So, it's just been announced that certain phones have Netflix app for Android (HTC Incredible, Nexus One, and EVO 4G with Android 2.2 installed. It’s also supported on the Nexus S and Nexus One with Android 2.3 installed.) while others will have it eventually.
Is it possible to get this apk and try it on our phones? Its a free app, so I don't see why passing it out on XDA would be against the rules.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
(mods, if this is considered bad, idk why as its free and you still have to have an account, please just edit this link out)
Well, it installed and loaded perfectly.
I can also change my queue no issues, however, I cannot watch a movie. It gives an error about my device not being supported.
Maybe a hack job can fix?
If I understand right, we have to wait til sammy or verizon provides a DRM update to make the phone compatible. I don't believe you bypass it, though i am not a dev so I might be wrong.

Same on Fascinate. It would not work with the Nexus S setting at all. The HTC Setting gave me the same thing as Sophos1.
So....I installed the old leaked apk and was able to get past the login screen. It gave me the "device not supported' error only after I tried to load a show, but it never FCed. I am linking the file in case others have better luck than I.

I found this on the http://techland.time.com/

Unless you own one of the five phones that support Netflix's new Android app, Thursday's announcement was worthless.
But thanks to some clever folks on Reddit, Netflix's petty device restrictions needn't apply. With a rooted Android smartphone, you can trick Netflix into thinking your device is approved for streaming video. It's not a perfect fix -- some users can't get it to work -- but it'll do until Netflix officially brings its app to more Android phones.
The first thing you'll want to do is root your phone. You can look up instructions for specific devices at xda-developers, but keep in mind that rooting is not supported by warranty and could turn the phone into a paperweight.
Still with us? Now, follow the instructions, as posted on Reddit:
1) Download ES File Explorer (Or any other root file editor)
2) In ES File Explorer, go into Setting > Root Settings and enable both check boxes
3) Navigate to /system/ and copy/paste build.prop to /sdcard/ (just in case)
4) Open & edit /system/build.prop
5) Change the following lines to make your phone think it is an HTC G2:
--ro.product.model=HTC Vision
--ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
OR
--ro.product.model=Nexus S
--ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
6) Reboot the phone
7) Install the netflix apk (if you haven't already)
Enjoy
I haven't tried this myself, as my only Android device is a Droid Incredible, which doesn't require extra hoop-jumping. Obviously, you work around Netflix's obstacles at your own risk, but the ability to tinker is one of the reasons you got an Android phone in the first place, right?

I installed the hacked version that doesn't try to authenticate your phone and it lets me view and manipulate my queue, but when I try to stream, I get a blank white screen with nice clear audio. It seems there's a legitimate reason that Netflix is only releasing the app for certain phones. We may just have to wait on them to get it working for our hardware.

Have to use CM nightlies. Forget when they introduced it, but Cyanogen tweeted he had a fix a few days before the nightly was released.
I have to use the latest nightly and change the build.prop to HTC vision. Then I can download from the market and it works great.

I've tried this before and it doesn't work. This is the reason why I looked into rooting my device and ultimately flash it with teamroyal's ROM. Like neidlinger said, I got netflix working on my phone flawlessly!
i've tried all kinds of ROMs and netflix apps. none worked. until today! CM7 Nightly #100. then i had to install the 6.6.2011 updated netflix apk and boom, its working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
interesting i just downloaded the apk off the internet and it seems to work fine so far, but i haven't used it that much either

I did that a week or two ago.
The Unlockr had the updated .apk posted.
I am a big Google Voice user and noticed that the Market wouldn't let me download it for the 10.1.
I snagged this from over at AndroidCentral so I can't take any credit but I figured I would toss it here for anyone who wanted GV on their tab.
Its taken from the Xoom but I am running it on my rooted 10.1 without issue. Enjoy.

you can use something like androzip or basically anything that lets you look into the sd card (or the fake one the tab tells you it has) so you can locate the apk file you downloaded
Works here.
I had previously tried another Voice version (forget from where) without sucess.
FWIW, I emailed the apk - from the first post here - to my gmail account (as an attachment of course.)
When I openen the email on my Retail:Rooted device, "Install" (not "Download") was the option for the attachment.
Agreed to access...and it installed over whatever was there.
Looks the just the same as on my Galaxy GT-I9000 phone. (But 10.1 size )

Download astro or any other filemanager, and then just find where the apk was downloaded. If you try and open it through astro, it will ask to take you to the app manager, where you can install it.
I have installed plenty of apps straight from the browser.
Just make sure you have the option to allow unknown sources to be installed selected, under settings, applications.

