We need netflix! - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know this has been talked about before but come on, it's netflix in your pocket. Is there any way to get it to work on 2.2? I had it on miui cm7 just fine but of course its gingerbread. There has to be a way to trick it into thinking it's gingerbread. Or a way to swap the drm. That was the only thing keeping me on miui for as long as it did. But I couldn't afford the extremely low call volume.

Look around the main forums for the apk with the device check disabled and all.

Eh the updated versions are probably the isssue. The original modified versions worked fine for me. My wife's incredible is on froyo and she has Netflix and no problem watching the movies..weird.

I'm not positive on this as it has been awhile, but SOME Froyo phones were supported, I think. If I remember correctly though, the issue isn't with the build.prop, it has to do with some media framework that I cannot remember the name of, we lack it, so Netflix errors out.

Won't work on 2.2 with the fascinate. the closest you can get is the one that has a mod and device check disabled and with that you still can only get up to trying to stream the video and it gives an error. It does work fine with CM7 though, so if you want it that bad use a CM7 build.

The official apk doesn't have the device check anymore. They have a set of officially supported phones and they said if any other phone that isn't in there official list works, then it works.

Any Galaxy S on Gingerbread works, but no Galaxy S on Froyo works. We should be on the list for the next update though...

From what I know, it works on CM7 mtd & MIUI for me. However, Froyo is a no go.

[Q] What is the best Voodoo Kernel to go with ED01

I have stock ED01 on my Fascinate. I want to get a Voodoo kernel back on the phone to negate the lag. Not sure which Kernel would be the best one to get because I am a n00b
I to want to know what voodoo kernel to use someone please answer
I'm pretty sure any of the froyo kernels would be fine. Personally, I'm using nemesis' kernel since it has the most customization and it works fine.

Using jts kernel because of personal preference. Other ones are heavily modded. Namely undervolted a lot.

I use Nutty Kernel. Im a ultra heavy user and still get 14hrs + 32%. For moderate use, I think I can go for 3 days.

Cool I just flashed this rom. I like everything except the black everthing theme. Not a big fan but for now that stuff takes a back seat to working fast phone with good battery life.
So far this ROM is very fast. I am liking that. No showstoppers for me. No major bugs although I did have one lockup/reboot when I first opened the camera. Might need to pull the battery, because I haven't done that since before I flashed this ROM/Kernel.
Very nice overall.
I just flashed the new rom and I gotta say I love it....except for one thing. I can't seem to get any sound to work with the startup. I have the poweron.wav file in the right spot... i think... but still no sound. Can anyone confirm if the community rom allows startup sound?

Any 100% Gingerbread working Roms?

Ok, so I currently have Trigger 3.2 Final and Overstock Kernel installed. And I want to use the Netflix App. So, I want to install a Gingerbread Rom. But I don't want a buggy Rom installed. Don't want to Loose GPS or other futures. So, what Rom is the best? And works with Netflix? Thanks a million!

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
the odds of getting gps on gingerbread is about as likely as T-mobile giving you a sgs II for a free upgrade when they merge with At&T. As for the Netflix app it supported by 4 phones. Thats it so we're not being picked on here. it's about drm protection for better security. It makes logical sence. Not to mention it's new who knows what the future holds as the application matures.
GPS on the Galaxy phone was adaquate at best and terrible at worst. I personally believe it's a good trade off for a great rom to play with like CM7 or Miui. give it a shot if you absolutely can't live without the gps you can always flash back.

[Q] CM7 Gingerbread Vibrant bugs

What are the known bugs with the CM7 Gingerbread ROM for the Vibrant?
I'm considering rooting and flashing my Vibrant to get better speed, but I don't know which ROM is the best for me. I've read that CM7 is popular.
Currently only one. Battery. Batter life will be around 30-40% shorter than on Froyo ROMs. Except...if you were getting 23 hours on a charge to be getting around 16.
He's right. Just battery. I used to have all sorts of problems with ginger, but it was either user error or I was using very beta-builds. Now 2.3.4 is incredibly stable with just a lil bit more battery drain than you are used to. My suggestion: try out trigger redux. Its a fantastic daily driver.

Where did you get the 2.3.4? I have the same phone as you with Firmware version 2.2, baseband version T959UVKA6, Kernel version 2.2.32.9 and Build number Froyo.UVKA6. A friend of mine put this on my phone and I don't really understand how it all works. Will 2.3.4 give me anything more?

