So now that the official netflix app has been released in the market, had anyone been able to install it on your mytouch 4g??
I looked for it in the market from my phone but couldn't find it, then went to the market website and tried to install it but it says not compatible!
Link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient
From the Netflix Blog:
"Hi, this is Roma De from the product team at Netflix.
We are thrilled to announce that we have begun to roll out a Netflix application for the Android platform. We are making the free app available for download from Android Market. The Market download will initially be available only on select phones that currently have the requisite playback support. We expect to quickly add to the number of phones that can download from Android Market as we work with ecosystem partners to expand playback support."
Phones Supported:
• HTC Incredible with Android 2.2
• HTC Nexus One with Android 2.2, 2.3
• HTC Evo 4G with Android 2.2
• HTC G2 with Android 2.2
• Samsung Nexus S with Android 2.3
And not available for the Mytouch 4G
Phones Supported:
• HTC Incredible with Android 2.2
• HTC Nexus One with Android 2.2, 2.3
• HTC Evo 4G with Android 2.2
• HTC G2 with Android 2.2
• Samsung Nexus S with Android 2.3
So we know it's not the hardware.

My Mom has this phone. I'm going to install it on her phone. Then pull the .apk for my phone.. Hopefully it'll work.
EDIT::
According to NetFlix's blog, they are rolling out phone support in stages not to overwhelm the servers.
So i'm sure support is coming but not as of right now.
EDIT PT2
a buddy of mine just emailed the .apk from his G2. I'm playing with it now. i'm no developer so i'm just doing the basics. If a known dev wants the .apk to play with please PM me.
EDIT PT3
sounds works. Video doesn't. as of currently.
edit pt4
tried fixing permissions. Video plays for about 5 seconds then the phone kicks back to them main netflix screen.
Im running the Canadian pure sense ROM for glacier/panache. When I try to install it from the website it says choose device to install: HTC Panache.
Maybe if im running CM7 it will recognize it as a Samsung Nexus S? like tango did on cm7, with that flipped camera situation
apk - yes please!
Anyone out there that gets it please pull the apk!
Anyone know how to trick the market/netflix into thinking we have a different phone?
I'm sure it's in the build.prop
ro.build.produt = ?? a phone that works with netflix
ro.build.?? = ??
Any help would be great.
edit:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.1-update1/ESE81/29593:user/release-keys
except we need the fingerprint of a phone that works with netflix
edit 2:

Found it, but it's not working properly...

Looks like the video is about to play and then it just cuts out. dang...so close.
I'd like to get this to work on my MyTouch 4G AND my GTab!
someone posted in the evo4g forum. installed the apk but not working on the leaked 2.3.4 gingerbread rom. audio plays but no video just a white screen. Let me know if any of you on stock or cm are successful.

worked that way for me, and I'm not even running stock, I'm running a gingerbread sense 2.1 rom

i put the .apk in the "working netflix" app thread. However mine isn't working on my CM7 phone.
looks like we might have to roll back to 2.3.2 or 2.3.3

everything works in 2.3.4 but when i start a stream it starts to load, i hear something, but then it goes back to the main menu
Core Droid Rom works fine with netflix app.
I copied build.prop to other roms and still go the same thing white screen with audio.
BTW. Netflix up is not connected to Flash 10.3 like some suggested.
I was able to stream with Flash uninstalled.
For those who have virtuous fusion rom installed on their mytouch, evil dee stated than an update for the rom would be available sometime today with netflix working on the updated rom as well.

Thanks to my Brother-in-law who worked hard to get this to work.
Ok, So here is what you guys want, what you have to do and yes you have to use Gingerbread 2.3.3 so revert back to RoyalGinger 1.5 if you want to use Netflix.
You can follow these steps or use Root Explorer and do it from the phone just make sure you reboot after completing the code in build.prop.
1. Copy /system/build.prop to your sdcard
(In terminal) cp /system/build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
2. Copy from the sdcard to your computer
3. Open the file in Wordpad
4. Change the lines below:
==================
ro.product.model=HTC Glacier
ro.product.brand=tmobile
ro.product.name=glacier
ro.product.device=glacier
ro.product.board=glacier
==================
to:
==================
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.brand=tmobile
ro.product.name=vision
ro.product.device=vision
ro.product.board=vision
===================
5. Copy the file back to your sdcard
6. Mount the android system to be read/write by using the command below:
(in terminal) mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
7. Copy the file from the sdcard to the system directory
(in terminal) cp -f /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop
8. Make the system read only again
(in terminal) mount -o remount,ro /dev/mtdblock3 /system
9. Reboot your phone
10. Download Netflix from the market
But it does work just got done letting my kid watch Thomas and Friends. So enjoy.

