I was able to rent, and watch a movie on my rooted NC. I followed this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15620050&postcount=175
instead of bin I typed in xbin.

So the takeaway from this is that Google Movies is looking for SU by name and renaming it MU (or just about anything else) gets around the "root" check.
Cool. Does this allow the Movies section in Google Market to show up?
From what I've read, yes it is looking for SU by name. You're root apps no longer work while in MU, just an fyi.
I don't have the new market on my NC any longer. I reverted to the older version. I rented the movie from my DROID with the new market. Opened the google videos app on my NC, linked to my gmail, and the movie was there ready for viewing.

I know it isn't an App (I'll work on that later) but here is a script you can run from a Terminal Emulator.
Just download the script to the root of your SDcard and then run this in Terminal:
Code:
sh /sdcard/googlevideo.sh
It'll Autodetect where SU is and whether you're running the script as Root or not. If you aren't Root it'll inform you whether you need to run "su" or "mu" to get Root. Once Run as Root it'll automatically rename SU as needed.
Download the Script here: http://db.tt/nNy1jCy
I started a topic for the script. If you have any questions ask there.

Hi, if someone has managed to patch market to have available non-qvga apps, I would like to ask if you would be willing to download Sports tracker by Nokia v 1.5.2 and post it.
I would appreciate it.
P.s. it's free: )

Search google for sportstracker.apk download, I found and downloaded it from the first page, save it to your SD card and install with a file manager like astro, root explorer etc...... good app but I'm a bit too lazy to ever use it!

Did that before posting here, It's not the version I'm after but thanks anyway
Anyway thanks for your replies, actually I managed to get it, and it's not working good.
There is a new update to the HBO go app - still does not play video on our phone - but more importantly the new update is requesting super user permissions!
Not sure why yet, just want to pass out heads up and for anyone noob who has rooted who does not fully understand what that means in LINUX just warn
Don't allow anything or any app super user permission (root permission) if you don't know what it is doing!

nevermind.....plays but no vid...weird...asks for SU every time
I opened it and saw the request for root permission. I hit DENY and then it still went to the main page, I was able to open and play the last video I started watching. I am on CM7 and the video and audio ARE WORKING.

It finally works on the international SGS2 after the update. Before you'd get audio and a giant pause button where the video should be. It doesn't ask for superuser rights on my phone after the update.
I have tried looking around to find out how to get the hulu plus app on the nook color. Is there anyway to do this without adjusting the build.prop of the nook, or is that the only way to make it work? If that is the only way, can someone point me in the right direction to make that work or tell me any bad things that will occur by adjusting this.
Thanks.
Check rootzwiki forum. They have a version of thr hulu plus app that can be downloaded and restored using titanium backup . This version works on my nook color without editing the build.prop I think its in the thunderbolt forum.

If you download the app and zip files from there, place the three individual zip files in titanium backup folder. If you already have hulu installed, clear data for the app first and then uninstall it and may need to reboot, I had to do so with the inc2. Install the apk given but do not open the hulu app yet. Restore titanium backup files and enjoy hulu plus

Thanks for posting this. Great help!
Thanks for the info guys.
Does this still work?
I have downloaded the files and use titanium to restore...
The app runs but gives me the "device not supported yet" banner.
I can use it to manage my account and all... but no play...
anyone?

Greetings!
Wondering if anyone knows of any sources for the stock Google apps for Honeycomb 3.2.
I installed HC (per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758 -- and am also going to try this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393904 )
I've been looking forward to HC, and am glad I finally bit the bullet, rooted, and installed it. But I'm still left wanting the stock, un-Sense'd experience.
The gmail app from HTC seems largely untouched. Unfortunately, that's not the case for calendar & contacts. Anyone know where I can get those apk's? (And if it's as simple as getting a hold of those and/or flashing them from CWM?)
I looked around on Google, but didn't find a good candidate to use (admittedly, I'm new to this, and am not sure what should work and what to avoid.)
Thanks, folks!
Jeff
Find a device that runs a asop or or close asop version of honeycomb and dl a Rom and pull the apk. Worth a shot

Attached are the Google Calendar (incl. widget), Google Desk Clock (incl. widget) and Gallery apk. I copied them from this ROM, but got them working on a HC Sense ROM now.
push to /system/app and reboot.
Unfortunately I don't have the Google Contacts apk
I can't seem to install it?

You can type "adb remount" instead of using a file explorer. I find that more convenient lol

I was able to get everything to work with root explorer except for the calendar app which is the one I want the most. Has anyone else has any luch getting the calendar installed?

Does your system/app contain the CalendarProvider.apk? It should be there in order to let the CalendarGoogle.apk work. Otherwise install aLogcat to find any exceptions...
OK, finally got the calendar working just by using Root Explorer. The trick was to put the calendar apk in the system folder and change the permissions there before moving it to the app folder. Works like a charm.
The Calendar sizing is a bit off, but I can live with it since I mainly wanted it for the widget.
HJ200 - Thanks for the Contacts.apk
Sorry I'm just now getting back to you. I knew I wanted to flash another ROM, and was waiting till I did to try this. Anyway, today I flashed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421074
And then tried the Contacts.apk. I am not familiar with adb, so tried with Root Explorer. With Root Explorer in R/W mode, I put the apk in System, changed the permissions to rw-r-r, moved it to the app folder, and rebooted. The apk is definitely there, but it is not found in the app drawer. Suggestions? (Also, I am not familiar with adb, so was trying to do it without that...)
Thanks!
Jeff
Anybody able to walk me through how to get the Contacts app working w/o using ADB?
My post above lists what I've tried. I've looked around and have not found helpful suggestions.
Thanks!

You wont be able to get the contacts apk to work because it relies on the stock HC framework :/

Aw, stink. Ok, thanks, Gumby.
Found this thread on xda's "Droid RAZR General" forum that mentions conflicting results with a workaround for the TWC app preventing the livetv feature if you have root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604411
Just want to point out that on my AT&T NOTE (Seraphim First Flight ROM) renaming the /system/app/Superuser.apk then clearing the TWC app from memory was successful. Was then able to use the TWC Live TV feature.
A script to do this automatically is probably warranted but I'm sure some of the great minds here on xda will beat me to it !
Worked fine for me on DAGr8 alpha II, no moding needed
Just wonder if any way to get live TV working when off my home wifi network.

Anyone tried "hide my root" for this? I can't test it since I don't live in a TWC services area.
