[Q] Xfinity Play Working on any GB - CM7 builds? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has gotten the Comcast Xfinity Play app working on any ofthe gingerbread CM7 roms. I haven't had any luck yet. It's running well on my rooted Nook Tablet and my Samsung Galaxy S4g (don't remember which rom it's running). It's also working on all of the ICS builds that I've tried. I would really like to get this running on GB!
EDIT - Well I had the day off and I played around with various builds. There does NOT to seem to be a CM7 rom that is capable of using this app. The funny thing is it doesn't ask for root access through SU the way it's suppose to so there is no way to choose deny. I even whent through SU and chose deny as the default preference and still no go. The app does however play flawlessly in every single ICS build that I've tried. There is more content on Netflix so I'm going to stick with gingerbread but it would be cool to see the app eventually work.
I wanted to edit this instead of deleting in case anyone else has the same question!

[APP] TV Shows Stream LITE

Hi,
We have been working on this app, is my fourth android app.
The aplication searchs over internet for tv-shows links capables to be played directly on your device, with full screen support using megavideo, frogmovz, karambavidz and other hosting services. The search resoult are shown in a intuitive and easy to use interface.
EDIT: This application is not available anymore.

Using Nerov3+voodoo
on wifi
While the interface of the app was very easy to navigate. Non of the the videos I tried to play from the few websites I selected would play. I picked monk and the x-files. I also tried multiples of the sources.
It basically opens a webpage and ask you to verify that you are human. Nothing happens for "me" beyond that.
Vibrant user..nerov3..no voodoo Dexter works fine !!
Will this ever support HDMI out for the EVO?
Try megavideo servers first
The best integration is when megavideo is used as stream server, it goes directly to full screen.
I have been watching X Files and Dexter without any problem on my HTC Desire.
Sounds Great I'm in
I purchased the full version. So far so good
I have not had any problems loading videos on the Droid Incredible. However, there seems to be a delay on the sound by about a second or two.
I downloaded the lite version and experienced it both on Prison Break and Lost.
Excellent so far when I use megavideo streams. Awesome that its got its always sunny - thats not even on netflix streaming!.
watching dexter on my nexus one running MircoMod777 Gingerbread V.19
havent tried any others yet but im sure most if not all work, theres alot of sources to choose from so dont start crying if the first one doesnt load up right away, its the lite version, deal with it
Can you add Fringe?
I m a fan.
Beauty! I bought the full version right away. Great app.
same here, great app but would like to suggest maybe an integration with tv show favs app, maybe. I see the bookmarks app which is good, also how often will these be update, are we looking at 30 mins after show aired?

same with me full version on EVO cm7rc0. I will try fresh ROM later.
Hi,
This app has not been tested with custom ROMs. If you experience problems try uninstalling the rom flash player and install flash player from the market before changing your ROM.
so far so good.....most likely will upgrade soon...........great work..........
AWESOME
Bought it right away. And I never buy apps haha

thanks for the great app
works flawlessly with cynagen only problem is that still no 4g only in alpha stage when done, it will be amazing, try to see if it will work on my nook.
Running Rod's latest MIUIMOD rom on my N1(running on base 12.31). I didn't even screw with the lite app, I went to the jugular and bought the app.
Watch a few mins of a show and works great! Thanks for the app!
Works fine on my Droid X. It's running Rubix 1.9.5.

Offical Netflix app released for us!!

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/12/netflix-releases-android-app-for-select-htc-phones-samsung-nexu/
And it works!
Edit: My current setup is a AMOLD dinc, running CM7 with 2.3.3. 16GB msd in to.
Download from market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient
Netflix is apparently blocking unsupported devices when you try to login, I uploaded the apk to my xoom to test it and it did not let me login.
I have the app and have not yet been able to get it to load. I just get a black screen.
However, I noted that the details on the market page state it is official for the Incredible running 2.2, and I'm running CM7.
Has anyone else tried with CM7?
Assuming there are indeed compatibility issues, I'm hopeful the devs will find a way to make it work, because I'm not looking forward to going back to stock, but I need Netflix.
(Actually. Right now, I'm thinking about loading up one of the dual-boot options with some stock Froyo. This is worth the effort.)
Edit: The dual-boot option is awesome and all... But then, I tried again in CM7, and I found that I spent a few hours heavily tweaking my phone for nothing but the thrill; the app works, and I was watching Ong Bak 3 in seconds. Since I don't need a Sense rom, I undid the dual-boot configuration.
So. Works on CM7.
Just saw this. Not showing up for me in the market. I assume its a CM7 thing.
Maybe we can find locate an apk.

