Guys can any1 help.
I have a dell streak and want to be able to mirror my screen on a monitor.
Is there a way to extract the functionality from the atrix as an apk?

You should probably go ask here.

Lol I came from there. We want to clone screen on streak. Atrix has some of the functionality that we may be able to use.....can anyone help?

I know if i simply install the hdmi mirror app found in the atrix dev section and then change a value regarding hdmi mirroring in my system/build.prop then i get mirroring. but only in portrait. maybe you could start there, or check out the webtop mod apks, also found in the dev section for atrix.

Fantastic, just the starting point in need. Many thanks

Very unlikely you'd be able to just throw an APK on a streak and get the capability. The entire phone was designed with the webtop in mind, and it has a very different filesystem than most Android phones to accommodate for that. It will take a lot more than just an APK unfortunately

I don't think he wants the webtop functionality, just straight HDMI mirroring.

Correct. I want to use my streak as a computer ie connect to a monitor

is there any pogress?

My Mobiler or Similar for Streak

Just upgraded from HTC HD2 to the Streak (so much better). However the one thing I miss is the MyMobiler app that allowed you to control the phone from a PC screen.
Does anyone know if there is a similar app for the Streak/Android?
The only thing I can find is Webkey it does require root however.
Android Screen Cast:

I have tried screencast for the streak......but I'm not sure if its the way the codes for the Streak was written, but everything is the wrong way up and at the moment, theres now work around for that which is a pain after spending all the time loading the drivers and stuff for Win7......

[REQ]port droid VNC server to the atrix

Hi everybody,
Has anyone tried to installed VNC server and run it successfully?
I tried to installed droid VNC server but when the computer connect it,it stop always.The blog shows start frambuffer...
anyone has anyidea how to make it work in atrix?
thx
same, but i haven't really looked into why.
nobody can help???
the author already knows it's not working on any tegra2 device, because tegra2 doesn't access the framebuffer the same way.
he is too busy to fix it at the moment. Maybe mindphaze can fix it since he did make a compatible screenshot capture device. I already asked him last night.

[Q] Anyone working on Hulu?

Hello my Thunderbolt friends,
I know that the app was just released, but I was curious if it was being worked on to stream on our phones. I have the regular .apk installed, but it won't stream, just like Netflix used to be. I don't know anything at all about ripping apart .apk's but it seems like it could be fixed by removing the "device check" code similar to Netflix's app. Anyone know anything about it?
Thanks!
Seen a couple post about People working on it. Also there is a mod in the android development section that let's July.com work
Yeah, I'd be interested in something as well...

[MOD by APP] Nebtop - Universal HDMI Webtop hack

This MOD by APP is different than the existing MOD by replacing system apks:
1. No risk of brick
2. Ease of use
3. Universal hack for phones and ROMs that has Webtop
Since this app is intended to support multiple devices, see the original post from the Razr thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404625 .
Please report the test result in this thread. Whether success or fail and your device, ROM, etc.
It'd be nice to use the "Send" option in the app if it failed.
Thanks!
Working for me on mopho 198_7,rooted,with jokersax 1.3 preuvHighpro! Thank you!
it worked for me too!
It works, but the screen doesn't properly emulate a track pad. Connecting a bluetooth keyboard works fine though.

Is anyone else having this problem? I actually have this issue on occasion with the current webtop over HDMI hack that replaces the stock files. But, it doesn't happen all the time, only some of the time.
Also, if anyone can answer this for me, I haven't bought a lapdock yet, but I am considering it, if I do, I think the other webtop over HDMI hack will have to be removed to make the lapdock work, is that true? Second, if that is true, then this method shouldn't have the same problem right?
Please try with the latest version(v0.5). More diagnostic messages are logged and can be sent using the "Send Info" menu item from the app.

For the first question, I have no idea since I have never tried the "webtop over HDMI hack that replaces the stock files".
For your last question, if the Webtop related things are restored to the stock, this method will still work thus it should have no interference with the Lapdock.

I cant make the track pad work at all. What stock apk files have to be installed for this to work? I am stock rooted with some bloat removed. I am thinking I might have removed one apk file to many...
Could you use the "Send Info" option in the app after you tapped the "Load' button?

All give it a go. I tried rebooting my phone, but still no luck. I sent the debug info via email. This is pretty cool. I've never bothered using webtop, but it looks pretty interesting.
EDIT: I already got an email back from the developer. He said that it all looks good, but the extdock state cant be set to 4, which is what mine loads to when I press load. I see what he says.
Yep, it seems that even everything for Razr looks good for Photon 4G, the track pad on the phone could only react to orientation but couldn't receive any touch action.
I will try to first locate this track pad from Razr, and how are the events being sent then inspect if this is working correctly for Photon 4G.
So this may not work at all.
If anyone got any real dock that made the Photon 4G to have the track pad working correctly, please kindly run logcat to log how all these happen and send to me for analysis. This may boost up the progress by differential analysis.

I don't have a dock, so i cant be of much help there. Hopefully someone can run the logcat for you. If you need me to test anything else, I will gladly do it.
Now it seems to me that logcat is not enough.
I've figured out that evbridge is the process that draw the virtual pad on the phone and responsible for translating and forwarding touch events to mouse movement and key inputs to the Webtop world.
It seems to be using /dev/webtop/input/event4 as a placeholder for the touch event. But when evbridge is not running, those event devices won't work.
So in the worst case your phone have the evbridge running, some event4 receiving touch events but just that are not being processed and forwarded to the Webtop world.
In this case I will need to look deeper inside evbridge for how it actually emit the events or how the Webtop world see and process them then find out which part is broken.

