Netflix on Android Released - G Tablet General

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?

Interesting

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.

Android 2.2 [FROYO] running on Archos 5 IT - Need developers

Hi,
the openaos community got Froyo running on Archos 5 Internet Tablet
If you (developers) want to help us you can contact us on forum:
forum.archosfans.com/viewforum.php?f=34
or on IRC:
Freenode: #openpma
Thanks
You can see an image here:

Genious
Nice...(Froyo) I will be following.
I wish Archos could pull in itunes "Genious" program. Thats the only thing itunes has thats worth anything to me.
Is there any news on this?
I purchased two Archos 5 IT units yesterday,,
It would be nice to run 2.2 on it instead of 1.6
Really looking forward
heres the latest
http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/SettingUpMultiRootGen7
http://www.openaos.org/
only doable easily if you are running ubuntu - which I am not.
There is a tutorial onyoutube for installing but I have difficulty following the guys instructions.
Would be awesome if some one could cook out the latest froyo release for the gen8s into something that works on the 5it. I would happily loose the (sometimes sh1te) mkv supporting archos media player for rockplayer or other of the new breed of android media player that runs all file types.
If anyone can-knows how to complie an aos that is installable without ubuntu Im prepared to give it a go.
Cheers
gurry
Well I followed the instructions and I have froyo on my 5it.
It's a bit limited but runs fine. Just need to know how to get market working.
Is there a way to compile a new rom by using the current img I have and adding on options? Such as remove phone function add in google apps.
A detailed hide to rom building would be great.

I also installed Froyo some days ago, but I restored the firmware because the Archos Media Center in my 1.6 Android ceased to work.
Is yours still working correctly?
Reverting back to Android 1.6
Once I hack Archos IT 5 to Froyo, can I go back to the original Archos 1.6 setup with all the original apps?
You can remove the whole developer firmware back to stock 1.6 by holding down vol - and powering up the archos and reset firmware from there.
I had triple boot set up with mine. 1.6 froyo and angstrum all selectable on first boot.

froyo on archos 5 it
Hi everybody!!!!
I have installed froyo on my archos 5it.
I still have access to archos os(android 1.6(v2.0.38)).It's working fine.But when go to froyo, i use some of the apps, the browser didn't work i installed dolphin browser. I tried to use an app that required root access, it didn't work.i went on the android market(that works great!!) and installed root check.It just confirmed that i don't root access.So i'll be very happy if somebody could give me some help on how to have that root access.
Thank you.
PS: I would be happy to do some testing for any developer !Just ask!!
bump bump bump
Is this project completely dead in the water? I'm still holding onto my Archos 5IT (500gb) in hope that someday it will get Froyo but it's getting mighty heavy next to my Evo and Viewsonic G-tab.
Archos 5 Internet Tablet
I'm holding on to mine too. Love the space on it for music and movies but wish it was updated with something. Only a handful of apps showing on the market to download.
hi
some one can make foryo for archos 5 it that can very interesting

[APP] TV Shows Stream LITE

Hi,
We have been working on this app, is my fourth android app.
The aplication searchs over internet for tv-shows links capables to be played directly on your device, with full screen support using megavideo, frogmovz, karambavidz and other hosting services. The search resoult are shown in a intuitive and easy to use interface.
EDIT: This application is not available anymore.
Samsung galaxy vibrant user here:
Using Nerov3+voodoo
on wifi
While the interface of the app was very easy to navigate. Non of the the videos I tried to play from the few websites I selected would play. I picked monk and the x-files. I also tried multiples of the sources.
It basically opens a webpage and ask you to verify that you are human. Nothing happens for "me" beyond that.
Vibrant user..nerov3..no voodoo Dexter works fine !!
Will this ever support HDMI out for the EVO?
Try megavideo servers first
The best integration is when megavideo is used as stream server, it goes directly to full screen.
I have been watching X Files and Dexter without any problem on my HTC Desire.
Sounds Great I'm in
I purchased the full version. So far so good
I have not had any problems loading videos on the Droid Incredible. However, there seems to be a delay on the sound by about a second or two.
I downloaded the lite version and experienced it both on Prison Break and Lost.
Excellent so far when I use megavideo streams. Awesome that its got its always sunny - thats not even on netflix streaming!.
watching dexter on my nexus one running MircoMod777 Gingerbread V.19
havent tried any others yet but im sure most if not all work, theres alot of sources to choose from so dont start crying if the first one doesnt load up right away, its the lite version, deal with it
Can you add Fringe?
I m a fan.
Beauty! I bought the full version right away. Great app.
same here, great app but would like to suggest maybe an integration with tv show favs app, maybe. I see the bookmarks app which is good, also how often will these be update, are we looking at 30 mins after show aired?

