Saw this hasn't been posted yet in the Evo forums and wanted to post it.
It is the Netflix apk from the LG Revolution system dump.
The app loads fine and I can log in to Netflix fine, and see movie categories, etc.
Run into problems when I click on a movie to stream: I get some sort of 1005 Error saying it cant connect to Netflix servers.
I am hoping the Devs can work some magic and get this working on our Evos!
UPDATE:
I also attached the DRM Odex and APK file I found inside the system dump.
I am in the process of putting up the system dump zip via Rapidshare at the moment!
Would appreciate the thanks button!
UPDATE 2: LG Revolution System Dump http://rapidshare.com/files/452738666/LG_Revolution_SystemDump.zip
I run into similar problems. Pretty cool to know it is close to being in our devices.
Interesting!!!
Where did you get the dump? There's may be some DRM files in their thats needed to work. The blockbuster app is setup that way.
Downloading the system dump now. Will be uploading as soon as I get it.
Cool......
May take a while uploading though, since I dont have a premium rapidshare account, etc and the zip size is about 442mb.

Eww.....
Okay, I uploaded the entire dump to Rapidshare and provided the link in the O.P.
I hope the Devs can work some magic with this and get this app to work...
Also I assume this is the right form to post? I wanted to post on the Development forum for more attention, but I hope this catches the eyes of the Devs!

now the thing is have the DRM where do we need to put it to get it to work? any ideas if show please share them
I tried replacing the LG Revolution DRM apk with the DRM apk originally in the Evo, but no dice. Changed permissions and all, but its not working....
Figured start with the most simple solution, but nope didnt work
i was trying to move them around to but we also need to get into the apk and find the code for each phone's type of processor that isnt snapdragon so it will function with hummingbirg and qualcomm ect if we can do that then we are in business

how will this get us in business? we would still need to be able to contract the DRMs with the device as well as with the original APK itself? theres more to it then just that, but technically any device with a qualcom snapdragon processor should be just fine, thats who netflix is working with and as seen at wmc and the such netflix was running just fine. so we definitely need to figure this out!
GO DEVS GO!!!!!
EVO is not properly DRM compliant...
http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/android_owners_netflix_has_good_news_and_bad_news.php
One will need to crack the apk to think that the device is compliant.
really hope they are able to get this to work with the EVO.

how about netflix just get their crap together and give android some love? they can figure out how to make billions but cant figure out how to stream their own service on android?
I mean, yeah, go devs. but its kind of sad that we have to wait for outside devs to figure this out for a billion dollar corporation.

Probably because it's supposed to launch with that device, likely an exclusivity deal. Netflix probably doesn't have their service hooked up for android yet, because it's not supposed to be available.

I got eclair running on my phone from the eclair merge into master from about a day ago. There was a problem with the telephony provider though and camera doesn't work. When I get telephony working I'll release it, maybe later tonight. (But without the camera, it just can't be done until HTC releases a 2.0).
I have been following the scene for the PS3 modding for Homebrew and saw that psfreedom is getting ported to many Android devices. Here is no mention yet of it working on Incredible. Anyone think they have the skill set to port this for us?
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=Device_compatibility_list
Once done on the evo it should work on the incredible. Or try loading up cm6 and using the nexus one or desire methods.
Great idea, I will try this and post my results.
It's been posted on the site that the incredible is in progress

They just added it to the list because its the same chipset, no one is working on a incredible port atm. They are working on the EVO right now..
I'm sure it'll come to us eventually.

Does anyone know if there is someone specifically working on the Incredible or EVO port? I heard there was someone working on the EVO, but i cant find where or who. I would like to pitch in some effort to help transition it to the Incredible.

doesn't matter. Sony updated the firmware (v3.42) to block all USB based backup tools.
New ps3 firmware update has reportedly closed the exploit we are wishing to use.

Looks like the latest firmware blocks this. The arms race between the hackers and sony is on!

I don't ever use PSN, so I'll stay at 3.41 for the time being. Think of it like the xbox jtag. Don't want to discourage anyone from porting just yet, it would still be a very useful port.
If you use a proxy app called Logan5's tool you can still go online with 3.41. It won't work forever though, they found a way to block it when the killed OtherOS support too
It DOES matter, just because Sony is releasing an update doesn't mean i have to update to that. I have turned off system updates and you can use proxy tricks to still sign on to PSN with 3.41.
I would assume anyone following this scene has read that it is built for 3.41 and has turned off updates....
Also the newly updated psgroove payload can retrieve practically any portion of the PS3 kernel, allowing us to find other exploits to take advantage of. Which means just a tiny update to the vulnerability exploit could still work on newer system versions.
Whoops double post.

Just Adding to the mix
Hey guys i was searching other forums to get a bypass method for us who want to stay at 3.41 until we have other methodologies for jailbreaking and preserving the PS3.
here's a link to the OP at the other forum:
h* *p://psx-scene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65511
can't hotlink yet still new user so just replace the stars with "tt"
basically he's just giving two forms of bypass for being able to sign in and get in to the PSN to play online and shop.
Hope this helps someone.
Looking forware to more Droid Inc ROMs as well as PS3

A version of the official Netflix app has been leaked. See here:

and link to dl app:
http://lts.cr/TY5
Apparently streaming doesn't work on most (all?) devices. I was hoping someone here could fix that
EDIT 3/16/11
I've uploaded some lib files that may or may not help (in lib.zip) extracted from the LG Optimus 2x. It would be ideal if we could have system/lib dump from the Revolution but I couldn't find it. There are a number of DRM, "OMX", and video/audio codec related libs in here. Perhaps someone is willing to put these in their lib, set permissions, and try netflix again?
More info on OMX here? http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/OMX_Android

Same thing here. Any way to work around it?
There is probably some sort of DRM service baked into the ROM that this hooks into. The question is whether said service can work independently from the LG framework and whether it requires actual hardware support.
I hope someone can get it working.
Would love to get Netflix on my Galaxy Tab!
Both the MSM8655 and MSM8255 chipsets have the DRM hardware (the only difference between them being that the 8655 has CDMA suppport and the 8255 doesn't.) This means that people with the mytouch 4g and other phones with the same chipset should be able to eventually get it working. Anyone else may have a much harder time. I'm not sure if any of Qualcomm's other chipsets have the same DRM support. And then there's Samsung...
i wonder if the g2 has te same chipset. i read that its the same sec-gen snapdragon but i know for sure the g2 is underclocked.
The G2 is MSM 7230.
ah. so its a no go for me
same here on cappy
I've managed to get a different reaction from the app than most people seem to. When I try to stream a video I get the same error everyone else does, but when I try to resume a video I was streaming previously on my xbox and then paused I get no error.
The video still doesn't stream, it hangs indefinitely on the loading page, but it is at least a different reaction, and may be enough for some one more tech savvy than me to go on in terms of figuring out where to go on fixing this app. I've tested this on both my Galaxy Tab and my myTouch 4G.

The dump doesn't have a lib folder... I was looking forward to looking through the codecs. I'll take a look later to see if they moved them elsewhere. The hardware decoding is controlled by the OMX files, isn't it?
There is a lib folder in the apk.

Hulu Plus for Android
Hopefully, we will see the Thunderbolt added to the compatibility list... or maybe a Dev will take a look at it.
+1, I have a HULU subscription and not a Netflix. I have been waiting for this and of course the T-Bolt is not supported but My X that i sold. "sigh"...Please HULU or devs....make this work, i will be forever greatful.
Has anybody tried to download the apk and install it on the Thunderbolt? Is it the same error we originally had with Netflix? (Unsupported device)

I did install it and that is basically the error that I received.
Could someone explain in terms if hulu and netflix, what makes one device compatible and another not. I mean the tbolt should be better in every aspect than the droid x (hence my upgrade) yet it works on that device. Someone mentioned that it works on the HTC inspire. How is that different than the tbolt?
Just hack flash and run it in the browser, works just fine there

The app checks the phone model and refuses to run if it isn't on the built in whitelist. I am sure there will be a patched .apk with the device check removed soon.

That sucks even more. I thought there was some real technical hardware or software reason but thats just plain model discrimination.
Wonder how HULU decides on this wish list
Thats what I dont understand... Isnt the HTC thunderbolt and HTC Inspire have the same specs besides the Network bands... Why release for the Inspire and not the thunderbolt??
how do you guys have netflix? is it from GB?
Hulu Plus appears to be available for Froyo phones, good for many of us (Inspire and Atrix I know are both on Froyo)
One would think someone will hack it just like Netflix. Who knows how these companies are deciding what devices to support but it's frustrating!
There has been a hulu hack out for a while now. I have been running hulu since the hack like 2 months ago. If you are rooted you can use hulu

Smh getting so sick of android man
You could probably edit the build.prop so that your phone identifies itself as one of the supported phones to get it to work. I don't have a hulu plus account and frankly i don't care enough to test

After reading through someone's logcat while running hulu plus, it only seems not to work because it's sniffing your phone type. Just need to edit the app to not detect it or as mentioned already, change your build properties. I dont have hulu+ so can't really find the solution easily myself.

Coming from wp7, android fragmentation can definitely be frustrating. Seeing other devices run something you can't is just part of android I guess. Not to mention that some games won't ever come to the bolt either.

So I want to be able to get motocast for tablets on my Xoom. However, the market shows that it is "incompatible."
I have gone through the system dump for the Xyboard10.1 and do not see motocast in there so I am guessing that this means you can only get it from the market. Thus, I am asking, if you own a xyboard, would you mind going to the market, grabbing the app, backing it up and sharing the apk file?
Thanks in advance to anyone who decides to help. I think this would be a welcome addition to Xoom owners out here. I'm sure there is a way we could modify the build.prop file on the Xoom to spoof the market but thats a bit out of my league.

Not sure if that's all you need though, but that's the proper APK for it... Hopefully you don't need other Blur services...

What happens when you do try to run it? There's another APK I can link that is related to it but it's also directly related to Blur so I'm not sure it'll do any good...
The file names actually have nothing to do with Motocast, which is stupid...
It tries to install but ends and says not installed or failed to install.
I've also tried dropping it in system/app and changing permissions/ownership to no avail. Also tried titanium backup restores but it hangs and i have to force close TB.
There are lost of apps that motocast app depending like motocast id. Will not that simple to port it over other tablets... It will require serious jop from a developer to port it and will not that easy.
Could I also make a request to xyboard owners as I didn't want to make a new thread over this; are you able to post your droid boot animation as the Xoom 2 boot animation is just boring compared to the xyboard. Thanks
Make that a third request for Xyboard build.prop, though for a different reason.
I have an Archos G9 80 and I want to masquerade as a Motorola Xyboard in the app store. Even though the Archos G9 uses the same OMAP soc and Honeycomb OS, albeit a different screen res. The Archos is just enough of a "boutique" device that a lot of apps will just say they're incompatible.
Much appreciated!
