Netflix App?

Is there a chance we can port the Netflix App released for the iphone today?
I am sure that they'll release it for Android, but it would be nice in the meantime.

I don't think it would be possible to port it without first having the netflix app's source code. Plus on top of that they are two totally different operating systems with different video / audio / graphics frameworks. It would probably be easier to just write one from scratch.
Your best bet at the moment would to be just to wait until netflix releases it or to see if the blockbuster app has been ported from the droid x. While the blockbuster app sucks because you would have to pay for each movie instead of having a netflix subscription I think its the only app right now that does streaming movies I hope netflix gets its act together soon!

No chance of porting it... Netflix has been actively hiring android developers, recently looking for "android video playback experts" the official app will come sooner or later.

Netflix Android app got released... but its not for the Aria yet :/

I downloaded and installed the apk on my Aria running Gene Poole's most recent Liberated ROM. It installs fine and I can add to and modify my queue, but playback doesn't seem to work. It says 'Loading...' for about 5 seconds then goes back to the apps main screen.
I've attached the apk for anyone who wants to test it.
A bit of a warning though, installed the app is ~22MB. Considering our phones have ~130MB user storage that is quite a big chunk. Luckily it supports a2sd, which shrinks it down to about 16MB

installe the app, UI is slow but playback is fine! FINALLY! yes it works on the Aria, this little phone never ceases to amaze me.

Worked for me too!

Same here.

If you're running cm 7.0.0 or above, you can edit the build.prop to make it think our aria is a G2 or Nexus S. I tried it and everything works great.

Did you try before editing it?

I didn't have to edit anything, just installed on my CM7 Aria and off it went, watched an episode of Arrested Development without any issues. Only downside is AT&T data-limits!

Have they yet released Netflix for a Tegra2 device? That will probably be when we can expect a port.

Didn't yhink about that. Good call

saw people were having luck with spoofing the i.d. of their device to a compatible device to trick netflix into working.
It installed fine and brings up my instant queue and such, just won't play them. Gives me a "your device is not currently supported".
Haven't had time to install the custom ROM and delve into those things yet, maybe next week I will.

I tried with all the values mentioned in that thread. Still no dice and changing all these to "vision" will FC Swype. even after changing build.prop back.

Swype back after cache and dalvik wiped. I'm noticing most with unofficial devices are having luck w/ cyanogen roms.

I have the LG G2X phone which is a tegra 2 and netflix is working for me just fine.
I made only two changes to the build.prop. but it only ran when I had CM 7 installed. Not when I had stock froyo. I just tried with the streak 7 and it looks like it starts to play but then exits.. It's also not working on the asus transformer with the build.prop

weird that it works on an asop rom.

Stupid question, Cause I have a G1 and a HD2 which can run android. Think either of these would be able to be used to test if this works? Or would it be pointless.

Im running Netflix now on my HTC Aria running FR008 Rom. bet it works on yours too!

The hd2 can run netflix fine as long as you use the nexus one based builds. I run it without a problem. The Hd2 has been able to run netflix using windows phone 7 since windows phone 7 was able to be ran on it.

Thanks, Upgraded from Superram to the Nexus GB rom, Got it on my HD2 now. =)
Now just to wait on Dell.... sending my streak 7 in to get rid of this random menu/keyboard poping up issue Ive been having. Then hopefully things work 100% stable.

What are you guys using for a prop editor and where can I get it?
I have prop editor on my G2 but I cant seem to find it anywhere.

n64oid was available on the market for a short time and removed by the author for a few months while it undergoes improvements. It should be back soon, but it's not currently available.

where/how are you guys getting ROMS for this and the playstation emulator?
i used to use what I believe was called Rom Finder (premium) but I believe it was removed from the market. and even upon side loading the SDK it tells me that I need the newest version to download ROMS. any suggestions for using this or a new source? I would prefer a direct app on the xoom to do this although i havent been able to find another one.

You just can search it on Google, and for the ROMS, in any web of ROMS and Emulator, just watch the end of the file "Example.N64". If there's no problem for some mods or something i can upalod the apk.
See ya!

I have this emulator and i use it with my xbox 360 controller. It works pretty good but i cant get it to recognize the l2 and r2 buttons. Other than tha is great.

are the analog sticks actually input in analog---that is to say, when you tilt the stick just a little, does your character walk slowly or whatever the case would be?

