Edit: dropbox killed my link apparently, so here is another. Sorry about that peeps. One thing: this package contains amend update script, which is not supported by clockworkmod recovery 3.0 and above. If you have clockworkmod 3.0 and above, see lucas.scott's thread.. that package contains edify script updater, and should work with cwm 3.

I know many of you have tried to flash the original flashable zip installer for Hulu and Flash 10 (from lucas.scott's post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939500) on EB01 and it hasn't worked (including me). That's because the update script and Binary that was included in that zip isn't compatible with voodoo lagfix turned on. If you turn voodoo off, the old installer will probably work fine. All I've done is removed the update-binary file and changed the update script so that it works for us now for EB01 voodoo. The update-binary/updater-script method of creating flashable zips is not as cross-compatible as the update-script format.. The flashable zip that I've included should be compatible with all other froyo builds for the fascinate, including DL30. And while I don't know this for sure, I believe it will work for most other phones on Froyo that use ClockworkMod Recovery as their recovery as well. If you know otherwise, please correct me.
Remember that anything you do to your phone is your fault. I'm not responsible for anything that goes wrong. There is a risk to anything you do when using any sort or recovery on your phone, and while this file is virtually harmless, it's always good to make a nandroid backup before modding your phone in any way. This is tested on DL30 and EB01 and works fine, but it never hurts to play it safe.
Also, the original Hulu.apk that was included in the flash_hulu_installer_v3.zip was version .3 of the Hulu app, and it did not allow for screen rotation. I replaced the Hulu app included in the zip with Hulu 1.0, which does allow for screen rotation and full-screen viewing. The separate install of Hulu.apk that lucas.scott attached to his post is not needed here.

And credit to nc2nc2 over in the epic 4g forums, who seems to have done most of the work getting this to work for the epic and, indirectly, the fascinate.

Don't go to hulu.com to watch hulu after flashing this in Recovery. You still can't watch hulu shows from your browser by going to hulu.com (at least not from stock browser). This zip installs an app that you open and watch hulu from. So instead of using browser, look in your app drawer for an app called Hulu. Open it and try watching something from within the app. Should work just fine then.

The other version worked fine for me on EB01. Just had to go into the market and uninstall updates for Flash.
After reading more comments on Lucas.Scott's original thread, it appears that the old installer works fine if you're not using voodoo lagfix. So you probably dont have voodoo enabled and thats why it worked. The zip I included, however, will work with voodoo enabled and disabled, so for those that have voodoo enabled, this is what you need to get the zip installed correctly.
Worked fine for me but took two installs? Thanks SO much for this!

Just tried installing on my roommates Droid X and it flashed fine in CWMR but Hulu wont allow him to watch anything, has a little puzzle piece in the box....any ideas...
Flash zip uninstall updates in market and open hulu.com with dolphin HD. Uh I'm not sure this was meant to work on Droid x as this install is for a voodoo kernel and droids don't have voodoo kernels. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

Are you using the hulu app to watch hulu, or are you trying to watch hulu by going to hulu.com in stock browser? The app should let you watch hulu fine, but stock browser won't work because hulu.com can detect that you are on an android device (because stock browser does not allow you to fake your user agent like xscope or dolphin browsers will.. you just have to change your user agent setting in one of these browsers to mac or pc or something other than android), and as of right now hulu does not allow android devices to view flash videos on the site. That is why we need the hulu.apk.. it fakes user agent and allows us to watch anything from hulu.com. Some 3rd party browsers would probably work too, however.

Although I made it for the voodoo fascinate users, since the old installer didn't work on voodoo'd EB01, it should be compatible with most any phone that is running froyo and has ClockworkMod Recovery.

I rooted my Nook a couple weeks ago, but I did not debloat. However, when a notification to update Netflix came up, I think I did the update. Now, the sound is not quite in sync with the picture. Is there a way to tell if I am using the "special" Netflix that came loaded on the NT or if I am using the standard Android Market downloaded app? I'm truthfully not sure that the out-of-sync issue started after this update, but I know it was not there prior when I originally got the NT and watched a couple of videos prior to rooting.
Edit:
Oh, and I did the update while at the GoLauncher home, not the NT home (if that matters). Also, the Amazon viewer does not have this issue at all and works great (after doing the temporary unroot thingy).
I am using the stock Nook app (i.e. not from the android market) and I noticed an out of sync video the other day. I don't know if it has anything to do with the app though. Haven't really looked into it otherwise.
I was watching Netflix on my computer last night and it was all out of sync, I wonder if it is a Netflix issue and not a NT issue?
Watched a show on my computer at lunch and watching a show on my TV thru the Roku right now and both synced perfectly.
I've noticed some shows and videos (sometimes) are like this, try another movie, could be just a temporary problem since netflix is working well on my nt.
This is a problem that I've run into on all of my streaming devices with Netflix. If you go into your account (on the Netflix website) and look at your recently watched list, you can report Audio/Video sync issues.
I've got to believe it's an app (or app plus device) issue since the same movie streams fine on my computer and Roku. Checked my wifi on the NT with Speedtest and I got 16 mb/s download speed, so I doubt that is any problem either.
Does anyone know if it's even possible to update over the "stock" NT Netflix app?

