wireless tomorrow and when I have better 3g service.

Hulu +
Worked!!! Awesome! Tx.:d

Can either of you all confirm that you are able to stream video? I still can't get past the advertisement screen.

This is probably because you are blocking ads via your /etc/hosts file. If you are using any non-stock ROM this is probably true. This interferes with Hulu's ads and prevents it from continuing. If you download and install the "AdFree" from the market then use it to revert to the non-blocking hosts file, then Hulu should work. When you are done watching, you can run AdFree again to reblock ads (if you want).

I've been using ad free and trying to revert my host file but I still can't get past the ad screen. Any way I can do this manually or other possible solutions?
Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Andromeda³

Well, you can look at the file /etc/hosts, if it has been successfully reverted then it should just be one line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
You can probably do this manually if you use root explorer (or equivalent) to make the file writable.
This works for me great with WiFi, but hit and miss on 3G, depending on signal strength.

I checked the host file and it has been reverted. Still running into problems though. I get to the screen of Ad: Your video will resume soon but under loading circle and buffering it says: It appears you are having network issues. Please wait, or try again later.
Im going to mess around with clearing data on things today and see what happens.

Works great. Now does anyone know how to get around the 8 bucks a month you gotta pay to use it

Please can someone help me with this issue?! My sister have a Samsung Vibrant and after one whole night, I finally rooted her phone with Superoneclick just to help her install Hulu Plus on it. I got the app working but like so many others, I am stuck on the buffering screen!
I've tried the AdFree method of reverting my host file, rebooted, but still no go. I've tried uninstalling AdFree, rebooting. No go. I've tried booting into recovery mode to clear cache but no go. I've installed ES File Explorer to manually view my Host file and it is empty except for the 127.0.0.1 line. I am literally pulling my hair out.
Is there any other way to unblock ads on the phone to get Hulu Plus working? Is there like some sort of secret cache that I'm suppose to clear using a secret utility I don't know of? Please I need help!

I was never able to get it working on my phone either. I'm convinced it won't work on froyo based roms. I get the same issue with it never being able to get past the buffering screen even with a clean host file. If you are ever able to get it to work on a 2.2 ROM let me know.
Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Andromeda³

Thanks for the quick reply. Sucks for you to hear this but at least I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem. I'm regretting ever telling my sister to get an Android phone. This is so ridiculous, although I understand this is not exactly the operating system's fault.
I'm about to give up on getting this thing to work on her phone. It's madness.

[Q] Grooveshark force closes?

So I love grooveshark on my droid 1 great for building my own play list and for listening to any song at any time without having to wait for it to download or to be played on pandora or last fm or anything like that, Installed it on my gtab running vegan 3 and it keeps force closing everytime i go to login to it, has anyone else been able to get this program up and running without it force closing? this is the only app i've had problems with since getting my gtab for xmas this past sat.
Not sure what the issue is, but I'm having the same problem on TnT lite 3.1.3. Total bummer... what a great app.
Got Grooveshark app working on my GTab!
With the recent update of Grooveshark to v2.2.1, I'm now able to launch the app without any FC's! However, it would still not allow me to login, stating that it was receiving a connection error even though I verified that I had a good Wifi connection.
I have Grooveshark v2.2.1 successfully running on my N1 so I just backed it up with Titanium Backup and transferred it over to my GTab. I restored with 'Data only' and now Grooveshark launches and logs in successfully on my GTab! (I'm running TnT Lite 4.1.0)
I'm listening to one of my playlists right now and it sounds great! All the app functionality seems to work just fine, in fact I think the the app's UI works really well in landscape on the tablet.

Damn i gotta try this, thanks.
Edit: Thanks so much worked like a charm!!!
Thanks for the tip on restore of data. It worked like a charm. I had to do a fresh install and then take the data off of my fascinate with titanium and do a data only restore...presto....
Thanks guys
\oo/
I'm a noob, but how do you transfer over the TI backup of Grooveshark from my Vibrant to install on my Gtab to get Grooveshark to work? If you can give me some direction i'd appreciate it.

