Anyone know of a workaround for getting the official March Madness Live app on the Photon? Market says it is not compatible but surely it would run fine on it.
Apk can be found here. Installs and runs fine.

Awesome. Thanks for this. Not sure why I didn't find this when searching. Must of been doing too many things at once.
I gave you your first thanks. Congrats.

I'll tell you why this is great, someone here had link to app for $19.99 (for one month of use) and it did not do, IMO, 1/3 of what this app does!
Well....tried to stream the games with the app tonight and no dice. I get the video and just a blank screen.
Can't believe that this app works on the Atrix but not the Photon. Anyone know of what might be keeping this app from doing the video?
I would love to get this working if possible.
I have some information that tells me this app will stream on the Photon. A co-worker of mine text me the other night and said it was streaming fine for him. He has a company provided Photon same as me (got them at same time), we both are running rooted stock, but mine does not work. Had him send me the apk he installed but it didn't work for me.
Not sure what I can do to get this to work but at least I know it does work on the Photon.
It seems like the APK I have is 4mb larger than the one on the market.

I have no idea what this will do to people that don't have the new update. Please install with extreme caution.
I deleted this in my Bloatware killing craze a few days ago. I decided I wanted to try it again after I found out about Sammy's little coming out party today. I'm assuming that some of the other's who updated to JI2 might have done the same thing. I searched the threads and didn't see that anyone pushed this yet. If this is a duplicate, please delete. This is my first "push post", so if there are any other issues please delete.
Stick on SD card, find it with "files" and install the .APK. Once again, I have no idea what this will do to Original firmware.
Also, I read somewhere that the movies you buy/rent might not work. LOL, hey but it's fun to watch the previews. If someone has purchased or rented a movie let us know.
Works great. thanks for posting.
working fine on stock rom...but looks useless
Says "Your location is not known or supported." Is that a bug?
Seems to work for me, but would be nice if there was some free content, otherwise its pretty much a waste for me right now.
I rented the Blues Brothers a few days ago and whenever I try playing it it says your phone does not support the required file format, even though I have eugene's newest rom installed. Any ideas?

I'm going to assume that they will push the codec with the official update. You do have JI2 right?

I do have JI2, and apparently that codec wasn't inclucded in the leaked update from a few weeks ago Ahh well...hopefully it'll come soon, but I'm not counting on it.
This might be the silver lining we all have been waiting for. Sammy wants out media hub money so they have to make it work. On that train of thought some sort of update should be coming.

disregard i am looking for the Media Hub app for the Galaxy Tab.
ok I am a little confuse...the Evo 3D came out last week and its able to run netflix(friend is running it right now as we speak). So why the thunderbolt that been out for nearly four months still cannot run netflix officially?
The 3D isn't an official device either yet. They still have to side load the .apk.
basically it's not about "being able to run it" it's getting the digital rights of the netflix media locked down to satisfy the studios.
Netflix is running great on my BAMF GingerREMIX 2.1 Thunderbolt.
If I want to run Netflix on a tiny screen, my iPod Touch is still hanging in there.
Still don't see the mass appeal to run Netflix on anything smaller than at least a tablet. Not worth it really. I'd like to have it for rare occasions where it would be nice but w/e really.

It may not be but you can load the apk and play it without rooting etc. Ok cool that some people don't care about running netflix on "a tiny screen" but I do and I just don't understand why I am not able to use it
Theres a simple answer. Because its not in the software that shipped with the thunderbolt. The Evo 3D shipped with the necessary DRM files for it to work, but the thunderbolt did not. These file's are in the gingerbread roms though that are working on rooted thunderbolts so i believe it will come to the unrooted folks with gingerbread.
Another great reason to root.

For the last time...it's not DRM causing the problem. It's due code missing in the stagefright media libraries. Please read the Netflix threads in the development forum and application forum before spreading more false information to people (who will in turn also spread that false info).

Probably will with gingerbread, assuming they fix the libraries or make their current apk work around it. If not, everyone that rooted already has it on gingerbread just from flashing the needed libraries into it. Can't say for sure for those without root. I dont think anyone knows aside from netflix for sure. I know at least the HTC Inspire which is mostly just a GSMv3 version of our phone has to flash the library fix as well. It came out about a few weeks before our phone as well.
Not sure if you did not root or you just didnt notice that netflix worked on Gingerbread for the Thunderbolt yet, but it's already possible if you're willing to ignore the rules some
As for hulu+ it's just a check, but I havent had time to try to remove it and I need someone else to test it. I loiter on IRC so if you want hulu+ and see me on there, feel free to ask.

same here. I work too much, and would rather spend time doing other things (like sleeping) than rooting. It's my plan to root eventually, but i just haven't justified the time to learn it yet.

