[Q] Any way to speed up Webtop? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently purchased the Laptop Dock for my Atrix. (proud to say I bought it for $100 on CL!)
I previously used an Android hacked Nook Color that is overclocked.
After using my Atrix Lapdock, I've noticed a substantial speed difference. Even though I'm using a rooted stock Gingerbread, its running very slow! Even window switching takes a few seconds!
I'm very new with my Lapdock and I've read about Full Ubuntu modding. My main interest is just to find various ways to increase speed during docking. Does anyone know if there are any simple ways or hacks to increase webtop speed?
Thank you very much,
Bluedory

Even though you've been around for 3 years, your first post isn't getting off to a good start. Unless you have something to contribute as a development effort, please do not create new threads in any development forum.
Moved to Q&A, no infraction given this time around...

Not sure about speed, but for a much better WebTop experience, I suggest you follow Alex's (^) guide.

Thank you for the correction Alex. I did not know exactly where to post my question.
Hopefully there are some people here that might have the same situation as I am having.
Thank you very much.

This is awesome.
Looks like B&N understand that they have something much bigger than an ereader.
I, for one, had not been interested in this device until I saw the posts here about it being rooted and being able to install other programs on it. I went out and bought it last night and will hold on to it until an easier root method is published.
Well of course they understand But since at $250 they're probably not making much, if any profit off the machine, they need to sell content and they have two options:
1) Close the machine off Amazon style and force people to buy content from you, or
2) Open the platform, hope more people buy your device and hope that translates into content sales (book, magazines, etc...) where the money is.
Seems like they're blending #1 and #2 but with a bit more #2... Pretty good for us.
Hopefully, the cooked ROMs will allow to access the stock B&N reading program as well. It's a bit slow at times but it's a pretty good reader with strong book management capabilities (shelves) and the magazines are pretty good too.
Don't mean to sound dumb, but what exactly is this a link for?
Hopefully the link is to the source code used to compile the Android OS on the Nook Color.
Maybe I will even finally compile me some Android.
At the very least it would seem that combining parts of this with AOSP 2.2 might yield one / several usable froyo kernels for the NC. Easy to say, definitely more complicated to actually do.

I like the device so much, alll I do is talk about how good it is and how it compares for the money.
I highly recommend it to everyone looking for a reader, that's capable of much more.
I'm surprised how many people are interested
I bought one yesterday and already have it rooted. Additionally, I have ADW Launcher, all of my favorite apps/games, DroidX keyboard, etc. I agree that this is easily one of the best values in the tablet segment. I'm really eager to see Android 2.2/2.3 though.
I got my Nook last week and use it quite a bit. I too agree it is the best tablet around, especially when you consider the price point. I'm using it now even with tapatalk. Most of my friends are probably tired if hearing me extol its virtues. Once Froyo or Gingerbread hits, along with bluetooth (if possible) this thing will be even more awesome.

Got one for my wife last week, rooted it right away and we both think it's great. It's the only tablet in the house and I'm using it more than she and considering buying another NC just for myself.
Perhaps I should just be patient with Honeycomb (supposedly) coming out early 2011, along with new devices designed specifically for a more tablet friendly OS. Does anyone question whether NC will be able to run Honeycomb?

The answer to honeycomb relies on two things (the way i see it):
1) We must be able to boot custom roms. From what i gather, alot of progress is being made there already, so i doubt that will be too much of an issue. If we can get a recovery option, and be able to do nandroid backups, it would be even safer.
2) The hardware must meet HC's specs. This is the real question mark - what kind of hardware will HC actually need? As it is, our tablets really aren't lacking in the hardware department, and a custom overclocked/undervolted kernel should really help (speed boost to 1.0-1.2). As it is, our A8 CPU and SGX530 GPU are no slouch (though yes, our GPU is weaker than top end gear), and the 512MB ram should really help performance. Again, it comes down to what custom kernels and roms can be cooked up for our hardware..

Hi,
I got one yesterday. Can’t open it until Christmas, since it’s my present from my wife. Anyway, when I bought it the clerk was talking about training. I told ther that the person that was getting it was very tech savvy. She said “They will get it home and hack it in about an hour. You know it can be hacked into a full tablet computer.”
This was from the cashier.
Best sub 300 tablet in the market right now
Its basically a 7 inch droid x
Hope we get aosp rom soon

I have been watching this ColorNook development since they announced it coming to market.
Bought one 5 days ago after autonook was finished. For $250 it beats the market tablets hands down. Tethered it wirelessly to my Droid and I was in business.
Glad I made the leap. Rotting took less than an hour. Great job guys.
Thanks
The nook color is an awesome little device! I chose it over the galaxy tab, (it was way too expensive, & i didn't want another two year contract with sprint). It's crazy how much people on craigslist are charging for a tab, they get up to $600!, no thank you, i'm happy with my autonootered/rooted nook, & it didn't cost me an arm and a leg I recommend you guys pick one up, it's only gonna' get better.

