[Q] question about FM radio and Netflix on GB - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just flashed my first gingerbread rom yesterday(asgard from EDT)
My main reason for upgrading to gingerbread was to be able to use netflix and fm radio. I looked in the market but I saw nothing. Oh and I couldnt get GPS to work either.
How do I get FM radio?
How do I get netflix? Is there an app?
How do I get GPS to work?

1) FM radio is a SGSII function. our phones do not have that capability. most custom roms have it in there just to "complete the set"
2) yes there is an app. however, from what i noticed, quite a few roms, for some odd reason, make it so that netflix doesnt show up in the market. only one that ive come across where it does show up, and you can download no problem are MIUI/CM7 roms.
3) GPS will only work with a few custom roms that support the EDT fix. i think. lol

r3skyline said it all. But my vibrant plays netflix fine on cm7

oh so no vibrant roms have working fm radio yet? or ever?
And is there somewhere I can get the netflix apk if not from the market?

The vibrant is missing key hardware in the FM module to allow FM to work. It's been physically cut out and will never work.
Also, if you search the themes and apps section under the vibrant, you'll find a noob's guide to netfilx on the vibrant.

CM7 Netflix and Flash

Running latest CM7 and have tried about all the netflix apk out there.
None worked so I gave up.
Closest I came was audio working, black screen (no video)
Today I was browsing the internet and the same problem occured when trying to play an embeded youtube video. (audio but no video)
So now Im assuming its a problem with flash?
If anyone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks

Netflix doesn't use flash on android, they stream stuff natively using stagefright and the OMX media framework. Though those 2 problems could be related, it's not due to flash. It's probably a problem with the system media libraries, but plenty have gotten media to work just fine on cm7.
So how do I go about making it work?
No idea, I would read through the CM7 development thread for related issues to yours. I don't use CM7 right now since it's too unstable so I can't debug and tell you directly. I just know what it isn't from my own messing with netflix and debugging it from trying to port the needed libraries to froyo. Some else might be able to chime in and give you a solution
Are you running the latest version of CM7?
yes running latest version
I got CM7 and NetFlix works perfect for me.......
CM7 06152011
Kernel - 2.6.35.13 Nerozehl Dream 2.0.3 Beta_AOSP+
Baseband 1.16.00.0223r
Netflix - Ver 1.2.1 build 843839-1.2.0-30
Hope that helps!

[Q] Stock rom with CM7 Bluetooth stack?

Hi there,
i like the stock rom with touchwiz, but i also would like to use the wiimote app which only works with an asop bluetooth stack like of cm7 or muiu. is there any chance to implement/use the cm7 bt stack with the stock rom?
cheers
canedha
Would be very nice indeed to have CM7 BT stack, I think its probably reasonably difficult, since nobody has done it yet. Hope I'm wrong!
since a couple of people showed their interest: push
I registered to find out whether i could do this. It's sad to see that nobody has answered this question...
It would be very difficult as the whole lot is tied in with the framework, you could just use touchwizz 4.5 which is a modified version of touchwizz to run on any rom, on cm7

I personally like in tochwiz not only how it looks bit also it's hardware video decoding capabilities, it's overall stability. I also want to play in emulators with Dualshock. Please developers implement CM7 bluetooth drivers in samsung rom.

Plex

I am at a loss here and hope someone can give me a hand. No video playback on any of my devices.
tested on so far.
Droid1 running 2.3
Incredible running 2.3
Thunderbolt running 2.2
Galaxy Tab running 3.1
AppleTV2 running whatver pos latest os is on there
my server is a Windows Home Server 2011. my router is a D-link 4500
Port 32400 is open to UDP/TCP also
tested playback on mkv,avi,wmv,mp4 and streaming plugin with all failing
no errors just dont play,
any help would be epic at this point..
are you able to access "http://homeserverIP:32400/manage/" on a desktop other than the home server?
The phones you listed, is that just stating what firmware they have or that they are streaming with that firmware?
Custom ROMS have been known to have issues, for instance, I stream no problem to my stock Captivate with 2.3.3 installed, but I have an issue streaming to my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with TW... (funny thing, both are leaks from Samsung not custom ROMS)
More info about the devices your trying to connect with might help.

I don't think many people run plex here. I only had an issue with getting plex working was when UPnP was enabled. I disabled the service and did the firewall settings and enabled it again, been working no problem since.
With as many devices you have trying to get working, you might be better off going to the plex forums and inquiring there. http://forums.plexapp.com/
I've read through before and they do not support custom roms, only stock. And as for the galaxy tab with calkin's, it does not work for me either but it does on stock honeycomb and the first KFC touchwiz release. I am hoping the new official touchwiz will work out of the box. Good luck!
I confirmed wont work w/ TW you happen to have a link to get me back to stock 3.1 US rom? i look in dev section and get overwhelmed lol

Yeah which version? The only one that worked for me was KFC release. So if its KFC based then its the Euro ROM and I am only interested in the US release.
I tested KM7 and KG8 and both did not work for me, but it did on my Captivate phone.

Yep, I have the KFC - Euro Rom. I plan on flashing back to stock tomorrow, in preparation for the update. If the update breaks PLEX... imma be pissed.

I haven't found a format it can't stream I have tested extensions *.mkv, *.divx, *.avi, *.m4v.
It did have some troubles with mkv that had DTSHD as the audio, but they have released two updates since and I have't tried again. I set all audio to downmix to stereo to help with keeping the bandwidth down.

Nice, have to try it
Since updating to UEKM7 on my tab, Plex no longer plays videos for me. Music still works. And I was never able to get my tablet to connect to Plex from outside of my network (no issues with Splashtop & Playon).

Yup, same here other than KFC. Waiting for the new TW to release to see if it works on there (crosses fingers)
do you think it is as simple as the netflix issue and just a lib has to be swapped out?

Best part is, if you have 1080p mkv, it'll stream also that well without any issues.

Couldn't you tune in via a web browser?
um, no AM tuner hardware = no AM radio app., besides with all the other crap in this phone, if it did have an AM tuner all it would pick up is noise.

Question Fm radio

Is there any way to install fm radio in op 9r?
No way, maybe.
Nope, haven't seen anything like that.... just streaming from browser or a store app...
Ya. You will need an app or browser to listen to radio.