Its easiest if you have dropbox on both devices, just go to where the TI backup is stored normally its 3 files and move them into the dropbox or onto a computer, and than either hook the gtab up to the computer and move files to the TI backup folder for grooveshark replacing the old files, or do it from dropbox just download the 3 files from dropbox on your tablet and than move them into the TI grooveshark backup folder replacing the old 3 files.
The 3 files on your droid should be in sdcard/titaniumbackup/ with the 3 file extensions being .properties .apk.gz and tar.gz take all three of those files and put them onto your tablet replacing the 3 files that are in that location on the tab and than running the restore on the tablet from titanium and voila!
Thanks for the help, I forgot my gtab at home, i'll give this a try when i get off from work.
I tried this method, pulled the 3 files from my Vibrant, replaced the files on Gtab, performed the "data only" restore and still received connection/login issues. I tried a fresh install of Grooveshark on the Gtab, backed up with TI, then copied the Vibrant files over and still same result?
Not sure where I am going wrong on this? Any one got any other tips?
Slightly OT, but I get FC on the Grooveshark app so thought about going straight to the web site.
When I try to use listen.grooveshark.com I get a Problem Loading Flash error
listen.grooveshark.com is the only site that does this.
Does this happen to anyone else?
Anyone have an update on this? I have latest Vegan Beta 5.1.1 and I can open Grooveshark but no song plays. It just keeps skipping. I have tried restoring as mentioned in the previous posts and this did not fix my issue. When I restore from Titainum it just crashes as soon as I try to open it. I tried restoring just data and also app+data and neither one worked. Does anyone have any ideas?
Can someone post the three files? I cannot access those files to load on my G Tab...

The problem is that we are restoring our account from another device. In order for this to work for you, someone would have to login to their device with your account and then upload that for you to restore with. You could do this but I would recommend for you to change your password. Then you would have to send a pm in order to not publicly post a password.
Edit:
Here is a link to the files without an account attached to it. Try it out. I don't know if it will work though.

This slightly OT, but I have been testing an app called Tinyshark - so far so good.
I have been getting mixed results with Tinyshark. Sometimes it works, but often it won't play any of my music. Anyone having the same issue? Any fixes for this?

YOUtube install?

I know that this has been covered but this is slightly different. My YouTube stopped.working last night, I assume for the same reason as many. I tried to uninstall and reinstall with no success. Now I have deleted all of the YouTubes from my NC, how do I reinstall it and which directory? This is where I am lost. I just want my YouTube back
Sent from my nootered nook using XDA App
I had a similar issue. I just ran the attached .apk via ES File Explorer and I was back in business.
I had that issue during the week too. I went to NC portal and grabbed the signed youtube apk for the nookie froyo and that worked for me.
I will try this again. So what directly do I put the .apk in? system/app?
Last time I tried to run that it gave me a parsing error. Perhaps the file was corrupt.
I will give the above a go and report back.
It will not install. It acts like it is going to install, and then simply states on the screen "Application not installed" and a "Done" button.
How can I wipe out YouTube completely from the machine? I think it is conflicting with the install.
Its happened to me several titmes. Seems to be related to installing apks that play media files. Or maybe im just stupid and should quit messing with my device. Shrug.
Here's a method that has never let me down.
1. Backup youtube.apk using titanium backup. (Doesn't matter if youtube currently doesn't work.)
2. Reinstall ONLY the .apk from backup. Do not restore data!
Voila, now youtube works again.
You can just restore next time it acts fonky.
Sent from my Nookcolor using XDA App
I have no idea what "signed" YouTube app is, I use 'HQ YouTube' app as per discovery by one Roy Aguilera for EVO (see my blog fineoils.blogspot.com, down below, as it was posted on January 3). Later on, that discovery was observed working on Droids, so I tried it on my NookColor. Works fine for every YouTube HD 1080p movie/clip you can find there. Didn't work for my Pandigital Novel though (lol), as obviously its hardware overlay remains completely broken -- even on its CM6 beta.
HQ YouTube is reported as stopped working in Froyo though. I suspect "Stagefright" is the culprit, so anyone may try to play with it as I propose in my blog. This tweaking might even help to validate Nookie Froyo for Flash 10.1 -- who knows? I didn't try NF yet, and hopefully never will, as I consider A2.2 a mere bugfix job for A2.1 leaving too many bugs untouched for TI OMAP36xx (quite old) platform and adding "features" (like "Stagefright") to be fixed at A2.3.x level.
You could look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10648931&postcount=8 - worked for me.
I installed it just fine, I used TitaniumBackup to uninstall and then used the aforementioned apk to reinstall and it works fine. Now, I leave the application, and go back in ... same issue.
What is causing this break so that I dont have to do these steps every time I want to use YouTube?
Worked like a charm, thanks!
YouTube
the thing that works for me is to delete
/data/data/com.google.android.youtube/shared_prefs/youtube.xml
I use root explorer to delete file.
next time you restart youtube you just have to accept the eula.

