See here. EVO as your desktop. EVO and Thunderbolt are pretty similar right? So maybe we could port this. The only thing is the HDMI. We will need a way to get around that. So my question is, could we port this?
I don't see how this is possible without some kind of video output from the device. The only other alternative is VNC to the device (which defeats the entire purpose of this).
Droid vnc server is a nifty app. Id think id like it

I thought the micro-usb slot was an MHL slot, which means we just need a cable that is MHL compatible.
Other than that, I don't know why not. It would give a dev something to do
Let me throw one word out here for you guys to converse about.

No, in all seriousness, if the micro-usb is actually MHL compliant, then nothing would have to change in the set-up instructions..

I was thinking the same. That's not it's intentions, but I've seen some of these developers do more amazing things than make that work
If anyone wants to attempt this I'll gladly beta test.
The OP in the EVO forums said if there were enough interest he would assist on porting it over.
"I will be handling port requests through my website. If there is enough demand and the device can support it, I will work with developers to get this ported to your device. Start a thread in your respective device's forum to see if there is enough demand and refer them to this thread and the website for details.
To make things easier you device needs the following:
The ability to run a CyanogenMod 7 ROM
High resolution video out (HDMI preferred for ease of porting) Lokifish Marz"

1) So the questions are is there enough support!?
2) Is our device similar enough to do this?
Put me down for this!!!

That would be fantastic. I could go to customers houses and do their contracts right infront of them instead of @ the office.
This would be cool, maybe even a good reason to get the HTC dock when it comes out. If we can get a HDMI hook up working I would give this a try even with out the dock.

There's a adapter for HDMI for our phone
But I believe the reason why they left it out is because of Bluetooth 3.0 and the ability to stream HD movies through it

ThunderBolt has the same MHL jack as the EVO 3D/Sensation, but it requires the software to use it, we may get that support in the Gingerbread update.
The only reason its not one of the specs or a known feature is because of this missing software support.
When the ThunderBolt was initially leaked on the Verizon site before launch, the developer site leaked all the details about what accessories it would support and an "HDMI adapter" was listed, and that said adapter is the microUSB to HDMI cable, which will also charge the phone via HDMI.
Now you know why HTC didn't have a native HDMI port, because its actually the USB jack
This would be fantastic, I wish someone would work on it but I am not sure if it is possible.
I was curious if anybody was interested in buying these cables. Both cables would have the corresponding female micro input and the other side would be the corresponding micro male. The reason i ask is if you have a lapdock you are future proofed because motorola likes to make specific accessories for different model phones and likes to charge an excessive premium for these accessories. With these cables you , hopefully, should be able to use lapdock and future lapdocks, if motorola is good on their word, plus you can have your atrix next to your lapdock and be able to use it still. I am thinking maybe used like this you wont need a bluetooth mouse either because you can use screen for the mouse input which is loads better than the touchpad. Micro female cables seem to be hard to come by looking online. I am awaiting an answer from my source to see if these can be had. The minimum order is 1000 of them. I would probably sell these for about $20 shipped in the US if my price is right. Both cables btw. I hope this in right section. Figured it would get the appropiate looks here because it is unique and it is a question. Please post if youre intersted or pm me. If my source comes up good, and there is enough interest i will post back. And yes there would be discount for multiple orders. Dont ask how much. I dont even know how much yet.
Btw, i am getting a lapdock tomorrow to test drive. I am going to measure approximate length needed for this to be useable on right side. I am guessing in the neighborhood of 18-24"/45-60cm. It will be longer than needed if accessorized on the left side of lapdock. I mention this because there will be no custom lengths, colors or whatever. I dont even have any.
I voided my warranty.
well, i just got my quotes. i can do these cheaper than mentioned earlier. i am hoping this might garner some interest, especially for the peeps looking for hdmi mirroring using emulators. i am hoping somebody figures that out too. it'd be nice to play some super nintendo on a lapdock full screen. please respond if interested. i have to order 25 minimum and i only need 4 of each. i can get them posted on ebay also.

can the Atrix be used while in the lapdock? or while connected to it, if its using these cables?
EDIT: oh, mirroring. havent messed with that, wasnt sure the lapdock did that

i don't know. i'm getting lapdock tomorrow. i'm guessing it can be used while in lapdock. i don't know yet if it can be used with cables. that too i'm guessing on. i'm hoping the touchscreen can be used as touchpad like webtop over hdmi hack. and i just found out that motorola fubar'ed photon users by flipping the connections so they can't use the lapdock.
I modded my laptop to fit the photon. I'll try it out, i didnt know there was a hack to enable use while in webtop.
EDIT: stock functions are the volume and power, no other buttons work nor does the screen work. where is the mod for the touchscreen for the atrix? i tried searching but no dice. i wonder if would even work on a photon
Did you ever order these? I am interested in using the AT&T 50.00 Atrix lapdock with a Droid razr and I am guessing that this will be neccesary.

