Now that the netflix app is officially out for android (but only for supported phones), is there any way to make it work on the Shift before it's officially a supported device?
Using the attached apk, which is the market release, I can log in and view my queue. I haven't gotten a video to work yet, but I'm in the process of checking.
tldr;
App works on Evo Shift, so far. I am on CM 7.3.1 running ScaryKernel 1.8.
Edit:
Unfortunately, I cannot get a movie to play. I can choose a movie and it goes to the red loading screen but the movie will not start. Loads to black screen with a second of noise then crashes back to the Netflix app home screen.
There is the possibility that my data connection is at fault. I have no wifi connection where I am and my 3G speeds are lackluster here in mid-Michigan. I will try more later when I have a steadier connection.
Ok. The apk I had found wouldn't load, thought it was an issue with compatibility. But it looks like it'll work with the version you posted, thanks.
It doesn't quite seem to work to play videos. I can hear sound, but no video. I tried it on 3G and on the WiFi here at work (26 down).
Same issue here on 4g, 3g, and wifi. It seems to do everything except streaming. The video and audio begin to load and then crashes.

What ROM are you using?
I'm using CM7 and it doesn't work and I have flash 10.3
Just get audio, no video and quits out after ten seconds

Mind posting your methods for getting the app to work?
http://techland.time.com/2011/05/13/netflix-for-android-workaround/
1) Download ES File Explorer (Or any other root file editor) *** I used File Manager in Cyanogen Mod because ES File Explorer would not work
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

Enjoy Friends!!!
Anyone confirm this working? Does it affect anything else?
I can't get it to work. Every time I try to change the build.prop and then reboot, it reverts back to the original file. I got it to catch using ES, but it still doesn't work. I try playing, and it does the same thing as before. Sound (shaky), no video.
I did the mod to build.prop above (just the HTC Vision one since the other was already there) and checked that the flash was updated to newest version of 10.3.
It worked fine for me so long as I did not use the Resume on the first page after login and didn't try to skip to far forward during playback (just skip a little at a time or let it play through).
I used it on wifi in my house to play Ron White - They Call Me Tater Salad all the way through (a little under an hour) and played another while on 4G and had no issues other than those above. 3G seems worthless (maybe if you get a really good connection)...my usual connection is sloowww.
Overall - great video and sound...probably even better with a headset...
Edit: Evo(Shift)Nonsense 1.0 rom and no special kernel, just one with Nonsense rom. That being said, I can't address any failures in other roms because I don't know why mine works and others don't...
Also, I included my build.prop (editted with Notepad++ and named buildnf.prop) in the attached zip file...
PS - I have two versions of the build.prop file in my system folder, the original and the modified version and just renaming them back and forth seemed to work even without rebooting. Also, so far I haven't noticed any drawbacks to just leaving modded version in effect.

Could you be more specific about your Rom and Kernel and possibly upload your build.prop that works? Thanks.
I've tried editing my build.prop in every way possible that has been said to work and I cannot get anything to play for more than a second.
The video is loading, begins to play for a second, audio only, then crashes back to the Netflix home screen.
Sorry, meant to include this info in original post (I'll edit it too):
Evo(Shift)Nonsense 1.0 rom
no special kernel, just one with Nonsense rom.

Its not broken, if you are on a gingerbread rom then that isnt supported by the netflix app on evos.. So u have to use the workaround, the supported devices list shows the requirements

I can confirm that it for sure works on the Nonsense ROM as stated by hdmunger.
I also used the mediaclient-1.apk found in this thread.
I also edited the prop build to HTC Vision
It did not work under CM7, but it DOES WORK UNDER NONSENSE ROM AND MEDIACLIENT-1

It sucks. Im rooted, but still stock rom, and it crashes my phone all the time. It just stops playing music (and then loses memory as to which playlist/artist it was in, as well as current song)
Is there a more stable app for media playback? Or, what can I do to stabilize my baby.
As I said, I am rooted, have LPP installed, root explorer and that's about it. Im not oc'd or uc'd, and I have renamed/disabled lots of the trash APK's ..
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Depending on the .apk's you've deleted it could possibly be one of those but I remember the stock music app gave difficulties and would close or act unstable so unless you know for a fact you haven't touched anything related to the music app then it's just something you'll have to deal with until you install a different music app(google D1 version; basically the same thing) or switch to a custom ROM with a different app (usually google D1 version).
Hope that helps.

