[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewjrr:
i cant get into recovery, but i can get into download (using the button combos). not sure if that means anything either
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hebertovich:
Well keep trying, and you might want to try the odin 1 click. I have a Cappy that got dipped in the pool, it would not go into recovery at all but I could get the download all the time, But it kept getting stuck at the i896 screen or the AT&T screen (odin 1 click) after 3 weeks of trying and having to wait 3 days for it to come out of it's coma it now works fine. If you try the odin 1 click it might work for you just make sure it's not ver 10.10 I think (look under battery). What screen does it go to once you press power IE: black screen rogers screen etc. ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewjrr:
ive tried using odin 1 click.. like i said, the first time odin actually picked up the device, but it wouldnt get past the "do not turn target off" prompt. but i tried plugging it in again, and now it doesnt seem to even pickup the phone. when i when i try to boot the phone, its just a black screen. thanks for the input though

Patch is from this Asus Transformer thread:

[Acer Iconia A500] bossfan2000:
I'll confirm it seemed to work for me. I bought my Iconia yesterday and updated it to the lastest OS version. Then rooted. I downloaded the new Netflix 1.3 app last night, but got the same error everyone else is reporting. This morning, I downloaded the zip file mentioned above, unzipped the file on my PC, copied just the .so file to a microSD card, put the card in my Iconia, then transferred the file to /System/lib using Root Explorer (backed up a copy of the original file, of course). Then I loaded Netflix and video seemed to work just fine. I wasn't able to test it much since i am at work..the video quality looked good after a few seconds. Didn't verify that the sound and video were in sync. Will do that when I get home tonight.

I wonder if the Hulu hack for the Transformer would work, too? I think its just an older version of the Flash apk (or something like that).
[Acer Iconia A500] babyboy8100:
i flashed it as well, video and audio is synced on mine :-) enjoying it right now.

1.3 APK here:

http://www.multiupload.com/3A8C4GWL8R
[Acer Iconia A500] darkgoth678:
THANK YOU!!

Installed the patch with the old app from the market (before it was taken down) and I had no luck. I didn't even get the 12001 error anymore, this time I just straight up got "Device not compatible"

Installed 1.3 app and boom, good to go. Netflix on Iconia Comfirmed :]

*Also* Like other's have said, yeah it starts off in a crappy quality but about a 30 secs to a min into your movie it scales up
[Acer Iconia A500] specd_out:
I can also confirm it worked on mine. Virtuous Picasso 1.10. You have to install the app from the download link provided. I just flashed the zip for the patch via CW and thats it. Audio sync is perfect.
[Acer Iconia A500] gamualexander:
confirmed working, sync'd audio!

Excellent work!
[Acer Iconia A500] entropyiv:
Confirmed on stock ROM yet?

Looked through the post and didn't see it.
[Acer Iconia A500] jm77:
Virtuous Xoom users - Netflix will work, but your Camera apps will FC.

-- This is probably due to libnvomx.so being pulled from HC3.1 Xoom. We'll need to track down a copy of libnvomx.so from HC3.2 Xoom to confirm.
[Acer Iconia A500] acorsino:

Camera crash.

Im running the latest version of picasso and after the patch netflix works great but if i do anything with the camera it force closes. Any thoughts?
[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
Same here. I'm not sure how everyone else installed the patched file, but since I have not installed Clockwork Mod, I did the following:

Extracted the ZIP and dumped the file on my device at /sdcard/

Logged in a local console using Connectbot (in the market)

Ran "su" (requires root)

Remounted the /system partition as RW: mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system

Renamed the old library: mv /system/lib/libnvomx.so /system/lib/libnvomx.so.bak

Copied the new file from my SDCARD: cp /sdcard/libnvomx.so /system/lib/

Reboot
[Acer Iconia A500] krickatthedisco:
i have it working without a patch, i just installed it by sending the apk from my thunderbolt, and its the netflix right out of the market. no camera fc's here :) i think the new update made all tablets work

EDIT: im running virtuous xoom 1.1.2 just to clarify
[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
So you aren't running a factory ROM. And no, the Netflix update didn't make it work with all tablets out of the box.

From the press release I gather that Lenovo worked some deal with Netflix to ensure theirs were the only tablets it worked with. It wouldn't surprise me if Netflix was specifically looking for certain file versions to ensure it works, and intentionally breaking it if not. From the Lenovo press release:

And I have no FC's from my camera after the patch install, so unsure what hungsohlo's issue is.

Working on Non-Rooted

First, just got the Acer and it did the update when I powered it on. I have Andr 3.1 w A500_A4.010.11_COM_GEN2.

I've read mixed results whether the app needs the patch or not.

