Here are both the APK and the DRM files:

Anybody up for the task of managing to get the instant watch working on our incredibles? Everything else already works
Edit: $15 towards bounty if anyone else wants to
I'd definitely donate for this.
This only work on the Evo roms or will this work on anything for the incredible? I installed the apk but can't seem to get it working. What do I need to do with the DRM odex?
It only works on the revolution. This is a thread deticated to getting it to work on other phones such as the incredible.

Also, I'd gladly put 15 towards a bounty.
According to a post I read somewhere, the apk requires a processor that is netflix supported. So what I'm thinking is that there will either have to be a dirty hack to get it streaming, or a kernel mod to trick it into thinking it is running on the correct cpu. I have no knowledge as to how to do that, but just thought it made sense to throw that out there.

I got it working on mine now. Not the streaming obviously, but the other stuff works.
I'm not running revolution either.

our cpu is compatable, it has some sort of security that has to be built into the cpu and every snapdragon has it pre installed
this apk may not be compiled against our specific cpu so it might not work still but i do know thats why it wont
If you move on over the themes and app section, I already have thread going and will try and give update as I find them.
Would also donate for a fully working app.

Pulled this from the evo. Hope it works for you guys!! If not atleast get it ported!!
Thanks Jay! Just quoted you and posted it in my thread. Hopefully we can get this to work for us.

Just pulled the apk and can confirm it's not working for us YET!! Hopefully that'll change soon!!!
App installs fine. But it doesn't seem to stream the movies. It gets a little farther than previous apk files. It shows like the movie wants to play but then it goes back to main menu. Then something came up on my notification bar saying drm license required. I tried it both in 4G and wifi.
Hopefully it gets ported to the thunderbolt soon.
I know ya'll got some great dev's over here I've been keeping an eye! Lol

Same here, it was about to play, then stopped,drm license, closest I've seen it to actually streaming something though

Same here... actually started playing the starting movie intro sound then.... DRM...DAMMIT... hope something comes about soon
i can play about 5 seconds of audio (no video) then it goes back to the queue. it doesn't quit. it doesn't give me any error message about DRM.
Don't kill me over the piracy in technical terms of what i'm about to say but can we pull the DRM file from a Evo if it's a file, somehow merge it with the Apk like a Patch? or can we put it on our phone in the Drm location?
Those of you guys that have tried this on the T-bolt... what ROM are you on?
I know for Das Bamf they removed the DRM APK's that may be required to run this app. I think some other ROM dev's did this as well.
Are any of you on a stock ROM no de-bloat or anything? Maybe the DRM APK's that were taken out are all we need to get this running.
im on Das Bamf and get the DRM message
Same here... somebody from one of the other posts is supposedly stock rooted so it's not looking good without some dev work... only time will tell

No luck on VirusROM either. I don't get the DRM error, but it does start briefly then go back to the menu
T-Bolt Rooted Stock Sense, bloat removed with root explorer, same DRM issue. Something using Root explorer i noticed. In the Manifest there is a line of code saying Debuggable = false, if we change that to true, maybe we can have the app Debugg for us and it would help us find out what it's looking for?
i was running thunderrom and i had no streaming, I changed to CM7 and it would actually look like its gonna play. I did get sound but nothing played and it went back to the main menu after 5 sec

It's a HTC based app, doubt Moto would be supported on any device.

Just tested this and it's working on CM7 maybe you should give it a try?

Almost all the Netflix apk's work on CM7. Still doesn't work on froyo.

Ditto. No dice on BAMF 1.6.3 either.
Smh when is this app officially coming out?
Soon I hope. I also hope they don't put root detection on there like they did on the Charge with the Blockbuster app.
I would wager that without proper codec support the thunderbolt won't be seeing netflix until HTC gives us an update that includes the needed parts (or our friendly developers bundle them up for us).
Stonaged Dweller,
Please Netflix is working with all GB roms. GB will be required for Netflix, hence the reason it does not work on your thunderbolt and never will until it has GB.
/\ Dumb Assumption... SORRY /\
How do u kno that?

It runs fine on some phones with froyo, just they have the dependencies installed correctly for what it needs.
Agree- it is working onthe Incredible which is on Froyo.

read the thread located on the same page as this one. unless you know how to cross compile libraries for arm, you wont get very far though.
If your Netflix app wont update heres the APK go to XDA home page and select Android Hacking then choose the one about games and stuff and there it will be . Sorry cant post link maybe someone on a computer could help.
If i helped you please thank me
I just upgraded to gingered 0.07 and tried installing netflix, only to find out that I need to update it before it will let me log in.
Please, if someone has the new apk, can you post it here so we can continue to use Netflix on our phones?

