Netflix on ICS rom - T-Mobile LG G2x

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.

I've never really messed with ics yet because I figured netflix wouldn't work. Also never really tried to find out for myself either. Does it really work for some people?

All I can say was, I flashed ICS to try Netflix and it never worked for me, so I went back to WeaponG2x.

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.

I second it.
And thanks for the tips hadn't tried some of those options. I would try tonight but I just flashed last night :\ Does anybody know if Boot Manager works with our phone? That would be awesome.

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
No go on Hellfire

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.

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.

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.

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.

Netflix through hdmi?

Is there a way to make this work? I've switched to mikfroyo so that the ROM is a 2.2, and i also tried the HDMwIn app from the market...I can get videos from the SD card and YouTube to work, but netflix won't work properly...sometimes the sound will come out, but no picture...
Does anybody know a fix to this? I searched netflix hdmi, but it only pulled up some other ROM threads...

Try cm7 with hdmwin. Maybe there are drm problems
Having trouble with AOSP? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702
This is my wifes phone and she's not an aosp kinda gal, plus I think I tried cm7 on her phone a couple months back and something went wrong somewhere, can't really remember now...
Do you or anyone else have any other ideas? Could someone maybe send me their netflix.apk that is known to work with hdmi, maybe that could be the issue? Or maybe tell me how to fix whatever may be occuring, as long as I can do it over the phone, cuz my computer is a paperweight at the moment cuz of a cracked screen...

I am a noobie to things here, but i have been rooted for some time now and I do alot of reading to learn things from xda. I was also having this problem with both my wife and my EVO. Both are rooted and are running r3charged final. They both use golden monkey kernels. And the problem is in the kernel. So I did a lot of reading up on this, as i always do and found that chopsuye v.9.1.7 will allow you to use hdmi. I have tested it myself and its works the best. Hope this helped.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Could be a number of things really. My wife runs Synergy(Myn's) on 2.3 with the HDMwIn app and the recommended kernel and its perfect. When you first open the HDMwIn app it tells you to download some daemon add on, did you? When i tried without that it didnt work. Also, it recommends a custom kernel in the app t0o and even has a link. Thats the one i use and it works perfect. Keep in mind though that this is all on Android 2.3, maybe you should update.........
I actually had her on a 2.3 ROM and I downloaded the daemon and it did not work, but I didn't do the kernel because I noticed that the HDMwIn app said that it probly won't work on a 2.3, so that's why I switched to a 2.2, but i haven't done the kernel yet, that will be my next move, its just taking me a lil bit as her phone is not my priority...

I would suggest FEARMEde if you don't want the Bliss look. Hybrid is being updated tomorrow, FEARMEde has already been updated.
MikG is a close second.
Word of advice: mount "Data" in "Mounts" section of Amon Ra before flashing the kernel. Newer Sense ports are delicate with that for some reason. I always do it now.
Edit: Hybrid and FEARMEde are both updated now. And they are awesome.

Is there an 'Use Internal Memory' option like there is in CM7? I don't have an SD card, so it cause some issues.

I haven't tried this, but yes CM 9 has almost everything working except media encoding and decoding.
I am running the latest CM9 beta from Arcee. Data, wifi, GPS, everything works except for the camera, and video play back isn't working.
Also, I tried connecting to T-Mobile manually, though still no data.
I'm not sure how data wouldn't work if this is based off of CM9. Since it does work on there.

im pretty sure it would have to be fixed on kernel for miui, since this is not based on a similar port device (Nexxus S), we will probably have to wait for o2x official miui v4 build. unless a workaround can be found before that. but for now no data, and i know what works or what docent on cm9. il keep ya posted

[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.

Umm....no. Youtube works on all ICS roms currently available, although I suppose it is possible AOKP somehow broke it by accident on their latest version.
