Current status

Thanks everyone for the donations, and thanks for the support. At least I know that people are benefiting from my work here. I am glad that I can give back to a community that has contributed so much.

Current status:

Still working on the graphics glitch update. I need more feedback on the splash logo. I am one for one right now (stock or custom). I have three completed but I still have three more to go.

I will upload the STOCK update disabled 1.2.2 today (hopefully). There will probably not be a blue update disabled, unless I suddenly gain a hell of a lot of free time. (I thought about just disabling the update check in my previous 1.2.2 mods; that's a lot of work though)

If there is great enough demand, I will try my best to provide you all with exactly what you want, but I cannot please everyone. The scope of work has already increased exponentially. :D

I appreciate any and all feedback, keep supporting xda!

Edit 2: removed nasty remarks

I have a very cheap, low end tablet.

Zepad zenithink ZT-180 1Ghz version2

froyo 2.2

512 mb ram

4 gb nand

10" 1024x600 screen

I tried the various versions of the netflix.apk posted here and there, but none work. When i try to play a movie, it seems to try to play it, but just returns to the main Netflix screen (no error message).

the youtube app plays flawlessly (as well as local movies using a media player), so theoretically, Netfix should be able to develop a version that will run on this tablet?

[sarcasm]No CM Blue version!? Sacrilege![/sarcasm]
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
It is funny you should say that. I was thinking about talking to the CM guys to see if they care if I make a CM themed app.

But, since demand has slowed, I do not think there is a need.
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
Did you try the HTC Vison Spoof? It is old, and I am not familiar with your device, but I was running on otherwise incompatible devices. Might be worth a try.

I love the work you've done. However, i too am suffering from the "lag" and stuttering :(.

[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
I know this is a terrible issue. I wish they was something on my end that I could do. Netflix needs to pull up its "big boy pants" and start sending some quality streams to our devices.

All I can recommend is try the disabled update check version (V1.2.2) to see if it gets any better.
[Android Apps and Games] jolugo:
Is there a way to make the volume go higher? Some shows are not very loud and if there is noise around its hard to hear sometimes. Im using my headphones by the way and an EVO 3D.

DSP manager

If you cant find it here, I will try to get a link up later.
[Android Apps and Games] StrifeSoldierVII:
I have attached the screenshots that you had requested from me.

The only thing I could not get was a screenshot for portrait mode on the before movie screen for the stock app, because it doesn't rotate.

My screenshots should provide you with the answers to help make a better tablet app I hope. Thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] StrifeSoldierVII:
I posted this on one of the other Netflix threads...

"The entire system volume itself has always been low for every Android device I've seen by default. Do what I do... use an equalizer and max out the settings. The system volume level literally will get 10 times louder. It's easy to use and makes everything so much louder. It really is nice to have, and it really should be a part of Android by default."

Equalizer on the Market: Click Here

I've been using this app on my Xoom for months now. DSPManager only goes up to 10dB, meanwhile Equalizer goes up to 15dB, at least on the Xoom anyways. This means... you will have louder audio output using Equalizer rather than DSPManager.

I really wish someone would update DSPManager to output up to 15dB on the Xoom. DSPManager was always the boss...
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
OK, so the stock apps browsing screen rotates on the tablet?

Please perform the same tests on this app. Thanks!

I know it is green, but I have not done the red one yet, I always do green first, since I originally made it for me :D
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
Adding to first post. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] StrifeSoldierVII:
Yes, oddly enough the stock 1.3 app does rotate on the tablet while browsing, but it does not rotate while watching a video like your rotation apps do.

Green sounds good to me, boss. Just give me a little bit and I'll have the screenshots of this version for you soon. :) Also... thanks for adding my post to your first post.

EDIT: I have attached my new screenshots for the 1.3-B app you have provided me with.

What I noticed right away:

In landscape and portrait views: before the movie screen: The circle animation seems to be way out of position.

