You can run Netflix on CM 10 & 11 (4.2, 3&4) on EMMC through the latest CM10.2 nightly and CM11 builds.
The Kernel changes make watching Netflix in "MEDIUM" playback speed watchable. Only occasional bumps after the first 30 seconds. Great for a three year old tablet. I claim no credit, save some research time. I'm only pointing out the work of giants.
It works in CM11 (4.4) in most devices. PLEASE post a note with make and model as well as ROM you are using. If you try with Xposed Framework make sure and get the latest version. Also with CM11 on Nook Color (maybe others) You Must Use Liquid64's NetflixHackPersist.zip per option #2 and nightly 2-10 or later. Also you must use Ver. 3.2.1-B1346 netflix or earlier, Available below. Versions 3.3.1-B1463+ don't work for CM10 or CM11. I urge everyone to call Netflix at 1-866-658-3608 and complain about the new app that leaves so many behind. Also go to Twitter and Facebook and encourage others to let Netflix know their displeasure.
It is working on SD with CM11. See Post (#14) & (#39) for details. (Please, If you try on SD whether it works or not please post a reply in forum and I'll update.) Runs on my Nook Color with CM10.2 or CM11 on EMMC just fine, (See post #3 for 24+ others).

Use the XposedCM10.1NetflixWorkaround.apk below for Exynos4 devices
and
by Kaepernick - Changes that made it work on HTC Droid Incredible (And Nook Color and several others) (Go there and give him thanks)
Use the XposedCM10-10.1NetflixWorkaround-Dinc.apk below for all other devices
Option #1 - From Kaepernicks OP. If running CM11 on nook color must use option #2 and Ver. 3.2.1-B1346 netflix or earlier, Available below.
*** Make the Xposed Framework persist through a CM ROM update with script "90-xposedpersist.sh" (in the 90-xposedpersist.zip), put the ".sh" file in the /system/addon.d/ folder. See Post #4 for specifics***
Option #2 - On Entropy512's site I noted that Liquid64 was working on a zip to make the install persist and has since done it. I have tried it and it works. It's easier than #1 but you'll miss trying the other modules in Xposed. If running CM11 on nook color must use option #2 and Ver. 3.2.1-B1346 netflix or earlier, Available below.

This does work on SD on Nook Color running CM11. See Post (#14) & (#39) for details or
I will try to keep this up to date as to any changes or problems. I found others on XDA did not know the Nook Color had the same problem. If you know of other tablets or phones using CM 10+ are having this problem let them know so they also might benefit.
Where is the NetFlix Icon?
Problem with Netflix App Ver 3.1.0+?
All credit for the attached files goes to the authors listed above. I have also attached all needed files below including the latest updates. If you have any suggestions or questions please post below.
Personal note about Xposed Framework:
For the diehards that just want a Netflix app that works and don't care if its the latest Netflix app.
Enjoy and spread this to everyone you know that wants to use the Netflix app on their devices and has been unable. (+85) If this helped you please hit the thanks button.

I had to do a lot of searching to find this since most of it is not on the Nook Color forums. I thought I would post the accumulated info and links here to make it easier for fellow Nookie (and others tablet) owners. Did also find that other tablets and phones are having the same problem with Netflix app. The following is a listing of things I have tried and know that they work on the Nook Color. Some of this has been mentioned sporadically on Nook Color (Encore) ROM and DEV forums.

"Well, thanks to Entropy512's help, I was able to modify his Xposed hack to work on CM10 (based on Android 4.1) and CM10.1 (based on Android 4.2) for the Incredible. Using the newest Netflix app and it's working well without issue. It's easy to install. You just need two files:
Xposed Installer: See latest Xposed Installer file link in the link just above the attachments at the bottom of this post.
*****For Installer Forum and Updates: (Go there and give Rovo89 thanks)
XposedCM10-10.1 Netflix Hack: See attached file below (XposedCM10=10.1NextflixWorkaround-Dinc)
In order to install:
1. Download both files to the root directory of your SD Card. Install the Xposed Installer apk
2. Once Installed, open it up. Press the Install/Update button to install the Xposed Framework. Allow Superuser Permissions. Once it's done, reboot.
3. Install the Xposed Netflix Workaround apk. For Nooks, Droids, Etc use XposedCM10-10.1NetflixWorkaround-Dinc.apk
4. Open up the Xposed Installer and select the Modules button. You should see the Xposed Netflix Workaround option. Tap the checkbox. Reboot.
5. Open up Netflix. Enjoy.
The background of the app will be white, which is weird, but video will work."

There are two zip files. The Hack Persist.zip is installed from recovery to make the changes persist after upgrades without using the Xposed installer. The Remove.zip uninstalls the Hack persist also installed in recovery. The background of the App will again be in black."Just for reference, my zip file does not rely on the xposed modules. It is just an init.d script that changes the nflx_player_type value. There's also an addon.d script that backs up the init.d script in the event there is a firmware upgrade.
I guess is anyone is interested in looking at there, here it is:
(See attached files below: NetflixHackPersist.zip & removeNetflixHack.zip)
The addon.d script can be adapted to also back up the exposed modules, as Entropy512 had suggested above. "
This does work on SD on Nook Color running CM11. See Post (#14) & (#39) for details or
Copy NetflixHackPersist.zip to the root directory of the SD and rename it to cm-update.zip. Install the card and boot to Leapinlar's recovery to install to the card. Reboot and good to go.
Where is the NetFlix Icon?
I have received a couple of PMs asking where the Netflix shortcut (icon) is after installing the workarounds. These workarounds are fixes that allow the newer Netflix apps to work with the ROM. You must have the current Netflix app installed from the Google play store. The workarounds do not replace the Netflix app, nor do they install the Netflix app.
If you have problems with updating to version 3.1.0, in app manager delete all data for Netflix then open Netflix and reenter user id and password. Then reboot the tablet. When you enter Netflix again everything should work fine.
Personal note about Xposed Framework:
I encourage you to to install the latest Xposed framework (See link above attachments at the bottom of this post). I have found several of the modules available for downloading right in the Xposed app do great things. The App settings module gives an interface like Paranoid Android ROM without losing any of the CM greatness. Best of both worlds for me. See XDA article here: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...ds-new-features-and-support-for-miui-and-x86/
I included the 1.8.1 version, just extract from the zip. Easier yes, more exciting no. I like a little excitement in my tablet. Also have added Version 2.0.2 which works on some devices. If running CM11 on nook color must use option #2 also.
