[PATCH] Netflix Fix - Thunderbolt Android Development

This patch will replace effectively the entire media library stack with a newer version, allowing Netflix to function on Gingerbread ROMs. The patch does not contain the Netflix apk itself, just the libs to fix playback. As far as I know, the patch WILL NOT work on Froyo.
Several folks on IRC confirmed the patch works. However, I recommend a Nandroid backup before applying the patch. Worst case, you can re-install your ROM to revert the changes. No wipes or anything are needed.
Enjoy!

Posting to confirm this works on both 3g and Wifi on Bamf 2.0-4.01 with imoseyon's 2.5.3test7 GB kernel. Thank you so very much, rmk.

I love you if this works on my bamf 2 beta.

Flash in recovery?

Awesomesauce! You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Running BAMF 2.0 Beta 4.01, Modded Beta 7 kernel, and flashed this zip file in recovery and installed a netflix apk i got. Works flawlessly. Tested it over 3g and wifi (4g was being wonky at the time) and works perfectly. The Other Guys looks awesome, cant wait to watch it. I resigned up for netflix just for this!
HUGE thanks to RMK for this, amazing work.

Yep I just did. As soon as I can run the apk I'm testing it.

Oh yeah! May have to get Netflix again for this.

Works perfect for me on Bamf 2 Beta 2.401 and the latest Imo kernel!! 3G and WIFI tested and confirmed.
Thank you!!!

Simple and plain....It works!!! Thanks RMK.

rmk... you the man!!

thanks so much! works perfect. I actually just subscribed

The second I tested and it worked I immediately did a nandroid backup. It's perfect rmk!

Works perfect on BAMF 2.0.4 and the newest kernel from Imo. Great work!

G-Sensor Fix for TnT & VEGAn-TAB

********UPDATE now it should work with almost all games .... still messes up the mouse though for now. *********
Thanks to weeds2000 for originally fixing it on the Folio and Dexter_nlb for pointing it out to us.
***This fix will patch everything needed for G-Sensor to be correct for most games.**** These are in update.zip format and need to be flashed with clockwork... if you are on stock recovery you will need to add the zip to a compatible recovery update file.
TnT STOCK and LITE Latest Versions:
PULLED - WORKING ON V2 PATCH
VEGAn-TAB BETA 4 Fix:
http://vegantab.gojimi.com/download/VEGAn.b5.GSensor.Fix.v2.zip
As always I am not responsible for any thing that happens during the course of you using this update.... ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP!
Your Supreme Geek Lord!
Will the vegan b4 fix there work fine for vegan b3?
I've heard of so many issues with the lag-on-wake in vegan b4 I never upgraded, and b3 runs great!
Thanks, gojimi - I'll have a 3.1.3 TNTL supplement today
So far , so good. I have one borked game that I test with and so far it's working.
erm...
patched on vegan b4... nonstop fc's, system unusable, didn't make a backup. awesome.
Patched on TnT-Lite V312.
Asphalt5 was -90 degree before, now plays perfectly in landscape, full screen.
Thanks to all devs.
Confirmed...

Krazy Kart game works now
Awesome! I was wondering why I couldn't get the Krazy Kart game to work right. Thought it was only my system. Applied to TNT 3.1.2 and now it works!
Thanks very much.
Just a note, this will of course work with any version of 3389 TnT, unless I'm forgetting something.

I'd like to know this as well. Going to go ahead and do some backups to try it.
Awesome! Works great with Beta 4. Also using the lag fix and it is working great. What a difference from the software on the tablet when it showed up at my house November 4th..
First thanks for the great job!
I am running tnt lite 2.4, after applying the update, whenever I pressed the volume key the tab got rebooted. anyone has the similar issue?

That is because you are on an old framework for TnT. You need to be running the 3389 TnT to use this.

So just for clarification, this should work on stock TnT 3389 with only Gapps and market fix implemented?

my bad. thanks!
Same trouble here, not running 3389. Anyway to back out this update? I don't want to wipe this thing out right now.
It did fix the sensor though
Another possible side effect is I can't seem to mount usb storage. I think I will just re-apply the 2.4 zip.
UPDATE, reinstalled 2.4 and things are back to normal. Seems the usb storage issue must be something else. Just going to wait till the speed issue is solved with 3.x before I muck around again.

In Settings - About Tablet, you'll see the TnT version. On stock, you'll see the actual stock version ie 2096, or 3389. If you have TnT Lite, you'll see that version instead.

netflix on android 3.2?

I think I read somewhere Netflix is broken with 3.2. You could drop back to 3.1 or hang tight until the issue has been fixed.

Not true. Using my own variant of a stock 3.2 ROM (rooted, currently trying thors 3.2 kernel v3.5), it works fine with the old Asus patch and the latest Netflix 1.4.x apk.
Make sure you reboot your tab after replacing the Asus lib and setting perms to match the original .so lib. My camcorder still FCs in 3.2 like it did in 3.1, unfortunately I haven't found a fix for that. No biggie though...I can just swap the lib and reboot in minutes if I want to video record.
This worked for me with rooted 3.2

Wow. This 'patch' has been floating around some time. I remember having to do that with my Gtab to get Netflix to work. This created a problem is that was now the identity of the device, not just how Netflix identified the device. Still, I know lots of folks didn't see that as a biggie just so they could get a working Netflix app.

Thanks for the correction. I'm trying out Falcon's HC 3.2 ROM and noticed Netflix installed and opened without FC. I don't use the app but I like your solution.
This may be of interest:

(This ought to work on non rooted 3.2 acer a500 installs as well)
Awesome... Downloaded the modified v1.4.1 app, cleared cache and data for the existing installed app, and then uninstalled the existing app (note: I hadn't previously modified build.prop or changed out the libnvomx.so file). Works perfectly!
Thanks to ezterry!!
EDIT: I'm running unrooted, stock Android 3.1
Nice hack!! Thanks ezterry!
Awesome.. I just got the update to 3.2 today, removed the Netflix .so hack prior to update, and just installed this. Works perfect! Thank you for your efforts
Thanks ezterry! works great on an unrooted 3.2!
works great on stock/unrooted Android 3.2! Thanks!
Thanks! Works great after 3.2 upgrade.
Works great. Thanks for helping us get Netflix working on the A500.

Netflix for A500 with Rotation

I took ezterry's and Dblfstr's work and modded the Netflix app.
This runs on my rooted 3.2 A500 (should work on non-rooted) and has rotation enabled, so you can watch or browse in any direction.
Let me know if it works for you.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19684921/NetflixA500RotationBlack.apk
Based on the 1.4.1 app of exterry's.

Finally a version that works on my non-rooted 3.2 A500. Thanks so very much, awesome job.
SWEET... works for me without the patch on rooted 3.1!!! Now the question is can I live without root... I needed root for netflix and the patch and for CIFS mod... I use my CIFS occasionally but if there was a non rooted method then I wouldn't need root...
This half of my solution is great... Thanks so much for you effort OP
Awesome! Works perfect!!!
Edit: not rooted btw
Thank you! Just got my tablet yesterday. 3.2 a500 (non-rooted) and it works like a charm. Can't thank you enough.

What fails?
Probably an issue with the ROMs build.prop no longer looking like an A500 or maybe the library file has the patched version.
Can you run an md5sum on /system/lib/libnvomx.so?
Also, if you can send me the build prop I make figure out why it fails.