same with me full version on EVO cm7rc0. I will try fresh ROM later.
Hi,
This app has not been tested with custom ROMs. If you experience problems try uninstalling the rom flash player and install flash player from the market before changing your ROM.
so far so good.....most likely will upgrade soon...........great work..........
AWESOME
Bought it right away. And I never buy apps haha

thanks for the great app
works flawlessly with cynagen only problem is that still no 4g only in alpha stage when done, it will be amazing, try to see if it will work on my nook.
Running Rod's latest MIUIMOD rom on my N1(running on base 12.31). I didn't even screw with the lite app, I went to the jugular and bought the app.
Watch a few mins of a show and works great! Thanks for the app!
Works fine on my Droid X. It's running Rubix 1.9.5.

Web based Android Marketplace

Check out the new web based android marketplace:
market.andrioid.com
Moved to general
Has anyone been able to install anything from there yet? I keep getting errors.
I have installed to my Nexus One.
My GTab shows up as a Malata. Guess that one's probably never going to have proper Market support. I can browse and install, but My Apps doesn't work.
If you get in, please let us know what your tablet shows up as and if your market is working properly.
I'm the other way around. I have a GTab (showing up as Nvidia/VEGAn-Tab) that shows up in my Market Account settings and that I appear to be able to download to (I'm at work and it's at home, but it appears as an option when the Market looks for compatible devices).
But my N1 is MIA on the Web Market. Doesn't appear as one of my devices. I've gone into the Market on my N1, downloaded an app, browsed around a bit, rebooted my phone, browsed around again, but it still doesn't appear in the Web Market.
My GTablet doesnt show up AT ALL... says I dont have a phone - which I do not.
Question for those of you that can download:
1. Do you own an android phone?
2. What fingerprint are you using?
3. What ROM are you using?
For me
1. NO
2. Mahmahi fingerprint that comes with Vegan
3. Vegan 5.1
My Droid Incredible running CM7 shows up and my Gtablet running Vegan 5.1. Tried to push some of the free apps and so far it installed no problem on my incredible haven't tried my Gtablet but I did send an app to it. It seems it detects what hardware it has and doesn't allow you install apps that use gps for example.
1. Yes
2. Malata G Tablet
3. BitTrix CM7 B04
I've been unable to find a single application that will let me install to the Tablet.
1. Yes - Droid (stock, not rooted) (shows up, apps install fine)
2. Passion/mahimahi (comes with TnTLite 4.2.1)
3. TnT Lite 4.2.1
Droid shows, works as intended. Gtab is NOT showing up at all.
I'm running CyanogenMod 7 on mine with pershoots kernal. Shows up fine as a Malata G Tablet, can download to it no problems, all my apps i've downloaded show up in my orders.
Only problem I've got is my Droid one isn't showing up. My guess is because I'm running Cyanogen 6.0 Stable with the old market. (waiting for a 7 RC to update to)
I see both my Motorola Droid and my VEGAn Gtablet listed....
checking around....tried a live wallpaper and it would only list my Droid (Gtab ghosted out).
Clicked on Yellow Pages app and it allowed me to choose either. I chose my Gtab and it pushed it right on down...
Not sure what it's reading for "compatibility" for devices....

