[Verizon Droid Charge] linkismyhero:
From what I understand, it also has something to do with the streaming technology behind Netflix (Microsoft Silverlight) and the licensing of that technology to each phone manufacturer (which HTC and LG seem to have on lock so far). I'm not fully up to speed on the DRM issue, as I thought any protected video content (read: streaming video contect obtained through a subscription based service or copyright protected media) fell under DMCA jurisdiction and DRM copyright protection. So if I understood that correctly, that would mean that content viewed via apps such as Blockbuster, Amazon Prime, Samsung Media Hub and others all were DRM protected.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong, I'm by no means an expert on any of this. I just sell the phones at work, and it's getting harder and harder for me to explain to customers why their Android phone currently doesn't have Netflix, but other Android devices do. :(
[Verizon Droid Charge] jdkzombie:
in terms of updates and samsung/verizon. the fascinate is a different story. This droid charge isnt a middle line phone verizon offers. its one of their very few 4g lte devices. not to mention DROID badging. its a guarantee that VZW will hound samsung to keep this thing up and swinging asap since the thunderbolt sucks. not to mention their holiness Google has decreed that samsung and VZW dont **** around this time. who KNOWS how many angry fascinate owners *****ed out google because they didnt "force" the update as soon as it was available.

but about netflix, im just fine watching it on my xbox until it gets to the charge. matter of fact, has anyone tried a browser on their phone that emulates a desktop and tried logging in and streaming that way?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jagri44451:
Setting the browser to desktop doesn't work because Netflix uses Microsoft silverlight to play the videos.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Homestar1217:
I think that's true, and I think that 2.3 must have a way to copyright protect built in and that's what allows some of these devices to work that are Samsung or other manufacturers. However I think that phones that have a Snapdragon or other Qualcomm processors have a way to DRM built in, whether it be 2.2 or 2.3 and that's why some older phones can do it that haven't been graced with GB yet. As much as I wish we had Netflix, I'm glad we don't have a Snapdragon because their raw processing power may be awesome, but the graphics chips we have are far superior to what they're using! I know it won't be long before a VZW GSII comes out though and I must admit I will probably be jealous...
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
As a side note, I can run Netflix on my Galaxy Tab (on Overcome GB) just fine. I don't remember where I got the APK, probably from XDA, but I made no changes at all to my build.prop file. However, it didn't work until the GB leaks started rolling out (ie didn't work on Froyo). Knowing that both the Tab and the Charge run a Hummingbird, the Snapdragon DRM can be ignored (or spoofed!), and it's really a matter of whether or not we are on Gingerbread.

So, has anyone tried one of the GB roms and attempted to run Netflix, with or without a build.prop modification?

[Verizon Droid Charge] Kiwikicker:
I have tried to run Netflix on my charge without an edited build.prop running danalo's debloated GB with no luck. The app installs fine and will allow me to log in, but when I try to stream something, the screen stays black, the play/pause button shows up and that's it. Sometimes it will reload the app to the streaming page, sometimes nothing.

gonna try an edited build.prop

edit: may have something to do with my GB build being EG1 and not EG2??

I know most people wante to go the other way aroud, and that is: get the DESIRE HD sense interface on HD2, but i would like to search for an HD2 Sense like interface for DESIRE HD. I use to love the Scroll bar on the bottom, i knew where i was going, and with DESIRE HD sense i feeel like i'm lost around the screens.

So, can anyone help me with that?

I currently switch between Sense 3.0 ROMS and MIUI ROMS, witch one is released more recently, and neither Home UI are good for me because they don't have third party scrolable widgets support. Sense 3.0 hase the awsome lockscreen and stocks widget, and MIUI has the greatest music player(lyrics and VU meter inside) and a GO Launcher like UI (the best untill now) and a great status curtain system.

As far as i know there is no way to get it on a DHD. I might be wrong though

Another home replacement not necesarely touc flow 3D,i'm interested in the sliding bottom, or homescreens represented by icons instead of just lines.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ma3x747:
Spb shell 3D . You can manage all the "panels" on the 3D UI and there is a verry good slide botton.

