Hi everyone,
I though it'd be helpful to at least attempt to centralize the discussion on this, since everything's a little spread out. To summarize what I think we know so far:
1) Netflix streaming DOES NOT WORK on our G2 when running CM7-stable.
2) Netflix streaming DOES work on a G2 running stock 2.2.
3) Netflix streaming DOES work on a G2 running CM7-RC2.
4) Netflix streaming DOES work on other devices running CM7-stable.
5) Netflix streaming DOES work on UNSUPPORTED devices running CM7-stable, such as the Nook Color, when the build.prop is spoofed to replicate OUR PHONE.
Given the above facts, I thought it would be appropriate to submit this to bug tracker. If you think it deserves it, you can star the issue here - http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3723. I also think that if possible, further discussion should happen within this specific topic (or some other centralized one), so that people aren't out of luck by not happening to find the one topic in a dozen where progress was made.
I played a video using my nook, then tried with the G2, and collected logs via DDMS. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to filter just for errors or not, so I didn't - these are the raw log files, attached here.
EDIT - I had to save the G2 log in word, because it was too big of a .txt file.
hmm.. i tried Netflix on my G2 lastnight after reverting to CM7 RC2 and had the same problem. I'll try again tonight though, this time i'll uninstall the app, clear cache and flash CM7 RC2 and then reinstall app
I thought I read somewhere that people were saying it DOES work on the leaked T-Mobile Gingerbread build for G2. So it's something directly related to CM7 itself. I'm running nightly 74 and it does not work.

I've actually tried it on the leaked Gingerbread ROM and it didn't work there either. It did however give me a blank white screen instead of a black screen though. I have gotten it to work on my G2 on both stock 2.2 and CM6. I also have a Defy running CM7 (not a stable build) and it works perfectly on it. It's got to be some combination of Gingerbread and the G2.

Yes, this is exactly why. Not sure the exact reason why. Nexus one and nexus s are only ones that work on gingerbread.
Does anyone have a prop file for the nexus one running android 2.3? Maybe that would work for us the same way the g2 prop file worked for g2x users?

Been stated by people in the know (not me), that it's not a build/identifying issue. It's a rom issue. The rom developer will have to re-work the rom.

Well, might be, but just sounds odd that people are using the g2 build.prop to get Netflix working on other devices not even supported by Netflix yet. I'm not saying its the build.prop and certainly sounds like a ROM issue but that just strikes me as odd.

How do you get the logs? Any way you can make the g2 logs a regular .doc or .txt?

I have DDMS open while I run the app and try to play something, and just note where the app starts and stops by watching then export the relevant parts.
It's too long for either of those file type, but .docx is the default from word, if you can't open it on your laptop then I bet google docs could do it if you save then upload it.

After comparing the logs of my N1 and G2, it seems as if the G2 cyanogen build does not have the drm. When the G2 Netflix app goes to check OMXCORE it returns drm_play not available, whereas the N1 checks out fine and get a bunch of OMXCORE checks.
Also if I'm not mistaken, the G2 (and many other phones) does not officially have gingerbread yet so it only makes sense that 2.2 is the prereq for all the non-nexus phones.
So it would make sense for it to work on other devices that had the DRM, if you just simply changed the build.prop id's
I posted this elsewhere, but I thought it would be useful to put it here to. The Dropbox link is a .txt, btw.
In regards to the problems we have been having with netflix, I have a logcat. This was obtained with Catlog, and was recording from the time I started the app to when I was returned to the menu after the movie crashes. Its a Dropbox link, here ya go: http://db.tt/vPp12DT
There is one thing in there that worries me, and I think its what's causing the error. This error right here:

Since the thread got closed for who knows what, let's build a list of known issues, fixes and whatever else...
For one, my brightness didn't work, so I flashed Kernel #15 which fixed that issue. Now my camera only shows a white screen.
BTW, I looked for a similar thread, but didn't find one. I tend to miss things sometimes though.

I'm pretty sure the thread got closed, because wdfowty requested it be closed. Based on a comment he made in the thread, I presume he requested the thread be closed because of the ridiculous, juvenile, and inappropriate tags that people were leaving. So as usual, the thread was closed due to people acting like 3 year old kids.
Anyways, on your topic, I have fortunately not encountered any of the bugs that other people have mentioned in the thread. Everything I've been able to test so far is working perfectly. The only thing that I wish, is that HTC released the leak with Sense 2.1. I want a 2.1 sense rom with working 4g!!!
Right, people have been acting so ridiculously here lately.
Back on topic, camera with kernel 15 seems to be my only issue. Anybody got a link to just the kernel on the new leak? I would rather have my camera rather than brightness adjustable. Unfortunately.

