Root Has anybody found the Leaked Netflix App

is it still only in black and white?

Unfortunately, yes. However, still better than nothing, a coworker of mine has a Droid Eris (similar hardware to the Ally) with stock ROM, did not stream at all. He rooted to GSB 3.5 right before the weekend, I forgot to ask if he tried again after that.

I suspect that even though there is no device check anymore, there is still some type of hardware detection for resolution and color depth of the stream.

Ok, yeah my friend has an ally, I have the Optimus V, same chip inside, just the V has twice the memory. So was wondering if that was the issue, just not enough ram. Works great on my Optimus V.

Yeah last i played with it everything worked well with the exception of the screen on/off animations and the radio i didnt check out wifi, just remember incoming problems. Wasnt able to be of much help to the project for a while and now rumor has it that GNM is takin a break. But whther or not we get gingerbread workin and stable belocity is plenty to keep me happy til i can get some ice cream sandwich. But It would be sweet to take it into verizon and show them an ally runnin gingerbread.

Yeah. That Would be funny.
I dont blame GNM for taking a break.
I dont do 1 tenth of a percent of what he does and I sometimes have to take a break. In fact i have hardly been active for a while. I gotta keep telling myself its only a Hobby... Go Play with your daughter shcmuck!!

Well thats my silly 2 cents.

Thanks for the update KOG
Your a great part of this community.:D

Ok So I tried Cyanogen Mod 7 with The Netflix app as suggested.
Oh my word as it was Awesome!!!

It was beautiful color and SMOOOOOTH playback.

Is there a way to duplicate this in any of the current Roms?? :D

Do we Know why it works so good in Cyanogen but not the other 2.2 Roms?

I know that Cyanogen is 2.3 based but what is it in 2.3 that makes it work?
