Hello everyone,
I can't get Netflix to work on my rooted Nook Color 1.2 (blue circle) with Honeycomb 3.0 (Deeper Blue's). I've downloaded the latest version of Netflix from the market and when I try to launch it briefly shows a black screen, then returns to the apps menu.
My setup is HC-v4-emmc and clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer.
I've tried changing the build.prop settings to both the HTC/HTC Vision and samsung/Nexus S, and nothing changes.
I've searched all over the web and I can't find a solution.
I'd appreciate anyone's help to get Netflix running for me.
Thanks!
The Honeycomb builds for the Nook Color are little more than tech demos, not to be used as "daily drivers". The builds lack hardware overlay which you will find is necessary for pretty much any video playback, even if it did work it would be software emulated and you wouldn't have a video, you'd have a slideshow...
Thank you so much for the information, I didn't know that!
What build/OS do you suggest I use to root my Nook Color? I'm looking to use Netflix, web browsing, the Google suite (calendar, email), enterprise email, and stored video browsing pretty regularly.
Thank you again.
I highly recommend the CM7 nightlies, rock stable and very speedy with the overclock. You can grab the latest build here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore , I'd recommend flashing it onto the emmc for the speed advantages. Dolphin HD for web browser, Mobo player for video, Samba app for wireless file transfer to the Nook, CifsManager to wirelessly mount your PCs shared folders to the Nook(great for streaming video and music). Just a few recommendations to get you started, you can find all those apps in the market...

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but what overclock settings do you recommend?
I'm rolling with 1200mhz for my highest step>875mhz>525mhz>425mhz>300mhz for the lowest with the ondemand governor.
Joe,
Thanks again for the help, you were right on. I installed the latest CM7 nightly and I'm up and running.
Unfortunately, now the market doesn't show Netflix as an app. I'm guessing I have restricted access to the market where certain apps don't show. Any idea on how to address this? I tried the directions online to clear the market data/cache but that didn't work.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you just want netflix, you can grab the latest version in the thread from my signature.
Otherwise, a little explanation is at hand, Google just recently updated the market app and it seems to have some issues, some major issues, we are waiting for Google to fix the issues. In the meantime there is a work around, you'll have to edit your build.prop and change your dpi to 160, reboot, then go to settings>applications>manage applications>all> and clear the data from the market app. Your market will work fine for a while and then start acting up again, at that point you'll need to clear the market data again, wash rise repeat...
Thanks for the advice, I changed qemu.sf.lcd_density to 160 and I'm now able to download apps that were previously listed in the marketplace but not downloadable (e.g., Flash Player, Facebook), but Netflix is still not showing up. I installed it from your link though. Any other ideas on why it may not be showing up?
Oh, I forgot, I also made these changes to my build.prop
ro.product.model=SCH-I500
ro.product.brand=verizon
ro.product.name=SCH-I500
ro.product.device=SCH-I500
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
Which should get you around the device filtering Google has implemented and make most if not all apps available to you.

Netflix has never shown up in the market and editing your build.prop won't make it show up.

Did you download it from the market? Yes it shows up if you sideload it but I have never been able to get it to show up the market using any build.prop edits. If it does show up it probably will not have the option to download it.

It was side loaded because it is the version I made without the rotation lock, but that is not why it is showing up. I uninstalled it and then searched for Netflix
Like i said, the build.prop edits work if you do it right.

Does the build.prop edit work with 176+ and 3.1.3? I just tried with no luck. Movies shows up in Market and I can play trailers, but Netflix does not show in the search. I went for a sideload and that works fine. Just wondering...

It works, along with the 160 dpi change you need the "make & model" change, then clear the data from your market through >settings>applications>manage applications> once you've done all that then you should be good to go.

I decided to change this thread from being exclusively for the Netflix app, if you have an app you want free rotation on feel free to request it here.
you'll need to uninstall any older versions before installing the newly enhanced versions

Any chance of updating the latest Netflix 1.3 Apk?
How do you decompile the apk? I'm interested....
If I recall correctly, you need baksmali from here. Command on Mac: java -jar baksmali-x.x.x.jar Netflix-xx.apk
Cool, thanks ... time to play
I didn't realize this was all java! It's on now...
Netflix 1.3 modded and uploaded, link updated in op.
Excellent! Thanks for the great work!
Between that and your themes... I think I'm in love!

