Can anyone with a Netflix account test to see if either build.prop change will work for us?
Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but I didn't see it in the Netflix thread...
Edit: It seems a couple people in the Reddit comments claim it doesn't work for the T-Bolt but I would like to get a bigger sample size. Plus I think I trust you guys to get it right a little more...

I've already attempted the build.prop edits with two different NetFlix apk's (com.netflix.mediaclient-1.apk and com.netflix.mediaclient-2.apk) neither one worked on Thunderbolt. Other phones are having success.
Its already been tested. Someone changed the build.prop to match a G2 and it played the sound for about 5 seconds then crapped out with no video.
Thunderbolt is not a "incompatible" device, so these changes are not needed.
Our issue something to do with stagefright (from what I understood from slayher)
Has anyone attempted this on a GB Bolt?
I tried build.prop change and it didn't work on my TB. It starts to play and after one second it goes back to Netflix menu.
I had two different errors. A different error from each of the apk's I tried. The first would begin to play the movie (no video but a second of sound would play) and then back to the list of movies and a DRM notification. The second would not even begin to play the movie but would pop up with an error that it could not connect to NetFlix and that my device was not supported. I tried both apk's after editing my build.prop
now that i think of it, netflix would want more devices supported.... don't you think if they figured out how to put it on the thunderbolt they would? Its better for them, and for us.
I'm pretty sure that XDA can some how get it to work eventually, but hopefully netflix doesn't take too long to support more devices....
This great app is pissin me off. I loaded the version from Market update back on 15th. Worked great! Then yesterday I had to change out my phone for new one due to screen dust.
Last night I loaded both the 2.2 red and green versions and both seem to load fine. Then when I go to play movie. It gives cant connect to Netflix servers. Now I can not find the one that worked again in the big thread here.
Any help
Thanks
mine works. check the netflix thread's first post because it links to the thread that constantly updates it
Will be updated in the future, as questions are found and answered. So far, the most popular FAQ's, compiled from dev forum(s), follow.
Do 2.1.x addons/mods work in 3.0.x?
Depends on the addon.
APM
Quick Settings
CRT Animation
Camera Mod
are confirmed as WORKING from other testers.
However, they are not officially confirmed by mike1986.
YMMV.
My phone isn't recognizing that it's plugged in via USB. Anyone else having this problem with RCMix Sensation 1.0 rev. (1, 2, etc..)
You're not alone. The problem hasn't been fixed yet, but it is being investigated. Harness your patience, or flash the Unity v8 kernel instead if you absolutely need USB connectivity.
Alternatively, try Wifi File Explorer, or SwiFTP for file transfers without USB.
Wallpaper issues
I'm running Android Rev Hd 3.6.4 and so far so awesome. The only problems i have had are no internal memory and i can't change the wallpaper. It will only allow the Htc default or a Live Wallpaper. I tried reflashing the rom and this cleared up the memory problem but the wallpaper issue remains.
Any suggestions?
3.0.x? Aren't they already in 3.1.x? Also, why make this if the official thread has its own FAQS?
The reason i posted on here was because i couldn't post on the dev thread and even after searching through the thread i couldn't find a problem similar to my own. The problem has sorted itself out now, seems like it just needed a little bit of time to bed itself in.
The Android Revolution Thread has it's own FAQs in the first post....
member under 10 posts cant post in Development forum.
I've tried 3.63~3.65 with both Faux 0.24br7 and bricked 1.5 and battery life has been horrible. The one thing I noticed is even though the phone is suppoedly sleeping, the display is still draining.
[Q] Words with Friends Notifications showing in "Ongoing" section of system tray
Let me start by saying that we have two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones on Verizon Wireless running Android Jellybean 4.1. One of the phones has this problem and the other does not. The problem started happening last night (about 3 days after the upgrade to Jellybean). To date, I have tried clearing the program data, uninstalling, reinstalling and the problem persists.
Here is the problem. When I have a few scrabble (Words with Friends or WWF) games going and it is my turn, WWF shows a message at the top saying "You have N moves to play" where N is the number of games waiting on my play. That notification then shows in my "Ongoing" notification section of the system tray. This is annoying because A: I cannot dismiss the alert, B: it's ugly, C: my other phone does not have this issue.
The ONLY way to dismiss the notification is to turn off notifications on the game itself, which I don't want to do. Or, I could (of course) make a move on all games waiting on my turn....What should happen is the game should cause a standard system notification when someone else makes a move. Then I can either select the notification or dismiss it...it SHOULD NOT always show how many moves I have.
Each phone is running the exact same version of WWF and Jellybean. On my other phone, when I have games waiting on my play, WWF does not display an alert to tell me how many moves I have.
What gives?

