solution to get netflix working!!!(for now)

so i noticed that no ones been able to get netflix to work on the xoom but ive been watching movies all the time on mine and i thought id share how. so all you need is a computer and an apk called splashtop remote HD.
all it is is just a remote client for your computer so that you can use your computer on the road. but the part where netflix comes in is that the app has an option already checked by default to play the sound and everything on the xoom speakers instead of the computer speakers. and it can do full screen which when done with netflix, makes it perfect.

I use this app daily. You can also play games that are in window mode on your PC as well. The app is great. the one posted above looks like it is the HD one that is the paid one.

How do you do the ports forwarding thing? So far I can only use it on my own home wifi network.

on the computer open the splashtop streamer program and under settings you can connect your google account so that you can access your computer from other wireless networks
everything you need is in the splashtop streamer program on your computer. its very easy to use and anyone can do it

if you have the uastring hack why not just goto the website it works flawlessly for netflix and hbogo, all those workarounds are pointless and time consuming imo

you can do that and im not against it because i have both. but id rather stick to this not only because its worked flawlessly for me but because i have full control over my computer.Anything i can do with my computer, and i mean anything, the app lets me do on my xoom. but its the users choice whether they want to use the uastring hack or just this

Why don't you just post the link to the marketplace instead of risking getting your ass banned from XDA? $4.99 is very cheap.

Netflix uses Silverlight, not flash.

Just get a slingbox, then you can watch anything on your tab.. Sling v1.3 works fine.

[Q] HDMI out

Hi all, I was looking at my shift, and even though it says it doesn't have video-out capabilities I see that the charging port is micro-hdmi. Is it possible to buy a micro-hdmi to hdmi cable and watch netflix and stuff on my TV?

That's micro-USB, not micro-hdmi. You use it to connect to your PC or Mac.

There is that samsung media streamer that got posted on the portal awhile back. That would be the only way I think, and it would require you have a compatible samsung tv. Or you might be able to use one of those google tv devices to stream from your phone (was that one of the features? I forget)

I use imedia share to stream to my samsung tv. Can stream things already on your phone but not netflix.

Don't think it will work for Netflix , but it does work for the other stuff on your phone. You can give THIS a try, see if it works for you.

Video Tutorial: Use a PS3 controller as a gamepad via bluetooth

Hello
I have made a tutorial on how to play games on any android device using a PS3 controller via bluetooth... I have demonstrated this on my Galaxy Note.
I have shown how to configure it with various emulators (PS one and SNES)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMDSOr9WoZ4
Also added an app to help you find ROMS easily.
Hope you find this useful
Please let me know if anything is unclear or if you have any queries feel free to pm me, will get back to you as quick as possible

Do the analog sticks work? Specifically, are the analog sticks emulated as analog, or just digital (full on/full off) key presses, with no gradient?

Hi
@ ashwin123
How do you get the ps3 controller to work on your galaxa Note ?
I tried it ever and ever again with different Versions of Firmware , Different versions of the Sixaxis Controller App and also with different ps3 Bluetooth
Controller,but i don´t get a Connection between my Galaxy Note and the
ps3 controller
At the Moment my phone comes with stock firmware kl7 and i use Sixaxis
Controller App Version 0.3.9
The Ps3 Sixaxis Controller is Original from Sony.
The Galaxy Note is of course rooted.
I didn´t get this to work.
It makes me crazy
I paired the controller with the pairing tool.
then starting the sixaxis app,but the 4 lights on the controller were still blinking
and then they turns off. No Connection
Which firmware and wich version of sixaxis Controller app do you use ?
greetings from Germany

Turn off bluetooth on your phone first.
Then open sixaxis controller
Then connect controller to pc
Download sixaxis pc software
Change the code to whats found on the sixaxis app on the note
Now hit start on the app
The first player light should come on
Change input to sixaxis.
You should be good to go.
If anything is unclear please watch my tutorial video once more...
If the issue still persists contact manufacturer... (lol Ive always wanted to say that... juz kidding if you still cant connect it come back and leave a post explaining where exactly do things go wrong)
Dont you worry, we will get your controller paired up soon

Only have an Xbox wireless controller . Any way I could connect that?

Good news and bad news...
Good News... it can be done and its simple
Bad News... You need a receiver from microsoft, the one you get to connect the controller to pc... then you can connect it to the usb port (in case the galaxy note theres no USB port so connect a usb host adapter to the micro usb post and then the receiver to that)
Android should handle the rest.
This should work in theory and I have seen it work on honeycomb... not a 100% sure on gingerbread
COST:
USB Receiver $20 (approx.) (Amazon)
USB Host adapter $1-3(approx.) (Ebay)

XBMC and XBMC HDMI for Atrix.

XBMC Atrix *HDMI* (Any Blur based ROM)​
The user "djeman" brought us, an HDMI version of XBMC for the Atrix.​
Here is the link: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD​
Test and let me know how it works. ​
Special thanks to djeman​
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
XBMC
Description:​
Is the one of the most complete multimedia center, where you can play your favorite audios, videos, movies, also it supports many plugins like (TV, Web, Apps, etc.).​
Considering this is an Atrix, this could be used as the new WebTop for CM7/CM9/CM10 but more for multimedia than office and other things, but you can always go the plugins way.​
I'm bringing the XBMC from the dev kemonine96, since it works almost fully and I have been testing it to the bottom, so any question you can ask me. TEST AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Here is the original post so you can download it and test it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813089
Thanks for all.
** Known Bugs:​
*CPU1 when not playing anything, it freezes at 67%.
*Cannot load 720p+ Videos, it lags a lot due to HW lack.
*Won't change resolution.​
Special thanks to kemonine96.​

Does this use native resolutions under hdmi mirroring?

Just want to say the tegra version in the link is working on my th3bill miui rom.
I can connect to my network and stream etc, just like xbmc on anything else. Navigation is a bit fiddly, being touch only.
Can't wait to replace my atv2 with an Android box
Awesome, cheers!

You can always modify resolutions in the Settings of XBMC, that being said, yes.

Actually, you can't. I tried with my lapdock, and it wouldn't let me change it. It looks ok on my lapdock, but in a tv it would look big.
I still don't know how to play music/video using it, it seems like it doesn't come with a music/video player built in.
Im going to go around their forum later to figure out those things.
Looks pretty nice so far.

You will also want to check their wiki. It outlines usage very well. Keep in mind the Atrix is an unofficially supported device. If you have android specific issues or playback problems please post back to XDA. The official channels will not be able to help with Atrix specific issues.

What do you mean sir Luis? Everything works fine, is true that I haven't tried the resolution change since my dock is on the mail but it should scale up fine. If somebody else report back or you can surely confirm it doesn't then I will post it as a bug in the OP.

So this runs on straight Android? Or do we run it from Ubuntu on our phones? And add-ons work just on the phone, e.g., like radio streams (sky.fm, digitally imported), anime freak, scrubbers, etc? If so, very interesting!

If you are running ubuntu on your phone you will want the version from the ubuntu ppa or similar.
Add-ons should generally work. A few may not, but I haven't heard of / know any being outright broken offhand. This should include the last.fm / sky.fm / scrobblers / you tube and the like. If you run into any broken add-ons let me know and I will update the main thread with the known-broken add-ons.

If aimed at me (the guy behind the main nightlies thread): I won't be including the external player patch in my builds just yet. Right now there are no official nightlies being built and I plan to keep mine as close to vanilla xbmc as possible until they post official nightlies.
When official nightlies are posted I'll be taking a closer look at different patch sets and re-evaluating including them in my builds.
