hi all I was just curious if anyone knows if the new Netflix app is working on the Thunderbolt or not. I assume it would but the thunderbolt is not listed on the netflix web site as a supported phone for this app, even though 3 other HTC phones are listed and are older tech than the Thunderbolt. I tried to install it but they want me to start an account with them first and I'm not opening a Netflix account unless I know for sure this will work on My thunderbolt. I'd appreciate any information anyone has on this,.. thanks!!
there are hacked netflix APKs out there that work on the thunderbolt
I thought it was only working for cm7?

Confirmed. It works on CM7. You can get the .apk in the CM7 thread somewhere.

You are correct.
I appreciate that,.. now next,,, 4 things,..
1. what's the best way to Root the HTC Thunderbolt
2. how do I install a ROM, never done so before
3. can someone link me the cyanogen mod 7 forum where I can download the files for it
4. Can someone link me where to get the APK that works with Cyanogen mod7 for Netflix?
oh and 5th... thanks!

The Netflix app will not work with any ROMs based off the official Thunderbolt RUUs as of now.
I was so mad when my boyfriend's Incredible would stream Netflix, and my newer Thunderbolt WON'T. He doesn't even use his phone. He fixed it so he can use wireless tethering..and uses his ipod touch! That's what made me so pissed off about it. I actually want to be able to watch Netflix on mine! Maybe one day soon =(
yeah This fairly well annoys me as well.. I purposefully bought the highest end phone I could find with the latest technology and it can't run the netflix app while the older models can,.. sounds kinda backasswards to me... really bugs me
Would love to have this working. Til then I guess I'll just have to use it on my DX

If you are rooted you can trick the app into thinking you are using one of the phones that are listed. I think i read about the trick on android central if i find the link i will post it.

Don't think so, so far its only working if your running CM7 I believe.
Has anyone on here used CM7? I loaded it one day and nothing really worked on it. I couldn't get on the internet or anything... sounds like to a waste to run CM7 just to use netflix
Netflix does work on cm7 and will be supported on the thunderbolt soon. The reason why it wasn't initially is because the phone is new and Netflix didn't have time to test it on our devices. Just give it some time and you all will be rewarded.

My understanding is that they are waiting til after the Revolution comes out to activate it for LTE phones. Its one of the selling points of the Revolution so it will probably be exclusive to that for a month or so. Just speculating though.

Where did you get one touch root? Is it in the market because i know it was but then google took it down right after i bought it
I found it in the market, I downloaded it on my incredible, used astro file manager to make a back up, then emailed the apk to myself, used my WiFi tether from my incredible and connected to fascinate to the WiFi and went to my email and downloaded the file, allowed unknown sources, installed the apk and that's it

Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I can confirm this does NOT work. The app doesn't even copy update.zip to my SD card. I was able to pull the zip file from unzipping the apk, however it fails signature when I do the recovery step.
give it a day or two at the max after tomorrow. I'm betting by the weekend this phone will be rooted and fully open for ROM's and whatever your heart desires.
I for one wouldn't trust a one click root that wasn't specifically made for the fascinate itself.
The app would need to be able to "handshake" with the device, so without specific parameters, no way this could work- unless of course designed for Galaxy S and any "custom" efforts VZW may have asked HTC to add.

He didn't use any fix, my friend.. The one click root doesn't work on the Fascinate.
That root method won't work on the Fascinate, as it needs signed update.zip files for recovery mode. Same as the Epic. Bit meh, really. The Epic root method seems to work though, sortof.
As far as the OCLF lag fix, it should work fine once you have rooted using other methods. I'm guessing the Fascinate is using RFS, so it probably would speed up your device.

Anyone got their hands on this new update? if so does it work on the vibrant even tho we don't have froyo yet?
It's amazing on my droid x. You'll love it in a month or two (or three or four) when the vibrant finally gets froyo.

It won't work unless you flash one of the froyo roms on here. Just like Flash, the new Gmail, Adobe Air, etc., it's only available for 2.2
has that been confirmed, or is that an assumption? some of the "2.2-only" apps have worked just fine on 2.1, while others do not.

Yeah, so what's the big deal about 2.2 then?
I see so many people just saying to wait and give Samsung all the time they need to complete it.
But, Samsung is 2-3 months and counting behind HTC and Motorola for delivering 2.2. It's really getting to the point where it's not acceptable. How did they fall so far behind with a phone that's shipped 5 million units?!

I figure this was a question, but I clicked on the thread anyway, hoping it was a statement of successful installation!
Hah sorry to get your hopes up! I would imagine it would install without a problem though, we are running HC after all. The issue I see is booting it up and it looking for a service or hardware we don't have.
Perhaps if someone is kind enough they could venture on over to the Xoom forums and ask around for an apk?

Remember we are only running a premature "preview" HC. Any APKs from the XOOM may require one or more API only present in the final SDK build. Also, any app that requires "Renderscript" will fail too. For example, the YouTube and Google Books apps require Renderscript. Perhaps the CNN app does also.
The CNN app for Android Phones came out. Does anybody had the apk since the Nookcolor won't show it in market. Thanks.
I'm pretty sure there are both a honeycomb and a "standard" version.
Got it from my G1. Installed fine on the nook. Pretty basic, but doesn't look as hot as the honeycomb version.
I grabbed the .APK from my Epic. It wouldn't install on my Nook. Perhaps it is time to share the G1 Version?
Looked up the rules and I think it's okay.
Here ya go. I'm running CM7 stable and OC'd 4/18c, and it works.

what does it do? and what ROM are you on?
Today, The developer said it was removed from the market without explanation. He's trying to bring it back.
I have it but it never switch to forced roam on evo 3d cm7
WTH I'ma be pissed if I can't get that back. I purchased that **** in the market!
taken from the general forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19827963&postcount=65
I updated the website with a note and a link to the apk (for those who have already purchased the app):
https://sites.google.com/site/roamcontrol/
I appealed the decision, but based on what I've read online, I'm not really expecting a response from Google. I have a few ideas on how to republish the app in such a way that people will retain their licenses, whether the new app is published through the Android Market or the Amazon Appstore. I'll let you know when I have any updates...thanks!
Is there an alternate app for Roam Control? It appears the developer hasn't had any success placing it in the Market or Amazon.

If you're rooted, you can make the edits yourself (or download an already modified Phone.apk) and add the roam only option natively so you don't need an app to do it for you.

Hmm, that was the original fix to get it working on MIUI. However that was a while ago, it's possible that some internal changes were made to the rom. Perhaps I'll flash MIUI and give it a try.

I just purchased my first copy at the new website

With paypal.
Installed it on a stock non-rooted EVO3d and works like a charm.
I decided I needed it when I was working at a place that has a call dropping signal and it wore my battery down to 15% by the end of the day. I Installed this and put in roam mode and battery was at like 68% after listening to podcasts all day and I had data (slow but i had it).
Not pushing this like drugs but HEY it works and Sprint dont want you to have it so IT'S GOOD!
