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.

Hmmm, isn't that what I said?

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.

Whooaa, quoted the wrong person. But yea that was my experience ^

Thanks guys. So ginger bread rom it is for me. So I have been reading on mumi and cm7, which one is running the most stable? I have read that the mumi rom isn't as stable on the mez yet as the cm7 is. I need my phone to work as get this..... as a phone most of the time hahaha.
Once again thanks

rofl...mumi? Didn't read much, did you? It's miui. they're both stable, miui is more actively updated, thanks to andmer and dfgas, unfortunately jt1134 is working more or less alone on getting cm7 for mes/sc. lmartin92 has started getting some showcase stuff done, so we'll see in the future.

Netflix works fine for me on MIUI. Downloaded from market.

Market version updates failed...however, uninstalling, restarting and reinstalling worked.
Must've been BC I was using another device's apk...?
Running just as smoothly as the other.

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.

Old thread is old

Chrome for Android

Can anyone access Chrome Beta for Android (4.0) from the market? I'm running Kindle Zone, but it's not showing up. If anyone has downloaded it, can you post a link?
thanks much!

http://www.mediafire.com/?iu3mpcbdzrwbdez
On both my htc desire and kindle fire, it doesn't work though, showing a blank white screen when pages load. I think it is due to lack of ha on both ics builds.

thank you so much! I'll give it a try!

it works for me!
edit, no it doesn't. I see program and all the settings and everything, but it doesn't display pages.

F*ck it. Worth a shot. Downloading now.
EDIT: No dice.

Same here. No Chrome on ICS.

Cant seem to get it work on cm7 either...

blank screen for me too. running kang 4.0.3 CM9 build that was downloaded yesterday.

The problem is HWA (as per my post in the ICS dev thread):
"EUREKA EUREKA, although many others have argued this viciously, full HWA is the problem for Chrome not working. My proof? The HTC Desire just received an ICS build with full HWA tonight, and suddenly Chrome is working. So now we know the problem, on to the solution!!"

got it running on EOS ics but looks like no flash support atm :-( or is it just me....

There will be no flash for chrome Android, only supports html5

someone worked in a chrome kindle Fire with CM9?

Yeah as far as I know it isn't working due to hardware acceleration, because my friend has an Incredible rooted running a ported ICS (no hardware acceleration), and he has the same blank page issue as we do on the KF. Hopefully we'll get HA soon...

Chrome Beta?

Not available to Skyrocket from Market.
But here's the APK. Gonna try it out tomorrow morning.

Sounds like you might need ICS though.
I should prolly read more of that thread before I install.

Ehh, I got a "parse" error when trying to install the APK.
Ohh well.

I believe its for ics 4.0

Check the chrome thread in the apps and games section of the general Android Dev/Hacking subforum. No one on gingerbread has it running yet.

Yeah, like I said...........

Chrome
So this doesn't work even on something like, say, Sky Ice?

No sky ics isnt ics. Only a giant theme.

Now working on the leaked ICS.
And.... it synced all my desktop Chrome favorites. No more having to use Chromemarks!
Seems to be pretty fast also.

Chrome is supposedly pretty buggy right now.

It has no flash though. That's a huge bummer.
Guess I'll just stick with Quick ICS Browser.

Ran it for a while on my Xoom but the no flash becomes annoying quickly

Works on the leaked Skyrocketed ICS build...

Hellfire ICS chrome question

Ok so I decided to give it a try and downloaded chrome from the market it and the only problem is that it won't open the tap part and automatically closes when I hit the tab button. Any solution to fix that?

Read the development thread. Though I don't believe that there has been a fix yet, as well, I'm under the impression that it's a problem with ICS, not just HFS.

the chrome browser only works if the device has hardware acceleration fully working. the ics roms that are out for g2x dont have a good working HWA so thats why it wont open or fc's

oh yes one of the best roms my fav its been pretty rough the past few months with miui but now that its about perfect im trying to shine some light on it!
once you go MIUI you never go back..lol

Yup, I tried going back to AOKP. I just can't. MIUI is too good.

I tried it about four days ago and too many things were not working.
Besides, anything based on ICS now is really smooth. So smooth doesn't exactly attract my attention anymore.
An "everything is working" phone is much more interesting to me.
Anything else is just fan boy stuff.

Yes. In fact I recommend it that you don't use dark side when flashing miui v4.

FYI for anyone not following the dev thread for MIUI: Netflix, YouTube and landscape video playback is still not working properly on this build. Doesn't really cause me issues since I rarely watch video on my phone. Logcats will help if anyone wants to hook it up and help out.