Wondering if you ever ordered them.
I am interested in using the Atrix lapdock available for 50.00 right now with a droid razr, and it I think this might be necessary.
hi,do you still have any left and how does it work?
I'd also be interested in these cables.

I'm getting my fiance one or the other for christmas, but I would like to know if there is actually the development support for the view as the flyer. Is it worth getting the view over the flyer for the price or am I going to pay for it in the long run due to lack of support? The reason I ask it is doesn't seem like there is much support for the view under the development section and I would like to know I have community support in anything I buy. I see we have root on both devices but there doesn't seem like near as many roms and such on the view as the flyer, which I understand because the view is just a sprint product. Where the flyer is sold globally. More or less I'm just looking for advice on which is the better buy, as I know for sure that she does want the flyer/view for the pen functionality and form factor of the flyer/view. Thanks for the help.
Flyer. If development is a big issue for you(as it is for most people on here), then that's your pick. And an added bonus is that the flyer will have a better resale value because it is gsm
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Cool, that's mainly what I needed to know.
There isn't exactly an abundance of support for the flyer as far as I am aware.
Oh, so I guess it's not going to matter either way? I've seen a few custom roms for the flyer, but only one for the view. The biggest thing I'm concerned about is that she wants to "try" honeycomb(assuming it does actually show up), but she didn't really like it in the store on the other tabs(A100, Tranformer, etc.). So I really just want to make sure if I allow her to accept the OTA that I can get it back to stock GB if necessary. I assume that I could just root and recover back to GB if necessary? Same as I can take my TB back to stock if I wanted, or do you think I am mistaken on this?
Flyer. We don't know what the rollback options will be on the view (if any) after an OTA update to HC.

This will be the kicker then. And since you're a Dev. then I'm not even going to bother with trying to deal with the view. Plus you have already wrote the rollback guide for me if that needed to happen. Thanks again for responses.

how did you manage to get one if you don't mind me asking?
Ebay. That's the only place I could find them. I originally took her to best buy, and she tried the A100, the Flyer, the Gtab, Nook, and Kindle. She originally wanted a kindle, but after playing with it she didn't like how it felt, and it had to be a 7 in or close to it, so since BB still had the Flyer up on display she played with it and loved it, so I was looking to get her what she wanted.

I could have been wrong, it was a quick glance though the first 3 pages in the Dev section. If you looked though the Dev section and there isn't one there then it was a mistake on my part.
The thread in question was written by Contradude and the ROM name is ClerverNameHere.
Seems the View is the better option if you can get for the same price or less, since the View has 16gb more internal storage and no white sides (OK, that is picky).
I have the Flyer and have ordered the View for $235.
Either model IMO is the best option for 7" tablets, none the less.
Two more questions, has anybody used the mhl adapter? Does it do hdmi mirroring? Or is it more of a media output like the dnla adapter? And, has anyone used a keyboard/mouse with it? I assume this will only be possible with the hc update, but I would still like to know for curiosity sake.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
The View is a beautiful device. The best looking 7" tablet available.
The problem is that the support for it is terrible, in terms of roms, and Honeycomb probably won't happen. That's fine with me though since it is an excellent and strong device, as is.
I got the View also bc its on sale and the 32gb of memory.

Do you have a link to that info? There was speculation of the lapdocks being discontinued, but Moto's CEO said that he saw value & product differentiation by having the lapdocks, and planned to stick with them. Nothing about them being discontinued.

I have the Lapdock 100 for my MoPho. It's a very specific use case, but I enjoy the bump in screen size when I'm lying in bed at night watching Netflix, Crackle, Hulu+, and video podcasts. My TV in the bedroom is *just* old enough that it missed the evolution to TV apps. Anyway, I know some would say to just use a laptop, but I don't want to deal with the heat issue with my blankets and stuff. Also, the compactness of the Laptop 100 is just small enough that makes it really easy to set aside when I'm done. I know...I know.....super nichey, but it works for me.
*Side note* -- My wife doesn't get mad at me anymore for "watching TV" while she's trying to sleep.

