Does the June 9th flash.apk update work for non-rooted phones now?

Previously it was said that the flash.apk file did not work for phones which were not rooted, referring to the custom modified one found on this thread.

but what about the newly built one as of June 9th, does that one also only work for phones which have been rooted, i'm hesitant about rooting my Nexus One; but I really want to watch hulu.com episodes without having to use the "hulu bookmark" app from the android market.

Another question:

does the flash.apk file allow you to view tv shows from abc.com ?

Please let me know, thanks !
[Nexus One General] fyid:
i can say that the new one also doesn't work if you're not rooted.

its just the stock flash app with a string change - does anyone know why it needs root?
[Nexus One General] cj1896:
Download unsuccesful. Is it working for anyone else? I tried 3 times
[Nexus One General] Zenoran:
hmm nice... not so gawdawful slow now... and manageable to get to work in fullscreen mode very nice!
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
Works for me. Good work, thanks.
[Nexus One General] slickromeo:
do TV episodes from abc.com work?

Does this flash.apk allow viewing of ABC.com TV shows?????
[Nexus One General] rcxquake:
Is the droid flash .apk different from the nexus one? Perhaps someone can post it, and I can compare or apply the fix and hand it back to see if it works?

As for WHY this does not work on unrooted phones - my only guess is that it has to do with the signing process. However, I simply don't understand it enough.
[Nexus One General] cj1896:
I am running bugless beast on droid and can confirm this doesn't work. I installed it using adb, root explorer to sys/app and then installed the apk, package installer from sd card and over wifi and 3g each time...no luck.View attachment com.adobe.flashplayer-2.apk

here's the droid apk
[Nexus One General] swallman67:
Does anyone have this working on a Moto Droid ? I am rooted and have Froyo installed (but not a custom FW).

I installed it but it seems as if the browser doesn't recognize it as being installed. I then uninstalled and installed the "non-fixed" version and it works fine on sites except for Hulu of course.
[Nexus One General] rcxquake:
Try this .apk

Remember to follow the steps in the first post of this fix, of course.

Let me know how it turns out please!

Also, I assume you are rooted, right?
[Nexus One General] donniesd:
Need to download from a Computer, not from the phone.
[Nexus One General] mjforte:
Nope still doesn't work for me.
[Nexus One General] tentious:
I'm also using rooted BB Froyo w/P3 OC 250-1100 kernel and cannot get this to work. Used adb to install. It installs sucessfully, but using browser, flash objects do not work. I get this error message when I visiting Hulu: "Hulu requires Flash Player 10.0.22 or Higher....."

Also, if I visit other sites: bbcnews, etc... the flash player doesn't get loaded.

Note: I was able to watch other flash sites just fine using the official flash player.

Thanks for your hard work on this!
[Nexus One General] swallman67:
Same issue here...it says it is installed but the browser doesn't appear to see it. Uninstalled and went back to the official build and that works fine (except on Hulu of course)...
[Nexus One General] foebea:
=! would mean 'equals.... NOT!! </borat>'

!= would mean 'not equal'
[Nexus One General] noisufnoc:
confirmed this by going to adobe's flash version page on my phone, does not show flash to be installed.
[Nexus One General] jhankinson:
I have a moto droid and I tried the new flash-droid-fixed.apk but flash still will not work with it. All of the flash sites say you need flash player installed. I installed with Astro (but it was successful and showed up in my apps when I went to manage apps through settings). I can push it to system if you think that would make a difference. The original flash for droid apk posted by cj1896 works fine for me when installed through astro (no hulu of course though). I'm on a rooted droid with blackdroid's latest froyo rom. Has anyone gotten the hulu fix to work on a droid?
[Nexus One General] tuffCookie:
Beta 3 (v10.1.72.7) was just released to the Market. waiting for an update now + working Hulu...hehe :cool:
[Nexus One General] xXJay_RXx:
damn droid users >=[
[Nexus One General] rcxquake:
Done.