I worked with the words with friends support and they could not resolve it. Since I first wrote the original post the only change that has occurred is that my phone has the same problem as my wife's. I eventually disabled all notifications from the game..... So annoying!
They never cleared this up. I have two devices (Nexus 7 and Sprint Galaxy S3) that have this problem. Both devices are running on CyanogenMod 10.1-- Android version 4.2.2 and on neither device can I just clear the notification for Words With Friends. What allows an app to have persistent reminders?

Wish I knew...Once I disabled the notifications, I ended up losing games because I didn't know that someone made a move (for a while I was going into the game daily to check but that got annoying)...so my last resort was to uninstall the game.
I have the same problem, I keep hoping that each update would fix this...

I think that is how it supposed to work with the new version of the game. It does it on my S4 as well.. I'll see an icon in the task bar and then when I open the notification area it shows there to as well.

The problem is that it's not consistent with all devices. So either something is wrong for us or Zynga messed up their programming. We know that the official update added ongoing notifications, but not for everyone

I tried installing an older version of the game (5.7.0), and the new persistent notification style is still here. I feel like they are pushing that notification to our devices no matter what version...

I recently posted a few different times a query about the following problem in specific developers threads the kernels of whom I had experienced the sams problem. I made a few people frustrated because I didn't let it alone that noone was responding there. I havs come to find that it is the same on any kernel change and furthermore is the same with the stock rooted deodexed rox with stock kernel i am running now.
To save time I am going to paste here and edit from one pf my posts from the other threads....
........
I posted the question a couple of months ago if anyone else was experiencing issues when NOT JUST USING SCREEN MIRRORING, which works just fine for me, but when using screen mirroring & then employ an video streaming app (OTHER THAN YOUTUBE) like NETFLIX or hULU or HBO GO. I am getting an issue where I get sound across the stream but no video except the progress bar and volume controls. otherwise it is black screen. the menus even work fine for selecting a video but once it loads it is black, also if using HULU there is a 5 second video that introduces what series you are watching before the program starts. this will run with video but nothing but black screen +controls when program starts.
Does anyone else experience this after rooting or software modding. I am running as close to stock as I care to n920tuvs4dph2 stock deodexed rooted with stock kernel.
Next I will be reying stock with auto root. But I love some of these kernels out there and I am also inclined to keep a backup of the stock for when I want to mirror and flash kernel when I don't. But a fix would be nice.
I of course lost mirroring altogether when flashing current rom but a single line of build.prop editing rmedied that, but when trying to stream a netflix video ... BLACK.
PLEASE TEST THIS IF YOU HAVE THE TIME!
If you do not have a samsung TV or a Roku on which to test this then I encountered identical problem when trying to stream from a paid service to my laptop when using sidesync. Which I believe most anyone can test.
I would greatly appreciate your feedback on this and remember that all other elements of screen mirroring work fine except this. Alos streaming from You Tube works with video.
This particular feature fail has plagued me during whatever Spears changes i have made
Also please let me know which model phone (mine is Note 5 Tmo) you are using''
Thank you soooo much in advance!!!!
Found an answer HERE I had come across the fix of disabling hdcp in build.prop but didn't know own what it really meant. Basically hdcp is DRM or copyright protection and when you alter your stock software the apps that use hdcp will not function properly. There is no current or expected fix.