[Q] I am intending to buy a touchpad, but ...

hello to all apologize if posting this in the wrong place, and sorry for my english google translator.
I am very close to buying a touchpad but I'm unsure whether to buy it or kindlefire, even if you think a player no longer manufactured there will still be many hacks, and developing roms for it?
ICS will be possible on the touchpad, there are many people developing for it?
I thank all
Well this can do all a kindle but kindle can't do all this can. While we have some issues with drivers, over time it will be fixed and yes, will have ics. Kindle can't have WEBOS now...

The kindle is garbage. If you want to see the wonders of the Touchpad, check out my videos:
http://www.youtube.com/user/reverendkjr?feature=mhee
The Touchpad is definitely better hardware wise. You are getting a 9.7" screen (same size as the ipad) instead of only a 7" one. You also get a full GB of RAM on the Touchpad instead of only 512MB. My phone has the same CPU and GPU that the Kindle Fire does and on GTA 3 there is some lagging. On my Touchpad with CM7 the game is smooth.
ok thank you all, I'm convinced to buy the touchpad, but only one question to those who already have it, all games and applications to run on android Cyanogen mod? there are still some compatibility issues.
And it is possible for easy installation of the dual bot WEB OS and android I liked the interface of the Web OS, did not want to be without him, and he accepts some sort of memory card? these are still my doubts

The only way to install android is dual boot with webOS. You cannot remove webOS.
The TouchPad has no expansion slot. You can use a USB flash drive with a janky set up using a USB on the go adapter, USB y splitter, and USB power source. So, basically you are stuck with what ever version you get, 16gb or 32gb.
I greatly prefer webOS, so I don't spend much time in android ... Until there is a tablet version of android available. I have not had any compatibility issues with the few apps I have installed.

as long as your fairly tech savvy, i would go with the TP. The only thing that would worry me if i were you, is the tutorials are all written in english so that may make things tougher. o ya, and good luck finding one unless your looking for a used (and maybe overpriced) touchpad.

I have read and understood the tutorials I've done some installations of Cyanogen on other devices, then I am completely noob, and my reading of good English and have a greater problem with writing.
I'm buying it right now, here I pay 800 reais to 425 dolares worth in the 32GB version, I know it is expensive compared to prices here in Brazil over U.S. prices are still absurd tablets.

Couldn't agree with you more. I own two regular e-Ink Kindles.
They are very enjoyable to use for what they're designed for: reading
books.
Out of curiosity, I pre-ordered the Kindle Fire. When it arrived, I was
very hopeful. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a piece of *******(sorry)
It's just not ready for prime time.
I currently have XRON's Android on my Touchpad and I am extremely
happy with it. (until ICS comes along, of course )
Read Leo's thread it has all you need to know. I never flashed a Rom before and have been using his for a month with great results. Just follow the instructions.

Acer A100 or NT?

I am trying to decide on one 7" tablet. The Acer A100 is a full fledged HC tablet, but has horrible battery life and a screen with sub par viewing angles. The NT from what I have seen has a great screen, better battery life, but you lose the benefits of a full fledged tablet. I know we can side load apps, block OTA's, etc. Custom Roms are the biggest factor in making this decision, since the A100 has less development going on for it than the NT. I get my fix with my Nexus S 4G, so that takes care of that fix. I don't really want to spend more than $300 total.
As much as I like the NT, if you're looking for a full Android tablet experience, then you should go for the Acer.

Is that even possible? Something with less development than the NT? That must be a dog of a device if it is.
I have been doing some more research, and I don't think I can live with 4 hours of battery life. That is just horrendous for today's standards. I weighed my needs, what I actually would do on the device, and will be getting the NT. Custom ROMS are great, but they don't offer much to what I want to do. The most intensive game I may get for the NT would be dead space.

