Netflix App just auto updated. I have been able to open and play 3 movies.
Wanted to make sure everyone knew that I am not a dev. I did not make this nor did I modify the official app.
I originally used this as a queue manager but noticed that when I opened it today it auto updated.
You can find the APK here.
Its in a zip. Do not flash. its one of my quirks to zip everything.

Very interesting, has anyone tried this?

Still Not working for me
Tried this earlier tonight. I could not find an update for my already installed Netflix app. Netflix was still throwing up the server error when trying to stream.
I did not try the zip file nor did I attempt to download it.

I had tried and if you look across the net apparently it was working for evo's and eventually netflix shutem down lol. awesome though should be sooner than later that we get a working app for netflix.

I tried this as well, no luck but I did get an email knocking off 3% from Netflix because I couldn't get on.

Exchange ActiveSync problem

Anyone having hardtime setting up exchange activesync on A500? I can't seem to find an option to set it up.all it has is POP3 and IMAP
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

That is because it doesn't have it. Touchdown or K9 work. Touchdown for tablets is especially nice.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App

Is it possible to get the .apk from Xoom or ASUS transformer(not sure if exchange is available).
I want it bad as well both touchdown and K9 doesn't work for me but I could easily connect from my desire HD.

Actually now that we have root that may work. I will test it. I have zero fear of bricking anything as I have a hookup on getting it swapped if needed.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App

it is dumb that it doesnt. The honeycomb port for nook color had it. HTML email and all. Acer must have stripped it out or not included. Come to think of it I am going to see if I can find it in there! would swapping out the mail.apk work, my guess is not till we have a deoxed rom, correct....bummer

And working.

Download, extract, use root explorer to rename email.apk and email.odex to email.apk.old and email.odex.old, place in /system/app, set permissions to rw-r-r, reboot, enjoy.
I would have made a flashable .zip, but we don't have cwm yet, lol.

I did notice no folder level sync, just inbox. Bollocks. Also, change your signature. It says Asus eee pad transformer.

May be Xoom can sync folders.why would Acer do something stupid like this,scare off the enterprise customers?

Hmm, link works for me. Tested on three devices. I can reupload, but it will be later.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App

I must be missing a step. I have renamed the Email.apk and Email.odex in system/app to Email2.apk and Email2.odex.
Then copied the 2 extracted files to system/app .
But no go, I don't have an exchange option when setting up email accounts....
I've probably missed something that is totally obvious, maybe someone could point out to me what it is...
Thanks

You probably forgot to set permissions.
This worked wonderfully, thanks!

I did set the permissions... so I don't know what I've done wrong.
Do you now have a setting when manually configuring an email account to setup as exchange, or should I be looking elsewhere for it?
Edit: got it sorted out, it wasn't enough to just rename the original files, I had to take them out of the system\app folder all together. Now it's working as it should. Thanks

Great works like a charm....

Brilliant saves me having to pay for the full version of touchdown!

Does this sync contacts as well?

Is there any free release of Root Explorer ? or any alternative ?

Netflix .apk here!

I have the (unofficial) Netflix app for Android here, I heard that the servers have been opened now so it should theoretically work; I am going to test it and report back.
(Attached below)
*Edit: I have tested this app and it runs however when trying to stream a movie it will display a message along the lines of "your device is not supported"

No go
I'm getting a force close upon login using this apk. Anyone else having better luck?

I found another .apk in a different thread com.netflix.mediaclient-1.apk 5.44mb and I have the same issues. Gives the your device not supported. Does let you log in and seems to be stable, but can't view any movies. Everytime you try it just comes back saying device not supported.

only streams on 5 phones not ours

Did that too and still get the force closed upon signing in... are you on stock(besides rooted)...

I got the "device not supported" message, but was able to get a login screen after waiting a few seconds. I logged in, but can't stream.

maybe we can edit one of the lib files inside the apk? much like was done on the Adobe Flash Player lib file to enable hulu playback on our phones. I don't know how to do this, but an idea nonetheless.

im new to the android thing but would changing the fingerprint in build.prop file be enough to trick the app into thinking the phone is supported?
havent tried it myself yet..

They got it to work on nook color by just editing the build.prop
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
And then rebooting.
Has anyone else tried this?

Just tried this , not working I only changed the two fields you suggested but not working, there are lot of other fields that can be changed, I made a back up of my original so I will play around with it

Does anyone have a netflix account that I can use to try to see if I can access it from my phone? I will not change any account information.

same here...it just craps out
I also tried "T-Mobile G2" and that failed as well
any other strings we can try for other devices are supported at the moment?
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
(I don't think any of the above have similar enough hw to the tegra board we have)
I did notice there is 5 .so files device{1-5}.so when you unzip the .apk file. I tried mucking with .js files to force the app into accepting a device string instead of polling the device but I'm failing at creating a workable apk file.
I used apktool and auto-sign but when I install my modified apk (even if it's just repacked) it fails to run...i'll leave that for another day; i've got much to learn in the android world....

Netflix Lib Files

Can someone with a ROOTED 3.1 Iconia and Netflix running post the lib files? I want to try and port/hack them to the Transformer to get Netflix running since it runs on the Iconia and not the Transformer.
TIA

First wrong section and second Netflix unless in the last couple days something amazing happened. It does not work? Even with build prop editing
General would be the section you should post in.

It does work on the Iconia, a lot of people have reported it working. I guess if a mod could move it over that would help. I might just delete this and start a new one. But it also works on the XOOM, Galaxy Tab and now the Iconia, now just need it to work on the Transformer.

Did you try googling the netflix.zip files. You can flash it through CWM if you find it. It will contain the lib files. I'm at work but I'll try to find it later

Simple enough, change you r Build.prop info to match the Nexus S. If you got as far as you did, then changing the platform info might let it stream. Just make sure to back up you original Build.prop to revert if it doesn't work.
Also, you will need to reboot when changing the file for it to take hold, and it will affect the Market.

bump.
really want this to be confirmed as 'working streaming' and not simply editing of queue items.

[Request][App] NFL Mobile

Now that the lockout is over and football is just a few weeks away; how difficult would it be to get the NFL app working on the A500?
I downloaded the apk from a thread on xda, but I couldn't get it to work...
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App

Don't think this will be an option. It's a Verizon only app and it verifies the phone is on their network before running. I tried to install it from my phone and it wouldn't work. Couldn't verify network.
The only Verizion exclusive app I can get to work on the tablet is the Indy Car app.

I think this question started out as an A500 port idea then ended up saying it will work on this handset but not that - If you are trying to get the pp to work on your phone - use Market Enabler from the market to spoof your phone on Verizon - works for me here in Australia.
as for the A500 - we have to wait for someone to work out how to set locations another way?

Gotta find a way to fake a phone number for the tablet for the market enabler app to work, but it looks like it'd work if we could fake a phone number
Unless someone has a better idea

It's more than just a phone number. Verizon verifies you are a customer on their cellular network. With no way for the Iconia to connect to a cell network, no way for app to verify you are a Verizon customer. While you can use the NFL app with WIFI, it still verifies you are on the cell network.

I hate to bust everyone's bubble but Verizon has made streaming video a premium service this year that requires a monthly subscription to vcast video as well.

No streaming, but here's the official NFL application for tablets.
