I have it running on stock 1.2, rooted with MN. I use PC36100 and HTC (this spoofs an EVO 4G).
[Nook Color General] uquackmeup:
I can't save changes to build.prop either. I have a stock MN rooted 1.2. I've followed the Youtube How-to using ES File Explorer and also tried File Expert. What am I missing?

Thanks,

Ron
[Nook Color General] slimons:
I'm running 1.2 and I had to run the modified .apk AND use the Vision/htc. Everything now works but market downloads won't complete. I can browse and select apps, but they just pretend to download for, well, at least ten minutes.

Anyone else have this problem?
[Nook Color General] KWKSLVR:
Do you remember which NetFlix APK you used. So far, those settings give me audio but no video with the app from the market. About to retry the modded.apk(which didn't work at all).

Edit: It works! Just finicky on some streams.
[Nook Color General] KWKSLVR:
The only way to fix that is going to be to change your prop back to stock settings and download what you want from the market...or download apps from your pc and sideload them.
[Nook Color General] carterman:
I had the same problem. The problem is that /system was mounted as readonly. I got around this by rebooting into recovery mode. While it was sitting on the recovery selection screen I used adb pull/push modify the build.prop.

That aside, I am not sure this is going to work. I now get the error "Please make sure that your device's Date and Time settings are updated to the current date." If I quit and restart the app I get the login screen. I enter my info, hit the login button and then ( in less that spectacular fashion) the app just quits. Oh well, I might just have to wait for the official release.
[Nook Color General] KWKSLVR:
You guys that are having problems modding your build.prop, use ADB to copy it to your pc on C:\ then click on "Compatibility files" at the top and you'll see it there. I use free program called Notepad++ to edit mine.
[Nook Color General] KWKSLVR:
Download Notepad++ from here http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download

Do this with ADB:

adb pull /system/build.prop

Look under C:

Windows 7 users, click on "Compatibility files" in the middle of the top task bar.

You'll see build.prop, right click, open with Notepad++.

Make your changes, save it as build.prop

Open it again and make sure your changes are there. If they are, you're good to go.

Go back to ADB and type:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system

adb push build.prop system/

adb shell mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system

adb reboot

Let your Nook reboot. Use your file manager to look at system/build.prop and verify that your modded build.prop is there. After that, I installed the Nook App and all was well.
[Nook Color General] chinly43:
1) the dev/block/mmcblk1p2 is specific to an sdcard ROM, I believe.

2) just to change system to rw, you shouldn't need that part of it, right? you can just mount -o remount,rw /system?
[Nook Color General] KWKSLVR:
I think so. I've always been puzzled by it too and just done the above, and it's worked for me. :eek:
[Nook Color General] fatfishycell:
I got it working using the Nexus S / samsung change to build.prop with the version downloaded from the market. Tested it by watching daybreakers and noticed the audio would cut out every few seconds, anyone else notice this? I'm currently running cm7.00 I thought a faster kernel might help but my first attempt at flashing one failed so I'm restoring from backup and will try again and might even update to 7.03. Does it work to upgrade kernel from onboard clockworkmod or do i need to make a sdflash like I had to use to get cm7 on?
[Nook Color General] bhess:
Sorry but I can't find where to type the adb pull command? What am I missing?
[Nook Color General] KWKSLVR:
Do you have ADB installed on your computer?
[Nook Color General] pstein2:
I have it installed and it will play the videos but the audio and video are both in fast forward. Do anyone know how I can get it to work right? thanks in advance.
[Nook Color General] fatfishycell:
After further digging I found that uboot ver 1.2 can fix problems with video found that as a flashable zip here. I upgraded to cm703 but still couldn't get dalingrin's OC kernel to load until I found out that cm703 needs ext4 in its updater-script and found modified kernel with that fixed here. Now I got netflix playing with no audio drops and a nook running 1.3ghz cool as a cucumber.
[Nook Color General] fatfishycell:
pstein2: what device did you use in your build.prop? I read that one of them makes it extra speedy. try a different device to spoof I used ro.product.model=Nexus S and ro.product.manufacturer=samsung I left all the other lines the same.
[Nook Color General] pstein2:
I used the Nexus S.
[Nook Color General] bhess:
I did install ADB but I'm stuck there. It doesn't seem to find the nook and it won't let me type in the command box.

