EVO 4G Netflix APK works perfectly on stock Sensation! - HTC Sensation

Not sure if anyone saw this, but Engadget posted a story about the EVO 4G Netflix app working on the EVO 3D, so I figured with the 3D and the Sensation running almost identical software, I'd give it a shot. It works absolutely perfectly. Check it out!

Edit: I would have posted this in the Netflix thread, but I found several and wanted to make sure it wasn't missed by the casual forum browser. If it needs to be merged with an established thread, please do.

There are several apk floating around that work. Nice to see more. Too bad they don't change the way the market basically locks out phones not on some official working list. They would make more money

Great find! Works good for me, thanks!

heres a 1080p netflix app, btw not only the evo 4g one works, all of them work
op please add this one to your op ...

I already have one of the apks out there named the redsea vxx, supposedly the new modded app is brighter and has added rotation. Is this better, worse or pretty much the same?

this thread already links to a post that will constantly update the apk to one that works.

Request: Wii Controller

I'd really appreciate it if someone on here can figure out a way to get the Wii Controller app running on the EVO with or without going around whatever the problem is with Sense UI. I'm using a stock rooted EVO running the latest rooted updates.
That would be awesome!

Just posted under the other thread, this one being the original I thought the information would be better here. I most recently tested "Wiimote Controller" (free version) on Avalaunch's Deodexed 2.2 ROM, and keep coming up with a failed to initialize error, same thing happens with stock.

This. Screw Sense and its lack of Bluetooth support.

hah
the best part is how 4g works in cyanog
oh.. wait..
I looked into this a few weeks ago, I found the actual developer of the wiimote app had posted for help trying to solve the issue, it sounds like it's something as basic as sense using a custom function for bluetooth syncing and the developer doesn't know which function call to use as a replacement. The function could very likely exist, he just needs to know what it is.
Here is the thread, which he seems to have abandoned..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676212
We need to connect him with some of the other seasoned developers, htc would probably share whatever the function he needs to use is if someone would just ask using the correct channels.. I've seen several developers in the evo forums get direct responses from HTC over proprietary code issues, I think it's all about persistance.
Bump. We despritly need this support for our EVOs...
if cyanogen can do it, someone else should be able to mimic that and port it over to us

the problem is the bluetooth drivers in EVERY rom that has HTC Sense. Period. Unless HTC fixes it, it more than likely won't happen. it's not exactly something that can be flashed or installed...
Makes sense.

Netflix already killed it. They blocked access to the streaming server. It was great while it lasted for all of 4 hours.
Damn! They banned it right before ugly to test it.

Heh, I got to post two and downloaded it. Then I read further after i logged in and got denied lol.
smh @ netflix for deading it.....hopefully this means they are working it... who knows, by the time its ready for us, the evo3d will be getting released... lol
So what do you think is gonna happen do you think who ever made this app useable is just gonna work his magic again and get it to work again?

It is because of DRM issues. Android 2.2 does not have the necessary DRM restrictions to keep the evil movie studios happy. They won't let Netflix stream to our devices until they are sure we can't steal their content. It's a google/netflix problem and until they straighten out the DRM to the movie studios satisfaction we won't be getting it.
This is true... movie studios are horrible.. i work in Digital Cinema and you have no idea how many licenses and Keys and security is needed to just play a single movie.
All this protection for their movie from not being stolen, and yet it will not stop the projectionist with a HD camera on the booth
Not to mention the leaks out on the net..
I think as the internet becomes faster studios will realize to just release the content and add their commercials in to get their revenue..
This is the fight i have with co-workers and their Iphones. I make sure i tell them when the new flash comes out...

dude i hear ya. aside from the drm issues, it seems droid is always the last to get the mainstream apps. Netflix would complete this phone from a multimedia platform.
is the app working legally on any android device???
This still pisses me off and the thread has been dead for a while now, I Googled it again, but couldn't find any new info...has anyone heard anything at all?

Netflix WORKS - sort off...
I tried the Netflix app on my Rooted Evo running Fresh 4, it nearly played the video, but then it just refreshed and went back to the menu. I tried it on my Wife's unrooted Evo and it works flawlessly. Go figure!
Sweet! Running perfectly on my evo!
Can't wait to go to work on monday. Gonna be even more unproductive.
I'm glad to hear its working for you guys, pardon my ignorance but I am unsure about fresh, is it 2.2 or 2.3? I am going to nandroid back to my 2.2 and see if that makes a difference, can't really see root making a difference, I'm thinking its something to do with gingerbread.

[App] Netflix (Sound, No Video)

Here it is. My room mate actually sent this to me via email. He was using it on his Captivate, and it works flawless on my Inspire. ENJOY!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15595851/com.netflix.mediaclient-1.apk
EDIT: This is hit and miss. It DOES work on my phone (GingerBeast ROM), I am having reports that it does not work for most though. Many are stating they get audio and no video.
EDIT2: Please read post #10.
Just tried it and I'm able to log into my account and even select a movie but, when it plays, there is only sound and I don't get video. Running ace 1.01 if that makes a difference

Yup, same on CM7 b73 and RCMix 6.1.0.1. Worth a shot, though.
Awesome...I clicked multiquote and nothing happened.
I'm on GingerBeast, and works for me. Not sure what's up, as this was being used on a different phone. I'll update the OP to reflect this. :-( I'm sorry guys.