If you can figure out HOW to get dead space, I'd be much obliged if you'd pass along the info.
Android Market and Amazon both say it's incompatible with the Nook.
Bummer.
I read somewhere in a post regarding militia market. I don't know if it is an illegal means of obtaining apk's, but it was just an example of the most intensive app I would more than likely use.
i did the same research but i end up taking the risk and get the NT, why? because as seen with the nook color its the only tablet apart of galaxy tab that has official cyanogenmod support as well as MIUI so that is just awesome, though i was thinking to get the nook color but 50 bucks more for double ram, mic and 1ghz dual core processor was worthy for me, now i bought when i didn't realized about the serious stand-by of development cause of the locked bootloader, now yesterday i just read a post of a user stating that he tried all possible ways to root the device that just got without success that means B&N did another of their tricks to not allow us to root the device, so now i think im screwed because its already being shipped from USA to equador. I didn't mind to wait for development of ROMs but this is too much, i just hope devs find a way, i'll wait 'till january if not i'll try to sell it and get the nook color or any other. Guess was too good to be true lol. Must be optimist but as i said is a risk, take it or not is up to you.

Yeah, even the Acer has issues with dev, but Acer will be developing ICS for it. My only other option in the price range I am looking at is the KF. So, I may take the hit on hardware specs for development purposes.
i'm in a similar boat, own a Nexus S 4G and bought both a Nook Tablet for my wife and an A100 for myself.
Overall I prefer the A100. Viewing angle is honestly not as bad as reviews say, development is pretty non existant but HC now and ICS later is nice simply for having apps suited for a tablet, and Tegra is overall more gamer friendly.
Nook screen is great and I prefer the physical design, but you miss out on tablet oriented stuff like the persistant status bar and some stuff is just goofy due to the tablet not being meant for standard android use. I am however having a great time keeping an eye on adamoutler and the other guys trying to get past the bootloader.
@neonjam: Would you say that the battery life is comparable as well? Do you think the acer sync software is a hassle as well?

the battery on the A100 is only 3/4 the capacity of the NT, and I don't believe it's CPU/GPU is as power efficient as the NT's OMAP either. I don't own one so I don't know what the real-world result is though
I had the same dilemma. Went into Best Buy planning on getting the Tablet then saw the Acer there with stock Honeycomb on it for the same price. Went back and forth for a while but after playing with both it was clear the Tablet was just a much better product if you could get past the software limitations. Acer's rep as long as I can remember has always been to make cheap electronics, both in price and quality. Glad I got the tablet after all the great developers here who helped me to root it, block the OTA and get it set up to a non-B&N experience. Have been thoroughly impressed with the device for being only $250 with or without custom Roms or even Honeycomb.

You can root the Tablet, but no custom roms yet due to the locked bootloader.

[Q] Few questions about Lapdock/Webtop

Hey everyone!
I want to acquire the lapdock, however I have some questions before, I hope you can help me
I am currently running CM7 Mod ICS and I know I will have to change the ROM, for one which supports the Webtop.
Which ROM do you recommend me? I have read that The DarkSide with a mod to activate the webtop : "fruit cake 2.3.5" was a good alternative. What do you think about it ?
In fact, I want to install a "full" version of Linux: Ubuntu or Debian. Which is the fastest, most stable (is XFCE fast?)?
Finally, Is Webtop/Lapdock as stable and fast as a netbook (like 10 inch with Intel ATOM)?
I thank you in advance !!!
I've got a 10" netbook with Atom N450 cpu, and I've got the lapdock. No comparison in speed -- the netbook is much faster and much more functional. When you get many things open on the lapdock things slow way down and you start to get insufficient memory warnings/errors. I believe the Atrix with 1 gb is just too shy on memory to work well (my netbook was upgraded to 2 gb). I have noticed that if I restart the phone and have nothing else running, the lapdock mode works better. The other issue with the lapdock is the lack of multitouch on the trackpad - very annoying to use. When I do use the lapdock, I use my bluetooth mouse to overcome this frustration. I'm glad I only paid $50 for the dock - much more and I'd really feel like I got taken on that purchase.
Waw ! where do you get it 50$ ?
Got it direct from AT&T back in November or December when they were closing them out. It was free shipping too, so the total came to $53 after tax delivered to my door. Brand new lapdock, not a refurb. It was a sweet deal, I just wish the dock was faster and more functional. I may go the Linux route with it to increase the functionality, but I don't know if that will help the speed.
If you have a basic knowledge about Linux OS then I recomend to you Lapdock with Ubuntu. Here is my video and you can see how usefull is it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGfZe4jOdfo

Please help me decide...

