It just crashes whenever I sign in. Got my hopes up for nothing. :C
Oh well, I guess I'll wait. :/
EDIT: Also running stock with the bali kernel, so stock could be the problem.
Same here, crash on sign in
Works on CM7 build 8.
Streams smooth even on 3G and the quality is good!

Hmm... post all of your settings, if your overclocked, modem, and stuff like that. There's something common (other then Froyo) that is making it crash.
I used the version from the market if that helps. Other than that I have a bone stock CM7 build 8 Vibrant.

Well, the netflix app has always worked on CM7. It looks like Froyo builds just crash on sign in. This sucks so much.

No, I'm running stock because I soft-bricked my phone (no idea how), and don't feel like running CM7.
I'm going to leave my sig like this. False Advertising ftw.

Device check was removed. It doesn't give us "Your device is not supported", it just randomly crashes.
yup yup yup. uninstalled the hacked one and downloaded the newest from the market and it works fine on cm7 (8).

yes.
Because it only works in Gingerbread.
They removed the warning that it wouldn't work, and they're just letting it crash instead.

Hmm....
Sneaky bastards.
It worked on Bi-Winning V2 for like 2 hours, then started crashing again.
Oh well. :/
The new market version doesn't work on NextGen V2 (overclocked 1.4 kernel). It crashes as soon as you sign in.
The older mod2 version would at least let you log in and let you do things, but then just give you that 1005 error about the server.
It works fine on my ROM which is CM7, not sure if it'll work on the Evo which is running stock, what's dumb enough is that I can't get the application from the market (dumb Sprint)
Netflix doesn't require Gingerbread on its own, just GB on Vibrant. I use Netflix on my Archos 101 (stock, non rooted) tablet all the time, and that's on Froyo (and unlike Vibrant will likely never get Gingerbread)

Does Archos 101 has a snapdragon processor? I am starting to think something about hummingbird is not letting netflix run on 2.2.

Traded my iPhone 4 for a Streak and it came with 2.2 What steps do I have to take to go to StreakDroid FroYo v1.5.1? Thanks.
This is your first Android phone, right? It was mine too. If you're already at 2.2, play with the apps there for a couple of days while you figure out how to upgrade. That way you will have a list of apps that you want to have on your final firmware.
There's very good threads about how to upgrade. You may brick your phone (or at least think you did) but keep working on it. I've found solutions for everything I needed already discussed on the board.

IMO, the 2.2 stock is better with the performance tweaks. I havent had any problems since being on 318

Nope. I was on the HTC G1 for quite a bit and then moved on to HTC Legend and then the iPhone 4. I do know my way around Andriod quite a bit actually. Just havent been up to date. Most of the guides I saw are for 1.6 to custom rom. I dont know what I must be doing since I am already on 2.2 stock.

Your phone showing up with stock 2.2 is pretty sweet. I had to dump 318 since I think DJ_Steve's 1.5.1 is better, but there's still some things like the camera that are weak.

I'm in Singapore and the phone was just released about a week or 2 ago
I still cant get the front cam to work though. In the Camera app, I can only see the tab to change to Video mode. No switch for the front cam.
Mines also came with stock 2.2 build and unlocked for T-Mobile. I just flashed djsteves froyo build and IMHO, it runs a lot smoother and faster than stock build

My streak died on me... I couldnt get signal and and i saw that the Airplane mode was enabled. So I tried to disable it but it wouldnt. So rebooted and tried again. Same problem. Decided to do a factory reset.
And then it got stuck with the Dell logo. So I am trying to flash DJ_Steve's rom over now. Hope it boots.
Because it's not working for me! any updates on this? or is there just nothing happening?
Well considering there's no official 2.2.. I'm sure its a low priority. Sorry

Most of the custom dk28 roms should run skype. There was a mod of skype floating around here a while ago that had 3g and wifi capabilites, which is supposed to be exclusive to vz, but skype still didn't have vid for the phone so I wasn't interested. Good luck! Its back down the ladder of posts many many rungs, to be exactly how many no one really knows....

