So the wife has been asking for a solution on watching videos hulu.com on the tablet, but afaik it doesn't work on any current browser. After putting my mad Google skill to work, found a paid app for $.99 called Flash Video Browser (buy it on Amazon cause Google market will show not compatible) which does the job.

I even tried it on my Iconia A500 and it works there too.

I watch stuff on Hulu.com all the time (about once or twice a day) with the stock browser from CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 and the latest Flash from the Market (with a modified libflashplayer.so file which tells Hulu it's a Windows PC you're coming from and not an Android device) and changing the UserAgent setting in the browser to tell Hulu.com that you're coming from a desktop web browser (as a lot of their videos are not licensed for mobile viewing).
Just replace the libflashplayer.so file found in your data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib folder with the one I've attached as a zip file to this post and you should be good to go.
Also, for the best viewing experience, I've got my streaming settings in Hulu.com to stream at 288p and it streams nicely without any issues and the picture looks great.
Awesome info, wished I would have known about this before but the app itself isn't too bad. This should help others who are looking to do the same thing.
thanks! this is great
Also, just an FYI...
Several television networks have full episodes of popular shows and current episodes on their websites. With my current browser and Flash setup I watch Person of Interest and C.S.I. on CBS.com, the current season of Downton Abbey on PBS.org and Fox.com has a bunch of shows (some are also on Hulu but some are not).

That is the correct file path name and I can confirm that this works.
After I set my user agent to Mac desktop I had to wipe the cache, but wiped the history, cookies just incase before it would recognize that I had flash player and that I wasn't on android device.

The path I posted before is the correct full path. Perhaps you are using a file explorer that can only see the SD card and not the root of the file structure? I use Root Explorer which can see all of the files/folders but I've heard some people have used ES File Explorer (free) and that it can also see all of the folders and files.
I'm using ES File Explorer and Astro but can't find the path you mentioned on both the eMMC and SD card.

i am running off SD card with CM7 if that may be affecting the structure. i can get to the system files like build.prop and things like that.

I can't tell you why you don't see the data folder but here are some screenshots of my directory structure. I've highlighted the folders and file in question on my NC.

The guy that sits next to me at work has his NC running CyanogenMod 7.1 off of his micro SD card and he can see the data folder on his NC as well. The only thing I can say to try is to get to the root folder of whatever file explorer you're using until you can see the data file. If you're at the root level you should see folders like the ones in my first screenshot.
Can you get a screenshot of your file structure and post it? If you don't know it already CM 7 has that feature built in. Just hold down the power button for a second and when the power menu pops up one of the choices is "screenshot".

thx for the help your screenshots helped. i didnt drill down pass the data folder. it didnt say to go into the adobe flashplayer folder on the original posting of where to go. i guess it was assumed. thx for the help !
using Ghost Commander (free) from the Market I was able to find the listed path and it worked great. make sure you don't have auto-update enabled with the Flash player else it will over-ride the file. If so just copy it again. Thanks

...made a revision of my soundbox to fix the storage name issue.
FlaxBOX2 v3:
Its now easier to use, I left the sound names on a txt file still because its easier to change on you PC's notepad or PPC's notes than on 100 separated registry variables. :/
The folder and mp3 names are hardcoded so there are no mistakes.
"Theme 10" is empty so that you can add your own sounds (you can change all, of course).
Its limited to 10 folders with 10 sounds each, so that's 100 sound files.
What's new in v3:
-----------------
- More colors.
- More sounds (now 90 + your 10)!
- Favorite sound, on open it will play automaticly your pre-selected sound.
- Auto-configurable path, thanks to Wedge, the cab creates everything for you now.
- Shortcut on the start menu (wo-hooo).
- Quick-config paths in different languages (only needed if you open the app in a rom or PDA where you didnt installed the cab).
To install:
---------
- Install Flash 7: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer_pocketpc/downloads/player.html
- Download and extract the Zips and then the 2 part RARs, with Winrar.
- Install the CAB.
- Have fun.
To customize:
--------------
- Rename the names on the data.txt.
- Add your own Mp3 on the right folders with the right filenames.
- Create your own, following the same variables and placing them on the correct folders.
Create your own funny pack and upload it here for everyone to use.
Works Great on HP iPaq 210
Just tried your new version and it works great! I loaded FlaxBox on the CF Card following your very simple instructions, set the path and started using my new PDA Executor! Even better, this version should be easy to upgrade, just replace the exe ...
Thanks very much!
Works Great on Diamond
Thanks for this App,
works onmy diamond on storage card (AZTOR X2Ultimate), very simple to use and customize with 8 folders.
I start to complete 8th folder.
Thanks for the Ap! I have a problem though. I set the path for the sounds but it does not save. The program will find the folders up to the point where I restart my phone and then it does not find them. It also does not work with the default location. Any ideas?

