Just got my Atrix 2 a week ago and read about Google movies blacklisting rooted devices. I just found out today that the Att movies app is doing the same thing when I couldn't log in and view movies on the app.
Is there a temporary work around for rooted devices to fix this problem yet?
wow thats new and that sucks lol. Use a different app such as netflix or hulu hmmm what movies are you trying to watch?
Trying to rent new releases. I have Netflix and hulu already and I use them quite often, but I was looking for a way to rent and download movies. I heard there is a Google video market modified app out there that removes the root check. Maybe that's the way I should go.

Be carefull about using that wording around here...
What you are looking for is an app that has been "modified" to allow root access.
Talking about "cracked" applications is something totally different, be VERY careful how you word things around here, because the Mods do not allow talk of cracked or warez applications.
You might want to change your last post to a little different wording. Not trying to be a jerk, just saying.
Thanks. I fixed it.

For those who haven't seen the news that the Netflix apk was taken from the LG Revolution system dump I thought I'd provide the apk for anyone wanting it.
I'm assuming this isn't a violation in anyway, but if so I apologize.
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/03/1...cation-pulled-from-lg-revolution-system-dump/
For those wishing to follow the development of this app on a general Android level I'll include the appropriate thread. Also I will try to provide updates as they come along, but if someone else catches it first let me know and I'll change the OP accordingly.
UPDATE (03-15-11): Now included is the DRM apk found within the LG Revolution. Credit given to cheebahawk over on the EVO forum. Also it is very likely this this will be a no-go given the DRM issue, but I have confidence that those who want this will try their hardest.
UPDATE (03-24-11): Attached is the new apk (com.netflix.mediaclient-2.apk) that auto-updated and included streaming on 03-23-11. However, Netflix has since shutdown streaming again. The attached files may still be useful.
UPDATE (03-27-11): Netflix has since completed shutdown access to their system from the Android app. Users are no longer able to access any functions of Netflix service.
UPDATE (03-28-11): Netflix has turned the service back on, so back functions have been restored. However, streaming is still a no-go.
Thanks man. Too bad we can't stream anything yet. The guys in the Evo thread have been trying to fix this problem and I hope they do.

Does it download anything?

Mainly just the ability to edit your Instant Queue. Also once Netflix has the service up it "should" stream

If you'd actually read, it's not working. They are working on it so give it time. It's from a completely different system so it isn't hard to understand why it doesn't work.

From my understanding of all that has been said about the Netflix app and what Netflix has said in the past, it requires a phone with a chip that has DRM baked in, so the chip in the Incredible and Evo isn't new enough and will not work unless they hack the app and bypass the DRM requirement. (Which begs the question of whether the phone can manage the DRM via software and keep up)

Mine works minus the streaming which is understand. I can view and search and edit my queue however.If I attempt to stream it says it could not contact the service and kicks me out to the main screen.
When I use it (streaming), it just loads, and loads, and loads.... no error anymore, it did at first, but now it just loads forever....

Any word on an update on this? I think its netflix side on this based off the not able to receive info from server error and the netflix site saying Android (obsolete) under list of devices. Once the service goes live I think it should work.

Then I screwed up and got excited about the google movies and download the new google video's. Rented Battle LA and started to play. then BAM... "cant access this video with a rooted device"... What a bunch of horse ****!!!.. I really hope someone figures a way around this.
THe DRM coding is what keeps it from running. not even sure how you would go about tricking it into thinking you have DRM

Well, I'm a newb when it comes to most of that. I just hope one of the many great dev's can tear into the .apk and figure out a way to mask the app from see that the device has root access.
I have no desire to steal or pirate movies. Just wanna watch an occasional movie on my tweaked phone yeah know.
They should be happy we arnet pirating the movies. Who cares if we root if we are paying

