Netflix App for Eris?? - Droid Eris Themes and Apps

Now that this is out...will this be able to work for the Eris, or no cause we have arm6?

I got it to load and start streaming but no sound or audio and the time stayed the same. Restarts after a bit. Hadn't tried changing the build.prop yet though. No pc around. Some folks say it works on original Droid though.

Netflix on the Eris
Here's an interesting one. I tried to download the apk to my Coby 7015 tablet. It immediately downloaded the apk to my Eris. Go figure.
Installed fine and loads up. When I start a video, I get a dark screen with the "pause - fast forward" control bar at the bottom then it goes back to the netflix home screen. No audio. No video.
Logcat shows: D/TAG ( 3163): Not Android 3.x+ with drm.play.

I'm in the same boat on Gingerbread. Black screen with controls and then it eventually resets to home screen.

I downloaded the apk off of google, it installed fine and it brings everything up, but when i try to play something all i get is a message saying "the netflix service is not available on your device. please check netflix.com/netflixreadydevices for info regarding support for your device"

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13731077#post13731077
That's the APK.
Buildprop info here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13732556&postcount=163
I'd say just wait for a full hack.

I just edited the build.prop using this http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/ha5oh/root_how_to_edit_your_buildprop_to_make_netflix/
so far, the app runs, and it looks as if its going to start streaming, but i just get a black screen with the pause botton. Idk if wifi will work ill try it when I get some, its on 3g now.

but do u think for the eris it will come and still have the support being as its an old model?

The Eris will never have official support from Netflix. Basically, there's a set of DRM libs baked into the officially supported phones. These hacks are attempting to trick the app into thinking the phone is a supported phone with supported DRM libs. However, it's not working on the Eris even with the build.prop mods. I'd like to see a logcat of the problem, but I really believe it has to do with the DRM libs not being satisfied and possibly crashing media libs like most older devices.
I'm waiting for somebody to just package a fake build.prop and DRM spoof into a modified Netflix app. I'm sure it can be done, I just don't know what the Netflix servers check the app for. MD5 and DRM version?

I can't even get the apk to install. I've downloaded it, but I get no option to install it from astro or from the downloads menu on the browser. How do you install this damn thing? I even downloaded app installer, but it doesn't seem to recognize it as a valid apk.

Works fine for me. The only thing is that the app itself is massive compared to all the other ones I have. Due to the fact that it sucks down a lot of memory and power, I think I'll be fine with the Netflix app on my iPod/iPad/Xbox/laptop/whathaveyou

Seconded. I've tried 2 different ways both editing and not editing the build.prop
no dice on either, just the "black screen with pause button" tease, on both WIFI and 3G. Also tried on 2 other Eris' (erisii?? lol) with same results, one running XTRsense, and 2 running GSB 3.3
so what ROM are you on, what did you do specifically to enable streaming vid?

I third that. On gsb 3.3 and my dice are also missing. Netflix is the only reason why I would ever get rid of my eris

CM7 doesn't work with youtube. I'm not sure what your intentions are, but you can't play videos until the problem with the dsp/audio code gets worked out. Fortunately, it seems they have the problem narrowed down, so when The Great One returns from spring break, he has said he plans to hit the ground running.

Delete the Youtube.apk from /system/app then just install YouTube from Market.
Also make sure you have Flash Player 10.2 from Market.
If you use the lastest version of CM7, YouTube works, but at only 15fps..
Hopefully, this will be fixed soon...

Our definitions of "working perfectly" are very different.
Also, it's my understanding that the Youtube app does not use flash. It streams an Mp4 or something for efficiency and hardware accel. The YoutubeXL app is really just a browser pointed at youtube's XL site and it uses flash (software accel)

Maybe they are and maybe not...what I am trying to say is that my youtube works perfectly...in HD...just as well as it does on my phone...I'm trying to figure out WHY. If it is truly working the way it's supposed to, I wanted to share what I had going. I know that the apk doesn't use flv....(My flash works fine, too, so maybe I accidentally did something right there, as well.) Does anyone know how to measure fps in the youtube.apk setting? Thanks.

Can't install YouTube or Google Apps CM7 SD Nook Color
When I go to the market, it displays these apps but there is no INSTALL or DOWNLoad button. It's missing from the app page. I have tried going to the developers page and the same thing happens. It's as if it doesn't recognize the NOOK Color when CM7 is running. Latest CM7 version was installed less than a week ago. NetFlix works however. Any ideas? Thanks.

Okay, this was very helpful and works with brand new installs and presumable updates as well. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'm glad I can now see the Install buttons on many more applications.
The only problem I have now is that many of the videos on YouTube give me the following error when I try to load them:
"There was a problem while playing... Touch to retry." Retrying doesn't help. The same videos load and play properly using my big Windows 7 computer. Has anyone seen this error and has a suggestion for a fix?
Thanks again.

