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!

What ROM are you all using?
confirmed working on FR008, OC kernel
browsing isn't too bad with a slight overclock.
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.

Just received an email from Rovio basically stating that Angry Birds is now supported on the Eris! It now shows up in the Market for us. Downloading now.
Sent from my ERIS using XDA App
Yup, it works. Runs a little slow so far though.
me too! me too! taking forever to download but i cant wait for a full functioning game
This makes me happy! Just downloaded it. Doesn't run very smooth at all. But none the less it makes me happy to see the birds and pigs on my screen!
So, I assume they resized it for the screen? That's the only issue I had with "forcing" it on my Eris. It was still playable enough for me to master the beta.
If resizing it would fix the background not showing up then yes. Unfortunately now that it displays it's extremely laggy I would almost say the forced version was more fun to play.
Sent from my ERIS using XDA App
Yes it sucks now and it makes me sad
+1...
i guess our little Eris' can't handle the textures.... might have to push the old one and deal with 'snow'....
Agree. Played better without all the textures working. And besides, the invisible background added to the challenge!
Maybe if enough of us complain they will fix the "laggyness".
Wonder if we could just strip down the apk and make sort of like an 8 bit version. Or at least one with less demanding graphics. They also added the full video ads into this one and more live ads to the game. I feel like the live rendering of those bog down the game a lot. I was more happy with the lder version i almost beat every little sans the background it never really bothered me because i could always just figure the lvl out through trial and error. Now it's not even playable.
Turning on Airplane Mode improves performance a little bit, at lease the ads are gone.
Or install adfree if your rooted. Still some lag but not nearly as bad.

Amazing, makes a huge difference, still a little laggy but now at least playable.
I've noticed it always shows as installed on the SD card despite the fact I don't use apps2sd or anything like that. If thats true I wonder if an SD card better than the stock class 2 would make things any better?

For those that are dealing with the lag.. like me, i've posted the older 1.3.5: http://www.mediafire.com/file/2ehvwqbegrurbe7/com.rovio.angrybirds135.apk
and also there is a user that customized v1.4.2 with some tweaks and ads removed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838184
Hope this helps. i've been addicted to this game...

It may. I use the custom apps2sd that was created for 2.1 and older ROMs and bought a class 6 16GB card (bought that before i found out there is very little difference in performance between the Class 4 and the Class 6). Can't tell the difference in speed between the apps running from the built in RAM and the apps running from the SD card.
Don't see why you shouldn't see similar results with Google implementation of apps2sd. But try installing it to your phone directly first and compare before you plunk any cash down.
Question: I can't install angry birds! It downloads from the market and then says installing for about 2 seconds then says "installation unsuccessful." Any ideas? I'm running kaosfroyo
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
I thought I was the only one with the not installing problem.... I hope someone can answer that cause I've used the custom installed but the some of the structures in the puzzels were just white. Making it hard to play... I saw that it was in the market, but it wont install. This is mu first post so please be nice. SPELLING AND OTHER ERRORS. lol
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
First thing is to check to make sure you have enough available space on your phone's internal storage: Settings --> SD card & phone storage. Angry Birds takes a good 14-15MB of space, fairly large for an android app.
If you have apps2sd running i'd recommend using Root Explorer to check how much storage you have left in your 'data/app' folder.

i was able to install it by doing this.
put the apk somewhere on your phones internal storage
unmount sd card
use file manager, astro root yand, to locate file and install that way
mount sd card
i have heard some people having issues doing it this way, but since i dont use app2sd i havent had any issues
hope this helps
I just flashed kaos froyo and now no mater where or how i install the .apk angry birds refuses to install.

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.

The following is a hack to get hulu.com working with the latest Adobe Flash Player 10.3.185.23 for the Motorola XOOM Tablet which consists of a hack of
/data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so by hex editing AND 10,3,185,23 to WIN 99,9,999,99 so it will work with HULU.
Using the apk - uninstall any existing Adobe Flash Player from your device before installing the new apk.
After you apply the above, to get this working, make sure to set your browser User Agent string to Desktop. With the stock Android browser and probably other browsers excluding the Dolphin browser, you might have to do this each time you run any flash based site including hulu.com or start the browser:

Even though I am the author of this hack, I know what you're referring to since this hack originally was done for phone devices and while it works for everyone else and even others with the Motorola Droid 1, when I use it on the Droid 1, I have the same problem as you and not only that, the flash process will get killed with the browser after a minute or two. Are you using 3G or WiFi?

