[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
toward the end of the thread there are 4 other mods to the apk, did you try those too?

My bet is that weak old processor :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yup. Tried them. Followed that thread since it started...I have a tweet asking for proof and all that to the guy who tweeted he had it working on a Sprint Hero...no reply yet...

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
Damnit I just realized this nand still has he who must not be named tweak on it lmao

Grrrrraaaaawwww!!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
I'm been doing some research and there are several files in the apk that would probably need to be modified. However, you would need the source code for that. There are some other alternatives that I am looking at doing. I, like some of you, have tried every trick that is out there. I have not tried it with Sensible Gingerbread yet. If anyone has or will try it, report back on if it worked or not. I will work on some other methods.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyfamily737:
Yup....I just did it too. Can't imagine ee'd get it to work here though

It appears that flash 10.3 is needed along with some other changes. I'm looking into it, since this is something I really want to use.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoughtlesskyle:
That doesn't seem likely since it works on the optimus and that does not have flash either, also it works fine with 10.2 also infact at the moment .2 is actually the more stable of the 2
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
Just rip out the Hero's processor and replace it with a new one.

;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoughtlesskyle:
Haha I think the gpu is the problem
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
Several people I have talked to have updated to 10.3 and it started working. Maybe its just coincidence, but my dad was also one of them.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yeah it works on the Optimus so flash isn't needed. Someone will figure it out ;) I'm all out of ideas right now...so for now I will just wireless tether my iPod Touch to the Hero so my 3 year old can watch movies in the car :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
I can't even imagine how much of a slideshow it would be, if it could even play anything. Or how bad it would look on the Hero's screen. Gah.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I think it would be fine if it ever works...I have streamed Survivor using the Market app, have used the Family Guy and South Park apps and they all look/looked fine (by fine I mean good enough to watch if you have to). But they were smooth and there were no hiccups. Of course no one would watch Netflix on the Hero unless one was in real need to kill time ;) But my 3 year old son would love it :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
man am im glad im not the only one who watches survivor around here lmao.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattcoz:
I'd really doubt this, considering that Flash doesn't support VC1 encoded videos. Netflix uses Silverlight on PCs and Macs.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drachen808:
It could be good for listening to stand-up comedians in the car (just did this on the way back from the coast using my wife's evo).

I'm fairly sure you guys have seen this thread in the Android Development & Hacking forum, but I'll link it just in case.....http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13730649#post13730649

I managed to get all the way up to the video player screen thinking I was golden, before it force closed instead of buffering....Dammit. Anyways the point being, if Netflix required flash 10.3 it shouldn't have loaded all the way to the player screen, no? Wouldn't we get an error before hand about an incompatible video format or flash not installed? IDK...I guess for haha's I'll try again on wifi when I get home from work in the morning.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3FAULT:
I'd say it's pretty much been confirmed that flash is not needed as devices that do not have flash have been able to play videos. Also, the iPhone/Pad/Pod does not have flash and has Netflix as well.

So yeah, I think we can safely say it is NOT a flash issue, and more than likely a CPU or GPU problem, although that hasn't been confirmed by anyone that I've seen.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yeah it has nothing to do with flash...like was said above, my iPod Touch has Netflix and no flash.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoelliot:
Yeah, I'm using the modded apk. from that thread also and get to the player with no problems. Just wont play tho. I'm pretty certain there's no flash needed. Just a matter of time b4 Sumone figures this out...

Netflix and the Hero

Anyone get Netflix to work yet for the Hero? Or any new promising developments that might allow it to work on the hero?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iviyth0s:
I am unable to offer and kind of modding support but I'm pretty sure to run Netflix streaming on my laptop I had to download Microsoft Silverlight. So I'd guess that seeking out Flash would be the wrong avenue.

Though Apple products able to run it tells me the mobile devices may use something else, HTML5 maybe??
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
To run on my MacBook it required Silverlight also.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoseppi:
Yeah I would love to see a version of Netflix that gets the videos to play. At least it is a better instant que manager than the ones in the market.