LOL....dont see reloading your entire phone for a single app to work as much of a "fix". Besides....these instructions have been posted online in other locations for quite some time.

Prerequisite:
1) 3G Flyer
2) S-Off (get yours from Alpharev soon!)
3) Root
Using root explorer or your favorite text editor edit the build.prop file under /system/build.prop and edit the following lines:
Code:
ro.ril.reject.cs.ss.enabled=0
ro.ril.reject.mo.ussd.enabled=0
ro.phone.function=1
To enable Bt Headset profile change the following:
Code:
ro.bt.profiles = 4270403
service.brcm.bt.ag_supported = 1
Save your changes and reboot your device. Look under the programs menu you will see the phone app you will now be able to make and receive calls.
Tested on a 3G UK unlocked flyer using an AT&T SIM.
EDIT: now with full BT support!!
Enjoy!
Aha, i was just looking for that, awesome, thanks!
Now someone please find out to enable the FULL market for us. Changing simply the fingerprint does not work!
Updated post to include full BT support!
Hello clubtech,
Can this be done with just temp-root? Since /system/build.prop is the only file we need to edit.
Thanks.
Nope. I tried it and it didn't catch. must be S-off.
Just out of curiosity, would a modification of this work on the view? I realize that our plans don't include it but it would be nice to mess with.

This is unlikely because the changes made in the said config file:
1. Cannot be saved and
2. When you reboot, root is lost.
S-Off is what we now need. Indeed, fingers crossed.

I am sure that BT part would work the View,a s for call - it might.
works but a little delayed but great find
with temp root:
adb shell cat /system/build.prop > /data/build.prop
adb pull /data/build.prop
open pulled build.prop with notepad++ or whatever text editor you like, make changes suggested by OP. save file
adb push build.prop /data/build.prop
reboot .. and done
theory says that if a different build.prop file is in /data will overwrite the one from /system (same principle applies to apps from /system that when are updated in market new versions are installed to /data and system uses the ones from /data instead of ones from /system)
Did not work for me.
I changed both build.prop in /system and /data but after reboot both of them back to default!

It won't work with temp root only. You need permanent root and s-off. The reason being is that the phone is designed to (when s-on) check on boot if any changes have been made to system files. If they have been made, it will automatically revert them back to the original file. That is why "temp-root" won't persist between reboot, and this is the reason I believe it is not working for you. When you reboot the phone, it is just reverting the changes you made to the build.prop file. Sorry, but I think that you will have to way until AlphaRev releases their s-off method.
Once they release their s-off method it should work.
I have an AT&T Atrix 4G with system version 4.5.91 and android version 2.3.4. I am a Noob to the Android platform and researched this extensively on the web but I am still unsure about how to or if I need to Deodex my phone. I have rooted the phone using Petes Motorola Root Tools v1.05 (worked awesome) and downloaded several recommended apps for rooted phones. I want to use the modification to unlock the Webtop using the HDMI cable without the dock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980193). All web sites say the phone needs to be deodexed before performing this modification. Is my phone already deodexed? Do I need to deodex my Atrix? Is there an auto-deodexer program that will work for this phone? How do I back everything up before deodexing my phone (I use Titanium Backup app)? Any help would be greatly appreciated and sorry for being a Noob! I LOVE this Phone!!!! Might even have to get rid of the ole lady so I can spend more time with my Atrix 4G!!! LOL

Thank you for your post. I have read this topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=how+to+deodex) and because I am such a super noob with Android here is where I get confused:
I am assuming that when I first run xUltimate v2.2 my USB connenction should be set to none????? I do have USB Debugging and Unknown Sources enabled.
1. Unzip xUltimate v2.2, and launch "Main.exe"
2. If everything goes well xUlt should recognize the phone and make a connection. You now should see a list of options.
3. Run option 1. After option 1 is done, run option 2.
4. Now these well take a while. Run option 3.
5. IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "guava.odex". It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process.
6. Now run option 4, and wait.
7. Exit xUltimate, and put the phone in USB mass storage.
8. Go back into the xUltimate folder and copy "done_frame", and "done_app", and move them to the root of the sdcard.
How do I access the root of sdcard and have the ability to copy them?
9. Put the phone in PC mode
I have never seen an option for PC Mode in my USB connection. Does this get installed in the previous steps or do I enable this in settings somewhere?
10. Open a command prompt, and do the following:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex

Lol look you dont need to deodex jus do a search for nebtop download and install and it will emulate the webtop dock so it works via hdmi without a webtop and no mods needed.