[Q] HBO go

Okay I just loaded HBO go onto my G tablet with the VeGan rom 5.1.1. While the app runs when I try to sign on the app fails with a force close. Anyone using VeGan or any other ROM including stock having similar issues? If this app is as good as it is on my iPad (no flames, no snide remarks) then this will be a great app for the tablet community.

Works great on my Evo but not my Gtab with 5.1.1. I'm getting the same thing as you.

From the Website on your desktop or on the Website from your gTablet? If so, what browser? Opera reports unsupported. Haven't tried any of the others.
Doesn't work with my cable company either.
If I remember correctly, you need Android 2.3 or higher, not 2.2
Got it to work with Dolphin HD after I disabled the AdFree app I had running and checking "enable plug-ins" to always on. Full screen seems to be necessary as well to see the bottom of the page.
Just checked the normal android browser - works too with "Default Zoom" set to "far" to be able to see the whole page.

I have it working on BC 1.20. You need to download "!IMEIMe(b10)(5).zip" from this link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103766". Put your ROM of choice into the same folder as the "!IMEIMe(b10)(3).exe" (from the unzipped file). Run it and answer yes when asked if you want to modify a ROM (some wording to that affect). Supply a "pass word/code", I used my G-tab serial number (you might want to read the topic for a LOT! of discussion on unique IMEI generation. It injects an IMEI into the ROM, based on the number you supply and renames the ROM adding "IMEI" to its name. You end up with two ROMs original and renamed ROM. Take the Renamed ROM and change its name to the standard "update.zip" and re-flash!. Both HBO GO and the Xfinity apps now work on my G-Tab.
Thanks for this rmac. I am playing around with this. So far with CM7 build 86 i got HBO to work, but it would not show any video. Might have been an HD video, which might not work on GB. I tried Caulkin and Vegan 5.1, but was getting FCs on both with HBO. Will play around more when i get home and will probably try BC 1.2.
Update: I have installed BC 1.2 and have hbogo working, however the picture is not great. It does full screen, but is not very clear. Anyone else have a better experience?

Yes hbogo has poor pic quality for me also. It would be a good app if pic quality was better, maybe a future update will address this issue?
According to the help built in the app, it supports HD. Definately a bug if that's the case- seems like it's defaulting to the lowest quality available.
hbo cinimax go
Hob go and cinemax go both work on tablets with skyfire web browser
HBO GO app has been updated in the Android market -- it now works fine on the GTab (at least it does on mine, running Froyo Clemsyn+Calkulin version).

NETFLIX DISABLES DEVICE CHECK!!!! - [HowTo] Get Netflix working on Nook Color

NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Netflix has Disabled Device Check and you can now Install straight from Market without any Hacks.
I tested and it works on my Nook Color CM7 7.0.3
For people that still have issues though, I'll leave up the HowTo.
Since people aren't looking through the Netflix App thread for the HowTos that I and other people are posting here is my HowTo.
HowTo guide for those that don't understand what build.prop is.
Android 2.3 ROMs(CM7 Stable, Phiremod, ect...)
ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
CM7 nightlys + Android 2.2 ROMs(Stock, Froyo, ect...)
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
Just make sure you backup your build.prop file before editing just in case you need to switch back.(Copy it somewhere and rename it build.prop.bak)
For Newbs:
-Remount /system as RW using Root Explorer (Open Folder then press button at the Top)
-Backup the /system/build.prop to /system/build.prop.bak (In Root Explorer just Copy it and Paste in the same place)
-Edit the file /system/build.prop with a text editor (Hold down in Root Explorer for Popup then tap "Open in Text Editor" )
-Replace each line with it's above replacements
-Make sure there are no extra spaces at the ends of lines as that can cause problems
-Save the file
-Hard Reboot
TaDa! Netflix Works!

Cool beans. Question, though: Can I download a movie from Netflix so I can watch it offline? Like on a plane? I know from my TV there is an option, basically, to start watching a movie, stop watching, and you then have 24 or 48 hours, or something, to finish watching it. And then I guess it self destructs, or something.
If you can't do this, I wonder why anyone would give a crap about watching a movie on their WiFi-only Color Nook. Most people have a TV or at least a laptop with a bigger screen...
Worked like a charm! Thanks
Desperate to find out if you NetFlix will actually stream the file to your CN and then you can watch it whenever you want, or, perhaps there's a time limit. My guess is not, but it works like that when streaming to my Blue Ray player at home. If it can;t do this, I really don't see much value in having this service. Big deal. I can watch a movie on a small screen with my 46" TV in the next room, or my 15" inch laptop 2 feet away. I want it for plane rides, where I won't have internet access.
Awesome- now to see if netflix works on Galaxy tab and use its info to hopefully get HQ
Not working for me.
Have CM7.0.0 with Android 2.3.3. So I tried the "Nexus S" and "samsung" thing first. Hard rebooted. Installed the APK. Tells me the device is not supported.
So I tried the "HTC Vision" and "HTC" ones next. Rebooted, cleared the data, removed and reinstalled the app. Still getting the same error.
Confirmed the build.prop file changes are saving properly. Not sure what went wrong for me.