I have not rooted the device. I get the error when running the netflix app.

So I guess I need to root the device.

Apply the patch.

I'm concerned over the camera FC issue.

Any other altenatives ?
[Acer Iconia A500] threedfreek:
I have renamed the original .so file (or whatever the file name is) to libvomx.so.original and copied the patched one in the system/lib folder... when I want to browse the web, take pictures, or music... I rename the current libvomx .so file to libvomx .so.netflix and rename the libvomx.so.original to libvomx.so and then reboot...

I know bit of an inconvenience!
[Acer Iconia A500] wilderckw:
I keep getting error cannot reach Netflix service wtf it worked yesterday. Any help please.
[Acer Iconia A500] allintrest:
I don't know if this is relevant but any one having problems with the Netflix patch please make sure you match permissions.

I am on the first rooted 3.1 and have no issues with the Netflix app. This has made my iconia complete
[Acer Iconia A500] wilderckw:
What do u mean matchbpermissions
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
You need to change the permissions of the new file to match the permissions of the old file.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
lost netflix apk

Can someone post a new like or upload the Netflix.API

pleaseeeeeee
[Acer Iconia A500] VitaZora:
I can also confirm that the patch works on rooted stock 3.1. Camera works as well - no FC there.
[Acer Iconia A500] mayerr2:
Netflix is working on stock 3.1. However, the camera doesn't FC but when I try to switch it to video camera it does FC on me every time. Everything else seems to be working besides that.

Also, for others that are having issues after confirming permissions are correct on file and everything else, try a reboot. That did the trick for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] acericoniagirl:
help needed w steps

Hi, I'm so new to rooting, but want to watch Netflix as its one of the reasons I got a tab...when he bb sales it would work..grr.

So, I dont mind rooting my tab, but wonderring if someone could help through the steps personally. I don't have a laptop/desktop so I would have to use the local library and do it all from there. If someone could help me, it would mean a great deal to me. Just message me so we can chat about it.

Too bad there isn't one of these for hulu...lol.

Dolphin has been well to me so far too..
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
you can do this from your tablet . and its Quite easy and relatively safe ..

You have to have 4 things .

download and install. iconia root for honeycomb can be found in the dev area

Download and install root explorer

Download the netflix apk and the fix file from the tread above .uninstall old verson if you have it.. install the new netflix app DO NOT RUN IT ..yet

unzip the patch . the .so file..

with root explorer move that file ..to .. system/lib.. rename the old one first .

make sure you set root explorer at the top to r/w at the top to past and rename the file..

this is as best i can do to help you Sorry not good with giving instructions...

hope this helps

if im wrong sorry.. but worked for me
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
+1 you pretty much nailed it. This assumes she is running 3.1 - if she just got the tab she might still be on 3.01.

Vital to rename the old file first - myself and others are having a force close when using the rear facing camera in camcorder mode after appling this patch, so you want to keep a copy of the original file around, can always copy it bac, reboot, use your camcorder, and then copy the hacked file back the next time you need netflix support. It's a little ugly, but it works.
[Acer Iconia A500] rivera82falcon:
Permissions update fixed mine. Thank you!
[Acer Iconia A500] mayerr2:
I have also noticed after this patch I cannot play any .avi movies. I revert everything back and I can. Anyone else notice this?
[Acer Iconia A500] mr.npk:
I tried patch on my rooted stock 3.1 with correct permission, the Netflix worked, the camcorder was fc.

I read comments posted on androidpoloce.com Netflix 1.3 works on iconia a500 with stock 3.0 and 3.01, it stops working after iconia is updated to 3.1. Can someone please give me libnvomx.so from iconia a500 stock 3.0 or 3.01? It's a long shot, it may solve all the fc and other issues caused by xoom patch.
[Acer Iconia A500] wilderckw:

Camera works.

Camcorder force closes.

.mp4's work. Haven't tried other vid formats.

Stock 3.1. Rooted.

4.010.10 Gen2

For those asking about file permissions, get Root Explorer.... and make sure your tab is rooted.
[Acer Iconia A500] allintrest:
wilderckw,

If you are rooted (and you must be) when you use file explorer, the menu button will give you a menu of options, (guys help me if I miss something as my tab isnt in front of me) you want to open file options (I think) then Permissions, and change the file permissions to the exact same as the old file you renamed,

good luck and hopefully some one can help if I missed anything, when I matched my file permissions everthing works camera, camcorder, and I havent seen any problems with any video codec yet.

