I get the same thing with the Bionix-v 1.3.2.

I sure that there will be some work around soon. I am so happy that this app was finally released.:cool:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bobofosho123:
forgot to mention you need to flash a gingerbread rom for this to actually work, sorry my bad.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Tynen:
I'm flashing CyanogenMod now to see if it'll work there. I just finished editing the build.prop I'm rebooting after Dalvik cache wipe.. takes a while ;)

Edit:

Figured as much.

I wonder what the Nexus One (running 2.2) has that Vibrant 2.2 doesn't.... hmmmmm

Didn't Google add a DRM framework into GB?? Makes sense that it wouldn't work without that framework.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bobofosho123:
it's made by htc. the hardware and software on the nexus s 2.3 is the only similar one.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] n1gh7mar3:
Yeah i definately think a 2.3 rom needs to be the base!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] blazinn831:
i flashed Simply Galaxy RC3.3 and all i did was install netflix and it worked!!!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] boystuff:
works gorgeously on miui 1.5.6b edited reboot cleared, rebooted play. no data toggling, locking etc.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Good_Orion:
Got it working on CM7.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] d_bot:
Hmmm so I either get GPS or Netflix...... I think I use my GPS much more than I will Netflix

I amgetting a boot loop with bonixV 1.2.1, I let it sit for awhile then restore my nandroid backup.

Ahhh it booted up.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] anilo:
Thanks OP! Got my Vibrant with CM7 working! The picture is crystal clear!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] chadhoard:
I got it to work!!!! I just had to flash Simply Galaxy RC3.3 Update 1 ROM, install the Netflix app from the link in the OP, removed the "-1" from the file name, and installed!!! After that, logged into my account, and started watching!!!!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] laword:
works

I followed the tutorial from the website, I took it one step more and edit the build.pop file that's located in /system/ with the same information. Don't know if that was needed but did it anyways and its works fine. On the initial boot up it did go white screen on me but after letting it sit for a while the log on screen came up and now I'm enjoying netflix at work.:D

Also I'm running CM7 lastest build for the Vibrant in case anyone wants know.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] gforceriders:
Worked like a charm on CM7. Sweet butter.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] lando123:
Mines working :D C7 up and running. 3g is crystal clear.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zul8er:
Same thoughts here :(
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] boystuff:
not sure if it happened to anyone else but, while editing the build.prop got Netflix working, it totally Killed my Swype Beta.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Tynen:
Finally got it working in CM
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] samlot:
This worked for me! and i switched from Bionix 1.3.1 to Simply Galaxy RC3.3 so i can get this to work.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] d33dvb:
Anyone having the app just close are not running a gingerbread rom.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jimmytinsnips:
I can confirm app works without hack on Simply Honey 3.3.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jimmytinsnips:
Sorry, newest Simply Galaxy. Too many ROM names to keep track of.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] quadratic:
You don't have to remove the -1 from the filename. The name doesn't affect anything as long as it ends with .apk

Go ahead and rename it to horsefarts-1-2-3.apk and it'll still work.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] New_Guy777:
Universal Netflix!

You don't even have to edit anything if you just use this apk:

www.mediafire.com/?agimueznybebkem

It'll bypass the Device Checker.

Of course, that doesn't mean it'll play on the non-GB devices, but it won't dump you out before you have a chance at signing in. It'll even let me manage my queue on my tablet, although it won't let me actually play a movie.

GB ROMs obviously have a file or a lib that allows it to work. I'm thinking that if we can determine what that is, then someone with a GB ROM can copy it and tell the rest of us where to paste it. Then, Netflix should work for all.