[APP] Copy Apps to you VS GTAB with "Bluetooth File Transfer"

I just wanted to put this out there for anyone having trouble finding apps on the Market with their VS GTAB.
I found Bluetooth File Transfer by "Medevial Software" that allowed me to transfer most of the apps that I have on my Nexus One over to my GTAB.
The app has a nifty little function called "Send Applications" on the menu under the "more" tab.
Both devices have to have bluetooth on for this function to activate.
This app helped me to get apps over to my GTAB when I couldn't get to them from the Market (on the GTAB).
Some Apps on my N1 were locked so I could'nt move those but for the most part I was able to get a lot of apps on my GTAB that I was not able to get via normal channels.
You can also use the free version of dropbox and get apps from all your PC/phone/Gtab.
It's a cool little app/program. and you can share folders as well. But it is only via wifi, which is fine as my phone is rooted so I always have wifi.

I used Dropbox all the time it's pretty cool but I tried to see if I could get my apps from my N1 over to my GTAB with Dropbox but it didn't give me the option to send APKs like BTFT does.
BTFT will package the selected apps into individual APKs so you can install them easily after they are transfered to your device. Which is a big help because before I found BTFT I was moving apps over using Titanium Backup which had many steps to get the apps over and installed successfully. With BTFT those steps are greatly reduced.
Try it out.
Nice find, thank you sir.

I believe the default location for transfered apps is the main directory of the internal sdcard.
/mnt/sdcard
Just scroll to the bottom if you are using a file explorer like estrongs.
BTFS worked great for me! send a few apps to my boss' droid2!
Here is an easy way to transfer and sideload. Using a WiFi connection.
Download apk's to your pc, use ES File explorer to browse for apk on PC (Lan), copy to your "downloads" folder on sd (Local). Browse w/ ES File explorer to downloads , choose apk and install.
Been working like a charm for me
Edit; Sorry to post this here, since this thread relates to "BFT", meant to post on previous thread.

Using VEGAn 5.1 Beta with Pershoots Latest 2.6.32.29
It does work Nexus to VEGA, I just tried it out again using CM7 RC1 on my
Nexus w/Wildmonks 2.6.35.10. Transferred nine test apk's over just now as I typed this thread reply.
I'm not using the 5.1.1 supplement.
I was using stock kernel (I guess) from vegan, updating now to see how it goes...
NO GO! updated to latest pershoot
Weird, anyhow, no biggy since I have plenty of other way to transfer my apk, just very strange!

Hmmm? Don't have an answer for you. I remember having that same issue but all I did was make sure both devices were discoverable and making sure the ftp share service and opp receiving service were both enabled in settings for both devices. I don't know for sure that would be your fix though..
BTF
I had the problem before of getting an error message, but I installed Blue Tooth File Transfer on both devices and now it works fine. I have it on my Gtab, EPIC, Moment, and EVO and all works fine.
Wow, very cool. Thanks, worked great from N1.

[Q] Multitouch and Flash?

