Rename the file extension to .so and you are good to go. So change "text" to "so" and place in the proper directory.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pinhead875:
Downloaded the text file, renamed to so, moved to lib folder after download of flash 10.2. Doesn't work for me. Even rebooted phone. Any thoughts?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] necosino:
Working with Boat Browser. Just set User Agent to Desktop and it plays flawlessly over Wifi.

Thanks a ton!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] omg.beav:
Mine didn't work at first on the stock browser (Android device prompt), but after I did this it worked fine -

Enter in your browser address window

about:debug

Then hit 'menu' and 'more' and 'settings'

Unclick 'Mobile view'

Hit the back button

After that it worked for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] simms22:
thanks! working on my nexus s and nexus one also :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Upstreammiami:
Video wont play
[Thunderbolt Android Development] theoneownz:
Zoom in instead of trying to auto full screen it
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mikeyinid:
It works. Install this apk
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Upstreammiami:
The point is for it to work in the browser not hulu.apk
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PJnc284:
It works for me in Dolphin HD if I set Enable Plug-Ins to Always instead of On Demand.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mikeyinid:
Ok...My bad. I couldnt get it to play in the browser even with the .so

Thought I was being super smart :/

**Can someone enlighten me about the beneifit of watching in the browser as opposed to the app?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] imneveral0ne:
It looks alot better in the app. unfortunatly i cant get an apk or a zip to make the installation of this any easier. the instructions in my post do work though. thats exactly what i did. if someone happens to make one from the files and gets them to work i will gladly update the first post and give credit.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kuribox:
thanks! works GREAT! on Dolphin HD v.4.5.0 with User Agent, "Desktop" and Enable plug-ins "Always on"
[Thunderbolt Android Development] klisp:
Thanks it worked. Had to rename the txt file to .so instead of .txt

Then had to make sure the default internet app on the tb was set to mobile view "off". Then it worked. Thing is...I had to enable WiFi too. Is that normal?

OP updated with an apk that includes Flash 10.2 with working Hulu.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dan0matic:
So now the whole process can be done by installing the new .apk?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Florynce:
Like someone else said before me, I couldn't get it to work because it was still saying I was using an android. All I had to do was hit Menu>More>Settings and uncheck Mobile View. Refresh the page and it works. Thanks a lot!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] imneveral0ne:
Yes, thats what i did on my latest try and it worked. let me know if it works as well for you.

And just one more time cause i cant say it enough. dont anyone update flash or else it will break hulu!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] engagedtosmile:
Not able to install the apk. File not found when I try to do it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JonKyu:
I tried to install the apk on the first post but my stock browser just closes when i try to play an episode. I don't get any force close warning it just exits itself?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] psufan5:
still loads the hulu ads, but never plays the show i wanna watch. oh well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] imneveral0ne:
that is weird. i wiped and installed flash 2.2, made sure auto update was turned off, flashed my apk, made sure my browser was set to desktop, and hulu works fine for me over LTE.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JonKyu:
Finally got it to work, I don't know what the deal is with the apk in the original one it wouldn't let me install over my flash file so I just did it manually with the .so file, changed the permission in root explorer and now everything works! Thanks so much for this!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] httr_:
Couldn't get the .apk attached in the OP to work.

Downloading the .so file now.

As an aside.

Has anyone been able to get ESPN3.com remote access working?

When I go there and click on remote access, I get the popup to choose my ISP, but the dropdown menu seems virtually unclickable.

Can someone else try this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] httr_:
Changed permission to what?

Can I just download this .so on my pc and then put the TBolt in disk mode and move it to the right directory like that?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pinhead875:
This is working on Miren Browser :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] otto888:
:\ Trying to install on Stock Debloat,and after installing the APK, flash is gone,and I have to revert back to the stock APK. Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pinhead875:
Read the OP again, there's an APK attached with Flash/Hulu.

Uninstall any version of Flash before you install the one in the OP.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] otto888:
I did. Still "removes" flash...do I need to remove Flash Lite HTC included?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] httr_:
Tried both ways and no luck. Not sure what I am doing wrong?

Anyone try ESPN3.com yet?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bradw516:
Worked for me, but the video is veeeeery laggy, not worth it right now
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ddukes76:
I dloaded 10.2, and installed. Put the .so after renaming it in the data/data/.... Folder overwrote what was there. Closed out, tried Hulu on stock browser, says im running android, its a no go here, any other ideas?

