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.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] photographdaddy:
Doesn't work for me. Just flashes and crashes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brj0007:
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.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
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
[T-Mobile LG G2x] greengoldmello:
Tegra 2 is arm. ..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
And who can do that??? :confused::confused::confused::confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
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
[T-Mobile LG G2x] photographdaddy:
HTC and Samsung Nexus S according to the list of Netflix enable android devices on the Netflix site.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewNY:
I tried the .apk on my G2x running stock 2.2. It immediately closes unfortunately.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
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.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Live2Follow:
I got streaming working. Download the attached apk. Backup your build-prop. and edit a new one with these changes:

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.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Yup but then no tegra apps for you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] greengoldmello:
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.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Live2Follow:
Still able to play Samurai Vengeance, Dungeon Defenders Deluxe and load Tegra Zone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rome425:
I don't think it works on EagleBlood :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
Confirmed does not work. At least on 1.0.2.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crx4xharder:
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
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
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
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Yes. They're already on your phone. Try adding more or updating. Sorry.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BiGMERF:
so before i read 18 page, this is not possible except through root? correct
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eleeo037037:
As of now yes

tanks.. grrr.. my wife is p'oed.. lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kentrik:
Ok, this morning I rooted my g2x, installed cm7, whichever is the most recent nightly (47 I think?), and when I try to download and run the Apk, it just says it cannot open the file....thoughts?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vaddy23:
Download androzip file manager from market and use that to install the Netflix apk
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jthein1989:
Ok, new problem. Latest faux kernel running soap. The apk installs, Netflix starts, but all I get is an error stating either my connection is bad or my date or time is wrong. I have full bars, and my date and time are correct? The only thing I can come up with is, this rom has a problem with automatic date and time initially, maybe in some way that is effecting Netflix. I've also notices with this rom, that I get numerous complaints of websites security certs being wrong. If I'm correct, on any PC, if the year is set to like 1998, it will say the certs are wrong. Maybe the latest faux rom has an issue with dates not being correct, that would also explain why the NTC. Servers will not work with the rom (sorry mods, this may belong in another section).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] boredpcguy:
Ok, I think Netflix is sporadic on faux kernel. I had similar time/date errors, so I reinstalled. Netflix then refused to take my user/password. I used pimpmycpu and underclocked to 800mhz to mimicking the g2 (from which I borrowed the build.prop lines) and voila, it magically accepted my info and I am streaming again. Might just be an odd coincidence but try it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] raz1337:
On my g2x running EB Froyo 1.0.5 and the Netflix 1.2.2 that just got released. I tried this:

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

It still closes immediately after opening. Anyone gotten it working on a similar setup?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kentrik:
Ok, I got it working, but at chipmunk speed. Also, losing swype, my bluetooth audio, and the ability to play back ALL SORTS of video (let alone for the DTS option) makes it not worth it, so I just went back to stock. I'm still gonna keep it rooted, but on the stock ROM for now. I think I'll just wait for gingerbread and Netflix to ACTUALLY release themselves. :-/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Seihaku:
I'm sure they'll get it working on Tegra 2 (both for Tablets and Phones) before long.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dazabale:
I had chipmonk speed but I read in a different thread that I should uninstall netflix--->edit build.prop so model=HTC Vision and manufacturer=HTC.--->reboot--->then reinstall latest Netflix app.

It worked for me. G2x running cm7 nightlys with faux kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dazabale:
I should be clear that I had edited build.prop before with chipmonk speed but the difference this time is editing before you install Netflix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.frankm:
Im running faux 1.2.3 with 0.2.1 kernel, I figured it wouldn't work a. Root. b. Didn't work on stock.

But it loaded up, said there was an update available and played... only thing is that it played like 3x speed. Kinda funny. Maybe efficient.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thegoochking:
moving in fast foreward

I edited the prop file im on eagleblood and it loads and works but the dam video plays in fast foreward. What the hell how do i fix this please lol

Fixed the prop file edits werent saving. It works now but im stuck on edge speeds now after the change in the prop file o HTC Vision :( how can i get my 4g back?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] edward6790:
X

Will this work on Ultimate G2x ROM? (Running 2.2.2)

:)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rafarataneneces:
I have the exact same problem

Maybe the phone is too fast or clock is set too high?

maybe because of the dual core?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rafarataneneces:
Where do you change that?

That makes Netflix work properly?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rafarataneneces:
Thanks

I need to try that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rafarataneneces:
Netflix works GREAT if I 1) uninstall Netflix 2) edit /system/build.prop first 3) reboot 4) install Netflix It works GREAT ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Deadlyss:
Tried the change build but video and SMS n emails n 4g wasn't working anyone else have same issues
[T-Mobile LG G2x] raz1337:
Installed CM7 nightly 56, CM7 kernel 0.2.4, changed model to HTC Vision and manufacturer to HTC and then installed Netflix 1.2.2. Poof, works.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Works beautifully.

