Netflix App

Was able to get my Dinc to run the Netflix app with no issues. Pushed it over to my A101 and no dice. Anyone mess with this yet?
Here's a link to the APK in my dropbox.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17955245/com.netflix.mediaclient-2.apk
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I installed and ran it fine but get "unsupported device" when trying to play a video. I found this link but I couldnt get it to work.

Yeah it ran for me too but didn't play video.

I have Netflix working.
I have UrukDroid-1.1beta2 installed on my Archos 70 but should work with other ROMs if you are rooted.
You just need to open & edit /system/build.prop
I used Root Explore but any other root file editor should work.
Change ro.product.brand=archos
to
ro.product.brand=HTC Vision
and
ro.product.manufacturer=archos
to
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
reboot
Worked for me.

I can confirm this working on A70S running Uruk 1.0 from internal memory. To help others, I used a terminal to gain root ($su), made a backup copy of the build.prop (#cp /system/build.prop /system/build.prop.bak), then copied the build.prop to / and changed the name to build.txt (#cp /system/build.prop /build.txt). Then I changed the permissions to make it writable (#chmod 666 /build.txt). Personally, I hate vi. So, I used astro file manager to open the build.txt file and edit it with the above changes. Then back in terminal copied the edited build.txt back to where it belongs (#cp /build.txt /system/build.prop) and restored the proper settings (#chmod 644 /system/build.prop) and then rebooted via holding down power and selecting reboot.
I only played with the streaming for a few minutes before work this morning. Seems decent. I am really looking forward to getting into it tonight. Thanks for the file changes!
UPDATE: I got a chance to compare the netflix app on my A70S compared to endgadget's walkthrough video on the Nexus S. The app runs, in my opinion, a little slow both loading the first time and in changing tabs or viewing information on a movie/show. But when I loaded my app while watching the Nexus S on the video load, they took about the same time. Same thing with everything else - very comparable times to switch between tabs or get information on a movie/show. As far as quality goes, I have not watched any video completely start to finish yet. But I have noticed some variance in quality. An episode from Season 2 of the Office looked a little pixelated but Austin Powers Goldmember looked nice. Both we very watchable though. The initial buffer took a few seconds longer than I would like but when skipping forward in the video, the video played rather quickly. Overall I am happy the app is out, and will use the crap out of it, but there is definitely some room for improvement.

Do we absolutely need root to edit the build.prop?
I know I can get the file to my PC to edit. I don't know if I need root to get it back...and I did the firmware update.

I don't have my gen8 this weekend my daughter stole it from me so I can't test this.
I have read in the following post that the device check disabled apk will work and wouldn't require root.

Sweet thanks for the link. Just loaded it up and it worked. Haven't watched anything long yet but tested it and it worked!

Damn, I spent half the day yesterday backing stuff up and installing Uruk so I could use Netflix, and now I don't even need it, haha.

Yeah I was going to do all of that until I found this thread. I really didn't want to attempt root until warranty expired. I was practically doing cartwheels when the netflix-devicecheck-disabled.apk file worked.

The device check disabled version worked great for me. Combine that with 4G LTE tethering from my thunderbolt and I got some good shizz. Thanks for the tip guys!

netflix app
I have installed the Netflix app found here on the xda site. It works perfectly on both HTC evolution 4g's I have, both running stock roms. Neither one is rooted. Unfortunately none of the downloads will work on my ideos E-mail slim running 2.2.2 rooted. I can do everything except stream. When I try to stream it just crashes.

My stock music player along with my market video player were both erased of their content. Is this a result of a virus or not so serious? How do I reactivate both players with the stuff they had? What happened and what's the fix? Thanxs... again!

The pictures still exist ...but only in file. this can't be normal. can you diagnose this and point me in a solutions direction.? Thank you for the reply.. Much appreciated!

Seems like you might be having an issue with your sd card... Try pulling the back cover off and ejecting/re-inserting the sd.

Another problem just appeared...or is it a problem?

Whenever I try to click a video on YouTube, a pop-up appears asking me to save the video, rather than viewing it on the phone... not sure why it's doing this.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks

First off. What ROM, Kernel, and recovery are you using?
How long has this been happening or when did it start happening?
I just checked my YouTube and it's not doing this. I'm on the latest AOKP and using Datkside Kernel and TWRP.

Youtube app or web?

Not n issue wit the phone it n application, had it a few times actually, my guess is youtube isn't installed, & ur either using a different browser, or what video application do u use? (Moboplayer can actually override browser settings & automaticly play youtube on low through it, another (can't remember name) does this exact thing,) reinstall youtube should fix

Using Darkside Evo 3 (no kernel flashed).
Both on YouTube app and web which I use Opera Mini Browser.
I wonder if it's something I froze on Titanium app, but looked through it today and can't see anything that would be affected by it.
I'll just re-flash the ROM, no big deal, see what happens from there.
Thought I'd toss the question here since everyone is pretty knowledgeable and helpful, maybe someone had the same problem at some point.
My bigger issue still is the battery life which blows.

Really? I get 7 hours of screen time on aokp m6 with darksides kernel might wanna try that.

[Q] PlayerPro crashing upon startup. (JellyBelly v6)

I start it up, and it just goes right back to the launcher, it will show up in my open tasks though and when I try to get to it from there it just crashes again. Has anyone else been experiencing this issue?
Updated:
Also another issue, tried opening DoubleTwist, it opened. But when I when I went to hit the Albums tab it crashed as well.

Try fixing permissions. If that doesn't work, it could be an incompatibility of some sort... Can't know unless I know more about your setup.

There are a lot of sound and music mods in v6, I modified the ROM to work optimally with the included music players... Sorry if other ones don't work because of it. Noozy and Apollo are both great music apps.

I use player pro and haven't had this issue.

I have tried fixing permissions twice now and still no change. I've tried reinstalling both applications and still no change. They are not stored on the SD card, Apollo works, as does Google Music. But I don't like having to use Apollo, it has barely any features, and it wont let me change it's skin. And even though I have my entire library on Google Music I don't like to steam music as it kills my battery so I store music locally to an SD card.

Try JellyBelly v5. It doesn't have the audio mods and runs just as fast, if not faster.

Ok so I guess i missed the memo where you updated V5 again so I redownloaded and re-wiped the phone, it works like a charm now. When I saw that last one that said final I figured it was final and didnt there was an update to it again till 3 days ago.
May I say though thank you for this ROM, I was using the CNA port before this, but I think that may be the final one I keep on my phone, now that everything seems to be working on it now.

[Q] Remove Jay Z

I'm trying to figure out where I can remove the Jay Z clips from my phone so it doesn't keep starting up on BT when it syncs to my Alpine deck. I only have the samples not the album. Does anyone know where? how? Can't seem to find it. So annoying.

Uninstall the magna carta app?

I don't have that app, that is the problem. I just have some clips of the songs somewhere and I can't seem to find them. Every time I BT sync with my deck, they start playing the clips. I just don't see where they are located on the phone to rid myself of them.

Are you rooted?
If so you can use a root file explorer to look for hidden files.
You can also switch to a custom rom and those media files will be very gone after a full wipe and clean install of another ROM.
Don't know if you want to use the rooting options, but they are guarenteed to work.

can't you just clear the cache on the hub app in settings > app management? I'd think it would clear all of that out.