Thanks, but I tested it and saves the path on mine... :/
Are you sure your not giving him the wrong path?
Mine is like this:
Yeah I am sure. Tried it so many times and different ways. Is there maybe a registry entry I should clear somewhere that may be corrupt from FlaxBox 1?
Thanks for any help!
Also this is on a VZW Touch Pro.
Nope, the older version relied completly on the txt file, so no registry at all.
You can use a freeware registry viewer or resco explorer to see whats on the:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\FLAXBOX -> PATH
Whats the name of your storage card on the explorer?
My storage card is "Storage Card".
That registry entry is not there. Could that be the problem?
Well... it should create it... :S
But if its not there, it would read the default value... And if you are using that one, it's even more strange.
I agree. Can you copy the Registry entry as I should create it and see if that helps?
BTW - I am running custom ROM with lots of hacks so I am not trying to say there is anything wrong with your program. Others seem to be running it with no issue.
Well, you should only need flash 7. :/
Here it is, use it on any registry tool or Resco explorer.
hey! really nice app, but i have some problems with it. It looks like this:
Any ideas?
wow....thats a major video-card repulse to flash...
You have flash 7, right?
Never saw that before.
Yeah, i just installed it (on to my storage card). Maybe i should have installed FP on the internal storage? Or is my phone really crappy? (Asus P320)
edit: ok, my phone just sucks. I've reinstalled FP to the internal storage, no effect.
Oh well, the buttons work even if they are unreadable.
I think flash 7 always installs itself to the windows folder, even if you tell him to go to the storage card.
It is because of the rom, something about the video driver that isnt reading the colors correcly, it looks like an old bug in windows 3.11 (PC) that happened if you choose the wrong color limit... Not that this helps on anything... :/
Thanks but no luck. I think it must have something to do with the ROM. I will try it out again after my next ROM flash. I did try your no sd card version also with no luck.
Thanks again!

Could be the ROM... It's custom one. The strange thing is that other apps that require the video card work just fine (games, multimedia, even flash). Anyway, windows mobile is generaly buggy so this doesn't seem all that strange.
Thanks!
@twolf
You deserve honor this is sooo funny app!
I post here over 60 fart sounds as wav!!
Maybe somebody have interesting about that!
I have one question, did exist a WVGA Version for my Touch HD?
Thank you in advance!
Namaste
Elena
Olá twolf,
Thanks for this, it's a funny one!
I've tried to make a CAB for this and it almost worked. The main problem is that you're using "/" as a path separator instead of the standard (in the windows world) "\".
Maybe that is what is also causing problems to other people. If you could use "\" on the registry entry it would greatly simplify installation.
BTW, you keyboard is great, but just try to enter "Cartão de Memória" with it... You should know better!

Obrigado, I didnt understood the "\" "/" problem, but the tool's api I'm using for the registry only works with those commands, if I try to use it any other way it simply wont work...
Ouch, lol...you are right, I never had Windows Mobile in other languages, including my own, so never thought of that, hehehe...
You can still edit the registry manually with a reg tool, sorry about that...

Download and install in the memory of the device this:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0GWT814X
We download the game's pack that we want.
We put the swf game in the memory card and with Resco Explorer associate the swf to the program that was previously installed: Archivos de programa/adobe/Flashlite/appzone.exe
Done, now we can play, choose your favorite program to rotate the screen and enjoy it!

Run the game and wait for fully load on our pc screen.
Once loaded the game we go to the Firefox menu -> Tools -> Page Info -> Media.

you just draw a square and the dpad shows in your screen in portrait mode. ou push the R and this comes to landscape and vice versa
just to ask, have you tried it in flash games ? are you satisfied ?

1) you save the .swf file to your phone.
2) you open the folder that contains the swf file with resco file explorer
3) you click continusly in the swf file until the sub menu show in the screen. then choose OPEN--->OPEN WITH
4) then click browse and choose there the program from the folder "program files/adobe/Flashlite/appzone.exe". then you are ready
5) now every swf file that you open in resco explorer will play automatically.
Thanks tonyk for your answer
It took me some time to find out how to draw that square... you have to start with top left corner, then go right...
Now I have just checked quickly with a few games to see that it works, I need to play more with different games to be able to say if it's a satisfying solution...
I'll post some feedback later on.
I also wanna add, for those who don't have Resco Explorer, they can use Total Commander to associate files:
long click on file -> Properties -> Associate tab -> browse to Appzone.exe -> OK

Nice to hear that LMTs controller is working with the flash lite player. I only tested LMTs controller with FPSEce and morphgear. If you find any problems regarding LMTs controller, feel free to post them in the LMT thread and I'll try to fix them...
well, tested it on X1 with WM6.1
It works........ but badly enough not full screen as seen on the screenshot in post 1...
It's a bit too small to play nicely on the X1 in my opinion...
(Also with penalty shootout it's rather impossible to aim in the corners...)

seems promising
will have to check out Android Commander.
Droid Explorer runs pretty good, a bit laggy at times but it is promising. Hope it is ok to attach this jnlp to go with Droid Explorer in case anyone needs it. It was the only way to get screen cast to work properly. Just un zip, and toss the folder on the desk top. It helps start up the screen cast mode for Droid Explorer, in case anyone has trouble getting the one inside DE to work. Hope this helps.