Navigate to using root explorer, make sure it is r/w

Do the same for

key 115 VOLUME_UP (and DOWN if you want both)

Reboot and all done :D

Reboot and check the content of that file, if something is wrong with that file, it goes back to previous..

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] guitarz:
thank you so much

i already tried editing few times, and it didn't work at all :confused::confused:

how many space do i need?

actually, the original file already contains "wake" after key 115 volume up, but it didn't work, so i have been trying to modified it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] aly19:
can anyone upload the original folder?

thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] aydc:
I flashed the latest ICS beta ROM, XXLPB, and was disappointed to see this mod not work. So I took it upon myself to mod the keylayout files so that volume buttons don't wake up the device if lockscreen is disabled entirely.

As usual, make sure you have a nandroid backup before trying this. Copy all files to system/usr/ and reboot.

a "soft" brick would happen if you are changing your firmware and say you disconnect the cable mid installation, obviously all the system files needed to boot your phone for operation wouldn't have finished... so here you have a soft brick... some posts have defined what exactly it is.. but if you can get into download mode, which in this mode you can start the installation again and fix the phone you have soft bricked your phone... if your phone won't charge or boot or go intodownload mode.. fully bricked, ususally need to hardware to fix.

You can just modify your vhost header from

to

where 192.168.X.XXX is your local web server IP.

Then you should just write in your phone browser this :

http : //192.168.X.XXX/

and your local site should be there ;).

any download recomendations for it ?

id rather just hold the down arrow key to scroll down then to swipe with my finger.

I am really needing help about my Samsung Galaxy GT-i9000. I've been searching the internet for 8 straight hours and still no go. Perhaps I am not good in searching or simply really not familiar with the situation. I tried searching here, too but it has now taken me a ridiculous amount of time and effort to no avail. Please bear with me. (this is my first post)

I rooted my phone about a week ago (after months of searching I finally did it!) Then it took me a while to flash a new rom. I got Darky's via the ROM downloads using Rom Manager - I was ecstatic! I was happy with it but out of curiosity I wanted to try Cyanogen 7 which, again, I flashed this morning.

I was able to flash Cyanogen 7 but for some reason the Android Market isn't working. So I decided to Restore the previous setting/rom (Darky's) but here is where the problem started.

I am now unable to use my phone. I just turn it on and I am stuck in "Galaxy S GT-I9000) forever. I press up+home+power but just goes back to the same screen. I tried down+home+power and I was just glad it worked. However, I don't know what to do. Based on what I have searched I (still unsure here ok?) might be required to flash a new base rom or kernel - really, all these information overwhelms me.

To experienced users, perhaps I don't know the right questions to ask. All I want is for me to be able to use the phone again. Please help me, 8 hours straight of searching has got me dizzied. How can I get past this screen? There are some information I've come across like flashing a base rom, which I wanted to try, but it asks for information such about my phone (such as whether it is JVx or JVy or JVanything) which I don't have because I cant get in it!

Please guide me? Thank you very much.

[General Questions and Answers] creative0100:
You didnt look hard enough... ;)

Sounds like you are on a boot loop.

just download a stock rom from here and flash via Odin. Or install a custom rom via odin.

I personally semi bricked mine during and official update as I didnt remove OCLF before I did it. I just picked a rom off the thread and reflashed. I had no idea what was on there before but if you are putting a custom rom on anyway, I only did it to get rom manager working.

so long as you can get into download ( the yellow triangle) you can recover it easily in Odin.

Odin is a doddle to use aswell. Just follow the guides!
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
You need to wipe properly before flashing a new rom or restoring. Wipe data, cache and dalvik before restoring next time.

The reason you didn't have the market on CM7 is because you have to flash google apps (gapps) separately. This should have been explained in the thread for CM7 or on the Cyanogenmod site.

You need to read everything before you flash something, or else you'll run into problems.
