I dont currently have root on my charge since they threw the update on in store, But can anyone out there thats rooted through up a editted netflix app that runs on the charge??
No joy. Lets me log in but closes after.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I had problems getting it to work on my Nook Color, but finally did.
First question is whether you power cycled the phone after installing the edited Build.prop file? You need to do that to get it to recognize its new "identity."
Second question is whether you have the Netflix app installed to your main memory, or the microSD card? If the former, move it to the card. This thing eats up a lot of memory when buffering so will crash if it's not on the card.
At least, those are the two steps I needed to do to get mine working.
However, I did have another question. In your OP you said you don't have Root. If you don't are you actually able to get in and swap the Build.prop file to begin with?
I was looking for someone to post up one with the build.prop already edited so that I could get it to work is what im saying
My bad, I thought the second post was yours.
I currently don't have a Charge (will be ordering in the next few days) or I'd put mine up there. In any event, the file needs to be put in the /system folder, which I believe requires Root to manipulate, so if you aren't Rooted, I'm not sure you're going to be able to do anything.
Good luck!

Just want to pose the question of how to edit the build.prop now that we have fairly stable root. I was going to use ES File Explorer but I can't get it to allow the root features. If I can get into it (yes adb is foreign to me outside my trusty Nook) could I make it a Nexus S? HTC Vision? Ideas or guides welcome. Thanks all.
so, let me get this straight:
are you talking about the system build.prop for the whole phone or something that specific to the Netflix App?
Where would I get the netflix app?
tried to build prop change, no go. pretty sure we have to have 2.3 to get it working
I'm talking about the system wide build.prop file.
I enabled Netflix on my NC by editing the build.prop to say that it is the HTC Vision.
About the actual app itself, it is on the market, or if not found there just do a quick google for it and you can have it in no time:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
My Charge would do all but stream. We'll get there!
Apple has a contract with Netflix. We have to wait until it expires before we get Netflix on most Android devices. Same thing with Skype.
I used the netflix apk from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
Didn't work. Couldn't stream. Would editing the build.prop. enable streaming?
To the best of my (limited) knowledge, this could work. However I am "studying" and have been stripped of my Charge.
1. Backup your device by whatever means you may.
2. Get a root file explorer and go to your /system file
3. Make a copy of your build.prop somewhere other than /system before doing anything.
4. Go back to the original build.prop and change the lines for product model and manufacturer to match this:
ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
-or-
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
*Must stay in their appropriate pair. I.E. HTC does not make the Nexus S, it won't work.
5. Save the new file and REBOOT (necessary)
6. Open Netflix, login, and try to watch something.
7. Let me know if it works please!
Now Netflix may be installed before, after, 3 quarters the way through the steps, whatever floats your boat. I installed before the first step when doing this to my Nook. Best of luck.
*I assume no responsibility for you messing up your device, but if you do I will try to talk you through that hard time.

I read the same thing on another site, but I didn't know if it's legit or not because changing the model to "Nexus S" seems too generic. I figured Nexus S wouldn't be the "real" model name.
But I'll give it a whirl and let you know.

Did not work.
Edit:
Samsung Nexus S model number is GT-I9020T. Changing the build.prop to that model didn't work either.
Edit 2:
LOL. I am retarded. Didn't read/see Reboot Necessary. Gonna give it another try.
Odd, I'm sure there's some way to get it up and running. Thank you for letting me know so quickly. Huge help! Where there's a will there's a way, and I want me some Netflix over 4G so I will keep poking around.

I downloaded the netflix.apk that has been floating around, and with a few tweaks to my build.prop, I was able to get it to work on the galaxyXT ROM.
You have two choices, either download the attached build.prop file and stick in into your /system/ directory... or make the modifications yourself. FYI, please make a backup of the original build.prop before you mangle it.
I changed three lines in my build.prop. Just find these lines in your build.prop and change them to this:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
ro.build.fingerprint=tmobile/htc_vision/vision/vision:2.2.1/FRF91/277427:user/release-keys
Reboot, and that worked for me! If you have different experiences, please be sure to post them here.
FYI, If you make the changes yourself, make sure they are exact, case and everything. Use Notepad++.
Enjoy!
how/where do you access the /system/ directory? I looked on my SD card but cannot find.
thx

Not on your sd card.
It is in the /system/ Use Root Explorer or something like it.
It's in the phones internal memory, not on your sdcard. You would either need a file explorer with root access (e.g. Root Explorer) or you need to push it with adb.
tried using root explorer & it says the system files are read only...
Nevermind, clicked the R/W button & it allowed...
I'll try Netflix now after a reboot.
At the top of window while in root explorer you'll see a MOUNT R/W button, you need to toggle on read / write access.
Wow! Works Beautifully!
Wow! Works Beautifully! Thank YOU!
Work on Dexter's 1.3 too!
Sorry for the ignorance but what is it?
Streaming movie/TV service. Not everybody has it, but its a big deal for Android phones to FINALLY get it since iphone and Windows 7 phones have had it for a while.
I'm not sure, but there are several apk XDA of netflix, and other folders, I can not understand yet. Apk is installed, replace the buildprop and that would be enough? You may be able to give us the link to the apk please because in my market does not appear.
For the payment of subscription must be from the website or can be within the application?
The truth was unaware of this application, it looks very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
can someone share here the apk..tq

