I tried out the XBMC app (http://dl.miniand.com/miniand/xbmc-android/xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-20120714.apk) and I would like to report that it works for our device... it is very slow to launch, may force close a few times, but it works. Video performance seems a bit choppy from streaming sources, but I have a feeling in a little while we will be able to have Hulu and Netflix, and the plethora of other add-ons available for our phones.
What ROM are you on?

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.

If I could recall the link I'd post it but long story short is this: Netflix will not allow any phone without a special processor on it which prevents copyright infringement to run the Netflix App. There are like 2 phones maybe which already have this, they say(speaking only of Android ones here). Snapdragon procs can indeed have this, however the OEM would have to had requested this when they ordered them from Qualquam. And apparently they did not, so if you are on an EVO you will never get legit Netflix(or on almost any other current phone). Newer phones will start to have labels like(Netflix Enabled!) soon and this is the only way android is actually gonna get Netflix. Hopefully the hacker community can get those of us with custom ROMS access but from the article I read(which was very detailed) it isn't looking very likely at all(something about Netflix being encrypted in some way and you having to have one of these special CPUs just to watch it I believe).
That sucks thats for sure. I would love netflix then I wouldn't have to carry my ipod touch around anymore.

There is a way to watch Netflix on an android Phone with Playon. Playon is PC software that runs on your home computer, and then your phone connects to your home computer. You must have your PC on anytime you want to watch Netflix. I have never tried it but I did look into it.

Isn't that the same reason Netflix doesn't run on Linux distros? So, naturally, I'd assume it'd come on to Android, only when it can first come on to Linux.

Yes and no. It actually did work on Linux way back when. But the problem is that Netflix uses Silverlight and that contains DRM libraries that Netflix enjoys. Netflix streaming worked on Moonlight a long time ago but the libraries have been updated. Now as far as phones go, there's only one phone that will officially have Netflix on Android. And that phone has a processor that plays well with the DRM.
Check out the Android Movies app, its better than netflix cause you don't need a subscription, just purchase the app and thats it!

Netflix just came or with an app some time ago and works great on the Evo.

I don't count on it ever working,but I put playon on mine and it works pretty much perfectly.You can install it on your computer then you are basically steaming but you have Netflix, Hulu CBS,tbs comedycentral,syfy and the list goes on.You can try it out for a couple of weeks for free and then if you want to keep it they are pretty cheap and have several ways to subscribe,from monthly,yearly and even a one time payment for a lifetime subsciption.Anyway I got tired of waiting and got it on sell and haven't looked back.It is more than you can imagine and you can use it on PS3.Xbox,Wii,and several blueray players.Pretty much anything that is DLNP capable .
Anyway didn't mean to ramble but hope this helps.
There is a netflix app available without the checks and already signed. Most have said they can get it running in a gingerbread rom. I haven't been able to get it working on the A7's rom however.

I know that they won't allow it to run on devices that are rooted, but I think if you search the forums you'll find a modded apk that should run.

I always ignored the "there is a newer version available" message until I read your post. Works like a charm now... Resolution seems like it sucks a little, but that may have just been the movie I tested with.
Just down loaded from Market. Install and logged in. It works great!!!

I updated to this version and it works well. I've noticed that the resolution starts out bad but rapidly improves. I am really happy with this tablet now. It pretty much does most things I want it to do. Only thing left for me to conquer is moving apps 2 external SD.
Thanks to everyone that has helped develop the mode!
Just wanted to make sure everyone is aware that you can adjust the quality of your stream through netflix. Just head to your account page on netflix.com and towards the bottom is a link to adjust the quality.

On my completly factory A7+ I got netflix working only through an account on amazon
Still can't find way for un modified A7+ to get HBO GO
more to point. I cant get netflix audio (or any audio) through hdmi on my ~5 yr old Insignia HD TV, is it possible adjusting stream quality will solve the no audio? I tried it on a new 55" Toshiba and audio/video work perfect (and wow, a 3' tall angry bird is cool)
This has been answerd in old threads as, "some tv's audio works, some don't"
Any new fixes?
Anyway to put screen to sleep while still streaming through hdmi?
I have tried so manu variations of the settings and tried to google but I cant find a solution to my problem.
Its laggy and the sound is not right.
Is anyone playing ff7 on there nexus, what settings are you using in that case?
It worked pretty well at first, but the sound was off.
Ive bought it so its the newest version.
Not an issue with the phone. It is like that on every phone.

Hmm where is it lagging for you? I am in the middle of disc 2 and the only thing that has lagged on me is the part where you try to stop the train from running into Barret's little town (forgot what it's called).
I am on AOKP and Franco, just installed GlaDOS to try to get some more performance but it is pretty playable.
edit: Try this on FPSe and see if it works for you. I don't have mine setup so I can't try it out.
go in fpse.ini file and set DisStereo=1
Will need root explorer or something to get to the FPSe directory but it might help.

Ive already changed the DisStereo=1 and I thought i was all good. It was in the starter town after blowing the first reactor. But as soon as i left with the train it got unplayable.
Im on stock yakju, but I know people were playing it with their xperia minis without lag. So something else has to be the problem.
Doesnt the sound lag for you? What settings do you use?
edit: ive got scph1001.bin bios and a ntsc-u game.
I can't understand why i cant get rid of the lag when people with half the performance is saying their playing it without. Isnt it suppose to be able to play without a problem?

On my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, I've gotten it to minimal lag by enabling dual core mode (in my version it's done by default and the option is actually "force mono core" but I don't have it enabled) with the following things enabled under the "video" settings:
framelimiter
frameskip
and that's it. I also have my processor overclocked and i do NOT have the OpenGL plugin installed (don't do it).
The sound is messed up and don't EVER use Tifa's limit breaks during boss fights (freezes right up), but otherwise I run at a pretty consistent 60fpt.

It's strange, if you download the OpenGL plugin, the sound is actually fixed (well, 85% of the time anyway), but then strange things start to happen randomly. I've had menus go missing---namely the battle menu during battles---and sprites go missing (sprites are video game programmer speak for pictures of things). Like the little white hand that points at "continue" or "new game" on the load screen disappears. So I just deal with the sound being messed up. I'd rather have smooth game play than fully functional sound.
Mind you, the music actually plays correctly, but it sounds like a stereo recording trying to play out of a mono speaker set up, like there's a speaker that's broken and not playing. Probably something that'll get fixed eventually.
In either case, DO NOT USE TIFA'S LIMIT BREAKS DURING BOSS BATTLES. I've had the game freeze on me half a dozen times during that first boss battle she's in during the 5th Mako Reactor and during the Sewer Boss after the "cloud dresses in drag" scene. During regular battles she seems to be okay, but boss battles freeze up bad enough to have to restart.
Hope I helped out I'm currently about to bust into the Shinra HQ for the first time (way early in the game lol). I love my ps3 controller set up on there too. It feels just like playing when i was a kid...but on mute...damn sound