-- CM7 nightly #56 (using default CM kernel)

-- Netflix 1.2.2

-- Only changed device and manufacturer in build.prop
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
Man everytime I try to download the apk from first page it says download unsuccessful in my status bar it wont let me download it any one have a new link or ideas?........also does this only work with gingerbread? And not froyo?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] raz1337:
Wow it runs fine on cm7 but cm7 doesnt have working bluetooth audio. Has anyone gotten this working on a g2x rom with working bluetooth audio?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Check this thread and download the first one listed in the first post. Not sure about GB vs Froyo tho.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] bskim23:
Make sure you make the proper build.prop changes
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Yea for sure you gotta edit your build.prop or you're gonna get the chipmunk speeds. Its all in the posts above and on previous pages which lines of the file to edit.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sstang2006:
This was happening to me no matter which Netflix app I used.(was playing at 2x)

The solution:

Flash Faux123 kernel for CM7 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1073626

build.prop changes didn't fix it for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KingDavid63:
damn i changed the build ... just the 2 lines device and manufacturer and its' still in 2x speed...

Edit: Damn that was a noob mistake... Yea it work's beautifully all i had to do was reboot... the last device we all was using though they quit supporting it.. forgot which one it was hope they dont do it with the vision also... anyways... awesome work guyz...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] khtims:
+1 on this for me too!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
That's weird. It works for me fine with default CM7 kernel. Did you edit build.prop, restart phone, and then install Netflix ... in that order?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sstang2006:
Yes sr.

edited build.prop, restarted, install

did this process a couple of time with latest release, then with some red and blue app that is floating around and no luck. (I was running nightly 56)

uninstalled it, flashed latest nightly 57 and Faux123 kernel at the same time, edited build.prop, reboot, install . That did it.

So it could be a fresh install or faux123 kernel. If anyone else has the same issue try cleaning cache + dalvik first.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rafarataneneces:
Hello

If I edit the proc file and change the device name to HTC Desire and manufacturer name to HTC, is is true that that creates other problems?

I've heard that even the GPS can stop working

In my case GPS reception was good, installed Netflix, I don't know if that created the problem, but when I was driving, boom, GPS off.

I had to re-install a brand new ROM to make it work
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
At least it worked lol. Nice job.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] raz1337:
What's the common denominator on these roms that get it working without working bluetooth audio? Is it an Android version that supports it? CM7 and Faux's rom get it working, but both lack bluetooth audio. Think I'm going to try Ultimate G2x or go back to EB Froyo and hold off on Netflix until the phone gets better software. Bluetooth audio is a dealbreaker for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
@phburks thanks for the help brotha!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
man this **** is awesome my daughter just watched kick ass over wifi, sweeettttt!!!!!!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Yea I'm loving me some Myth Busters lol. I was bummed that there was no Netflix app available for this phone when I bought it. I had a Nexus One before this and they had just released the Netflix app for it right before I switched phones. D'oh! I think I'm sticking with CM7 for the foreseeable future. Its been very stable for me with great battery life. Netflix is like the icing on the cake. Lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
do u notice cm's audio is low? idk fauxs rom is pretty loud with the audio boost he threw on his so im using his for now, hopefully cm will fix that

well cm7 and fauxs rom are just about the same fauxs way more asop but i think he pulls cm's commits thats why when lets say cm fixed battery and data faux had it 12 hours before the nightly cameout so hes always ahead of the game
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Yea I definitely think CM7 volumes overall are lower than stock was or the other froyo roms I tried.

I haven't looked too much at custom kernels but I wonder if any of them offer an audio boost. When I had my Nexus One CM7 had n audio boost included and there were a couple of kernels that I could flash over CM7 that also included an audio boost.

Guess I'll start looking lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] torvick12:
So thia jat doesnt work on g2x rooted right?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sstang2006:
I found something that may be useful, not as good as audio boost kernel from the lovely Nexus one but is something.

Download Equializer app (by Smart Android Apps). I tried it and it makes it a little bit louder.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
nice ty although lately audio has been pretty good still goin to try
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rafarataneneces:
what is the latest version of this APP ?

I downloaded version 3 the official one

works great after the build.prop trick
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fadownjoo:
the build.prop trick

Whats the build.prop trick? How did you do it for the g2x? I did it on my nook color and it was just an app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Its all in this thread. Might have go back a couple pages. Basically there's 2 lines in that file to edit and Netflix streams no problem.

It works on CM7 and I believe Faux's AOSP rom. Won't work on stock or any Froyo roms afaik.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaunt1969:
Running CM7 nightly-57, it works great with just moding the mfg and model. but

how do i get it to update to netflix 1.2.2. when I start netflix it tells me an update

is avl. But when I try to update it tells me that the requested item is not found.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
I just Googled Netflix 1.2.2 apk and installed it... worked like a charm
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Zheranon:
And which ROM are you running, BobbyDukes?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yixmal:
Its in his signature:

Phone: LG G2X

Rom: Stock

Kernel: Faux's Stock

Recovery: CWM

My question to BobbyDukes is: Did you need to edit anything on the phone to get it to work? I'm not rooted and would like to keep it that way, having netflix would just make it that much better :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jojomoulder:
This worked perfectly for me. I didn't have to change anything.