Does anyone have the name of the d1 version? Or, maybe a different app? And yes, I'm 100% sure I didn't touch anything related to that app
I believe the apk is MusicGoogle.apk I think you can find it in one of the 'blurless' ROMs Epic 2.5 has it. I would just download the rom and unzip it into a folder and search it for the .apk in the system/app folder (on your computer) then out it in the sdcard and install it from there.
See if that works.

Thanks man, ill give it a shot when I get home.
Update on the issues: handset sms (the app) appears to be the culprit. I don't know how or why, after uninstalling it (I had a hunch based on text receipt and crash/reset issues) I no longer seem to have issues.
Hi guys, I have an issue with Sat Nav volume. I will try to break it down simply:
Sat Nav [CoPilot and Navigator tested]
Music app [PowerAMP and HTC Music tested]
Audio cable [3.5mm audio jack - plugged into car stereo]
Sound settings all full [set in Quick Settings and also manually set Navigation Volume when Google Navigator is running]
Audio is fine when any music app playing [with or without cable]
Audio is fine when any Sat Nav voice playing [with or without cable]
Audio is fine when any Sat Nav + any Music app both playing (music cuts out and voice becomes audible) [WITHOUT CABLE]
--- Sat Nav voices becomes too low to hear when both Sat Nav and Music playing with cable plugged in ---
This was working perfectly fine on stock HTC (both Froyo and GB) with kernel Buzz OCUV 1.0.6.
I have only seen this issue since flashing Android Revolution HD 5.1.9 > 5.1.10 > 5.1.11 . I have tried different kernels ( Stock ARHD > UnityV2 > UnityV3 ) and also retried Buzz OCUV 1.0.6 but the issue still remains.
Does anybody have any ideas as to what could be the problem?
Anybody have any ideas at all?

I've always had this issue too, All I have been doing is lower the music volume to half, set Navigation Volume to Full and then increase the car volume instead
According to google support forum, It looks like the issue is caused by GB 2.3.3, 2.3.2 does not have this problem so it seems downgrading is the only fix.
I have the same exact problem unfortunately.
I'm guessing you're using Google Navigation instead of HTC's Locations Premium Navigation?
I'm currently on 2.3.3, and I don't really have a problem with any bad navigation volumes. If you're not okay with paying to try out Locations Navigation, don't worry, you have a 1 month worldwide navigation license which you can activate and use for free without any restrictions.
Thanks for your 'input' Vious, but the issue remains no matter what satnav is used, premium or not.
It is a confirmed 2.3.3 issue with multiple threads on the google code forums
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I hope they fix this soon. Such a GIGANTIC issue... i can't believe this isn't at all critical for them.
Same problem for me, Copilot support could not fix it for me also, claiming it was a problem with android not them. Used to work on Version 8.x.x.606
If this affects all versions of Android above 2.3.2 then it looks as if I have little choice but to buy an iphone or wp7 phone next, Google are unbelievable sometimes!
6 months and still no fix, I love Android and would hate to switch but this is a complete joke!!!

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to share my solution for this same problem that I've been having since upgrading to the new gingerbread. Note though that this is no longer an issue if you're using the latest google navigation app, but if you're like me and you like to use an offline nav app like CoPilot, then this solution should work for you.
Since this problem was introduced in gingerbread 2.3.3, I thought I would try replacing the libaudiopolicy.so library with one from a gingerbread 2.3.2 rom I had laying around and voila, that seemed to have solved the problem! I haven't tested this thoroughly, but it seems to be working so far. I hope this helps anyone else out there that is still suffering from this issue.
Could you post the file? Also, have you encountered any issues so far?
Perhaps post this in the previously mentioned google code pages for more testers....

I presume the libaudiopolicy.so file you posted is from a Sense ROM, it didn't work for me as I'm running BlackIce which is CM based.
Downloaded an early CM7 nightly based on 2.2.3, copied that file over and it worked!
I have updated the previously referenced Google pages.

Thanks hexion, you see this is exactly what I have been trying to say all this time - it must be something slightly changed in some audio file somewhere between 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 . I just have no idea about Linux / Android so never knew where to look for such things.
Now all we need is to compare these to see where the changes lie and try to patch the most current libaudiopolicy.so with only the previous Navigation settings, leaving all other new things as is.

