[Q] Netflix

So Netflix came out for some devices today. I grabbed a version of it and installed it and it seems it's authenticating the device type when a streaming request is sent. Who wants to figure out how to spoof this?

many have tried, all have failed.........so far.

Deja vu... again

I'll post steps soon. I've got it on Froyo on the Epic which is a little bit different than some of the other solutions floating out there.

In theory it should work but we have yet to find the right combination of spoofs in the build.prop

I have been messing with build.prop but have yet to find a good config. Also some changes break other apps...may not be worth it.

With the "Swiss Cheese Samsprint" EE03 rom, Netflix works great, as well as everything else...

Netflix works perfectly for me with this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082783
It doesnt support the Epic but with this ROM it thinks the phone is a Nexus S. I've had great success with this ROM. Everything works except for the FM radio but I use TuneIn so it doesnt matter. You still need a subscription to Netflix. Hoping ya'll can afford $8 a month LOL

Yup, Netflix works great on the Swiss Cheese rom (Gingerbread 2.3)

What do you mean by it works? Like the streaming video works? Or just the browser and such? Because that was working since the LG version leaked

PS3 controller for games?

The ps3 controller is usable on tablets so I was wondering if we could use it on our Inc's? One of you geniuses can figure it out, i'm sure. Would be great for emulators and maybe even a video controller. Might sound stupid to some but I would like it.

Skyraider was incompatible but miui worked, I was able to connect the controller to my phone and assign keys, didn't test actual functionality though.

Tried the compatibility checker that the dev provides, and gave an "error: missing protocol" or something similar; checked the FAQ on his blog, and basically means the phone is incompatible. Oh well; maybe it's something with Sense/sense kernels?

Also confirmed. Couldn't find it from the market on my phone but installed it from computer and it pushed it to my Epic with CM9. Wouldn't push to my Evo 3D running ICS though.

Once I figure out the issue with CM9 not flashing correctly on my epic ill have to check this out... thanks for the heads up!

Nice, just downloaded this and I am loving it so far.

Anyone have the apk they can post here or link to? Can't download off market either

You might think flash works if you aren't using chrome as your default browser.

I have just installed this. It did take a little maneuvering:
I had flashed CM9 directly over CM7 (it worked, but it had to "optimize" some apps).
Apparently, this did not update my accounts such that the Market recognized my phone as being Android "4.0 and up" A quick removal and re-addition of my account fixed the error and I was indeed able to install!

I saw someone have an issue using Shift and Fn on the hardware kb in another thread..
They work as long as you hold them down, then press the key, and then release..

Aosp video chat fix?

Is it possible that there isn't a fix for video chats on aosp roms for the EVO. I've tried different versions of decks roms and one from jared. Each have the same results. The furthest I've gotten is voice going through but without video. Is there a flashable zip or something to fix this. I want to use an aosp Rom but can't without this working. I tried Skype and g+ video chat. Both failed.by now there should be some kind of fix. On sense Roms they work but not aosp ones. I've searched Google and xda search but no luck. Someone please help.

Well, if you're using ICS roms, they do have bugs in them.

No, I'm using GB roms.

Yeah. I loaded them in boot manager. Wiped all. Installed apps by titanium. Could it be kernel wise? I kept the kernel the Rom came with.

Well the kernel idea didn't work. I used taimat 4.1 with the same results. I guess I won't be using aosp roms as a daily until its figured out. Yeah the apps are but for some reason they don't function on the aosp builds. Thanks for your help but if you happen to come across anything please let me know.

Will do, and sorry they're not working for you.

I had a problem for video chatting not working. G+ and Skype didn't work which I needed. So after days of searching for an answer, I finally stumbled across this. It helped for G+ but not for Skype. I didn't confirm an actual chat but my image comes out and doesn't say camera error anymore.
The link has a adb command list but I did it via root explorer. My first try didn't work but on my second try I didn't fix permissions or reboot. Weird but worked for me.
One last advice is that trying to video call in Skype borked the ability to g+ video chat afterwards. A simple reboot fixed it. So here is the link I used:

You don't. You can use a third party text app and block it from view, but I find widgets like APW pull from the stock message app so they are still shown on the widget. You can also either wait and see if the cm team integrates a work around to hide them or use GV. I just use GV.
