You have to edit your build.prop file in /system/ directory. I used root explorer, but you should be able to use any file explorer with root access. Then change the media.stagefright. lines to "=false" (they're toward the bottom)
Edit: almost forgot, after the changes, reboot.
Also, backup the original file to be safe.

this does work, but at the sacrifice of all video content (including breaking a few games as well, according to some people).
The only other option is updating the stagefright files but a lot of people say this stops android from booting (had this happen to myself), so the only recourse is the stagefright=false fix as posted above. Search this forum and you will find the answers you're looking for as it's been posted LOTS

This may only affect the Desire HD roms (like the MDeeJay Froyo HD that I'm running) and not the non-HD versions. There were a lot of people saying they were having the video not working problem when disabling the stagefright player. there's a thread about it here that covers it a lot.
Just try hastarin 7.7 kernel. Should do the job.

It's a matter of convenience. You can go wait in line for concert tickets or just roll out of bed and order them online when they go on sale. One way saves you money, one way saves you time. Either way, you still get to see the show.
Root Explorer is certainly more idiot-proof. I use it...just cut and paste the files I want removed and stick em in a backup folder on my card. I've done it both ways, and the reality is that I am just a bit too lazy to spend the time doing it manually.

Well probably because it was an old method used on android phones and people got used to saying it....
That said, doesn't terminal emulator require 2.2? (cause I rememebr looking for it in the market on 2.1 and couldnt find it)
I just downloaded it now on 2.1.

First you need Root Access to your Adam device and ability to text edit those files. There are several options - (1) ADB if you have it installed already or (2) Root Explorer (File Manager) by Speed Software in the Android Market (not free, but easiest method). Make sure R/W is enable in Root Explorer
1. Find /system/etc/permissions/handheld_core_hardware.xml
2. scroll down in the text and find this line: <feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen" />
3. Add the following code following it:
<feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch" />
<feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct" />
delete the space between distinct
4. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR CODE!!!!
5. Menu Button ==> Save and Exit
6. Restart your Adam
7. Have fun~
Good Luck!

Cool, I thought it would be a fairly easy tweak to get that working. Looks very smooth, can wait to see it on my NI this week.
Keeewl. Can anyone tell me btw , how many points can be used in Adam's muliti touch ? 2 ? mb 5? or mb 10?) I guess it's only two
Two only it seems. I tried adding the code for jazztouch that's only found in 2.3 gingerbread, and it did not work. Tested it withmultitouch visualizarvisualizar

I think it has to do with the digitizer. My Sprint EVO with stock froyo detects 5 points, there were two versions, one with 3 point another with 5 point. Although you have to flash a custom kernel with 5 point enabled on the EVO, it would only work if you had the right screen.
I think there was initial mention that the Adam would come with 10 point in earlier blog posts. Wishes =/ cost effective, probably didn't allow for that..

According to the post/link on that thread this app has "unlimited" multi touch testing, not limited to 2-4,5 like others..
Tried it but looks like it requires the xml files for multitouch and multitouch distinct...
There is a space too many in "dist inct"
Ie replace "dist inct" by "distinct".
That added multitouch rotation to my Desire. No need for other types of XML files.
Can't imagine it being different for Adam.

Looks fine to me now.
I would remove your additional instruction to remove the space in distinct. Am sure people would get confused now ;-)
Btw thanks for all the videos you've posted thusfar. Have greatly strengthened my decision to order on next batch.

According to the announcement, the Nexus S (which is a Galaxy S with a curved screen, NFC, and GB) is supported for streaming, even though it's supposed to only be available for Snapdragons, and not yet for Hummingbird.
Anyone manage to snag the APK yet? It won't let me install from the Market, even though even Google thinks I'm running a Nexus S (when in reality, it's just a Fascinate with CM7).

Using that version of the app just gives you a message saying the phone is unsupported for streaming. Would changing the ID of the device in the build.prop or something similar be enough to fool Netflix?

That's the question I have. Trying to find out where I could edit it to see what it does.
I downloaded it on my Nexus and transfered the apk to my i500 but when I installed it it gave me the "unsupported device" error.

Please share if you get this working.

If I can get my hands on the build.prop from either the Nexus S on AT&T or the Nexus S 4G, then I might be able to figure out the pertinent tweaks to make the Fascinate appear as either of those to the app when it tries to stream.
If it runs and streams on the NS, then the purported hardware limitation that was supposed to be there doesn't exist, and they're implementing the device lockout entirely in software. This means it will be easy to hack around, and probably be able to do so cleanly without hammering any important settings for the phone.
Edit: The Incredible (and presumably, by extension, the Thunderbolt) is supported, so it's not a carrier lockout, either. This tells me that it's only software, which is heartening.