Im getting the exact same thing on latest CM7 nightly

[Q] CM7 on SE Xperia X10 Mini Pro without Google account

Hi!
I installed slade87's latest CM7 ROM on my Mini Pro - thanks for the great work, I didn't try all too much, the UI feels really really snappy, and the GPS seems to work better than with the stock ROM.
However, I do wonder if I can somehow avoid having to enter a Google account on this ROM. The original ROM didn't require it (just for selected features), but the CM7 ROM doesn't even allow me to even make calls without a Google account.
I couldn't figure out if this is caused by CM7, or if it is an upstream Gingerbread issue. Maybe there is another ROM for the Mini Pro I should be looking at in order to avoid this problem?
Froyo CM6-latest works
Using the latest CM6 ROM I found, I didn't have that problem. The Google account is only requested for apps that actually need it. Is there any Android 2.3 ROM which works the same way?
worked for me i leave it till i want market as i can st up wifi first i do have net but wifi is faster i asume your using 14.5 as i am and its fine

My bad ... The CM7 layout was so large that the skip button didn't fit on the screen, and I missed it. Thanks for confirming it wasn't the ROM!

Text-To-Speech

Apparently this feature is acting up on other devices but was wondering if anyone had this working on their G2x and if so how did you manage to get it working?

What sort of issues are you having, and what ROM are you using? I had some issues with bluetooth and tts with CM7. I've switched over to EB 2.3.3, and all is working well.
Make sure you have everything you need installed.
Go to settings/voice input & output/text-to-speech settings/
If "Install voice data" isn't grayed out, click on that...it will take you to the market to download the voice engine.
I haven't noticed any problems with my tts, running my current ROM, but I also don't use Pico. I use Svox. It cost around $2-3 for the voice download, but it's much nicer than Pico.
Good Luck.
I'm running stock GB 2.3.3
I was hoping it would read text as they came in similar to the new WP7 Mango update but apparently the framework doesn't support that yet.
It takes me to the market, i download the application but then it uninstalls itself and shows that i have never downloaded the application before. I might install Faux123 rom and see if i can get it to work.

What app are you trying to d/l? I've never really tested out text message readers. I know Handcent will read the text, but IDK if you can set it to read as they come in.
I did test out Vlingo way back, and I must say...it was pretty good. I just don't like that it requires data usage (I'm on a limited data plan). But, for reading texts, Vlingo was pretty awesome. It even understood things like LOL (rather than say L-O-L, it would read it as "laughing out loud"). It even translated WTF, which of course made me laugh like a 12yr old kid.
I'm not downloading any. I was hoping the stock messaging application would do this as i kind of like the layout but sucks as far as security is concerned but that is an android thing.
I'll give the Vlingo a try and see if it works.
Thanks for the help.

[Q] SKY GO App - anyone with root have it working?

Hello, This post is intended for users where the following list of conditions below are true, although I'm obviously more than happy for any others to put in any input....
You own a Desire S
You live in the UK
You have a SKY TV subscription (or the house you live in does)
You have a SKY ID user login and have registered your device to access SKY Go
You have installed the SKY GO applicaton
Your device is rooted
You are running a GB based ROM (ie not ICS)
SKY have written then application so that it won't work on rooted devices, even though some people on other devices have managed to bypass this. Some users have had success in using the application OTA RootKeeper which backs up and then hides a devices root (su) - which out of interest will permit rooted users from successfully using Google Play (aka The market) for downloading and watching movies.
No matter what I do now, use the hide root (su) app which works fine, clear the data from SKY Go, de-install it and then re-install the app, when I put in my SKY ID credential I always get the following erorr "PIN Error You have entered an incorrect PIN" (see attachment for screen shot) even though there is no PIN to enter as part of the setup (its not related to my SKY box PIN as that is working fine and I've configured SKY Go to not require any age restrictions)
I would really love to resolve this as want to be able to watch Football from my wonderful device when I'm away from home, and I can't even consider returning my phone to stock in case anyone suggests that.
This application annoyingly hasn't yet been updated by SKY to function on any ICS ROMs.
This is the official link to the SKY Go App thread but is is multi device and therefore in excess of 50 pages with greater than 1500 posts mostly of people saying doesn't work on my device...so I thought I would trap up my local resources (eg you).
[APP] Sky Go for Android (UK ONLY)
As always many thanks to anyone that's even read this far , let alone who bothers to add anything....Cheers
Much as I'd love to help you mate, I'm kinda stuck. It turns out that you can only use Sky Go if you re a direct Sky customer - no use to me as I subscribe through my Virgin Media package. Bit peed-off at that discovery to be fair.
The app fires up OK on my Desire, but I obviously can't sign in. I'm going to chat to a mate of mine about 'borrowing' his Sky details so I can test it on my phone and I'll let you know if I get anywhere with it.