Erm... I don't want to be a pain, but I tried installing the apktool in my PC (a Windows 7 Pro) following the instructions where I downloaded it but whenever I try to run it, it just closes itself. Tried changing settings in the compatibility mode but nothing happened. :'(
UPDATE:
I found the AndroidManifest.xml file you were looking for! I accidentally extracted it from the APK itself using root explorer. I'll upload it as soon as I get home...currently out ATM.
UPDATE 2:
Can't upload an .XML file here in XDA. What to do? I'll just try and upload it to Dropbox instead.
UPDATE 3:
Here's a Dropbox link for both the .XML and. APK file:
XML: http://db.tt/H9t09Ua
APK: Warez removed
Oh, bye the way, that APK is SPB Shell 1.2. I was able to get the APK file itself using Linda Manager.

The file linked is "libmobileshell.so". I'd prefer if you decompiled the APK, that would make it much easier for me to help you.
apktool is a command line tool, that's why it keeps closing on you, you are supposed to execute it through the command line. If you aren't comfortable in the command line then I recommend using APK Manager, which acts as a front end for apk tool. Make sure to update the version of apk tool included with APK Manager under the "other" folder...
Does this allow left-handed landscape? My NC cover allows me to prop it up using the front cover as a stand but everything ends up being upside down.

Yes, it'll rotate in every direction.
Know what kind of pisses me off? I can successfully watch rented movies through Google videos on my (obviously rooted and therefore forbidden) NC, but I CANNOT, EVER, get a single solitary version of Netflix to work, whether the "official" version or any of the hacked versions floating around. Tthey all give the same error as soon as it starts up: that I have to check my time and date settings and my internet connection.
Joe, you've dug around in the apk . Any ideas why this won't work for me? I'm semi convinced that it has to do with my being on satellite internet. There's a latency in the send/TX that prevents me from using video chat for example, but why it should affect Netflix and not other streaming services is beyond me.

What speed is your connection? Can you watch Netflix on your pc? Does Crackle work for you?
Edit, as of October 3, I'd suggest holding off on the 3.1.6 Market update. Could be fishy. It's signed differently than Google does. Mine below are fine.
EDIT: The new market is cool and all, but I have noticed that if I have multiple google accounts, it switches back and forth... which is REALLY annoying. If you notice issues, go to menu > accounts and make sure your primary is selected. Other than this, it is great.
EDIT 2: there is now a 3.1.5 - the bug mentioned above still exists
DOWNLOAD LINK FOR 3.1.5
If you had 3.1.3, it may just auto-update for you.
---------- below is older information for 3.1.3 --------------
You can thank @MastaTM (XDA: Official_Master) for the new Market (3.1.3)
http://www.multiupload.com/41FQ6PQ3MS
The below is litterally pasted from androidpolice (again, they are on point). I bolded what is new.
Wow, Google is on a roll with the Android Market lately. Since the release of Market v3.0, a number of small updates have come to the Android Market recently, but this is by far the biggest yet. Google has added the long-awaited +1 functionality to the Android Market (which has been on the web version of the Market for quite some time), along with a few other goodies.
There's a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately).
There are also 2 brand-new Market icons to spruce things up a bit (within the Market itself - unfortunately, the app drawer icon is still the same).
For convenience's sake, the size in megabytes of each app, along with its latest update date, have been moved from the bottom of descriptions to the top of individual app pages, which is a very useful change in our book.
Moving on to the thumbnail navigator, Google added a long-overdue sliding transition - a nice touch that makes the Market feel more polished.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use an optional custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have - and really, it makes a lot of sense.
You'll need Unknown Sources enabled in the Settings -> Applications menu to install it.

Installing Android Market APK
Could use a little help here. Put a new ROM on my wife's phone, but for some reason, it doesn't have the Market on it. Every time I download the APK for the Market though, it asks me if I want to assign an account to it, which I choose Yes, and then it closes. I'm going to keep working on it, but if anyone has any ideas, please help!

