Netflix on Thrive

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.

Connect Android Wear App with Emulator
Hi,
Installed the above Wear apk succesfully, and it is running.
Did anyone succeed in linking this new Android Wear apk to the AndroidWear Emulator?
The Android Wear Preview connected over USB cable using adb -d forward tcp:5601 tcp:5601.
The Wear apk has an option to connect to the emulator, but using the USB cable its not connecting.
Can it only connect over Bluetooth?

Same apk for Galaxy?
Hello! I am a new Android user and am trying to source the proper Hulu Plus apk for my Galaxy S6. Is there any way to tell which apk is supported properly by which devices? I'll give this one a try but am curious on how I can find the device specific apk files online

Aha! I just noticed what forum I am posting in -- I did try the apk and unfortunately the screen size is very tiny so I guess it is device specific. I'll put a post out in the Galaxy boards and see if anybody has the apk. Any general insight in how to figure out the differences at first glance is greatly appreciated though!

I've not had a chance to test it yet.

SPMC 16.1.1 doesn't open on my rooted Fire TV 1 or Fire TV 2. But it does open on my non-rooted Fire Stick with 5.0.5? Strange. On the Fire TV's it does the first time run then just goes to a black screen.

Same here. Not running on rooted aftv1 (still running the older firmware) either. Same behavior just goes to a blank screen.

works fine for me as well, but for me it's not overwriting my existing spmc 15 install, does anyone know how to do that?

Has a different signature and installs all files under com.semperpax.spmc16 vs com.semperpax.spmc for vs15. Not sure why this was changed but you can move all files manually to this directory and should work.

are we talking about searching within addons using the remote mic? or just using the mic to open the app?

Correct, koying addresses this on github:
https://github.com/koying/SPMC/issues/88
Seems like there is an issue with launching SPMC 16 with Android versions < 4.4. So having issues on the old Fire OS. Will try again once we have have the rbox recovery and preroot for FireOS 5.
Launcher version looks in the works as well for 16.1.2:

I figured this out early this morning, thanks tho. Forgot to mention that it's working on my unrooted aftv 1 box. Not sure why so many rooted aftv1 users are having problems. Maybe it's something with kingroot. I've tested on my rooted aftv 2 and no problems whatsoever.

Most of us on aftv1 rooted with towelroot. But shouldn't matter what root method because we are likely all on a preooted rom flashed with recovery.
Is your aftv1 still on the old Fire OS or 5? Because I think that is the issue, not the root. Its just that most of us with root are still on the old OS.

I too want to better understand how this "voice search" truly functions. Might someone give some insight as to the true nature of how "voice search" works on this forked version of Kodi on the Amazon Fire TV 2?

Full Nougat OS.........Credit should be given to zulu99!

Has any one seen this as of yet? I just watched a video review of the it and man that ROM is the SH*T!! But I have not seen anywhere as of yet....... it's on YT
EDIT: There was a "guy" on youtube taking credit for @zulu99 Nougat ROM trying to pass off as his own, I have modified my original post to reflect the understandings of what this guy was trying to pass off as his own work......
Thank you to all of the posters feedback as well.
I have since modified the original title to reflect CREDIT to the DEVELOPER of the ROM (ZULU99)

me thinks he is using zulu99 full android experience rom with the squarehome launcher and not giving zulu99 any credit. correct me if im wrong

I'm not sure so Maybe you're right I notice in all his videos he will say that he will post up how to get the rims and never does!

This rom is zulu's rom with a different launcher

Any ide what launcher? I noticed that it's also 7.0 too!

Thank you!!!!

He goes by the name n2outlaw, so probably best to be aware of that when asked technical questions. He has a website where he is planning to get you to pay for him installing it to your box. Which is basically the aforementioned ROM with a different launcher and preinstalled apps probably. It's kind of sad that anyone would do this without even referring to the original source.

It's funny you say that because when I started asking him technical question he tried to direct me to his website to buy a shield from him LOL! But it's cool I figured everything out on my own and using Zulu 99's ROM with square home 2 launcher.
If anyone is interested I saved the configuration and you can upload the back up of the setup and you can just import the backup to square home launcher 2, it's best to get the paid version to take full advantage of it!!

This guys selling shield tvs on eBay for like $400. He's been banned from Zulus website

WOW!!!!

Mods Again if it needs to be moved or deleted my bad!!
This is for people that watch youtube videos and they and show something and they don't post how to get that look, well ya know what .....I will do the research and show people (video tutorial coming next and it will be funny!!)
Once the file is downloded just extract it to a folder on your box and then copy the that folder to the Square Home 2 launceher backups (I actually backed it up into a folder called AndroidTV and copied that folder into that directory. Open up SQ2 Launcher and get to the backup menu, once you do that if you did everything right the back up should have self populated and just click /double click on it depending on how you have your mouse setup and it will pause and respring!
NOW PLEASE KEEP IN MIND.......You may not have the same apps that I have but you can change it .....OR you can install an ALTERNATIVE APPTOID....source and it will download the application for you..... you can be the judge!!!
A video is coming within the NEXT day I promise on how to modify the boxes.....to get the full expereinece I suggest the paid version of the launcher (I am in no way affiliated with the app developer)

Hello, i would like to add something else regarding "NVIDroid OS" and n2outlaw user, which is the owner of the Channel promoting the mentioned fake re-branded ROM.
I am the official moderator at videomap.it/forum and i want to share with all of you the following information:
http://www.videomap.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1646&p=5416#p5416
We are also aware of his sellings on Ebay, but unfortunately we cannot control that. Our goal is to make public what this guy is doing and from what source he is basing his "work", giving the right credits to the one and only official developer of the Full Android firmwares for Nvidia Shield TV and Nexus Player, which is @zulu99.
I hope that with this public post this information receive more exposure on the internet. It is my duty to warn users against this guy, he may change usernames but people won't forget to whom truly belongs the work and credits.
Thank you for your attention!

Hi, do I just flash Nvidroid OS through twrp like a regular rom,I am already rooted,,,, Shield TV Pro 2017

No you don't need to flash it, just download the zip and extract the files into a folder and name it what you like and copy that folder into the SqaureLauncher2 backup folder. Open the launcher and open the backup option and click to install that backup