CyanogenMod 9 for TF201 built by myself (on a VM). The device and vendor trees have been developed by the awesome folks over at http://androidroot.mobi/ . I have not contributed directly to any CM9 development nor the vendor/device trees for the TF201.
Disclaimer:
I have decided to release my build for the community that wishes to try out CM9. This build comes with no support from me. If you have success getting it to run wonderful, if not you are on your own figuring out what went wrong. This release does flash a different boot.img and is not compatible with stock nor any other ROM release that does not contain its own boot.blob.
Now that you've read the disclaimer... The goods.
Basic System:
Cyanogenmod 9.0.0-RC0-tf201-KANG IML74K
Stock Kernel (2.6.39.4-00005-g6039e71, [email protected] #1)
Android 4.0.3
most hardware should be working as it is using a stock kernel.. with some issues with the dock, see below
Known Dock Issues:
Onscreen touch keyboard pops up when docked, when tapping text boxes.
Dock battery level not detected
Only a few soft keys work:
browser, media playlist back, play/pause media, media playlist forward, volume down, volume up, lock
Installation Notes:
remember to umount system & staging before installing the zip
please wipe your data/factory reset
Download:
Once official nightly builds are downloadable and confirmed useable, I will no longer regularly update this build.
Latest Build (with SD Card fix)

The source for AndroidRoot's vendor and device trees is located at https://github.com/AndroidRoot/
and also, the source code for CM9 is at https://github.com/CyanogenMod .

Manual fix for MicroSD/SD mounts:
The newest build should now contain this MicroSD/SD Card fix.
Using ADB
adb shell
su
mkdir /Removable/MicroSD
mkdir /Removable/SD
mkdir /Removable/USBdisk1
mkdir /Removable/USBdisk2
Or open a terminal emulator app:

mkdir /Removable/SD
mkdir /Removable/USBdisk1
mkdir /Removable/USBdisk2
Can someone post an updated video of this? What cm settings are working at the moment?
Works great! make sure umount system & staging before installing the zip
if you forget! go to diamondback's thread and flash boot.img.... so if you want be4 you even do this, go copy his boot.img to your sdcard, so you dont have to push it lol
Do we need to install gapps at all for this?
I went to advanced - changed unmount/system to mount and changed unmount/staging to mount, then installed and rebooted and all is working great.
Doesn't see the external sd card but I haven't messed with settings yet but I need to get the market apk on there. I'll edit post once I locate it.

So we have to manually unmount in an adb shell whilst in cwm?
what is the command
I did it in recovery...but I'm not very good at adb.
Latest link for gapps - http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-ics-20120224-signed.zip
I'm assuming you wiped data/factory reset also? As well as the mounts.
I added the google apps link to the OP..
Though I have not personally tested them.
Just installed this and GAPPs at the same time
All seems to be working except what was mentioned in OP.
Just make sure in CWM you go to Mounts and Storage and unmount staging and system first
Speed on Antutu isn't what I'd had hoped. Gapps worked fine. Just need to find how to get ext sd to be seen.

Not sure it will work but the Transformer and Prime are very similar in their filesystems and such.

Confirmed this works. I added the directories via the terminal emulator.

