I installed the Leaky Gingerbread rom and netflix works but the rom is too unstable.

I keep getting "temp too high or low error, charging stopped" constantly and makes the phone vibrate. If there was a work around for this it would be worth dealing with the other bugs (gps, no 4g) for netflix.

oh well =(.
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
Did you change the build .prop? Would you be more specific on how you got it to work? You are the only Epic user to confirm this so far.
[Epic 4G General] Marlinsfan88:
think gingerbread has the DRM setting already set on it once flashed. guys on the captivate havent had to change anything on their phones, just runs on gingerbread as is. maybe find what it is that allows it to function on 2.3 and port if possible?
[Epic 4G General] alus415:
oh I forgot to mention the leaky rom seems to be a pure vanilla gingerbread so it seems netflix would work on any gingerbread phone.

If we only had more than 1 gingerbread rom.
[Epic 4G General] Lord-Anubis:
I can confirm too that it works on leaky gingerbread, but it is NOT aosp, it has touch kids 3 installed.

It is a horrible rom, none fancy Gingerbread animations like in the nexus, and it has major charging and reliability issues.

[Epic 4G General] alus415:
What's touch kids ?

And yes really buggy rom but least there is hope , eventually someone can maybe make it work

[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
So that's it then. Netflix works on Gingerbread Epic ROMS with no build.prop spoofing. Either someone needs to reverse engineer the Ginger security or we simply wait for a decent Ginger ROM. Good job folks.

Has anyone tried this build.prop yet? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13732640&postcount=11

I would try myself but I don't have an account..... yet :)
[Epic 4G General] gearless:
I tried the build.prop to no avail, something interesting I have an old netflix app that is currently working almost completely where as the new one crashes or boots back to home after entering username and password, here is the link to the zip there's an NFO explaining what the compilation is. Maybe someone with actual skills can do something with it?

I cant post the link here too much of a newb, check out the epic forum on the sdx boards under "netflix is here" or if someone can hotlink it would be much appreciated.:)
[Epic 4G General] pixlz:
teh woot~! this thread gives me newfound hope that perhaps, one day, a special rom developers team will make Netflix work before GB officially comes out. That means they'd just need to do it by... ::counts on fingers:: 2012. ;)

(god i hope i'm joking 9_9;;)

~le poof~
[Epic 4G General] beantastic:
Yes I did to no avail.
[Epic 4G General] Schuby:
Poking around the included libraries (.so files if your interested) using Ida Pro there seems to be a few calls to see if a device is compatible. Its been a while but assuming the coding is straight forward, one could try nulling out a few checks to bypass this restriction.

Ill poke more tomorrow and definitely no promises (my last project was EverQuest in 2000) but ill see if I can change anything.

Edit: I wish I had IDA Pro 6.1, apparently it supports Android code!
[Epic 4G General] ZekeDev:
There may be another work around rather than just running it on Gingerbread... I'm testing now and I'll report back with data as soon as I'm done.
[Epic 4G General] ZekeDev:
Ok, so I believe I've got it. I gotta do a little more tweaking, because some of the videos don't play, but it's definitely a go. I'm gonna write up a tutorial here in a little bit so everyone can do it if they want. Hopefully with the tutorial that I write up, more devs can jump on it and we can get it figured out to play all videos. Until I get the tutorial up though, I'll leave you with these:

If anyone thinks they can help, hit me up in a PM... We need to figure out how to get it to play all videos... It's barely playing any now... So i'm not sure what I did... I'll try to get it worked out as soon as possible.
[Epic 4G General] ranchosteve:
Awesome :)
[Epic 4G General] haas599:
Great job getting it past the login screen. I'm sure you could get lots of help by a lot of people if you just post your work so far on this thread. You could also start your own Netflix for Epic thread we could brainstorm at. There a bunch already, one more won't hurt if it gets something accomplished.

[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
I was able to get past the login screen with just a nexus build.prop. I just woke up and no work tonight,so Im about to get on this now.

@ Zekedev,So you actually got some videos to play?
[Epic 4G General] ZekeDev:
Yeah, I had 2 videos play... for about 10 seconds each, then I exited the application... and I've been messing with it all day, but now it doesn't wanna play any. I gotta figure out what I did wrong.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Im about to pull some files from ED12 leaky GB and see if that helps...
[Epic 4G General] ZekeDev:
Cool... I'm about to do the same ...and if it helps, I'm running MIUI right now. I gave that a try to see if it would work since GB worked.
[Epic 4G General] probrian:
Don't forget about us! Sitting here refreshing. I'll be willing to test anything as well if you need :)

[Epic 4G General] Censura_Umbra:
Okay, I read that it worked on gingerbread but I'm not a fan on that leaky rom so I am using CM7 Alpha 4 (totally worth the faults if I can get netflix to work). I installed the app located on this thread and it allowed me to sign in to the app and use it as a netflix manager but when I tried to play something it said my device was not supported.