I haven't heard that, but it makes sense. However Netflix is installed to /system/app by default (by B&N), so you'd have to move it out if you wanted updates.

So it sounds like I still have the stock app. Has anyone else had problems with the audio being slightly out of sync.
On my NT it goes out of sync for the first 30 secs maybe then usually catches up.

I am on rooted stock 1.4.0 and the Market is suddenly showing a Netflix update for me.
Very strange. I'd prefer to keep the stcok version.
Just watched 30 minutes of Airplane on the new Netflix app, works great! Im 999 rooted, not Cm7 presently.
I'm also getting an update message from the stock netflix app. Anyone know if i should upgrade? It won't replace the stock version with the market version or anything, will it?

I wish I knew. For now, I'm not going to. I have unchecked the auto update option and that seems to have prevented it so far. Just have to make sure I don't accidentally hit it when I have other updates to process.
Unrooted new nook and audio vidio sync
My new nook which I have yet to operate on has had a/v sync issues with some movies from Netflix. So I suspect it is them, not the NT.
One other thing I have noticed is frequent pauses for buffering, like every five minutes. It is running through our home WiFi (which I use through the TV with a Wii, which will pause for uploading maybe two to four times during the movie.) Do others have this? Is there any remedy for this, or will an SD card help?
every time i reboot my nook, it says there's an update for netflix in the market. no matter if i update or not it always goes back to the stock app. i have the same problem with pandora and hulu plus only i have two copies of pandora and hulu plus has been uninstalled more times than i can remember. any fixes?
I am pretty sure stock version comes in 1080p as where the market is not, however Im not completely sure just use titanium to make a back of the original and then freeze it, install the market version and check out the difference your self, if you find it to not to work out as well uninstall and restore the version that came with your nook.

I don't feel ICS is worth it yet. Too many incompatible apps that will not launch or start at all in ICS or crashes.
I have not yet found a single app that I use that doesn't function.
I've heard something about Instagram that doesn't work on our ICS Sense 3.6 leak, but I don't use that.
And I haven't seen anyone else making posts like this, so the issue lies with your own device I believe.
Try doing a superwipe and then a fresh install, and not reinstalling apps through various backup apps (Like Titanium Backup, MyBackup, etc) as that can sometimes cause issues like the ones you're describing.

There are "incompatible" apps that won't download (app makers fault for not updating) but will still run on ICS with no issues. At Bat 12 paid app will not download because it says it is incompatible, but I restored from my Titanium Backup from my GB ROM and it runs just fine.

Every one of my apps works perfectly fine on ICS, except for iHeartRadio. It starts up and runs fine, but it likes to just close out every once in a while, either while I'm listening to it or when I have it paused for a while.
Hulu Plus is my only issue.
When I flashed 4.0.3, I did so with CF root 5.3. This caused me tons of issues with apps (12 vanished and would not let me reinstall). After flashing CF root 5.4, the problem went away. So, probably most issues are related to how you root the device (if you did so).
Like I said in my previous post, only Flext9 crashes/freezes and can't be used. Too bad because someone recommended this keyboard to me and I wanted to test it.

Hi all.
Hopefully there's some info that someone can pass along, as I've not found it in my searches through the forums (or general search online). Maybe I missed it somewhere.
I have two sets of bluetooth headphones. Both have the ability to control the tracks while playing music (next, FF, back, etc...). They both worked great on my Streak, and DID work the same with my Note when I first got it...but...I might have accidentally deleted some important file.
I'd really like this functionality back.
I tried using Odin to reinstall the OS (GB) over itself to see if that would put those (supposed) missing files back, but it doesn't seem to have worked.
I'm running stock 2.3.6 GB

I've had certain roms that just don't work right, my bt has caller ID as well, some roms it works, some don't. Sometimes unpairing and repairing fixes it.
Sorry it took so long to reply back to your replies...tight weekend. Thank you guys.
It worked with both headsets when I first got the phone, and I have tried both again in testing this time around. Still stock (besides root, custom kernel, and CWR...no custom ROM).
Bluetooth does in fact work with no problems with phone to phone file transferring, Jawbone earpiece, and connecting to the car's system.
I have also tried unpairing and repairing. That didn't work.
The one thing I haven't tried is a full wipe. I thought installing without wiping might resolve it.
I guess I might have to start from scratch, huh?
Sent from my Mental 'Note'.
So you guys were right. Full wipe did the trick. Thank you.
The only thing is, I deleted stock apps (and bloat) that I didn't need or want (as I believe most people do), and now it doesn't work again. There must be some app within those I deleted that is necessary for this to work correctly.
I'll have to attempt one more time and delete one by one and test after each to see which it is.

