[Q] Webtop Hack and Laptop Dock - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I just received my Atrix yesterday and I'm really satisfied with the product.
I already updated to 1.8.3, installed Gingerblur 3.1 and evertything works great.
I have a question, though. I want to install the webtop hack to play games on my LED TV. But, would my Laptop Dock work normally if I installed webtop hack?
I tried to look for the answer but I couldn't find it.
Thanks in advance.

I have the hack installed. I happened to go into att yesterday to try the dock and it worked just fine. Interestingly so did my data connection without any tethering applied!

Well, I took the risk and install the webtop hack. Both the hack and the laptop dock work perfectly! Thanks!

So what exactly is the webtop hack and what does it do for you?

It's a mod that allows you to start the webtop platform without using the multmedia dock.

i would like to know if there is a way to get hdmi morror mod to just see the screen on the Tv and not the wbtop app or the enterteinament hub or something like that

TV out on cm7

Hey guys I recently got a 32 inch flat screen which has an HDMI so I wanted to see photos and videos on my phone on there but I don't believe much has happened with TV out has it

If you have a ps3 hooked up to said tv and its (the ps3) on your home network you can download imediashare from the market and it will allow you to use your ps3's media server to display any photos and some movies that are on your phone wirelessly through your network. I believe an app named allshare will also work, this may also work if you have an xbox instead...I'm not positive b/c I dont own one but I believe they have media servers on them also, or if your tv has internet access and us hooked up to your local network, in that case it will work as well. But for me when I want to see pics on the big screen...i turn on tv, turn on ps3 click a few buttons and viola! Pics on the tv! I know its not the same as the tv out mod but either way if you have all those components whats the worst that happens...you download an app...dont like it and delete...no harm, no foul! Hope this helps!

Not a ps3 my TV has a USB spot and when I try to display what's on my phone it wont show
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
I believe what you are looking for requires taking a couple different cables and modifying them to work...a far as I know the original usb cable that come with your phone does not have the pin out required to transmit video directly via usb. I remember reading something about the tv out mod a while back but I dont remember if they had any luck with it working...search the forum...i believe it was titled "tv out mod" our something like that but its not going to be as simple as plugging in your usb cable into the tv and having it pop up on the screen...i wish I had more info for ya but hopefully someone will chime in with some relevant info for ya.

It sounds like you're trying to get your TV to read your phone as a mass storage device. Kinda like a flash drive, but I don't know if your TV could detect the phone like that. Try plugging in the USB cable between the phone and TV, then turning on the 'mass storage' mode on your phone.

Hulu Plus

So, Hulu Plus has been released to specific devices...not including ours.
The APK has been posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136634&page=3 ), except that on launch, it notifies us that video playback isn't supported on the device.
Can someone rooted test this out with their build.prop modified to one of the supported devices (see build.prop info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13952218&postcount=722 ), or can someone more knowledable with APK hacking disable the device checking?
Here are directions to modify the Hulu plus build prop more specifically ...
http://channelandroid.com/2011/06/2...on-an-unsupported-device-needs-root/#comments
Although it looks like it won't work universally.
Looking for this to work as well if anyone could please make it happen I would appreciate it. Thanks!
count me in
this should finalize my transition from ipad to the galaxy tab
Bump for attention.
Great big whopping fail
Changing the build.prop kills the samsung services including the keyboard and several widgets.
and oh yeah, it doesn't get us hulu either.
I tried the solution posted at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182668&highlight=hulu+plus
for the Droid Incredible 2 on my g-tab 8.9, and it works perfectly--EXCEPT that the video is cell-phone-size, takes up about a quarter of the tab's screen. Maybe starting with that, someone could figure out how make it the right size?
Just watch hulu from the browser with the modified flash player. I have been doing that for months now.

I guess some of us who pay for Hulu Plus would just really like the app to work.

Yeah I would like for them to just release it for us as well as take out ads since we pay.
hulu plus?
this method described on this thread doesn't work for hulu plus? I don't see why you even need an app to run hulu plus if your account is hulu plus fied when you logged in.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131417&highlight=hulu&page=23
Let me know if this works. I don't use hulu plus since I don't watch enough hulu to purchase it right now. how ever I see no reason why this wont work for you guys
Come here for the Modded apk that works on any device. Does not require root or messing with any other files. Just install the regular way and off you go.

