Netflix

greengoldmello · May 12, 2011

They finally released Netflix for android..but its only for the g2, nexus one and s, evo, and a couple other phones. I just sold my g2 so I'm a bit jealous. Is it possible somebody can hack the apk?

Here is the apk compliments of the EVO 4g forum.

The app installs and you can log in to your Netflix account, but you cannot play videos, it tells you your device is not supported. If possible we will need to remove the device check.

Doesn't work for me. Just flashes and crashes.

Damn. Just saw the news story about this. I was hoping to come over here and find an APk that worked. Oh well... soon I hope.

I read elsewhere on this forum it has to do with netflix only wanting it on the ARM processors. we may not ever see it on a tegra2 device which is a shame because id use that alot

I wonder if this is any different than the older version i have
I know streaming doesnt work but i wonder if any other changes were made

My mistake that may be the case but the thread i found the APK pointed out it was specific to caertain phones and processors like from HTC

HTC and Samsung Nexus S according to the list of Netflix enable android devices on the Netflix site.

I tried the .apk on my G2x running stock 2.2. It immediately closes unfortunately.

This was already discussed in the G2x forum a few weeks ago because I posted the APK.... The app is only compatible with Qualcomm chipsets.

Has anyone tried on CM7? They use a different kernel so it may fool the app into working.

I do think it is funny though because originally they said Netflix wasn't coming to the Qualcomm sets because they didn't support DRM or something on a hardware level and looked forward to the Tegra 2 chipsets for their main chipset.

Now the Tegra 2 chipset is out they are all of a sudden saying "Oh we're going to support the Qualcomm chips".

In all honesty it is just them being picky and not allowing streaming. If they wanted to be simple they could just open up their website to allow streaming via Flash.

I got streaming working. Download the attached apk. Backup your build-prop. and edit a new one with these changes:

Code:

ro.product.model=HTC Vision	
ro.product.brand=tmobile
ro.product.name=vision
ro.product.device=vision
ro.product.board=vision

ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

ro.build.fingerprint=tmobile/htc_vision/vision/vision:2.2/FRF91/277427:user/release-keys

This info was taken from another forum member, don't remember who it was.

I am running CM7 Nightly #16 with the Custom CM Kernal.

The nexus s is not a qualcomm backed phone

I wish I knew how to code. I'm sure it would be fairly simple to make an app that edits your build.prop on the fly when u need it..or better yet..when it detects the Netflix app being opened.

CONFIRMED... This does work, it breaks swype though. Probably because our swype looks at the build.prop as well. Ill assume it breaks other things as well... BUT IT WORKS GREAT ON 3G! You have to reboot after editing build.prop, then install the apk. Running cm7 nighly 15

Netflix streaming would be enough of a reason to get me trying a nightly rom if i knew how to make this work. I really hope we can get something working on the G2x

mobilehavoc · May 13, 2011

Yes. They're already on your phone. Try adding more or updating. Sorry.
