Can you please post up the .apk file it would be much apreciated. I have a desire hd and this app has been removed since updting to gingerbread. Im on sense 2.1 so fingers crossed it should install.
Here's a signed flashable zip containing SearchAnywhere.apk and SearchAnywhereWidget.apk.
But it's not working!
First I tried to just install the apk. They won't install.
Then I created this zip file and flashed it. But the apk files did not transfer to \system\app
Probably somebody else has an idea how to go forward.
Well, here's another try. This time it really flashes the apk files to /system/app.
It also appears in the app drawer. But it does not run propperly. Always force closed.
still not working.
Has anyone had any luck with this. It won't install for me.

I found this on the http://techland.time.com/
So i dont take credit for this so i posted the whole page please in joy.
Unless you own one of the five phones that support Netflix's new Android app, Thursday's announcement was worthless.
But thanks to some clever folks on Reddit, Netflix's petty device restrictions needn't apply. With a rooted Android smartphone, you can trick Netflix into thinking your device is approved for streaming video. It's not a perfect fix -- some users can't get it to work -- but it'll do until Netflix officially brings its app to more Android phones.
The first thing you'll want to do is root your phone. You can look up instructions for specific devices at xda-developers, but keep in mind that rooting is not supported by warranty and could turn the phone into a paperweight.
Still with us? Now, follow the instructions, as posted on Reddit:
1) Download ES File Explorer (Or any other root file editor)
2) In ES File Explorer, go into Setting > Root Settings and enable both check boxes
3) Navigate to /system/ and copy/paste build.prop to /sdcard/ (just in case)
4) Open & edit /system/build.prop
5) Change the following lines to make your phone think it is an HTC G2:
--ro.product.model=HTC Vision
--ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
OR
--ro.product.model=Nexus S
--ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
6) Reboot the phone
7) Install the netflix apk (if you haven't already)
Enjoy
I haven't tried this myself, as my only Android device is a Droid Incredible, which doesn't require extra hoop-jumping. Obviously, you work around Netflix's obstacles at your own risk, but the ability to tinker is one of the reasons you got an Android phone in the first place, right?

Interesting, I've tried searching for the netflix app but couldn't find it on glacier. The author seemed to think you could download it first then do the process. Have you used this method and tried to find the app after changing the build.prop?

The download link for the app is in blue in step 7 of the link.
There are a couple threads already in our themes and apps section...but I'm on Virtuous Fusion and I've tried the HTC Vision build.prop method a few times and it hasn't worked for me...
Edit: Before and after changing the build.prop stuff I would get audio with a white screen

I'm on Royal Panache and was able to get sound but no picture with the HTC Vision model.

Ditto, exact same situation, exact same rom, sound but only white screen. Just confirming its not just your phone.

I edited the build.prop and used the Nexus S, Samsung build (reboot), but on mine I only get a black screen, audio is working for about 5 to 8 seconds, then it goes back to the movie list.. no FC message... I was thinking maybe this is because I'm using a custom kernel + custom ROM? Are you guys using the stock kernel?... I also have a HTC G2 (supposedly supported), but on that phone I only get an audio and white screen...
W000T redditors to the rescue!!
i was using the royal ginger. Also evil-d just update his rom to work for it.
I just download evil d ROM and it works but use this .apk http://db.tt/vvGJdDU

Were u using royal Ginger 2.0 or 1.6?
MT4G + CM7 + Faux's BFS LV kernel
2.0 but the official app won't work. You have to us the mod app I posted above.
Can the netflix.apk be modded itself?
inside the apk, there's a folder called "lib" and inside lib, there's a folder called "armeabi"
which lists
libnetflix_device1.so
libnetflix_device2.so
libnetflix_device3.so
libnetflix_device4.so
libnetflix_device5.so
libnetflixmp_jni.so
can a device6.so be added to the apk to add the mytouch?
or maybe one of the given, be edited?
noob
i can't get es file explorer to view my phone. It seea my sd card, but when i hit up folder, it says press again to exit. it won't show my phone files. i gave root permissions any ideas?

How soon do you think it will be before Skype with Video gets ported over to the EVO? The Nexus S guys already got it...
I want this too...

I think its as easy as tricking the system into beliving we have a nexus s just as it was for others when the netflix released for only certain htc devices.
If we could just get the nexus s build.prop and change our device name to what theres is i think it would work. anyone have a friend with a rooted nexus s and rootexplorer installed to check it out and post the device name ???

I'm no expert but I do not think it is that easy. If it was it would have been done back when the one for the thunderbolt came out. There is already a thread for it HERE (not Evo specific). If you look at the last page or 2 it is referencing the one that was just released.
Looks like someone confirmed this works on the evo. I did try making a call myself but the other person didn't answer so I cannot confirm it works 100% but it appeared to work fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148708&
This is working on my EVO. Someone posted a patched APK. I think in the Nexus S forums. Anyhow, works on EVO Shift, S, S2 etc.
I never made an actual video chat but the window loaded up and video was showing via the front cam.
Try it out...
I tried this but the other person couldnt see my video. I could see ny video on my screen but when they enabled their video, mine went black and they couldn't see me.