Had the same issue. Just went in to app manager and cleared data on the market app and rebooted the phone for good measure. Once the phone booted up I acceptef the market t&c and went back to my apps. Still could update so I just left it alone. A few minutes later I noticed the app updates available icon in the notification area and clicked on it. Once I selected the app that need to be updated it gave me the opotion to update, instead of open, or uninstall.
Dunno if I like the ui...kinda hard to navigate and find stuff.
It sure is a major change, almost wp7ish.
Guess I will get used to it.
All credits goes to huntken and Alex9090 i'm just posting here. Works on my g2x. I'm running CM7.
Directions:
1. Delete Hulu Plus if you have it installed already.
2. Delete any backups you may have of it in Titanium Backup.
3. Get Titanium Backup if you don't already have it.
4. Download this file here: and unzip it, there will be 3 folders in it.
5. Place all 3 folders in the sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder
6. Launch Titanium Backup and restore the backup.
7. Enjoy?
PLEASE NOTE: You can't use "Ad Free" or anything that modifies hosts for this, or the videos won't load.
Thanks man, appreciate having this app. I assume we should avoid updating this app, correct?

Hulu Plus is not free. Its 7.99 amonth. Hulu non plus is free. All hulu plus mainly gives you is stuff new within aweek. It also gives you some stuff that is really old that hulu makes you go to the shows website to watch.

I have extracted the Amazon Instant Video app from my Google TV device. It opens on the Note 8, you can select videos, but on trying to actually stream the video you selected, it crashes. If there are any talented people on this forum who want to try playing with the .apk file to see if they can fix it, or if there's someone willing to host this file, let me know and I will email it to you.

You would also need to get the Flash enabled version of GTV Chrome working, since that is really what the app relies on.
EDIT: At least that is the case on the Sony NSZ-GT1. If it is different for your device, I'll have a look, but from what research I have done, it is not an easy task & it will involve a few modifications that will not sit well with other apps or the Play Store.
Post it up though, I just got my dev environment setup on my new machine & the missus will be out of town this weekend.
Unfortunately you're right. The Google TV Chrome app will not install on the Note.
There doesn't seem to be a way to post files through the XDA app, but I can email them to whoever wants them.

Well, I have to report that I have had little luck getting this to work on any non-GTV device. I even built an AOSP build with using a GTC boardconfig. No luck.
I am very pissed with Amazon though, so I went & bought a LTE KF HD 8.9 & I am going to play with getting it working on other tablets. Man I hate the Kindle stock experience. Thank goodness for root. I'll let you know if I find a simple way to get it running, but it will take some time as business is wicked crazy right now.
Any luck?

Yes & no. I have firstly been playing with the Nexus 10 & the KF HD 8.9. I was able to finally get AVOD to work on the Nexus 10, BUT, *BUT*, I essentially had toport the entire KF rom to the Nexus 10. It is buggy & there are some graphical & resolution issues, but it worked.
The only other instance I have found was also similar. A guy got it working on a Galaxy Tab, essentially doing the same thing, porting the whole KF rom.
You could of course use a different launcher, but it is still ICS, 4.0.3, & aside from losing a lot of the N10 cool features, it really is far from stable. I don't have a lot of time for this stuff at the moment, work is crazy busy these days. At any rate, I am going to see if I can try to go about it the other way & try to port some of the KF framework & core apps to JB when I get some time. Right now though, it is a no go.
Does anyone know how to get Amazon videos to play on the 10.1?

Screenshot or it didn't happen.
Amazon has instituted the Adobe DRM & also added Silverlight as a requirement for streaming. This is to prevent work-arounds & currently (for the last several months) Amazon Videos will NOT work on Android phones or tablets period. There are a few browsers the do server-side rendering & it will sort-of work on those, but the quality is crap & the lag/stutter is unbearable.
Amazon's stance is that you either need to buy a crappy Kindle, or wait for them to finish extorting licensing fees from Google, the OEM's & your carrier. There have been numerous threads about this issue, which affects many platforms, all over the web.

Works for me on the Note 10.1 with Flash Player installed and Dolphin Browser. It seems a bit smoother than using the stock browser.
I'm able to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer on the stock browser, but as you can see, the quality isn't all that good. I don't mind though because it's not that bad, either. I attached my own screenshot in case you wanted another example of the video quality.

Install the .63 flash from the Adobe Android Flash Archive. They fixed the DRM issue several weeks ago. With AOSP browser, you can even watch HD in desktop mode.
Or install from here.
