Blockbuster on evo

Is it possible to get the blockbuster app off of the droid x and install it on the evo? There are a whole lot of movies on there and i don't know if there is a way to play movies on the evo. Also i want to hook it up to my hdtv and watch movies on there.

Yes it is possible to get off the droid but no it does not install.

Can you send me a link to the APK? I doubt it'll install with the traditional manner, but it may be able to be pushed.

Does not push either. I have tried. Also tried dlna as well. doing a few of the nonblur apps at a time to test.

now working on evo!!!
my friend said the market had the blockbuster app accidentally for a couple hours then they pulled it...saying it is not ready for other carriers yet...but he said it downloaded, installed and even worked!!!! (although, he said it force closes often and the quality doesn't seem that great) ...i am trying to get it from him, but it may take a while ...he is a noob trying to figure out how to get it and send it. any tips for him?? (we are going to try titanium backup)

I downloaded it yesterday and deleted it 10 minutes later.

All download links of the blockbuster app have been removed

i got it
i got it, it installed... and i activated (online though)...I EVEN RENTED A MOVIE!!! ok, but it wouldn't download so, no go. not many force closes...it said
" DOWNLOAD FAILED" ...No compatible profile available for download. My profile in the app is set at portable...but i must need some droidx permissions or something

Is there anyway to pull the permissions from the DroidX dump?? I have the original blockbuster app from that, along w/ the rest of the dump but have no clue where to look for the additional files that may be needed to install so it thinks i am on a droidx...if this is even possible.

Quadrant does work. I installed both. Advanced had no textures for a few runs, then they appeared ok. Standard worked from the start.

Tetris from Electronic Arts doesn't work neither, but it doesn't work with any Gingerbread device.

Indeed. As a matter of course i install ROM manager, even if there is no support yet for my phone, and always run the 'fix permissions' option. It seems to greatly reduce these sort of failures.

Strange, I bought it and then it crashed every time, and looked up and it was said Tetris crashed on Gingerbread. So already refunded myself :/.
Edit: installed a pirated version and that works /: Don't wanna buy & not working

{REQ}Netflix Port From HTC Evo 4G/Nexus

Netflix has released the app for the Evo and Nexus S but not for the Epic. Would anyone be able to port it over to the Epic?

The app itself appears to be working fine, it doesn't allow you stream movies/TV.

No, streaming and everything is working perfectly well on the evo. It just has not been released for the epic

yes...i know that

From what I gather you need to edit the build.prop for it to work, well at least for the Captivate it does:

Yep. Just read this on AndroidPolice here..
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/05/12/good-news-everyone-trick-the-netflix-app-into-thinking-your-rooted-device-is-supported/
Anyone try it yet on the Epic? I don't use netflix, but once I can get it streaming on my phone, I might have to sign up.

See signature...
Just attempted. I get audio for afew secs ten it crashes back to que. Get longer audio in portrait, landscape is just a blurp... resolution/video problem?
Its soooooo close....
New app is cooler too. I use it to manage que anyways.

The referenced Android Police article involves a change to build.prop to make the phone report itself as an HTC G2. Considering that the Epic and Nexus S are both Galaxy S variants on Sprint with 4G, I am curious as to whether it would be preferable to use:
ro.product.model=Nexus S 4G
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

just tried the Nexus S. get device not supported and app crashes on login.
edit: HTC Vision no longer gives me device not supported. but app still crashes on login.
also: swype refuses to swipe words with the build.prop change. can any one else confirm?
The very first release never crashed but since the first update it's never worked.
It might just be the rom though.

confirmed swype doesnt work after build.prop change to nexus s

Thanks for that app. It works perfectly on my wife's evo. I wish we could have it.
Sent From My Evo Killer!

I had copied build.prop to the SD card, edited in a terminal emulator using vi, used some command line magic to copy it to the system folder, then rebooted the phone. After starting the Netflix app, it notified me that this phone was unsupported, then force closed after a login attempt.

