you cant really turn off the skyfire html player, i just ignore it. it sometimes detects a video that is flash but i never select it, i just hit the flash icon on skyfire and i watch right on the site. i used root explorer and i went into data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib then i see the lib file. i take your file and paste it into that folder replacing the old one. i check to make sure the permissions are the same then i reboot. its a simple procedure, just not sure why its not working. i did also search the whole data and system folder to see if that lib file was anywhere else except data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer and it came up empty. its only in one location. idk if this helps but on the tab, the flash apk WAS installed as a system app and couldnt be removed fom the market except by force (using root explorer or adb). but once i removed it, i just reinstalled it again through the market and now i can uninstall it whenever i want. but like i said, idk if that makes any diff since the file is in the location where it needs to be.
[Nexus One General] Almighty1:
Interesting ayman07, not sure what to suggest since I don't have a tab to test it except perhaps there is a lib file for the flash in /system somewhere.
[Nexus One General] ayman07:
ok here what ill do. ill completely remove everything that has to do with flash. ill try to get the official flash.apk and install it as a system app. ill reboot and ill search again through the whole system folder for any libs that pertain to flash. if i find anything, ill let u know. do you happen to have the unmodified flash apk?
[Nexus One General] Almighty1:
Actually, it might actually be easier if you just look on the phone for any files with the name flash. I don't use the apk to install since I use the market download since it will inform me if there are updates.

Anyone try this with Google TV yet?
[Nexus One General] dag16:
Google tv was "fixed" a long time ago.
[Nexus One General] parabolee:
Really? I thought we were shut out again when they blocked the user agent change method.

Please direct me to the new fix.

Thanks!

EDIT: As far as I was aware the latest (as of Nov 11th) was -

The block is enforced by Flash ID just like the other networks used, making simple browser workarounds not possible.

[Nexus One General] dag16:
Oh well. Maybe a Google tv forum has some info. I believe this is xda forums talking about android phones
[Nexus One General] Chosen_on184:
Really sarcasm not necessary .. His question still legitimate since they both running the same OS ..

As far as the question go i thought i read on engadget that user agent on the browser still works .. I think i read that like 2 weeks ago .. might wanna check them out and see
[Nexus One General] decoyjoe:
The issue I'm having is installing the flash_fixed.apk gives me no access to any flash content. It installs successfully but then any flash content I try to load on my stock browser tells me I need to install flash. But its already installed. :confused:

Quite frustrating. What is going on with this?
[Nexus One General] Chosen_on184:
about:debug ..... user agent .. desktop .... that should fix that issue
[Nexus One General] firebrain:
Still doesnt work. Its shows the lego brick no matter which flash site I visit.
[Nexus One General] decoyjoe:
Yea same with me. Despite setting the user agent to Desktop, it still doesn't load ANY flash content. Just looks like I don't have flash installed at all.
[Nexus One General] dag16:
Have you set permissions? Have you revolted? What Rom are you running? As far as I know, this won't work on a stock Rom, even if you're fully rooted
[Nexus One General] firebrain:
Thanks. will try that. Im rooted but running a stock rom.
[Nexus One General] decoyjoe:
I am running a stock ROM on my Nexus One, fully rooted. Which permissions are you talking about? And not sure what you mean by "revolted"...?
[Nexus One General] dag16:
Oops, meant rebooted :)

Unless something has changed, this will NOT work on a stock Rom, even if you're rooted
[Nexus One General] Almighty1:
Works fine on a stock Rom as long as you download the Adobe Flash from the market, then replace the libflashplayer.so file with a hex edited version so it's seen as the Windows version instead of the Android version which I will post in my next post with today's Flash Player update.
[Nexus One General] Almighty1:
To make it easier, all you need to do is download Adobe Flash Player 10.1.105.7 from market and replace the /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so which is AND 10,1,105,7 hex edited to look like WIN 10,1,102,64 for HULU.

1) Extract libflashplayer.so to sdcard

2) Copy libflashplayer.so from sdcard to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib using root explorer and make sure the permissions for libflashplayer.so is rwxr-xr-x
[Nexus One General] JasonOT:
Just tried that on my Archos 101 and all it did was break Flash for everything. :(
[Nexus One General] calebchosen:
tried on my g2, permission are right and all. even with uastring as desktop and the .so file it told me i was on android...
[Nexus One General] manaox2:
Works perfectly again for me, thanks!