2.xx is better. 3.xx is too slow and laggy
Someone in the General apps forum uploaded what they claim is version 3.1.6. I pushed it into system/app and over wrote vending.apk but I still have version 3.1.5. Others are reporting success, though. Saying it looks a little more polished.
Edit: Removed link due to suspicious nature of this "update". Search it out and install it on your own, but I've restored my nandroid backup and am done with it until more is known about it.

It appears an update to the Android Market is now being pushed out to handsets, and we've got the .apk file for you right now.
Warning: this updated Market does not seem to work very well on Honeycomb tablets, there appears to be a number of glitches.
What's changed? So far, we've found:
•New setting: Auto-update apps (presumably, sets all apps to auto-update mode, woohoo!)
•New setting: Update over Wi-Fi only
•New setting: Auto-add shortcuts (automatically adds homescreen shortcuts for new apps, ala Honeycomb)
•Smaller font
•New app drawer icon
•Microphone (voice command) button in search menu
•Star rating chart on app pages
•Minor UI tweaks
Source: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/11/01/download-android-market-3-3-11-adds-new-settings-default-auto-update-update-over-wi-fi-only-shortcuts-and-more/

http://minus.com/mbkcCQPLvP
Update: I just installed the market. Everything seems to be in working order. Just d/l the apk. Use ur Root Explorer/File Manager. Run the .apk and install over ur old market. No need to replace vending.apk or setting permissions. Works fine as I did it that way. Smooth as butter.

No Films on Desire HD
Hey. Im on an Atrix in the UK on O2 and am running CM7 (the latest beta) and now have the latest Market (3.3.11) from another link.
I've also forwarded the .apk to my wife and mate, both of whom are on a Desire HD in the UK.
Funny thing is, I have the option of Films, yet, with the same .apk, neither of them do. Just Apps, Games and Books. Very strange! Can anyone explain it? Either I'm not meant to have Films, or they are not meant to!
By the way, I have also used the same .apk on my Uk Transformer, which is unrooted. On there, I too have the options for Films!
I suspect it is HTC thing, but how/why?
(The reason I went looking for the .apk in the first place was because wifey was still stuck with version 2 of market as the Google update wasn't not coming through. Apparently that was an HTC thing - apparently they only release their Market updates with ROM updates. Is that true? or is my wife's phone glitchy? Hers is std uk Voda unrooted)
Thanks guys.
i went to market to buy GTA3 but it says not compatible with your device. So i sideloaded apk file. After downloading data file it seemed working. However it pops out to home screen after intro. I dont see NT under supported tablet list.
Guess this is it. We cant play this great game.

I just tried too... we can only see intro video. Try check system log.
Rockstar said they were gonna roll out support for more devices down the road, maybe Nook will be one of them?
All I know is if they release this for the Kindle Fire and not the Nook, I'm gonna be very confused. I'm already confused as to why we can't get Dead Space for the Nook, since it's available for the Kindle.
Why you don't try copy the fingerprint of Kindle fire?
Runs great on my G2x. It will be updated to run on the NT. Can't wait for the day. Looking great on my phone.

gta 3 vs 1.0 didnt work for me either.. but the new 1.1 is now working! tried playing it for about 5mins.. so cant confirm if it will crash out.
Good call! Confirmed, version 1.1 works! The only thing for me is I don't have audio, but I think that's because the download got screwed up- it crashed toward the end. I'll reinstall it tomorrow.

heh, well it is from 2001. Looks pretty damn good considering.
My last post was my NT with settings still spoofing the Nexus S. Too bad that doesn't actually work for the Market.

Did you have a completely uninterrupted data download? At first I had it running, minus the audio because the download crapped out toward the end, but the game still ran. Reinstalling it + re downloading data fixed it. If all else fails, try that.
Re-installed and working now
Hell Yeah it works. Question.... how the heck you pause? I tried pushing nearly everything. It came up once after hitting the N button but never again.

