Netflix App?

Is there a chance we can port the Netflix App released for the iphone today?
I am sure that they'll release it for Android, but it would be nice in the meantime.

I don't think it would be possible to port it without first having the netflix app's source code. Plus on top of that they are two totally different operating systems with different video / audio / graphics frameworks. It would probably be easier to just write one from scratch.
Your best bet at the moment would to be just to wait until netflix releases it or to see if the blockbuster app has been ported from the droid x. While the blockbuster app sucks because you would have to pay for each movie instead of having a netflix subscription I think its the only app right now that does streaming movies I hope netflix gets its act together soon!

No chance of porting it... Netflix has been actively hiring android developers, recently looking for "android video playback experts" the official app will come sooner or later.

Netflix Android app got released... but its not for the Aria yet :/

I downloaded and installed the apk on my Aria running Gene Poole's most recent Liberated ROM. It installs fine and I can add to and modify my queue, but playback doesn't seem to work. It says 'Loading...' for about 5 seconds then goes back to the apps main screen.
I've attached the apk for anyone who wants to test it.
A bit of a warning though, installed the app is ~22MB. Considering our phones have ~130MB user storage that is quite a big chunk. Luckily it supports a2sd, which shrinks it down to about 16MB

installe the app, UI is slow but playback is fine! FINALLY! yes it works on the Aria, this little phone never ceases to amaze me.

Worked for me too!

streaming seems flawless.

Same here.

If you're running cm 7.0.0 or above, you can edit the build.prop to make it think our aria is a G2 or Nexus S. I tried it and everything works great.

Did you try before editing it?

I didn't have to edit anything, just installed on my CM7 Aria and off it went, watched an episode of Arrested Development without any issues. Only downside is AT&T data-limits!

I haz wifi DDD
And no I didn't. I probably shouldve, but oh well.

Problem with trying to find the right version from GameLoft is there are several different devices to choose from. Each is a different software version to match hardware. Unfortunately I'm not sure which device this version matches.
Will post link to the Archos forums, where I found it. (had it installed on my Archos 70it, and tried it on the GTAb to see...to my pleasant suprise.)

No, but look up Pocket Legends...is an online MMO like WoW. And free to download / play...hafta pay for add-on stuff tho

downloaded it, can't get it to download the files or w/e, did you unmount the sd or something? i'm very confused.....
i wonder if any versions of NOVA will work.

Downloaded it and tried it out, looks gorgeous on our tablet, I really like it!
Thanks for the suggestion!

It's free here...but which version works with the g-tab?
MOD EDIT: Links to sites with warez not allowed.

I found this and all of the gameloft games for download on a certain site so I'm tryin it out. Did you use the Galaxy S version of 3.4.7 or if not, which device did u use? To find any of these just google android underground and take it from there I'm just stuck between Galaxy S or Galaxy Tab versions of things lol I'll report back once I finish testin

didnt install right for me got it to download but no readable txt past initial menu, it's like stuff isn't loading or is missing.

So which version for G-Tablet?

3.4.7 according to original post

Confirmed 3.4.7 works really well. The download screen and some of the title screens are not stretched properly but as far as a quick test goes the game itself was working great.

None of them work -- I tried every one...
I can confirm that v3.4.7 will load up and initiates a download of the extra data (232 MB!) but it seems to be the wrong resolution and not even centred on the screen...
Still testing though...
Update: Was just the splash screens that are odd -- once past them the game goes full screen...

Where did you find 3.4.7?

i found it, however none of the text is legible once i start playing, and there are objects and whatnot missing

using clymson's rom ontop of vegan 5.1 here (also have chenglu's quadrant loop feedback loaded as well)

I'm also on Vegan 5.1 -- but with the stock kernel...no other hacks installed yet...
Again, none of the links from MyDigitalLife work -- only 3.4.7 and above work...
So you can try getting it from Gameloft directly on a phone and then side-load it into the tablet -- as long as it is 3.4.7 or later...
The build I found was listed as being for "other phones" (whatever that means)...There are some newer builds available but I haven't tried them -- I stuck with 3.4.7 since it was stated that it works.

Netflix App

anyone get the netflix streaming app working on their ds7's. I got it installed but it says my device is not supported.

Have they yet released Netflix for a Tegra2 device? That will probably be when we can expect a port.

Didn't yhink about that. Good call

saw people were having luck with spoofing the i.d. of their device to a compatible device to trick netflix into working.
It installed fine and brings up my instant queue and such, just won't play them. Gives me a "your device is not currently supported".
Haven't had time to install the custom ROM and delve into those things yet, maybe next week I will.

I tried with all the values mentioned in that thread. Still no dice and changing all these to "vision" will FC Swype. even after changing build.prop back.

Swype back after cache and dalvik wiped. I'm noticing most with unofficial devices are having luck w/ cyanogen roms.

I have the LG G2X phone which is a tegra 2 and netflix is working for me just fine.
I made only two changes to the build.prop. but it only ran when I had CM 7 installed. Not when I had stock froyo. I just tried with the streak 7 and it looks like it starts to play but then exits.. It's also not working on the asus transformer with the build.prop

weird that it works on an asop rom.

