I originally posted this in the Optimus S forums and a few users have tried it and verified that it works, so here you go Optimus V!
It is very simple to get Hulu+ streaming to your Optimus if you follow these directions.
Read everything before reporting any issues. Realize that some ROMs contain an ad blocking host file within the ROM. See below for more.
Follow directions exactly!
If it doesn't work, you need to try it again. Some have reported that sometimes it takes more than one try. Just delete everything and start over if you get "unsupported device" error when opening the program.
Requirements: Titanium Backup (app from market - free), phone rooted.
This is tested and confirmed on CM7 port. There is no reason it shouldn't work on froyo based ROMs.
Process:
1. Download attached file.
2. Unzip files. Only unzip the file that I have attached. Don't unzip the files within the zip (ie the tar.gz files - leave those alone)
3. Place the three files in the /sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder on your sdcard (if you don't have this folder already, backup something using TB and it will appear).
4. Open Titanium Backup and restore Hulu+ app AND data. <---- This is important to do app+data!!
5. Enjoy Hulu on your phone.
Issues:
-The main screen has a glitch that looks weird when the app is loaded. Doesn't cause any performance issues and doesn't effect the app itself. Just a visual thing.
-If you are running an Ad blocking app, Hulu will not work. Hulu uses ads and if you have an ad blocker (whether it be an app or the files are programmed into the ROM you use) Hulu WILL NOT WORK!
Solution: If you have the Adfree app, you can open it and click revert hosts. Once you have done that, reboot and you can use Hulu and stream to your phone.
If anyone has questions, please post. If I missed something, please point it out. Enjoy!