Interesting they made the app for the evo over the epic at the very least released both at the same time collectively aren't there more galxy s devices over the evo...

first modify /system/build.prop
replace the like values with the below
Code:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
**** ro.build.fingerprint=sprint/htc_supersonic/supersonic/supersonic:2.2/FRF91/252548:user/release-keys
only add this line and comment ou the other if you dont already have the apk
then reboot the phone and go to market and install netflix.
do NOT load it.
once installed open up adb shell and as root
Code:
cd /data/data/com.netflix.mediaclient/lib/
cp libnetflix_device1.so libnetflix_device1.so.bak
cp libnetflix_device2.so libnetflix_devicex.so
cp libnetflix_device2.so libnetflix_device1.so
you will now be able to sign into netflix, view whats available and manage your queue.
but cant watch movies, in most of the ec05 and eb13's that we have it gives an issues with being unable to enumerate OMX device drm.play
if you install stock odin EC05(just the raw stock flash with nothing done) it will say that it throws an java exception and will just freeze lock
if you flash ED12 it works perfectly out of the box(but ed12 has issues)
Still working on it.
PS the above build.prop edit works for the nook colour and viewsonic Gtab and a host of other CM7 based devices as well.

All of the above is completely unnecessary if all you want to do is open the app and view your queue. It will do that without modification.

not on the epic it wont.
itll tell you first that its not in the market
then itll tell you its not for this phone
then itll just exit out to homescreen once you login.

Deja vu...

Isn't Netflix available in the market?

[Q] SamsungApps

I'm not sure if this has been talked about or not.
I tried to search & came up empty.
I recently switched from EC05 Bonsia to CleanGB MTD.
I am trying to put the finishing touches on rebuilding the phone & when I tried to used SamsungApps it wouldn't connect, says no network connection.
Does this program no longer work under Gingerbread?
Or is there a newer version?
I restored a backup from EC05 (I know BAD!!) that's all I had for that app.
Looking at Samsung's site it looks like the Epic is no longer supported.
Anyone have any input

just keep trying, i had the same issue. and it worked on wed.

Thanks, you were right. I had been trying for a few days before I posted & it finally picked up this morning & wanted to update. Now it works fine.

Are you guys getting a bunch of what looks like full games in there but they say for SGSII only? I wonder if there is anyway to get those running...

Does anyone have the apk for the SamsungApps that works for our phone?

Yes, I can see several I'd like to try, but it wil not download them because it says for SGS2 only.
The game is in the market for the Epic so if there is a way to get it to start the download they should work, I would think. Samsung wants everyone to get the new product.
Anyone have any ideas on how to trick the SamsungApps into downloading these?

Ok, got it.....
I pulled the apk out of my phone, I am running CleanGB MTD 1.0.3 & the apk just updated, so it should be current.
I hope this helps ya......

Thanks, I actually had that apk but it wasn't working. So I thought maybe someone had a different one. Turned out I was just being dense and was trying to install it on CM7 and it wasn't working. Once I switched to another ROM it worked. Thanks again!

Angry birds & Seasons, and Riptide are full add free versions.
NFS Shift and Bejewled are 60minute trials (lame). Post if you find any more full titles.
As for the sgs2 games, I'm thinking a build.prop hack might allow those to install but I haven't had time to try yet. Basically just like how a bunch of us got 50gig box accounts for "LG phones"

[Q] Instagram Android on Kindle Fire 6.3

Hello!
I've been using Instagram on my Kindle Fire running version 6.2 (works great!); however I have a reader on my site that left a comment that Instagram keeps Force Closing upon opening - he's running 6.3.
So...I was wondering if any of you folks might be able to help us out - does Instagram work well with Kindle Fire running firmware 6.3?
Thank you in advance!!
Cheers

Just installed it on mine to test it out for you. Works perfectly for me.

My commenter reports that he's still having the same Force Close issue across all 3 versions of Instagram (1.0 to 1.0.3) as well...ugh. Has anyone been able to circumvent the bug by any chance?
Much appreciated!

Yeah unfortunately a couple of our readers had the same issues. There was one success report by a reader, however, who shared what she did that eventually got Instagram to work. Unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce the success with our other readers.
Pretty much what she did was, she tried enabling Google Play on her Kindle Fire and in the process, she needed to restart the Kindle. After a couple restarts, Instagram magically started working.
I followed instructions on this video (Youtube "How To Install Google Music / Play On Your Kindle Fire!" v=6TcQPFHd9G4) and they provided download links to their apk files. Wish I could remember if I shut the kindle down any other time I tried to get Instagram to work; but after loading these apk files, that may have been the first time I shut it down completely...?
Bets of luck to your readers!

This procedure did not work with our other readers but I hope this works with yours! Looks very non-technical and does seem like a fluke but hey, it worked for our reader, M.
Good luck and please let us know if you get it work somehow!