I don't know about the other variants, but on the T-Mobile flavor of the LG G2 the default TTS is LG's. It sounds better than Pico, for sure, but it's still too robotic and mispronounces a few things. I couldn't put up with that. I set off to figure out how to get GoogleTTS back. It took a lot of google-fu, but in the end I had achieved my goal, to have that sweet voice talking to me again.
Before you begin, know that you'll need root access to continue.
Step 1: Download the latest GAPPS for your device (as of writing this, it's gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip): http://goo.im/gapps
NOTE: gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip IS FOR ANDROID 4.3! WATCH WHAT YOU DOWNLOAD!
Step 2: Unzip the zip to your computer or your phone's sdcard. Alternatively, if you have an application like Solid Explorer installed on your phone, you can simply browse the zip for the files I mention below without unzipping the whole thing.
Step 3: Mount /system as read/write
Step 4: Copy system/lib/libpatts_engine_jni_api.so and system/lib/libspeexwrapper.so to /system/lib/ and copy system/app/GoogleTTS.apk to /system/app/
Step 5: Fix the permissions of the above files to 644 and change the ownership to root:root
Step 6: Mount /system as read only
Step 7: Reboot
Step 8: Set Google TTS as your new TTS engine (under Language & input -> Text-to-speech output)
Step 9: ???
Step 10: Profit
TL;DR:
Download GAPPS
Unzip GAPPS to /sdcard/gapps/
Run the following commands:
Code:
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# cp /sdcard/gapps/system/lib/libpatts_engine_jni_api.so /system/lib/
# cp /sdcard/gapps/system/lib/libspeexwrapper.so /system/lib/
# cp /sdcard/gapps/system/app/GoogleTTS.apk /system/app/
# chmod 644 /system/lib/libpatts_engine_jni_api.so /system/lib/libspeexwrapper.so /system/app/GoogleTTS.apk
# chown root:root /system/lib/libpatts_engine_jni_api.so /system/lib/libspeexwrapper.so /system/app/GoogleTTS.apk
# mount -o remount,ro /system
Reboot
Set Google TTS as your TTS engine
EDIT:
If you simply want Google Maps to say street names there's no need to install GoogleTTS (even though it sounds loads better). Simply do the following:
Clear Google Maps data (Settings -> Apps -> Google Maps)
Uninstall Google Maps updates (In Google Play, go to Google Maps)
Update Google Maps
Excellent write up.
Fortunately for us Verizon had chosen to mange dine actually useful mods to this phone, for a change. We have the the Google tts.

Excellent! Thanks for taking the time.
EDIT: Are you sure the zip will flash? I'm looking at the updater script and it looks like it requires busybox. Also, it deletes files as if it were flashing a full GAPPS package, which this isn't so that may not be best. Finally, it attempts to extract a non-existent file (install-optional.sh, which is normally included with GAPPS, but not this zip). Don't get me wrong, thanks for creating this, but I'm not sure it'll work.

That is the zip. Apparently Google drive is allowing you to view the contents. Just hit File->Download or press CTRL+S (CMD+S if on a mac) to download it. It looks like this zip includes the PICO TTS files, which you don't need, though.
Thanks for posting this. I kind of liked the LG TTS sample voice, but as I mentioned in my thread a few days ago, it wouldn't do street names. That said, I'm not looking to root just yet, but this will be one of the first things I do when I feel like rooting. Thanks.

I had the same issue with street names, but it's not LG TTS, it's Google Maps. I cleared all data for Google Maps, uninstalled all updates for Google Maps, then updated it again. It then started working (I've had this happen before on other phones as well). The thing that kills me about LG's TTS is it can't pronounce "street", it says "suh-treet". That gets REALLY annoying when you're naving.
As for rooting, it's actually dead easy. It takes longer to download the zip file with everything you need than it does to actually root, and since you don't have to unlock the bootloader or anything there's no hint that you've done anything to your phone and everything is reversible by simply flashing the stock ROM back on (or even just a factory reset).

Oh yeah, I've rooted before. I had to in order to get my E4GT to last my two-year contract (minus two weeks). I'm still in my 14-day period with T-Mobile, and I'm testing both the phone and the network. So far, both are very good. After that, I'll consider it. This and a few other tips I've picked up in the forums seem like things I'd like to add to the phone. And certainly if we're not slated to get KitKat for an extended period, as the E4GT took forever to get ICS.
Good to hear that it is working for you again.
works good on tmo thank you

It uses the Gapps script. It works fine. I flashed before I posted.
Up on google play now. Just installed it.

I see problem with google tts from months. I use it in my automagic scipts as voice interface. Very often saying something finishing an unknown error in tts module. It is not connected to custom ROM, I see it in los, havoc and arrow, in los 18.1 and 16. It is even in miui.
Does any other see similar problems?
