Anyone having any luck with netflix update - Acer Iconia A500

There's been an update to the netflix app at this forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
The a500 is on the list for working devices, but I have had no luck. Only thing I get is
no more request to update and I can see my queue.

Nope.
Can login and fiddle with queue - but unable to stream.

My app prompts me to update and I press "yes" brings me to the market where, when I try to update, it comes with request cannot be completed.
So I can't even update

I downloaded the apk from Droid-Life, supposedly the same one found in the XDA Netflix thread, and it works for me. The picture quality is horrible for the first 30 seconds or so but then improves dramatically. I played three videos for a few minutes each. I haven't had time to watch anything from start to finish.

I have an Iconia I bought yesterday, updated to the latest OTA update, then rooted. No custom ROM for me and the Netflix patch appears to work on mine (testing just 1 video).

Just to confirm I'm using the apk from Droid-Life.com and not the one posted by 18.4009. All I had to do was install the apk. No system file hacks required.

When you re-enter the game does it say it needs to download more files. Mine was doing the same and when I would go back into the app it would say that I needed 131 mb more. So I changed my screen to never turn off and redownloaded the remaining. Worked great after that. I'm running byakhee ROM.

Well **** I installed Thor's new transformer rom cause it sounded sweet and IS. But now my NOVA 2 does not work either. ****! Just goes through video and once video is done goes to black screen for a second and then nothing, back to app drawer. Damn Damn.
EDIT: Well swapped out my BuildProp and NOVA now starts and runs normally. But the free copy of asphalt 6 hd that I got from game loft now shows as "Not an orginal copy of Asphalt 6". Work in progress.
Well if u get everything working on that Thor rom you let me know that's my favorite rom by far
As of now everything works so I ain't switching out.. Netflix, hulu,Nova 2, and Asphalt 6 but GPS is screwed up still.. and my phone has crappy GPS as well.. so .. lol
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using Tapatalk
Well i have created a build.prop that allows Nova to play as well as Dungeon hunters but still no go on Asphalt. I went through the .apk and was looking to see if there is something that could possibly geat changed once it gets installed once. I have emailed gameloft to try and get a new copy and see how that works. Keep fingers crossed.
EDIT: Gameloft sent me download link and redownloaded. Saved copy on computer and uninstalled copy on tab, cleared data first. Rebooted and then installed new copy and low and behold she works flawlessly. So I have all three games working smoothly with Thor's newest v9.3 rom. What a sweet set up.

I got it from tegraowners. You'll need to download both the 9.2 link and 9.3. I also upgraded to his 3.9 kernel. Here is the build.prop I created.
http://hotfile.com/dl/132927955/89da6cd/build.prop.html
When you download the 9.3 update, open the .zip first and install this prop where to other one is located. This will ensure your tablet is identified as a Iconia. Make sure you do a full wipe.
Do u think I should you have no ideahat problems I've been throught getting Gameloft games working lol and now everything is. I had problem even with stock rom right now I'm on a custom a500 clivitos mix latest I just don't want to go through the pain of my games and apps not working again.. is honeycomb 3.2.1 that different?

Acer Day Planner

Is there a way to get the Acer Day Planner app, which comes in the A100?
My guess download the .apk from system dump and modify .build prop THOUGH I could be completely wrong..
So download system dump, or a100 rom if acceptable then take the desired .apk out if it doesn't work right off the bat which im assuming it won't you will need to edit the .build prop ...
Hope this helps hit the thanks if it does!

Thanks, I'm gonna look for a A100 rom...
EDIT: I've tried it and it didn't work on the A500... unfortunately. As you said... Who knows if Acer release a "10.1" version of this nice app...

After installed, the app loads in portrait mode, because of the A100 specs, I think... no problem about that, but... when I touched on "Start" to configure it, then I got force close everytime I tried it.
It didn't work absolutely.
I don't know what to do with it dry bud..
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
The app has dependencies. Namley the email and calendar apps. So chances are those and who knows what else needs to go into it. I have to agree its probably the best planner app out there. Would be nice to get an effort to port it. If we find all the parts for it chances are it should be doable. Might explain the force closes. I could be way off as I am in the process of trying. But if it works it should just be as simple as having a set of apps to copy to whatever device (ideally I'd like it to work on my phone too but that might be asking too much lol)

You need to flash the zip with custom cwm (recovery)
Or you need to put it in system/app but for that you need also root acces.

Just make a backup and try it, if something isn't right afterward just restore your backup.
Thanks for the link, I flashed it and do notice some improvement
Tried to flash this on my stock 6.2.2 KF and was unsuccessful. Is it only compatible with cooked gingerbread ROMs? Thx for your help in advance.

Sounds interesting. I always thought it was a marketing gimmick. Did it work on ICS too?
Not sure how people are making this work for KF. Tried several times through twrp and it didn't install. Did the manual push, which lead to my device getting bricked. I think I'm gonna stay away for now till the kinks get ironed out unless anyone with a KF can help me successfully install.

Yes. I believe the thread said it was for Gingerbread only, but some ICS folks had luck. I do not think there was any talk of the stock KF firmware, nor was it designed to install correctly on that firmware.
On a side note, it does not really install correctly on anything, must people just thought they heard a difference unless they went through the manual installation process.

Yeah when I read the original thread, it just listed GB ROMs as compatible and so it installed fine on my infuse 4G. Since I already was running voodoo sound on my infuse, couldn't be sure on whether the sound is really all the way different, but some songs and their bass sound a little clearer than before.

[Q]Acer_A500_041.203.01_COM_GEN1 Update. Have anyone tested this new update?

Is the Acer_A500_041.203.01_COM_GEN1 the ICS update or it's still Honeycomb?
There is a way to get root access in this update?

I believe it might be same version he currently has in his rom. If I'm not mistaken. Maybe I am, but I believe the same update was already listed on Vache's site? a .31 I think?

Does youtube works under ics now??

Installed ics 4.0.3 everything works great and love it! But youtube doesn't work. I know its expected behavior,but was wondering if there is a work around or I missed something. Additionally, chrome is not loading page under kindle fire. While it opens fine but nothing is showing up.

What ROM are you using? YouTube should work with most of the ICS/CM9 Roms.
I am using the rom/CM9 from this link - is it too old? Where I can find the most stable version?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411895
I didn't have the Google Apps package installed, I downloaded the youtube app from the play store, is this the root cause?
