Nexus S + MIUI + Netflix = Working
You’ll need root, and you’ll need a 2.3+ ROM installed.
In
/system/build.prop
You’ll have to edit the lines.
ro.product.model=[model_name_here]
…
ro.product.manufacturer=unknow
To
ro.product.model=Nexus S
…
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
Reboot the phone and install the Netflix app from the market or install the .apk manually from your sdcard.
For navigating to / and editing build.prop I suggest using ES File Explorer as it supports root, navigating to /system/ and writing to the file all in a single app.
Note: For safety sake you might want to copy an unedited version of build.prop to your sdcard (/mnt/sdcard/) for safe keeping should you need to revert back to the old file easily.
Protip: If you’re running a rooted device with a 2.3 ROM using these flags on your phone will make the Netflix app usable.