RE: SWYPE
So, I was previously running MidNight and I coulnd't figure out how to get Swype to work. I'm now running Bonzia4All and it works great ... I loved Midnight - and it was probably just me ...
BTW - I didn't know that Swype was broken in stock rom. Is it?
Settings -> local and text -> make sure it has Swype in there ... toggle it back and forth .. I dunno.
Like I said, I just thought it was broken after I rooted and Custom Rom the phone.

I flashed, its DL my apps now Seemed somewhat smooth, though I use launcherPro anyway. It looks like AOSP not a CM rip off like I have read, but I may be wrong...
edit...I do NOT have a toggle for 4G anywhere!!! A deal breaker for most
Back 2 CM7 it is
What's the point of using this rom when we have cm7 ....? Just curious.

The way I see it is CM keeps adding and adding stuff, rather than perfecting. I personally flashed back to CM, but once a true AOSP come out it on!
edit...just want to add that since the merge of 2.3.3 battery is worse, and reboots take longer, speaking of CM7 of course.
I seen that its available for other phones but hasn't been ported to our phone I really want to try it out

The Virtuous team (specifically eViL D, I think) is working on a port and will probably be released in the [somewhat] near future. Keeping checking the dev section or their website.

actually one has already been released on android maisters but the camera isnt working nor the camcorder however video playback is a go so it shouldnt be too long before they fix that but everything else is working you can dowload it and try it out just google "android-maister" without quotations of course

I'm aware of that one, but I never recommend only partially functional ROMs. The Virtuous team's will be fully functional and stable, hence why it's take a while to finish.

Im waiting for their port as well. I like Virtuous Unity a lot but the scaling issues sorta bug me. Seeing that the screen size from the mytouch4g slide is roughly the same size as ours it should fit perfectly.

The MT4G Slide has the same resolution screen, so no re-scaling is necessary. What scaling issues do you experience in VU? I experience none. There was something small with the Calender widget, but that's been fixed in the latest version.

Ya im waiting for the virtuous version too since rafy's versions still has some major things to be fixed, like camera and etc
this may be outdated/unnecessary but i figured that i'd share / hope others would share too
im still skeptical about moving on to ICS for the vibrant just bc i need a phone that works 100% correctly all the time... so im still on froyo.
currently running bionix fishman mod final2 w/ bali-x @ 1.2ghz
essentially froyo tweaked in many ways w/ the appwidgetpicker
along with the miui camera, s.gps2 for gps fix, setcpu, and bln
is anyone else flashing any additional necessary files when they flash their roms??
share!

Fishman is good. My needs are different. I need a Rom that is atleast 2.2.1. So the capacitive buttons dont blind me on each screen press. I'd recommend ultimate rom or biwinning with the sense or sgs2 theme. I also use Bali undervolt kernel. If you haven't already test out the modems for your area. For instance for me its KB1.

I was on ICS Passion and 100% functionality is a stretch. Browsing through the thread reveals that damn near everyone else has problems too. I have issue with these devs that claim everything works when it's clearly a lie.
I'm using Fishman's 2.2 rom right now. No need to flash any other files for my needs. So far it's been pretty good.

i agree... im still on the fence of flashing an ICS rom but i think ill wait another couple of weeks bc im in no hurry to move on from a 100% functional rom
personally i think the miui camera is essential and am not sure why more people dont flash it over their roms. i use that & the stock hd recorder for a better camera experience
i also went back to a 2.2 rom...TARD...can yall post the links to the extras...i would love to try that s.gps fix...think what it was...

CM9's 16B is so functional that I put it on my Dad's phone, and he says it's running much better than it did before on Bionix. The only issue he and I have been having is the GPS, which never has worked from the beginning for us anyways, and very minor things (like the menu for toggle widgets is called lockscreens or something).
ICS is pretty awesome. You may want to give it a shot... I recommend the Icy Glitch kernel to go with CM9.

when you say never worked, do you mean it as GPS ideally should? or even to the low standards of how the vibrant's GPS is supposed to work?
personally since everything works 100% as best as it possibly can right now on my vibrant with bionix fishman mod without a hardware gps fix, i'm very reluctant to move onto ICS if the GPS wont even lock within around 30 secs or so like i can get it to do with froyo especially if it is something i need eventually
minor things like menu names i can definitely deal with, but if froyo's GPS works better overall compared to an ICS rom, i see absolutely no reason to make the switch with this phone. if i need ICS that badly, i will get a new phone