Video out via usb?

Anyway to get this working now that we have GB?
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Don't really know much about it but I have tried connecting my phone using the usb to my Xbox 360 and LG lcd tv when I was on 2.1.. they recognized the sd card and I was able to watch videos and pictures on both..
Now that I have Netflix it would be nice to have it play on a bigger screen, a lot of phones have this option apparently, GB allows it.

[Q] Connecting sixaxis or wiimote in Eclipse 0.5

Have tried the following programs:
Wiimote Controller
Wii Controller IME
Sixaxis Controller
With no success. These all worked in stock 2.2. Each program allows for the connection of the controller through bluetooth and does register, but not when trying to map keys in all emulators I've tried.... which is literally all of them.
Any suggestions or has anyone found a fix for this?

There's gotta be some simple change in 2.3.4; maybe something could be extracted and flashed into 0.5 or 2.3.3; or even from 2.2.2.

I think it's just a compatibility thing. A lot of emulators aren't compatible with 2.3.3. I can't use psx4droid on 2.3.3, but could on 2.2.2 and 2.3.4 on my tbolt.

The emulators work fine. Not psx4droid but fpse, Nes/Snesoid, and gensoid all working on 2.3.3 but wii remote wont talk to the emulators. Have also been tried multiple wii apps like the OP did.

Well it's funny, once connected the controllers still talk to the phone (button inputs still come through), just not to the front app (the emulator) that's the real issue.
EDIT: You might be able to assign the keys from a Bluetooth keyboard, making sure you map the right key to the right button. I do not have a bluetooth (or wifi) keyboard to test this.

Hi there. So you're saying that you tried uninstalling flash and you couldn't uninstall it? There was also an update this morning. Is your flash player up to date?
Yea I updated to the most current flash..and when I open the July app..u can navigate to the free hulu site..and when I do..it says to please upgrade flash to 10.2 or above.
Although the free clips part works..I thought this app would allow the free hulu. Part to play..which it doesn't.
I tried uninstalling my current flash to see if it worked, but it didn't.
Worked great
When I launched it screen was a mess but once i logged in, que looked fine and video played great ... Everyday The Prime gets better and better

It's only for Hulu Plus subscriber. It's not a free service.
This is fantastic! Didn't feel like messing with the actual flash apk to get it to work and this saved me the hassle. Talented devs never cease to amaze me.

Your mod did work on build x.11, but I upgraded to .11.1, per the recommendation of the creator of the ViperMod root tool, and now your fix no longer works. I'm disappointed. Anyone not on .11.1, this Hulu Mod works great, if you're rooted of course.

I am not rooted and the apk worked for me. It seems a little buggy (it forced a reboot once, and timed out once, but then it proceeded to work), however, it did work at playing an episode of Parks and Recreation.
I don't even watch that much TV, but I like knowing that I can if I want too.

I'm on the latest flash update and I have no problems streaming Hulu from browser. Try running script manager again. I have the widget going so I can just one click it if for some reason it didn't activate on boot.

Old thread, I know, but I was glad to find it.
I was wondering if anyone else was having the problem I am having with this modded app. I can stream movies, or shows that don't contain ads just fine; however if a show begins with an ad, the player just sits and says it's buffering indefinitely. If I play an old movie that contains no ads, the video plays fine.
I am using a rooted TF201 with Virtuous Prime ROM.

I had this problem also and had to disable adaway or whatever ad blocker you are using prior to starting the hulu app.

Installed the app today and works fine until you plug in your micro hdmi out to your tv, then you get a wonderful message that hdmi output has been disabled and it stops streaming.
One day they will get it right!

I hadn't consciously had an ad blocker running, but I installed adaway and disabled it. That did the trick! Thanks.

I tried to duplicate the problem but it works fine for me. Streams and scales perfectly. I'm running Virtuous Prime ROM; not sure if that has anything to do with it.