Lapdock 500-photon compatibility issues
I've had the LAPDOCK 500 two weeks,the PHOTON since October.
Here is a list of features that currently DO NOT WORK w/the LAPDOCK-PHOTON combo:
1) ETHERNET
2) WEBCAM
3) SD CARD SLOT
4) VGA OUTPUT
5) Possible USB issues (USB ERROR Icon in notification bar)
6) SOUND (just recently discovered)
I'm running the stock O/S on the PHOTON,no mods to the LAPDOCK 500.
I haven't been on much at XDA at all recently,or postwise,much period.
Been relatively satisfied w/the MO PHO's performance,until I got the LAPDOCK 500.
The compatibility issues were a known issue,except for the lack of sound,which was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.
I've posted in the MOTOROLA FORUMS,but have yet to get any feedback,good or bad,which brings me here to this forum.
If anyone has questions regarding PHOTON-LAPDOCK compatibility issues,or,possible testing of related tricks,tips,etc.....,I'll try to make myself available as possible.All I ask is some patience,regarding time & technical expertise,as the LAPDOCK is my only "computer" & my expertise in modding is limited to rooting & ROM installation on my previous phone,the HUAWEI ASCEND. PM is the best,most timely way of contacting myself w/any inquiries,but,I will be staying tuned in to XDA on a more regular basis from here on out.
call me cheap or whatever but i would buy one for 100. for 200-300 i can get a netbook or notebook. it just seems to me that the product is over priced. when att had the firesale of the atrix lapdock for $50, they sold 10k units. thats def a high interest in lapdocks.
I'm the cheap one,as SPRINT is my sole ISP w/the unlimited smartphone plan.One service serves three needs:Home,phone,& mobile broadband replacement w/the LAPDOCK 500.
The price may seem steep($300),but,it serves my connectivity needs & saves a fair amount of $ per month.The payback w/this set-up is realized in no time.But,if this is more of a curiousity than an everyday tool,I'm sure the price will drop on the LAPDOCK 100/500 as newer tech hits the market, & then you could find a deal on one.
This type of modular connectivity is the sign of things to come(ASUS PADFONE,UBUNTU for ANDROID),etc... and as this technology finds traction in the mainstream,price drops & added features are sure to follow.

I just got my $149 500 lapdock delivered and can't get it to do anything with my Photon. The webtop won't stay on the screen for more than a few seconds (keeps alternating between a webtop screen and the flashing red moto logo). Is there a certain system update level the Photon needs to be on? I changed the Photon System version to 99.9.9 to prevent auto updates breaking the dockless webtop.
Simple one guys, I know the Razr and the bionic are similar but will this laptop dock work?

65 views and no replies.......you buggers better not be buying them all up off ebay on me
I can't really find anything on that model. I looked earlier. They can be found for $49.99 though if you search by the UPC. LOL
When I checked motorola's site to see which dock was used by which phone, the Bionic used a Laptop 100 and the RAZR used a Laptop 500 Pro. So if that tells you anything. There is nothing there about the EW-3005
There isn't a whole bunch out there on it when you google the model number ew-3005 either.
this look like an atrix lapdock i have one these and turned the connectors so they could match the razr (there's a topic about it in this section).So basically it works well with a little mod.
Razr XT910 stock 2.3.4 rom eur
yes, you'll either need to disassemble and flip the connectors or find the little extension cables and then it will work. the cables are really hard to find online though.
Lol. Thanks to googling that keyboard (model ew3005) i now have a card in Google now and keeps showing up in my status bar letting me know that Euro wings flight 3005(EW 3005) from Kiev to Dusseldorf is expected to leave on time today.

btw, i have two Atrix lapdocks, and while the idea is great in theory, and while it is the way of the future, the future isn't here yet, so they sit in a drawer unused. an old NetBook i still have running Linux is far more practical. I expect that apple has this in the works and will show everyone how to do it right, in a year or so, and then everyone will copy them (the next "revolution" in mobile computing ad nauseum). essentially the next MacBook air will have a slot for the iPhone to just slip into and it will "just work" making the lapdock look like the kluge that it is. i recommend you save your money for that, or buy a cheap NetBook.

Well... It depends on how you use the LapDock. For me, it has been amazing since the ICS update bringing along webtop 2.0 which is basically a tablet experience when plugged into the dock. For tasks like browsing on Chrome, chatting, watching YouTube videos, composing a few mails, it really comes in handy. The big screen, the keyboard and the additional battery backup which also charges your phone... what else could you ask for?