Under manage applications it'll tell you which version you have just under the name of the app, if I remember correctly.
@citizen toxie. Use button Savior menu button. Should bring up the menu screen.

Can anyone tell me how they're getting the game onto to their NTs? When I search the Market on the NT it doesn't show up, and if I find it on my web browser and then Chrome-to-phone it, it just says 'Your device isn't compatible with this item.' I've already paid for GTAIII for my DHD so I'd prefer to use a more legitimate method if anyone can help!
I have a link for u guys to use but i have to post 8 posts before i can submit a link lol

It seems that because of an Apple lawsuit, all links (YouTube, Play Store, etc) open in the web browser instead of their respective apps. It no longer gives an option to choose like it did in gingerbread. This drove me nuts and I searched around the internet for a fix. I hope this helps someone with the same problem.
1) Delete HtcLinkifyDispatcher.apk using System Tuner or Root Explorer (apk located in /system/app). Note: Freezing the apk won't work, it needs to be removed.
2) Reboot phone
3) Clear defaults for browser in Settings/Apps

So THAT is why.. I always wondered if I could safely remove that APK from my old rom, now I wish I had. Like apple owns the RIGHTS to apps getting utilized.. I'll probably figure it out later, but this doesn't actually break the app association function in system settings right?
Mainly this post is a bump for your thread, this is good to know, and I think this apk is still being included in all the roms..
You can also remove the app using titanium backup.
Thanks

Why not just use app associations in the settings menu?
I stand corrected... MrMako posted THIS LINK and when I clicked it, it gave me option for play store app

The app associations in the settings is incomplete. Try opening a YouTube link on your phone without this tweak and it will force it open in the browser instead of giving it an option to open it in the YouTube app.
The reason HTC added the app associations in the settings menu is to get around an Apple patent that is being enforced by the ITC (thus the delay in customs for HTC ONE X at the US customs). Apple owns a patent which allows intelligent app associations by knowing which app to open by reading the link. HTC lost that in the courts so we get a workaround that is not as good as the old option.
This is not a big deal for most people but I hate the YouTube mobile site and would rather want my YouTube links to open in the app.

Mine still opens in the browser, even after clearing caches, to be honest, I think the app htclinkify or whatever the name is happens to be the app that links contacts, but I may be wrong.
Well guess I'm the only unlucky one, lol.

Worked for me!
You sir, are a flippin' genius! Also, Apple are a bunch of asshats, but that's nothing new.
Just curious, those who have completed this mod, can you click on a phone number or email (check both please) and the phone bring up either the dialer or new email to compose? I tested it and these stopped functioning as the links call the app that is renamed/deleted.
Thanks!!

Clicking phone number does bring up a dialer for me and clicking an email link brings up an option to choose.
Try clearing the defaults for Mail/Gmail and dialer and that might solve your problem.

I'd have to test it, but I don't use gtalk.. but since gtalk is a purely google app, I doubt it would have problems from deleting a HTC specific file. I would go ahead and stop the app, delete the files in system settings, or if that doesn't work uninstall and reinstall the app..
As I said, there is no reason that gtalk should have problems after this..
I just tried this and none of the links open now. When I try for example to open a link from Reddit News, nothing happens. It doesn't open it with youtube app or the browser. Nothing happens at all
EDIT: Seems like freezing the app with titanium backup doesn't work. I uninstalled it and it works fine now
Thanks OP

I found the same to be true about freezing the app.
From what I have experienced, this occurs with the stock browser. I installed Dolphi Browser and I am able to open maps with the maps/navigation app, as well as click numbers and it opens in the phone app. Maybe something to consider.
Sort of easy fix is to install the google chrome beta and make that default. When i click on links on that browser (or even facebook) it asks again. Thank GOD!!!
Question. I don't really mind the fact that the linkify dispatcher exists, and the benefits of removing it don't outweigh the drawbacks for me. But I am darn tired of seeing it showing up in my multitasking menu. Looks unprofessional and tacky.
So, my question is: how can I hide HTCLinkifyDispatcher from the multitasking menu without actually removing it?

I've yet to see a benefit to keeping it, so I don't know why you'd want to keep it. Remove it, then it is a non issue.