As dumb as this may sound, I have to rely on someone else to try this method and report back. I'm "uptime" testing a Rom, and can't reboot. :-(
And also, 6 minutes and 23 seconds into Top Gear, and it just crashed on my phone...So it's officially not stable on my Rom either. :-(
**Mods, because this is not stable, can this thread please be merged with the one posted by gunnyman in General?
Well no luck running RCKingdom v0.2 and doesn't play at all but lets you browse. Sill early, I'm sure some dev will get it working in no time.
Here's to wishful thinking!
Inspire 4g on CoreDroid 6.3 with latest LeeDroid Kernal. Sound but no video. Even though it's half functional, I'm just happy the app is finally out instead of them ***** footing around release dates. Soon enough we'll be golden.
I'm running leedroid 3.0.3 and I'm still getting the white screen of Doom
I just tried it in gingerbeast and it doesn't work. I shows a black screen for 13 seconds and then it does back to the movie list.

Is there such a thing as a resource monitor for Android? I ask this, because my room mate has the Captivate, and it works fine. Always. Maybe witha monitor of some sort, we could see what resources are being used on the Captivate -vs- the Inspire and kinda compare from there?
Obviously these are two different phones, but the general concept of functionality should not be too far off.

Top gear is by far the best show on TV. Btw I'm running aosp rc1 and video and audio worked for about 15 seconds and now nothing
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
The room mate and I are gonna try to crack this case tonight! The plan is very stupid, but whatever. haha.
The basic principle of functionality should be equal clean across the board. It has to be the lack of a file or files that is preventing this. The hardware itself is VERY capable of working. This leads use to our conclusion...
I already had drmprovider.apk in my system folder, but did not have drmua.apk.
Tried adding this file and no dice.
Basically, if I already have the file, it will remain untouched. Anything else will be merged in, until it either works, or crashes the phone. I DO NOT SUGGEST OTHERS TRY THIS. I personally don't care, because I have insurance, under warranty, etc.
If we make any progress I will keep you all informed. And well...If I brick my phone, then I'll see you all in a few days. haha

Breaking: Official CM7 Alpha this Weekend !:D

As Keyan Mobli said in his Google + profile, CM 7's 1st release for the Sensation & the EVO 3D apparently will land some point this weekend as an "Early Alpha". Apparently the camera issue that was holding the CM team back from releasing the ROM is now sorted and we should be expecting the release this weekend. Keyan Mobli or "Kmobs" also took a 1080p video with his CM7 Sensation for us to see, and everything seems fine
Finally, a CM7 thread that makes me happy.

the relevant threads that 'd popped up when i was making the thread had nothing to do with the sensation. and the one thread that's about this aint exactly about this post/these news so i figured its something people actually want to know and a new thread 'd help more than a random post in another more generic thread. anyway, i don't care about post count or whatever i just wanted to share the news.

Bring this great rom on!

If I understand correctly this is just a binary release soley because of the kernel.org hack right? once those servers go back up source will be posted? I also believe 1080p was what was holding them back. By "alpha" I can only assume they mean nightly status which we all know cm nightlies are pretty solid

Hulu Plus New altered APP on Sky Rom

Hi People
I tried using the new posted Hulu Plus APP that has been posted on the general android forum and it did not worked even though some people are reporting that is working on stock Skyrocket. I have SKYSandwish Rom installed and think the intense ad blocking on the Rom is keeping Hulu Plus looping on the buffering screen while tring to play the ads. I am saying this because people with the sam eproblem are reporting that after removing adblocker it started working 100%. To the developer of this ROM can you make the necesary changes to make this modified HULU Plus APP work. It is so much more smother than doing it through the web page.
Thanks.
Richard
First of all you need to post this in his rom thread and second of all for rite now remove that ad blocking.

Is this Hulu.apk the same as the one included by Sean on his Sky ICS rom or the one posted in the eneral android thread? I ask because I have the one included with Sean ICS working ok. The reason I am asking is because what I want to do is make the modified Hulu Plus app work. It is a much better solution because is so much smother and faster.
Ok tested the hulu apk you said but is the same that comes with Sky ICS rom. This is not the Hulu Plus apk I am talkin about. The one I am saying is the full official Hulu Plus app that was modified about 2 days ago and posted in the General Android section that has been made to work with every android device. It is the real Hulu Plus app just modified to work on every android device without even rooting.
OH snapp idk about that one. I thought you were talking about the one form ics rom. I never looked into it. So can't tell you what's wrong sry.

Some people already confirmed working on Skyrocket with skyroketer Rom. The people saying that it did not work for them is because they either had adblocker or because the Rom they were using had some kind of adblocking that prevented it from displaying the ads needed for Hulu Plus to work.
Can you please help me and at least post this on the Sean Sky ICS thread until I have the clearence to post directly on the thread. I would apreciate your help with this.
Good Morning
