well i know a browser called skyfire allows you to watch hulu on flash enabled devices pretty well but as far as netflix, i've never been a subscriber so i have no idea.

Nope, no netflix. Netflix claims they can't because the content providers require DRM and there just isn't any on Android.
Ahh the price of freedom

Netflix said there will be a app coming after the new year, they said that a little while ago

I remember trying skyfire but it didn't work. Well Netflix doesn't work tryed that. Hopefully Netflix pulls it together I was watching it on my friends iPhone 4 and it looked good. Hopefully we will have it after new years late Christmas present haha.

Netflix is slated to release for our phones in the coming months i believe. Hulu can be played on our phones via a modified browser.apk i remember seeing these floating around in the nexus one forums. I'm sure you could find it there or somewhere here. However using the modified browser.apk will not allow you to play netflix because the desktop netflix client is based off of microsoft silverlight and not flash.
Hope this helped.

[Q] CM7 with netflix, skype, and wireless tethering?

Does anyone have CM7 with netflix, skype (w/video), and wireless tethering all working on their incredible 2?
I am thinking about trading in my inc2 for an iphone 4 because I know the netflix and skype w/video apps work without spending any time modifying the OS. And from what I've heard the jailbreak process for wireless tethering is super easy on the iphone 4.
However, if it is fairly easy to get all of this working on an inc2 (meaning I don't want to spend more than a few hours), then I will just keep mine and avoid giving in to apple.

I'm on CM7 and a Skype video test call worked, whereas before rooting this morning the video test would crash the app. xgunther said in another thread that he had wireless tether working, but I've not been able to get CM7's integrated tether nor the source wifi tether app to work. Might just be my PC, though. I can see the networks, but I'm having a hard time getting an IP.
I don't have a netflix account so can't comment on that.

Netflix is apparently working: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15494240&postcount=18

Wifi tethering worked for me on the first try, Netflix works (it's sort of laggy), and I haven't tested Skype video calling.
I'm on the latest nightly build as of July 8. What isn't working for me is the compass (north=south).

FWIW, I did stumble across a thread about wireless tethering where someone mentioned that the latest version (beta) does not work and said to use the latest non-beta version.
I have yet to root my phone and verify myself though.

Where did you guys get the Skype Video apk and the Netflix APK is it from the XDA thread?
EDIT: Found the Netflix APK

I was able to find the Skype apk by doing a Google search. I actually found two of them. However, since I am currently running Android 2.2, they just force close when I enable video. From what I have read you need to use the Android 2.3 in order to get the Skype w/video apk to work on an inc2.

I'm pretty sure the Skype .apk I'm using is found here: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/04/11/download-skype-with-video-on-android/

I tested the Skype and Netflix (The NEW NetFlixONE PowerHouse ColorConversion Super App [High Color Contrast Very Bright]) they both work pretty much flawlessly for me on wi-fi!

with apple though, everytime they do a software update don't you have to wait for a new jailbrake and do it all over again? btw it's really easy to S-OFF & install a ROM on the Inc 2

Netflix works, WiFi and USB tether work on CM7, apparently Skype video works, and there is a Zip you can flash to get video chat in Google Talk or search "Talk 1.3 installer" in marketplace.

When I try to install the Skype mobile apk, I just get an "application not installed" message. Any tricks I can try?
I've tried the first download link and the mirror.

I'm in the same boat, I'm S-Off with the latest Cyanogenmod 7 Nightly flashed and the skype apk won't install. I got the netflix apk to install without a hitch.

Thank you, I actually was able to find the file, and it installed successfully. I haven't been able to test video yet, but the option is available.

Yea I found a different Skype Apk after I posted that, and It fully works, both front and back cameras. And you can still IM while the video is on. Pretty cool.

I just skyped with my wife via wireless connection, and it works amazingly well. We were on for 45mins, and it never stuttered or reduced quality. At some point I'll try 3G and see how well that works.

Good point but.
I have some low end apps (great apps but not much developer money) that I use and they work fine.

LCD Density
If you have changed your pixel density that will make it so certain apps can't be installed. For the odd app that wont install through the market I just download the apk from whoever has it (google it).

I have flick golf and it works perfectly.

It's not a good point at all. Programs don't have to be designed to work on dual core, they'll just use one of the cores. They do, however, have to be designed to take full use of the dual cores.

9mm plays but the graphics are all pink textures during gameplay.
Flick Golf works fine on mine.

i flashed the sb rom, but when i download apps i cannot open them. anyone else have this issue

What would the pixel density have to do with any of that? That absolutely is not true as I have the ATT version of the phone and my room mate has this version of the phone. Both are rooted and his is still stock ROM mine is listed below in my signature. My Pix density is 200 and his is stock 240. Both of our markets show as having not compatible apps for our phones such as Adobe Flash and Netflix...Yet We both have the apps on our phones just older versions. When you search them out they are there and claim to have updates but will not let you install. I flashed an update to my ROM just a few days ago that did a wipe and reset of the phone and after rebooting and customizing (including changing the build.prop file for density) for a short period of time I was able to search out and update Flash to version 11 and the latest Netflix. I go back after a few hours and noticed one of my apps "Make your clock" was the old version after restoring from TIBU and went to update the app and uh oh no can do, not compatible with my phone. And yet the day before I updated that very same app before TIBU restore...So your theory about density seems really thin and unless you have actual proof that this is a cause then I would keep from confusing anyone with it.