I was just browsing some files using Root Explorer to see what we might be able to do to get Multitouch working on the ZIO. In /system/etc/permissions directory I found a file called handheld_core_hardware.xml that when I open it up has information about permissions of the device hardware and then says this.
<!-- devices with multitouch must also include
android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml -->
<!-- devices with full multitouch must also include
android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct.xml -->
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've also found the applications currently installed on the phone in the /system/app directory that has every app on the phone, Maybe we can inject some files from another phone that have Multitouch and Flash working?
I know I'm not the only one that is currently scanning this phone for things that we can "exploit" to make it better. If anyone else can think of what we can do to get Multitouch and Flash to work go ahead and give us your input and we'll get this going.
don think flash will work nativaly becase it requires a arm7 proc and I think the Zio is an ARm6 based proc..... you can get flash running through skyfire browser from what I understand though...
as far as multitouch??? dunno you may be onto something!
I am determined to make this phone work better than CricKet is willing to make it work. I know it's not a high end device but cmon my old pentium 3 gateway that had a 600mhz processor could run flash. There has to be a way that we can spoof the processor to install flash if it only allows the arm7 or higher.
I dont know if you have Root Explorer but I would reccomend it for browsing the files on the phone. I would say it is worth the 4.03 USD or 2.50 EUR. That and Uninstaller for Root to remove the bloatware.
Multitouch could be a hardware issue as well. I know the zio has a substandard capacitive touchscreen -- maybe it doesnt support multitouch.
BUT, I could be completely wrong as I am making a hypothetical assumption.
I downloaded flash here: http://www.4shared.com/file/k6SycB0R/Adobe_Flash_Player_101_1016168.htm
I then dropped it into my SD card and installed it just fine on the new cricket 2.2.1 update. It seems to be working just fine, though it does sometimes kick me out of browser pages, so I just switch to Opera Mobile 10.1 and it works on that one much better.
Sweet, trying to get this working now.

Got it to install just fine on mine too, but it causes my stock browser to FC all the time, even when just trying to type in a web address. I will have to try this with another browser.
Kyocera originally stated when the phone launched that it supported multi touch. This phone is going to have to suppport multi touch in some way or another. Maybe we could contact Kyocera to find out exactly what hardware is in this phone?

hmm thats odd. I'll have to try this once I get my phone working again. I was messing with some cpu files then restarted my phone. well now I'm in a loop after the Kyocera logo. The cricket logo comes up and restarts from the cricket logo again. I'm currently working on getting it working again with adb and fastboot. I may end up using fastboot to flash the boot image and then run the update, it will then take me into the recovery just like it did the other day.

Check the market under productivity you should find the free equivalent.

Anyone have any problems with Appbrain.
I noticed with appbrain it doesn't reconize that I have the 2.2 installed on my phone. Anyone else having the same problem? I also posted a few questions on here about a few things I noticed my phone doing but never got a response back. Guess they weren't important questions or something.
Also was wondering about SELECT DEVICE ADMINISTRATORS in the settings/location & security. What is it and why is it empty if i'm the admin of my own phone???
Something else I feel really sucks that they did with this phone.
Why the hell did Kyocera have this phone where when you set a wallpaper you always have to crop the dam thing and cut half your pic off just to set it??
I think its bull**** concidering the resolution of the phone there would be no need to limit the size of the wallpaper you set. I feel it sucks ass totally cause no matter what size I make my wallpapers I always have to cut half the pic off to set it as a wallpaper on the phone.
That little resize box sucks!! Now it may be an app I have installed on the phone but i'm having the same BS problem when typing txt messages with the keyboard missing letters and the latter just the same as if i still had the 1.6 crap on it.
I'm starting to hate this stinking phone to a point i'm about to take my hammer to it.

I had the same problem. Anything I opened once I installed the flash just FC on me till i uninstalled it. I just installed Opera brower and i'm re-installing the Flash now, i'll reply back with what I get after its all done.
Well I installed Opera browser, Re-installed Flash player and Rebooted my phone. Once running I when to adobe.com to test the flash and in the content window it states: To view this experience, you need JavaScript enabled and the latest adobe flash player installed
I have opera and it works with flash installed. I haven't really seen flash working since installation. Tried using opera to go to YouTube but it opened the app rather than embedding in the browser.

