this feels like an early xmas
Just saw the same article and came over to XDA to make sure they knew YAY!!
I'm so excited for Gingerbread on the Aria
Quick Question, when a DEV gets working on this, how long typically to ROMS take to get to a beta or v1.0 stage?
We are going to be working with cyanogen to bring gingerbread to the aria. There will be no Liberated rom for gingerbread because I doubt htc will make gingerbread for the aria. Since htc version uses their own sense software we have no way to port gingerbread to htc version. Cyanogenmod 7 hasn't been started yet. So there is no eta at this point.

Let's not derail this thread based on the version of Android OS.. Android OS version is not the issue.. it is the HTC Sense version that is incompatible.
I have verified Netflix works with many GB based ROM for the Evo (Sense 1.0, MIUI, CM7, Decks, Stock AOSP) EXCEPT Sense 2.1 and above I haven't found one of these that it works on.. (Shift Ports, the Kingdom ROMs etc)
@skydeaner have you made any progress on determining if it is possible to get it to run on Sense 2.1 and above? I am running Evolved Shifted RC1.1 and really enjoying it, but can't make it my daily driver until Netflix is working on it.

+1 on that bro
Is it possible this will be cleared up for us when the OTA Gingerbread update for the Evo goes through on June 6th? (See news on Engadget and confirmed by Sprint)
I know that the Netflix apps compatibility was not universal, but a major update like that should move Netflix to quickly update the app to be compatible, especially considering that the Evo was one of the launch units for the app.
Of course, it could also be an inborn issue with the leaked 2.1 that all the Sense Gingerbread Roms are based on that would actually need a fix, at which point the OTA won't help anyone... But that's for smarter people then I to fix.
It works on virusrom gingersense with sense 2.1

Have you flashed anything special to get it working? I ran that ROM for a while and it never worked for me.

It would appear that virusrom gingersense is based, at least in part, on sense 3.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036706) which may be the reason it works. The Netflix issue seems to be specifically with sense 2.1 which was based on a leaked version of the Evo's official gingerbread build (which should be available as early as today in its OTA form).
I wonder if someone else with more knowledge would be able to isolate which part of sense 3.0 is compatible with Netflix that isn't compatible with 2.1 and be able to port that component over to all the 2.1 builds to enable Netflix. Or if the simple availability of the official 2.1 from the OTA will enable the Netflix issue to resolve itself...

I used a few of Virus's Sense 3.0 ROMs (actually I used all the beat releases he put out) and Netflix didnt work on any of them for me. i tried the stock apk and both modded ones. no dice on any of them. strange.

You are correct in that I am speculating. However, considering that the sense 2.1 being used in all these Roms was from the leaked gingerbread for the Evo, I'm assuming that HTC/Sprint didn't abandon 2.1 in this final OTA version. Although they very well may have...

Thanks s0calstate0fmind for clearing that up. Could you confirm what version of Sense the OTA is going out with?
It would seem from this page of peoples experiences with the OTA that the Sense version is 1.0 mixed with certain elements from 2.1. Unlucky for us, it seems that the elements from 2.1 that they chose to include were the same ones that don't work with netflix, as people are reporting that the app has stopped working for them.

The race is on now to see who fixes the issue first, the awesome devs here at xda or the HTC/Sprint/Netflix folks....

If that is true how come it doesn't work on the OTA update from today which is running Sense 1.0?

Haven't tried on the official OTA (obviously because at the time of my post only the "Leaked" version was available) I did try it on the stock rooted leak version of the GB release (from TMartin I believe) and it did work for me.
It is official however that the GB OTA Update broke NetFlix on the EVO. NetFlix is aware of the issue and has removed it from the Market and expect a fix in the "near future" (their words).

I'm sure you've heard already, but the OTA is Sense 1.0, but hopefully the devs can work with the official Kernel to work some magic on the Sense 2.1 GB ports..

My wife is watching a movie on netflix now on the TV so I can't test the upgraded netflix app's streaming (we can only stream on one device at a time...). Can anyone confirm if this did indeed fix the issue either with the OTA (sense 1.0 with some 2.1 elements) or the leaked Gingerbread based sense roms (running sense 2.1 or 3.0)?
The Netflix app now lists Evo with 2.2 and 2.3 as compatible devices in the Android Market.
I'm on version 2.1 and have netflix

3.1 is still honeycomb. 2.3.2 & 2.3.4 are still Gingerbread. 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 are superfroyo but still based on froyo.

Ohh... Sorry about that
I recently did a factory reset on my Desire S. My Android version is 2.3.3, but I swear it was 2.3.4 before I did the reset.
I did a check for updates, but no luck & I changed my sim from a middle east one to an Irish one & still no update found...
The reason I noticed is that I was unable to make a Skype video call... Am I losing my mind? Does 2.3.4 even exist as an official Desire S ROM?
No.... ASOP Yes
