Does the photon support landscape mirroring? If it does that's what we need ported.

Really another thread about the photon??? Did we not get the point across in the first one? Its not safe to use atrix mods on your PHONE!!! Nobody here has one. You need to find a forum about your own phone!!!

I think you may have misread the thread.....
I have seen the Webtop Hack for the atrix but not the actual mirror mode for the phone itself so I can play video games and such full screen.

Unless you plan to watch movies turned 90 degrees on your TV, no, we dont have HDMI mirroring.
Ok to clear up the confusion, yes Atrix has HDMI mirroring.The only drawback to the HDMI mirroring option we have available through hacks and mods it that it doesnt support both landscape and portrait(true mirroring). It just does portrait. What the OP wants, I believe, is to port the existing HDMI Apk from the Photon to the Atrix so we can have true mirroring, or atleast to start the discussion so a dev can look into the files of the Photon to see what needs to be changed so our existing apk can finally be finished.

Yes, it seems I did. Sorry for snapping.
It probably be best to port the photon 4g mirroring to the atrix rather then create a program like HDMwIn to do it. But at this point i will do anything to get some landscape hdmi mirroring!

I pulled this file from the Motorola Droid 3 Dump over in their thread. I hope it can help someone.
It won't install on my device. And there is also a .opex file as well but I can't even upload it here to share.

It would be great if there were an easy way to port landscape hdmi mirroring from another device. Will probably still take a lot of work though. oh well im patient...

I check these forums day and night to see if someone will magically post a fully working HDMI mirror hack with landscape mode. lol
I used to use a Galaxy S and I feel like Razr Maxx is falling behind with multi touch. Sometimes when I type fast, Razr would skip a letter. Also, the vibration is a bit clumsy compared to my previous phone. Other than that I love this phone. Is mine a defective phone ?
The stock keyboard sucks for speed typing. Try a 3rd party one.
Im using thumb keyboard and theres no lag.
As stated the stock keyboard isn't all that great. There are plenty of keyboard apps in the market to choose from. I like Flex T9 myself.

The screen sometimes does not register a Swype for me but overall Swype feels the same as on my tablet or previous phone. I do wish the sgs2 had been on big red though. Honestly the razr maxx just feels weird
yeah.. I tried couple keyboards but they are stil lthe same... I'm typing really slow right now..
I noticed this as well when I had a Razr. Even seemed like it scrolled a little funny when I was scrolling through apps or browsing websites.
SwiftKey X is my keyboard of choice. I will admit the keyboard does not work as well on the Razr as it did on my Thunderbolt. But i think its because the Razr has a larger screen res so the keys are smaller than they were on my Tbolt. Not sure.

Hey guys!!
Well I recently have acquired a Droid Razr. My Nexus has given me MANY troubles and was able to trade it in for the Razr. Now I am intrigued by the lapdocks. I have a GIANT alienware which is a beautiful and amazing laptop, but its to damn bulky to travel with back and forth to class with. I want something I can do some basic term papers on, surf the web and just use for general use. My question(s) are:
A) How good are these docks?
B) Is the 500 significantly better than the 100?
C) Can I still get the on contract price with my newly acquired razr?
D) I have an HP touchpad rooted with ICS, would it make more sense to use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse vs the lapdock?
E) Where is the cheapest place to get these and do they generally run for cheaper than on amazon?
Thanks in advance!
...this too, is relevant to my interests
I have the 100 and it's pretty handy. I use it at work since all of our software is web-based and it works well. I also use it for browsing at home and doing work for school. It can be a bit slow at times, but it's usable. I picked mine up from the local corporate VZW store for 199.97, which is the cheapest I've seen it.

I hated mine and i was thinking to sell it. The catch was using it with a wireless mouse. It is pain to use the touchpad. Once I used a wireless mouse the lapdock started to appeal more and more to me. I have an Asus G series and I used to take it to work. Now my laptop is always at home and I use my lapdock .

I enjoy the Lapdock so much more sense I installed the leaked ICS ROM. It takes away Firefox, and get you a phone/tablet experience. I like that you can run app in phone or tablet resolutions.

Hi, good to know that you can use the lapdock effectively
How do you use your quick office app , i cant seem to expand it to "full screen", when it expands to full screen it just comes in the center and that serves no purpose. Is there an addon or something so that i can add to expand my documents to full screen so that work can be easy.
I am using Quick office 4.1.20 on Motorola MB860.
Any help will be appreciated

Google doc serves me well when i am not in my lab. In my lab i get no wifi or Data connection, its one of those dead spots in the univ. Thats why i need on device editing. i also using smart office 2 which is good but it wont let me save documents on SD card i can only save then on Internal memory. its just a pain doing few more steps trying to transfer documents to SD card.
Could there be any way to run tge webtop 3.0 ui on the actual phone screen itself? That would make the dpi problems go away
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
Theres an app called nebtop but i havent tried it yet. So tempting, let me know if that works for you.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Nebtop is for webtop 2.0 and it just allows you to use webtop on non lapdocks with an hdmi cord. Im talking about running the actual webtop 3.0 on the phone screen itself, not mirroring it to an external display. Doing so would give the effect of a tablet ui on your phone.
Thank you for the response though

