Same here with G2X and CM7 with or without OC/UV kernel. I have followed the main Netflix thread from the beginning without seeing any successful installs for the G2X (all ROMs) or a solution for double time video/audio on any phone exhibiting this problem. Can anyone kill the chipmunks? Link to main Netflix thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150

Here is what I did and it is working fine for me. I did it the edit prop.build way.
1. If you have Netflix installed, remove it.
2. Use Root Explorer to edit the prop.build. I changed device to "htc_vision" and manufacturer to "htc" both without the quotes, obviously.
3. Save prop.build(it will also save an origional so don't worry).
4. Reboot phone
5. Install Netflix(I googled Netflix 1.2.2. apk to find the latest)
6. When it loads, if it says you need to update, ignore that.
7. Stream and enjoy. I suggest Mystery Team if you like comedy...

Latest Adobe Flash pre-modded for Hulu

First off I take no credit I jus followed the directions given by others and decided to post for any of those having troubles jus uninstall your old adobe flash and put this one in using astro or what ever file manager you use and it should be golden. And yes this is the most current special thx to Almighty1 for developing the fix and to the others with signature idea if I left anyone out my apologies.

No jus download this and install like any other app and it will work on the hulu app or or the internet jus change your user agent to IE6 its not a fix its the adobe app with the fix already in it jus uninstall the old adobe and put this in gets no easier
Does not work, i tried it with the HULU App and i tried it with HULU.com -- (and i changed the string to desktop in dolphin browser)
On hulu.com it just said that i need to have flash installed (seemed as though it showed i didn't have any flash installed) -- and once i reverted back to stock flash 10.2 it didn't say that anymore
Dont know what to say Ive got some confirmation from another that it worked for him also worked for me so any feedback from others would be appreciated

You did something wrong then, works great for me. Uninstalled the old version, installed this one and voila HULU working with the new version of Flash.
Thx 4 the feedback I really felt I had this aced
Works great!
Not sure what i could have done wrong?
I went into the market and chose uninstall flash 10.2 --
Then i went into ES file explorer and installed the hacked flash from this thread, then i installed the HULU apk
and had no luck.. do i need to do a restart after installing it or something?
am i missing something?
Are you on gingerbread cuz this is a mod for gingerbread I'm pretty sure

Netflix for Android Workaround for mytouch

I found this on the http://techland.time.com/
So i dont take credit for this so i posted the whole page please in joy.
Unless you own one of the five phones that support Netflix's new Android app, Thursday's announcement was worthless.
But thanks to some clever folks on Reddit, Netflix's petty device restrictions needn't apply. With a rooted Android smartphone, you can trick Netflix into thinking your device is approved for streaming video. It's not a perfect fix -- some users can't get it to work -- but it'll do until Netflix officially brings its app to more Android phones.
The first thing you'll want to do is root your phone. You can look up instructions for specific devices at xda-developers, but keep in mind that rooting is not supported by warranty and could turn the phone into a paperweight.
Still with us? Now, follow the instructions, as posted on Reddit:
1) Download ES File Explorer (Or any other root file editor)
2) In ES File Explorer, go into Setting > Root Settings and enable both check boxes
3) Navigate to /system/ and copy/paste build.prop to /sdcard/ (just in case)
4) Open & edit /system/build.prop
5) Change the following lines to make your phone think it is an HTC G2:
--ro.product.model=HTC Vision
--ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
OR
--ro.product.model=Nexus S
--ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
6) Reboot the phone
7) Install the netflix apk (if you haven't already)
Enjoy
I haven't tried this myself, as my only Android device is a Droid Incredible, which doesn't require extra hoop-jumping. Obviously, you work around Netflix's obstacles at your own risk, but the ability to tinker is one of the reasons you got an Android phone in the first place, right?

Interesting, I've tried searching for the netflix app but couldn't find it on glacier. The author seemed to think you could download it first then do the process. Have you used this method and tried to find the app after changing the build.prop?

The download link for the app is in blue in step 7 of the link.
There are a couple threads already in our themes and apps section...but I'm on Virtuous Fusion and I've tried the HTC Vision build.prop method a few times and it hasn't worked for me...
Edit: Before and after changing the build.prop stuff I would get audio with a white screen

I edited the build.prop and used the Nexus S, Samsung build (reboot), but on mine I only get a black screen, audio is working for about 5 to 8 seconds, then it goes back to the movie list.. no FC message... I was thinking maybe this is because I'm using a custom kernel + custom ROM? Are you guys using the stock kernel?... I also have a HTC G2 (supposedly supported), but on that phone I only get an audio and white screen...

Were u using royal Ginger 2.0 or 1.6?
MT4G + CM7 + Faux's BFS LV kernel
2.0 but the official app won't work. You have to us the mod app I posted above.
Can the netflix.apk be modded itself?
inside the apk, there's a folder called "lib" and inside lib, there's a folder called "armeabi"
which lists
libnetflix_device1.so
libnetflix_device2.so
libnetflix_device3.so
libnetflix_device4.so
libnetflix_device5.so
libnetflixmp_jni.so
can a device6.so be added to the apk to add the mytouch?
or maybe one of the given, be edited?

