I'd expect to see Netflix for our device within the month. I've tried several different apks with several different builds to no avail. Time heals all wounds, though.

Sent from my HTC RootedBolt running CM-7.0.
[Thunderbolt General] mbrown3460:
lol the nerve of some people...lmao you need to relax dude...one reason I dont root is im not trying to brick my phone or void my warranty...not everybody can just drop 100 bucks on there phone and at the end of the day I am just fine with stock, but if the developers can't get it to work for stock its understandable, but the nerve of you man
[Thunderbolt General] WorldOfJohnboy:
The risk of bricking at this point is minimal unless you are a complete technological 'dummy,' and if you are, you should go back and purchase a Motorola Razr.

As for the voiding of warranty, you can just as easily bring it back to Stock now, so though a bit of a pain if you wanted to return it, it's still possible. Also, you get far better support with a Rooted phone by the wonderful Devs than you would from VZW or HTC, especially if you load one of the many awesome ROMs out.

I'm not hating on your or trying to belittle anyone still on stock, just saying that you really shouldn't have to worry if you know how to hook your phone to a PC and click and/or cut&paste some commands.

any one find a way to get live holdem to run? all the action buttons seem to be below the screen. Playing with lcd density i found 200 is playable. but everything else looks too big. Im using cm7 with the default 161 density.

Hi All,

Anyone else have an issue with Bamf Remix 1.6.3 (had the problem with 1.6 as well, but not with 1.5) where the HTC clock widget disappears on reboot? This happens every time I reboot, I have to manually re-add the clock widget. I did a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) prior to install, then restored apps (and app data, no system data) using Titanium Backup. Other widgets (including HTC ones) are not affected, and everything else seems to work great. Any suggestions for what to try to fix this? Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
I would try deleting the widget apk and then adding it again from the original rom zip file.
[Thunderbolt General] Markbone:
im having a similar issue here. my HTC countdown widget disappears on reboot replaced with "problem loading gadget". my clock is fine. this is both HTC and other widgets...what rom were you on before 1.6.3?

would you mind going into a bit more detail? I'm open to trying different solutions, just not familiar with where exactly to find widget apk.

thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] Markbone:
dont know for sure if this is your issue, but it worked for me:

move the widget to phone if its on SDcard.

So now that the official netflix app has been released in the market, had anyone been able to install it on your mytouch 4g??

I looked for it in the market from my phone but couldn't find it, then went to the market website and tried to install it but it says not compatible!:mad:

Link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient

From the Netflix Blog:

The Market download will initially be available only on select phones that currently have the requisite playback support. We expect to quickly add to the number of phones that can download from Android Market as we work with ecosystem partners to expand playback support."

Phones Supported:

• 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

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] ggolemg:
And not available for the Mytouch 4G

• HTC Nexus One with Android 2.2, 2.3

• HTC Evo 4G with Android 2.2

So we know it's not the hardware.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] neidlinger:
My Mom has this phone. I'm going to install it on her phone. Then pull the .apk for my phone.. Hopefully it'll work.

EDIT::

According to NetFlix's blog, they are rolling out phone support in stages not to overwhelm the servers.

So i'm sure support is coming but not as of right now.

EDIT PT2

a buddy of mine just emailed the .apk from his G2. I'm playing with it now. i'm no developer so i'm just doing the basics. If a known dev wants the .apk to play with please PM me.

EDIT PT3

sounds works. Video doesn't. as of currently.

edit pt4

tried fixing permissions. Video plays for about 5 seconds then the phone kicks back to them main netflix screen.

Im running the Canadian pure sense ROM for glacier/panache. When I try to install it from the website it says choose device to install: HTC Panache.

Maybe if im running CM7 it will recognize it as a Samsung Nexus S? like tango did on cm7, with that flipped camera situation

Anyone out there that gets it please pull the apk!

TeamRoyal at it Again

TeamRoyal to the Rescue Again!!!! :D:cool:;)

Thanks to my Brother-in-law who worked hard to get this to work.

