My galaxy tab is one with the unlocked bootloader, but I haven't rooted it yet. 16 gig version from best buy, metallic grey.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] ehosteda:
I think you can tell when you power on the device. If yours is unlocked there should be an unlocked icon on the bottom of the screen where it says Galaxy Tab.

not working

32gb white, unlocked and not rooted
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] verusevo:
so whos gonna "fix" the newly released Hulu+ andoid app to work on the gakaxy tab?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] sicwan:
Can't seem to redownload the apk anyone else have this issue?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] katlimaal:
Finally figured out, how to get Hulu working on 16Gb retail unlocked and unrooted.

Here are the instructions for everyone else:

Browser Setup:

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

1: Open browser and type about:debug in the browser and hit enter

2: Open settings and go to debug option

3: change ua striang to desktop

Flash Setup:

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

1: uninstall flash if installed

2. Install Flash from market.

3. Search google and play a flash video for few seconds.

4. Uninstall Flash (this is the one from Market)

**Most important Don't kill the browser, just press the "Home" button.

5. Install BRDizzled version for Flash 10.3.185.22 optimized for tegra hardware acceleration

6: Open browser again and check if you are able to play the same video again(which you watched in Step3 above).

7: Most probably it's yes for Step6, now go to Hulu and enjoy.

*** I think if you kill the browser or restart the Tab then you have to do these steps again as this is not a permanent fix.(But something is better than nothing :) )
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] curbinati:
I tried exactly this on a retail-unlocked 10.1 (32GB, white) that is NOT rooted and it didn't work. I think I need to be talked off the ledge -- I'm contemplating returning the device for iEvil. I love the GT10.1 hardware (except for the lack of uSD slot) and I love the OS. In fact I bought the unit after having such great success and enjoyment of rooting and flashing my Nook Color with CM7. I was able to get Dolphin HD to watch Hulu content and I was able to get Netflix to work on it.

I'm disappointed so far with the GT10.1 not having a "fix" for Hulu, Netflix or HBO Go. Please tell me to take a deep breadth and learn to embrace being an early adopter. Man, I really want at least the video experience I get from my rooted, CM7-flashed NC.

Cheers,

Carl

^that method does indeed work! however, the hulu performance is quite choppy. oh, well.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Roadk1ng:
Ya Hulu would be nice but there are many other ways to stream videos. As for hBO go it works if you set browser up correctly and entr through Verizon site :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jlbusch:
Sorry to thread jack a bit but when I enter HBOGo (via Comcast) it asks me to either update my player or to use silverlight, none of the videos I've tried so far plays via flash...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Jnn1:
I can confirm this works, but as the OP said, only while you don't reboot.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] judicious:
i put in about:debug, and i don't see anything coming up..no other options in top right either..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] used2hvatreo:
nothing pops up, just open the menu in the top right and go to settings again, there will be a couple of extra things there now, one of which is UASTRING
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] kirdroid:
After entering about :debug, Click the menu button on top right corner and click settings.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] piperp:
Thanks! This works perfectly for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] katlimaal:
I think this is better solution than the previous one I posted.

Attached is the modified "libflashplayer.so", in which I modified the "AND" (keyword for android) to "WIN".

This libflashplayer.so is based on the latest Adobe Flash from Market as of 6/26/2011.

Steps

---------

1) Uninstall the flash from the G tab

2) Install the latest flash from Market.

3) adb shell

4) su

5) cd /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib

6) mv libflashplayer.so libflashplayer.so.bak

Now unzip the attached file on your PC, after unzipping you will see file "libflashplayer.so".

Move the file to your /sdcard and then using "Root explorer" just copy this file from "/sdcard" to "/data/data/com.adobe.flsahplayer/lib/"

Then change the permission of this file to "755" (rwxr-xr-x).

Now just restart your G Tab and now Hulu should work without any issue (You should have dolphin or any other browser settings for plugins etc).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] dwa012:
Followed the instructions and it WORKED for me.