How soon do you think it will be before Skype with Video gets ported over to the EVO? The Nexus S guys already got it...

I think its as easy as tricking the system into beliving we have a nexus s just as it was for others when the netflix released for only certain htc devices.
If we could just get the nexus s build.prop and change our device name to what theres is i think it would work. anyone have a friend with a rooted nexus s and rootexplorer installed to check it out and post the device name ???

I'm no expert but I do not think it is that easy. If it was it would have been done back when the one for the thunderbolt came out. There is already a thread for it HERE (not Evo specific). If you look at the last page or 2 it is referencing the one that was just released.
Looks like someone confirmed this works on the evo. I did try making a call myself but the other person didn't answer so I cannot confirm it works 100% but it appeared to work fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148708&
This is working on my EVO. Someone posted a patched APK. I think in the Nexus S forums. Anyhow, works on EVO Shift, S, S2 etc.
I never made an actual video chat but the window loaded up and video was showing via the front cam.
Try it out...
I tried this but the other person couldnt see my video. I could see ny video on my screen but when they enabled their video, mine went black and they couldn't see me.

Can someone please upload the apk? I can't download that rar from my zoom. Thanks.
I can comfirm this patched apk works with video !! I have been waiting for this a long time !!
in the android market, download a file manager and then extract it to a folder on your android phone... and then the apk will show up and hen install it.
sorry this is a reply to qpstatus
skype2_0_45.rar worked for me. One thing though is that until I updated my Mac client to the dreaded 5.1 (user interface fail) from 2.8, video was not working -- when the call started, the video button on the Mac side would actually get grayed out. 5.1 works just fine. Makes me wonder what version is required on the Windows side to be compatible with the Android client.

That doesn't help. The issue is that when I try to download attachments via XDA from my stock browser on my Xoom or Evo it won't download successfully. The download gets to 100% and says unsuccessful.
For some strange reason it does let me down .apk's successfully.
Force close on Evo 4G.. "The application Skype (process com.skype.raider) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Boo :/
*edit, I just read that video chat only works on 2.3(?).. sorry, but I'm not changing ROMS just to use Skype*
Having issues with video calling - my front camera is not picking up any video. Tried lowering the quality and connecting 4G,Wif,3G all with no success - it's just a black screen on my end - and the spinning circle on the far end.
Anyone have any suggestions?
empty zip?
I seem to be haveing the same problem as gqstatus0685. The zip seems to be empty cannot extract anything from it... running latest stock odexed sense rom likely user error will keep working on it. let me know if anyone has any solutions..
Here's a link to the direct .apk -- just download and install.

I can confirm this works 100% on my EVO running Kings 7.3 ROM. I have tried from EVO to EVO and EVO to PC.

Just navigate to the file with Astro or File Manager and click on it. Make sure you have "Allow install from unknown sources" checked (Settings >> Applications >>). Should install after a double click.

EDIT: Flashed King's 7.3 - works great... Gonna try a few other ROMs to see what happens. At the moment Cyanogenmod's 7 - "update-cm-7.0.3.1-Supersonic" does not allow my video to go through. Will update with further testing.

Have you tried the search button? There is, like, 3 threads that address that...
Did you edit the prop.build? use root explorer to change the model to htc_vision and manufacturer to htc, save the prop.build(it will create a backup)... Reboot phone... And finally install the latest version of netflix... That last step is important... Do not have netflix installed untill the last step.

APP: Gtalk video chat app installer

Here's the gtalk with video chat everyone's been waiting for, just install like a regular apk file. Developer information is in the app with instructions on how to install. DO NOT DELETE ORIGINAL GTALK APP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I get a "Parse error"
"There is a problem parsing the package."
Is there a specific ROM design to run this?
Stock ROM or any GB?
Thanks
FYI, this installer is available in the Market as "Talk 1.3 Installer".
I'm running infused 2.1 and it worked fine for me. I didn't know it was on the market though.

Also, since Serendipity VII usually comes without GTalk installed unless you hit the "addons" section of Mikey's site, the "backup" function of the app won't work.
However the installation function works fine.
Installed... and seems to work fine!!! Running on Infused 2.1.0!

hmmmm, must have got pulled again, I see nothing at all regarding Talk 1.3, or talk installer etc.
i searched "talk 1.3" on market.android.com and found it just fine and pushed the install to my phone. installed just fine and works great.
Serendipity Infuse v7
Downloaded and installed successfully from the attached file. Checked the market, and talk 1.3 is there.
Quick question though, you have to be on WIFI to use the video feature? It wouldn't let me unless i was on WIFI
I to am Running Serendipity 7
..the backup wont run but the Install is Flawless..thanks man. -
Doesn't work. Parsing error...
