Not sure if this has already been addressed, but none of my apps work... Netflix, YouTube, hacked Hulu+. I'm guessing this has to do with HWA? Any help would be appreciated.

the most recent CM9 has HWA built in... i would tend to think that most of those streaming services use Digital Rights Management (DRM) which is probably not working in CM9.

That's not the case as I watched Netflix on my CM9 tablet just a few weeks ago.

I'm having this same issue. Anyone know a fix?
if you're talking about drk.hd's CM9 kang for inc then if you used the camcorder fix that was posted, i've heard that it breaks youtube, netflix, etc. If you flash the ROM without the camcorder fix then you should be set. At least that's how I understand it. I'm still waiting for CM9 to have more custimization features before I make it my daily driver so I have been holding off on using this ROM very much but I have kept up with that thread and people seemed to have problems when they used the camcorder fix. I guess it is a trade off right now that you will have to decide on if you want to use it as your daily.
I'm currently on the new Nightly CM9 and Incredikernel HWA Beta 2 and, unfortunately, same issue with the hacked Hulu plus .. Sound with scrambled green bars only. However, YouTube works though, and canceled my Netflix.
Anyone out there up to removing the device check on the latest and greatest version of Hulu+?

I've been running drk.hd's latest nightly for a few days now and am loving it. Best ICS I've tried to date. Also using Incredi Beta 2. I didn't do the camcorder fix before install and can confirm what you posted. Haven't attempted netflix but youtube is working great. If they can work a camcorder fix this will be my new daily probably for the rest of my INC's life.

Okay, so I combed over the thread again and found that even with the drivers that were released recently netflix is broken for everyone using this ROM so I'm going to retract my original statement and tell you this: you are not alone. Many people have been asking/complaining about neflix not working in this ROM and unfortunately nobody has been able to deliver as of yet. My ignorance on the topic sprouts from the fact that I don't have a netflix account therefore I don't use netflix and haven't been staying up to date on this particular issue. I am sorry for the confusion but this should set you straight. The ROM does not yet support netflix or hulu playback to my knowledge. Perhaps in the next build?
For me, some of the playback is hit or miss. I might have to reload it a few times to get it to work but eventually things like YouTube will work and I never flashed the camcorder fix. I was also wondering if this is connected to the TwitchTV app not working as well?
So I am a complete noob, however, isn't the version of Netflix dependent on what device you have? I'm pretty sure Hulu is too. Which means since the Incredible doesn't technically support ICS/HWA (?) the apps don't either? YouTube works but it's version is solely based on the Gapps you install (which are made for ICS) and it works. SO maybe port Netflix and Hulu from another device that officially has ICS?

Hey guys (and girls?), I got my EVO 4G and clearly loving it running froyo. I am thinking on going to gingerbread but I'd like to know if apps get affected by that. Does it depends on the app or is it generally the same?
Generally speaking, no, they do not. Happy Easter.

Some apps are not yet compatible with Gingerbread. I haven't had any issues yet, though.
i've never noticed any issues. just make sure you backup apps with titanium backup, NOT SYSTEM DATA, and wipe when you flash over. may i reccomend cm7?
Ran into my first non GB compliant app the other night. I use the Xfinity TV app (Comcast Cable) and when I am on MikGinger it doesn't work. It automatically closes itself as soon as it starts too load. Then I saw some reviews and people said it didn't work on GB at this time.

Titanium's latest update makes it broken on gingerbread, but okay on 2.2.
They'll fix it soon, but until then, find a prior build and use it.
I'm running the 2.3.3 gingerbread leak on my Evo, have been for about a week now(since TMartin put it out on XDA) and so far all my apps still work. My Xfinity TV app works fine. I actually just set a recording using it a few minutes ago. But I have discovered that the front camera no longer works in yahoo messenger video chat. However I'm not sure if this is gingerbread related or not. I posted a thread about it in the general section to see if anyone else if having the same issue.

My wife uses an unrooted G2. She likes using Google Talk video chat on her computer. She would love to be able to use it on her phone, even without a front facing camera. I've read elsewhere that Cyanogen has started incorporating 2.3.4 and Video Chat into the nightly builds for the G2. I'm hesitant to root and flash her phone with the current nightly build, since I don't to risk giving her an unstable phone that has broken other features she used to using.
What's the rule of thumb for jumping to a CM build in a case like this? Do you wait for a "stable" build to be posted? If so, about how long it take from the time they start incorporating the stuff you want into nightly builds before it becomes stable (a week, a month, etc)?
just do a nandroid of current rom then flash latest build anf give it a try, some builds are pretty stable aand have lot of fixes with current issues, if bad and have issue you can wipe and restore
Or use tango or fring... or search for the apk that has the updated video chat incorporated

I tried tango and fring, but neither of them work with the desktop browser version of google talk video chat. We've got the whole extended family on gtalk vc, so in order for video chat on the phone to be value added, it has to work with that. Thanks though.
Just root, download the google talk 1.3 flashable zip, flash with rom manager or in recovery, all done.
I haven't seen the zip in the g2/dz forums but I found it through google...