My guess is that the one labeled Xoom actually came from a phone as well. It may have been modified to work on Honeycomb but that is only a guess. I do know that there isn't a downloadable version of Google Voice for any Honeycomb tablet. The version I posted is a later release (bug fixes and better battery usage) and required no modification to work.
I've had no issues with the one I posted and it is easy on the battery. Add GrooVe IP and you can do voice calls as well.
Hope that helps,
Andy

How did you guys get the version from the market to update the TW version? When i go out to the Market "Open" is the only option I get.
when you go into settings>applications what version do you have installed? I am running 3.61
Mine shows up as 3.59. Funny thing is that the Market version says 3.61 but "open" is the only option I get.

Try clearing the cache for your market and see if it will come up
Mine is version 3.59 as well.
Same issue when I go to the market.
I just emailed the dev.
When are these adds going to be dealt with?

Sweet, glad you got it working. Good idea on doing the web page market and forcing the upgrade. I'll keep that in mind in the future.
I have seen often programs not able to update properly when they are located /system/app. Since the it was part of the upgrade to TW, they have it located there.
The install from Market worked great for me as well.
Never knew you could do that.

TripleTapper, can you please explain more? Now do you "force install" from the market? It just tells me that my Nook Color is incompatible with the app, and the buttons are greyed out.

I just opened the Market using the browser on my PC. When I do that and search for Words for Friends I click on install. It then gives me an option to install onto my various Android devices by selecting it from a pull down. My Galaxy Tab comes up as Samsung GT-P7510.

photon with cm7
The game started up and downloaded the extra files but now it wont display anything then force closes. I'm running cm7 with the new 1.4 oc kernel. Any ideas?
So i uninstaled and reinstalled the game and works perfect now. I remember the first time downloading the extra files there was an error of some kind. No error on second try tho and works great.
I first had a problem where my internal storage was full but instead of saying so while trying to download the extra files, it just says no internet connection could be found. After clearing up that issue, the extra files downloaded but I am met with a black screen upon running the app. If I press the back button a message appears on the screen asking me press back once more to quit. I restarted my phone and it did not help. I cleared the app data and I'm currently downloading the files again.

*Edit* Someone in the below thread said their issues were resolved by installing over wifi instead of 3G, which is what I have been trying. I will try installing over wifi tonight.

Nope, used a link to get to the app page in the market and it gives me the same incompatible message.
For whatever it's potentially worth for other problems, I solved my sound issue by simply uninstalling, re-downloading, and reinstalling the game. I assume some file containing the audio quietly failed to get properly downloaded.
if you are using jokers skinnyrev2test2, you wont be able to see it on the market however once you change rom's ( to lets say cm7 ) the market will see it just fine..

At least you got it to install, I get the message telling me that it's incompatible with my device. However, the TWC TV app (which it is likely rebranded from) installs fine. Just doesn't do much good when I have Brighthouse.
Brightouse is claiming "A rooted device does not allow us to set the permissions the LiveTv app needs to function properly".
Is this not such a bunch of crap. If their coders were worth a gain of salt they should have no problem changing or modding any permissions their app requires.
I'm guessing they are scared that rooted devices are able to record anything on the desktop. Sadly there are apps to help non-rooted devices to record the desktop too. So what would be the point of even searching for the xbin folder, which again I'm guessing that they are doing.. If this in fact what they are doing, could we add an app to rename that folder when the BH app is launched and rename it back when it closes?

Sounds like a bunch of bull****. A bit pissed that it aint working because of the stupid rooted crap. Someone has to find a way to modify the installation of this app but who will????
Thanks guys for the responds. Like everyone is saying it is a bunch of BULL****, but hopefully someone will come up for a solution to break this. By the way I started thinking why does it matter if our phones are rooted to B.H.. We pay them for service to our TV/Internet not our phones. It is not of their business what we do with our phones and if we made a decision to root, they should not block this app. to us. We pay the same amount that the person that did not root and they get to use this App.
I tried a little but the program won't get far enough along to help because usb debugging was enabled. I was using eclipse to monitor the log file while I launched the app.
There's a somewhat interesting (too much iFruit for me) discussion here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r27195196-iPhone-Android-tablet-users-get-Bright-House-TV-App-Joy- on the subject. Looks like the reason behind the ICS only is because of DRM. Is it possible, the same reasoning was applied to devices being rooted or not?
the TWC app got a fix for rooted users, any chance there will be a rooted-compatible apk for the brighthouse app?
Wahoo!!
