Um diddle-diddle-diddle um diddle-eye

Stuck in my head for some reason.. Now it is your turn.

As Rastroh would say, "Arrroooooooooooo??"

Interesting...

Netflix recently released the app for selected Android phones. I say selected since the app is rumored to only work on certain model phones, and that they will slowly release to more (doing testing now, I guess).

So on my MyTouch4g, which is rooted and ROM'd, I figured I might get left out if it is too specific about what the app looks for when it goes to authorize the test.

Interestingly enough, the folks over at xda-developers discovered exactly what it looks for, and offered options to tweak your rooted phone to trick the app into running.

I tried working through some of those, but for some reason was running into an issue getting my file system remounted as read/write so I could update the necessary configuration file. Found a possible way to fix it, but opted to hold off for the moment since it is terminal commands on a tiny phone screen. Needed to be better focused. But I downloaded the .APK file and installed it, and for the hell of it, picked something out of my queue and started it to play.

Worked perfectly. No changes necessary (beyond, perhaps, that I was running a rooted phone already).

So now I'm confused. But grateful too.

Time to test that T-Mobile bandwidth cap...

And... Crime doesn't pay... unless you're on staff at Harborview