So then I proceeded to change the build.prop one item at a time (change the value, reboot, check if netflix plays, repeat)

First I changed the device to Nexus S, this made it so the app stopped telling me my device was not supported. It would load the netflix loader, then it would act as if it was starting to play but the screen remained black and there was some sound for a few seconds (as other people have reached).

So, trying to fix this black screen problem, and armed with the T-Mobile Nexus S build.prop, I continued changing the values in my build.prop one by one, hoping one would correct the black screen.

After this didn't work I re-downloaded netflix, still nothing.

I am here to report that none of them worked. I am very disappointed as this is the one thing I want from android. If anyone solves the black screen on this netflix app please let me know, I will try it on my set up.

I think it may not be a build.prop error, it may be something else missing from CM7 and 2.2 that is available in actual epic 2.3. We can do this! We are so close!
[Epic 4G General] ZekeDev:
Oh yeah, quick question... Do you guys have the latest version of Flash installed or no? 10.3 I believe it is?
[Epic 4G General] Censura_Umbra:
I didn't at the time of testing, but I just downloaded it, and it still shows only a black screen.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Then its probably gonna be in the kernel...
[Epic 4G General] o0gamerbear0o:
except netflix works on ED12 using ACS EC05 kernal. for me anyways.
[Epic 4G General] dilwaladoctor:
I got Netflix installed on my G1. Opens up successfully, sign in successful, shows movies list and everything, but when playing video it gives the same "Device Not Supported" message. I located the build. prop but don't know how to change the two lines of manufacturer and phone model. Can I do it through terminal emulator?

I'm not a developer, please just guide me on how to edit the build. prop. Thanks.

So we just need working video codecs in the epic cm7 right?
[Epic 4G General] megabiteg:
I think that more than the codecs we also need the frameworks, that may end up being the most important clue...

Sent from an Epic with 4G
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Here is an apk that has device checks disabled,so no need to change build.prop,now we need the codecs and framwork...

Ill be working on this once I get back to the house,about to step out for an hour or 2,its nice in GA...

http://www.mediafire.com/?agimueznybebkem
[Epic 4G General] ZekeDev:
Yeah, I'm gonna take a nap, then I'll dive into it... I'm hoping to get this sorted out by the end of the weekend so I got something to do at work on Monday Haha. But good lookin out on the modded apk. I'm gonna start diggin into the codecs when I wake up.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Im thinking the codecs will be what is really needed,since the modded apk will start to play,but no video...
[Epic 4G General] notsosmrtgeek:
this worked fully on the acs-ed12 good work man. Hey i have the one from the lg phone. That one will let you log in and browse on 2.2 would you be able to do the same on that one.

edit the forum is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=994768 the apk is on the first page.

It's the acs-ed12 the leaky GB rom?

What you mean worked well can you watch videos?

thanks!
[Epic 4G General] notsosmrtgeek:
Yea. I watched two. And was able to move around in the video and everything. I haven't tried the leaky version so idk. I know that the apk didn't work on acs-ed12. Yesterday when they said it was on the leaky version. But I was able to watch movies. I would like it on 2.2. Thou. But if not that will work also most of the problems that ed12 has doesn't bother me anyway so. :-)
[Epic 4G General] megabiteg:
Can you explain better what your running the apk on? What's your ROM/KERNEL versions so we can understand from what point yu started and could work from there!

Thanks!

@everyone: when yu have progress, please state your rom/kernel versions so we can all move along and not have to play the guessing game, its bestif everyone is on the same page.

ok I started with ec05 stock tar rooted still rfs and i have the drockstar clean kernel eco5 v1.02. I go into cwm 2.5 wipe 2x data/cache/dalvik then flash the acs-ed12-sign.zip thats all I will flash again to see it i can repeat this. also i was using wifi at the time dont know if that might help any.
[Epic 4G General] notsosmrtgeek:
ok i have 3 pictures that i am going to try and post first is the rom/kernal second is loading my queue list and 3rd is video but the shoot me app did not post the video it self just the progress bar but it work. o it says leaky gb does any one know for sure if this one and the leaky gb is the same or not. I know it is 2 different threads so idk for sure. but I am using the zip one
[Epic 4G General] ZekeDev:
Ok guys... Here's a list of updates so we're all on the same page.