You'd think Netflix would be happy to have their service available to thousands more customers who can't access their service via mobile yet.

BTW, what was done to angry birds that made the developers mad?

i dont think netflix will ever work on the hero, the lack of dedicated gpu, plus the fact it is an arm6 processor is most likely the deathnail for netflix on the heroc

Gpu yes arm 6 argument is BS
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyleBryant:
I've tried everything to get it working on my hero, I got lucky and got an apk that played audio but still no videos.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcj77d:
it might require adobe air, i needed adobe air for it to run on my tablet, but air isnt hero compatible either.

there is a semi-working flash apk for amrv6 cores now
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RigorousNinja:
The newest release of netflix worked on my hero running wildheroc rc4, but the only problem is that the video is slower than the audio. maybe the new release will fix that.

I just flashed the new cyanogenmod 7.10 stable and Netflix is running. The sound and ideology are out of sync :/
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonbtrini:
Is this on wifi or data connection?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jayeson:
I have same problem. Everything works fine except picture lags behind audio. I tried both wifi and data connections. Used 3G data connection with 3 of 4 bars. Wifi connection at the time wasn't great - will retry tonight when I'm closer to access point.

It's strange b/c I can stream from other sites without problems, not clear what makes Netflix different.

FYI:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andehpwn:
I've been using the latest release of Tesla Coil, which really is a great ROM and I have had no problems up until now.

I have been tethering just fine via USB, using HTC's Internet Connection Mode whilst we change ISPs, but for some reason this morning it refuses to work.

I plug in the USB cable, I get the prompt on the phone and select ICM and then... nothing! The device isn't detected by Windows 7 (it had been coming up as HTC Ethernet Adapter 9k, or something similar.)

I tried enabling it by going into Settings -> Wireless & Networks - Internet Connection Mode, I check the box, get the little Mobile Hotspot prompt and then ICM becomes unchecked again.

I'm pretty new to Android and really, I solved my problem by using Barnacle Wifi Tether, but I really want to learn why this has happened and how to fix it :)

Anyone know what the best kernel is for a Stock 2.2.1 ROM?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
der cavermans v3 as far as i know.

havent tried the franco kernel yet.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dislplin01:
Franco's is alright but if you want to see any real difference I suggest flashing a custom ROM cause the stock ROM just sucks and from what I have read and seen videos on YouTube for official LG gingerbread update is just as bad
[Optimus One, P500, V General] zhfac:
I would, except the few Custom ROMs I have tried, I don't get Data for some reason. Only the Stock ROM allows me to use data.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
u have to enter the apn settings in access point names, which ull find in the current stock rom.

note it down.

type it down in custom roms.

it will work then on.

[Thunderbolt General] MisterDonut:
I really have no idea why a lot of you guys are still on stock?

This is my very first android, and i took 2 hours reading and another hour asking questions. and another hour rooting my phone.

Just root your damn phone.
[Thunderbolt General] KarukTribe:
I have 3 kids. Taking 3 hours out of my day to root my phone is not an option.

I did make time to mess with my htc incredible only because is was a one click trick.
[Thunderbolt General] MisterDonut:

[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
your question should have been "why do you stay unrooted".. THAT it understandable.

[Thunderbolt General] MisterDonut:
Cute dog. is there a way to edit topics?
[Thunderbolt General] major_works:
I stayed unrooted for about three weeks. It took me that long to work up the nerve to root. After I'd read the procedure through a few times, asked a few questions, and, most importantly, satisfied myself that it was entirely reversible, I went for it.
[Thunderbolt General] MoreGone:
While I am rooted, I know exactly what you mean. I am on Das BAMF 1.6.2 and am planning to stay put for awhile. Sometimes I fail to use the best features of my phone because I've recently flashed and don't want to input my user name and PW into Pandora while I am driving down the freeway.