No problem BRD, I used to do only the libflashplayer.so hack for the past 6+ months and didn't know how to replace files in a apk and I didn't have a Xoom until the end of May so all modified apk's I have tested on my p3droid rooted stock ROM for the Motorola Droid 1 have always resulted in youtube and hulu acting as if flash was not installed, so for that, only replacing libflashplayer.so manually works. What's more funny is that even though I posted my libflashplayer.so on droid-life.com whenever there is a new version of flash, no one seems to recognize it until you made it available on the Xoom when it was mentioned on both droid-life.com and PCWorld. I usually will post the update within minutes to hours after I am aware of it which is usually within the same day except it's time consuming to be updating 1/2 a dozen threads on xda about the new flash with the hack after I test it on 3 different devices (Motorola Droid 1 using the libflashplayer.so, Motorola XOOM after patching and signing the apk with the libflashplayer.so after it works on the Droid 1, and then the HP eStation Zeen Tablet with both the market apk as it doesn't have market access and the libflashplayer.so) to make sure it works before releasing it to the world.

I only ever use wifi (I own a 3g model but do not have 3g activated). And my desktop imac uses the same wireless internet connection and the same hulu video is smooth and flawless, so my internet connection isn't the issue.
What is bugging me the most is that I've repeatedly made comments about the crappiness of the playback and yet virtually no one so much has acknowledged me. Making me feel as though I'm the one and only person having these problems...or that no one else is being even remotely critical of the video quality. To me, "just works" does not necessarily mean its worth using.
I don't have a Xoom, but a Nexus One. Performance has always been crappy on my device. Flash says the video has not been optimized for mobile. I tend to believe them. Looks like the video is not being hardware decoded for some reason or another.
any ideas why opera mobile might fail to recognize this? getting no flash at all, but it works fine with flash from market...

While a Desktop imac uses the same wireless connection, remember the processing power of a mobile device will still be lacking compared to a actual computer. Even though they might both be wireless, the wireless chipset makes a difference too when it comes to latency, etc since Broadcom used in the Xoom isn't exactly a good chipset when you compare it to things like Atheros, Lucent/Agere. My desktop being a Pentium 4-3.2Ghz is actually slower than my Xoom and even my Droid 1 because for whatever reason, in 2009, the hardware just started getting really sluggish so the only way to even play flash is to pause it until the entire video is in the buffer, this is on a 6Mbps ADSL connection which works without issues with even my friends Netbooks when playing flash. Do you have the same problem with the market version without applying the hack since I don't know what BRD modified in his hack but in mines, it's just the version string so everything else is untouched and it should work exactly the same since there is no reverse engineering of the code or decompiling involved. The Xoom atleast works in my case unlike my Droid 1 which is basically suffering from the same thing you claim except on the Droid 1, all of a sudden, it will just exit back to the home screen all of a sudden, no one else seems to have that problem either. Adobe Flash itself is a CPU resource hog and it seemed to be better when it was Macromedia Flash. Lots of people or the general public out there doesn't really know what quality is or they just don't have something of reference quality to compare it to. Same thing when people buy audio/video equipment, audiophiles/videophiles like myself are picky while some people out there will just think anything is good based on the pricing or how expensive something is.
hey guys
i was experimenting with xbmc a bit, tried several versions (no-neon and full-neon's) but all versions are using only one core. and this makes even the music playback completely laggy, not to say unhearable...
so my question: has anyone of you found a version or a trick to make it work the way it's meant to work?
what i also experienced, sometimes all four cores are active, but then their clock speed drops to 475 MHz and it's still completely laggy...
thanks in advance
PS: i do know that there is another thread about xbmc from january, but due to all the trouble i had about reopening an old thread, i opened a new one here
Never heard of it before reading your thread and I have it a shot straight away. Downloaded the source file from xbmc.org/download and installed it. I was expecting some lags, but it played any file I threw at it flawlessly both video and audio. It was on the phone storage though, still learning how to stream it from my home network.
Anyway, is it the same xbmc we're talking about? Is the player or only the remote?
Attached are some screen shot of it

Yep, I'm on JB. However, in xbmc website FAQ, it says O4X running on ICS is compatible with the app, though they also mention that this app isn't official yet, so they tell us to expect some lags and bugs.
Btw, I tried installing the app in my Android HD set top box running on GB 2.3.4, with 1 Ghz ARM 7 processor and 512 MB RAM. Damn, the apps ran as slow as my grandma. The device is really cheap though ($59 or something, China made) I finally end up using the good old MX Player.