Do you need me to take screenshots of anything else? Like the menus and such? Maybe you will be able to put together a Honeycomb friendly HD app in the long run?
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
Got it, now I know what to do. I didn't want to release these yet, because I knew something would be wrong. :D

Menus would be good, but I cannot change those. :(

Edit: What did you think about the logo?
[Android Apps and Games] StrifeSoldierVII:
Darn, I was hoping I could help you make a Honeycomb friendly version by changing the menus and such. ;)

The only real issue were a few misalignments, nothing major, which is always a good thing. I personally like the logo, looks good so far!

If you need anything else, please let me know. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Liquidsky00:
Same thing with that build.

I select a movie and get a loading screen for about a minute. But then it returns to the Netfix home screen.
[Android Apps and Games] dasudevil:
Thank you for your hard work. I was able to get one of the devices i own but not the MAIN one (a500)

Tried all links and .apk's on a NON ROOTED 3.1 and nothing... I continue to get the ""Sorry we could not reach the Dblfstr service. Please try again later yadda yadda yadda (12001).

There are reports that some still on 3.0.1 are able to play using the blue. I look forward to an possible update to the Acer A500 being supported.

Thank you,

[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
Yes, the Stock V1.3 and all the V1.3 mods here will work on previous ROM versions of the TRANSFORMER, I do not know about the Iconia. I do know that the

transformer patch works for the Iconia

, but you need to have root access to do this. It is easy to root your Iconia BTW. If that is something you are into.

All the V1.3 mods are the same, except for color. So if blue works, then so does red, green, etc.

Edit: Your sig should read: "New to the tablet scene:" :D
[Android Apps and Games] kpjimmy:
Ok, I have read the majority of this thread and have yet to get a clear answer. I know that some have success in running the 1.3 on honeycomb tablets. Also read somewhere that the Viewsonic Gtab can run netflix as well.

But what I do not know is which one. I just tried the transformer fix/patch over your 1.3 apk and seemed to work fine until I forwarded a flick a few minutes forward and after that the audio had a hard time keeping up with the video. Should I try the 1.2.2 apk?
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
Which device do you have again?
[Android Apps and Games] kpjimmy:
Sorry lol...its a Viewsonic Gtab running GtabComb 3.3 on BL 1.2 (Honeycomb)
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
Ok.

I have reports from users that the GTab works with and without the patch.

Did you try without the patch? It should work fine. This was a Honeycomb Gtab.

It is also working with the patch, but I do not know what ROM.

Many users have issues with the audio being out of sync with the video. This is probably caused by the same thing that happens on computers, processor overload, or caused by poor/weak signal.

I do not recall the V1.2.2 working on the Gtab, It is worth a shot to test, it cannot hurt anything. (there is an update disabled version you should try)

Test V1.2.2 with and without the patch, test V1.3 with and without the patch. V1.3 works, you just may need to be patient, and or back out of the app and restart the movie from where you left off.

Please report back with your findings.

P.S. my mods only add rotation and are strictly aesthetic. I make no claims of attempting to do anything with video quality. The stock app and my mods will run exactly the same and provide the same result.
[Android Apps and Games] kpjimmy:
I am going to first try updating the kernel on the GtabComb and then trying the app with the 1.3 apk and patch which is already installed. This is because the ver 3.3 had wifi issues and when you mentioned the weak signal factor, I figured I'd start there and work my way to the 1.2.2 with and without the patch. I'll report back later tonight after work. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] kpjimmy:
Reporting back that I cleared all data, uninstalled the netflix app entirely, downloaded a stock one and just installed that. Tried to play that to see if the audio was ok and it was. So I am sticking to stock for now lol. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:

Netflix not working on new acer a500 HC 3.1

Hi,

I just got the A500 from Costco. Certainly nice upgrade from the ViewSonic, especially there's a special going on now, @$350.

Still love my rooted gtabs, which seem to run faster than ViewSonic. Most importantly, Netflix works great!

A500 has other good things that are better, especially the screen and weight. However, I am disappointed I can't make Netflix to work. I tried both "[APP][Updated 7/20/11 V1.3] Official NetFlix", and this "[APP] [Netflix V1.3] Netflix Rotation Enabled Apps w/ Colored Loading Screens", nothing works. For "[APP] [Netflix V1.3] Netflix Rotation Enabled Apps w/ Colored Loading Screens", I got the following error message:

"Sorry we could not reach the Dblfstr service. Please try again later. If the problems persists please visit the Dblfstr website (12001)".