That would be much appreciated. When I first downloaded the Sky Go app I was able to log into it ok, but I was unable to access the channels through it (as the device was rooted).
At that point I had an entry in the Settings-> Accounts & Sync for Sky Go
If I now attempt to add the sky go account through settings add account, when logging in with the correct credentials (that work on the sky website) I also get the same PIN error as shown in the attached screen shot on post #1
it seems that since I've un-installing and re-installing the app (or it may have been auto updated by the market) I can't seem to get that account back as I get the PIN error on entering my sky credentials now, even though previously they went into the app without any issues.
Let me know if you get hold of your mates SKY details and that would assist greatly, this may be a non-starter but would appreciate at least one other person trying!
Thanks

Errhhgg!! bloody iBollox, unfortunately I know it works on that pile of ####...thanks all the same though.
For some stupid reason SKY have had an iPhone application for years and have only just realised that the majority of the world actually uses Android so have finally released a poor quality Android based application (which doesn't even work on ICS showing their real level of commitment and the degree in which they're taking Android seriously!)
My selfish prime concern - is all about rooted GB though, much appreciated that you're willing to try to give it a go though....Much Thanks

Ok, sorry for the late reply!
Believe me, it wasn't my choice on the iPad
I'm already frustrated with the lack of homescreen customization on it! And lack of utility apps (widgets, shortcuts etc)
Ok, didn't get a chance to try it on the Sky Go app, I can't find the bloody ID stuff, so instead I downloaded Google Movies.
This app requires you to NOT be rooted.
I ran the app first, and it came up saying I couldn't use it, as I was rooted...
Then I ran the app you said, and 'disabled' root. Then I ran Google movies, and it is working now! It's detected my device as unrooted! I didn't even reboot after 'disabling' or close the Movie app!
So, the app definetly works... But I couldn't test it on Sky GO, only Google Movies. But the sane theory should apply right? Maybe you could try it on Google movies? Then we can See whether it May just be sky Go not detecting.
Hope that is of some help!

Some screenshots if it helps!
1) I first ran play movies app
2) I used the app to 'unroot/disable root' the device
3) I ran Google play movies, and it worked!
Appreciate the effort Oly,
Unfortunately I'd already tried the un rooting and google market
Was just the sky id and sky go bit that I needed verifying
From home using your sky box which will show your viewing card number and other details that along with some personal stuff like name and address should enable you to get a sky id setup
In order to test sky go or no go as it's been for me
No hurry, thanks all the same
Fortunately my wife has an un rooted DS so I can use her phone if I need, but you know how it is, I want it to work on mine

I don't get the pin error so can't help with that.
I can open the app and view channels but they just buffer at 0% forever. With the exception of sky new which restarts the app.
I tried flashing a pre rooted stock rom and hiding root using voodoo and I was able to watch sky news but premium channels still didn't work. From reading the thread in the android application and games folder it looks like you need to edit the default.prop within the kernel as well as hide root.
I don't have a clue how to do this but I'm going to give it a go when I get time later! Hopefully we can get it working I'm surprised more people aren't working on this as it has the potential to be one of the best android apps out there
See this thread for details on the changes needed to the kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535688

Looks I have to use a stock based rom so have edited a stock rom just about to flash here's hoping it works!
A stock ROM that is a Bugger, I love Endy too much to move from it
Swyped from my DesireS
I know what you mean mate but for Sky Sports on my my phone I think I can live with it!
I have attached the modified boot.img if you want to try it I can confirm it is working for me using Hyperion V2.1 with the boot.img modified and root hidden using voodoo
Well that's well worth it, brilliant work.....THANKS
If only I hadn't recently deleted my old backup of that ROM, I suspect one may still be on my PC
I wonder how it checks to see if we're on stock? Did you see if it works on stock sense v3.0?
Is it worth editing the build.prop file and replacing values, in an attempt to fool it further? without having to switch bases?
When I get an opportunity (probably the weekend) I'll try that.
Swyped from my DesireS
I used Hyperion v2.1 and changed so.secure to 1 within the default.prop in the kernel.
Great Rom on its own anyway think i'll just stick with this until another solution is found.
Here is a link to download it from my dropbox. http://db.tt/VISCrZ2y
Let me know if you managed to get it to work on Endy!
Just hide root BEFORE you install the sky go app and it should work fine.
I am using CM9 but still cant get this to work I have tried hiding root and using the modded skygo but still no luck. really do not want to go back to stock rom.
I am guessing nobody has had any more joy with this?