1. ACS Leaky GB ED12 w/ included kernel - Netflix DOES work on this, as long as you're ok with the "issues" that have been reported. I personally have not run the Leaky GB, so I cant comment on the issues.

2. Ecooce hooked us up with a modified Netflix app. This modified version no longer requires that you change your build.prop in order to make the app think your phone is supported. The link to this modified app is HERE so just give 'er a click ;)

3. We do NOT have it working on 2.2 yet, but myself as well as Ecooce is looking into the codecs to see what we can work out.

4. If anyone else has any ideas, please, feel free to share them. That's all we got for now.
[Epic 4G General] notsosmrtgeek:
what about this netflix.apk it will let you login on the 2.2 roms but says this device is not compatable. maybe you or ecooce can do the same with it and get it working.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
It wont work with that version,the new apk has the updated files to be more compatible, so this file is the one to work with.
[Epic 4G General] notsosmrtgeek:
damn i was useing this for a while since i could manage my queue with it so down the drain it goes. The one you moded does not work on cm7 there is sound like it wants to play but no video. on to try more hehehe i love weekends.
[Epic 4G General] akenis:
Downloaded a net que manager the other day and it required Adobe Air. Could that be a prerequisite?
[Epic 4G General] haas599:
No and I suggest using Mobile Queue as it doesn't require Air.

[Epic 4G General] alus415:
which netflix app you used the one from the LG or the new one?
[Epic 4G General] alus415:
Btw ACS ed12 is the same Leaky Rom (ec05 version available too)

So both have the same bugs and ed12 messes up with 3g.

So ACS LEAKY GB (ED12 and EC05) is a no go for me but Netflix works.

sigh...
[Epic 4G General] notsosmrtgeek:
The one the ecooce moded but I only got it to work with ed12. Acs has a tar file also but that one doesnt say leaky rom. what rom r u talking about for the ec05
[Epic 4G General] alus415:
I installed acs ed12 and under settings in the build version it says "Leaky Gingerbread" but you are right it's the same , i don't know why I thought there was a ec05 one.

Still the same buggy rom =(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dn3g3l:
i normally don't hear it when the volume is set no more than half. but sometime the person on the other line is speaking too soft and i need to up the volume. the top speaker sounds like it's loose or rattling when the volume is set at more than half and holding the phone to talk against your ear. i'm guessing the word for that is distorted? is this normal for all g2x or just mine? you can try it out just by calling voicemail and up the volume.

i did a search but the speaker questions other people ask were for the bottom speaker.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
if it sounds like there is actually movement from the speaker I'd exchange the phone. if its just distortion I'd chock that up to the fact that that is a very low output speaker so it wont handle high volume well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] K.wayne_m3:
I have the same problem I didn't notice it for the first 2 weeks I had the phone because I use blue tooth or head phone mic a lot I noticed about 4 days ago. it is annoying conscidering we pay a lot of hard earned money for these phone. When I bought my phone I was broke until my next pay check.
[Thunderbolt General] CarbonGen:
I have a few people testing this rom out. If you want to be my test dummy pm me.
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
Wouldn't CM7 fill that void, and this just be a skinned version of it? You should probably give credit where credit is due, and in this case that would be a LOT to the Cyanogenmod team, since all you're doing is putting a skin on it (and there are already a few skins available for CM7 alpha).
[Thunderbolt General] CarbonGen:
I haven't released the rom yet so no credit has to be given at this time. So thanks for the heads up.
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
Paint me skeptical -- and if I'm wrong, and my skepticism is unfair and unjust, then I do certainly apologize beforehand -- but you have like 2 posts, you claim you don't own a Thunderbolt, yet you've made a CM7 build that is "skinned." You're extremely vague in your post, there are no screenshots, no additional information, nothing. I wouldn't dare flash your ROM without some credit given and some credibility.
[Thunderbolt General] CarbonGen:
That's good news for you because its not a ready rom yet. Hense no screenshots. And yes I'm very vague because I've only started this project. So keep your panties out of a bunch and hold tight.