Maybe. ;-)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] frankwhitten:
Not necessarily. If you go to the Netflix website and look at all the compatible devices then you can see 4 out of the 5 devices are running 2.2 and only one of those fore are running 2.3.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Exel:
Worked great on CM7, thanks.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] d33dvb:
The function required from what I can see in the logcat is drm.play I would imagine this may be part of the netflix apk and we just havent decompiled it and put it in the proper directory, if you look at the post from me on page 2 it appears to open if you copy the files in the netflix folder without the modified apk
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] d33dvb:
I can confirm there are no files called drm.play in the netflix apk
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jmcghee1973:
I can confirm that this app here works on CM7 Vibrant without any editing to the build.prop and that on "My Devices" for Netflix it recognizes it as the SGH-T959 Vibrant and it works flawlessly...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] CM Wave:
Anyone know the reason why it works on Simply Galaxy without modifications? Can whatever it does be applied to other ROMs?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] New_Guy777:
My guess is that Simply Galaxy incorporates a lot of elements from the Nexus S, and that Netflix actually thinks it is a Nexus S.

I'm also inclined to believe that Netflix is looking at more than just the build.prop when it tries to run on our devices. After all, we have the missing drm.play problem. This file must be somewhere in the Simply Galaxy ROM, and Netflix is good with that.

Can someone decompile that ROM, copy that file, post it, and tell me where it's located? I'll load that on my phone (running Trigger, a 2.2 ROM) and see if that gets us going. I'll also try it out on my tablet.

We might be able to get this going for us Vibrant owners who are unwilling to let go of our GPS.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] tomasitoc:
I hope the devs can figure out how to make this work with 2.2
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] gunnz04:
works on my vibrant running cm7!!!

thanks!!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] celltestr:
Just wondering, maybe this is related to the 2 drm apk's everyone are freezing using TB? Maybe in GB they put a newer version.. I think it's worth a try. Don't have time to do it myself..

Sent from my Vibrant
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] d_bot:
What we need is a fully functional GB Rom.....sure wish Samsung would step up.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bobofosho123:
Updated tutorial to reflect the new apk, thanks for it. Btw, did u create that apk or should I credit it to someone else? And on a side note, I can confirm that netflix is working on simply honey 3.3 on my vibrant (using your new apk). Thanks again mate.

-bobofosho123
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bobofosho123:
I be waiting for team whiskey to release that one. Let's hope a a vibrant build of gingerbrea leaks out soon. That way we won't have to work with ****ty ports anymore. I hate all of the 2.3 roms at the moment. No offense to any of the fine devs.:rolleyes:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] New_Guy777:
I've no idea who did that apk, nor can I find any references. I just found it while I was searching online trying to find a way around this problem.

You can imagine how siked I was to finally get to the login screen, and then crash.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Sevensix9:
I just tried the new apk on CM7 its a no go for me, still says not supported

Nevermind, I made a simple mistake, its working perfect.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bobofosho123:
Yeah no problem, I just the apk was courtesy of you, I'll edit the screen to reflect that. thanks again for the link.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] d_bot:
We are talking the Simply Galaxy GB build right? There are two Simply Galaxy, just making sure that I'm not missing something.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bobofosho123:
Honestly the question of whether or not it works out of the box on which gingerbread rom might be pointless now, considering it's now as simple as just installing an apk.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] d_bot:
Right but there are two simply galaxy roms one is froyo one is gingerbread just making sure that there isn't a froyo rom that it works with
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bobofosho123:
No, yeah there isn't a 2.2 rom (that I'm aware of) where this hack will work. Only gingerbread roms work.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] honeydesean:
FYI This APK works on my rooted Droid running CM7.

Thank you for this awesome APK!

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] natalic:
Working on Cyanogenmod 7 experimental -- I did mod the build.prop but that was before installing, so im not sure if it works without but it does work!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bobofosho123:
Well the apk is working fine by itself on my vibrant running the newest cm7 nightly. And it would appear that this is also the case for many others, so I'm sorry but I don't know what to tell ya man.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] daleandla:
I would agree. I installed this apk on my Vibrant and HD2 running the latest MIUI build, and all is running excellent. My daughter is now watching Dora on my chest on the vibrant while I rock the big screen with Flashpoint. Sweet!