Yeh but what more will this give me than what I have now?
For one. Snappier browser. Secondly, I was able to install the nvidia tegra drivers to be able to play games like samurai 2 vengeance. Oh, and you get the useless, yet sought out tv off animation. And until today, netflix [its available for froyo now]. You can google the rest. Seriously, the whole UI is snappier than bionix or trigger ever was. Its awesome how quick it really is.

I'd suggest the CM7 nightly builds. Cyanogenmod 7 is about as good as it gets which is why it is on so many devices.
The only bug your going to notice is that on some of the Gingerbread roms the GPS may not be working, although there is a fix which allows you to lock GPS everytime within 30 seconds literally...
As far as battery life, with CM7 I was lucky to get about 8-10 hours on medium usage, but after I switched out the stock kernel for Glitch's kernel i'm doing a full day, overclocked to 1300mhz undervolted daily.... and it runs beautifully.

hi,can you post a link,i don`t know how to change kernel for Cyanogenmod 7(for vibrant please),for a while i used this rom,and abandoned it because of poor battery life(i have flashed bionix 1.3.1)
Thanks
a couple of bugs i personally had when I was on the latest nightly build were:
Random Reboots: the phone just randomly rebooted when it felt like it wanted to :/ then I saw one of the specific reboots it happened when i tried to put the phone to sleep while entering text it rebooted for no reason i was able to succesfully duplicate this bug many times
Horrible performace: i wasn't every able to play this 720p mkv file i had on the CM7 rom apparently because gingerbread doesn't have hardware acceleration :/ or CM7 for vibrant didn't at least.
Now im testing froyo roms like the bionix 1.31 and the project V and they don't have any of those bugs

Low 3D framerate issues
Text written in landscape dissapears from fields when the phone is rotated to portait mode (May be limited to the Wells Fargo app)
SD cards do not re-mount in Android after being mounted to a PC unless the USB cable is disconnected and reconnected after turning off USB mounting

Nothing wrong with "plain CM7", but Birgertime's version is hardly a knockoff. If it weren't for him, we'd still be using mute/unmute on calls in CM7 and GPS would still not work. Many of his fixes have been rolled back into the official CM7 for Vibrant.

check cyanognemod.com forums for the device, and see what people are saying about it.
however, since you posted this in the vibrant themes and apps section your chances of getting an answer go down... significantly
if you really want to you can go through the change log http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=cdma_shadow
or go through all of the cdma_shadow commits on gerrit http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,st...yanogenMod/android_device_motorola_shadow,n,z

actually the gps fix was done by karl hegbloom, Roman pulled the commit and put it into his build after Atin passed on it (there is more to the story and some more tweaking was done by all parties)

No intention of knocking any of the other Dev's here at all. In most cases that "I've" seen, ROMS built off of CM7 which already has issues of its own, tend to have more issues than not. I haven't tried any other GB ROM other than CM7 so I don't have any experience with them. I do know CM7 has worked perfectly for me so far, and I do know most of the problems encountered are from the end users.
Cheers
EDIT: Is phiremod even Birgertime's ROM? It's also built off of CM7 #74.

there is a phiremod based of GB in rootzwiki

Can we safely assume CM7 is not going to get updated anymore?

Given that dragonzillar is working on CM9 now?
why not ask dzk?

What really needs to be updated in CM7? I'm sure if there was a big enough issue or if Cyanogenmod came out with a new update, he will update ours.
Just dsp manager and I believe some options in the Tom that contradict eachother in all the different settings. Lol

Since there is an official new kernal that should be put in. Which is why i don't use any of these new roms cause all of those (cm7, cm9, and miui) all uses 2.3.4 crappy kernal.
It would be nice if he did that.

If God (dzk) uses 2.3.4 there must be a reason. of course maybe he doesn't know anything about it, and is really lucky... Doubt it.

Well at least wifi is not working well for me. It is very slow to connect, and sometimes I need a reboot to make it work. Otherwise, it stays in the scan->connect loop forever. I saw this on touchpad before, so this maybe a CM7 issue, but it is far from perfect.

The 2.3.5 Kernel is not stable. I ran it for about a week and then thankfully got the 2.3.6 update! The Kernel freezes and lags the phone horribly. Be lucky you are not on this kernal
I ran it with the Milestone X2
I personally hope he's devoting all his time to CM9!
