[DEV][APP] Netflix Updated 03-28-11

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.

If it can't stream then what's the point of having it?
Does it download anything?

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

Cant Wait for this! Should Be on the Thunderbolt as well if I remember correctly

The app keeps on FC'ing on my phone with CM7-RC1...sucks.

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.

Like many already posted, i have it installed on my rooted incredible. Again you can manage your instant que only. When you try to stream you get the "1005 error." Excited to see what the Devs. can do!

Seems like they're waiting for the service to actually go online. Only so much you can do with a non-available service :/

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)

How nice of you to say, but some Inc users have been getting it to work. I understand it doesn't stream, but it closes after I login. I was just telling other people for reference.
Geeze...

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.

Android Market 3.4.4 - Notice a speed boost

Just curious, does the new Market seem a lot faster for you guys too?
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/12/14/download-android-market-3-4-4/
Just download and install. No root needed either. Seems much better. Also looks better on my Tab than the older version.

Nice. Can't wait to check it out later.

How do I install this? Should I manually push the apk with root explorer for it to work? I tried regular install but it doesn't install.
Update: I manually pushed it with root explorer and it worked. Thx for the tip.
sent from my CommandCenter using xda premium

I would push/replace, clear dalvik and reboot.

I just installed like any other apk... No problem
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I simply downloaded it... clicked on the completed download... then had the option to install... went straight to the market and checked the version, no issues at all.

Renamed and pushed no problem. Def faster.

I hope this fixes the "insufficient space" bug on our phones.

Noticeably faster for me.

when it comes to the market, it only updates when it's open. it's the only app that does it that way. all other apps will show in the notifications. if I'm wrong, please let me know, but I don't think that's the case.

How do you know that this is the ONLY app?
But anyway, my point is if Google can do it on Android platform it does not matter with one app or many.
PS: off-topic, Google Map subscribes to bunch of intents, so it would be launched when you turn-on screen, WiFi etc... I would like start application when I press app icon... There are no other way to opt-out other then disable Map in pm.

Google maps can be stopped by using the app autostarts. All those apps that start by themselves when you do something, ie reboot phone connect to wifi ect... no longer plague me. True, I just delete most of them, but there are some I actually use (like maps and Gmail).
Unfortunately I can no longer find the exact app I use in the market, though I'm sure there are others that do the same thing. If anyone would like the apk for the one I use just let me know and I can post it next time I'm on my laptop.

Autostarts is a paid app in the market.
If you found the developer posted it for free on XDA, please link to that... otherwise this breaks XDA rules.

[APP] Android 2.2.1 Launcher("Froyo")

Here i present to you the original, complete and unabridged android Froyo launcher. works, and looks like the real thing. its system name is: com.android.launcher so it is legit. i don't take any credit for it because i did not make it. i simply found it on filecrop.com named launcher2.apk
It is in .rar format, its compressed inside of it. so please get either the unrar app for your android, or get winrar archiver for your computer if you haven't already.
How to use: once app is installed, get a launcher changer of the android market, clear the defaults, and press the home button as your default. if it does not work, i am not responsible but i have been using it for couple months now and it works fine so don't be scared.
Have at it, and enjoy!

oh ya, forgot
PLEASE THANK IF U LIKE
the other android froyo launchers that you find on these forums dont work (for lg optimus one series and most other phones), already tested them out.
PLEASE REPLY AND GIVE FEEDBACK ON WEATHER OR NOT IT WORKS, AND DESCRIBE THE EXPERIENCE OF USING IT.

It works on my sense 3.5 Rom .

Did u not have the stock group, it was replaced by HTC, just like LG put LG home on mine and got rid of stock.

"Suggesting" is not the same as "advertising". You're clearly doing the latter. And that's not allowed

OK u know what, drop the subject, if u just want to pick a fight go outside and punch someone in the face. But putting a link on the signiture and suggesting is a form of advertising. Or do you not understand that. Clearly, it seems you do not.

Does it exist? App to use Xperia Play controls on tablet.

Is there an app that will allow you to use the Xperia Play physical gamepad on other Android devices like a tablet?
I've seen a lot of remote control apps but they are only for controlling using buttons on the touchscreen.
It would be best if it didn't require root.

Check a post of that in this section

It puts Xplay controls on the screen of the phone, so if your tablet has a game that supports Xperia Play you can use that. As of now it doesn't map the physical controller inputs.

Maybe trying with the game keyboard app and this one??

Doesn't droidmote server work? It needs root and isn't free but surely if it doesn't work you could get a quick refund? i don't have root and i'm still looking. Tablet remote seems to be the best so far. If only the developer updated it to make it work with the physical buttons...

Amazon Instant Video app from Google TV

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.