Hey rgrover, I'm also on CM7.1 Nightly. I tried renaming old file to libaudiopolicy.so.bak and copied the file you supplied into system/lib but now my device will not load past white HTC screen after reboot. Any advice?
UPDATE: it's OK it seems it was just a permissions problem. Everything working fine now
Hexion, you f**king treat !
My DHD is now pure perfection, with CM7.1 installed and this Sat Nav fix. Everything works at it should and I need nothing else from a phone (apart from battery life, but hopefully I can get Daemon Controller on CM7 at some point with better kernel).
If I had mone I would buy you a bottle JD (actually I would buuy myself one lol, maybe share with you XD )
Apparently, this fix for sat nav apps does not work for Google Navigation and TuneInRadio according to chykal1 on the google page. Music will not be lowered when the nav voice comes on. So if you use TuneInRadio a lot, you probably shouldn't apply this fix. Maybe when someone patches the latest libaudiopolicy.so, then we'll have a true solution.
This is still a WIP, camera is100% working so is video.
I added the Miui gallery apk to the list. I can confirm it works on CM7 as of now. If someone wants to test on stock blur builds let me know the outcome.
I see a lot of people complaining about the stock CM7 gallery so giver a shot.
If you get a chance THANK Mongoosehelix for his hard work. I just brought the app to our table but he is the one doing all the hard work!!!
Hopefully this modified version he has will work. MIUI cam is by far my favorite.
My girlfriend has an Inspire running CM7. When I put CM7 on her phone she was greatly disappointed in the stock CM7 camera app. I put the MIUI cam app on her Inspire and she loves it. I have to admit the app is great and has alot of great functions that most ROM cameras dont.
The MIUI cam offers a few options the droid 3 cam does not ie: Burst mode, anti shake, and a nice quick continuous auto focus. I have been playing with them side by side and i have to say the MIUI cam seems to do a better job overall. Images seem richer and a tad crisper.
The app needs a little DEV TLC still, but all camera functions working. Video works, just not sure of its resolution.
I am not a dev and I just like to play around try to get things working that dont lol. Well this worked out of the box to my surprise. Give it a shot and report back what you think.
If you have both the droid 3 and miui installed you have to back out of the app not just hit home or either cam app icon will revert to one last used, unless you back out then you can go back and forth. No FC or errors.
Focus tone still exists when long pressing picure button. Mute for the shutter tone works on CM7. Blur builds require the build.prop edit below.

The video is being saved as a 3gp so no, but i am sure a clever dev out there can tweak this working MIUI cam to do more with the atrix hardware, but tahts outta my league. I think the only benefit in its current state is just the added picture options for the camera. I havent had anytime to work on this any further as i am at work and already doing stuff i shouldnt be doing lol.
can you change where the images are stored?
Its for picking the location you wish to store the files, but considering this isnt designed for our hardware it doesnt know what to do i think. By default it saves to internal DCIM folder. There are still a few minor bugs to work out, but for the most part all camera functions are working. I hope a dev can take this and build upon it to make it 100% functional, it will stay as is for the next day or two. Im off 3 days in a row so that will give me time to dive into the inner workings and tweak it a little.
I wanted to get this out so others with a little more know how could improve it before my slow ass can get to it. I just wanted to share because i think its one of the best camera apps out there.
Just for ****s and giggles I tried it on cm7 pb3 it opens and I can see the whole ui set up and when I click to take a picture it flashes but doesn'tsave the picture(exact same thing with stock cm7 camera at the moment) so hopefully when thise wrinkles get ironed out mui camera should work for cm7 also. *crosses fingers*

Yup thats the same wall i got too with it as well, i then decided its something to do with CM7 and hardware. Its there and working as an app in CM7 just cant access the hardware completely or something along those lines
I like it, but I can't get it to turn off the shutter sound.
as soon as my apt-get update completes on webtop, i'll reboot and test it out on Aura 1.1.3 Build 8 Debloat.

Hi All,
I had a Kindle Fre with CM7.
I have downloaded the jackpotClavin file posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20671158&postcount=334)
I have started twrp and after a backup of my CM7 i have installed JackpotClavin's file. After that I have done a wipe...
Then rebooted.
Wow. ICS is working. WIFi is OK! sdcard seems to me ok.
And all the app installed under cm7 works in ICS.
Just a FC in two hours of hard use...