For Webtop 3.0 you don't need anything, just plug into HDMI and select Webtop.
@pyroemaniac: isn't DPI have to do with the screen itself and not the UI? and wouldn't running the tablet UI on the phone itself be kinda hard to use
If you lower your dpi in the build.prop you can force ics to go into "tablet" mode but it distorts ui elements and causes instability. With webtop at the right resolution on the phone screen i think could be usable and would eliminate the problems mentioned above with changing the dpi.
Plus i just think it would be cool to use the tablet netflix and other apps on my phone
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
you actually have the best idea I've seen in months! I wish I had the time to write an app to do this!
Yeah i thought it was a pretty good idea, i just don't know if its possible.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
You could try installing safestrap, back up everything, then flash the Web top to the safe system then booting into it. I'm not totally sure about it, but I believe safestrap uses the Web top partition to load a custom ram disk on top of our existing kernel as a way to boot custom roms with a locked boot loader. Though, I would believe that the Web top would need some small tweaking to run correctly, for input, not sure the touch screen drivers would be included... Etc. But if it could be done i wonder with some additional tweaks if we could build a fully functional ubuntu rom...

Here's something I found for the Atrix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980193
My think is that it should be able to run as an application almost. I unhooked my phone from my hdmi cord one and my phone kept kept the webtop ui on my screen for about 10 seconds and i was able to control it.. though it was laggy

Isn't this essentially our nebtop?

He is basiclly talking a rom or a launcher with the looks of tablet mode, but on the cellphone screen without connecting anything, something like paranoid android rom we have on samsung galaxy note, i personally tried it on a note and its pretty good, would be cool for Razr.
In a way yes, but what i am talking about is we actually use the webtop software thats already installed on our device. If there was a way to open it like an application that would switch us over to tablet mode "webtop" and when you want to go back to phone mode you just use the same app to switch back.
I think that makes sense haha

All we need is a toggle button to flip one bit. The question though is which bit. Perhaps this thread would garner more serious response if posted in the dev section?
I was going to post the idea in the dev section, but people have a tendency to ***** at you if its not an actual product that your posting.

I totally understand that, and you probably WILL get *****ed at, but maybe one dev will think "great idea & i think i know how to do that." Go ahead and clearly post there exactly what you are talking about. Who knows, we could have that toggle by tomorrow &i bet it would get a LOT of press as it would be a whole new interface for Android phones!
This thread is a little old, but I recently acquired a Razr with a bad ESN and cracked but still working screen to use as a HDMI attached media device. Webtop was giving me a few issues, refusing to switch to tablet mode sometimes, so I decided to see if the dpi could be changed to force it into an always tablet mode.
Using a backup of the stock 4.1.2 ROM in Safestrap slot 1, I changed the DPI to 120 and it seems to be working well, apps still show as compatible in Google Play. I'm using Holo Launcher HD and had to switch some settings to get icons looking right.
Here is what 120DPI looks like if anyone is interested.
Hi has anyone had a problem with the screen on there RAZR where in a dark black room and you watch a video for example and you get to a black screen there are black spots all over the display and screen leakage on top of where the capacitive buttons are.
I have had two razrs because of this in a week I can't stand it and I just called verizon today and they said that there is nothing wrong with the phone like they don't believe me but I don't think they went into a dark room to really test this issue.
Just want to see if anybody has had this issue and what can be done to possibly show verizon proof that I am not lying about the screen on the phones they have given me.
Thanks

I posted the same question thread and it got locked down because it is a known quantity however I find it to be sloppy craftsmanship.
That being said, I accepted it and it does not bother me one bit.

I have noticed it on my Maxx too, but I have only ever seen it while playing one particular game when the screen is really dark. Other than that, you can't see it at all, so it doesn't bother me.

It's a minor issue and imo not worth making a big fuss over. Overall the razr is a very high quality device. Great hardware, and software (although updates can be slow to push) we will be receiving JB.

To me it is unacceptable I got a new phone worth a defect would you buy a laptop with screen issues I wouldn't so this isn't good to me at all.
So I went into Verizon told them about my issue talked to someone on the phone found out I was in my 14 days still and Gabe it back can't have this problem but one good thing came from it I now game a RAZR M and it is beautiful without the screen issue also thanks for everybody helping and enjoy your RAZR it is a good phone but not for me with the screen issue on two different new phones.
By the easy RAZR M is a great step up in my opinion same size screen better quality screen though (even though technically it is the same) and fast.

You will probably have the same.issues with the RAZR M. It's not a defect per say, it's just something that happens with this type of screen, which the RAZR M also uses.

I don't think the M or the HD's will have this issue. They are using different screens.
I really am surprised Motorola released the RAZR with this issue.
