Now that we have Root, can someone get Netflix to work on the Thrive?
I know that the Transformer has a hack (Some System file replacement) that let the netflix work on it.
Can we get something like that on the Thrive?
You can actually use that hack... If you are talking about the .zip you flash in recovery... I did it last night and have had no issues.
netflix works on all tabs now I think, there's a apk floating around.

With or without root?
I say you need to share this apk with us so we can find out.
Netflix does work on this tab with root and the hack. Prior to root though it was not working with just installing the .apk as confirmed here: thriveforums.org/forum/toshiba-thrive-apps/1145-app-working-netflix-honeycomb.html. Sorry I don't have enough posts yet to allow me to use working links, so you can just cut and paste.

Nope, it doesn't work on a stock Thrive, or some other tablets on 3.1 or 3.0. If you're rooted, you can get around it.

exe and zip files to use netflix
Sorry, I'm a newbie & I don't get a lot of the terminology here... I downloaded an exe file and a zip file that were supposed to help me get Netflix to work. But, I can't seem to open the files. It tells me there's no known associated file type. What do I do to get net flix to work (in layman's terms)?

I don't know what files you downloaded, but to get the netflix app to work, you should have downloaded a .zip file from the asus transformer section, which you flash from the clockwork custom recovery.

I just got this
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre7.apk
works in AP mode with encryption, i'm running pmf v2.1 (rom version, not android version) and everything is good. Thanks a ton to the devs, sorry if this was posted already but i haven't seen it. So i figured I would give people an update...
Installing now, I don't even see this posted on their site for download though (even though it's clearly coming from their site), how odd
edit: does this still require fw_bcm4329.bin in the android.tether folder?

Where did you try to put a 7?
So the folder android.tether still has to be there? Ugh! I thought I read some where that once you go to 2.2, you no longer need that folder..Now I need to find that file again and reinstall it..
Okay, which version of Wireless tether.apk is working for 2.2(froyo)?

The APK he linked works fine. Copy the fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin file in the /system/etc/firmware folder into the /sdcard/android.tether folder, and rename it to fw_bcm4329.bin. Then install the linked APK, tether to your heart's content, confirmed to be working broadcasting in AP mode and works perfectly
Its ALIVE!!!! Yay....

Thank you .......
Again pardon my ignorance but I haven't had to put a fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin on my phone and Wireless tether works beautifully for me.
Works, thanks!
Installed APK and that's it. Works great. Thank you!!
Works great on my Evo! I just had to install the apk, didn't have to do any custom steps.
Works great!

Same here, if there is support for this in the kernel (for example any of Hydra's Kernels should work), then this file is not required.

thats because the Incredible doesn't allow anything Apple to connect to it, it is against their code lol
On a real note, my friend came over yesterday and he had his blackberry and iphone connected. What rom are you running?
I don't know about iPhone except that my friend with an iPhone could connect to me fine. However, some blackberries can't connect to an Adhoc network and I came through as Adhoc instead of wifi so it wouldn't connect. ON another note I showed on the same friend with an iPhone on her laptop as 802.11b/g/n I was the fastest option she had in our office.
Guys this app isn't listed in my region "E! Online". I tried to find it on google but couldn't find it. So if anyone has it please kindly upload the .apk file so i can install it.
Thanks in advance.

I got it from US market
See attached file. But it is in ZIP format. No idea how to install it.
Maybe you can use MarketEnabler, choose T-Mobile-US and then you can install it from Android market.
Or you get it from here with a barcode scanner
thanks for info.

Well thanks for the upload. but i installed it before you uploaded the apk.
Last night i installed the app "My Market" which enables you to download the apps from other regions. I don't know how it works but that things doesn't require root phone. Now i can access the any region market.
And Thanks a lot you took time to find out this app for me. Really appreciated.
I just got a new OTA update. It is still showing 3.1, but the build is now 8.4.4.11-20110711.
If you can't get the update to flash successfully try this method below.

In my case, Mexico. i get new apps, like TegraZone Games, Videos(name of the app).
I cannot install the update. When it reboots to install, I get the Android thingy with a big yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it. I suppose the reason I cannot install is because I am running Netformer 1.5.
run aLogCat and get the OTA link please.
When/if you see the notification that you have an update available -- stop everything and run the aLogcat app.
Send the log file to yourself via email (that's built into the app)
Look through the log file on your computer, searching for a URL
Try any URL's that you find on your computer's browser
When you find one that downloads a zip file, save the zip file to your computer
Shout from the rooftops, and share that URL
Then upload and mirror it somewhere

or if you want you can just email me the log file and ill obtain the OTA link. pm me if you want my email to email it to.

If people stop accepting the OTA / ignoring me and did what I said in the previous post about aLogCat I could go into the zip and dig some things out of it for rooted/custom ROM'd users.
Just do it before you actually take the OTA. It will be most appreciated.
How do you run logcat from the terminal or adb?
I'm running a rooted stock ROM and the OTA is downloading now...

Depends on if your ROM is odex dependent or not. Even if it's a deodexed ROM, pushing both won't hurt any. (unless it does, in which case i've never come across after doing it for so long)

I don't think its as simple as pushing the file. I'm pretty sure that the ring would need some modifications to the framework
Ok so I posted this in the Q&A a few days ago and haven't gotten a single response. Do here it is again
I am porting the native Play ps1 emulator to my LG esteem. They both share the same exact chipset so the esteem can run it. I currently have been working on a few things and found the file that calls on the ps certificate buried in all PlayStation certified devises. Now my problem is that I font own an xperia play so I font know where to put or get this certificate. Can any one direct me to or provide me with a current system image that is extractable so I can browse it on my Pc.
I will except any and all help that is relevant.
I have two esteems to test on.
Thank you
Maybe this will help.

Good luck with this. R800 users on CM can't even get this installed.
I definitely will be telling everyone interested. by the way what is the semcsuite.apk for? Maybe if I know a little more about it I could figure out a little more.
ro.product-res-path-framework/semcgenericuxpRes.apk
Anybody know what that is? Man I hate being a noob.
Okay forget tho, I have been swapping files, adding permissions, replacing .jars, I have done about 15 backup and restored. I think I need some sleep. Does anyone know how to modify an apk? When I wake up IM going to extract the semcsuite apk and scoured it's programming for whatever only allows it to install on Sony devices, anyone done this already?
