Netflix on mesmerize

I saw in another topic where someone said they could trick Netflix into installing on the mesmerize. Which rom would I need to install to do this.
Thanks

With roms like pick n pack and heinz 57 I've gotten netflix to open but not play anything... seems like the newest version won't even open....
However, with MIUI it opens and plays without any trickery involved... you can even get off the android market if you are running MIUI.

Pretty sure it works in the cyanogen mod mtd as well

The definitive answer? You basically need a gingerbread based rom to run it. It won't run on froyo based ones.

I was able to watch Netflix and Stream Media via DFGAS's latest Miui Rom. I am currently watching Iron Man 2.

Also working on CM7, as someone else said.
You can't download the app from the market, though. You need to download the apk...don't remember where I found it, but search around on here. The apk files have been posted in a few locations.
Annoying pop-up saying there's a new version, but it doesn't pop-up while playing, only while browsing.
Quality is excellent via WIFI.

Working on CM7 with one of the modded version from the netflix thread on the general android apps section. No annoying popups, just streaming goodness.

I'm running Heinz 57 v1.2 and have no problems with netflix. No popups, and it streams like a dream. I didn't realize there were problems with netflix on the mes, as I am almost certain I downloaded and ran netflix from the market when I first got the mes about 2-3 weeks ago when it was stock.

Skype Video Chat Working HTC EVO

This is a working skype video chat for the HTC EVO 4G
I installed this on five different Evo's and can confirm this app works! It might not work on 2.2 roms, but I've tried it on 4 different 2.3.3 roms (Fresh, Kingdom, Synergy, Philly Finest) give it a shot and don't forget to hit thanks if I've helped you!
If for some some reason you get phrasing error try downloading from a different browser, or try downloading from a computer and not your mobile device, but it should install without problems. If you have skype installed already please uninstall first!
There's two options for getting this app download here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7UA987T6
ZIP
They have released an offical version in the in the android market, its version number is 2.1.0.46, I will keep the original link up for those who want it.

Works great... just flashed on virus kingdom rom... and no complaints... thank you

just wanted to ask if all the problems that existed with the old skype still exist with this version?? mainly the battery drainage battery and the app not closing out like it should.

very nice ty ty

1+ Thanks here!

Well for all my video chat apps like, qik, tango, fringo, and skype, I go to running apps and kill the process, do this if your app will not close, I have never had to but that should close the app, now remember that you can also configure the settings with-in the app itself too. Optional= make sure in skype setting that close immediately is checked, uncheck skype status in notification settings, and probally uncheck sign in automatically.

Havn't used skype in a while. Has anyone tried this on android 2.3.4 (evo-deck rom)

I am on CM7 Nightly 141, and I can get video of them, and we can talk to each other, but they cannot see me. I tried both front/back cameras and got nothing.
It's Android 2.3.4. I'm running SZ CFS SBC enabled kernel.

Not working for me. I see my video come up when i call someone but as soon as they answer the video shuts off.
Edit: it works. Had to update my skype on my computer.

just tried using this on CM7 7.0.3.1 and I was able to see the person clearly...but my cam was blank...I couldnt see myself and they couldnt see me either....any suggestions?

Im not sure why it's not working, try clearing the app data, uninstall, reboot phone then install app again, I only tested it on the four roms listed in the the op, I havent used cm7 in a few months now, I've been switching between virus and synergy! Try the uninstall method first, if that doesnt work then try flashing a sense 2.3.3 rom!

I found a thread on the CM forums that linked me to a working version. I will post the .apk tomorrow if anyone wants it.

Hopefully that link works. I'm currently running CM7 Nightly 143 (I believe it's 143), and I was video chatting with a friend with no issues for about an hour. Didn't notice any crazy barry drop either. Using RAM optimization script and the SZ CFS Kernel. Let me know how that works for you.

Getting a parse error. Should I be able to just install it from the file manager, or do I need to install it some other way?

It should install normally with a file manager. Let me get off my ass and upload it to Mediafire. Lol It may have been a bad upload.

unless its a phone specific app (like netflix or something which only works on some phones) you should be able to sideload it (install the .apk directly from your sd card) and it'll work fine

If I had the apk I would share it, it is device specific as well

don't know if its the most up to date one but here it is, give it a shot... i don't know if our Charge build.prop files were modified to copy the Nexus S like on the Fascinate, thats how we got around problems like this on that phone

meh you might be out of luck then.. what rom are you running? you may want to pm a dev like imnuts or Kejar or someone with more knowledge of android coding than me and ask whether its possible to edit the build.prop files to mimic a supported phone like the Nexus S so the market thinks you have that phone... I don't know whether this has to do with the rom, the kernel, or the market/app itself

Im good, not a neccessary app. Im running ee4 eclipse. Ill wait until they support the charge I guess

Just change your build.prop file and u can get it straight from the market... Search here on the forum for detailed instructions

Netflix on ICS rom

Has anyone stumbled on a rom that is ICS for g2x that has working netflix.