Does anyone know if I can even do this running my root from the SD card? I might be fighting a loosing battle here. When I try to save the changes and get the error I found out that it's on read only. Even though I changed it in the ES settings. That's why I wonder if I'm going to have to do a memory root to get it to work.
[Nook Color General] cashX3r0:
new to adb, i have seen my device in adb before, but now i cant. i have the drivers installed for my nc running cm7.1.0rc0 from SD. can see it in windows. i dont know what i did to stop seeing it under devices.

cant change the file in es file mgr (due to running off the sd?), it wont mount.

but this is the last step to stop my wife from returning this and getting an ipad. i'm so close plz HELP! :eek:
[Nook Color General] bhess:
After a few stressful hours I finally got it to work using the edited apk in this thread. The second one. I had to uninstall the regular netflix app first though.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076150

Thanks for the help peeps
[Nook Color General] KWKSLVR:
Glad you got it to work. My Nook is finicky with ADB via USB as well. It works perfect with WirelessADB and I prefer it anyway.
[Nook Color General] bhess:
Copy over the second file from that thread to your sd card using windows explorer. Uninstall the netflix app if you installed it earlier. Then using the nook and a file explorer (ES or astro) locate that file and click it. It should ask to install it.

That worked for me.

Good luck
[Nook Color General] cruelwingnut:
I'm having some real troubles getting this .apk to install. It doesn't help that I'm a newb both to android and rooting. Here's what I can tell you:

I'm running an Autonooter'd NC that was originally at update 1.1.0. I can't see the app in the market, so I've been trying to sideload it using ADB wireless. I can connect to my NC just fine, but every time I try and use the ADB install command, it replies with "install_failed_older_sdk". I had (re)rooted(?) to CM7 and at least got the app to install, but it wasn't playing video, so I used ClockworkMod to go back to Autonooter (I also didn't like not having the stock reader available). Finally, I've tried using ES File Explorer, Super Manager, and Astro to copy the .apk over via SD Card and install, but every time I try Astro's App Manager to install, it says it can't open the APK file.

Sorry for being a total noob--but will this apk not work with an Autonooter'd NC? If I go to something like Honeycomb, will I still have the stock reader option? (I really liked CM7, just didn't like having to use the Nook app vs. stock reader app).

Any suggestions? (Thanks in advance!)

EDIT: Also, I had tried changing my build.prop to both the HTC and Nexus S options to see if that would help anything, but the latest one that I tried (HTC) screwed up my NC--I couldn't change screen brightness, and it would power off completely when the screen timed out. Restoring my backed-up build.prop fixed that issue.
[Nook Color General] KWKSLVR:
I'm gonna venture a completely baseless guess that it might have something to do with the version of Nook OS you're on. I'd try updating to 1.2.0 first. Froyo may be the key here.

The only other thing I can think of that might explain getting that error is if you have a version of Netflix already installed, but it sounds like you don't.
[Nook Color General] skwalas:
Ah hah! So I am NOT the only one seeing this stupid "check your date" error message.

Now how to fix it?
[Nook Color General] uquackmeup:
This worked for me except I have the chipmonks high speed player.

I'm getting closer....

UPDATE>>>

I lost video but audio is still there in high speed
[Nook Color General] Deltabear:
Works, then, not so much...

OK, so I have a rooted Nook on MN 4.5.6 and have no issues with the Market, etc., outside of what everyone else is, and am very pleased...HOWEVER... LOL There's always a but... I'm having issues with Netflix in I have the htc / Vision set right now and it works the very first time I use Netflix after coming up, but when I go back and try a second time I then get a black screen and the audio is fine, not chipmunks or anything, but no video at all. Any hints, tips, or suggestions?

I wiped the Nook to 1.01, upgraded to 1.2, MN'ed straight to 4.5.6 (had tested others, but wiped between MNs) and have done all the base fixes, etc. I changed the build.prop with Root Explorer which I did pay for, well worth a fin. Tried both htc & Vision as well as samsung & Nexus S.

Thanks!

[Nook Color General] flipflargin:
A temp solution is to use "Manage applications" under settings, select Netflix app and "Force stop". Start Netflix and you should be working again.
[Nook Color General] aragornnyc:
Force Stop and Restart worked...thanks!

would flash 10.3 help?

Can't find 10.3 in the Market
[Nook Color General] Ronin3178:
Lessons learned with getting Netflix working

Ok, now first this only applies to eMMC versions, as I have never messed with SD versions since I first got a NC and saw the HC preview.

I am currently running the 7.1 beta 3.1 with Dalingrins 2.6.32 5/13 OC kernel :

that requires a setting of HTC/Vision in the build.prop

- Samsung gives you chipmunks

- If you haven't already, and want to venture into the eMMC realm, I modified the build.prop in the zip files of the ROM prior to flashing.

- From some other forums, if you are trying the nightly's, it appears that #76 & #77 do not work with the older 2.6.29 kernels (up to 4/24) but work for some with the newer .32 kernel 5/13

- Flash 10.3 from the market results in choppy video on the beta, the B&N 10.1 (search the forums for it) is best as its different than stock 10.1 I didn't test this back in 7.0.2 or any of the nightly's (up to #70)

Hope some of this info will be helpful someone.

Ronin
[Nook Color General] Deltabear:
Thanks!

Thank you all for the quick answers. I also found that if I use super task killer, though it is not recommended for 1.2, it will kill NetFlix as well and allow me to go back in.