Edit: Duh...if i read all posts...lol when in browser, hit menu, more, settings, then uncheck mobile view,

Voila! Hulu hulu hulu.... Whoknew?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kuribox:
follow this, ... try with Dolphin HD v.4.5.0 with User Agent, "Desktop" and Enable plug-ins "Always on"

if you get the message with error just click ok and wait or refresh the page
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ddukes76:
Tried dolphin hd browser, as per ur instructions, it starts to play then a warning pops up saying not optimized for my device. :(

EDIT: Fixed upon restart of browser.... Thanks bro
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MYxdaUSERNAME:
^ on 3G, 4G or wifi?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ddukes76:
Both 3g and wifi here, no 4g here yet....hohum...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pmazz850:
Does youtube still work with this mod?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] imneveral0ne:
yes, it works fine.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] zipkicker:
So I installed using the combo apk, do I just goto hulu.com now or is it supposed to install an app for hulu?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] imneveral0ne:
the apk does not install the hulu app. this is so you can use the website to view the page. just make sure your browser is not set to mobile or else it will not work. browser settings are at the bottom of the first page.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jrocker23:
Thank you, works great...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] zipkicker:
Great, that's what I do, works great in that case :-)

Thanks for the hard work guys!

[Thunderbolt Android Development] DNak206:
I've already got 10.2 Flash native on my stock TB, so I assume I can take the .txt file, rename, overwrite, etc.

Am I correct in assuming all this essentially does is trick the browser into thinking it's a desktop and not a mobile? If this is the case, why would netflix or any other streaming sites be diff?

Note: Shoot, you need to be rooted for this? Astro won't allow me to access the directory you mentioned and both ADB/Root Explorer appear to require root, shucks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] imneveral0ne:
it actually tricks hulu specificly into thinking its a desktop actually. since there is already a way to make your browser into making it think its a desktop in the browser options.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DNak206:
Nice, well couldn't netflix be tricked in the same way? I've been a big fan of Skyfire since my WINMO days and with an LTE device, was really hoping to have full access to all streaming sites. Apparently Netflix is using silverlight now, couldn't find a way around it. :(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Gunnarsaxon:
Can't find "com.adobe..." in the /data/data folder... Used adb to push the file.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pinhead875:
Did you install the Flash apk from the OP?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Gunnarsaxon:
Yes.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Exeodus:
I downloaded flash 10.2, then the .so file, setup dolphin HD user agent to desktop, and tells me device is not supported.

Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] imneveral0ne:
well if the .so file method isn't working for you then i would use the attached apk.

I used the .so method when i first did it, but i have since done a wipe and installed the apk to make sure that it worked so the apk definitely works if you can't get the first method to work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] teslafied:
I have the same issue as 'runhopskipjump'. I'd prefer not to have to just zoom in to my web page. Full screen is a much nicer and proper viewing method. Does anyone know if it's possible to adjust the offset to it's centered?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] roland boyd:
hulu?

what rom is everybody running to make this work? Ive tried several times to make hulu work (thru the instructions on the OP) and still no dice...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sammyboy405:
I've tried this on 2 different ROMs and as soon as it starts playing it locks smooth up and is super jerky for the little bit it does play.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Exeodus:
Does the apk have to moved into the lib directory or can it be executed from the download directory?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bunklung:
APK says failed to install. I tried to uninstall 10.2 and run the apk, same message. Any tips?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fishtank:
I'm using The Perfect Storm ROM and it's working. Only thing it would not do is play the advertisement when you load up.

I downloaded the apk. It will appear as .bin file on your sdcard. I just rename it and make sure the extension is apk. I install it without any issue.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mecampo:
i have this working using stock internet browser but does anyone have a flashable hulu app or apk?

thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ddukes76:
I second that...pretty please...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mseliga:
There is a customized flash.apk on the first page ish. There is no Hulu app, you have to got through the site.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mecampo:
there is one but for the 10.1 flash player :(, thanks anyways
[Thunderbolt Android Development] imneveral0ne:
i have a hulu app apk, but it only shows half the screen so its not very usefull :-\
[Thunderbolt Android Development] engagedtosmile:
http://www.hulu.com/widget/player

That is all that app is, is that website. Make a shortcut to it or something. Same exact thing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mischiefse7en:
when i try to download the .apk, my phone says *the content is not supported on the phone. no application can be found to open this file. do you still want to download it?* but i downloaded it anyway...

I went to astro and its downloaded as .bin and says "file type not found" when i press it. whats the next step after the download?

What am i doing wrong here?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ilikecupcake(s):
Great work on the work around! Running flawlessly!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ilikecupcake(s):
I had the same issue but when I downloaded from dolphin browser with agent set to desktop it downloaded with no problem!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mischiefse7en:
ok, i figured out the previous problem, but it wont install. hit upgrade, says installing, then stops and says *application not installed*
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bunklung:
If I installed the apk via Astro, I got the same message as mischiefse7en. If I downloaded the apk from gmail, it would try to install the apk, but say it failed to install. This is with me uninstalling 10.2 and/or unchecking "automatic update".