Mentions of pirated app stores removed. Lets keep talk of this off XDA, k?

I purchased the N64oid and had a backup on Titanium. I restored it and the app works fine but I can't open any of my game zips. To my knowledge N64oid doesn't need a BIOS right? I downloaded my ROMS from coolrom but they don't open. Any ideas. I'm dying for Mario Kart 64.

Make sure they are zip and not rar....but on a different note:
No one worry because sooner or N64oid will come back to the Market the dev is really trust worthy and responds to emails quickly.

They are .zip. This happens with the 3 different ROMs I have.

You are right no BIOS needed. I have Honeycomb 3.1 with the latest Tiamat Xoom 1.4.2 and it runs great. I had purchased this app before it was in the market. I had to reinstall N64oid when I updated to 3.1 since all my applications were cleared.
Since you purchased this legitly on the android market you shouldn't have to worry. Remove the Titanium Backup version. Go to the Android Market and your purchased apps and install from there. Even though its removed from market since you purchased it you should still have access to download it like I do. Hopefully it will start working for you then!

i'm more concerned about gensoid being taken down than n64oid coming back up. that emu definitely needed a few updates that we probably wont get.

It just automatically does. Can anyone else confirm this? Did you originally purchase on the Xoom or another device? Another way to tell is if you look at the web version of the marketplace it should be on your purchased list.

Unfortunately no. It thinks its the d pad so when you push the stick, its in all the way. Also you cant program the dpad and analog sticks differently.

How to run flash or html 5 on lumia 925

Hi guys .. just got this phone it quite nice ..
anyone knows how to run it ?
thnx

HTML5 works fine. Flash doesn't work any better than it does on iOS or Android (since the Android Flash version was discontinued years ago).
Some particular site you're trying to use? YouTube, for example, works fine if you use HTML5.

The version of Flash available for Android is very outdated and should not be used anymore; it's missing a bunch of security patches, among other things. If you have it installed, you should probably remove it.
On Windows Phone, I get the same speed running the SpeedTest app and using SpeedTest.Net on my laptop tethered through the phone. Sounds more like a problem with the Android app than anything else...

Gaming frustrations

Just a little aggravated with the tablet. Excellent screen but new games like KOTOR and Witcher battle arena are not compatible with it. What gives?

I just tried witcher battle arena and it installed and crashed at start. I think its just some ironing out they need to do. If it says It isnt compatable. Im not sure what it is. Just contact the developer and give them a log if you're rooted or just report it.
Kotor says its $5.80 Here. Does not say its not compatible. Not too sure.
Another thing you could try if you're rooted is switch to a lower resolution. Maybe it doesn't support the full resolution

the thing is, I'm currently running stock rooted. Just irks me that my Note 3 picks up everything, but my TF701 doesn't. You'd think almost everything could run blazing on a tegra 4. And I know how to sideload. I just feel irritated that I have to considering Tegrazone advertises these titles.

Ya I know what you mean. The real problem is developers have to support thousands of devices now, all with different versions and configurations.

I just tested witchers battle arena on the nexus 7 with lp just to see and that is a no go either. Doesn't matter to me anymore anyway. A game has to be pretty good for me to even look. For gaming if anything I just use steam Linux.

When the Google Play Store says an app is "not compatible" with your device, it doesn't necessarily mean your device is incapable of running it. I think it is more likely that our TF701T is not on a whitelist of devices tested and approved by the developer. The fact that the TF701T did not sell well, and hence is less likely to be used to test an app by developers, is going to be a problem for games. Also, some apps are region restricted; I remember I couldn't install any paid apps from Mainland China, even though I could install the same apps while in Hong Kong.
Nonetheless, I think sideloading a game is no big deal. I installed KOTOR on my TF701T and it works great (though I'd still prefer a controller or mouse and keyboard).

Don't know if this will help. But what I've done sometimes, is see if I can download the game for my phone. And even pay for it if needed. Then, using an APK extractor app, I get the apk as a file. Connecting to my computer, I can shift the apk to my tablet, maybe through Dropbox. Then, I install the game to my TF701T.
This doesn't always work, naturally. And it depends on whether your phone is on the whitelist for the game. But at least, this is a workaround.
Good Luck.

It's called "Apk Extractor", version 3.0 by Meher Prasad.

I am pretty sure any root explore will allow you to copy the apk from /data/app/*yourappnamehere* to your sd card and then do what ever you want with it...