so I factory wiped and flashed the pre-alpha, pushed su, pushed Tribuchet launcher, went through market and installed ScreenshotUX. I couldn't find any tribuchet settings that would fix the landscape mode, and as of now landscape only works in the unlock screen, web browser, settings screen, and certain apps like calender. As you can see, the youtube app looks very pretty. Video playback was buggy with no sound, expected Going to try flashing Xperiaplayer's update to see if I missed anything while resetting permissions to the vold - ICS won't read app data from sdcard, I can see it only through my computer when mounted. Enjoy the pics, soooo prettyyyyyy...
Installed the latest build from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20841384&postcount=218
I wanted to report this to that thread but as a "Junior member" I can't so I'll just post it here and hopefully someone will re-report it there.
Just noticed something weird: Though sound is buggy when playing music, I tried installing the Xiia Live application and tried streaming sound.
It's been streaming for 6 hours straight without any sound artifacts, without stopping and generally without any issues. So there's definitely something going on there with the driver... worth another look.
Has anyone tried using Pandora with this ROM. If so, how much does the sound skip out if at all or if it even works at all lol.
This is looking pretty nice...may have to root my KF now!
if you have root you can enable the music channel by editing the default.xml. Using a file explorer navigate through system/customize/aac to default xml and incase your rom doesn't use default.xml, edit the one with your cid, scroll right to the bottom of the default .xml, in that area you will see a line, support_music_channel">false ...change it to true, save, reboot. In settings there should be an option for music channel, now, I donot know if it works without harmon kardon so some feedback would be good from someone using stock adsp.img with boomsound, I cant see why it wont work. Give a try and post your results. Play a song in any music app (supposedly), if music channel is enabled there will be a notification pop up, open the notification draw and tap music channel, you will have access to visualizations and gracenote and an update function for music lryics, I actually think its awesome and don't know why its been disabled.
Thanks for the tip! Just got this working on mt ATT One M8 running nV Rom. It took me a while to get the default.xml to actually save my edits, but what I ended up doing was rebooting to TWRP recovery, mounting /system and using the console to pull up vi and edit the file. Was a bit of a pain, but it looks awesome!
Works great thanks! It was very easy to do. I just edited the file with x-plore and then I changed the permissions back, rebooted and it worked. Btw it worked with BoomSound!
Cool ...nice to hear it works for boomsound aswell, why HTC disabled it is beyond me, the option itself works fine, its gracenotes database that seems to be a bit dodgy, they don't have enough information for lryics, seems its just the most popular albums/tracks, most of the stuff I listen to cant get the lryics, like metric and feedme, think its mainly charts.
Tty and hearing aid enhancement also works ....just enable in default.XML, there's loads of features turned off, these 2 modes are very much needed, well. I can say for sure hearing aid enhancement would be much needed by ppl.

Play some music, if its working properly an icon will pop up in notification draw, open the draw click on music channel and see. It suppsed to detect any music player but I expect theres limitations, works on googleplay and stock ...not tried any other, htc's music player as got a cropped down version of the music channel tied only the that app, this one should be global.
Now that I'm back stock (but still S-Off), can i get this to work?
Before stock, i tried Viper Rom, and this Rom has the channel enabled...
This is rad! Such a fail on their part for having this defaulted to off. I tried it with Google play music and spotify and it worked no problem. I used root explorer to change everything needed and took two seconds. Thank you soooo much!!!!

Yes, will work on stock, its part of htc's rom, its installed because there music app uses it, but htc disabled the global use.
Just enabled it for ARHD 10.2. Fantastic! Thank you!
i have a line for "support_music_ringtone", another line in the same area for "support_outdoor_mode"... nothing that says "support_music_channel" though... any ideas?
For people who cannot get the Lyrics to work it is due to Gracenote country restrictions.
If you cannot get lyrics for music , download any VPN app and browse as a US user.
I personally prefer Tunnelbear.
then after you turn it on go to the music channel , click the menu button then update lyrics..wait a couple of seconds and your lyrics will be there.
I only needed to do this once..it is working now even after i turned VPN off.

It's all the way at the bottom, about a half dozen or so lines up.

This feature is already there just no such special dedicate button popup at notification.
During playback of song, scroll to right at main music player (from now playing to visualizer) and you will get the exact same thing.

Htc's music visualizer's not global/system wide, as wrote above, its in the htc music app but htc disabled it for use on other music apps, It also has its own play/stop/skip buttons in full screen plus, I think it enables a few more visuals but not 100% on that as I never looked in the music app, if someone wants to look before they enable it and give feedback ..that would be great.

Oh others music apps. That I didn't use others apps.
But for HTC own apps, it is there.
I'm using it now with Amazon Prime. Is there a way to turn off the lyrics and just have the visualizations?