Once we have RIL and are officially supported by CM7 I will get back into the flashing game. I am not a big fan of Sense and have done my best to avoid it on my device using LP, Contapps, Handcent
[Thunderbolt General] nricci:
Guysm

If you flash new roms every day, how do you rebuild your desktops, reinstall apps, etc? You do this procedure every day????
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
Appbrain reinstalls all your apps. Resetting icons/widgets takes 2 mins, tops
[Thunderbolt General] headcheese:
I don't think a lot of people flash new roms everyday.

Usually if you are updating a Rom, like from Das bamf 162 to 163, you don't need to wipe. apps, texts, layout, and what not stay the same.
[Thunderbolt General] Old MuckenMire:
I was the same way with Slacker over the past year. :D especially because I was rooted and used A2SD, it would always log me out even if I hadn't recently flashed. Slacker just doesn't seem to like being on the SD card and hold the password at the same time. At the end of the day I'm not in any way against rooting and I'm glad it's there as an option for when I get bored. I always do get bored, either with stock or flashing roms...or just with any given device itself.

This is correct. The issue is not UPDATING roms...you get to keep all your settings that way. The issue is having to wipe before flashing a new rom. Me personally, it takes me a whole hell of a lot longer than two minutes to get everything back the way I want it. Downloading all my apps is not the issue. It's getting all of the settings for over a hundred apps back the way I want. Just as an example. Every website I visit I log into with a password. I use Skyfire, stock, Dolphin HD. When I wipe I have to go back and re-log into every damn website I visit again...and I have to do it every time I want to try a new rom...which ends up being often because once you flash one, it leads to another and another, always searching for that perfect rom. I often did flash at least every other day. Most developers would update their rom, fixing or adding something and the temptation was too strong not to test drive it again. But liek I said it makes the device never feel complete because I never settled on anything long term.

I will say this tho, it was rooting and flashing that made me realize how much I enjoyed Sense UI. I tried EVERY rom there was for the N1 and never enjoyed anything the way I did Sense(although I did love ROD's MIUI MoD rom for N1+ LauncherPro Plus...it was quick as hell and had beautiful transitions, not as stable as CM7 tho) and thru root and flashing you can try different UI's and find the one that is right for you. So rooting and flashing is definitely a great thing and like I said I'm glad it's an option I have to admit I miss that little high you get while waiting for a new rom to flash. :D Wondering if you've soft bricked, and the anticipation of seeing all the goodies new roms contain. The feeling of having total control over your device is nice too.

[Thunderbolt General] animez:
I'm sure I'll root eventually, I'm just kinda in the same boat as MuckenMire, tired on the endless rom shuffle. The	TBolt is my first Android, but I'm coming from a number of WinMo 6.x devices. As some of you probably know from experience you pretty much had to flash a custom rom to make many of those phones usable. The Tbolt is a much better user experience stock than any of my old WinMo devices were with custom roms. Right now the bloatware would be the only reason I would bother with root. This phone is fast, stable and highly customizable stock. Right now I just don't see a compelling reason to root it.

That being said, first time I need to teather and VZW wants to charge me, I will probably root. I don't do it often enough to justify paying extra for it.

Sorry for this Trollin, It just irritates me.
[Thunderbolt General] Millzoid:
I'm over myself. I have time, but I just don't want to root. I'm happy with what I have. None of the roms look that great to me, so why bother? Why do some of you feel like everyone has to root. Like we're idiots cause we're running stock. Why do you really care what others are doing?
[Thunderbolt General] killersloth:
I've used all the sense/no sense roms for this inspire, cm7 is so fast but sense is just smoother and more stylish. I am using the sense 3.0 ROM, because its sense but better, lol.

I think all our phones should come rooted, to choose what to do with the many opportunities available to us.