Unlocked and rooted 32gb white.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] brewski30:
Worked for me as well. Used root explorer and archidroid to unzip the 7zip file. Thanks a million for your help.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] anilkuj:
Post #65 worked for me after trying everything on the OP , the only catch is

when i play the video It says that i have some ad blocking software which will prevent the video from playing . i uninstalled Adfree and rebooted my tab still getting the same message.

anyone has any clue how to get past that message ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] katlimaal:
Which browser you are using ?

Use Dolphin if not and set the options "plugins=always" and "mode = desktop"
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] katlimaal:
Did you follow the steps in Post #65 or the older post ?

Try uninstalling the flash, reboot GTab, then install flash from Market and then perform the copying/moving over the new "libflashplayer.so" file(attached in Post #65) and then reboot the GTab again.

** Make sure the permissions on the file "libflashplayer.so" are set correctly.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Framedtrash:
this worked perfect for me

didnt need to buy root explorer just downloaded the free ES FILE EXPLORER from the market then just jus turned on the root support in the settings

i didnt need to change any permissions just rename the old file and copy across the new file

hulu is working great
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jamal@Access:
so you clicked "root options" in file explorer >>> check the box >>click yes then it ask to select a rom - which one did you choose cyanogen mod or HiAPK?

I don't have neither installed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] MyRCode:
Works for me in Dolphin with the above settings. Doesn't work at all in the stock browser.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jamal@Access:
so your saying you did nothing but use Dolphin with the above settings?

didn't have to use the attached zip or push anything to your tab?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] MyRCode:
Sorry...I guess I that was a little unclear.

I pushed the attached zip to my tablet, then tried it in the stock browser.

Hulu on the stock browser gave me an error message saying that my device was unsupported.

Switched to Dolphin Browser HD with those settings and it works just fine.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] webbstar842:
Awesome!

Followed directions above w/ unlocked, 32gb unrooted device. Confirmed hulu working (choppy at very start of videos, but then plays fine after a few secs)...AND...confirmed working now w/ HBOGO, getting full HD quality baby!! WOOT! Thanks a bunch man!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] webbstar842:
Again, I didn't follow post #65, but the one katlimaal posted before it due to the fact my device is not rooted (thus, I was unable to get into /data in root explorer)...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Framedtrash:
You can select either they both work they dont need to be installd u just need to have root
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] katlimaal:
MYRCode

For stock browser, just set the plugins settings to "Always On" , by going into settings (using about:debug). Then it shoudl work in stock browser also.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] hoodoomagic:
Hulu works fine with stock browser for me as well. Just set the user agent to desktop. I have plugin's set to on-demand as well with no problems.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] zedomax:
Works well!

Works well, except you gotta uninstall and install everytime you reboot, THANKS!

My Tab 10.1 working hulu:

[YOUTUBE]va0NPJtSiNo[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] katlimaal:
zedomax,

If you follow the procedure in Post #65, then you don't have to uninstall/install everytime you reboot your TAB
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] hoodoomagic:
Are you using the method in post #65? You shouldn't have to re-install anything after a reboot.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] joeski27:
I can confirm that that method worked for me as well; again to reiterate, in that method you are not using the Bigrushdog-modified Flash apk, you are just using the regular Market apk, then doing a swap of one of the internal files in that app, as provided by the member in post #65. And again it is absolutely critical that you change the permissions for that file to read, write and execute, followed by a reboot of the tab. :cool:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] joeski27:
Sounds like your problem is not with the hulu fix but rather with the desktop ua (about:debug) tweak. The key to that is that after you change your UA preference to desktop, you must back out from that menu to the browser, then place your curser back in the address line where "about:debug" is, and then hit enter. That will basically close you out of the about:debug session, and by doing so will lock in your desktop UA preference and maintain it even through reboots.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] moretech:
In order to make this Hulu fix work i'm guessing I need to be rooted??

Steps

---------

1) Uninstall the flash from the G tab

2) Install the latest flash from Market.

3) adb shell

4) su

5) cd /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib

6) mv libflashplayer.so libflashplayer.so.bak

Now unzip the attached file on your PC, after unzipping you will see file "libflashplayer.so".

Move the file to your /sdcard and then using "Root explorer" just copy this file from "/sdcard" to "/data/data/com.adobe.flsahplayer/lib/"

Then change the permission of this file to "755" (rwxr-xr-x).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] katlimaal:
Yes you have to be rooted, as you have to replace on of library file for flash.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] GraemeCR:
Here's a slight variation on the the above that worked for me....