I hate the Thunderbolt community. Go look in the Eris forums. It's a ****ty ass phone and they don't have anyone complaining about the devs there. Grow up everyone.
[Thunderbolt General] DS36:
Thank you the Eris community was by far the best I have seen on here. Everyone there was supportive of one another and we mostly got along with each other most of the time. There are far too many people on here flexing their nerd muscles, why do we new to pick on every little insignificant error or flaw and straight make people feel stupid from behind a computer screen in the comfort of their own home. It's truly pathetic guys and needs to stop.
[Thunderbolt General] jaysckap:
+1 this is bull****. Give this Guy a chance. How you gonna hate on someone for no reason at all.
[Thunderbolt General] Bern612:
All i can say is wow. I have read threads where people ask what has happened to rom dev for the tb, and where are the themes. I just downloaded ubuntu trying to learn that so i could learn some of this stuff. And try to do something, and u have/had someone trying to do something for our community and you all basically say f u. To him is this what xda has turned into. I remember some very good dev left the Di community for the same reason. Sad part is he was run away for trying to give us something, for a device he doesn't even own.....if u are the same one from the Di and ,910 and 920 I say I sorry you left. Help if your not I'm still sorry
[Thunderbolt General] Forgetfull:
We are our own worst enemies...
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
Seriously guys whether this actually comes to fruition or not is beyond the point, let's be civil here. There is no need to bash somebody who plans to dev here, and he probably posted it here since its a teaser thread at this.point and teaser threads are not allowed in dev section.
[Thunderbolt General] topxshelfxtre:
Honestly, I dont have many post either but i know a heck of alot about rooting and installing roms on many phones outside of the thunderbolt. I now have the thunderbolt and i visit XDA daily looking for new cool roms. Let the guy do what he wants. You have to start somewhere right??? If you had a new business what would you do to get your name out??? Hope people come to you for your business build up your name and your rep. And honestly until you can come up with even anything near a build for the Thunderbolt i suggest not bashing other people for their creativity. Thanks

[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
Let's be serious, there was no need to post a "teaser" thread when there was NOTHING at all to show. And every indication was pointing at this being CM7 with a skin over it.

An adult with a Masters Degree, would have much better sense, knowledge, and use of the English language. "I'm on my phone so I can't spell correctly" .... really... :rolleyes:

If you can't take someone's harsh criticizing over the internet, how the hell do you function in reality every day :confused:
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
I wouldn't say drama. You have a bunch of people who know nothing of android, coming in and just constant complaining that things don't work. They don't search, read, or even think in some cases. It gets kinda tiring when you see the same "How do I flash 'X' rom/radio/kernel/theme". 95% of the questions that are asked have already been answered. And the people who say they searched already for it, 5% of them are telling the truth.
[Thunderbolt General] jaysckap:
Agreed! That should be the first thing you see when coming to XDA. But then again no one would read it
[Thunderbolt General] Nikolai2.1:
True but it all amount to kinda the same thing. And the devs dont wanna deal with it. I agree teaser threads are dumb, but he didnt deserve all the **** that was thrown at him
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
True, but someone with maturity wouldn't have "ended" development. That's why, I won't lie, I come off as an ass in some threads. I love this phone and I want the dev community to grow and become much better. It's only been 2 months since this phone has been out and people are acting like we should have everything for this phone already. People have become so impatient. Hell we don't even have a true 1-click root (don't say we do unless you want another flame war), people should be grateful for the few things we do have. Everyone that just *****es and complains about this phone over and over, there are a ton of different devices to switch to, if this one is so bad, sell it and get something else.

/rant
[Thunderbolt General] Nikolai2.1:
We do have a 1 click root.....

jk.

but seriously i agree, if devs wanna release something they should do it for themselves regardless of what people say. I know adrenalyne got some crap in the beginning and so did slayher but theyre still with us. and honestly everyone is just waiting for CM7, but dont seem to understand that Slayher has his own personal life with six kids and cant always get on the damn computer to build **** for us.
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
If the OP was so incensed by the skepticism and/or criticism he recieved from myself and some others, he should probably grow some thicker skin. His reactionary attitude is not a trait that most developers I deal with on a day-to-day basis have.

He set himself up for it.
[Thunderbolt General] headcheese:
exactly what i was thinking. running away isn't the best way to prove someone wrong.

but i do think a carbon skinned CM7 would be pretty cool.
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
The fact that Slayher and Adryn got flamed by people is insane. It just shows the complete lack of respect for the devs who have provided so much for us. FOR FREE might I add, maybe people are forgetting that. These devs were not "hired" by XDA to produce anything. Every dev on here, AFAIK, has a real life outside of here. They have jobs/wives/husbands/gf/bf/brothers/sisters/family/friends/etc to worry about. This is their hobby, something they do for fun, they enjoy doing it. Until people come in here and **** on them for no reason whatsoever. Friendly banter/some trolling is all in good fun. But to put down respected devs, is just plain obscene.
[Thunderbolt General] Nikolai2.1:
XDA mods should start doing temporary suspensions on people's accounts, maybe that would help