[Thunderbolt General] mbrown3460:
well the reason why I stay stuck is because I don't really have any problems with the phone on stock...but I might consider to root if this phone will not be getting netfilx without rooting. Which is a shame that phones that are a year old can use netflix but at the end of the day I love this phone
[Thunderbolt General] Classick206:
I already have free tethering and free apps. every ROM out now sucks/is ugly as hell, and unrevoked still hasn't figured out how to root a TB and I refuse to go through that ridiculous procedure just to be able to say I'm rooted. ;)
[Thunderbolt General] akanatrix:
The reason I have not rooted is because I want a true AOSP ROM, I am picky and want exactly what is on the Nexus phones. Cyanogen Mod is close, but I don't want the added stuff. I may give CM7 a shot when it's released officially, we'll see. Not a perfect world, so I don't get everything I want :(
[Thunderbolt General] somnambulator:
I rooted + flashed my eris and was incredibly impressed. However i got my TB on launch day and wanted to wait a while for the modders to put out a nice bug-free ROM....however i'm in love with Sense. Im not rooted yet either because i really dont feel like spending a week getting my apps back to the way i want them. even with an app to restore apps, not all settings are restored.

Also, when you DL an amazon app/day "paid app for free" and uninstall it or root, is that app still available to you for free? i have a few paid apps i got off Amazon that i REALLY dont wanna lose. Wave Launcher, Flex T9 (BETTER THAN SWYPE??), gentle alarm, fancy widget pro, and business calendar are all solid apps and cost like $16 combined.

edit: this isnt to say i dont want to be rooted. if i could do it today without losing the amazon apps and all my settings i would do it instantly. i've no aversion and do want setcpu and some other nifty root-only apps.
[Thunderbolt General] ERIFNOMI:
The licenses are synced to your Amazon account so you can D/l them for free again at anytime. I've done quite a few complete wipes since getting a few free apps from amazon and they still work.

EDIT:Oh yeah. If you think you might want to root someday you might want to do it soon. Apparently the gingerbread update will prevent root. You would have to wait for another way to root. http://twitter.com/#!/TeamAndIRC/status/70165331527737345

[Thunderbolt General] MisterDonut:
I was recommended to XDA forum from a couple of friends who browse, and they suggested that this one is the most hard to the core...

This is my first android(TBOLT) and i found XDA one of the least newb friendly site. I had to read all the other sites to get my basic information because it was just easier to digest for a newbies..

I felt i have to gain enough knowledge to come chill and post at XDA.. just my 2cent as i am still trying to learn everyday.

So my question is why make XDA your home if you want basic no thrill/frills..

And if you do browse other sites.. then you certainly have time to root the damn phone..

ROoooOt rocks. its the gateway drug!

[Thunderbolt General] sprodigy:
I had an OG Droid for 2 years, never rooted it. I got a Thunderbolt around release, rooted it a few weeks later, and never looked back.

The #1 reason to root these phones, if not for the custom ROM action: remove/freeze bloatware! I hated the bloatware on my stock Thunderbolt! Even with a stock ROM, remove the bloat and free up space/memory in the process.
[Thunderbolt General] thegeebo:
I was waiting for Verizon to release 4G phones before upgrading, and when I heard good things of the TB I pulled the trigger.

I knew nothing of smartphones and rooting and all this until a month ago, when I read a random blog saying he drastically improved battery life by rooting and installing a custom ROM on Thunderbolt.

So I found myself here. I am happy too, because rooting the TB has produced better battery life and allowed me to learn more and do more with my phone.

The root process is very easy, and if you look you can find a TB_auto_root that you can run. It makes the whole process extremely simple and easy to follow, and all you do is respond to what the script says. I had my phone rooted quickly and easily, and if you need to unroot there is an auto_unroot as well.

Good luck everyone!
[Thunderbolt General] Asmodeus6:

Yup. Within hours of getting it in my hands I rooted it. I refuse to deal with junkware and sync services I dont use running and wasting battery. And no task killer beats the uninstall button in titanium backup. As for staying stock, my phone is. I keep going back to the non-rommed but debloated backup I made initially. Cm7 is still too alpha, even though I love that rom. Das bamf was causing me the same battery drain as the stock phone with all the bloat... (I used stripped). And I'm just not feeling the need to run something that consumes more battery, and does less. Yeah, it looks cool. But the stock debloated phone works really well.

So stock, but only kind of, and only until I find something I like...

But I wouldn't own a phone I couldn't root.