Running CM Nightly 72 and Dalingrin's OC running at 1.1 (hope I spelled the name right)
anybody having this problem?
Also it seemed to break YouTube when I had those settings in the build.prop file.
After I restored my backup build.prop file youtube worked fine again.
I got the beta 3.1 CM7 to run it with the Nexus S mod... well it sorta runs. It plays at super fast mode and doesnt slow down and doesnt realize its going fast forward sounds like alvin and the chipmonks

So close...Netflix on Vegan-Tab 5.1.1

Through a lot of searching, trial and error, I finally got Netflix working on my Droid original version. I installed the netflix apk with device checking disabled (you can find it on this forum) and then made just 2 changes to my build.prop file. I set ro.product.model=Droid
and
ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola.
Success!!! So, wondering if I could do the same on my Gtab with Vegan-Tab. Installed the apk, changed the build.prop file and gave it a go.
Almost Success!!! The streaming actually works. I have tried all the other methods and never got the movie to stream. With this one it does.....problem is that it is running way to fast. The audio sounds like it must be 10 times faster than normal.
Another step.....sooner or later I'll find the secret.
If you used the version of the Neflix apk with the device check disabled you shouldn't have had to modify your build prop at all.
I installed it on my Droid X and it ran beautifully without any mods at all.
The device check only gets you as far as allowing the Netflix app to actually load completely. There is further wizardry involved to actually get streaming to occur. I can attest to the fact that I have tried at least 8 modifications of the build.prop file, with the only one allowing streaming to occur being the one that matches my Droid. Honest to goodness and cross my heart.
With disregard for the Netflix apk entirely, does Netflix allow streaming of their media directly from their website? Another words can you simply login to your web based account & access the media there?
I've never used Netflix & have no plans to join, but I figured if I could get the web version of Crackle to work when the Crackle.apk didn't then the same might hold true for Netflix. Of course it doesn't resolve the current problem but at the very least allows one to enjoy streaming until the issue is fixed.

Thought about changing ro.board.platform= from tegra to whatever it is for the Droid. Do you know what is listed in the build.prop? Anyway thought it might be worth a try.
Im seeing the sped up video and sound as well here. Using the pre-packaged netflix apk on CM7 nightly 85.
maybe it's just me but when I went into the market today it said that there were updates available for netflix. I downloaded them and now when I run netflix it takes me to the "login" page instead of saying this device is not compatible.

They released an official update in the Market that doesn't do the device check. I don't know if that means it's wide open now for all android devices or not though for folks that have a Netflix account.

I saw that too and I got all excited. I do have an acct and could get to it. I can see my que but I can not still stream from there. It goes to the red loading screen but then dumps back out to the que. I have tried it several times. Still no. Close.. it seems.

Yep, same behavior for me after editing the build prop, running on Vegan 7 RC1, including after the market posted update to the apk.

Finally got a movie to stream using your settings. Thanks! Same result though, sound is way too fast. After reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-954843.html
Thought about changing ro.board.platform= from tegra to whatever it is for the Droid. Do you know what is listed in the build.prop? Anyway thought it might be worth a try.

My netflix running on CM7 about 2 days ago was working and now its not apparently because there is a new Netflix Update on the market.
Is there a reason why I can't search the Official Netflix App on the market using my GTAB? My build.prop is already modified to Nexus S. Maybe someone can post the Netflix APK since it is probably detecting my device as not supported.
Same here, using the new app, starts loading, flashes briefly, then back to the queue. Just installed flash 10.3 ,still no go.

Droid-life had a link to the app. I grabbed the one off my phone I grabbed from the market. It didn't work on CM7.02 but I updated to CM7.03 and it works fine. No build.prop edits or anything needed.

[Edit][Fix for issues with GPS and other apps] HD2 Netflix Master Hack.