Thanks!

netflix in canada for nook color

For those of you with a canadian account or residing in canada -- netflix did not work with the Nexus S and samsung setting once the nook was carried over the border; but it has been tested and working with Milestone and motorola settings for model and manufacturer.
[Nook Color General] cmstlist:
CM7, in Canada - I'm using the hacked APK without device check from xda without any changes to build.prop. Works great on the NC. Does not work on Nexus One in Canada.

I strongly suggest this over modifying the system files, as you don't want to screw other things up.

Has anyone else had their netflix stop streaming and randomly go back to the queue?

I was trying to run down my battery by playing netflix at 925/performance full brightness, when I noticed that the playback would randomly stop and it goes back the instant queue. Never happens in the same place, first time it happened less than five minutes into the movie, then again 10-15 min, them almost an hour into the movie.

Parse Error trying to install .apk file?

I tried download to my laptop and copy to the nook.

I tried the dropbox method.

[Nook Color General] colekane:
Having troubles getting Netflix to run on my nook color. I have two sd cards both running cm7.0.3-encore. I got netflix up and running last night no problems (edited build.prop etc...) Tried to get it going on diff sd card and I get a white screen with;

Fault Name: OutboundFailure

Error Type: Default

Description: Target Response Error

Service: Pass_Through_Target

Operation (Target): pass_through_target

If I do not get this screen it will take me to the login screen, but it will not sign in it just times out.

Tried the sd card that had it working last night and it is now doing the same. Only thing I did different on this since running working netflix was install the modified flash10.3 to get hulu working. I have tried uninstalling that but still get same results.

Anyone had this happen or know a solution?
[Nook Color General] jcford25:
I'm not sure if this was just something random going on last night. I was experiencing the same problem but around 10:00 pm PDT I was able to log in with no problem.

[Nook Color General] Telemachus:
Wow, that was a long post with a lot of useless information... :)

None of those mod APK's will work. Didn't want to pay for root explorer, and ES File Explorer doesn't allow writing to system, even though it says it should...

ADB to push and pull the build file fixes chipmunks, so YEAH!

Is that file specific to Netflix, or used for several other purposes in Nook? If its only Netflix, can't a zip file be made to patch it through uSD CMR?
[Nook Color General] Colornookuser:
There is no reason to change settings now. download "netflix-devicecheck-disabled.apk" removes the device checking.
[Nook Color General] yozh:
So is there a fix for fast playing on 7.1 beta build ? RC0 ? It just play in 2x and sound is fast.
[Nook Color General] Ronin3178:
If you are modifying the build.prop, use HTC/vision. The Samsung causes the chipmunks on the beta. If you are using the modified apk, then maybe you should go back to original and modify build.prop
[Nook Color General] Ronin3178:
Yes it does, I just did it with ES. You have to go into settings->root options
[Nook Color General] yozh:
Good one. That worked.

Super Newb question, and knowing my luck, I think I know what the answer is...

Every install gives the same error..."Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package."

Any help would be great
[Nook Color General] japzone:
Your download is probably bad. Try downloading it again. Better yet, download it via a Web Browser on the Nook or thru the XDA or Tapatalk Apps.

Also make sure you have "Unknown Sources" checked off in Application Settings.

If that still doesn't work Download Netflix from the Market and use the build.prop hack.

[Nook Color General] RageAgain:

However, I get chipmunks now *unless* I edit the build.prop file...

[Nook Color General] framitz:
Interesting. I have the modified build prop and original Netflix was working. Then I installed the update and got black screen for video. I reverted and it works again.

Currently I'm restoring the original build.prop in hopes it will help with a market issue. I'll try the new version of Netflix with stock build.prop as well.

The app ran with no video and chipmunk sound. I re-modifed my build.prop and the new version of Netflix plays.

I still have a market issue where larger apps are not found even though I have them installed!

Cordy, Rocket Bunnies, and Flash are examples.

I wish I knew how I fixed this market issue in the first place so I could duplicate the fix.

Even on the updated Netflix I keep getting that damned "make sure you have network connectivity and you date and time settings are correct" error.

I've messed with just about every network option there is on this thing trying to resolve it. Any ideas?

I have to wonder if its because I'm on satellite internet, if the latency is throwing off some kind of time-checking or something...

I don't have other wifi hotspots to check this with though.

And I know at least one other poster was getting the same error, so its not a figment of my imagination.

What is the original build.prop so I can change it back if need be.

I changed my LCD Density so I think it rewrote over my original build.prop.bak.

Assuming you're on CM7, the "original" build.prop is inside the ROM zip file in the system directory.

So yes, Netflix removed the restrictions, but I've heard that you still get "chipmunk sounds" if you don't use the Vision build.prop, is that not true?

Seems so, Yes.:(

I've simply created a build.prop file that I insert/overwrite into the *.zip file when I update to a new build.

Saves a WHOLE lot of time and effort, as it automatically installs with the new build.