This ain't your average Vibrant... MIUI baby.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] beastman59:
Just a warning... tried it on the Viewsonic GTablet and it was really super fast. Uninstalled and went back to the other method.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bobofosho123:
Well this is a vibrant thread so there were no guarantees on your gtablet anyway, although thanks for the heads-up anyway.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] realcyberbob:
Can it not be modified to allow anything below 2.3 to work? I'm running Axura and would like to be able to use this app, but the rom is 2.2 based.

- Edit -

Gave it a little time and its working now. Just in a different location so I now know what the issue was.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bush2088:
wont let me sign in???????????oh well, it was worth a shot
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] New_Guy777:
I know that it's not a 2.2 vs 2.3 thing, because most of the phones that Netflix first came out for were 2.2. However, something about most of the 2.3 ROMs play nice with the hacked Netflix APK. I'm guessing that the leaked Vibrant 2.2 builds are missing necessary drm files, and that the libs in the 2.3 make it work.

Of course, I've decompiled a couple of 2.3 ROMs now, and for the life of me, I've been unable to determine what needs added to my 2.2 ROM.

Sorry guys, but I'm just not good enough. If someone better can step up to the plate, great.

Until then, I know that Netflix is working on greater device compatibility. Also, I know that Samsung is working on 2.3 ROMs for most of the Galaxy S family. That means that one of two things will probably soon happen:

1-We'll get a fully functional GB ROM leaked, and the developers will bless us with GPS, Video Chat, safer encryptions, and all the other goodness.

2-Netflix will realize that the Galaxy S is one of the hotest selling phones to date, and will extend compatibility to us in the near future.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DaSmittyman:
anybody try video out?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] pitflyer:
As expected, the no device check APK does NOT work on my stock 2.2 Vibrant. HOWEVER, it does work on my stock 2.2 Archos 101 Tablet, so it's not definitely something that's in 2.3 (and obviously the initial set of official Netflix supported devices included some 2.2 ones).

Well, guess more reason to root and put a custom rom on.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Jacobfunk:
Just me or link down??? Tap it nothing happens. Really wanting to try this!!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Jacobfunk:
Ok got it from the xda forum page not xda app. Still gives me device not supported. Any ideas guys?

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] nobleynobe:
I'm having the same problem. Was working fine on simply galaxy and Miui. Just flashed cm7 and all audio no video. Anyone?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Jacobfunk:
I rebooted phone twice and for some reason works now. Maybe give that a try
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Fr0stbyteX:
When I try to install the apk on CM7 I get a "Parse Error. There is a problem parsing the package." I tried to redownload but got the same. What is the md5 of the apk? Any other ideas?

EDIT: Nevermind, I downloaded it on my PC instead of from my phone, and then copied it over and it worked. Thanks anyway.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rakeshchn:
With the device check removed the app is working on many devices even those running 2.2. I just hope some one figure how to work this out for 2.2 vibrant!

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] n1gh7mar3:
There is no need to edit the build prop anymore! Use the hacked Netflix in the op! I would do clear ur cache and dalvik then open the app! You might get audio and no video... its not a problem usually a lock and unlock will fix the problem! It will reset the video playing but the next one u load will work flawlessly! The app does have quite a bit of lag when opening it, but once its loaded it is smooth sailing from that point on!!!!

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] firefly6240:
Just fyi.

In The latest update of the Netflix app they took out the feature that looks for and blocks unsupported devices. So it just worked right off for me on cm7. I haven't tried any other Roms but we don't need the hacked app or an edited build prop anymore.

I have been running various CM7 nightlies. I was having the same black screen problems when launching Netflix as several others have described. I tried all the different versions of Netflix that were posted, tried clearing the cache, clearing and reinstalling flash, but nothing worked. I just did a full wipe and restored the stock Netflix app from the market and it worked perfectly!

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] CatfishKnight:
Netflix working on my Simple Honey...

Finally decided to load a 2.3 Rom last night. I loaded Simple Honey. But when booting I get the fuzzy ranbow colors until it loads. Then it looks great. I finally got Netflix from the Market to work. It had fuzzy video until I turned off the Data and turned it back on. Then the video cleared up. Playing nice now on Netflix. Still wondering how to get the colors to go away when first booting it up...
