Netflix is on Froyo - Epic 4G General

I know this isn't directly related to the epic but thought I would share it. My friend at school has Motorola Droid, the original one, with Netflix and streaming works. I asked him how he got it cause he's not rooted and he said its on the market. Its not on mine though :-( what up with that?

I think I remember reading it has something to do with the optimization of the hummingbird processors. Something is fixed in Gingerbread which is why it can stream on EF02 but not on EC05. Simple solution if you want netflix is to flash one of the EF02 roms like i3. I prefer the speed and battery of Frozen 1.2 though. Can't wait till we get our official GB update. I am excited to see what ACS can do with that source code.

+1 to Imann. It has to do with our processors and 2.2. It works perfectly on 2.3 for our Epics though.

I'm on the ef02 leak anyway so it doesn't really matter to me, I just thought that it wouldn't work on froyo period. Thanks for the info guys.

Got my false hopes up. :-( This is the #1 thing I want official GB for.

I with you two. I did the non-rooted DK28 (which works just fine GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth and PRL and Profile updates.) Just got redirected to the market to install the Media Hub update. Pretty excited for Froyo if it's anything like the DK28 it should be pretty decent.

Yeah I came back from dk28 and it was amazingly fast so with a few more bug fixes its gonna b blazing fast when it officially comes out. Im no longer mad we waited so long because at least we are getting a good bugless update

Very true. And from past experience even with the dk28 update we should still get the ota because we are not rooted at least that's how it was with my old samsung moment don't quote me on that though lol

I wouldn't get too excited.... It's a base to build from but the overall feel is..... It's no better than froyo just yet..... I thought 2.3 was supposed to make our phones at least comparable to the snapdragon cpu power?
If anyone watched the video.... I was under the impression that quadrant was incompatible with 2.3.... But it runs through flawlessly on the video... Does that strike anyone else as odd?
okay guys! 6 months left till we get it!
New i9000 GB is running great. Will be putting out a stock+fixes build a little later today [hopefully]. GPS still doesn't work, but that's to be expected. Toggle headset still needs to be used to listen to music on headphones. Good news is the ram issue is 100% gone. Stock music player doesn't give reboots either.

*the gingerbread thread*

Well, now that most of us have FroYo, I thought that we might be lacking something to WILDLY speculate about... sooooo GINGERBREAD ANYONE!?
Some of our friends in Europe already have gingerbread on their Galaxy S's, so the question is, when do we get ours?
Now I know that it took us over six months to get FroYo, but that was due to some sort of disagreement with Verizon and Samsung (most likely over Bing). However, since we now have 2.2, I would *assume* that they have gotten past that and that any future updates we get will most likely come in a more timely fashion.
If things go accordingly, and Samsung and Verizon play nice, then I would assume that we would be getting gingerbread around September or October (based on how long it took FroYo to be distributed to other carriers).
What do you guys think?
P.S. I'll post any major updates that appear in the media.

Grow up.
OP: I think the gingerbread update is going to take even longer than froyo because the gx2 and the charge are going to be out. Samsung is most likely going to update those before they even think about us.
Unfortunately, the truth is: we don't know when the heck Gingerbread is coming for the Fascinate. And with Samsung's somewhat random updates, its really hard to guess even a general date.
If we can get CM7 and maybe officially supported by CM. who cares about stock GB. If JT and PK's work becomes bug free, and it looks like they have done great job, I think we might see gold.

Having the source code from the gingerbread specifically designed for our phone would make our build of CM even more stable.

So... who wants to form a petition to change the name of the Fascinate to something that includes "DROID"?
My vote is the "DROID Wolfpack". Perhaps this requires another thread..

How about the Droid Orphan, cuz that's what it's felt like sometimes. The only thing keeping it going has been the adoption by this community of devs.

Completely untrue. The droid name means nothing. Carrier and manufacturer are the same. Hardware is the exact same as a the fascinate other than the fact that it has a 4g radio. Its a last gen phone in the very beginning of a new generation... No one cares about it. If anything, its twice the orphan than the fascinate was.

How much do you want to bet the Droid Charge will see Gingerbread and more minor updates than the Fascinate just because it's in the Droid lineup? Both phones are nearly identical when it comes to software. Nearly every phone in the Droid lineup has had great support(except for the Eris and maybe the Pro).
I honestly don't think the fascinate will ever see gingerbread in any sort of official way.

Stock gingerbread OTA. Thoughts

Sup, I installed the stock OTA signed. Through the path of downloading it myself and installing. For others who did this, what you think so far

I think it sucks. The biggest thing in Gingerbread is sip calling which has been taken out. All they did was add pretty animations. HUGE disappointment

Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
OK, so I just installed it and it worked like a charm! It runs beautifully and it is quite a bit more responsive in my opinion. I'm going to begin testing everything I can. Running the hell out of it lol.
EDIT: OK, so far I have only one complaint. The hard buttons at the bottom of the phone are now insanely bright. It isn't a serious problem, but it is definitely a significant difference that I would like to see options for.
The buttons have been overly bright on all of the Gingerbread leaks, and unfortunately they still don't work quite right, even on the OTA version. They turn off and never come back on. That's my only complaint about Gingerbread. Other than that, it's fast, smooth, and looks great. I looked at an Xperia Play today with more or less stock Gingerbread, and I have to say, it was kind of ugly compared to Gingerblur, in my opinion.
Gingerbread
So far it hasn't been too bad, but I am waiting on a ROM based off of .596.
Anyone have a link to this that is not downloading at like 10KBps or have the direct google server address? If I can ever get this stupid thing to finish downloading I am thinking of mirroring it on something that doesn't the stupid ad-bloated crap. Just going to throw it up on a directory on my web server.
OK finally got it downloaded will install it and see how it runs a bit before uploading the image.
I updated my droid x to the stock version of gingerbread last night. With the exception of a few totally unrelated incidents, it seems to be working great. Gingerbread seems to be snappy and the new ui tweaks are mostly welcome. I have not noticed a big difference between 595 & 596. Thanks to black hat team for their hard work.
They got rid of the 'Paste from Clipboard' option ...I used tthat a lot in Froyo. Does anyone know.a way to get that available?

OMG stock 2.2 sucks! Help!

Was on CM7 thinking that the wifi was terrible and I needed a good signal so I thought I'd go back to the 2.2 roms. So far all Ive been able to do is update the phone to 2.2 stock and I HATE IT!
Quick! what is the fastest method to gain root and get a ROM on there!?
Thanks in advance!
Odin to jfd and root. Then install cwm or if you have the old update.zip reinstall that a couple of times. Oh yeah don't forget to put a rom on as wwell.

wait wait wait. I feel like such a noob. I odin'd to jfd (stock 2.1 right) rooted and installed clockwork recovery. Tried to flash trigger and it didn't work, which made me think, "crap, do I need to be on 2.2?' dammit! I am confused... Are you saying that I should have been able to flash trigger 3.2 from stock, rooted, 2.1? It didn't work for some reason...oh jeez...I bet it was a bad dl...
Yeah. Basically. You might need to wait a little for voodoo to kick in, but I've flashed trigger 3.2 multiple times on 2.1 stock.rooted.