Droid X 2.2, latest flash, useragent desktop
[Nexus One General] soaring eagle30:
Hi, I'm a new member and Ihave Galaxy Tab on the At&t network I was wondering if that would work with on the Tab, I think I read some where that it's only for certain devices and if installed on the tab that all flash based videos will not work, Anyone knows if that's true.
[Nexus One General] Redeye:
It worked on my Nexus One running the latest CM 6.1 Nightly.

Thanks for this gem!
[Nexus One General] mwinschel:

[Nexus One General] Chosen_on184:
Can you throw post this apk with this already applied plz

NM added the .so file .. works fine
[Nexus One General] insanelycool:
edited libflashplayer.so works!

Thanks for the hex edit!

Works great on hulu for me. Droid 2 rooted stock rom. Now is there any way to get fancast working?
[Nexus One General] Almighty1:
glad it works for you. Flash on my phone being a Droid 1 is picky as the flash seems to kill the browser process which seems to be that the phone ran out of memory or something. Let me know if you figure out fancast since fancast is basically hulu.com + more!
[Nexus One General] Chosen_on184:
Fancast works fine on my nexus ..with the file you provided ..... a lil laggy over wifi but still plays
[Nexus One General] Almighty1:
Interesting, does it work only with WiFi or does it also work with 3g? I always thought that even with hulu.com or any flash tube site that 3g was laggy but wifi was fine.
[Nexus One General] beano311:
Works great on my G2 with stock and with Cyanogenmod :) Using the Hulu app works, although if you just change the UA to Desktop and go to hulu.com, you can watch the shows in 480p. Noticeably better quality, but slightly choppy and harder to use the video controls.

Lately it's been telling me I have flash updates though... is there a newer flash version out?
[Nexus One General] rcxquake:
I have received a request to modify the flash.apk for tegra devices. Would someone mind testing this for me and get back to me with the results?
[Nexus One General] terpsarlington:
Version 10.1.105.7

Can someone post the apk for Version 10.1.105.7 already modified for HULU.
[Nexus One General] Almighty1:
Newest Flash Player out was on December 2, 2010 when I posted the hex edited version. The app version should be 10.1.105.7.
[Nexus One General] parabolee:
Doesn't work for me. Samsung Captivate with latest Cognition Froyo Rom.

Just gives me a blank area where the video should be, no "you can't view this because your on an Android" warning though and my other flash still works.

BUT, FANCAST WORKS?!?!??!

Maybe I should use the Hulu mobile page?

EDIT: I found the small green down arrow to activate a flash video on Hulu just under the video location, and once clicked it started loading the video. Then it said "This video is not currently available for your platform". ??!

Strange that Fancast would work but Hulu still be shut out.
[Nexus One General] drunkncrew:

[Nexus One General] db306:
That is the version I currently have installed. I'm not sure what to do after uninstall etc etc. Sorry for the ignorance just a little bit of a newb
[Nexus One General] puma_:
I dont think you'll need a youtube vid for directions its pretty easy, btw i can also confirm its working on me for my cm 6.1.1 nexus one. From the beginning if you havent already, download and install flash from the android market. Go back to page 34 of this thread and dl the lib zip file, unzip that file and put it on the root of your sd card.

While your on the root of your sd card, using root explorer move that same file that you just unzipped to this directory : /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib.(not on the sd card you'll have to backup once to get to this directory) i personally moved the original lib file that was in there to my sd card just in case. The permissions are already set for the file, so you shouldnt have to change anything.

I'm using dolphin browser so i just went into settings and changed the user agent to desktop. and that should be it, let me know if you have any questions.

Any help would be great. Thanks
[Nexus One General] beano311:
Any chance of a 10.1.105.7 update, or at least release a guide on how to make the changes to the Flash apk so people can apply the mod themselves and not have to rely on this thread being updated? That would be awesome if it's possible.

Edit: Never mind! I should have looked before I posted: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9551104&postcount=339

Thanks Almighty1.

Anyone interested in doing this over ADB, here's how I did it.

1. Uninstall your old Flash Player via Settings->Applications->Manage Applications.

2. Download the latest version from the Android Marker

3. Download the libflashplayer.so file from Almight1's post (the link above), make sure you unzip it from the .zip file... I copied it to my ADB directory to make it easier.