Should I root my new A500 (automatically OTA upgraded to Android 3.1), to make Netflix work? Or should I wait to get Acer Android 3.2 which is coming up 8/25? Do you think 3.2 will have Netflix for A500?

A500 seems to work smooth and fast enough that I am thinking not to root it. But Netflix would require it to be rooted, and there are benefits with rooting, certainly I will try to root it. Are there good benefits with rooting A500? I rooted my Viewsonic gtabs and flashed them with Gingerbread and HC, and the benefits were immense over the stock ROM 2.2. But so far, I am not convinced if I should root my A500, given its current working state.

Thanks much in advance for your feedbacks/tips.
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
Simple answer. Root your device. There is a patch for the A500 that fixes the Netflix issue. Link in first (one of the) first post. (transformer patch)- there is also a thunderbolt patch that works also. May want to try it first; to see if there are any adverse effects.

There are many A500 ROMs that are much better than stock. No, I cannot tell you which one, I do not have an A500. And yes, I changed the word "Netflix" in the error string to "Dblfstr". Someone was re-uploading my apps and claiming them as their own. I busted him LOL.
[Android Apps and Games] StrifeSoldierVII:
Hey man how's your Netflix app coming for the tablets? I'm working on putting together a massive all-in-one Xoom guide, and it recently got turned into a sticky in the Xoom General section. You can find it on my sig.

But, to the point: I would like to show off your latest Netflix app for tablets on my thread for everyone to see. How's that sound? This thread will be linked on my all-in-one massive stickied thread so that more people will be able to find it. That's more traffic for you, especially Xoom traffic for your tablet app! If you need anything from me to help with the production of the app please let me know. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
Yes, I have been working on other stuff lately so I have not had a chance to update the Netflix apps. It is a relatively easy fix, but I just have not been able to get around to it.

Currently I am working on some boot animations, and I am thinking of an app (program) that will take a boot animation and turn it into a Live Wallpaper. Also just got my first android dev book and I am learning about building apps instead of just tweaking them. A whole lot going on, but I WILL get the Netflix update out SOON.

I would be honored for you to include my Netflix apps in your thread though. :D

Thanks.

I will see if I can get them out this weekend.

Add CCaptions/Subtitles for the Deaf

Now that the Netflix app works REALLY well on most Android devices (thanks devs!!)....

can someone develop a Netflix app that will add in the Closed Captions/Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing?

this is currently NOT available on Netflix's Android app but *is* available on their apps for iPhone, Wii, PS3, 3DS, Boxee, and GoogleTV.

Only about 30% of their catalog has Subtitles/Captions added.
[Android Apps and Games] StrifeSoldierVII:
Ah sweet, that's awesome news! There's no hurry to get the Netflix app updated. I still have a ton of work myself to do with my own massive thread as well. But, I would also like to have your boot animation as well on my thread, it looked pretty awesome. My Xoom thread consists of pretty much everything you can think of, boot animations included. When you become more pro at app development, and produce an app... hit me up on that as well. I will put up any app that you might develop in the future on my thread for all to see. Just my way of being a nice guy. It's always good to know someone with a stickied thread because it's always going to be at the top of the thread list all the time. That can ultimately lead up to some heavy user traffic for both parties. ;)

Dblfstr,

I am unable to use your app on my Acer Iconia without the library patch that causes FC on the camera.

I do have a working version from dexter that does not use the library patch. But unfortunately it does not rotate.

Can you point me in the general direction of which xmls need modifying?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
where is this Dexter version?

I will post all of the xml code for anyone to change.

Edit: I think I found it. I do not think the Netflix is modified. His patch changes your build.prop. After applying his patch, try the rotation app again. There should be no difference.