Thanks for posting that. I couldn't remember where in the forums I had found it.
Hey I'm running stock 2.1 rooted on the xt720. I swapped out the build.prop you supplied in the .zip and installed numerous versions of the netflix clients to see if any would work. The apps installed fine but when I tried to open them (every single one) just opened to a black screen, then it force closed with a bunch of Japanese lettering. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I got Netflix installed and everything seems to work. But when I hit play, it starts to load and says that I don't have a Netflix ready device. I have Dexter Froyo v1.3 on XT720. Anyone have this problem?

This is the deal I am trying to edit the build prop with "es file explorer" so I can make my g2x think it's a different phone for two reasons, one is so I can get skype with video chat on it & second is so I can get neflix on it. When I Go & do it The Xda Way & Hit Save I Get A Message Saying "Error occurred when trying to save the file. It Will not be saved". Also, here is some info about my phone I am running the ota 2.3.3, I am thinking that's why I cannot do it? If anyone can help me out I will appreciate it thanks in advance. Oh & by the way I did root the phone, if that makes any difference.

You can't get skype with video working, and if you do please PM on how to haha, second you have to go into settings and check "root helper" or like "root something" and right below that check "make writable" this is assuming you have a rooted phone, wont work without it. Sorry.

how do i root it? as far as i know i had done it following this youtube .com/watch?v=ob4TCJ_K_S0 but my phone is telling me it's not rooted
use root explorer to edit...... go to system and the tab at the top touch it.. the folder will become r/w... then long press the build prop and open in text editor.... it will automagically save the old prop as a backup...

I can't get root explorer because you need a credit card to buy it & I do not have one & you can't get it billed to the account like a lot of apps let you do. PS I got it free & the newest one I am going to try it out now what you said
Be very careful. Some roms, especially stock and also some CM roms, won't work if you change the name in the build.prop. This info is used for booting the phone. You could render the phone in a bootloop or just locked up at boot. Better to leave the build.prop alone if you are not an expert in Android development.
You can also change build prop using root tools. Google search for the apk or download aptoide from market and dl from there if the server hasn't already been killed.
I changed mine a couple months ago to htc visions for netflix purposes, long story short I went back to p999. I suggest you leave yours as is.

First go to the market get a app called 4share download register with real email the once ur in hit menu search root explorer tap on root explorer it will install its free also check xda forums for zip file that will automatically root ur phone (gx2) in cwm just choose install zip from SD,choose the root zip u.

I know that but what I consider stock is a ROM that hasn't been messed with at all.
I normally run Cyanogen Mod 7 but it's not available yet.
No, I don't like the crap bloatware apps.
Thing is, I will not die without Hulu and it's not enough reason for me to grab the first thing that comes along and install it.
I am actually enjoying the stock rom on this phone. Can't do everything I am used to but, I have to say that it's been pretty nice.
I will likely consider Cyanogen when it comes out for this phone but I am going to have to think pretty hard at this point. That rom has caused nothing but issues for me on multiple phones in regards to GPS which I rely on quite a bit. I know there are fixes and I got my GPS working after a lot of hassle on my Evo but never had success fixing it on my Inspire. Been nice having my GPS working without an issue on my Skyrocket. So... At this point, I just don't want to mess with the stock rom until I have a chance to evaluate it more.
My phone is rooted and that seemed to be all I needed to edit the needed files in the past but I guess not in this case.
Didn't Hulu come out recently and say they are supporting all Android devices now or was that Netflix?

I agree the Stock rom on the SR is great thats why im not even worried about not having 5 or 6 roms to choose from. i thinks its pretty nice as is. but i like to be able to edit certain files. and i think all you need it root explorer and you CAN edit pretty much everything on the phone.
but i didnt notice that you cant edit the build.prop, or the libs. i had to pull the build prop and edit on my comp and push it back.
and CM7 is a buggy nice little rom one of those things were you deal with the problems cuz its so damn nice. same with miui.