In other news, I have experimented with different signing methods, but they aren't working and I am just too lazy to spend more time right now. It really doesn't make sense that it doesn't work on the droid - I literally just took the apk, changed the version string, signed it (using autosign :o) and uploaded again. If anyone can guess what it may be from, I am open to suggestions (other than signing method).
[Nexus One General] tuffCookie:
thanks for the updated apk rcxquake!
[Nexus One General] Adam B.:
The lastest version works on the Droid now!

Thanks!

Edit: Here's a quick apk that should give you working access to the mobile site with the version of flash in this thread. No need to change the useragent in the browser.

[Nexus One General] rcxquake:
Can anyone else confirm? (also, someone try it with their unrooted N1?)
[Nexus One General] mam4983:
Awesome, this works great for me. One question though, is there a way to make the screen not auto lock when hulu is running?
[Nexus One General] Adam B.:
Try this apk and let me know if that does it.

Seems to have done it! Thanks Adam.
[Nexus One General] bpm2000:
works great thanks
[Nexus One General] ryryryry87:
still doesnt work on my droid :(

all the fixed apk's do not work on my droid for any website (hulu or other flash sites) and the hulu app doesnt work (shows lego block where flash would be). but i did get flash working on my droid without the hulu fixes. all i want to do is watch hulu on my droid, hope someone can help us droid users out! :D
[Nexus One General] Almighty1:
I tried it on my rooted froyo DROID and it doesn't work. When I installed your fixed flash, browsing to flash sites including adobe's flash test makes it seem like the flash isn't installed so Adam's fix didn't work. When I installed the stock flash before you fixed it, flash works on other sites but with the hulu app from Adam, it didn't work either as hulu says "this video is not available".
[Nexus One General] rcxquake:
Thanks guys. I would have been really confused if droid suddenly did start working for no apparent reason.
[Nexus One General] fyid:
the latest version doesn't work on non-rooted n1 either.
[Nexus One General] Adam B.:
I'm running the latest Bugless Beast on my droid...Maybe something was fixed in it?

But Hulu is definitely working for me...
[Nexus One General] willverduzco:
Wonderful. The newest update plays hulu so smoothly!

Unfortunately this doesn't work on FRF72 (same problem Droid users had before where the browser didn't recognize it was installed), but this is so good, it is worth it for me to stay on FRF50.

EDIT: Sorry, I apparently lost root somehow. I regained root, and it works now on FRF72. Thank you for the awesome work.
[Nexus One General] uncola:
the latest version seems like it plays hulu videos at a lower framerate than the previous version. I have an n1 on frf 50 paul's version. anyone getting HIGHER framerates? one guy in the thread said "it plays so smoothly"
[Nexus One General] mario925:
GREAT

Hulu now works on my Motorola Droid
[Nexus One General] sprinkles:
hey guys,

just did some updates last night to my n1.

after i was done, i shot over to hulu to watch some community.

no go. hulu is asking for flash player 10.0.22 or higher.

univision live world cup is working.

any thoughts or home baked flash updates on the way?

(i did the about:debug thing as well)

[Nexus One General] nevion:
yo from the evo guys - can we get a little love here for our roms? They all come stock with flash 10.1 now. I can't seem to install the packages here, they die with

I assume minsdk or something is set too high.
[Nexus One General] Adam B.:
This app launches the Hulu.com sidebar page in a browser window. It will prevent your phone from sleeping and locking while the app is running.

This app is not affiliated with Hulu.com The Hulu logo is a trademark Hulu.com

6-25 Update: Should fix some issues people had with videos still playing in background.

11-30 Update: Exit button, allow orientation options, choose mobile or full website.
[Nexus One General] temperbad:
Most definently he can use his phone to download. Why not? Ive downloading many roms and files from the web via my phone. Theres gotta be some reason it is unsuccesfull.

