Hulu App: G2 CM7 - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I get this app to work on my G2? I'm rooted and running CM7 2.3.7. I have an identical G2 with the same program on it running the same mod and hulu works on it. I would be using that phone but the volume button is broken so I had to root this one I have now to replace it. I don't understand why it runs on a rooted G2 before but doesn't on this new one I have. The only difference I see when I go to "About Phone" is the Baseband Version.
The baseband version on the one that works is 12.28h.60.140fU_26.06.02.27_M
The baseband version on the one that doesn't work is 12.22.60.09bU_26.02.01.15_M2
Is this a factor?
Is there a patch? A zip file of some sort or a work around Cyan has found to fix this?

What do you mean "work"? Are you not able to install it or run the app or watch shows? If you can't watch shows, it's probably because you need to have subscribed to Hulu Plus and then logged into the app.

In their defense, you didn't actually specify what was/wasn't happening; they were just trying to get intput in order to help you narrow down the problem/solution.

You can't use the hulu "app" without a subscription.

WOW ... sorry ... I don't know what I said but I didn't mean to offend you.
I've been looking around and there doesn't really seem to be a clear answer for those peoples issues with Hulu Plus.
One of the simplest fixes appears to be turning off any Ad-Block apps you have running. Make sure after you turned that app off that you reboot your phone at least once to make sure that the app is turned off.
A lot of the other fixes for Hulu appear to only be to play it through the browser.

Amazon MP3 updated...finally

Amazon MP3 has an update, and it doesn't automatically start anymore. I know most of you still consider it "bloatware", but at least they made an effort.
I updated and rebooted. Sure enough, no Amazon MP3 running in the background. Nice.
New in v1.8.29:
* “Auto-resume downloads” (was “Monitor connection”) setting is disabled by default
* App no longer starts in the background unless “Auto-resume downloads” is enabled or device language changes
Not bad at all, thanks for the update

anybody else having problems with the android xda app

is anyone else using the xda app here I can't get it to do much of anything once I log in.
Since updating to 2.0.71 from 1.0.84 the xda app has been pretty much useless.
It force closes often while trying to view threads and ALWAYS force closes on exit if I'm logged in so it loses the login data. Start up time is also excessive.
Had no problems on the 2.1 firmware whatsoever.
Market problem? Firmware problem? App problem?
Confirmed... alas, it didn't work from the start, even with 2.1.
Same problems here.

It never worked for me, either. I remember with my Eris that when we got Froyo we had to use an older version of XDA for a while. My first Archos died before i could investigate, and i just got my replacement yesterday. I will try to find an older version.
If anyone has an older one they could post...Im too scared to search the XDA forums with any of these keywords "xda, apk, developer, application"...
Xda app is never work once I logged in, failed.
I use tapatalk, working perfectly on my A70IT. Xda app is based on tapatalk, it looks identical.

I have two Android tablets, an Archos 101 and a Zenithink ZT-180. Neither one works with the newer XDA application - FC after a few clicks. This older version does run, though devoid of most features that makes it useful. Is anyone embarassed?
Bye.
It's a shame,the new version is so much better,the old version works but lacks off all the practical features ,is this apply even in further development or is it frozen.

Mine was choppy and didn't display images till i rebooted. then it worked just fine.
also if you're rooted you can try to wipe market data in titanium backup and reboot. or wipe cache and reboot and try that.
Works pretty dam good on non-rooted stock.
Video is nice and smooth. Couldn't really tell I was streaming on mobile data. (Which was probably 4g)

dang! Im running the pyro rom but cant get this to install. it just says "Application not installed" anyone has any ideas how to fix this?
Anyone having issues updating apps? I've had 2 apps now show up in the 'update' heading, but when u click thru to the app the top dialogue boxes are 'open' and 'uninstall', as if that page doesn't recognize that there's an update.
Once 2 apps were available for updating, the "update 2" button comes up and it allows me to hit it. 1 of the 2 updated. the other still won't. Tried wiping Market data and rebooting, no luck. bleh.
UPDATE: Well after doing several reboots and etc. etc., I just simply went back to the file (From this thread) and re-installed the market again. Now the 'update' button shows up! Not sure what I did but it works now.

NFL mobile on rooted devices

I figured I would start a thread on this. NFL mobile is no longer working on rooted devices. Disabling root and hide my root are not working for me to get it working (stocked rooted md4 and moar).
Reverting does work still so here is the previous version:

Does your device show NORMAL under STATUS>DEVICE STATUS? I have TPR modded to set status back to NORMAL. NFL app just updated and still works fine.
Updated app doesn't work for me either. Not that it matters espn.com shows all the same info. Now of it was the streaming verison like Verizon, I'd be singing a different tune.
Running most up to date MOAR and device shows normal in the menu.

Yes that is really weird. I saw the notice that the app updated and figured it would be dead, but it came right up with no issue.
Can someone post the updated app? Please. I want to see of it works for me. And how do you get it to work if its for Verizon only?
EDIT: So I thought this was NFL Mobile that is exclusive to Verizon. Not the Game center thing.

however looking at the app, it says NFL Mobile from Verizon? Not sure if they all do but it's the same app in the market. I don't have a non-rooted phone to compare it with lol.
It's there a flash able zip that changes status on phone from modified to normal ?

The modified status doesn't seem to be the issue as my moar ROM is set as normal. I'm assuming something else deeper in the ROM.

Apparently not so inexplicably...lol. Now if someone can find out what the app is looking for (logcat?) and why TPR is working someone can make a bypass of the root check. I am pretty sure MOAR uses Supersu like TPR and not Superuser, so it is not that.

You will see the update and it will prompt to install but it will fail because the OTA's are very sensitive to change. They require the exact stock rom from the latest version before kitkat i believe. Since youve removed the Zappos app, it will definitely fail. This is why majority are going back to stock just to get the kit-kat update.

Really you just need to use RSDLite to return to stock. Depending on all you have done you may need to modify the .XML file in the image, but its very easy and just uses Notepad.
