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..
See Forum Page Below:

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

I just came from the HD2 so I'm still kinda new to the Inspire. With the HD2, each kernel was built from scratch specifically for the HD2 so there was never any question that a kernel from a different ROM would work. I know the Inspire and DHD are basically the same phone specification wise except for different audio drivers for the inspire, so my question is: Can I take any AOSP kernel for the DHD to flash directly to my Inspire running MIUI?
Yes I'm using lordmod on miui now

Thanks!! And I'm assuming I can do the same thing with ROM's also right?

Just try and see... Be sure to backup first.
I've had issues with some kernels not working quite right. The latest lordmod kernel i could not get to act right with Gingerbeast on my phone.
It's a trial by error. Some ROM's too.

Yes Nick is absolutely right. play around and see. every rom I have ever used from the dhd section has worked fine for me some just require you to flash an audio fix thats all. but yes for the most part all the dhd stuff is compatible. Just remember dont use an aosp kernel on a sense rom and vice versa
Cool, thanks guys. And I already made that mistake with the kernels. I tried flashing Leedroid kernel to the MIUI ROM. Everything booted up fine, but wifi gave an error when I tried to enable it. I think ill stick with lordmod anyway, since it seems to be the best all around. Thanks for the help.

you need to keep Sense kernels and AOSP/CM/MIUI kernels separated.
Does anyone know how to fix the MHL/HDMI cable problem with custom rom. It work perfectly on Stock Rom, but I can't use it on some of the custom rom.
What ROM are you using?
Yes, what rom are you using? I'm curious if you need a sense based rom for MHL hdmi output, or will other roms like CM7 also allow you to use MHL hdmi output?

It will only work on sense based roms and senseless roms on sense base. Cm7 and miui won't work with mhl adapter.
Just a side question what kind of mhl adaptor do you have?
Im on Android Revolution HD 3.6.5 and its not working, is there a special app you need or something? and the adapter is an ikross brand
I've tried with 3.6.5 and 3.6.7 and it hasn't worked at all. I'm going to try it tonight with 4.15. The only rom that I'm gotten it to work semi-properly with is Bulletproof 1.4.
I have found on the sense 4 roms the mhl adaptors don't work I have used both virtuous eclipse v1.0.0 and blue sensation one s v3 and v4. please help someone
As far as I know it currently won't work for any sense 4 roms.
It works for me flawlessly on virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2 completely stock, displays in 1080p24f, but your TV/monitor MUST support hdcp
Is it possible to flash a kernel from a Sense 3.0 ROM to a Sense 3.5 ROM? Would it work?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
For the most part kernels are compatible with both 3.0 and 3.5 there are some such as bricked 1.4 that are only compatible with 3.5 or visa versa. But ya those exceptions will be announced by the dev in his op. Which kernels were you thinking?
Im running RunnyDroid, I love it but the battery life is not so good any suggestions for a good kernal for this 3.5 rom?

I was running the PachaRX Kernel which is awesome and super fast but the camera doesnt work, I wonder if this is a (my device) issue or if this is something common out there. I did see some have issues with the same kernel and camera but I believe it was xxPachaRX Kernel II or something like that.
Would it be possible to use the to use the stock ICS ROM on the Sensation?
Just plain ICS like on the Galaxy Nexus...
Just noob question but I do like the look of my friends Nexus.
Virtuous Quattro is the closest you'll get right now.

ICS Rom for the Sensation 4G
Virtuous Quattro is a great ICS rom for the Sensation but i like OnceICS. It is in version 1.0.7z and it is running Android 4.0.3. The only issues i have is WiFi calling and I have had 1 random reboot.
does any of them support custom kernels yet
On all of the different ICS roms that I have looked at, SebastionFM's kernel is the only hacked kernel that is mentioned. However, it seems to have stability issues, especially on the 4.0.3 builds. So, it is pretty much recommended to keep the kernel stock.
Plus, they run pretty good stock anyways. At least insertCoin does, which is what I have used 98% of the time so far.
Hope I helped
Thank you to all who helped!