Re-name the unzipped <libflashplayer.so> to <libflashplayer.so.new>

Copy file to GTab 10.1.

Use Root Explorer and Move (or Copy) <libflashplayer.so.new> to the adobe lib folder described.

Re-name <libflashplayer.so> to <libflashplayer.so.bak>

Re-name <libflashplayer.so.new> to <libflashplayer.so>

Duplicate "Permissions" (long press on file name) from original file.....

Read.......(ALL checked)

Write.......(Only "OWNER" checked)

Execute...(ALL checked)

Special....(NONE checked)

Reboot device.

With Doplhin Browser, Setup Wizard gets you (eventually) to User Agent.

With Default Browser you need to be in USB debugging Mode for "about:debug" to enable UAString settings change.

Hulu is ruining their brand

All of this trickery is just ridiculous. Hulu not supporting mobile devices (without a paid app) is a joke. It plays advertisements just the same, I'm even trying to use my tablet at home to watch Hulu, I just don't see the point in their asinine decision. :mad:

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] thatdude90210:
Should work just by applying the same method: file from post #65, and the instructions from GraemeCR. I Have the same Calk TW version and hulu is working fine. Might need to go into browser settings and set "enable plug-ins" to always on. I'm not sure but the default may have changed there from always on in the old firmware to off in the TW ROM.

And I also added the browser user agent from DocRambone:

I regretfully report that the instructions from posts #1, #55, and #65 did nothing for me. I followed the directions to a T. THe error message after performing method #1 and #55 both say I need to upgrade to a Flash version greater than 10.0.0something. The mod'd flash version I applied is 10.3.something. #65 won't work for me because I am unrooted. I don't believe that I am unlocked either, as I purchased from Staples and have no unlock icon during boot.

Post #65 worked like a champ for me - the only difference was I didn't use abd - I used terminal emulator on the tab itself to run the commands and androzip to unzip the 7z file - I didn't need a computer at all.

btw - to change permissions on the file (and the ownership) you need to run the following commands:

chown system.system libflashplayer.so

chmod 755 libflashplayer.so

No worries. As long as you re-push the patched libflashplayer.so to data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib after the update and reboot all will be fine. Hulu works well just as before. :-)

Cool, thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] njfoses:
Havent updated yet as reading the initial post states the file was based on the current flash on the market. Seems like there would have to be a new version based on the new flash. Not trying to dispute what you are stating but i remember in the evo forums everytime a new flash version came out a new hack had to be produced. Anybody else care to chime in?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] thatdude90210:
I did it just last night. Got the flash update in the market, and then put that file back into that spot. Flash is running normal and hulu works fine. I kept a copy of that file under sdcard folder.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] njfoses:
Just curious when you copy the file over are you reverting flash back to the older version since your using a file from an older version of flash?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] notfaded1:
I think when updating flash many files get updated including libflashplayer.so so after the update you have to re overwrite the libflashplayer.so file with I known good working modded libflashplayer.so to get hulu working again. Also make sure you chmod 755 libflashplayer.so if it's permissions changed somehow. This way you get new flash version with modded libflashplayer.so back in place.

then open web browser type in about:debug

then open settings under web browser and reset it so display as desktop.

Was working perfectly before this latest 10.3 update. Actually updated because I saw the availability of the new libflashplayer.so file.

Same thing happening on my Nook color, where Hulu doesn't work on Opera mobile but works with Dolphin HD. Both are set to desktop as user agent. So is Hulu detect the browser also? I haven't tried another browser on the GTab 10.1 but I guess that's next.

Flashplayer

When I got my tab there was a flash player installed but it was a rudimentary version you will probably have to update the flash player with out uninstalling the stock one.

Well if you are having troubles uninstalling your flash player. I would recommend that you go to the android market and just update your flash player to the most recent version. Then use the libflashplayer.so file i uploaded. I am certain it works. But If not try the second one mentioned in this post.

ALso I checked the other libflashplayer.so file mentioned in this site. Both are the same exact file size. It it probably the same file