My Droid shows up and I'm running my AOSP compiled ROM with the old Market. I have however at one point, compiled a new rom and tested the new Market App...though had other issues in my new compile and went back to my previous build.
From my gtab,
as I tried to install gun bros the only device that showed up was my nexus one.
Works for me. I am on stock TnT with market installed. It detected my gtab as Malata TnT-enhanced. Thanks for the link!
These are some very interesting results.
Changed my device in the settings to Viewsonic G-Tablet, I also have my Droid 1, I can now select my G-Tablet and send to it. Works so far. Running Vegantab 5.1 Clemsyn kernel 2.6.32.9
clicked on "My Market Account"
settings tab
Just changed my nickname (Viewsonic G-Tablet)
clicked update
not sure if that has anything to do with it. A few games wont install though not sure if its because I'm trying to install it on both devices.

My tablet shows up as a Malata GTablet-TnT-Lite - I selected install and it installed the app I requested in less than 2 min. Be sure to give your tablet a nickname.. I can offer no reason why it worked so flawlessly for me.

So on the website it shows as installed but the app isn't showing up on my nexus one.
Tried rebooting but still nothing. It's not on my gtab either.

Mine also doesn't show up as anything. I was able to download, install and run apps.

Offical Netflix app released for us!!

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/12/netflix-releases-android-app-for-select-htc-phones-samsung-nexu/
And it works!
Edit: My current setup is a AMOLD dinc, running CM7 with 2.3.3. 16GB msd in to.
Download from market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient
Netflix is apparently blocking unsupported devices when you try to login, I uploaded the apk to my xoom to test it and it did not let me login.
I have the app and have not yet been able to get it to load. I just get a black screen.
However, I noted that the details on the market page state it is official for the Incredible running 2.2, and I'm running CM7.
Has anyone else tried with CM7?
Assuming there are indeed compatibility issues, I'm hopeful the devs will find a way to make it work, because I'm not looking forward to going back to stock, but I need Netflix.
(Actually. Right now, I'm thinking about loading up one of the dual-boot options with some stock Froyo. This is worth the effort.)
Edit: The dual-boot option is awesome and all... But then, I tried again in CM7, and I found that I spent a few hours heavily tweaking my phone for nothing but the thrill; the app works, and I was watching Ong Bak 3 in seconds. Since I don't need a Sense rom, I undid the dual-boot configuration.
So. Works on CM7.
Just saw this. Not showing up for me in the market. I assume its a CM7 thing.
Maybe we can find locate an apk.

Official Netflix App Now Supports Honeycomb

You should now be able to see it in the Market.
Current version is 1.5.0
No discernable changes from 1.4.1 though so not exactly a Honeycomb-optimized application yet.
Yeah a pleasant surprise to see it in my list of apps needing update.
The latest update to the Netflix app now officially supports access in Canada. Tested on my Transformer and Nexus S. It does not appear to be optimized for tablets in terms of taking advantage of the screen realestate, but at least it finally works without having to mess around with VPNs to access streaming outside the U.S.
I can't seem to find it on the Market anywhere even searching for Netflix doesn't come upwith anything
I have this problem with other apps. For me it was caused by the ROM that I was using. The Prime ROM seems to be better for me than the Revolution HD. What ROM are you using?
EDIT - just checked and my TF running Prime 2.0.4 doesn't show the app either.
EDIT 2 - Try the online market. It worked for me!

Man I'm so happy. No more side loading or patching!!
Great I was not having any luck with the VPN route ....
Glitchy playback.
So has anyone noticed that although the 1.5 version of Netflix's video is sharper, the play back is glitch compared to the 1.4.1 version?
It's so glitchy that I've opt to stay with the 1.4.1 and suffer the "update available" messages.
BTW, I'm running 3.2.1 unrooted version of HoneyComb.