How's the stability of 7.0.2? Any significant bugs? Also, I see that 7.0.3 is now in the list of stable builds -- were there be any reason for me not to flash that instead of 7.0.2?

I did push a new googleservicesframework.apk while trying an alternate method. That just gave me force closes when trying video of audio. I flashed the same gapps as you and it stopped force closing and I get two way audio and video.
I'm running CM 7.0.2 with pershoots kernel on a G2.
Jgariano,
7.0.2 is perfectly stable for me. No problems to speak of. I read the only change in 7.0.3 is a security fix, so no major changes.

Hmmmm, I wonder if I need to flash a googleservicesframework.apk as well...

I have the same 'problem' with google talk. Everything works fine except the video calling. I can't select it. (When i open talk and then click on my own name, there isn't a box i can check to accept video calling).
i have tried to flash it too,but gtalk disappeared in the applist
why?
My understanding is that there are a few layers to this problem.
1) The hex edited libflashplayer.so (altered file that makes the site believe the flash is on a windows comp and not an android device) that is floating around out there will cause Hulu to work when using CM7 7.0.0 and Warm Z twopointtwo RLS1 (confirmed) but must be re-pasted into the data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib every time that the phone is rebooted.
This is due to the fact that the stock flash 10.2 that is installed on these roms does not have the hex-edited libflashplayer.so in the .apk.
2) On most newer Rom releases (have not confirmed all of them,) the process of replacing the stock libflashplayer.so with the hex-edited version does not cause hulu to work. This could be due to several reasons that are beyond my understanding.
Does anyone on here know of an app that is a good replacement of hulu, or have the ability to create a hacked Flash 10.2 apk that will resolve all of these issues? I would really like to have some tv streaming access during my downtimes, I'm sure others would be much appreciative as well.
Hulu came loaded on Skyraider 4.0 and works fine...I'm watching it right now.
I had seen some feedback saying that was hit and miss for some people. I like that it is preloaded on Skyraider 4.0.
I would like to see some other Roms cook it in too...
Yeah but the flashplayer on skyraider is 10.1 not the latest 10.2
It works on Ruby ROM. It's not as smooth as Flash 10.1 though. It's not choppy but it does have pauses in the video about every 20 seconds or so. I would just stick with 10.1, I don't see any benefit to 10.2 for the Inc.
For the hulu app to work go into your browser settings and turn off mobile view.

False. This only works on Roms where the hacked flash.apk comes cooked in. On *most* newer roms...where it's not cooked in...modding the flash with the libflashplayer.so exploit does not resolve the lack of hulu function, regardless of browser settings.
It is not detecting your browser settings, it is detecting your version of Flash, which is specific to Android phones, and therefore currently blocked by Hulu.
I wish it was this simple, but sadly it is not. Confirmed with test.
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.

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.

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.

The new Grooveshark does not use flash anymore. It should be straight HTML5. What's happening is there is an issue with the HTML5 Implementation somewhere thats causing an issue.
What browsers have you used with Grooveshark? Also, have you considered using the Grooveshark Native App? http://mobile.grooveshark.com/android

You are right, its HTML5, but I thought I should try out everything just in case. I have tried this using Chrome, Boat-Browser and the stock browser and all of them crash when I attempt to play music. Whats strange is that the Stock OS from Samsung plays everything well, and so do other mobile iDevices.
The issue seems to be related to CM10 if my guess is correct, as Chrome plays everything well when used in Samsung's stock OS.
Regarding the native android app, it needs a paid subscription and I wanted to use the free one they offer as an HTML5 app.
thanks!

I have the same exact issue running Jellybomb Jellybean ROM on my SGSiii and experienced major Grooveshark fails when switching from ICS to Jelly. This goes for html5 browser and mobile app. I can rarely playback songs when on 3G and sometimes wifi. I never tried the stock Sprint Jellybean Rom so I cannot speak for it, and I have yet to mention on the Jellybomb dev thread because I'm still a noob building up my posts. I hope there is a fix on the dev side since I know there aren't that many diehard Groovehark users that ask for it...perhaps they will figure it out for us?...but perhaps this is just a major lapse for Grooveshark which is disappointing.
So....I contacted Grooveshark support and indeed they said that there is a major bug related to 4.1 and above. They basically said they would give me 2 months free for Grooveshark anywhere while they worked on a fix. They said an update to the app will hit sometime early next year!!! If you are paying for Grooveshark anywhere I highly suggest you contact them to get the service for free. The app still works great with a wifi connection albeit not perfect. They just requested I send them some Verbose Logs via the app which is very easy to do. Just go into settings and enable verbose logging and try to reproduce the error/failure. You can then send the logs thru the settings as well. Make sure to email support to let them know you've sent logs and which email is attached to that mobile account.
This must be a big bug for them to take so long for an update. I pray they aren't losing the battle with spotify and other free ad bloated services. But I must admit I am tempted to switch to paid Spotify service. Good Luck!
