Porting Netflix.apk from Revue to Phones?

[Jaxidian]

So I have a copy of Netflix.apk and netflix.odex (as well as a /system/Netflix directory) from a Revue. What all should it take to get these running on a phone? I'm attempting this with a Droid X running Liberty 1.0.

Not entirely sure, but I think it would have to do with the information found here: DeodexInstructions - smali - Instructions on using baksmali to deodex an .odex file - Project Hosting on Google Code.

Good start - sounds like I need to deodex these apks. Was really wishing I was a Linux guy right now. I tried straight-up using them and only one of the ~10 apk files I tried worked (and it had no corresponding odex file with it, unsurprisingly enough).

[Jaxidian]

Okay, at this point, the next steps in possibly making this happen are beyond me. Tech I am, Linux I am not. I don't know how to rebuild/deodex the apk files and the framework files - I think that's all required as the next step.

If anybody wants a link to the files I'm working with, please PM me and I'll share it. It appears to be a personally-owned server that's hosting them so I don't want to post the link here where it will be hammered by people who have no real desire to get involved. Also, I don't want to give Logitech/others ammo to take it down.

Okay, apparently linux-ignorant folks like me can deodex. (Thanks, xUltimate!)

It's getting through some of my framework but is bombing out on some, now. (I had to trick it by connecting to my phone but pulling the framework/app files from my copy of the Revue dump).

Time to investigate into why these odex files are failing...

[Jaxidian]

Out of the first half of the framework files, only 2 are giving me problems (com.google.prolo.jar and com.google.tv.tvsearch.jar) so for now I'm just deleting them and hoping I can continue without needing them. Probably not, but we'll see...

[Jaxidian]

Okay, so the framework is deodexed now, with those two files being exceptions. LOTS of problems on the apks, though...

I'm trying to deodex as much as I possibly can and then see where I can get with what's left. I hope this works with some level of success. Unfortunately, just failed on Chrome...

[Jaxidian]

Okay, I've gotten through about half of the apps so far, and about half of them have failed while the other half have deodexed just fine. No clue why some are failing. I'm not sure I can tell why they're failing or even if it's possible to deodex them.

[Jaxidian]

And what I feared... Netflix.apk is one such app that is failing on the deodexing...

Anybody have any idea how to move beyond this?
