[Q] Hulu+ on i9100 based ROMs? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Something I just ran across - I'm running Jivy's ICScreweD ROM, and Hulu+ doesn't show up in the on-device market, and indicates unsupported on the i9100 in the web market. My guess is that this is due to lack of international support for Hulu+, so no need for support on a non-US device.
Anyone have any thoughts on getting Hulu+ on the device with this (or presumably any other i9100 ROMs)?
Would it simply be a matter of tracking down a current Hulu+ .apk and installing it? Or will Hulu not play nice if it thinks I'm on an unsupported device?
Would a relatively simple edit to build.prop fix the issue? If so, can anyone provide a link to some guidance on what I should tweak in build.prop?
Thanks,
DD

Start by looking at the fingerprint in build.prop

OK, anyone got a stock ROM already downloaded and handy they could copy the fingerprint from the build.prop and post it here?
Any pitfalls associated with just changing that line?
Thanks

Find a titanium backup somewhere on the forum and restore it. It worked for me.

OK. changed fingerprint in the build prop to the one pirateghost provided. fixed permissions, rebooted, cleared market data, and still no hulu+ app.
Time for some more research...

I forgot whom I got these files from on here, but all you need to do is download and extract the attached file to your TitaniumBackup folder then restore using App+Data. That should do it.

Thanks Magn2o, appreciate the upload! at least this will get me up and running until I can sort out the market to keep it updated!
Edit: file installed fine, let me log in. won't stream video, claims the device is unsupported. back to monkeying with build prop again...

Sounds like you either removed something it needs, or didn't build the ROM together right.
They are bigger than nexus ROMs due to Touchwiz.
Hmm yeah but what is the problem? You said in your thread that you will made your own light rom how have you done it? Did it work? What could be an important app? I deleted the hole list from the angelom thread on page 19 or so and some other crap like livewallpaper. But I have deleted this apps before trough root explorer and everything worked fine.

OK it will be the putting together of the ROM that's the issue. Did you CWM flash?
No with heimdall because I cant create a flashable zip.

If you didn't even see the bootanimation that means the bootanimation isn't there or its corrupt. this means, you either got a problem while flashing, or the files are damaged while packing the file.

[Q] Installing apk & odex to /system

HI everyone, this is my first post here so if i ask any noobest questions, please forgive me.
Here is the issue, I downloaded the S3 apk pack from HERE and wanna install some apps to my Nexus S.

Whatever i did, it just never show up at my widget drawer..
Anybody can help?
Days gone and still stuck up
Thanks everyone
Try adb pushing or installing them to data/app and see if they work!

Isn't data/app for installed .apk?
How about the .odex file?
I'm actually not to sure. But you should try it anyway just to be sure.

If the apps are simply taken from Samsung rom they will not work in any way. They need to be ported if I'm right
My own phone's Samsung apps had to be ported to work on cm7 and cm9
Hope this will help
Don't waste time pasting all apks and odexes and find them not work
Correct me if I am wrong

allspark2020 you are right. thanks for pointing it out.
Now i may either get CM9 for my nexus s or get a Samsung device
Thanks for everything guys~

Clock Work Mod folder on GS3??

Hi guys
Apologies if this is in the incorrect section or if somebody has posted before, I have searched but can't seem to find anything. I have a Clock Work Mod folder which appears to be empty on my factory standard GS3... Any ideas how this got there??
Thanks for any info on this...
The folder refers to the recovery that you must have installed when rooting.
It's a folder for any system backups you make using recovery

I haven't rooted though... Having said that, I wonder if it wasn't installed when ROM manager was installed on my device when I logged into Google the first time... That could explain it...

Installing the Play Store Mod

Hey all,
I'm really interested in installing Deeco7's play store mod. The device is rooted and WT's custom ROM is installed. The problem is that I'm unable to install the modified version of the play store. He explains in his 'How to' that you need to backup and replace the Vending.apk file in the /system/app folder. Weirdly enough, there is no vending.apk to backup or replace...
Can anyone help me installing his mod? Or does someone know if it's - may be a better question - possible on our device?
Here is the link to his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650116

Request for keyboard apk

I'm wanting to try the new jellybean keyboard from the Note 2 on my S3 and would appreciate if someone would upload the apk for me. After trying the demo out and seeing the number keys locked @ the top, I wanted to try it on my phone but didn't want to download the entire ROM, just to try it. If someone would upload it, I would appreciate it.

Thanks, I have the tar downloaded but don't know how to extract it either. Root explorer wont do it. I believe its just the samsungIME.apk, but I'm unsure if there's another that goes with it or not. If you can pull that from your phone, I would appreciate it. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help. I downloaded it but it will not install, there may be a lib file that goes with it, to allow it to install or just be incompatible. I'll have to do some research. Thank you for the help.

I figured that out, after opening the apk. I did download the deodexed version from one of the ROM developers and it installs, but force closes instantly. The files are different, in a few aspects but I'm working on some lib files now. Hopefully that will work...........

I would love to try this keyboard on my tmobile note 2. i can type easier on the stock keyboard but can swipe better with swiftkey flow.