Guys, I don't think it is a question of the app(s) working fine. It is the fact that even if you have an older version of the app(s) working and there is an update is it:
1. Listed in your Market?
2. If not listed in your Market can you search and find it?
3. Once the App(s) in question is located is it listed as update or downloadable?
If all of these factors match then why is it happening this way and what is preventing from downloading these files to the phone!

This seems to be an ongoing issue across the board with most phones...I will see if I can research and find some results to post.

I find it interesting that PD was the only new change I had made prior to my new problem of incompatibility.
So far these are the apps that no longer are compatible:
Picasa Tool
Firefox Beta
Moboplayer
Adobe Photoshop Express
Best Buy
Maxthon Browser
I tried resetting my PD back to stock, but that didn't help.

So that I am clear about all that you did was PD change...Did you restore anything from backup? Or just loaded everything from the market as a fresh install?

I found this issue only when using viper rom when i was stock and now running starburst ive had no issues...

My Maps Editor doesn't work,
It used to work with my HTC EVO
I dont know if google blocked it completely now to where you can only edit maps through PC 100% of the time only but I used to be able to use it until recently.. version is 1.1.6

I bought madden on my samsung epic, and it worked perfectly, but now with my gs2, its not compatible anymore I spent $6 on that app for getting to play it 5 times lol. It doesn't show up in my market, and I checked online, and it is also listed as incompatible for epic touch 4g. blahhh

These apps were installed from the market but now cannot be updated at all.
Add to the list ttorent and the official Newegg.com app that are no longer compatible.
Again running ZedomaxEpicTouchKernel with stock ROM and a PD of 170.
---------- Post added at 08:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------
It is definitely related to PD. I just reset mine to stock, but this time cleared the data from the market app. Boom, now everything is compatible again and updating perfectly.

PD is definitely the cause of some Apps not installing and being seen on this phone but what's up with the rest. I've had Apps on my epic that aren't compatible with this phone. Doesn't make any sense.

[App Request] OKCupid apk v2.1.6

Hi Guys, could anyone post the apk to OKCupid v2.1.6 (specifically that version please, its the latest). It won't download to the Galaxy Nexus because the devs haven't got round to marking it as compatiable yet It worked on my Nexus S, so maybe someone could download it from the market using that phone, and then post the apk? Thanks

Bump.
Anyone?

works for me. i had to sign in on my galaxy nexus, since it didn't accept my settings from the backup.

idk, i tried then uninstalled then retried again but it didn't work... i can't even type in my sign in and password... i click on it but it doesn't go
Galaxy Nexus in the house via Tapatalk!!!

Yeah I think the app does actually have genuine compatability issues. I had to force close and clear all app data before it would let me sign on, then all the buttons in the app stopped working

it's now available for the nexus, apparently "general bug fixes" added xhdpi and ics support :0

thanks for the heads up!

Anyone have a more recent version? I haven't gotten around to editing the build.prop on my Nook Tablet yet, and it's showing as incompatible in Market / Play Store.

[APP]About Photoshop touch

I am wondering is there any way to make the playstore treat my n710x as tab10.1 then let me pay and install photoshop touch
because it would be lovely to use n710x with the 1024 pen to edit photo or create image when travel
For this, I have done some researches and I found this:
But seems its not compatible with n710x.....plz help

If you have a tablet, you can buy it there and transfer file like I did.
Also if you are rooted, editing build prop to say that phone is a transformer might work.

How do I buy Photoshop Touch?
Is there a way to buy the Adobe Photoshop Touch app to install on my Galaxy Note 2?
I do not have a tablet so I cannot use that to download the app and then extract the apk to sideload my Note 2.
Google play lists the Note 2 as incompatible. Is there a way I can purchase and download the app on to the desktop?
I ran a search and am not able to come up with any useful link on how to yet.

I can help yours boys. Just PM me.

All you need is the APK installs fine on the note 2 without being rooted... that's all I'm going to say.. you just need the apk.

I enjoy photo editing so was looking for this. Adobe doesnt let me pay for it so I found a unlegit copy. It is available all over the web illegally but you should pay the developer for their work - should they allow you to!!! I got my copy from a very coolapk site but its japanese or chinese or something. .if I find I actually use it I will pay the dev for their work should they ever decide they want my money :/ in my experience, apps that say not compatible on the market will obviously install on an incompatible device but there will be something about it that doesnt wotk properly and is usually related to screen size. Havent come across any problems with ps touch yet.

Thanks... I did get the app... though, NOT the way I would have liked.
I hope Adobe makes a compatible version for Note 2 as it does match all requirements except physical screen size.
I would surely buy it... I was crazy enough to buy the whole Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection for my desktop... I wouldn't mind spending a few bucks for the phone app.
Until then... it is unfortunate.

+1. Shame I had to resort to getting the app in an unethical way! I would definitely pay if there was a N2 version! Plus there would be no problems with updates!

So if I buy it for my note 10.1 surely it will say incompatable if I try to download on my note 2 from the play store ?

If you buy it on the note 10.1 you can extract the apk with a root explorer and trabsfer the apk to the note 2. Works perfectly fine

I was excited to read about the tablet workaround. So I bought it today and moved the APK over to my Galaxy Note 2. Sadly, the new 1.4.1 that was released today doesn't seem to work, much of the UI appears offscreen, or stacked on top of each other. It seems that I paid my $10 a day too late.
Does the Play store allow older versions to be downloaded?

I guess someone need to edit the build prop or DPI so the new v1.4.1 version can fit perfectly on galaxy note 2

Since you actually PAID for it, i think it would be OK to procure the older version of the app in an unethical way, like warez websites.