So is there a version of the library fix for the rooted MR1 ROM yet, or is it still being worked on?
As of right now, I believe its still being worked on.

Just felt like mentioning the newest Netflix (backed up from my Droid with TiBu) works perfectly fine on CM7 RC1.1 without the lib fix. I had to apply the fix on RC0.6 but seemed to work fine to begin with on RC1.1. I'm not sure if something with stagefright changed in that time but nice that it works.

Getting closer...
Looks okay , But was hoping for more a Honeycomb GUI , as ive just got rid of a 2.3 Tablet to get the HP touch pad to flash to 3.0 but will 3.0 ever happen for the Touch pad ?
The general consensus seems to be that HC will not appear on the TP; as the source code was never released by Google.
What is more likely to happen is that 2.3.5 will be on the initial CM release for the Pad; with ICS being the next logical step, once it's released.
I may be wrong,
But I believe that is the long and short of it.
Hope this helps.
ugh! I would settle for 1.6 just so it is not the ugly webOS cripple.
I actually kind of like WebOS.
The not-having-multiple-screens-to-swipe-left-or-right thing takese a bit of getting used to (I'm not sued to it yet).
But I do like bouncing apps away, to close them.
That being said,
I definitely favor Android over all other O/S.

I am really hoping this progresses fast and works well. I actually enjoy webOS card system but the lack of apps is disappointing. I would much rather be able to run android on a card.
Either way though, I plan on installing android whether it's dual boot or via card.

I installed it and it works fine (for what works at least). Anyone know how to actually install another app into it? I downloaded an APK and put it in the apks folder (in webOS) but I don't know where to look for it within chroid. Is this even possible? The guide says you can do it.

if you want to O/C again, you have to doctor 3.0.2 back on, then redo the preware etc.
as for the apps, put them in that folder and they will auto install, thats what i did, and got titanium installed (even tho its useless/keeps crashing, i had it available)
3.0.3

When you install chroid, don't go into govnah while its installed, when you uninstall chroid, you should be fine and not have to worry. That way you wont have to doctor all the time

So I wanted to buy the game from market, but it's saying it's incompatible with photon in my market. I know that's not true because my friend bought Gta from the market on his photon, and even the notes say it's for the photon 4g. My question, is the market recognizing my device incorrectly or how can I fix this? I'm stock and rooted. Markets updated, I tried clearing updates and market cache already.
send me a pm.
I'm playing it right now and its almost perfect. Minor glitches are to be expected though. Still plays like a dream...

I have 4 epics linked to my gmail and 3 of the 4 are compatible but the Photon isn't. Its a rock star glitch on the market
I'm just stock rooted (locked bootloader) on the latest SBF.
The game was developed on a tegra 3 so tegra 2 phones should all work. The photon was supposedly tested before release and again it works great for me. I purchased the game from market.
Edit: I forgot to mention I'm running the latest market that hasn't been pushed through (released) by Google yet I think it's 3.4.4 etc blah blah.
I know it works, I've tested it on other photons and there's no lag at all. Just aggravating knowing its on other photon markets but not mine.

What market version are you on? I can give you a link to the version I'm on if you're not already on 3.4.4. And yes, that sucks that you can't get it.
When I search GTA III, I get 3 different one's from Rockstar, only one shows compatable. Try looking at all 3 in market until you find compatable version.

I have the same version lol. I search for Gta spelt out and other items appear. I click on a shared direct market link from a friend and it says incompatible. When I go to market on pc browser, it says it's compatible with my photon from November (before I factory restored) but not with this one. Nothing changed, both stock, both rooted, same accounts. Never ran into this problem.

There's a clumsy app called Sixaxis Controller which emulates screen presses. It's far from good but it's as good as it gets right now.

It is still saying its not compatible with any of my devices except my Thunderbolt.
I really wanted to buy this but they aren't letting me....
so i've been trying to get google now on ICS, and there's a TON of mods out there that supposedly work for ICS...ive flashed a couple and they don't seem to be working, so i've been reverting back to regular google search...
if anyone else attempts this and gets it working, or knows of a mod that would work on our phone, i would appreciate it
for now I will keep looking into the thousands of pages of xda threads about this lol
