Hey everyone-
In case you didn't already know, the Hulu Plus app just came out for android but of course it's not compatible with the Vibrant. It is, however, compatible with the nexus s, which makes me think that getting it to work on the Vib shouldn't be to hard given how easy it was/is for the netflix app (assuming they use the same DRM technology). So I was wondering if anybody would be willing to tackle this mod and try something out? I don't have the apk, sorry, but it can be found here: http://bit.ly/lZqZ6m. Thanks again.

I got my APK from here instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136634
My Nook Color (running CM7) is already working (it's a "Nexus S" by "samsung" in name alone) so I tried the same edits on my SGS Vibrant and caused the app to FC. Still running a 2.2 Froyo build ATM.
So, I'm inclined to believe it requires 2.3 or later to work ATM. Merely changing the model / manufacturer section of the system\build.prop (case IS important) on a SGS CM7 (or GB ROM) may allow it to finally work. No need to change the fingerprint as I didn't have to for the NC.
a straight ahead build.prop edit running CM7 nightly did not help the situation. app is listed in market and downloads, but get device compatibility error for playback.
You might try switching the resolution to match that of the nexus a, in combination with your build props edits. I think theres an app in the market that does this called screen density.

you can change density from within the build prop no application required.
I got the app from the market a few weeks ago and it of course did not work.
I however logged into my hulu account a yesterday and it showed my phone as an activated device on the account settings page.
It detected as a t959. I have a vibrant with CM7 build 41.
A friend has an hd2 with a cm7 rom on it and it does not shoot out the unsupported device message it tries to play the videos but will sit at the loading screen forever.
What's the word on this it seems like nobody cares to get hulu working!!!

just installed the APK ya it says no support bummer anyone modified this yet to work on more devices? I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 running Rooted Gingerbread CDMA Sprint Rom.
I used to use one modded by Racing19969 for the Galaxy S 4G when I had it, when I dusted off my old Vibrant I tried it out and all is well as I said all credit goes to Racing19969

I have a Autonooter 3.0 rooted NC. I am looking for the Live Wallpaper Water and can not find it anywhere. It is the one that shows the surface of a pond with leaves. When you touch the screen the surface ripples. Does anyone know where I can get this?
"Waterize" should be available in the Market.
Cheers,
kev
Thanks, that looks nice, but not the one I am looking for.
I believe you are talking about the stock live wallpaper that Google included with Android 2.2 Froyo. Nook just rooted is only 2.1 until B&N provides the rumored 2.2 update (though it will be a stripped down edition). If you flash a newer ROM it will be included.
I have been using Customized Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 by brianf21 for a while now and love it. Much better than 2.1. I am going to try CM7 pretty soon though because I want bluetooth and Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
Look at the samsung galaxy s serious of phones. You cam extract the wallpaper from a rom in the captivate section. It's called leaves I believe.

I am running the Phiremod variant (version 5.2) of CM7. It is on there and set as my wallpaper.
This instance, by the way, appears to be very stable. The live wallpapers are fine. my only (minor) complaint is that some map-based apps die on startup. I have tried many different LCD Density Settings, but I think it does not like the clocking: Phiremod is overclocked to 1.1, I believe.

Do you have root explorer? If so, can you pull the apk and post it? I keep forgetting every time I'm at home. Or op, send me a pm and I'll get an email, then I won't forget.
I would post it, but I don't have access to a pc with internet, and I can't upload from phones app or browser.

