So the official netflix app is now out but only available on market for nexus s...I can't seem to find the apk but comments on engadget were saying the app worked great on their G2. Has anyone been able to find this? Is it legal to upload here since it is a free app?
Its on market now
Thanks

just tried this on a Bell Desire Z in Canada...where they said it's not working yet. Got the apk from the Epic 4G forum as well. I can log into the app, pick a movie, it seems to play, but no sound or video. Just a black screen. A few seconds in it pops me out to the menu.
That was the issue I had on the non official app a while back. May be because of your region

Sorry but what does that have to do with netflix? Is that rom even for g2/dz?
I'm using the stock gb tmo leak. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not

I can confirm that it works great on the T-Mobile G2 with Virtuous Fusion ROM.

Yah, I was wondering if anybody's tried the Netflix app on his rom. And yes, it is. It's based off the G2 Gingerbread OTA, if I remember correctly. He hasn't/doesn't post on here.
Gotcha.

Works on G2 Stock but not on CM7
Okay, so here is what I have found out. On my G2 it works on my stock (rooted) rom, but doesn't on CM7.0.0. On CM7 I get about 5-10 seconds of sound with no picture then it exits.
So there must be something in the program that looks at some OS thing. One thing I noticed with CM7 vs STOCK is that market.android.com sees 2 different phones on my google account even though I have only 1 phone.
So the obvious question is can we fake CM7 to be reported as STOCK?
This is weird. I figured it was some incompatability issue with 2.3 but apparently HTC Evo users running CM7 are enjoying them some Netflix. What gives? This app has been confirmed not to work on CM7 for the G2 and I'm running a stock build based off the official OTA and all I get is sound and a white screen. Hopefully a fix comes around soon.....
Yeah I just flashed the new Virtuous Fusion with Sense 3.0 and netflix works on the G2 perfectly. This version is Android 2.3 and I believe the only 2.3 rom so far for the G2 confirmed to have netflix working besides stock 2.2. So it can't be that the netflix app is looking at the OS version. I would imagine the requirement to play netflix is something developers will easily be able to figure out and implement on roms from here on out.

Sounds to me it's AOSP gingerbread it has a problem with.
Just installed and tried it out on my G2 running CM7.0.2. Same problem as others, works great, I can start watching, get audio with no video, then drops me back at the main page after a few seconds.

Virtuous v1.0.1 also doesn't work
Just check the Virtuous v1.0.1 ROM on my G2 and it failed to work.

Same here.
The new youtube app isn't the only one that was updated. Most of the gapps also have new versions on the market. For example, the shopper app or the street view app had new versions on the market that I wasn't aware of until I searched pub:"Google Inc." You guys should probably download those as well.

Yeah probably, but the apps weren't linked to the market so I had no idea that some of the other apps were updated too. For example, maps always updates itself so I assumed the rest of the gapps would do the same.
Try avoiding the use of the "back" button while you're in the YouTube app. It hasn't crashed for me since I stopped. I'm sure an update will come pretty soon. This is an entirely new version of the app, it may take awhile to get all the bugs worked out. Looks promising, though. I like the UI.

I noticed the htc sense virtuous rom had an fm radio app, but I prefer cyanogen mod rom, is there any way I can get that app installed on my cyanogen rom?
I tried saving the apk from the system app folder on to my sd card, but in cyanogen it said the app couldn't be installed. And I already had "install from unknown sources" checked off in the settings.
Thanks for the help.

This is typical you from looking at your post history. I really wish XDA had a way to block users. There are some that are just a waste of everyone's time.
edit : dug some more, and it actually does. If you go to the asshat's profile that you want to block, underneath the "user list" there is an ignore option. Sweet.
Please stop the flaming in here
You can understand the response though. CM is amazing... If you don't like it, stay stock and rooted...

This patch will replace effectively the entire media library stack with a newer version, allowing Netflix to function on Gingerbread ROMs. The patch does not contain the Netflix apk itself, just the libs to fix playback. As far as I know, the patch WILL NOT work on Froyo.
Several folks on IRC confirmed the patch works. However, I recommend a Nandroid backup before applying the patch. Worst case, you can re-install your ROM to revert the changes. No wipes or anything are needed.
Enjoy!

As I understand it FPS issues usually have something to do with the kernel/ramdisk.

I did the patch workaround to get Netflix working on my dINc2...should I delete the Netflix app I have installed and install the one in the market or will they both be the same?
Should I revert back to before I applied the patch?

I installed the official Netflix app from the Market and I still get the white screen.
No playback on Incredible 2... also, on the netflix website it does require "activation" for Netflix ready devices?
It says "Follow the instructions on your device to get an activation code.
Your computer and device must both be connected to the Internet to activate."
i too am getting the dreaded white screen
Afternoon Netflix Update
Nextflix posted another app update to the market this afternoon. (build now matches the release in the description.)
Updated the app opened it up, and....I am now watching Netflix on Stock 2.3 Dinc2.
We now have Netflix!
I uninstalled the hacked version and installed the official and video quality seems to have degraded significantly. Backed to blue Netflix for me.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
Video quality seems fine to me. Official app doesn't have full video rotation though
Yeah, rotation would be nice, but not a deal-breaker. I'll keep an eye on the mod thread for that version. It's just nice to be able to start catching up on Archer while away from home
Just got around to installing the official app. No more white screen works great for me.

OK every time i try this I'm getting Installation error Package file was not signed correctly. Is this because I am rooted?? I got it to install just fine on my g-tab but the inc2 is giving me a hard time!! Any ideas?
I'm rooted on cm7 and it installs fine for me so I doubt its from rooting. Now, it might be dependent on the rom you're using.

The new voice assistance added into JB, i was wondering if it was possible to be ripped / spliced with ICS
Exactly like rshift said, there is a version for ICS, but it's not optimized whatsoever. Some but not all cards work, and I'm yet to receive a notification fro doing things outside of the house.
To top it all off, no, the voice input and Text to Speech are still broken because of what they think is a kernel issue, so don't expect anything useful/different from your normal Google Search until we get a Jelly Bean port of our own.
However, if you want to try it for yourself, go ahead and look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
The instructions are pretty straightforward, but make sure to create a backup like it says in case something goes wrong.
Google will definitely have to release this for ICS. How many people will even have a phone on 4.1 in the near future.
I just booted up a working version of 4.1 and was super sad to see that Google Now wasn't working yet...But they are working hard to get it going!