Is is fesiable for me to grab the EOS apk and move it into this Rom an see if it works?
I am also thinking that something like LMK might be able to work too, but would have to be worked via mouse inputs not touch..
Any pointers in the right direction would be great thanks..

Anyone who want's to use on screen NavBar buttons, he's lucky! (at least compared to ICS).
Now, by adding in
the line
you get the navigation bar (after reboot) and at the same time Android system recognizes this and adds the three dot menu icon whenever needed*!
If you want to disable the hardware keys, edit the file
These are the three hardware buttons
Add a # before any you don't wan't to use any more. I did for 158 and 139 and left my Home button working.
There is a mod** (flash it in recovery) which makes the bar almost half the size. It's better looking and less space is wasted but it does get some time to get used to it and you might need a couple of tries sometimes when trying to hit those buttons.
*This wasn't the case for ICS.

Haven't had much time to put it through its paces as been travelling for work.
But here are some thoughts on it so far..
I have just upgraded to "update_Mygica_20130314.img"
http://up.stdvr.com/mygica/android/A...a_20130314.img
Like the new bigger pointer for the mouse, also it seems to have brought back the remote controls as I had lost those but I still have to manually turn it off.
I swap out the Chinese launcher with Apex launcher - Apex runs nicely and can back up all the settings and screens so are happy with this.
Speeds and Kernel controls :
As pretty much the same as the M1-M3 box's - until we have developers that are hacking these to suit our needs we are locked in the the Geniatech/MyGicia/Privos setting's - Which I hope in the not to distant future we get some of the phone/Tablet kernel guru's turning up and opening these kernels up for us to adjust the speeds in which these can run.
Using CPU Master I am able to get it to run @ 1540 after boot but the settings don't stick and from the readings I have done this is in the way they have setup the Init.d..
What is Init.d?

How I do it -XBMC-addons
As I seem to be installing multi-able versions of XMBC and or firmware upgrades, I have now got a set pattern in which I can reset most of my fav addons back up.. it maybe a little long winded for some but works for me as I find that I lose addons if I don't keep track of them thus I have them saved to a NAS drive. I access them via this method to re-setup.
1: Load the NAS directory up using CIF manager.
2: In XBMC -Go in to "System-Addons-install from zip
3: Go in to "Root file system" then "mnt" then 'cifs' then a 'XBMC' directory where I keep a backup of all my depositories that I use. ( over the last 12 months I have collected a nice bunch of them from around the traps)
Remotes:
Droidmote : I had it going the first time I set the box up in a hotel room using my Asus portable wifi router and had the accelerometer working nicely on a few games. but since I have been back to my home network I have not been able to get it to work - just tested it with that modem again and its not working, so i would say the uniput needs to be loaded up via a script again. Will play with it when get time.

just haven't had enough time to play.

Here is the rockchip.mediacenter app which goes on to the box. Plus in this zip is the other apk's you need.
If someone gets it going post back and let us how..
Import the TB backup file via TB backup.. either via the TB program or "open as" if you are running TB it should give you this option.. as thats how I got it to import in to mine..

Chinese TV apks
As I am here in the middle kingdom- I have to have things to entertain the guests so found this bundle - I am not sure how many will work outside of China but some are actually pretty good once you get the hang of how to use them. (no my Chinese is not that great).. a lot will update so this is normal.. just work out which is "yes" and which is "no"
(Will post the link once its loaded to Dropbox)
here's a link to addons for chinese tv within XBMC

ok.. a few problems of it locking up.
Cant pin it down to anyone one thing as yet..
Doesn't seem to get hot so thats not it as I have a USB laptop fan under it, seems to be when I change out to another input on the TV and or I leave it idle for some time, kinda goes in to sleep and not come out it.. got to reboot.
Another thing on the lastest MyGica roms is the lack of Home' 'Back' 'Search' 'Back' 'Recent Task' 'Menu' buttons.
so at the moment I am using this and it does the trick.

New firmware..
http://www.geniatech.com/down-eng/androidtvbox/update_spi_mx_20130326.zip
http://www.geniatech.com/down-eng/androi...130326.zip
Downlload and don't unzip, copy to SD card or USB disk, connect to the box and run upgrade->local update, select the SPI file to update first, after finished, it will restart the box, then, do the same steps to update the firmware, and XBMC is still xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-20130223.apk.
Above is a new firmware for Geniatech's dual core box, it fixed 4:3/16:9 aspect ratio and android bar problems of XBMC.

