Netflix apparently works on the Droid X running Gingerbread!

I have it running on the Droid X (.595 Gingerbread), and it works perfectly. I've watched two movies without any problems. The app would be much better if you could actually manage the Queue.

How do I get GB .591 so Netflix will work on my DX.
Thanks

No, I suspect the opposite to be true. Netflix is only officially available for phones with Snapdragon processors. I think it will be months before OMAP processors are officially supported. GB tricks the app which is why it works.

Looks like the matchmaking with .588 went awry because even though I haven't gotten this, I have seen almost everyone w success on 595

Hate to be the one to tell you, that is the only build that seem to not work. All the rest seem fine.


******4.5.573, .591, and .595 seem to work fine.

Hate to tell you, but that's not true....

4.5.588, rooted leak

installed Netflix APK, logged in, could choose anything, but it never seemed to want to fully load, just a "black screen", so then I did the following:

installed JRummy's Root Tools, edited build.prop replacing ro.product.model=DROIDX to HTC Vision
and ro.product.manufacturer=motorola to HTC then rebooted. Netflix loads, I can choose and watch anything. I also made sure to update flash to 10.3.

I take no credit for this, as I saw this on numerous other sites, about editing build.prop, and changing the two keys to different settings. It just happens the HTC one worked for me.

Hope that helps....

Anybody else done the build.prop edit trick?

I just figured out that it totally messes with Swype, of all things. Not sure how many other programs it will mess with. Swype no longer accepts whole words, just individual key presses. I switched back to the multitouch keyboard, then back to Swype, and got an error saying it was installed for a different device, and will only work with limited functionality.

DAMN.......

leaked, rooted 4.5.588

Worked for me.

Looks like they have an apk file over at XDA that has device check disabled. This means it will pretty much work with any build. I ran it on my X running stock Froyo. Streamed perfectly. Here's the link:

Wow. I am choosing to stick with Froyo for other reasons, but I was seriously contemplating switching to a leaked GB build to try Netflix....now I don't have to and can keep my custom froyo rom (Liberty 2.0.1) for now.

Much thanks for the link!

Will Netflix run on my t.v. through the HDMI out?