G2x running cm7 rc1
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Also on CM7 here. Installed this one you linked to and it still plays at chipmunk speed for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dsp4774:
Same for me, chipmunk speed, CM7 RC1.

UPDATE: I had the 1.2.1 version, which nagged about an update, so I found the 1.2.2 version and installed it, rebooted the phone...chipmunks. Do I really need to screw around with kernels to get this to work?

MORE UPDATE: Just flashed the latest Faux kernel, stock flavored, and it's still chipmunk. Would like to see if there is more than one person reporting this working AT NORMAL SPEEDS, not the super-fast nonsense.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
Sorry I didn't update my sig. I am running rc1... I changed the model to HTC_vision and manufacturer to HTC in the prop.build, save it and reboot. THEN install Netflix. When I got the you need to update I just ignored it...

The key seems to be not having Netflix installed until after the prop.build is edited.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
It works fine with the build.prop edit but jojomoulder claims he installed one that doesn't require the edit. I'm wondering which that is. I'm a little doubtful to be honest but it'd be awesome if its true.

**EDIT** -- I installed the version from the link jojomoulder included and it still requires the build.prop edit for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adevilfish:
i installed the one jojo mentioned and quoted and also have it working without any mods to the build.prop. it wants me to update every time i turn it on but i just ignore that. i am running nexus aosp btw
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
Same here. And I wish we could get it working for froyo!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dsp4774:
Same here, requires the build.prop edit. Also, I changed build.prop, rebooted, installed, and it played just fine. Then i edited build.prop back to original, rebooted, and ran the app, and it's 2x speed again. I'm really, really, REALLY not fond of changing build.prop and leaving it that way, so I guess I'll be waiting until someone actually gets this working correctly--who knows, maybe it will work before I replace my phone next year. Not holding my breath, though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Texan28:
Like everyone else I uploaded and im getting chipmunk voices...i read that by changing the build.prop it disables swype...and I just spent an hr getting it back on after I loaded cm7...if I was smart enough id figure it out buuut im not...so someone help please :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dsp4774:
Search is broken in the thread, and I can't sit and read through 25 pages to see if this is a problem for anyone else, but I believe that the change to build.prop might be causing a failure in the Market. I can't seem to search for anything there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
What did you change in your build.prop? Mine is edited for Netflix and I have no issues with Market.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dsp4774:
I changed the same two lines that everyone changes, ro.product.device and ro.product.manufacturer. Setting everything back to stock and rebooting allowed proper Market access again.

Just to be more clear:

ro.product.device=HTC Vision

ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

That's correct, isn't it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
No you need to change ro.product.model instead of ro.product.device

Change model to HTC Vision and change device back p999. Here's a few lines from mine:

ro.product.model=HTC Vision

ro.product.brand=lge

ro.product.name=lge_star

ro.product.device=p999

ro.product.board=p999

ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a

ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi

ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

Sweet! Glad it worked!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baldwinguy77:
I've tried the build.prop edits and they work for me, but I'm always weary that it's going to mess up something with my other apps or with my phone configuration in general. Has anyone experienced any quirks (besides Swype, that's not a problem for me) with changing their build.prop? And just a side question, does anyone know if the Cyanogen dev team is aware of this problem? Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
No quirks or problems here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
+1 on that u have to do model then manufacturer,,,,oh and not one problem here either

Hey Everyone,

I had this working great under CM7 but CM7 is just not ready enough for my taste. So I went back to EB FroYo and unfortunately, as I already know, Netflix no longer works.

So, I know this has been asked in the past but no one seems to ever answer the question. Is there a way to get this running in EB 1.05 FroYo edition? Is anyone working on anything for FroYo?

Running EB1.5, w/ faux's OC/UV kernel. Deleted old Netflix. Edited build.prop to show model htc-vision and manuf htc, nothing else. Rebooted. Reinstalled Netflix (used one of Sprintusa's versions) and boom, works like a charm. I also used Absolute System to edit the build.prop. I already paid for it, so no use in buying root explorer also.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Razor1973:
No response, but I tried this and as soon as I rebooted and my phone came on, I had no APN's in my list (which means I didn't have an internet connection) and creating one had no effect (after hitting Save, the APN list was still empty and didn't show the new one I had added).

So I edited build.prop again, left it as it was originally (LG-P999, lge), rebooted again and I got my APN's and internet connection back.

For all those reading or searching, this "fix" doesn't seem to work on EaglesBlood GB. At least, it didn't work for me. Well, I didn't even get to test installing Netflix and playing something. The no APN/connection problem was enough for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jriv:
Mine works fine on eagles blood with faux's kernal just edit build prop then install Netflix after reboot otherwise wont work