Hey guys, so I can land an excellent condition 16gb Touchpad for $160 today if I decide to. My question is, should I?
Just some quick background, my girlfriend has the original iPad which I have access to. I have a HTC Rezound phone that I have rooted. I would most definitely be buying this to root and just have a device that is bigger than my phone when I want to watch YouTube videos, surf the net while on the couch, play some games, etc.
I see that CM7 and CM9 is compatible with the Touchpad. I also see that CM9 renders the device not fully functional (mic, camera). I honestly would rarely use the mic or camera, so it's no biggie there. My question however is how the device other than those things functions with CM9? Is it a smooth experience? Does everything else pretty much work? Will CM9 get to a point where everything works great?
I just want to see if I should buy this or another budget tablet like the Fire or any upcoming ones.
Any advice would be great, thanks!
I recommend going for it if you want a tablet. I just got mine a week ago and I dont even pick up my phone anymore. Both webOS and CM9 on the Touchpad are super smooth. Yes, the mic and camera dont work but, like you, I dont need those. Android on the Touchpad is fairly new and with all the popularity its been getting lately, the CyanogenMod team has made it official on their site so the development for it wont be done anytime soon.
As far as webOS, I love that OS as well. Its just a shame there isnt as much development for it as of right now. But the OS is going open source so hopefully that will get some development going on it. Its really nice to dual boot both operating systems though and have a choice.
I dont think you would regret it though. I bought the 32GB version though since I knew I was going to install android on it. You might want to see if others say 16GB is enough for putting Android on it.

It will for sure fit. But that leaves less room for other stuff you put on it. I currently am down to 20 gigs left out of 32. But I have game roms and game data on there too.

Go for it! You'll have a dual boot tablet. You'll find that webos is a great os. Battery life is great and you can always switch to android when needed. Even though android is Alpha now, it works great. You won't regret it.
I think 16 is plenty for my use. Like you I generally web browse, YouTube, etc. I really don't store any content on my device. I have all the apps I could want, on Android and webOS. Here is a screenshot of the storage menu - 820 MB of 1.46 GB left for apps, 7.79GB left of 10.75GB for storage. The device is partitioned when you install Android, so you do lose about 3 GB. But when do you even really get the amount advertised?

This just posted about an hour before your thread.
But edit...never mind.
Hey fellow rezounder. I had the touchpad since the firesale. Never used it really. I recently had a slow weekend so I threw cm9 on that beast. Now I use it every day. Webos is great but there just aren't any apps.
Cm9 is awesome. Everything you need is working. I even usesd titanium backup to restore all my apps from my rezound to the touchpad. I just bought the touchstone charging dock last night. I'm addicted to the touchpad again!

I'm currently running CM9 on my 16 gb Touchpad and haven't run into a shortage. Even with quite a bit of media content (Several movies, a TV series) I still have room to spare.
For your lighter usage I think you will have no problems with the 16gb version.
Get it... You get a good dual core and 1 gb ram tablet for a very cheap price. I use it more often than my brand new laptop for games, surfing, youtube, schools pdfs etc. 16 gb is big enough for tons of apps and stuff.

I have a 16GB touchpad, and pairing it with a bluetooth keyboard its replaced my laptop as my go-to machine while out of the house. I take all my class notes and write drafts of papers using it, and its been very solid in terms of reliability. It does sometimes reboot by itself, but I've noticed it only happens after idling for a while and never while actually using it.
Storage isnt a big issue for me, after installing Android the SD card has about 10.5GB free which is plenty as long as you dont put a lot of music or video on it.
I'd say go for it. Its an absolutely amazing tablet for the price and with a dev community that's only going to grow as CM9 gets out of alpha.
Thanks so much for all of the responses guys! I ended up pulling the trigger on a 16gb one last night for $160 from a local Craigslist deal. It came in the original box with all of the original cables and paperwork. Everything is in brand new, mint condition! I was stoked.
The guy had no clue that you could even install Android on it. He said he was getting rid of it because it didn't have "all of the good iPad apps". LOL.
Anyways, his loss, my gain. I threw CM9 on it with ease last night and let me tell you, I am super happy with the purchase! This tablet is a steal for the price I paid.
Just a quick question, on webOS can you place shortcuts and such on the homescreen? I couldn't figure out how to do it.
Thanks!

The guy had no clue that you could even install Android on it. He said he was getting rid of it because it didn't have "all of the good iPad apps". LOL.
Anyways, his loss, my gain. I threw CM9 on it with ease last night and let me tell you, I am super happy with the purchase! This tablet is a steal for the price I paid.
Just a quick question, on webOS can you place shortcuts and such on the homescreen? I couldn't figure out how to do it.
Thanks!

You can drag icons from the drawer to the dock. That's it, there's no "desktop" in webOS.
I like a clean desktop and getting to my apps in webos is not a problem. I do have ICS installed and like the dual boot option but WebOs is so smooth that I really prefer it.
