Netflix on Showcase - Samsung Mesmerize

Anyone know how to get it working on this? I have it on here, but it crashes when you sign in, and the apk that fixes that is old and wont let me sign in becasue of a newer version.

I know you need 2.2(froyo), because of flash, to run netflix. Are you on stock?

You actually need 2.3 from as far as i can tell to get this to work correctly.

cellular south showcase roms

are their any roms for the showcase?
I haven't found one yet, I try to keep a check in this mez forum though since we donte have our own forum. From what I can gather then mesmerize is most similar. I would nit flash one specific for the mez though. Hope us Showcase users get some love soon though. My hats go off to all the developers.
I'll build you something
If you can send me a link to a copy of a nandroid backup, I can build you something. There's almost no difference between the two, so it wouldn't be that hard.
Yeah id be glad to do that, if not tonight tomorrow for sure, thank you!

No prob. I can even do some quick, basic ports of the themes that I put out for the Mes. They're not complete themes but they are better than nothing for now. Plus when we get everything built up, it will be easy to move stuff from us to you guys.
Just as a side note, I don't have a Showcase to test any of this stuff. So it will be up to the brave to flash first and report back. I won't do anything to your builds that I don't do to ours first, but you know how it goes with these sorts of things.

I was gonna say, if you have 2.2 then you could post a copy of your backup and some devs in a higher pay grade than me could port it to the Mesmerize and the Fascinate.
Anyway, just a copy of a 2.1 nandroid backup is all I need. Preferably stock, rooted, but I can work with whatever you have installed.

That works. Just put it up and send me a link to download. For something like that, if you don't have a place to host files, I would use ge.tt because I can start downloading it as soon as you start uploading it.

It finally started to come through. At 293mb, I'm guessing that Cellular South put a bunch of bloat on it. If it stays downloading at this rate, I'll have it in about 15 minutes and I could have something done tonight.
What is the Build number of the Showcase.
Menu, Settings, About phone, Build number is at the very bottom

In need of a volunteer
OK, I had a couple of problems with the first run of deodexing. The Showcase framework is slightly different than the Mesmerize and did a couple of unexpected things. That's why it's taken so long to get back on here with anything. Because of the problems, I need a brave soul to step up to the plate and flash a tester. This shouldn't look any different from the stock OS because I have not taken anything out yet (nothing visible anyway).
Requirements for a tester:
1. You must understand that this is an Alpha test, and that your phone may not operate as expected. I don't see any reason that it wouldn't but, gotta cover that butt.
2. You must understand how your phone works normally. This should be a given.
3. I would like this to be someone who is familiar with adb and has at least downloaded the Android SDK and been able to play around some, not completely necessary, but it would be nice.
4. You must be willing, and able to flash a couple of tests so that I can run at least two scenarios before we move in to a Beta. This means you must have CWM already set up on your phone and now how to do this again if need be.
5. Lastly, and most importantly, the Showcase does not have stock recovery files released that I have found yet. If something goes horribly wrong, (I don't expect this at all) you must understand that you may not be able to get back to "normal". There are workarounds that have worked on the Mesmerize before I released our stock files, but this is a last resort type thing.
If you are ready, willing, and able, send me a PM. I may not get back to you immediately, as I am doing several things today, but I will get back to you today. This is not for the average person to flash, so please take this seriously.
The Alpha has been built and submitted to my tester. If all goes well, I could have a Beta version ready for public flashing tonight.
If so, I should also have basic themes that will be able to be flashed also.
--Also, I need a list of the stock apps that come on the Showcase. Just the visible apps from the app drawer, not the apk's in the app folder.

Has one tried Boot Manager for our phone?

Just curious if it works on our phones. I'd really love to have dual boot options for cm9 and sense.

It adds the ability to multi boot. Kind of like your computer being able to run windows and linux, this lets our phones run up to 5 different roms

I just gave it a shot -- I added all the stuff manually, but would get an error that it was unable to download the files. I ended up using a titanium backup to load the data and after that it would launch. However, when I tried installing a ROM, I would get an error that it was unable to create a new boot.img. I might try a different ROM to see if that works.
please let us know if it worked!

Can't get Flash to work on my Note 10.1

I haven't rooted or flashed any roms on my Note 10.1 yet. I've searched around the forums from the other threads and none of those .apk's of the adobe flash players seem to work... The tablet is still on android 4.0.4.
Would it help to update to jb? Any help is appreciated!
Sorry Guys! I just figured it out. Sorry for starting the thread!
Can you let me know what you did to make it work?

To get flash on mine I uploaded a flash apk I had from my phone to my dropbox then opened the apk from the tab and installed it as you would any other app. Oh, you need to go into SETTINGS>SECURITY and tick the install from Unknown Sources box

You can also get flash from Adobe. Then use a browser that supports it, like Dolphin or Boat.
Stock browser also work with the deprectaed flash for android from adobes website. As stated earlier just make sure you are able to install from unknown sources to sideload it. I have read conflicting things about this working with the upcoming JB update. Im stock unrooted so I cnt speak to what will happen once we upgrade.

Has anyone got flash working with JB? I tried side loading the flask.apk I have from my phone. It seemed to install ok but if I try access any sites with flash it says flash is not installed. Using Firefox browser.

Shield Tablet Awesome! Me, stupid...

So yeah. Anyone have a stock rom dump I could grab and reflash with? I managed to brick mine doing a merge updates into rom with titanium backup before taking a dump of my rom. It appears that the stock rom hasn't been posted on nvidia's site yet. If not, I can wait
The source is available and I'm currently syncing. If I'm able to make anything useful I will post it up and let you know.
Sent from my One M8
The source compiled. I don't think I have it all together in a nice package (IMG/zip) yet, but I'll dig through it once I get home tonight.
Anyone who want's to give this a try go ahead. I haven't tried it yet. I followed Nvidia's build instructions and built the factory preinstalled build. You need to have your bootloader unlocked, all of the files flash using fastboot. Hopefully this will work for anyone having issues until Nvidia gets a factory image out.

I gave it a try. I also posted in the dev section with a little more info. It will boot just it doesn't have the play store/nvidia apps. So I kinda screwed myself there by trying it since I was fine before hand. Oh well :silly:. I'll push the google stuff and play with it later.

I believe the nvidia apps are all on the playstore. I saw the link for nvidia hub showing up on my nexus 7. That'd be pretty nice to be honest (assuming there aren't any special drivers needed) having a super clean device.

I was able to get the google frameworks and playstore by downloading a gapps zip and pushing them onto the device using adb so that's a start

Found an odd issue. When I let my tablet idle to sleep, the touch screen stops responding. If I lock it with the button it doesn't do that. Do you have the same issue? Thanks again for all your help with the build! It's nice just having a useful device again
I'm getting some odd things on reboot too. The screen looks all messed up for a minute then it corrects itself. I'll try the OTA0 build nvidia has listed too and see if that's any better. Won't be until tomorrow night at least.

HELP!!

I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm on an "old" phone, when I try to download snapchat or some other apps it says my device isn't compatible. I tried to do the APK websites but when its time to install my installing thing says it isn't able to "parse" it. Is there any new like update thingys where my whole LG-P930 can update its software and I'll be able to download snapchat? And how? Please someone help me
No that device is beyond hope.

Can't you download snapchat from Play Store? If not, try to download it from apkpure. Good luck to you.
Btw, I wonder whether your device is able to get the latest update of system software.
That device is very old, you're not going to be able to use Snapchat on it.