I basically never use my pc and only use my phone. Gooooo Nexus
[Nexus One General] willverduzco:
Yes. Works for me now. It didn't work before on my FRF72 because I had somehow lost root, but it works now perfectly.
[Nexus One General] Ahanix:
Do tell, because now I am getting the error in FRF72 :S
[Nexus One General] willverduzco:
Here's what I did (using Amon_RA's recovery):

1. Install Paul's no-prereq FRF50

2. Install Update.zip to flash with custom recovery (no-radio version, since it's the same radio as Paul's FRF50)

3. Install Root

Works fine for me now, and the flash plugin is recognized. It's so odd that this APK requires root to run, but does not ask for root when is being used. Must be that signing process.
[Nexus One General] mr. gorilla:
Can you tell us what ROM your using? And how you installed it?
[Nexus One General] KurtangleTN:
I'm on Bugless beast, installed it normally, had to use widget.

Edit - Weird, just as I typed that I'm now getting "we noticed you are using an anonamizer"
[Nexus One General] chromiumcloud:
Working for me too. Actually pretty beautifully now.

I'm on Rodriguez's FRF 72 the latest with pershoot's kernel from the 19th.

And BIG THANKS to the OP!!!
[Nexus One General] willverduzco:
Thank you. This is fantastic. saves me a LOT of time.
[Nexus One General] willverduzco:
Works great on my rooted FRF83 N1. :D
[Nexus One General] Blackbrawler:
When you installed did you remove flash from the system files and then install it to the system or did you install it to data.

Also what did you use to install the apk?
[Nexus One General] Adam B.:
I just uninstalled it from using the applications manager in settings. Then I reinstalled using "adb install" on my desktop. Nothing fancy.
[Nexus One General] Hummeroid:
Im having a bit of trouble understanding why this is so exciting because Im plagued with a glaring problem... I suppose its probably only me, because I can't imagine anyone being too excited if this was common.

Every selection I make, itll play most of the show and ads, then at the last segment of show to play after ad... bam. Right back to beginning of vid, or a loop of ads. Neverending.

Anyone else experiencing this? Or is there something I missed?
[Nexus One General] KurtangleTN:
Update - Worked when I downloaded that sidebar thing.. most of the videos had the audio behind so it was kind of annoying.

I updated to the latest Ultimate Droid from source and now it's no long working.

I wonder what is making BB work?
[Nexus One General] tkimball00:
hey will this not work on a moto droid?? i get the "This video is not available at this site." no matter what video i pick. i did the debug, desktop, but this is what i get. any ideas??
[Nexus One General] ryryryry87:
i still cant get hulu on my droid on froyo either :(
[Nexus One General] JA64Flyers:
I've been able to get this working on Bugless Beast v.04 on my Moto Droid. Any video pops up saying that hulu cant play a video from their sponsors, then maybe 20 sec later it goes to the video.

My question is: does this hulu app support a horizontal display? Viewing the video vertically is extremely small and turning my phone or popping out the keyboard doesn't kick it into a horizontal display mode.

Thanks!
[Nexus One General] KurtangleTN:
It can go full screen... if you don't know how just hold onto the flash element and then wait for the square to pop up hit it and it will go full screen.

Also working still on BB, I don't know why but I've tried other roms and it doesn't work. BB has some magic in it or something.
[Nexus One General] JA64Flyers:
Oh wow, i never knew about that. Fullscreen ftw! Thanks!
[Nexus One General] Darreno1:
Can't play some hulu shows now for some reason. After it says 'brought to you by Motorola' it just stops. The movie trailers work and I've been able to watch some shows in the past.

I'm using a droid with bb v0.4 / nexus flash apk / hulu app.

Flash works great otherwise though.
[Nexus One General] jimiam:
just wanted to say that this is working fine for me on my droid with bugless .4 but i'm using the dolphin browser HD instead of the built in browser, simply because i can't seem to keep the default browser using the desktop UAString... dolphin does it permanently for me, so yeah.. otherwise it seemed to work fine in both when i set to Desktop.

much love
[Nexus One General] malsbury:
I too have it working on my Motorola Droid using the Bugless Beast V0.4 (Android 2.2 FRF84B ROM) and the Hulu App from the market. I find it works best with the CPU overclocked to 1.1Ghz for smoother playback, anything under 1 Ghz gets a little choppy.