Can someone please upload the apk? I can't download that rar from my zoom. Thanks.
I can comfirm this patched apk works with video !! I have been waiting for this a long time !!
in the android market, download a file manager and then extract it to a folder on your android phone... and then the apk will show up and hen install it.
sorry this is a reply to qpstatus
skype2_0_45.rar worked for me. One thing though is that until I updated my Mac client to the dreaded 5.1 (user interface fail) from 2.8, video was not working -- when the call started, the video button on the Mac side would actually get grayed out. 5.1 works just fine. Makes me wonder what version is required on the Windows side to be compatible with the Android client.

That doesn't help. The issue is that when I try to download attachments via XDA from my stock browser on my Xoom or Evo it won't download successfully. The download gets to 100% and says unsuccessful.
For some strange reason it does let me down .apk's successfully.
Force close on Evo 4G.. "The application Skype (process com.skype.raider) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Boo :/
*edit, I just read that video chat only works on 2.3(?).. sorry, but I'm not changing ROMS just to use Skype*
Having issues with video calling - my front camera is not picking up any video. Tried lowering the quality and connecting 4G,Wif,3G all with no success - it's just a black screen on my end - and the spinning circle on the far end.
Anyone have any suggestions?
empty zip?
I seem to be haveing the same problem as gqstatus0685. The zip seems to be empty cannot extract anything from it... running latest stock odexed sense rom likely user error will keep working on it. let me know if anyone has any solutions..
Here's a link to the direct .apk -- just download and install.
http://rootmydroid.evoboxes.net/pulser/VillainROM/SGS2/skype_2_0_0_45-signed.apk
I can confirm this works 100% on my EVO running Kings 7.3 ROM. I have tried from EVO to EVO and EVO to PC.
How do I install this after downloading...sorry I've never installed a patched apk before. Please explain. Thanks.

Just navigate to the file with Astro or File Manager and click on it. Make sure you have "Allow install from unknown sources" checked (Settings >> Applications >>). Should install after a double click.

I wonder if Cyanogen is causing my error?
EDIT: Flashed King's 7.3 - works great... Gonna try a few other ROMs to see what happens. At the moment Cyanogenmod's 7 - "update-cm-7.0.3.1-Supersonic" does not allow my video to go through. Will update with further testing.
EDIT: I realize that I messed up the title. I meant to write if we could replace the current HTC messaging app with the vanilla one.
Title says it all. I've gotten used to HTC's way of things but I'd really, really prefer the vanilla experience. Since we don't have S-OFF or custom AOSP roms yet, can we at least replace the MMS.apk on our Sensations with the vanilla one?
Bump. Does anyone have a clue? It's apparently been done on, for example, the G2. I'd really rather have stock messaging app.

No one??? Maybe I should repost this in Themes & Apps.
No u can't cause it won't stick cause u can't write to system anyway

Thanks for the answer. I guess this is another reason to anticipate S-OFF!
Right.....
Or how about you just install it with a file manager. Then disable the notifications from htc messagin app

I followed these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11050253&postcount=2 and used the Mms.apk provided there, which should be the 2.3 vanilla messaging app.
Everything went fine when copying over to the phone, etc., but when trying to actually open the app on my phone it force closes from the start. It does show the vanilla mms.apk icon though, the green text bubble with the smiley. If I could get this to stop force closing and actually open/work, I'd be happy!
I'll get you a link to one.

It's not gonna work. U can't "install" it. U have to put it in system
Yeah you have to copy it to your system apps with a file explorer...

If you have Root Explorer or any other explorer, then try to copy and paste it to /system/app/ and reboot the phone. Hope that helps.

Won't work ppl. We don't have perm yet. I don't think it would work even then if I remember correctly
It should work as we have temp root which last till the reboot. And if not then you cant just use adb to either install or push. There should be ways around this. :/

Might need Sense framework. Try pushing to system/app just in case. There is a price to using a non-Sense ROM, even for the Sense haters (and I am one). I'm stuck just to keep the Sense Camera app...
The problem is that it is a sense ROM lol

If you can't get it to work, Energy ROM has movie editor in it.
If anything pull the app from Energy ROM, put it in the place it in the trickdroid zip system/app and flash it again.
Push there, then click to install from root explorer sometimes works for me

Hi,
can someone post link to download HTC move Editor apk.
Thx
After pushing the apk in /system/app, you may try restarting your phone. That's what i'm always doing after i push an apk there. Works everytime.