Please correct me if this is incorrect. And link to the Dexter file.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] mehtuus:
?!?...:eek:

This is the first time that I have noticed this being mentioned. I had Dblfstr's Netflix app installed on my rooted Acer Iconia but it still would not stream. I had exhausted what I knew how to do as far as hacking this app on my tablet. So I would check it everyday to see if Netflix would allow my tablet to stream. Then one day, out of the blue, the app started streaming on my tablet. I almost fell out of my chair when this happened. I have no clue as to what happened to allow this change. I just chalked it up to Netflix allowing my tablet to stream. It worked perfectly every time and I was stoked.

Everything performed great for several weeks - including the camera/video camera. But suddenly, just last week, the camera app started freaking out. It was looking grainy all over and it also had slightly different colored vertical grainy streaks all across the "view finder" part of the screen. I had returned a previous tablet that did this straight out of the box. This time however, there was also the added issue of the camera force closing whenever I would switch (from within the app) from camera to video camera, or from video camera to camera. Using the icons, I could open the app into camera or into video camera, but could not switch between the two from within the application without a force close. The tablet seemed to function taking pictures, however whenever I attempted to record video the app would immediately force close.

Two days later I returned that tablet as well. Now I have another AIT (Acer Iconia Tablet) and I am back were I was before; rooted and a Netflix app that doesn't stream...

Do you have a link to info about this "library patch" that causes the camera to FC? Currently my camera/video camera app is working perfectly... ...(knocking on wood...)
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
Link is in the first post (Transformer patch)

The camera app should not have any issues until AFTER the patch is applied. The patch replaces a system library file, this enables Netflix to work, but breaks the camera app (some, not all of the camera capabilities)

The Dexter patch replaces your build.prop with a modified one to make Netflix think it is a different device. This was one of the first ways to make Netflix work, Dexter has just made it into a flashable zip. After this patch, everything should still work as normal.

Again, you should not have any problems with the camera if you have not flashed any patches, but Netflix will not work without it.
[Android Apps and Games] snickle:
Here is the link to dexters patched version of netflix:

[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] mehtuus:
Thanks for the info. I went back and read the first post again, and I can understand why I missed it before. I know that accessing the system folder requires root, but does replacing the "libnvomx.so" file require rebooting before it will properly function? It would be nice to have a little on/off widget that would switch between the two files based on when you needed them.
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
I thought about doing that, but you must reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] mehtuus:
Ok, that's kinda what I was thinking. What are the possibilities of getting a small app that will switch between the two and then automatically reboot the system? Just run the app again to revert and reboot again. Otherwise, it seems that to change the files back and forth each time would require drilling down to the folder, renaming each one, and then rebooting. I honestly don't know how difficult it would be to code an app such as this, but it sure would make it more efficient.

Good to see there's a tablet specific update in the works. I wanted to ask, is anyone having trouble getting the search to work in the app? I tried the rotation enabled one and the stock 1.3, both in portrait and landscape mode and only very rarely can I get the keyboard to pop up when pressing the search entry box in the search screen.

Just me?
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
Common problem work tablets. Touch location does not line up properly with the layout. Can you zoom in? I heard that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] rlarsen462:
Don't think so, that whole search screen is just plain unresponsive it seems like. Every once in awhile if I switch apps back and forth I can get it to recognize the search box and pop up the keyboard, but I haven't found any pattern to make it happen. :(
[Android Apps and Games] devildog69:
What version of Android do you have? I have 3.1 and tried this with no luck. I get a message saying "Sorry we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. If the problem persists please visit the Netflix website (12001).

Has anyone else had this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
I believe that Netflix does not work after the 3.1 update.
[Android Apps and Games] FloridaPhil:
Great app - works well on my Tmo HTC Sensation.

A quick question: the resolution is fine on my phone screen but when I push the stream through my MHL adapter, even the Netflix HD streams are heavily pixelated.

Is the Netflix phone app stream different than than say the Roku stream? My Roku HD picture is great on my plasma, the phone stream through the MHL adapter is not.

I know the MHL adapter is not the issue because the Battle Los Angeles trailer that comes pre-loaded on the Sensation plays back perfectly on my TV.

Maybe I'm just expecting too much from Netflix?

[Android Apps and Games] knoxbrder:
How can you (I) do this to other apps? I love the way this modified Netflix app works on my Transformer. But I want to do the same thing for the Dish Network app.
