Since there was no unified thread for this, I created one.
As everyone knows, Netflix is working on the Evo, but only on CM7 and Froyo Sense ROMs.
Those of us with the gingerbread sense (1, 2 or 3) ROMs don't have working Netflix.
I have been reading through the various ROM's threads and it seems that we don't really know what is going on. The app makes it as far as the loading/buffering screen before turning completely white and then goes back to the app home screen.
So I create this thread with 2 purposes
-to keep a central thread that all Evo owners can discuss the issue
-to attempt to find out what is wrong
-to hopefully fix a workaround/fix.
I know we can simply switch to CM7 or rollback to 2.2, but I really like having GB with sense and I'm sure others agree with me.
I agree, On all the Gingersense roms I've tried it does the same thing.
Virus has it fixed for the upcoming beta of his kingdom port.

i dont know if this has been said but virus kingdom rom's next update will have netflix.... should be ported to all other roms right after iam sure....
Does anyone know what the specific issue is?
It is it something that can be fix via flashable zip or does it require significant changes that necessitate a complete ROM flash?
Does anyone know what the fix is or does?
I'd like to try it out and if possible, make it usable on all ROMs, so we don't have to rely on his ROM (not that there is anything wrong with his ROM).
netflix on 2.3.4
Netflix is working on my Evo and I'm running deck's 1.2c, which I believe is 2.3.4 . I'm don't remember re-downloading netflix when i flashed 2.3.4 because I came from mikfroyo's 4.62 . I used TB to restore and it works just fine.

As I said, Netflix is working on all ASOP, CM7/CM7-derived ROMs. This thread is refering to Sense based GB ROMs for the Evo.

Do u know the ETA for the upcoming beta?
It seems that Virus isn't releasing a ROM with it fixed.
Does anyone at least know why it doesn't work?
There doesn't seem to be much details on this. Virus said that it was too buggy to be released, but details would be nice.

I believe netflix took the app off the market so you won't find it there.
Netflix will post an updated version, so its best just to wait, or run an asop ROM if you can't.
Hello, I'm new here and I've had my phone (GT540) for about 9 months now and went from 1.6 to 2.1 via the necessary LG update. I recently rooted my phone to uninstall some annoying system applications. I then thought about upgrading my phone, one friends got a Samsung Galaxy Ace and one has a Samsung Galaxy S II with 2.2 and 2.3, so I was wondering whether to upgrade my phone. The main points I'm thinking of are:
Is it easy to brick your phone ('cos I don't want to)
Is it worth it, 2.3 better than 2.1 or worth sticking with 2.1
I was hoping you guys could help me as you all seem pretty experience. Thanks!

Hello my opinion is if you want performance, stability, and all the options working stay with 2.1 or eather a custom 2.1 modified for better performance , which are quite some out there.
2.3 is faster yes , but still buggy and has cyanogenmod seetings (some like it, others can live without it), 2.2 kind of the same thing but a bit less faster.
Veronica
no skip to 2.3
I've been using cyanogen 7 for a wile now, when I put 2.1 on to test my app it almost made me cry, and I noticed a major speed difference.

I noticed the same thing when i used Mur4ik's CM 7 for GT540 , it was quick , but there are flaws , seriously , who wants flash to run on a small device ? That's gonna chew up batteries quickly .
Simply put , i love the OS , video playback a little flawed though , view 3 or so times of videos and i have to reboot the phone . ( v1.3 )
Thanks for your opinions, I think I'll go to 2.33 but then I heard somewhere you can downgrade it to LG 2.1.

2.3.4 is way better then 2.1 ! I would never be back to 2.1..
BTW: It's not so easy to brick an Android phone I've changed roms many times.
Try upgrading to 2.0 M4, more stable

or joestone 2.3
Thanks, I'm now running 2.3 Joestone!
i love cyanogenmod 7 its great but sometime it reboot so, good things have some bugs also ......i think u should try cm7 its great work of developers.
I'll give Cyano 7 a run, but from what I've seen, my ROM will be Joestone's
I don't like the memory problems in the CM7
I tried every version from 1.6 to 2.3.4, (i actually flash my phone once a week), and it's to early to say, but i think Mur4ik's 2.0 M5 is really far better then any else version.
Its really fast, for now no FCs, no unexpected shut downs, no lags, and battery is on 60%, and it's 2d3h on battery!