I was excited to get 2.3.4 so I can try to get the video gtalk working
It works on a lot of non nexus S phones (my brothers galaxy S for example)
I simply flashed a zip for him, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056793
But trying with the latest CWM for Atrix 2.3.4, I always get status 0 (installation aborted)
I also used Gtalk installer from the market, and it installs fine and I can see video icons but when clicked, the app just disappears and comes back, nothing happens
That link has most of the methods, but the zip I used on a Galaxy S (and works) is attached.
PS: I also flashed the google apps zip successfully, but the Gtalk video still doesnt work.
Lots of mentions of 'GoogleServicesFramework.apk' being the culprit
The front facing camera is probably the culprit here. There are specific versions of Qik for the Atrix, so I'm assuming there would be a specific version of gtalk for us too.
Have you guys even tried the front camera? It's black and white, rotated 90 degrees off and stretched. The front camera for the hk 2.3.4 build is really messed up for now.
i was noticing it was skewed weird, but using qik and yahoo messenger on my wifes end the video looked fine, on my end its rotated weird but in full color
I installed the CWM zip using root explorer (put the 3 files in the right places, googleframework and talk.apk in /system/app and the lib file in /system/lib and change all permissions to rw-r--r--)
I get all the video icons and I can make a voice chat, but the voice chat never reaches the other person (me on a separate account on my computer). When my test account calls the account on my phone the phone does not receive it either.

Agreed, once an official USA release version of Gingerbread comes out, that is. I think the dev phone/beta/whatever status of the 2.3.4 leak we have is the problem.

First off I want to say that MacRom is the most stable/speedy ROM I've used so far (thanks for all the hard work!).
Just a couple issues with the new MR8 update:
1. The new market seems to be really slow? (maybe just due to the older Eris' lack of speed?)
2. I don't know if this is a market related issue or not, but I can't install a couple apps I use. The market doesn't give me an option to even download them: Words with Friends and Google Books. I'm not sure if it's related to the new market or if the apps are somehow incompatible with the new MR8 update?
3. Is there a way to get rid of the blue line that appears whenever you tap the screen to make a selection? I've been searching but have yet to find a way. The line just kind of annoys me, personally.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I love this ROM! Thanks!
Dude the same thing has been happening the past two days for me on Deadly and Spicy ROMs. For instance I had not been able to get Titanium but I got my Pro key fine, and same thing with XDA, regular worked fine but couldn't download premium. I took a nap earlier and woke up and had premium I'm about to check Titanium so it may be a Market issue.

Good to know. Hopefully it's just a market issue then, but still no luck for me...
same here
i too am wondering why i can't download certain apps from the market, like facebook for example. it's not already installed and i get no download button for that app in the market...but i get download button for most other apps.
also wondering about how to get rid of blue bar on menu selections.

I've seen the same issues with MR8 and MR9... I'm looking into the issue, but haven't found a work-around yet. I'm thinking it may possibly be a result of the build revision bump to 2.3.5 that might be throwing the market off (showing the phone as incompatible with your device), but it's only a theory, no fact to that yet...
Glad to know I'm not the only one as I have been having trouble downloading my premium apps too. I flashed 2.3.5 yesterday. I'm a noob so I was wondering what I Fk'd up... LOL!

Having the same problem on cs's cm7 rom...

I've noticed at least 10 apps that show as 'not compatible' with my Streak, including the latest, XDA app, for example.
Question is: Why?
I have only modded the resolution to 180, but other than that, I'm running a stock and rooted ROM (351) with just a bit of bloatware stripped out. (Stage UI, etc.)
Can anyone give me an idea as to why apps that by all accounts ARE compatible show as being incompatible for me?
The main point is that I'm sure that many of these apps work for other Streak owners, just not for me.
The XDA app being a prime example of such. There must be a logical reason, but I don't know it. Anyone?
I am also on stock 351 and the XDA app shows up as compatible for me in the market. Did you change your fingerprint to get another app working, such as Netflix? I am at the stock 160 density.
The method that the market uses to determine compatibility is pretty poor when it comes to matching apps with compatible devices. You can try changing the fingerprint to another device.
Double check that you have the content filtering (maturity level) set to all, but that should not effect the XDA app.
I too found now that lots of the apps shows that they are not compatible with Dell Streak. Even some of the apps already installed won`t update because they are not compatible with Dell Streak now!
I tried to unroot Streak and now it is ok and at least apps already installed are again compatible. So try to unroot it first. Anyway, I needed root just to get rid of ooVoo etc.
I have official 351 and density set to 140

I can't function without root, but I suspect it might be the same problem, because I have the identical problem. Installed apps show as 'incompatible'... what a load of crap.
Thanks for the tip. I'll try it.
Unrooting attempt forked my system. I had to restore. Thank god for Nandroid
Can't unroot.
Which items are showing as not compatible with the Streak so someone like me, with the resolution untouched but the ROM rooted, can test things.