More of the "track pad" stuffs have been studied(https://sites.google.com/site/androidnothize/nebtop/webtop). What remain are testers like "my2cents".
In short, we used TeamViewer(on PC) + PuTTY(on PC) + SSHDroid(on phone) + WiFi(connect PC and phone) + time.
In the last test I haven't studied enough of the track pad so couldn't make real use of it. But now I've studied more of it and have sorted out 3 possible points of breaking the chain of events from the touch screen to the Webtop. Unfortunately "my2cents" seems to be on a vacation.
If you know what are these and could prepare these, we could arrange a time that both of us could go online at the same time to perform the investigation.
Send me a PM or email me at either this nick name or another at gmail.

Hi 400757,
I was on vacation for new years. I got your email, but it was at 5 AM my time and we left that morning to go see family. I am back at home now and I am happy to help again. I will be available all day tomorrow and possibly tonight. I have to get the kids in bed first...
Follow up of the freshly done live investigation on my2cents's Photon 4G.
Turn out that it is quite different than Razr....that lead to more unknowns and needs a working Photon 4G as the basis to compare with.
One must-fail point is that evbridge is expecting /dev/input/by-id/touchscreen which doesn't exist at all. This is the first problem that made the track pad unresponsive.
Secondly the aev and evfwd input devices are not exposed to the X using xinput like in Razr.
After linking this path to the touch device /dev/input/event4, the track pad buttons became responsive though those events are not forwarded to the Webtop cursor.
strace didn't show further open failure afterward.
Thus in order to ease the life, a working Photon 4G Webtop with track pad is needed for inspection.
Does that mean that if someone has a dock, you could debug that way?
I'm not sure....
If someone has the HD dock, and used it to activate the Webtop mode, and if the track pad works.......
Then later using the Nebtop to activate the Webtop mode should work too.
In contra, if a fresh boot using Nebtop doesn't work, (due to the missing device link) but if the HD dock make it work, then it means there're some extra stuff done by recognizing a real HD dock.
Otherwise, if both Nebtop and HD dock failed, perhaps it's regional issue? eg. Some region's Photon 4G has track pad bug since there will be no selling of HD dock?
The last possibility perhaps related to the "bloat" apps that you've removed/disabled? But this is odd that if the app would create the device link under /dev...

Dell Streak 5 - DSLR Controller - Agggghhhhh!

Dear folks,
I have a trusty Dell Streak 5, which I appreciate much, buuuuuut..... I keep getting this error message when trying to load a DSLR controller: "Your Android device is not compatible with Android's USB host API. A newer firmware for your device MAY fix the problem"....
I am currently running Longhorn 2.91 (Android version 2.3.7), Kernal version 2.6.35.14-DSC-Team_Phoenix [email protected] #346, Baseband Version GAUSB1A136000-US.
Are there any fixes for this issue, do I need to change the ROM or what other options have I?
Also, on a side note request, is there a way to change the LCD resolution, everything is a bit too small and unreadable?
Thanks very much!
~J:cyclops:
What's the exact app? If it's doing what I think it's doing, you need to be using Android 3.0 or newer.
If it's using the android usb accessory api, that was introduced in either 3.0 or 3.1, 2.x predates it.
If it's actually trying to become a usb host, it's supported in hardware but it's not terribly reliable in all our current roms.
As for the font sizes, you'll want to read up on ro.sf.lcd_density, the S5 uses 160 while most devices use 240.
Trying to figure this suckah out!
Hello TheManii,
The exact app is this one: DSLR Controller (BETA) 0.94.1 (I cannot, as of yet, post the link).....
Is there a DLSR app that I can use for this ROM pkg? So frustrating indeed!! Or perhaps a workaround?
Is there an app or an add-on for S5 for the LCD?
Thanks much!

is is easy, install the DSC Rom , there you will have a configuration tool called DSConfig, the LCD settings are there too.
DSLR Controller (BETA) - Play Market seems to require your device either support usb hosting or usb accessory mode.
I dont know if DSC supports hosting, as I dont use dsc. But like previously stated usb accessory is for android 3.x and newer.
You might be able to get assitance from n0p to get it supported if you're simply using hosting, though dont expect any type of quick fix, it may take a fair amount of work if it works at all.
You could try using AOSP/ICS as it's new enough to 'support' usb accessory mode, though weither or not our rom+kernel has it working is an entirely different story.
tl;dr: the S5 is a bad canidate for this as it has very weak usb support for connecting other devices. If you plan on using DSLR controller heavily you're definitely better off with a different device.
yes, DSC supports usb hosting fully.
Use a sixaxis pairing tool............
And connect a ps3 controller
Its good...... Works fine for me......
All it needs is a root.....(which u shoul have)..:thumbup:

The saga continues?!
Thanks for the various replies. I am trying to figure out the best most updated ROM to do this, to use this DELL Streak 5 as a DSLR external monitor. I am currently using Longhorn 2.91 but that, apparently, does not offer the support that I seek. It also goes and stays in landscape mode during calls which I cannot seem to change... Dang ROMS never all perfect... Hahaha!! I may have to just suck it up and get another gadget but I like the idea of having one gadget that does it all, ya know? I cannot stand having a ton of stuff! If you good folks have suggestions regarding the most stable, up-to-date ROM that offers USB controller options, that would be superb!!
Thanks much and have a great weekend!