Thanks for getting (and keeping) this working.
[Nexus One General] theherodrownd:
Works for me on Motorola Droid (Sapphire 0.7.0); flawlessly
[Nexus One General] jrodizzkool01:
Works fine on Droid with Froyo but a little choppy in some of the longer videos. I don't get why hulu even bothered to try and make it difficult for us to access the site. I mean what's the difference between using hulu on your phone's browser than using it on your netbook/laptop's browser? It's the same exact site.
[Nexus One General] willverduzco:
Works great on FRF91!
[Nexus One General] AverageCanadian:
I just wish somebody in Canada would strike a deal with Hulu so us Canadians could watch some content.
[Nexus One General] kwaad:
This works beautifully on my incredible. I just installed the .apk and it worked. I'm running a cm6 nightly build.
[Nexus One General] jpv190:
doesn't work on droid!

Hi, I have droid with 2.2 FRF84B and I already had flash, so I uninstalled it and installed the fixed flash apk file, but it doesn't work.. the blue cube appears like it wasn't installed. And with the hulu app, it says that the video is not available. What do I do? Is there a fixed flash apk file to do the trick?.. or can I simply change the user string of the browser? Would that work?
[Nexus One General] chesh420:
I'm still having issues with Hulu running in the background when I accidentally click an ad or hit the back button. When I try to open Hulu again, it just starts a new instance and keeps the old one running. Any suggestions of what I can try?

P.S. Nexus 1 rooted on CM6-RC1. No changes other then using LauncherPro instead of ADW. Only other thing, I installed the .apk via a file manager rather then adb push, dunno if that really matters since it is working, just leaves open the instance instead of killing it.
[Nexus One General] jimbo831:
I have a problem with Hulu, and I'm sure other sites, that I can't figure out. I can get Hulu to load videos perfectly, but I can't really control the videos, such as setting the volume and selecting a place in the video. The on screen controls for Hulu disappear unless it is detecting a mouse cursor over the screen, which it obviously doesn't do on a phone. This means I can guess as to where the button I need to press is, but the buttons don't appear until I touch the screen. With a few tries, I can get it to play, or other single presses, but I cannot change the volume. As soon as I tap the volume, it just mutes or unmutes. If I lift my finger to grab the volume slider once it appears, it disappears before you can move it. I have even tried just sliding my finger right up to it, but that doesn't work. Unfortunately my Hulu volume on my phone is all the way at the bottom, so I just can't hear it. Anyone have any solutions? Thanks.
[Nexus One General] speedbreaker:
you need your phone rooted to be able to see flash vids using the modified flash apk file thats listed on here!
[Nexus One General] ckloiber:
Not working here either.

Go into your browser and set your user agent in settings to desktop
[Nexus One General] bleedingblue:
Does this change the user agent to desktop for all sights, so you don't get any mobile sites?
[Nexus One General] Blackbrawler:
yes it does. But you can always change it back if you use a Dolphin Browser.

The Flash works for me on Bugless Beast but the videos (not just on Hulu) are really slow and just shutter.

anyone else have this problem?

Hulu working on Droid Incredible with Skyfire

I wasn't able to get Hulu working with either Flash fix using the browser or the Hulu app, but it is working directly in the Skyfire Browser page on my Droid Incredible using the flash-droid-fix.apk. Both 3G and Wifi.
[Nexus One General] negroplasty:
This ^ . It was working just fine before, one day to the next it stopped working. Oh well, I'm not too bothered, at least we finally have RockPlayer for DivX/Xvid and more.
[Nexus One General] sprinkles:
working perfectly fine on my n1. thank you!
[Nexus One General] duddy11:
I tried installing the flash-droid-fix apk file with astro file manager. Flash is uninstalled, and I tried rebooting even. When I go to install app from astro, The only option it gives me is to UNINSTALL it. I try it, and it says uninstall is incomplete. I am running skyraiders froyo rom ver 1.9 with the latest hydra kernal overclocked and undervolted. please help. Thanks :)

Edit: Never mind, It was astro that was causing the problem. I installed appinstaller and it installed successfully.. During the install process, it said that it had to replace system files, which I think flash is built into froyo. Even with flash uninstalled from the application menu, it was still seeing itself as installed. Weird.