Many things which I already have installed show as incompatible, such as these two examples:
Drag Racing
XDA Forum app
QuickOffice Pro (which I own and purchased directly) is also listed as incompatible, but I have it installed and running perfectly.
I found an apk here for the Drag Racing app and it works. I'm now up to the latest version, but my Market app still shows that I need to update but says it's not compatible, but as I said, I already have the game installed and have already updated it to 1.1.0 via the apk manually.
There are quite few others, but I don't recall them all now.
None of those are showing as incompatible on my Streak. So the most likely culprit is the screen DPI change you made, since the DPI change is the only major difference between your Streak and mine. There are other possibilities such as a bugged Market APK or a corrupt flash of the ROM, but those aren't as likely.
I presume you have tried getting these apps through your PC?
I think it is just the root. I have DPI 140 (different from official 160 and even that is not standard for 800x480 screen) and I have device unrooted now and apps are compatible again (for example Appbrain was not compatible before and now it is ok).
When I last time had problem with this I wrote to developer of application and he wrote back that the app should be compatible with Dell Streak. So I wrote to Google support and they wrote that my device is rooted so they can't support it. So maybe Google is blocking some of the apps to the root users?
Donalgodon: sorry for your troubles with unrooting. I used Gingerbreak and the unroot function worked perfectly.
If I weren't rooted I might be inclined to agree with you. But, I'm rooted therefore something else must be causing the compatibility problem. Unlike you guys, I didn't change the dpi of the screen. The dpi change seems to be the common denominator here, and thus the dpi is more than likely the culprit.

Hmmm... but I have different DPI then official (140) and when unrooted apps are compatible again and I still have DPI 140... But maybe another idea - I updated market manually. If I think of it, that was maybe the time when appbrain shows as not compatible...
So, does anyone updated Android market manually too?
I did not manually update Market, but it did it automatically to the 3.1.3 version. I'll strip out the DPI change later today and report back.
I had the same problem so I tried changing back to 160 using blade buddy, nothing happened, until I accidentally turned it off. After boot, I checked market and it was fixed. So I tried going back to 200 using lcd density (which is temporary until you do a full reboot), the problem came back. I did a reboot, now back to 160 and it was ok again. So I tried blade buddy again and set it to 200 and saved it, full reboot, and it's still fixed. I hope this will solve your problem too.

Just a follow up to my own OP...
I stripped out every mod I made and even replaced the original build prop from a backup I made when I first flashed the stock ROM.
No luck. Still the same apps show as incompatible with my device.
This may be one more motivation for me to dump the streak.
Anybody have any other ideas about what I can try?
I had problems with some of my apps not showing so I changed my fingerprint to 351, uninstalled the new market update, and froze the market updater.

Also, if you've changed your LCD density, a lot of apps will show up incompatible. You can either change it back to 160, or use an app like lcd density pro to download a modded market apk that will work with your custom screen density, while making the market think you are still running 160.

Thanks for recommending lcd density pro I was a little skeptical about paying ~$3 for it but it seems to work great with the app market where I change my DPI to 132 the native DPI of the Touchpad.
You may want to try the "rohan" update here in the Dev section. It changes a bunch of stuff in your build.prop file. I was able to download and start Shadowgun last night (I didn't really try playing). I still had problems with Dead Space, and haven't tested any of the Gameloft games yet.