Ok, so I was in the virus kingdom rom thread and seen this asked a couple of times.
I found this info on another site, I'll past the link in a few but here are the instructions...
So how’s it done? Well, the instructions are actually fairly straightforward, and come courtesy of tipster/redditor natemckn:
Root is required. Make a Nandroid backup! (I accidentally deleted by build.prop file and bootlooped my phone)
Download ES File Explorer (Or any other root file editor)
In ES File Explorer, go into Setting > Root Settings and enable both check boxes
Navigate to /system/ and copy/paste build.prop to /sdcard/ (just in case)
Open & edit /system/build.prop
Change the following lines to make your phone think it is a HTC G2:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.brand=tmobile
ro.product.name=vision
ro.product.device=vision
ro.product.board=vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
Reboot the phone
Install the netflix apk (if you haven’t already)
Enjoy
Update: Apparently you don’t need to do the lines that are crossed out in Step 6 – only the product model and manufacturer need to be changed.Also, it appears that this is hit-or-miss at the moment. Works for some, partially (but not really) for others.
Heres the link,, if its not clickable its because I'm doing this from my phone, so copy and paste.

Tried it on my Fascinate with CM 7 (5/11/11). Changed build.prop to the HTC Vision. Installed netflix app without any errors, but when I play a movie, it only plays the audio, the video is just a black screen. Anyone else have this problem and found a solution??

Afaik, our cm7 builds are missing a lot of codecs... this could be part of your video problems.

* The Netflix app runs on these phones:
1. HTC Incredible with Android 2.2
2. HTC Nexus One with Android 2.2, 2.3
3. HTC Evo 4G with Android 2.2
4. HTC G2 with Android 2.2
5. Samsung Nexus S with Android 2.3.
Thank you for repeating the information that we already know.
We're aware of the devices it works on, we're trying to make our devices masquerade as one of those in an attempt to get streaming working.
Not much luck so far. Time to work now. Might hack on it some more tonight.
The apk running around here doesn't work, either. At least not on 2.2.
Ok, so I said I was going to quit, but it's just too juicy.
Here's what I've found:
Work on Nexus S with GB. The NS is identical to the rest of the Galaxy S line from a hardware standpoint (with the exception of the NFC and curved screen, which have nothing to do with things). The only difference between them is the software.
Some more digging revealed that the key difference in a device working or not working is the Stagefright media framework, which is supposed to be the stock setup in 2.2, but OEMs mostly felt like they needed to hack it out in favor of their own stuff.
So... To get this working on the Fascinate, we need one of the following:
1. A CM7/AOSP GB build with working video codecs (we're almost there on that point)
2. A CM6/AOSP FroYo build with Stagefright media framework in place.
3. A custom ROM with the Stagefright framework hacked in.

4. A Samsung GB leak. Don't laugh -- now that i9000 GB is final, it's already official for the GSM Tab, and the Epic has a leak (now two) as well. US Galaxy S models running Touchwiz GB have run Netflix with no problem.
So I was snooping around and found 4 video files in the "System/media/video" directory. One is of android in space the the other is a sunset.
While the contents of the video is insignificant, the almost 7mb of space that it occupies could probably be used for more useful things such system tweaks and more gapps content. I just wanted to point it out to the Devs and my fellow Jellybean users. Perhaps we can have this removed on future builds to save space?
Xoom 4G + Team EOS Jellybean nightlies = WIN
Look through the EOS stingray thread. We were instructed to delete the entire video folder and reflash gapps to fix some issue or other. So yes delete it. Every time I flash an update its back.
Edit: Found it, post #80

OK. Voice search and Google now and all that works fine. Here's the problem. We're out of room on our system partition. But not to worry. I learned a real neato trick called symlink. I'll talk with the team about the best way to implement it. In the meantime, delete the /system/media/videos folder and flash the gapps pack again. That should do it.

The video files are for camera media effects, which aren't working yet but probably will when the official release comes,I think we need proprietary files or binaries or whatever they are called

I doubt that, the files have existed since Honeycomb at least (perhaps earlier, I don't have any interest in searching for them in Gingerbread,) and haven't been used for the media effects so far.

OK so we all know you can't manually move the apps to SD but I was fooling around with my bpdn (yep eclair and all!) And I noticed when I didnt have the SD card that was installed on my m when I downloaded all my apps that they all fc. As soon as I put it back in they all worked! Just sayan! And 4 gigs is plenty because all media CAN be moved. You just have to do it manually. Use root explorer. You don't even need root for it to work. Try it.

The problem isn't the apps actual core data space. Its the extra data files that most large games have you download to play them. Now as a gamer I know four gigs ain't cutting it and under different circumstances I would have gotten the droid razr HD instead. Perspectively, its a matter of preference of how you use your phone. For the advid gamer like myself, some of us did not have that actual 100 or 250 dollars to shell out to get the more spacious and enhanced droid razrs. With that said root is the only option if you want all those awesome games and be able to their data to the external sdcard. I use directory bind to move them over.
Should you decide on to root: here's a link to the app and directions to use it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2059890