Stupid question, Cause I have a G1 and a HD2 which can run android. Think either of these would be able to be used to test if this works? Or would it be pointless.

Im running Netflix now on my HTC Aria running FR008 Rom. bet it works on yours too!

The hd2 can run netflix fine as long as you use the nexus one based builds. I run it without a problem. The Hd2 has been able to run netflix using windows phone 7 since windows phone 7 was able to be ran on it.

Thanks, Upgraded from Superram to the Nexus GB rom, Got it on my HD2 now. =)
Now just to wait on Dell.... sending my streak 7 in to get rid of this random menu/keyboard poping up issue Ive been having. Then hopefully things work 100% stable.

What are you guys using for a prop editor and where can I get it?
I have prop editor on my G2 but I cant seem to find it anywhere.

Zinio for Xoom

Hi all,
I take absolutely no credit for this to work on Xoom, it's due to the great work of hhspiny who extracted the files from his GalzxyTab; and kevinmajlo who is kind enough to alter some code which solved the FC issue.
Bear in mind that since this app is not optimized for Xoom, don't expect the resolution to be on par with its ipad counterpart. Nevertheless it's good for now until the official version for Xoom comes out.
Here's the installation sequence (you need to sideload all files):
1. Download the 2 attached files
2. Install ReaderHub.apk
3. Install zinio-fixed.apk
After installation completed click the "ReadersHub" app, choose "magazine" and viola!!
Enjoy everyone! Please drop a note whether it works or not for your device.
[Update] For those who would like to be informed regarding the official app, Zinio has placed a link in its tweet. Here's the link:
http://www.jotform.com/form/10865816794

Thank you all involved. Shouted with respect

OMG thank you. I just sold my iPad and have been using Zinio on my small iPod touch screen. Now I have it working on my Xoom!!! Thanks so much.

Should be ok since the fixed problem is not really device-specific. Please report back if it works or not.
[update] i've also installed in my HD2 (running 2.3.4) and works like a charm.

Finally Zinio on my Xoom. Many thanks.

Sold your iPad???

I'm on a Xoom 3.1 - installed readershub first, then zinio. Made it as far as logging in, I get the tip box, then it goes into an FC loop. Any thoughts?

How I fixed the FC close issue is turned off the tips. Once I did that, FC issue went away.

keeps fc on my xoom.android 3.1

I used Zinio from the G2X dump and it works perfectly on my transformer. It's the full app where you don't need to samsung's reader hub in order to view magazines. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...3&postcount=12
I've been looking at Zinio's twitter feed and it looks like there's progress being made for a Zinio honeycomb version including a tweet by what looks like a developer for Zinio asking for people who have android tablets. Maybe the devoper is asking for beta testers?

Yah. The games on the iPad were nice but I'd forget I even had one and would go for weeks without using it. Having an EVO, iPod Touch 4, and a Xoom was too much. I can't browse or multitask on an iPad (Mobile Safari sucks and having to click the home button twice to view open apps is a chore). No point in keeping the iPad when everyday the value decreases as more and more iPad 2's are available. Sold it when it was still sellable.

Ok, so I uninstalled zinio and readershub, and now i'm trying to reinstall them both. Readershub installs just fine, but for some reason zinio fails to install. I tried using adb install and adb install -r and they both result in the following error:
Code:
1236 KB/s (5638011 bytes in 4.452s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/zinio-fixed.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]
Any ideas?

newer version of the Zinio Reader available
I get an message saying that "There is a newer version of the Zinio Reader available. This version is no longer supported. Please upgrade to the latest Zinio Reader."
Anyone knows where to find the updated files?
Thanks.

got this new apk from the samsung app store the other day.
Haven't tried it on the xoom yet but this should be the newer version.

PS3 Controller for Android Devices

I know XDA has a handful of threads in other parts of the forums talking about this app. Just letting everyone know that I works for me (I am running AOSPTheory/CM7). I do not know if it works with other roms, so if you try it, let us know!
First Link is the DEVS website
Second Link is to the marketplace, it's a compatibility checker
Third Link is the actual app that you need to pair your phone and controller.

Again, if you aren't running CM7/AospTheory, let us know if it's compatible with your rom!
EDIT: Seems like it is NOT working with sense roms!

No go on SkyRaider Zeus Preview
Just letting you know it doesn't work right now on the new Gingerbread SkyRaider Zeus Preview. Can't wait for it to be supported. Looks pretty sweet!

PS, anyone with an Asus Eee Pad Transformer, it works with that too

Tangentially related, but anyone running AOSP / CM7 been able to use their phone as a text entry device for PS3? Seems like they don't like to talk to each other over bluetooth - I make the phone discoverable for 5 minutes, and my PS3 just sits there scanning for devices 'till the cows come home

AOSP Bluetooth stack will work. Sense will not. Samsung tablets will not. It would require someone porting the bluetooth stack and considering no one has done it, I would guess it would be hard.

That is the app I am trying as well. Wondering if I should back up my save games and just do a factory reset. I may have tried it once in the past and aborted the process for some reason and it caused it to hiccup and not be able to pair up again.