When I turn on the camera/camcorder to take a pic/record, the screen appears all white. However, if you take a picture, it comes out but looks a little fuzzy. If I try to record a video in mpeg4, it will record but force close when it tries to save it. If I try to record a video using H.264, it force closes immediately. I tried clearing the data of the camera app and that did not help.
Weird.
I'm downloading Virus's version which has the camera fixed, but it may be just for pics. I think video still may be borked, but I cannot confirm that yet.
Edit: Forgot to add that I am running Netarchy's 4.3.4 kernel with the leaked 2.3 update.
Yea, the issue I had was brightness lock, fixed with kernel 15, which left me with the white screen camera.

i got my to work with everyting, but with the stock kernel.
I have a hardware 002 which I don't think is an Epson screen. I can not change the brightness on the leaked ROM. When I try to flash HTC Kernel 15 the phone won't boot it gets past the HTC EVO white screen but then hangs up right before the Boot Animation. You can tell the screen is on but nothing ever happens...

Do you mean the stock kernel that came with the leaked update, or the previousw stock kernel #15 like Rydah is using? I may just re-flash it with the stock kernel for now.
Or, just nandroid back to Myn's rom until all the wrinkles get ironed out. I don't see so much of an improvement so as to keep a buggy rom when it was working perfectly before.

Why do you WANT blur on your phone? Everyone i know with a blurred motorola phone struggles to make it blurless and wants to remove that crap as much as possible - it is a serious detriment to performance and battery life.

Because this version of blur is different from the others and better, and well because we on the g2 forums deserve variety, other than the 3 classic roms, sense,cm7 or miui. And no i dont think this rom will drain that much battery or affect performance, our gpu's beats the crap out of the omap that the droids have.
Also found that when calling someone it will restart the phone and it will keep you on the call till the os finishes reloading.

i'm guessing this is based on the Droid X GB leak - the blur is different than the blur on 2.2? My girlfriend was running stock 2.2 on the DX and getitng like 12 hrs of battery life. Then running Liberty 2.1 (blurless 2.2 based) she was getting 24 hours +. I flashed her over to the Liberty GB alphas (has a lot of blur in it) and have yet to see how the batt life is.
What i do know is that if you look @ running services (on the DX Liberty GB) and use an app like autostarts to see the on startup apps - blur has a whole ton of blur stuff that runs in the background from startup on - unrelated to ui changes and widgets.
What i fail to understand is not manufacturer ui (which differentiates) but why it has to be baked in so deep into the OS and kernel that it makes it impossible to remove if - god forbid - you want a more stock experience.
I have a lot of respect for any dev who brings more variety and software choice for our phones and i dont mean to undermine his work. I guess i just get pissed that companies like motorola make it so hard to go stock (particularly mess with that damned bootloader) that they would rather u ruin your device (i soft bricked my gf's droid x once and the only way to get back to stock is a complete SBF flash - a rare turn of events that i've never had the displeasure of running into on an HTC phone).
On a related note to this ROM, i noticed on Liberty GB (but not on Liberty 2.x) you can remove stuff from the notification area because there is a minus button (ie you dont have to clear all notifications or click on the notification itself to clear it - there is a button that enables its removal). Is this part of blur? I'd love to see this ported to AOSP.
I take no credit for the ROM. If you want to check out a smooth AOSP ROM, this might fit the bill.

I don' recall AOSP dialer ever doing that, but I could be wrong. To view contacts you just select the contacts tab. I know the Sense dialer does that.
I've been running this ROM for a couple days now, it's great. The only bug I've found is the normal reversed compass orientation, which is a bit annoying but doesn't effect driving navigation at all.
Other than that, everything else (MMS, etc) is working fine. For users wondering what it's like, think CM7 running LauncherPro instead of ADW, and you're pretty close.

Sounds to me like you're used to using the Sense dialer. I don't think the stock AOSP dialer does that.
I replaced the default dialer with "DialerOne", which is free on the market. Take a look if you like this ROM but want to maintain your Sense dialer functionality.