4. Make sure you have ADB working (Google it if you need to know how, I'm not going to explain it here).

5. Open up a command prompt. adb devices to make sure your phone shows up, if not, check to make sure USB debugging is on and that you're using the correct ADB driver for you phone (again, Google that one if you need to).

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

7. adb shell

8. su (if not already at the # prompt)

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

10. chmod -v 0755 libflashplayer.so

You should see "mode of 'libflashplayer.so' changed to 0755 (rwxr-xr-x)" and that's it.

11. type exit and hit enter so that you're out of ADB (may take multiple exit commands).

Works on Droid 1

Well, I was able to get it working on my D1. The funny thing is that there is a flash download icon I had to hit to start flash. Usually the icon would be where the movie is on most websites, but on Hulu it was in place of the "copy embed code" gif.

I used the terminal emulator to copy and change permissions of the file. You must use su to change permissions

Lol I forgot to come back and say this worked perfectly for me - sadly though, this will somehow reach Hulu. Hopefully it isn't by some loud mouth blogger.. Hulu themselves could also be browsing this site, to ensure that no one here develops alternative methods. This thread being here all together isn't good, lol.
[Nexus One General] rcxquake:
To non-rooted people: how exactly are you installing the .apk? I am not familiar with non-rooted usage, so I would assume you are downloading it to your phone and installing it using the package manager? Or are you just skipping step 3, and saying it doesn't work? :rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] JareduPS:
I've tried using the package installer; that way doesn't work for non-rooted apparently.
[Nexus One General] gerizafa:
I've used:

1) Astro --> Open File --> Package Installer --> Install --> Complete --> hulu --> doesn't work

2) AndroZip --> Open File --> Package Installer --> Install --> Complete --> hulu --> doesn't work
[Nexus One General] rcxquake:
The only thing I can think of is to check under the system settings applications menu, for "Unknown Sources". If you don't have that option, that is probably the problem, and you are out of luck unless someone posts the .apk on the market (which costs $25, I believe). Sorry :(
[Nexus One General] gerizafa:
I've got "Unknown Sources" checked. I develop my own apps, and have installed them before, using the methods described above... so I'm pretty lost as to why it's not working.

I installed Adfree but I reverted my hosts file so I don't think it's causing it

Gingerbread works (sorta)

Coming from the HD2 forum I remembered this fix working for me. Recently upgraded to gingerbread and was saddened that it no longer worked. A couple posts back it was advised to just replace the libflashplayer.so, so I did. And I want to both thank you and inquire further. Replacing the .so allows me to once again view shadownet (for some reason my updated regular flash wouldn't do so). So thank you.

My inquirie is in regards to Hulu. Before with just the market flash, hulu always asked me to upgrade my flash. Now after replacing .so, it says it "sees that i'm using Android" and they are working to have hulu working for us users in the future.

Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you all for your time.

The gingerbread version I'm using is based on AOSP Nexus One, including GRH78 (Gingerbread / Android 2.3.1).

[Fix] Hulu working + libflashplayer.so fix - February 10, 2011

To make it easier, all you need to do is download Adobe Flash Player 10.1.106.16 from market and replace the /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so which is AND 10,1,106,16 hex edited to look like WIN 10,2,152,26 for HULU.

1) Extract libflashplayer.so to sdcard

2) Copy libflashplayer.so from sdcard to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib using root explorer and make sure the permissions for libflashplayer.so is rwxr-xr-x or chmod 755 the file.

To get this working, make sure to set your browser User Agent string. With the stock Android browser and probably other browsers excluding the Dolphin browser, you might have to do this each time you run any flash based site including hulu.com or start the browser:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=686765

Others are strongly encouraged to make a .apk installer file to share with others as a contribution to the Android community. Unfortunately, I have no way to make the .apk file as I have tried existing .apk's and all they did was made it seem like Adobe Flash was not even installed on all sites including hulu.com.

i used traileraddict.com as reference for test. i used to be able to view these videos with no hiccups/performance issues. Now its really bad.
[Nexus One General] eqzgkxokwa:
I noticed this as well, its a shame :(

But now i also noticed something ELSE! :P

If you use the mobile version, and long press the video as its playing you will get options to do full screen mode.

HERE IS THE PROBLEM THO.

On the n1 the video orientation is OFF , and the video plays to far to the right of the screen.

Can someone confirm or fix this please. :-/