Camcorder rear camera fc yep me too,
[Acer Iconia A500] thislight87:
Both cam and camcorder work for me, but only when ran seperately, as in you cant switch from camer to camcorder in camera app, otherwise fc, but you can open the app drawer and open camcorder
[Acer Iconia A500] Dblfstr:
logcat

For those of you with camera FC or other issues. Please post a logcat of the error, and your ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] mr.npk:
what is the logcat? Are you talking about error code 12001? That's what I get. I'm on rooted stock 3.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dblfstr:
No there is patch for your error. But it might break the camera app.
[Acer Iconia A500] bvbazel:
how do you uninstall the old netflix patch without flashing the rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
You replace the .so file you modified when applying the patch depending on how you applied the patch - if you used root explorer or adb to replace the file - you just restore your backup, if you used cwm to flash the .zip file at boot time - i *think* the patch copies the old file to a backup file in the same directory - you just need to replace that original file, rebbot, and you are unpatched.
[Acer Iconia A500] bvbazel:
thanks, worked
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Glad to be of some help.
[Acer Iconia A500] iliketoys:
I'm on rooted 3.1, installed the Netflix 1.3 apk (but never had a previous install) and I get the error code as well. Am I missing a step?
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Yup - you are missing the step where you replace a .so file in the system to force it to work. You will need to make a backup of the original file before doing this. The process is detailed in this thread at least a few others.
[Acer Iconia A500] iliketoys:
Thanks entropy, its working now. I just didnt dig into the Asus thread to get that .so file.

As a recap in case anyone else misses that step:

- Get the Netflix 1.3 APK here or use attached APK:

http://www.multiupload.com/3A8C4GWL8R

- Rename and replace the existing .so file with the one attached.

- Be sure to check permissions on the replaced file and you may need a reboot.

For those who have this working with no fc's, did you actually flash the zip or did you manually take the .so file out and place it in the desired location?

Either way does the exact same thing.

Confirms working 100%, heres what I did

This works GREAT..

I downloaded the two files from the thread to my home computer.. Put the two files into my dropbox.

loaded up my dropbox on my tablet and downloaded the files.

I don't have any recoveries installed, just rooted 3.1

I uninstalled old version of netflix I had been messing around with.

Power off/power back on.

Ran root explorer,, browsed to system/lib made it R/O from R/W and renamed the file we are replacing to .old

copied the new file from the zip file (after extracting) to my system/lib directory, then remounted it as R/W

downloaded the new netflix .apk and installed it..

power off/power back.

log in and it works great!!

I wasn't sure if anybody else did this, and I did not read through 6 pages, but I just wanted to say it works great and thanks to the OP for posting this.

Okay cool, just seems some people have problems with camera FC's and others don't. Didn't know if it was related to any particular method people were doing.
[Acer Iconia A500] shogunmark:
i can take a pic with the front and back camera, i can record with the front cam, but if i close the camcorder app and try to take a video with the rear cam then i get FC. but i dont record any video, i also dont plan on taking any pictures with my tablet. But i can watch netflix!
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Same here - front and back can work for taking still pictures, front camera in video record mode works (tested with talk) , rear camera in video record mode causes a fc.

I do like to use my camera quite often, mostly for still shots or video chat. But if I need full rear camcorder mode, I just quickly copy the original lib file back, reboot, and swap it again next time I want to enjoy netflix. Quite painless - I should write a program to do it automatically :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] tu3218:
Got it working!! I can deal without recording videos.

I was always leary about doing CWM. Im a wimp after all.

Did an emergency Cyanogenmod install on a buddies Desire on tuesday so I know what to expect.

Well I am very happy that I have Netflix on the Tab.

he seems to have made this for his netflix released? i tested it with the netflix3.apk used here, and the build.prop patch works. although tablet says xoom now. I got primee 9-5a here with recording working, used it for some days now. most reliable versions, as netflix also worked on dextersgalaxy edition, but audio headset problem and unstable. but primee is good.

using this build prob patch on a 3.1 release will not work, it is only for a 3.2 release.
[Acer Iconia A500] groaner:
using the old patcher, does it change your version to read 3.2?

I see notices that 3.2 is being pushed out to Europe now but on my Iconia A500 in Canada it already reads that it is on 3.2.

I'm confused.

[Acer Iconia A500] bitterevp:
i installed the zip and it appears to be working great. same issue with recording video, which i dont forsee as much of a problem. i saved a copy of libnvoxm.so i think it was. so if i simply replace this file with the original then everythingnis back to the way it started? when i flash a new rom i will i will have to do this again wont i?

if anyone still needs the .so file original let me know and ill try to upload it. i havent tried that before, so when it asks what kind of file im trying to upload what do i need to tell it? huge thanks for this patch
[Acer Iconia A500] originalone:
with version 1.4, you can actually get around the library patch, and just change the build.prop adding these lines to the bottom of the file.

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

and it works great. no camera issue at all.