Since tinkering with things is a hobby of mine coupled with an ongoing infatuation with Blender3d I decided I'd spend some time working on a few new boot animations.
Admittedly I only have a basic understanding of the boot animation format but I'm going to render some frames out and see what I can do. Neat stuff is neat.
Here's a few frames from my first test animation..

I've started with a new CM7 boot animation since I use CM7+DalOC+SDcard boot on my own Nook Color.
If anyone has any other ideas or a wishlist drop it in here and I'll see what I can come up with. We are limited by only our imagination.
looks good!
Good job and good luck.
Mmm looks like a green lantern android. Moar plz!
Looks like it's gonna be an awesome boot animation, I've always loved trying out new one, and it looks like this ones gonna be amazing! Awesome work so far, and good luck finishing it off.
I like! Nice start

Hey guys,
First bootanimation is ready to go. This is the full screen .png version. Runs fine on my nook. I tested a smaller res version on my nook and it didn't make much of a difference so I ended up just leaving it full screen.
Quality on the nook is much nicer of course...

Download bootanimation.zip :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SPBBE750
Instructions for installation:
1) Download and install the free E S File explorer on your nook
2) In the settings menu enable all the root options
3) Connect your nook to your computer USB and transfer the bootanimation to a spot you know where to look from E S File explorer
4) On your Nook use E S File explorer to copy the bootanimation.zip from that drop folder to the /data/local directory. You can delete the other bootanimation.zip that is there if you are replacing something.
5) Done. Reboot. Rejoice.
There may be other ways to accomplish the same thing but this is the method I used for my SDcard install.
Hmm, my bootanimation.zip stays in the /system/media folder... Not sure if mines different for some reason, but I've never heard of putting it in the /data/local directory...
Must be different on an SD card install, I'm running off of eMMC.
Oh, and holy crap, that animation is huge! Can't wait to try it out, but my Nook is out of commission at the moment, got it taken by my parents
I'm going to render out a red and cyan version of this same animation since I already have the models, lighting and effects in place. After that I'll probably switch it up with something different.

Sounds great, always loved cyan myself. Wish I could try it out right now!
Edit: hmm, when I go to the download link it tells me the file is temporarily unavailable... Anyone else have it? Could you attach it or post another mirror of it?

Works for me, I just tested it. Maybe there was a temporary issue with the MU servers.
I'll post up the red version..

My pleasure, it's fun making things like this because it keeps my skills sharp and serves a purpose.
The cyan version is incoming in a day or 2 I just got busy with some other stuff.
I am downloading the red one. My sister and I will love this! Thank you!
OK, now where do I copy this file?
I am running CM7 N107 from SD & don't find any of the folders mentioned. Do I need to be looking at the "Boot" partition? If so, that is only available to me if I put the SD card in my PC. Am I replacing a zip file, or installing this zip via booting into recovery? Please expand on the installation steps.
Thanks,
kev
installation
I didn't install this particular boot animation yet (but Dling ).
The way I accomplished this was to rename original bootanimation.zip to st else (old.bootanimation.zip).
Then copy new animation to the same folder as older one was. Reboot .
I found mine in root-system-media
/system/media
Hope this helps .
P.S. connect NC to PC via cable (or wifi), copy zip file to SD card. Disconnect, open file browser, copy or move zip file to the folder above to replace bootanimation.zip.
Oh one important thing - you need to have rooted NC and have root access - your file browser must have root privileges. I used ES explorer if I rememeber correctly.
Do not unzip or alter the .zip file.

Hi bug,
1) open E S File Explorer
2) set all the root options to enabled and press the home button upper left
it will show a little house when you are in the correct mode
3) scroll till you find the data folder and click on it
4) inside this first data folder will be a Local folder .. click on that to open (not the data folder within the data folder if you have one)
5) insert or copy the new bootanimation.zip over the old one
It's only a few clicks to get this done on a SDcard CM7 install. I'm not sure of the installation of custom boots on the other installs since I haven't used any of those yet.
How bout a cwm flashable zip? Would make the process of installing your boot animations a breeze. Ill try and prep one tomorrow mornning. Unless someone beats me to it. I hope someone does.