Tried it couple days ago and didnt work. Just tried it and watched something called kitchen nightmares for the hell of it. ha ... But it worked.

[HD2 General] pandaxownage:
so i just got my hd2 yesterday from t-mous. I have been reading a lot about the task 29 thing, what does it do and how do i see the task 29?

thanks
[HD2 General] rlee008:
search... search... search...

search google/yahoo for task29 hd2, search youtube for task 29 hd2, if you've been reading alot you should know what its for... right?

if you just got ur phone chances are you dont need it as its brand new and you haven't flashed any roms on it yet. task 29 will format ur phone memory so it wipes out any remaining bits of info that stays behind when flashing from one rom to another...

again, u just got ur phone and its stock so chances are you dont need it, not yet anyways...

have fun, its a great phone....
[HD2 General] pandaxownage:
well, i think i am going to flash because the phone keeps on crashing on me and alone today i have soft reseted at least 3 times
[HD2 General] rlee008:
i had the same problem with the stock rom 2.10. it would crash and freeze all the time. after a call, opening an app, updating the weather etc but when i updated to the new official 2.13 i havent had a single crash since... at all, so maybe try that first. texting also speeds up a bit but still lags, just not as bad as the stock rom, the sensitivity of the touch screen goes down a bit but theres a fix for it, some like it, some dont... but as everything in life, you have to try it for yourself...

if you format your phone and install the same rom that came with your hd2 you're going to have the same problems... update to 2.13, i recommend it

rlee
[HD2 General] pandaxownage:
i just received my phone yesterday and i already have the 2.13 rom and its been crashing on me
[HD2 General] rlee008:
hmm thats strange, in that case i would do a reformat and reinstall of the 2.13 rom and see if that helps any, if not then install one of the awesome custom roms out there...

goodluck

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feld:
I imagine Froyo runs a new service that listens on some port for messages from Google. We'd need to know what that is and find out what APIs are needed to pass the message along the chain. I'm betting it isnt possible to do this on Eclair though.
[HD2 General] arturobandini:
Hello Guys,

I am posting here because I have this strange bug for a couple of weeks now.

I'm hoping someone had the same bug and could identify where it comes from. Or which app may cause this?

* Sometimes, when I want to make a phone call, my HD2 freezes.

* It apparently makes the phone call, but the screen is blocked, I can do nothing, and I cannot hear the callee. I cannot end the phone call.

* The callee can hear me.

* After 10 seconds my HD2 shuts down by itself and restarts automatically.

* Everytime it restarts this way, the Time is changed and is wrong.

It happened to me around 10 times already.

If any one of you had the same bug and could help this would be greatly appreciated.

Could any third app cause this. Actually it happens even if no application is running!:confused:

Thanks in advance.:)

My ROM is Miri WM 6.5.x v17.

Significant third party applications or Tweaks are :

Co0kie's Home Tab 1.8.5 and CHT Editor,

Ameba + Ameba Launcher + Ameba Settings

Kinoma Play, CorePlayer, Ruttensoft Cloudfiles,

AE Button Plus, SK Tools

Batti, Skyfire, CSMI,G-Alarm, SPB Time

Some Touch-X tweaks (power management, Wifi N, speed up scrolling, Opera max memory, smoothness, 6 tabs, etc...)

The problem is recent and the only apps I added recently are Ruttensoft and G-Alarm.

I have the same problem. This phone (hardware) is the best phone on the market but you know what. Windows Mobile frickin blows. I get so upset cause my phone always freezes and I have to turn it off and on, or even take the battery out.

I honestly may ditch this hunk of junk and get a my touch slide, that is how unhappy i am with this operating system. How anyone could like windows mobile is beyond me.
