Hello my Thunderbolt friends,
I know that the app was just released, but I was curious if it was being worked on to stream on our phones. I have the regular .apk installed, but it won't stream, just like Netflix used to be. I don't know anything at all about ripping apart .apk's but it seems like it could be fixed by removing the "device check" code similar to Netflix's app. Anyone know anything about it?
Thanks!
Seen a couple post about People working on it. Also there is a mod in the android development section that let's July.com work
Yeah, I'd be interested in something as well...
I've been running it for quite awhile now... Check this thread out for all the info you'll need to get it going

Installs and starts on the Vibrant. All features appear to work with the exception of streaming at the moment. Even without streaming, I find it to be a very useful app.
I can also confirm working on vibrant, Pretty useful. Cant wait for it to be updated with streaming video.
netflix, lol
I am more than willing to bet that all that is needed is for them to flick a switch on (if they wanted too). After installing the app, go sign into your Netflix account and check out your authorized devices. My device was identified by it being an Android device and when you click it for details, you get our phone's model number. The funny thing is that it says the word 'obsolete' by the type of device it is. I know that phones without a particular type of snapdragon won't work, but if it weren't for all this extra silly security they want, I know it would work for us, lol!
---------
BTW, the message you get after you attempt to stream: "Sorry we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. If the problems persists please visit netflix.com. (1005)" - Has anyone tried to call Netflix and ask them what this means? Lol, I know that I won't!
I wrote this in the other thread...
"Could the issue be related to our Vibrants not passing a DRM check? I'm pretty t I read when that a DRM check was needed to stream with Netflix (and also the upcoming Hulu app).
Maybe someone can rip out the coding the requires the check."
Maybe a mod should merge these two threads.
Not an actual working app...plus there is another thread with the same topic in General
Cheers,

There is a hack going around that I have been playing around with that unfortunetly I have not been able to get working. It is an edit for the Build.Prop file in \system. (this does require a root and some sort of root explorer) (I've tried some of the other "hacked" APK's, but I can't deal with crappy video)
Take a quick look at this article on Reddit:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/ha5oh/root_how_to_edit_your_buildprop_to_make_netflix/
After looking at that for a while I started tooling around.
Changes I made :
ro.product.model=Nexus S (Replacing MB860)
ro.product.model.internal=Nexus S (Replacing MB860)
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung (Replacing motorola)
So basically, this is supposed to fool the device check by making the application think you are using an accepted device. Like I said I haven't been able to get it to work. If anyone can see any other changes to make, any input would be appreciated. Hopefully we can get this working and share it with the community, until Netflix decided to come to their senses.
I've attached the Official Netflix app if anyone needs it
Already a working app..
Someone already posted a APK that bypasses the check.. there are video issues with colors, but that is the Atrix screen not the App...
also i'm pretty sure root explorer is a paid app, so posting that here violates terms and conditions

How is it the screen? (not arguing, I just don't know)
I was hoping that this might just fix that problem

It something to do with either hardware acceleration of how the app handles teh qHD screen. the Watch ESPN app does thes same thing.
also this method is not a good idea when compared to using the modified APK, because you are editing your actual system files through this way. and as said before this has been discussed and a different way found already on this forum.

The Atrix has a higher resolution screen than every other android phone currently available. An app, especially a graphically intensive video app, has to be designed to scale up to this resolution. Not to say it can't work, just doesn't yet.

what can I use to modify the apk? I have the modified apk already, but I want to take a look

if you don't already know how to modify APKs, then you're in over your head.

Thanks downloading right now
I had success getting Netflix to work on Viewsonic G-Tablet running CM 7.0.3.
I used the instructions posted by natemckn at reddit. As a noob, I'm not able to post links to the XDA forum (yet), so you'll need to search for the instructions on reddit or google. The post is titled "[ROOT] How to edit your build.prop to make Netflix work on unsupported devices."
Specifically, I modified these two lines in build.prop:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
Also, I moved NetFlix to my external SD card.
Rebooted, everything works like a champ.

