Finally! Netflix streaming on Android

[Kenny_Stang]

Kennny, make a nandroid before doing this since I'm not sure what'll happen, but try changing the name of the device in the build.prop file to one of the supported ones. It can be done w/ Prop Editor, Root Explorer...

Tried that, some people on XDA had it work, but its not working for me yet. Will mess with it some more later today.

Where I am surprised is how you have not yet found a way to get it on our Inspire's. I don't have a 2Gb cap or whatever from AT&T so I'd like to use this if somehow able to get it on the phone.

Currently Netflix playback is supported on the following phones:
• HTC Incredible with Android 2.2
• HTC Nexus One with Android 2.2, 2.3
• HTC Evo 4G with Android 2.2
• HTC G2 with Android 2.2
• Samsung Nexus S with Android 2.3

Yeah I was going to say, I just tried and it worked on my N1 on ATT running 2.3.4. Too bad I dont have a subscription though.

I got it to finally work on the Nook Color, these are the changes I made to the build.prop file using root explorer:

ro.product.model=PC36100
ro.product.brand=sprint
ro.product.name=htc_supersonic
ro.product.device=htc_supersonic
ro.product.board=htc_supersonic

ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

ro.build.fingerprint=sprint/htc_supersonic/htc_supersonic:2.3.3/GRI40/102588:user/release-keys

Sahweet! I thought it would be something as simple as that.

Works great so far, though i havent tested it much. Videos play good, no skipping or excessive buffering for me.

A buddy of mine sent me the .apk to see if it would work on my phone (Droid X) cause it wouldnt work on his Thunderbolt. And now I have Netflix on the phone (cant think of a time I will need to watch netflix on the phone, but what the hell). If anyone wants to try it on their X just send me you email address.

i just tried the device-check-disabled one and it played with no picture but had sound for about 5 seconds and then killed itself

Steps to make Netflix work:

1. Uninstall Netflix.apk on your phone
2. Flash Netflix_Fix_1.zip from CWM just like a rom
3. Install Netflix.apk

Your Netflix will now work.

can I just go to rom manager and do install rom from SD card and then pick the netflix.apk zip file??

[Tx Redneck]

Yeah, you can flash Flash Netflix_Fix_1.zip w/ ROM manager and then just Install Netflix.apk like any other app.

[DeddRekoning]

ok...when I click on install from SD card in ROM manager...it's asking if I want to wipe Dalvik cache again. Do I need to?

[Tx Redneck]

It won't hurt anything, just cause a lil slower boot time.

[DeddRekoning]

it seems to be working...played it over wifi and the video wasn't bad but wasn't awesome either