I'd really appreciate a chance to try this out. Is it because I have less than 10 posts? It does say that that's just to post on the dev forum. I just want to download it.
dunno if it was a fluke for me, but i just Odin'd EG22 (Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184134) and searched Netflix in the stock marketplace app. Found that it wasn't blocked from the epic anymore. Figured i'd give that a try before running the modified versions. Found the app, and installed without a problem. Loads MUCH faster too. Came from EF02.
EDIT/ maybe my marketplace has been tweaked already?... didn't read anything about that and says its stock... anyways give it a shot

As ultimate said just download from the market.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
yeah, the app is downloadable from the market and it does work on my Epic running SRF 1.2 atop Genocide 1.1. the overall responsiveness is a bit sluggish, and only being able to access my instant queue is really annoying - you'd think an official Netflix app could have an actual means of managing you DVD queued - but streaming video absolutely works.
thanks, tried it out and works like a charm.
For some reason Netflix still has the poor quality buttons at the top of the app. I'm not sure if its suppose to be like that, but has anyone experienced that?
its not a big deal, just curious.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
The app buttons stink. But even the website buttons look screwy sometimes on Chrome. I think it's just Netflix not keeping their tech up to snuff. Maybe that's why they are changing the rates on their plans.
So I downloaded netflix from the market, and it says in the list of supported devices that the HTC Thunderbolt is one. Now it does install and accepts your username password, you can see your qeue and it attemps to play the vid, but fails with a DRM required message. any one else seeing this? if you search for it it will not appear, but if you select apps, all apps, free apps then scroll down its listed. click install and try to enjoy a mostly usable app.

it will never work on stock or rooted froyo for the thunderbolt (at least not without netflix directly supporting it). person that said it did on that forum is full of it. amount of effort to make it work would not be worth it. GB will be out soon and nearly everyone has it already on here. Anyone who wont root to get netflix obviously doesnt want it bad enough

Ok ok, im not a dev, but.... Look at the LG Revolution. It is running 2.2.1 and netflix runs perfectly out of the box. in my ignorance, I dont know why it would be any more dificult to modify it to work with other froyo devices. Im sure one of the software type bullys will pick me appart here.. By the way... XDA isn't a friendly place any more. boo to flamers... (will probably get flamed for that) HA

Netflix does NOT need GB to function, it appears as if it needs it for the TBolt but not overall. That being said they made Droid Bionic support available so take everything with a grain of salt. Maybe GB will be coming soon and rather than fix issues with the TBolt again soon they figured set it up for GB and users can use it then (and root users now ).

I just installed Netflix on my stock TB & it works very well. It was a little glitchy for the first 3-4 seconds, maybe 5, but after that, clear as a bell. No complaints here. About damn time...
Netflix app was just updated again!!! Everyone that had issues before try it out!
Yep update seems to fixed the play back issue.... WOOT!
Yep, confirmed working here too. Stock Froyo unrooted, latest update.
Confirmed. Just updated. Netflix now streaming on stock Thunderbolt. Thank God!!!

I never understood the appeal of watching netflix on a cell phone. I tried it a couple of times & never finished the movie. Tablets & netbooks are much better suited for that job, imho

I'm getting tired of the slow scrolling and choppy behavior of apps that shouldn't be. Here is the Netflix app, latest, I think, that I modified to be optimized for Honeycomb. Basically just improves overall app performance.
Enjoy. (attached)
* (You will probably have to uninstall your current Netflix app to try this)
* Updated to Netflix version (360) from the market, released for Honeycomb officially on 10/19/11.
cant install...but I can download it...
You might have to uninstall the old version first.
Works great! (Yes, I did need to uninstall the previous version.)
Thanks!

I tend to trust the members of XDA quite a lot, however, I'm not going to blindly install this apk. Can anyone confirm that it works?
I'm scared to login as well. The login bars arent misaligned like the account stealing Netflix APk reported to be floating around but I'm still nervous. Has anyone tried this? I'm sorry I'm questioning your work, it probably is fine and a great job done, you just can't be too cautious these days.

Installed it. Video quality seemed to be better. Cam on here to read the comments and got paranoid at removed the app. Waiting for confirmation that this is ok, although i already logged on with the new app so if it was fake it would be too late right?