Upgraded to this one today.. Working smoothly.
Haven't had time to play with XBMC builds on it but was streaming off PPTV most of the day..
Not sure if it was the box or the network.. Seemed to encounter the ethernet problem after about 2 hours where the stream was caught up.
Switched out to wifi and ran the same stream for a while.. Then switched back to ethernet and no problems.. Maybe a net problem and or that old bug is still hanging round..
Overall zippy as hell but I am also running the Seeder app to keep the Random Entropy up to 4096.
We can clock up to 1512mhz and change out to performance governor but min seems to be locked in at 48mhz which seems a bit low.
But with that being said.. It shows that it actually sits down between 72mhz & 336mhz on low loads.
Navigation buttons are back plus a new screen shot one..
I also noticed in settings there is a new EASYLINK option.. Maybe some like a new remote control app or airplay?
Anyone got info on it?

has anybody used the component out on a mygica atv1200? i swear the blue and green are reversed. i've tried 2 sets of cables. i hooked from mygica to computer and tv. both will not display until i put blue cable in green and green in blue on the mygica box.. and obviously when i do this it messes up the colors. has anyone else noticed this? i tried taking out the hdmi as well and got the same results. i'd love it if someone could confirm i'm either right, or i simply have a bad box. thanks. i've also tried with different firmwares. including the 3/26. i'm now on 1/15.
Did anybody try that DroidMote server. I think I have problem with that uinput. I've downloaded it and made som changes with terminal emulator following instructions, still no moves... Please advice...
make sure it is rooted and goto the system folder and edit build.prop and add a line of code on a new line at the bottom:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
and reboot the device to get those buttons.

Works out of the box for me..
One thing I do is test the network I am on..
i.e test it with my TF-001 to make sure its working, then test it on the ATV1200.
As my other box I had to do some mods on it to get it to work..
but overall works great.. play a few games with it..

Thanks for answer. It works nice on the new firmware!
Another question. I faced to weird shutdowns during normal operation (browsing, video playing). It happens very frequently and I did everything, updated firmware, did several resets - no success. Any suggestions what it might be?
ADD
I found that it was not device issue but my TV set... It works smoothly on my neighbour's TV. If I could only know that they'll be incompatible... TV Firmware update - no success. Buying new TV for my box is ridiculous

How I do it -XBMC-addons
As I seem to be installing multi-able versions of XMBC and or firmware upgrades, I have now got a set pattern in which I can reset most of my fav addons back up.. it maybe a little long winded for some but works for me as I find that I lose addons if I don't keep track of them thus I have them saved to a NAS drive. I access them via this method to re-setup.
1: Load the NAS directory up using CIF manager.
2: In XBMC -Go in to "System-Addons-install from zip
3: Go in to "Root file system" then "mnt" then 'cifs' then a 'XBMC' directory where I keep a backup of all my depositories that I use. ( over the last 12 months I have collected a nice bunch of them from around the traps)

dgcruzing/anyone,
i am trying to use the cifs manager app on my atv1200 but it seems i need a "cifs.ko" file or the app won't work.
Where did you get the cifs.ko file?
any help gratefully received, thanks.

Bear' before I reply I need to check my setup again to see what is what..
Just shifted cities here in China so its been a big few weeks..
I have got the box working into the Synology NAS and it is working without me playing with the CIFs setup.
But I have used the Networking program that came with the firmware and set it to auto mount the video and TV folders on the NAS.
I also need to find some time to setup XBMC again due to this new update.
And also test the new internet connection I have got..

well thanks for this initial reply.
i have not been able to get cifs manager to work at all without a cifs.ko module. i have got an smb share connected in xbmc, but it seems unreliable.
anyone know how to get cifs manager working on this type of box (geniatech/mygica), i think i need to download the cifs.ko mdule but i don't know where to get it.
any new dgcruzing?
how did you get cifs manager working?

i used Mount Manager from the PlayStore and it worked flawlessly
I am getting a Green light on the box and it won't respond anymore. This happens when I leave it sit for a while. Any help? Seems to be some kind of sleep or standby, but it won't wake from it unless I unplug it and then plug it back in.
Try a firmware upgrade..dont know what you are on..but only go to 05 - 4.1.2 dont go to 4.2.2 unless you are prepared for troubles..
We have plenty on it over @ xbmc.org threads

I have bought this box 3 days ago. Now i habe a Problem. When i use the droitmode app and use the multitouch swipe , the indicator stays in the screen. It does not disappear. I am in the latest Firmware. Plus i cant update the busybox. After updating my Firmware is totally screwed.
Are there any custom roms for this box?
Thanks for your help