With flashed installed I can't even goto appbrain app market without the never ending FC happening just as Appbrain begins to load. This sucks! I really don't want to spend half the day again reinstalling all my crap back to this phone. Its been a headache sence day 1 I had it till now. Seemed to run just fine leaving the thing alone aside trying to figure out what bloatware crap other then the 2 lousy games that comes with the phone.
By the way. The bloatware is mobile web, mybackup, uno, my account, storefront, midnight bowling, ziotop10apps, and you can remove home screen tips

I really don't remember Kyocera saying it was multitouch. I do remember some reviews of the phone saying that it was, but those are not associated with Kyocera, those are just some guys online giving their two cents on their blogs and websites.
On the actual Kyocera Zio website,for the Spring version with Froyo on it it states:
Display Specs: 3.5" 262K-color TFT LCD WVGA (480x800 pixels), capacitive touch screen navigation
Input: SWYPE - Fast and easy text input
Navigation: Track Ball navigation

It does not mention multitouch

[OBSOLETED][HOW TO] Run Hulu+ on Xoom

THIS THREAD IS NOW OBSOLETE - GO HERE FOR A MODDED APK THAT WORKS WITH THE XOOM
Known compatibility (not sure if this would change between roms, but I thought I'd include it):
Wifi Xoom with stock rom
Wifi Xoom with tiamat rom
Wifi Xoom with Eos nightlies
This method has been mentioned in a few other threads that discuss how to run hulu on our Xoom but I figured I would try to contribute with a bit of a guide for those that may need it. I take no credit for this method, its simply something I came across in numerous locations (including XDA and somewhere else for my Motorola Photon - same method works) and would like to consolidate the information for other Xoom owners.
On to the guide...
Root access is required for this method to work as well as Titanium Backup. If you do not have root access and do not want to root, you can use the hacked flash apk that allows you to watch hulu in a browser on your Xoom. This information can be found here.
1. You will need to first download this Zip Folder.
Inside you should find 3 files.
2. Take these files and move them to your Titanium Backup folder (where all the backups are stored). All three files need to be moved here.
3. Open Titanium Backup. Toggle on over to the Backup/restore tab and scroll toward the bottom. You should now see the HuluPlus app here.
4. Click on Hulu Plus and select Restore..
5. The key step! You must select App + Data. Selecting only App will result in Hulu+ being restored but upon opening, indicating that your device is not supported. Select App + Data!
And there you go. Open Hulu Plus and you can begin watching. Unfortunately this is a backup from a phone so it automatically switches to portrait mode and really isn't designed for tablets. If you have an app like Orientation Switch that can lock your orientation for you, you can set it to landscape for the time being and that will make things a bit better.
I know this may come across as a bit of a redundant thread, but I thought I'd try to contribute, as XDA has helped me out a lot. Also, if you could please provide feedback if it worked for you/didn't work for you that'd be great! Enjoy
Still not working for me

Can you elaborate please? What exactly is not working?
Basically have the same rooted set up as you do. I have uninstalled, downloaded, restored through Titanium several times and it loads but still says device not supported and I cant go any further. I do restore app+data. Any other thoughts?
Did you install the hulu APK (the normal way, sideloading it like any other apk) and then backup -> restore?
And are you running on stock honeycomb or Tiamat?
I did not side load apk.. I had originally downloaded apk and installed then I uninstalled and put files in Titanium backup folder and restored. I saw a few posts that said all you needed was the restore. I have Tiamat

OK so you must be my lucky charm. I shut it down and restart and it works like a champ. I'll let you know if I have any problems. Thanks
Awesome good to hear it worked!

To be clear does this mean you HAVE to watch it in landscape? Normally hulu wen you click play (on my Evo for example) automatically goes into landscape anyway and that's a "phone" so i am a bit confused by this statement. Or do you just mean the menus and stuff are portrait instead of landscape like they normally would be on a tablet.
THANKS!

Your last part is correct. When you open the app with normal orientation (nothing preventing it from rotating) it will switch to portrait mode just as it would on your phone. However, just as on your phone, it will switch to landscape to play video. The only part that looks bad in portrait really is the initial screen, as it leaves 70% of the screen empty. After that it looks alright. It might just be me as well, but the menu screens in landscape mode seem to not like to load the preview image.

This method has been mentioned in a few other threads that discuss how to run hulu on our Xoom but I figured I would try to contribute with a bit of a guide for those that may need it.

Thanks much.
I still get the "Device Not Supported" message
After a few restores of the app, its now working
Thanks much.
Did you happen to have a prior backup of the app or any instance of huluplus on your Xoom prior to trying the backup? I have tried this on my Xoom on a few different Roms with clean data and it works first time when I do it. Just trying to gauge why it doesn't work right away for some people