I am not a developer, but I am certain that, yes, this is a very hard thing to do and I really haven't read anything about progress in this regard, since zbuw came up with the initial workaround to get the camera partially working.
The main problem still seems to be that, so much code has changed in ICS that we basically need new drivers from htc or qualcomm in order to get it fully working. I expect that we won't see full camera functionality until a leak comes up from which we can extract the drivers (I don't know enough about the similarities of other devices, hardware-wise, to guess on how likely this is.

I am not a developer, but I am certain that, yes, this is a very hard thing to do and I really haven't read anything about progress in this regard, since zbuw came up with the initial workaround to get the camera partially working.
The main problem still seems to be that, so much code has changed in ICS that we basically need new drivers from htc or qualcomm in order to get it fully working.

is the camera video mode working at all in Andromadus v10?
I can't find that information and can't post yet in their topic (noob here).

That's normally fair game but you're replying to someone who can't even post in the dev section yet, don't make him download backup wipe flash discover it isn't working then restore.. no, to the best of my knowledge (having just tested it and seen it reported elsewhere) recording does not work at this time (unless some wild development has happened in the past couple days).

thanks. I will give that a shot. I kinda need video recording working from time to time, so it will be painful running ROM without it ... is that true that none of ICS ROMs have the video camera working (just pic taking)?
From everything I have read either here or CM, what I believe they are waiting on is drivers from either HTC or Qualcom to further develop the camera. I believe they have it working somewhat. I am NOT a dev by any stretch just passing along what I have read.
Hope this helps

Yes this is true, and even picture taking is iffy at best (you have to install third party app and most people can only take non-buggy pictures at VGA (really low) quality)
If you need video recording AT ALL do not use ICS yet.
thanks guys, those statements change the ground. in fact I will wait a little longer until those drivers get released and developers can fix camera issues.
I use camera for pics often and videos occasionally, so I wouldn't like a phone like that at all.
also, what does it mean that GPS is "kinda" working now (Andromadus v10), it's broken or not?
I use Google Navigation frequently whenever I get lost or traveling to current closest (unknown) chain store location and such ... and I kinda rely on that ... I guess I need to wait for a beta ROM, alphas are not for me yet.

I just got an HTC one v from Cricket Wireless and through a bit of patience (which i need badly ) Was able to root it with an AIO kit (Props to the dev of that kit.)
I Recently read that this phone won't be getting Android 4.1 or 4.2 .
I'm wondering (and this is why I posted in general. What roms would be awesome for this little phone and well...I've been all over the net and I'm curious as to "What's cool?"
Would Cyanogen Mod work with this phone?
Would I lose any services (Talk, Text, Data)
I'm aware of the possibility but what are the steps I can take to prevent it/recover from one (if it happens)
I do believe I have the original RUU from another website. and the android SDK on this computer.
I will probably have millions more questions and I am going through the forums, but, I'm interested in hearing what's up. I'm also new here.
Welcome! If I'm not mistaken Cricket Wireless is no sir right{CDMA}? You might want to check out the HTC Cmda thread. However most of the CDMA roms are for Virgin Mobile.

Thanks for the welcome
I believe this phone is PRIMO C according to what I've read. Yes, CDMA
Android Ver: 4.0.3
I recently did a TWRP backup (2 hrs ago) with Ver 2.3.3.0
I'm also reading about Slim Bean.
I would like to have the latest os on this phone, eliminate a good percentage of the crap this phone came with (from Cricket) and have a good time. Yes I know it won't run games very well...but the rest is fantastic.
OK Great! Unfortunately some of the roms like Slim Bean have a bug that Forces a reboot randomly. Usually when unlocking your screen. Another problem is that these roms are usually made for Virgin Mobile and that you'll have to modify them for your network. There is a thread that shows this I believe. I would suggest Rhythmic Rom. It's based on CM10 and doesn't have the reboot bug.

I think I saw a thread on how to modify a rom to match a service provider. Like a text file or something like that. (Best comparison I can make is modifying the morrowind.ini (for the PC Game Morrowind) file to use a specific sound) So I shouldn't have a problem there. (Just found that thread think it's this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2120559&highlight=cricket)
Rhythmic Rom...I did read a thread about that last night. I think the guy's in the process of trying to solve a bug with the phone's 5mp camera not working and video recording crashes. It looks like a good rom. I might want to try to test this rom out on an emulator (if possible)
If I remember CM10 is based off of Jelly Bean, an OS I'd love to have on this phone.
While I'm at it. I'd like to say thanks for your help so far, and thanks to anybody else who jumps into this thread. This is the first time in a while that I feel like a proper n00b at something.
:highfive:
