Netflix on Android Released

Looks like Netflix has been released on a few phones. Not sure if anything can be done with it to work on the G Tab (if it actually does require certain hardware to work), but can someone with the knowhow try changing their build.prop to one of the supported phones to see if it will stream?

Just installed on my Dinc, streaming works! I would really love to get this on my GTab.

I'm attempting to install it on my my HC gtab now.
EDIT: no go on honeycomb alpha 2.1

Maybe I'm being a dumb-dumb, but where would one find the APK for Netflix? And are there any modifications needed get it running on the Gtab, or maybe my Vibrant?

No go on ginger rc1

No go on Vegan Tab 5.1.1, shows up in the Market but will not download.

Wont run on Caulkins ROM...message says that my device is not supported, and to check with Netflix for supported devices :-(

I'm a little surprised that intelligent folks think that a hotly-desired app like Netflix which is dropped on the Market with support for very limited devices could just be installed and run on any other device by just getting hold of the .apk. I get the feeling it's going to be more than a build.prop entry, too - there's going to have to be some specific hardware spec.

No go on CM7 nightly #70, also tried it after installing Flash 10.3. Same result.

I'm on Vegan 5.1.1 and I got it to download and I was able to log in. Nothing can be streamed but its installed and running. I had to go through the online market to download it. It worked on the first try which is better than my Incredible which took 3 tries. I never found the app in the market on my gTab but this is probably because I never have been able to get the market working properly, even after doing the market fix a thousand times.

I changed the settings below in build.prop per wgarrido's advice. After rebooting, when I click on a movie to play it goes to the red splash screen and says loading and then it shows the progress bar and play/pause button but then after a second it backs out to the main screen. That is farther than I was able to get before.
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.brand=tmobile
ro.product.name=vision
ro.product.device=vision
ro.product.board=vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

Were you trying to trick it into thinking it was a G2? I remember something about it needing snapdragon processors to work and none of the listed devices are similar in architecture at all. I expect many difficulties in porting this, that said I like my incredible a little more.

I almost wonder if it's a resolution issue, more than anything else. Installed from the market on both my GTab (supposedly not supported) and N1. Works wonderfully on my N1, Gtab, same as everyone else, installed, browses titles, will not play anything.

Working on CM7.0.3
My G-Tablet is running CM 7.0.3 with Pershoot's 2.6.32.39 CM7 Kernel
I sideloaded the Netflix App then moved it to the SD card.
I am running the 10.3 update of Adobe Flash Player (not sure if this is relevant)
I modified 2 lines in my /system/build.prop file as follows
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
Reboot

Netflix is running smoothly on my G Tablet now.
This is from a combination of workarounds I found on other forum posts for different devices listed on XDA.
I hope this helps!

How does it affect your Market?

ardy, that method doesn't work for me with VEGAn 5.1.1 and 10.2 I still have SlingPlayer though.

Can anyone of you guys share the apk ?

CM7 and HP touchpad

Ok so I followed theses steps on you tube for dual booting CM7 and Webos and seems to be installed ok but when it reboots it goes straight into Webos and doesnt bring up the boot screen so you can pick whether u want Webos or CM7 has anyone else tried this with success and if so what could I be doing wrong? here's a copy of the YouTube video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHoQM3KW1sU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Sounds like you didn't install moboot
Here is the main page for CM7 there is a lot of troubleshooting steps here, you should probably just do it over using the instructions here, they were flawless.
Rootzwiki

Yep, I've put CM7 on mine and my G/F's TP...no issues.
Put three zips in a folder (CM7, Moboot and Clockwork Recovery)
Boot into USB mode, run the nova command.
It's simple as pie...I think you just missed that file/folder for moboot as said.

I just installed the Alpha2 version of CM7, using the youtube "idiots guide to CM7 install" or something like that. Had to search around for the zip files needed but it works almost flawlessly. By that I mean, it's responsive, looks like android, sort of, and doesn't seem to crash much. I know I have alot to learn about this exact "flavor" of Android, but it should be fun. And my webos is still intact.
here is the youtube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHoQM3KW1sU&feature=feedwll&list=WL

OK, I've had a couple of days with this now, the only complaint/problem is the wifi connection doesn't seem to be as stable as the HP Webos side. I don't know what might be the specific issue, or what the cure might be, but reconnecting seems easy enough. The keyboard w/assist is awesome.
Adobe flash player says it is incompatible with this platform, any way to fix that?
I have downloaded and installed about 20 normal apps, including some live wallpapers, and they all work well. I am impressed with CM7 as an alternative to Webos
Thank You Cyanogenmod team.

You guys should try the Xron-ified Mod of the CM7 Alpha 3.

Has anyone tried the Chrome Beta apk with MeDroid?

I installed a Chrome Beta apk I got from some of the other forums here at XDA, but I seem to be getting FCs every time I launch the app, was wondering if anyone got it working or if anyone has found a fix for this issue.

It requires hw acceleration. Won't work for us yet until we get that achieved.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium

That makes sense, I did manage to download an apk that does not FC every time, but I can't really says it's usable.
Here's hoping the CM9 team or some other dev manages to make it work someday.

I got it directly from the market and it loads but all pages are blank.

I can't download it from the market since I don't live in the US, but I get the same results as you, it loads but all pages are blank, and I can see the synced results on the omnibox but no page returns.

I have it installed. No FC's, but it doesn't work. As stated, it needs hardware acceleration. It went through the entire setup, sign in, and import of all normal information. But when you try to load anything, you stare at a blank screen.

have u try texasice' ROM, igoogle chrome beta work great with ICS AOSP

For anyone wanting latest Chrome beta without modifying build.prop, go here:

[Q] Xfinity Play Working on any GB - CM7 builds?

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has gotten the Comcast Xfinity Play app working on any ofthe gingerbread CM7 roms. I haven't had any luck yet. It's running well on my rooted Nook Tablet and my Samsung Galaxy S4g (don't remember which rom it's running). It's also working on all of the ICS builds that I've tried. I would really like to get this running on GB!
EDIT - Well I had the day off and I played around with various builds. There does NOT to seem to be a CM7 rom that is capable of using this app. The funny thing is it doesn't ask for root access through SU the way it's suppose to so there is no way to choose deny. I even whent through SU and chose deny as the default preference and still no go. The app does however play flawlessly in every single ICS build that I've tried. There is more content on Netflix so I'm going to stick with gingerbread but it would be cool to see the app eventually work.
I wanted to edit this instead of deleting in case anyone else has the same question!

[Q] cannot watch Netflix on cm_tf101-b2

I installed cm_tf101-b2, kernel and gapps. I downloaded Netflix app and logged in with no problem. But when I touched to watch the video, netflix was loading forever or shutdowned. Is there any fix for this?
Thank you.

Uninstall/reinstall netflix and try a reboot? It should work. I'm running the exact same rom as you and just finished watching a few episodes of 'How it's Made' less than an hour ago. The wifi strength can be a little low on this rom so you might want to check to see if Netflix runs while you're closer to your router?
On reading your post again, it looks like you installed the KAT kernel too? I didn't do that. I don't know if that will make a difference though.

Hopefully you have Titanium Backup? If so then restore a previous version. The latest version of Netflix isn't working properly. Go to market and read the comments. I updated and just like you, I could get past the load screen on my TF and my SGS3. So i just restored a previous version and both loaded up straight away.

I'm running K900's latest JB build and the latest Netflix and it is working almost perfectly for me.