What did you change in the build.prop? The manufacturer, the model screen settings? I have done this on multiple devices including my Honeycomb tablet. My HoneyComb tablet (Acer A100) is running stock rom and I know I was able to edit the build.prop on that just using ES Explorer.
Let me know what to change and I will give it a whack, after backing up the build.prop file and making a nandroid

you shouuld have four files in there already right? i have seen it where it is empty sometimes and that means this wont work.

this is true, but even with root on the stock rom(odexed) i dont think you can edit the lib files.
im pretty sure.
this is for Rogers users who have wifi calling in their plan.
How to get wifi calling working on htc sensation.
You need lib files from Rogers EVO, I found them in KingCobra3Dv1.6 ROM
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267131):
libganril.so
libhtc_ril.so
libhtc_ril_switch.so
libkineto.so
librilswitch.so
Copy them to /system/lib
then you will also need apk for rogers wifi calling from kineto. I've found one on this forum (googled it):
MS-HTC-SHT-GB-2.3-48407-06.1.apk
This file is from Rogers EVO uploaded here by nice user(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216683&page=2). You will need to put it in
/system/app
Last step is to add to your build.prop this line:
rild.libpath=/system/lib/librilswitch.so
restart, enjoy!

I have done some research on how to root my sgs2. Once I do that today I will try and install the fix you have suggested. The lib files can be found in the file tree of the mod you suggested? I can just browse its folders, correct? No need to actually install it on my sgs2? Thanks for your help.
How is the workaround working for you? Are you getting uma without issues? Does it drain battery like alot of evo users have been reporting?
Ive followed everything you described step by step. It doesn't work. I see the icon when i click on it, it launches but exits from the app two seconds afterward. No error..
In the app it says wifi calling "enabling..." with the checkbox being checked of. I can click on other menu options and it doesn't close the app.
I can also assure you that I have wi-fi calling access on my account.

I have done some research on how to root my sgs2. Once I do that today I will try and install the fix you have suggested. The lib files can be found in the file tree of the mod you suggested? I can just browse its folders, correct? No need to actually install it on my sgs2? Thanks for your help.
How is the workaround working for you? Are you getting uma without issues? Does it drain battery like alot of evo users have been reporting?

Yes, the libs are in lib directory, all I did is just copy them to lib on my phone. You may want to extract the zip on pc.
As for battery, it is in fact better since it turns off radio once it connects to WiFi.
There is no issues so far and voice quality is pretty good considering my moderate internet speed of 1.3M

Ive followed everything you described step by step. It doesn't work. I see the icon when i click on it, it launches but exits from the app two seconds afterward. No error..
In the app it says wifi calling "enabling..." with the checkbox being checked of. I can click on other menu options and it doesn't close the app.

Well. First question; after reboot did you get a window pop up saying something like " did you know that your phone can make WiFi calling" ?
This indicates that the libs are working, apk itself won't work. Also is the icon red, kind of Rogers like? If its not then you have T-Mobile apk which again doesn't work.
If it works , you actually don't open the app, it will turn on automatically when signal is too low. There is no force mode to use WiFi instead of GSM.
You can in fact open it with winrar or any zip software and search for rogers string, to make sure.
Also its good to check if the prop.build file has the line I've mentioned. I had my system dir in read-only mode and it was not saved.
I put the line at the end but I doubt it matters.
Otherwise I'm pretty sure that is all you need.
Oh, yeah, Im sure u have the feature but if you have a chance to test it in any blackberry, give it try. I checked mine before.

I wanted to follow up. I did everything that was described and had the app on the phone but still couldn't make calls. I added the one line in the build.Prop file. In theory I did all that was required then I noticed my imei was gone. It took me 2 hours to get my phone back to original state. Clockworkrecovery mod saved me and I ended up restoring my phone. I would still like to get this thing to work as I am going nuts without signal coverage.
I come from the world of blackberry and I know uma worked.
I wish there was an easier way for this to get going. I am a persistent noob when it comes to android, so I know I will get this working. I appreciate your help in this manner.
Rogers should release an app on the market allowing all android and iphones to have this, it would only benefit everyone involved. As a rogers employee I will continue to lobby for this to happen.
I will need to revisit this once my exams are done. I will do more research on this as well.
PS. I did not get the pop up when I booted my phone. There was an htc file in there. Does it matter that I have an sgs2?
The libs are from rom for sensation, I'm not sure if they work for Samsung. In fact I think not. But the apk should be fine. It's made providers. See if you can find similar lib files from sgs2 ROM

This was for people in this thread looking for ICS HTC files.
I'm wondering if it is possible for me to make the market believe my phone is a different model of my choice ?
Not sure, you could try editing your build.prop to a different phone and see what happens.................

Root explorer does a great job of this, dont know of any free file explorers that would do this...maybe someone can chime in...

Root Browser
and
ES Explorer
are both very good free alternatives
Also a good example of what editing the build-prop to a different phone model can be found here
@TurnBOOM what are you trying to do? Are you trying to get an app that is not ment for your model/country? Whats this about re-registering your google account? Same account just a "different phone"
I'm trying to get an app that's not mean for my phone I've edited the build prop however when you first start your phone up with custom rom and load the market it registers your phone tpo your google account and shows the apps meant for your phone now I've changed my build I can't log out and log back in market so iot sees my phone as a different model
you'd have to register your account after having edited the build.prop file, at one time I had 2 Galaxy S2 and one HTC Desire S all linked to the same account, worked a treat..