Ok, So here is what you guys want, what you have to do and yes you have to use Gingerbread 2.3.3 so revert back to RoyalGinger 1.5 if you want to use Netflix.

You can follow these steps or use Root Explorer and do it from the phone just make sure you reboot after completing the code in build.prop.

1. Copy /system/build.prop to your sdcard

(In terminal) cp /system/build.prop /sdcard/build.prop

2. Copy from the sdcard to your computer

3. Open the file in Wordpad

4. Change the lines below:

==================

ro.product.model=HTC Glacier

ro.product.brand=tmobile

ro.product.name=glacier

ro.product.device=glacier

ro.product.board=glacier

==================

to:

==================

ro.product.model=HTC Vision

ro.product.brand=tmobile

ro.product.name=vision

ro.product.device=vision

ro.product.board=vision

===================

5. Copy the file back to your sdcard

6. Mount the android system to be read/write by using the command below:

(in terminal) mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

7. Copy the file from the sdcard to the system directory

(in terminal) cp -f /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop

8. Make the system read only again

(in terminal) mount -o remount,ro /dev/mtdblock3 /system

9. Reboot your phone

10. Download Netflix from the market

But it does work just got done letting my kid watch Thomas and Friends. So enjoy.

Does it have to be a royal ginger rom or can it be any gingerbread rom
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] bwinger79:

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
Thanks for your comment and contribution to the thread.:rolleyes:

Allthough I understand that you feel like taking the steps that were outlined by RoyalKnight are not worth it for 1 app. Some people might feel differently and want to do it. As I see it, it is a "Fix". The app wont work before you change the things mentioned and will after you do so that seems like a "Fix" to me. I understand that these type of instructions might be able to be found elsewhere on XDA but I didnt see you posting a link to them or sharing them with anyone to try and help.

Each time you login/logout of the netflix app and make build.prop change Netflix registers it as a new activated device.

Can someone with working Netflix with video streaming go into Netflix acct>>your account>>manage Netflix ready devices...and select "device id" under the active phone

Mine says "NFANDROID1-HTC==HTC"

curious to know what this will be on a device with working video streaming

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Caz666:
Please see my response in other thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1052058

Bottom line:

Start by clearing cache and Dalvik Cache in the Open Recovery menu

If this doesn't work, clear data and re-install CM7 (but you will lose all your data not on the SD card).

This fixes most FC. When you upgrade at a later date, only the cache and Dalvik Cache clearing is necessary.

while the movie is loading, it temporarily downloads the movie to your phone.

Follow the steps below

Flash that Rom. Which is Simply Galaxy RC 3.3.

2) Once you are up and running download Flash 10.3 from the market.

This works 100%.

1. Place Simply3.3Update1.zip on your internal sdcard

2. Boot into clockwork recovery

3. Perform a factory reset.

4. Select the zip file and flash.

5. Once it is finished rebooting, wait 15 minutes before doing ANYTHING!

6. NOW REBOOT AGAIN!!!

Put netflix.apk on internal memory and install.
[Vibrant General] ackattacker:
Hopefully everybody realizes that flashing a 2.3 ROM will:

a) Wipe your phone

b) GPS will no longer work

if getting Netflix working is more important than a or b above, go for it. Just wanted to make sure everybody knew what they're getting into. For me, GPS is more important than Netflix.
[Vibrant General] seedofchaos:
Well said If it didn't wipe everything id do it but whats in my sd and internal is more important. Im sure netflix will figure something out starlit
[Vibrant General] emonero:
CM7 does work...if you have CM7 already on your phone there is no need to flash another ROM just for netflix...just edit the built.prop...
[Vibrant General] ScottZ0:
Good call gents. GPS doesn't work and you MAY lose all your data. I did a CWM restore and got all my apps back. Its a trade off. You can have Netflix or GPS. You will have to decide which is more important.