Thanks for your response. On my system, the bootanimation.zip is located in system/media.
Problem is when I try to rename the file or paste the new file in the folder I get " Sorry, operation failed."
I get a "failed to mount" when I select "mount File System" under settings.
At launch I saw a message that ES File Explorer had been granted SU Permissions. I am at a loss for what to do now.

Here is an easy solution/fix for those who wish to use AdAway v2.8 but end up getting stuck on the final step to enabling ad blocking, "Applying hosts file".
If you are trying to enable AdAway but are stuck on "Applying hosts file" as seen in the screenshot below, then please follow these very simple instructions.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
1. Download a root explorer. I prefer using Root Explorer because I think its the best file explorer on the android market. If you have problems with purchasing apps you can always use the free version Explorer, or if you prefer using another file explorer that's fine, just make sure it has root access enabled.
2. Once you have a file explorer installed that has root access enabled, navigate to "system/etc" and find the file labeled "hosts" as seen in the screenshot below.
3. Hold down/select the file labeled "hosts" and select "permissions" from the selection as seen in the screenshot below.
4. After selecting permissions a window should have popped up where you can change the permissions of the file as seen in the screenshot below.
4. Change the permissions of the hosts file to "rw-rw-rw" just like in the screenshot below. Hit "OK" to apply the permission changes and close the file explorer completely and head back over to AdAway.
5. Once you have AdAway back open, click "Download files and apply ad blocking" and try again. Depending on your internet connection it shouldn't take very long, but you should see something like this, hit "Yes".
6. After your phone has rebooted, open AdAway again and you should see something like this saying newest hosts files enabled.
Congratulations, AdAway is now working and ad blocking is enabled!
Thanks man, it worked great
Cheers for the post, was getting this issue on ASOB 1.3.2 rom & it was starting to get annoying, sometimes it would apply the HOSTS file after a reboot, other times it wouldn't
Thanks, this works for me too !
Thanks...Seems Adaway randomly breaks this permission.
Worked perfect thanks
The reason AdAway does that on newer android versions (some 4.3 roms and most all 4.4) is because of SELinux. If you change it to permissive, the Hosts file applies perfectly. Do so at your own risk, but I can't stand having it on my phone. Blocks too many fun things.

I just got a new app that I have to use every day and it places ads right above the keyboard. Was definitely not going to deal with that **** every day it was really distracting.

That's ridiculous. Not that you have to use the app, of course, but wtf...on top of the keyboard? Do they have a donate version that is ad-free at least? Not everyone has the option to root and disable them. What app is it?

It's not on TOP of the keyboard but directly above it. So when you're entering text input and trying to read what you wrote there's a blaring ad right below your text.
Incredibly obnoxious. The app is called "Awoken" and it's when you make a new entry in the dream journal: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lucid_dreaming.awoken

Ah ok. Well, at least you can opt out of them buy purchasing the premium version of it. I'd probably just do the AdAway option too, but the premium version does have the dark theme which would probably make it worth it to me. I much prefer white text on black backgrounds.
What also works for me is the same steps but just change to read-write and then apply adaway

Still having problems - you can try this
Had the same issue on my HTC Desire running 4.4.2 OmniRom by Spezi77
I followed all the steps outlined in the OP, but still Adaway was stuck while applying the host file
Finally, managed to get it to work by disabling the toast notification for Adaway in SuperSU.
The original solution has been posted here (towards the end)
On step 3: Using Explorer, I don't have a Permissions option when I select my hosts file. I also couldn't find an alternative File Manager with that option and I can't figure out why it isn't available for myself.
I know I'm probably missing something obvious here. Any ideas?
I installed root explorer -free version just to reprodcue your problem. Yes, I get the same on step 3 - it only shows the properties of the host file. I think this is partly because the program does not ask for root permissions. With SuperSu i couldn't manually grant root permissions to it.
I would suggest you to use "ES file explorer" instead. When you open this program, access the left menu. Open tools and scroll down to find root explorer option. Now in the app click on the button next to it to switch it on. The program will now ask for root permissions from your super user program. Grant there rights. Then you have to click on the word root explorer and you will get a popup menu. In this menu you have to next to the /system select RW option. This will allow you to make changes to system.
Now close this left menu, and navigate to the hosts file and set the permissions. When you long press on the file you will get similar options as listed in the original post.
You can switch off the root explorer option when you are done.

Still hangs on parsing and merging .....
Thank you! :good:
That has resolved the problem, that Adaway was not able to update the Host File.
Hey everyone, I tried the instructions here using both Root Explorer and ES Explorer but similar message on both explorers.
On Root Explorer "Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems (e.g. SD card) do not allow permission changes
On ES Explorer "Sorry, operation failed."
Can anyone shed some light on these errors for me please. Thank you.
N.B. I am using the Huawei Y330