There are no ROMs that exist just yet -- I've used both EB's ICS and HFS. Video is broken, be it camera, or games.

I use HellFire Sandwich 1.6 right now and Netflix works on it just fine.
I've also tried Eaglesblood and it worked on there too. But imho HellFire is better overall.

Hardware Acceleration doesn't work at all on any ICS rom from what I understand. So our G2x will have trouble doing a lot of things as of now.I can't wait to get rid of this ****ty phone.

I have tried about all recent updates to ICS roms and no, netflix doesn't work as of yet, at least for me. And this phone has actually been good to me so ease off of her! Lol.

Read Hellfire's change log, media acceleration was recently added. Netflix has been working for me on Hellfire for awhile now, at least 2 or 3 weeks. I can also watch videos on the SD without a problem, just cant use the stock video player, download one off the market. Hulu has never worked for me on any ICS rom. Also when i first installed Hellfire i could not get Flash player to work, so i used a backed up copy I had of flash and its been working ever since.

Yeah HF 1.6 works with Netflix. At least it has been for me. Got it straight from the Play Store, latest version (though it worked for weeks before that anyway). You could try two things. Within ICS, go to developers in settings and turn on Force GPU Acceleration. And the another is to Try using Nullifier to make sure you don't have any remnants of old conflicting files (CAUTION: that will delete everything you have except your external SD. Flash a new rom before turning off the phone after nullifying.) Worth a shot I'd say. Just careful and make sure u always backup.

Will try hell later and report back.
And for the google guy. Netflix was not mentioned on any thing that I searched. I did search stop be a trying.

Nope

I can't wait to get rid of this phone either, but at least running a new ROM it's halfway decent and usuable. Once my contract is up, though, I'm off T-Mobile. Not impressed with their service.

As far as I know Netflix doesn't work on any ics for g2x. Last I tried was HFS 1.5. I had video recording, playback, browser flash and YouTube working great, but no Netflix. 1.6 came out on Easter, 6 days ago, and the zip auto wipes, thus can't be flashed over 1.5 without having to resetup your phone. I used hfs since 1.1 n flashed each new zip over the preceding one without wipes or any issues. When 1.6 wiped me out and had lame star on unlock I switched back to cm7 nightly 225 before checking Netflix. I would love a confirmation that it works on 1.6. Anyone that says they've had it working for weeks is probably lying, or mistaken.

[Q] Video Recorder forceclose!!!

Using the most recent Hellfire Phoenix Rom I am getting camera force closes often and all the time when switched to video recording. What's up with this? I've tried the LG cam.zip also...same thing...
I've got the same setup on two G2x's and this is only the case with one. Would the best thing be to re-flash? I was hoping there might be another way because the one that needs the help is my work phone and I hate having to set it up completely each time I install a ROM or whatever.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance...and I would have used the development thread for this but I have less than 10 posts currently. I normally don't have issues or anything that I can't figure out myself with search or my skills. LoL.

I told this to someone else earleir and this might also be the case. Every phone despite being developed the same may not work the same. For example, not everyone knows but there are 4 models of the g2x. Not all roms are compitable with every version. I would suggest looking up the version you have and bringing that to the attention of the developers. And yes, by the way, you can access the development thread and you can post on them. Most of the responses for bugs are people with less then 10 thanks. As far as a fix, I don't know. Look through the thread for your rom and see if anyone claims this issue. If so, there should also be a fix somewhere in there. If not, let the dev know so they look into it. Again, MAKE SURE YOU LET THEM WHAT MODEL P999 YOUR USING!! As for where to find that, I'm not sure. I know 2 of them are the lg p999DW and the lg p999DWP. Theres 3 others but I don't know how to tell which they are. If i figure it out I'll let you know.
Edit: under the battery cover. Not under the battery though. Right below the bottom of the battery next to the screw youll see it in white print.
Edit 2: Kinda curious, which rom version are you using?

LG-P999DW is what both phones read.
I'm using the Hellfire Phoenix ROM (excellent btw).

ya i must have read that too fast and just put it together as both phones aren't working... the only thing i would suggest is just a simple reflash of the rom, no wiping just reflash it. if not then proper wipe and flash, if not that then nandroid back to a rom you were positive the phone's videocam was working.