There's already a thread discussing all of this. Please avoid duplicate threads.
I'm currently using the latest MiniCM7 on my X10 mini.
The one app I'm really missing is the official Natwest App. It doesn't appear in the market on my phone and if I look it up on the android market on my computer then I am told it is incompatible. I'm just curious as to whether people on other ROMS are able to download it? Maybe I could modify something to make it compatible.
Apparently a lot of people have had similar problems, trying to run a UK banking app on anything other than a stock ROM.
I had a quick Google hunt about this and quite a few people suggest using the app, Bank Control, which apparently works with Natwest as well as some other banks. Some have talked about editing the phone's build.prop as well.
Not much help, I know, but hopefully this may be useful to you.
I've been reluctant to try Bank Control as its not officially supported by Natwest. I've finally given it a go and now can't register with it for some reason.
I'm interested in modifying the build.prop. People seem to have had success on other phones by editing the ro.build.fingerprint. Could somebody post that line from a stock X10 mini so I could give it a go? Or could I use the ro.build.fingerprint from a different phone without it affecting anything?
Well, I could..but it might be easier if I just gave you the whole thing and you can pick the bits you need..
I've had to zip it because .prop files can't be attached here.
Worked like an absolute charm, thanks a lot!
In case anyone searches for this I changed the ro.build.fingerprint line to
Code:
ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/U20i_1238-7173/U20i/delta:2.1-update1/2.1.1.A.0.6/-X_d:user/release-keys
Didn't have to change anything else.
No problem, I'm glad it worked out.
looking for an app for that allows couples to flirt/foreplay with each other on their own separate devices. all i can find are those dice games.
You mean with someone you know, or some random person?

I get your drift, and I can see how something like that could be really popular. I know some folks are really addicted to these social games where they take turns and play with someone. Taking that idea into a romantic direction would work, I'd think. Something on the order of "Draw Something" or "Words With Friends" that was password protected and was on the order of "Truth or Dare" or something like that might find a huge market...particularly if you could attach audio or pictures. SMS just isn't a perfect substitute because it doesn't bring in the "game" aspect or provide the same kind of "rules" or "choices".

thank you for thinking outside the box to see the kind of app i'm looking for. we do the "texting" thing. i'm looking for something different. something that could promote new ideas and things to do. something that takes some of the control away.
App for Couples
There is a new app for couples out that could provide you with something of what you are looking for.
Search iLoveNote on Google Play for Android Devices. The App is awaiting release in the App store for IOS devices.
I was also looking for a similar app. I found an app so I want to make happy to my girlfriend with my performance.:
I've noticed a constant fc problem with google's most recent app updates and wanted to give a bit of help for those who would like to stick to ICS, but couldn't really find a place to get older versions of the apps that are acting up. Feel free to post any other Youtube/Google Music workarounds/apk's you may be using on ICS (as they may be more up-to-date or have some other added benefit); as well as any others that may occur.
These might be old, but it has been CONFIRMED that they still work with ICS,
Google Play Music 4.1.513
Youtube (forgot which version it is though; care to help me remember?)
NEW apks-
Modified Google Play Music, Movies and YouTube apks (Be sure to read around a little)
I wanted to refrain from posting this, as I was hoping google would fix these things soon, but by the looks of it everything that was messed up is still screwed...
Also, I'd like to thank existz for all the time and effort he puts into fixing things for his users; which in turn allows me to bring some useful info here to our device section.
[EDIT: This is probably deprecated. PM me if you feel this needs re-opening]
I've been having the same issue. Thanks for posting these up. Hopefully this gets pinned somewhere for future reference. Shame they stopped working.
Thanks for this. I was hoping too that G would get it fixed but it's nice to have links to known stable apps.
Tapatalking from my v.2.5 Resurrected Dark Unicorn Glacier
OP updated with a link to newer apks (idk what version they are, as I have yet to try them, but these are versions that used to FC and are now modded/fixed for ICS). Big thanks to existz for having such helpful and well-maintained source, which allowed me to find this. Let me know how it goes for you guys
Cheers!
