    To Anyone who has the phone.

    Will the netflix app work on the X2 out of box.

    I know there is ways to do it if its been flashed to another rom. But I thought I read somewhere DX2 will support netflix.

    YES. It does!

    Besides the battery life (though I believe I'm one the few who didn't have an issue with battery life on the TB), the speed, the screen and other things this was a pleasant perk (though not really surprised because the XDA version worked on my son's X) for switching from the thunderbolt to the X2.

    [APP]Official Netflix (new device check disabled) - xda-developers

    Choose netflix-devicecheck-disabled.apk

    Just got my X2 this afternoon and played with it a bit and am loving it.

    In regards The netflix apk that you posted the link to.
    Do I have to root my phone to use it?

    Im new to the droid scene. Recently bought an android tablet and flashed a new rom onto it so I know a little.

    But what exactly do I need to do to get this netflix apk on my droid x2?

    Oooh figured it out and its working great.
    Im loving this phone.

    I simply download the APK in the link in this post. Saved it onto my PC
    Then I put the SD card from the phone into my pc and copied the file onto it.
    Then I put phone back together.
    Opened file management app called astro and went to sd card tapped on the netflix apk and installed it.

    Worked perfectly