The fix for memory problems has been posted in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104399
CM7 is pretty slick and cool but I still prefer the stock looks over CM7. I really wish someone would put together a MoDaCo custom ROM style 2.2/2.3 ROM for GT540.
MoDaCo custom ROM is a ROM that has no visual modifications from stock but has several performance mods and hacks and an optimized kernel.
Hi, anyone want to engage in a discussion of the differences between the new Acer-based 3.1 Honeycomb ROMs??
We've got Dexter's Aconia ROM, Virtuous Picasso 1.0.5+, HoneyVillain, and maybe some others too. What are the pros and cons of each? I tried Dexter's PRIMEE ROM, but wasn't keen on the ASUS/Acer issues. I am currently running Virtuous 1.0.5, but think I might try Dexter's next. Now that these have gone to the leaked Acer 3.1, they should be easier to compare...
I'm talking ONLY the Acer-based ROMs... What works in one but not in the other, what does one do better than the other, etc., etc. Not trying to bash any one ROM -- I am sure each one is great -- just trying to figure out which one to go with long-term.
EDIT: I just realized I may have put this in the wrong place... sorry. If this should go in the "General" discussion, I apologize. Can it be moved or closed (and restarted in General)?
I was wondering the same. I now have the default stock 3.1 loaded and rooted my device. But reading the positive storys of the other roms, I actually want to try them. But not sure where to begin.
Perhaps Ill just wait a week or so and see which thread is most active, that will prob be the most popular rom

Main issue this leak is from china and for me my main issue is uk locale. Websites think I am in wrong region like bbc iplayer etc. English us is only language option in location. The Asus rom is global and when you buy a transformer the 3.1 updates downloads auto and asks you to install it. However Acer are lagging behind too busy with w500 tablet to offer us official 3.1. Asus rom also more multimedia focussed so many parts of it blow this Acer roms away. Widgets on Asus rom are great like email and weather even clock. Pcasso 1.07 is good but graphic glitches and reboots make it a no no for me. Honeyvillian is good but I need a bit more flare on this iconia. Picasso will push this tablet and get most out of it as m-deejay is a major dev. Too early to judge as we really just started here

I'm using tabonay right now, because it's the first one I found that did not require a data wipe when going from acer stock rom. (At the moment, i wasn't inclined to reinstall my apps and widgets). Can't say anything for the other 3.1 roms, as I havn't tried them yet.

Sticking with Virtuous 1.0.6
I have Virtuous 1.0.6 working flawlessly now; and given the nasty bugs that've been reported on 1.0.7 and on Dexter's mod, I won't be updating anytime soon. I don't have any need to overclock so I guess I'm fine with what I've got for now.
I'll wait until things settle down a bit and go with the ROM that seems the least buggy. I imagine things will continue to develop at a furious pace for a couple weeks, then slow down.

where you able to retain your apps from 3.0.1? or have to wipe/format...
I am running HoneyVillain and it may not have much flash as previously mentioned, it is very stable. Given how soon its been since the first ROM was ported, I am putting more emphasis on stability for now.
Well, since Virtuous 1.0.8 is now out with Acer and ASUS based ROMs, I took the plunge (I'm a sucker for new versions). It's awesome. Overclocked by default and running silky smooth.
I think you could probably skip a wipe (and thus keep your apps) if you go straight from 3.0.1 or 3.1 to Virtuous 1.0.8 (as long as you go with the Acer-based ROM). I'm not sure. I wiped before going to a custom ROM.
Keep in mind, you'll lose all settings on your system apps, as the system folder gets deleted.
In case I have missed any thing. Are there any kernel source available for Acer based 3.1 rom up to now? If no, why some self compiled kernel say it can compatible with both Acer & Asus 3.1 ROM? Thanks.
I am using leaked 3.1 advantage being there is no need to wipe out data , disadvantage cannot overclock .

got a day off from work today so gonna update to virtuous 1.0.8 and see how i get on. i have donation titanium backup so full data wipe isnt a prob for me.

which is the best rom for a500 and how can i root my a500 on android 4.0.3
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium HD app
The rom that shall not be named is the best one IMO. Not taking away from the devs here, but you can only push so far on modified stock (still think what you guys do out of the kindness of your hearts rocks though!).
As for rooting, you have 4.0.3 or you want to root and get 4.0.3? The processes are different for the different android versions, but check the development forum for this. There are some great guides on how to root from any official version.
Really, dude, both of these issues have been beat to death in literally hundreds of threads. Do a search on the development side of the forum.
don't reply
I don't care if it is the billionth time it is asked, that is why the forum is here. if you don't want to answer don't but don't ding someone for asking.
I have successfully rooted, tried two root tools, I have to look on the other computer to see what the one that was successful was, will try and get back to you on it.
there are many root tools though, don't be afraid to try em... i found to put the tool in the root directory of your computer seems to work best and make sure you use vista or xp, windows seven can be trouble.
am also looking for rom info myself, so if you find a good one let me know....

If is on 4.0.3, there is and easy way to root it. Do file, plug tab, run the app. Rooted.
If you want Roms. Install adb then then apx tool.