First of all, read everything! Second, click the link to see a picture of what the build.prop should look like. And lastly, I am not responsible for you being lazy and inpatient.
First of all, I take no credit for it, I just want to move it here for other users who might have not seen it. All credit goes to Sprintusa.
This even makes the quality of Netflix even better! Just follow the link to the post which was posted inside a thread of the Android Apps forum. I used it and it worked great!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13952218&postcount=722
EDIT: I will re-do all my steps and check if this still functions. I will post results here.
EDIT 2: Okay, so here's something strange, before I even went back to the original build.prop settings I uninstalled Netflix from my apps. Then went into the Market and downloaded the Netflix app from there and it worked fine for me. As I'm writing this South Park (Dances with Smurfs) is streaming perfectly.
EDIT 3: I re-did everything except for use the APK listed in the link. I didn't use any APK. After I edited the original build.prop settings I saved and rebooted. Went into Market and installed Netflix from there. I can say that this works on my HD2 running latest Hyperdroid CM7. The only issue would be that the Stock Navigation app disappears. And some issues with a few apps.
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO TYPE IN "machimachi" INSTEAD OF "mahimahi"
FINAL EDIT:Okay so I figured out how to get Netflix working and all other apps that seemed to have issues to remain fine. It's rather a simple task but I will write out everything step by step in this post.
STEP ONE: Edit build.prop settings to;
ro.product.model=Nexus One
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.name=passion
ro.product.device=passion
ro.product.board=machimachi
ro.product.manufacture=HTC
After you do so, tap the menu button and select Save & Exit, it should also save a backup copy of the original build.prop. Make sure it does because it's needed for later! Afterwards reboot phone.
STEP 2: This is an easy step, after phone reboots, go to the Market and Netflix should be there, download it. Now sign in and make sure you watch something, please do this so it can register on the Netflix site that you're on a Nexus One. After you do so, exit Netflix.
STEP 3:Now go back to your build.prop file, hold on it and select "delete."
Make sure you do NOT delete the one that says "build.prop.bak."
Okay, all you have to do now is hold onto the file build.prop.bak and rename if to "build.prop"
The icon should change back to the original build.prop icon. Now reboot phone!
And Whaaaa-Laaaaa! Netflix working as well as all other apps that were affected by the Master hack.
Worked fine for me, my TyphooN build wouldn't show it in the market.
Used ES Explorer to edit the build.prop file (enable writable root in settings).

Enhances stream quality and allows the Netflix App to be seen in the app market.

So do I just download and use the .APK you linked to, or do I also have to do the stuff explained in the link? So basically, do I do both, or just the .APK? thanks
;( I don't have a netflix account. Sadest story ever.

just downloaded it, it doesnt work. as soon as you boot it says there is a new version that you must install before you can use the program. after clicking ok it searches the market (?) and it says it's unavailable. rederening this version useless. manual search on the market doesnt make it show up either. i'm using gbx v12 if that makes a difference.

This hack does work but be aware of odd issues noted afterward.
I edited my build prop file exactly as shown in the post and installed the posted apk, and although the attached screenshot shows "mahimahi" not "machimachi" as the post itself shows I used machimachi. But on my hd2 when I shut off and restarted the phone I found these settings immediately breaks the GPS and makes my stock navigation (blue arrow) icon and its associated app. Inoperable. So I reverted back to my original build prop settings, saved, rebooted. Then downloaded the uppdated Netflix app (will add link to this post when I find it again), and Netflix, GPS, Navigation icon and it's app works normally again.
Edit: found link to working apk.

Yeah, I'm guessing this only worked before the update. I'm running Hyperdroid CM7 and it's still working fine. As for the GPS issues I haven't noticed any issues. And I also did use machimachi.

Yes you have to do what's explained in the link. I used root explorer. And make sure you type "machimachi" instead of "mahimahi".

Great post and even better with your excellent instructions. Its this kind of quick working together to find solutions that makes XDA the best board community out there.

I would now guess I should have just added these lines to the build.prop? And not just delete what is inside and leave it the only thing. Well that bricked my phone, now I guess I have to do a install of E19 again and start from scratch, unless someone knows how to restore the backup? My phone won't boot now..
Well adding them didn't work.. (I also managed to unbrick my phone)

WOW! I mean the link is there for a reason. It can't even go into Magldr or Clockwork?

OK, I read the link too. I got the phone back running, so I tried again, but this time on my backup Mes. It appeared in my market, but when I sign in it just closes.

When you first sign in are you still on the edited Build.prop? Make sure when you download Netflix and sign in that you're still on the edited build.prop and not the original one.
Yes, I haven't restored it yet.. Very frustrating, I downloaded and app that now won't let me logon, says wrong password. I might just give up on this Netflix thing soon, my free trial will run out soon.

Free trial? Lol I don't think you can stream to phones with a free trial. If you do upgrade to an actual membership, try again.