SO.... Since I don't have Root Explorer, I went the ADB method. I'm no expert (I seem to be saying that very often), but this is the commands I issued to get Hulu working:

I take ZERO responsability if you blow up your phone. Use these instructions and commands at your own risk.

Install 10.2 from the market.

Uncheck "automatic updates" within Flash 10.2.

Make certain you have ADB installed and working from your rooting process.

Put the libflashplayer.so file in your ADB directory.

Open a command prompt and navigate to your platform-tools directory where ADB and libflashplayer.so is located.

Type:

adb devices

Make certain your Thunderbolt is listed as active.

Type:

adb shell
/data/local/psneuter

You should get booted out of the shell.

Type:

adb push libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/

It may take 5-10 seconds to transfer the file. You should see some sort of file transfer complete message.

I suggest rebooting your phone at this point. I don't know enough about psneuter to suggest to leave that shell running.

And obviously make certain you uncheck "Mobile view" within your browser.

My impressions:

Don't expect great frame rates. I get smooth frame rates on Youtube 480p, but 360p in Hulu is a bit choppy. I think the ads actually play much smoother.

Having said that, great job to the folks who made this work-around. I am very excited when the Thunderbolt can play Flash videos with using it's hardware accelerated decoder for better battery life and much smoother frames rates.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MYxdaUSERNAME:
hm, the .so isnt working for me, flash uninstalls after reboot, gonna try the apk in the OP..

just a heads up, the apk attached in the OP downloads as .bin on the phone because of its name I think...rename it flashhulu.apk or something like that and it should work fine for people browsing on a phone..

edit - apk from op worked fine, hulu looks great with the overclocked rom...thanks for posting!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dxun:
Interesting. I install the apk from the op and nothing appears in my app draw. Should I have shortcuts for hulu and flash?

Sent from a Bolt of Lightning
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MYxdaUSERNAME:
nothing shows up in the app drawer...but the apk or whatever it is, doesnt stay installed. i have to re-install every time i reboot...or just when I'm gonna use it which isnt often..no biggie to me, but i dont know why it uninstalls..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dxun:
So how do you start hulu if it's not in the app draw? Mine will start through my browser but it's horrible.

Sent from a Bolt of Lightning
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djcyph:
when i try to install the apk via SuperManager i hit install and it goes through process and then says "Application Not Installed"

any thoughts? i have auto-update unchecked...will try the .so method now

update: got it working by just putting the .so file where OP said..

its just a little hard to navigate play, pause sometimes doesnt work and sometimes coming out of pause on video no sound

im assuming this will work on other phones as well, like incredible, is that correct?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CBMC:
I searched for flash in root explorer. I deleted anything to do with flash. I then restarted and was able to install flash through the

market.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] imneveral0ne:
yes this is correct
[Thunderbolt Android Development] imneveral0ne:
i dont know why. I havent had the uninstall problems. mine stays with me after reboots.

Delete flash + hulu .apk from system and install flash from market. That's what worked on BAMF for me watched some family guy at work today..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] imneveral0ne:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Starcruiser1229:
So, basically working here:

I could not get the .apk to install, but installing the flash player from the market and then copying the file worked fine. (rooted stock rom).

I am in an area with no 4g coverage - playback on wifi is great, 3g works but lots of buffering - basically unwatchable.

The ads are not loading for me - oh well!

Is anyone else having problems with the hulu app? the version in the first post runs but the picture goes off the screen in fullscreen mode - I don't really need it, just not sure if I am the only one having problems...?

Thanks so much for the Hulu support - awesome!

Patrick

This didnt work for me either. I took a chance and used my Old Hulu.APK file I grabbed when I had my Fascinate. I loaded that and then Loaded the Flash download file. I never had to use the other file.

On gingerbread, the com.adobe.flash.apk in the data/app folder automatically restore the com.adobe.flash libs. You have to redo the hack every time you restart.

The solution to this would theoretically be to make an adobe flash apk with the hex edited libflashplayer.so and without the libstagefright-froyo.so and libstagefright-honeycomb.so files. I've no experience with modifying meta info and signing apks properly. :(

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jrocker23:
rename the file extention to .so

It should not be downloading as a bin. Also make sure when you rename it not to have it look like .so.bin just should be .so at the end

I couldn't install the apk. What i did was rename the apk to zip, unzip the contents of lib/armeabi-v7a/ to sdcard on a folder called hulu(i made a folder called hulu in the sdcard root directory) and move the files to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib

through terminal emulator

$ su

# cd /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib

# rm *

# cd /mnt/sdcard/hulu

# cp * /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib

works perfectly on dolphin HD browser and streams flawlessly if i set it to 288 resolution.
