How to get Netflix working for your unsupported Android

Netflix was just released last week but not for all Androids. I show you how you can get it to believe your device is supported. But long as you are using the ACSyndicate leaked Gingerbread ROM Netflix works out the box.

Editing the text semi bricked my phone when I rebooted had to use odin. I installed the rom and still says unsupported..... Im on the gb rom now no netflix

@Vpopov81 Well the only thing I can tell you is go over the direction again carefully at ACSyndicate because how does it work for me and others but not you. You must be missing something. This is the procedure I took I made sure I backed up my stock rom first the I factory reset ,wiped cache,and dalvik cache.then flashed the rom,then I flashed the FM radio/Gtalk video app, then rebooted the phone.I got the Netflix apk from their site installed it through astro ,logged in and it worked.

@Vpopov81 Go to my channel I have a video showing how you do it.

So what was the point of telling us that hack if it doesn't work and u don't even need it with gb rom?

[AndroidAdvocate]

@Vpopov81 the point was to inform people how to do this procedure for their device. Not for epic owners I thought I made it clear when I said it didn't work for me until I flashed the GB rom

[Vpopov81]

Ok I did that and Netflix app doesn't work says device not supported but I don't have the gb rom yet. If I get that rom would I even have to do this?

[AndroidAdvocate]

@Vpopov81 nope if you got the GB rom all u have to do is install the netflix apk and it works

@AndroidAdvocate i have a question can i run netflix on my samsung galaxy ace???

[MrCanela813]

works but how do you stop it from asking you to update it every time you click on the netflix app?

Thank you for this. I have GB EF02 on my epic 4g and this worked. GOOD WORK! If you want a detailed tutorial on how to get Gingerbread (ef02) on Epic 4g look up "qbking77" (On youtube of course).

@AndroidAdvocate How did you back up your stock rom? I use my backup pro but it only does the data and apps
