Lapdock/Webtop Resources/Q&A - Motorola Droid RAZR

Here are some links to all things Webtop. Also a place for general discussion on getting the most out of the Lapdock and/or webtop environment. I will update this thread over the next 1-2 ds. Feel free to add links or tips.
Lapdock:
Purchase options:
Razr native: Lapdock 100 (10", $199) or 500(14") (coming soon)
Bionic Lapdock(11")($199) (same as Atrix lapdock but with ports in proper orientation.)
Atrix Lapdock(11"): Requires modifaction of ports (flipping ports and shave away some excess soft plastic.) No headphone port access.
-AT&T: OOS, All4Cellular($64 refurb) also OOS
Atrix Modification instructions:

Bionic thread but good pictures. You will need to shave away extra plastic on the edges and back of the cradle for the Razr to seat properly to avaoid disconnections.
The other option is to run extensions from the ports or to thread the ports behind the cradle.
Linux Mod (Eternity Project):

"gentop": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403068
Props to kholk. Please support his efforts. Turns lapdock into a fully functioning linux laptop while maintaining access to phone/android features on lapdock.
Webtop on a TV options:
1. HD Dock ($99)
2. Travel adapter ($29): http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/U...rs-and-Adapters/Motorola-Travel-Adapter-US-EN

3. Webtop hack (webtop through HDMI without adapter.)
-Work in progress, already available for Bionic:

Please support work by Fenny. 400757 is also working on it. Still needs touchpad/keyboard functionality, so currently works only with a bluetooth mouse/keyboard.

Known lapdock issues/limitations:
Atrix lapdock:
No headphone jack access
Concerns of security of phone (either standing upright or connected to exposed ports)
Screen does not open past about 120 degrees (flaw in original design corrected in lapdock 100.)
No HDMI out
HDMI Webtop Mod:
No phone as track-pad or keyboard functionality yet
questions about lagging
Webtop environment
Slow performance on webtop native apps (Firefox) as compared to android native apps. Especially regarding choppy video through firefox.
No native RDP solution (can use android RDP apps on full screen.)
No way to install additional linux apps (addressed by Eternity Project's Linux mod.)

I should correct your statement about the ATRIX LapDock.
There are two ways to access the 3.5mm jack of the RAZR while docked into the ATRIX LapDock:
1. Drill two holes into the lapdock's dock, it should be large enough for a 3.5mm jack to get into it with its cable, then connect the 3.5mm jack to the RAZR and make it to sit in the dock
2. Drill two precise holes into the lapdock's dock, buy a 3.5mm female and a 3.5mm male connector, make the male connector to fit locked into the hole near the USB connector, make the female connector to fit locked on the side of the lapdock's dock. Solder the wires so that the male connector is connected to the female connector.
The first way isn't so clean, but the second way can get you into troubles as the work has to be done with maximum precision, otherwise, you could result with two useless holes on your lapdock's device dock.
As for the HDMI out on the ATRIX LapDock, we can do something for this thing to be possible. As I don't know how the Lapdock 100 HDMI OUT works, the only thing that comes to my mind right now is:
Required:
1. HDMI connector (the same on the phone, can't remember if it's female or male, but it should be female)
2. Some wires
3. A switch
You should drill another two damn holes into your Swiss Che.....emh, LapDock dock, and fit the HDMI connector into it.
Then, you should fit into the first hole the HDMI connector and into the second one the switch.
Now, you can solder the switch between the dock's HDMI connector and the external one you've put into the hole.
Use the switch to select which HDMI connector to use when docked: if you use HDMI1 you'll view all on the LapDock display, HDMI2 for TV/external HDMI display.
As you can see, the HDMI MOD is difficult to realize, but when you've got some experience and knowledge... you can do everything you want with your devices.

This is very good, but im unsure about it being in the development area.

Hah, I 100% agree, and did not mean to post it here. I wanted it to be in the general thread (or maybe it belongs in accessories), but after I accidentally put it here there was no way to move it using thread tools. It would be great if a moderator could move it.
I thought about copying and pasting into a new topic in the general thread, but it did not seem worth the effort.

I was thinking about doing a headphone mod to the lapdock, and then realized the simplest work-around is to use a bluetooth headphone.

I’m new in this forum, but when I buy my Motorola Razr XT910 its comes with the motorola travel adapter for webtop .
I don’t understand why in other countries sales the phone without this adapter!
PD: Sorry for my bad English but I’m new in this to wrote in this language

I am considering getting the ATRIX web dock and ir remote. Will the remote work with the Razor? And does the razor have the same web dock media centre looking software the ATRIX has in web dock mode controlled by remote. Thanks

---

I searched but could not find anything on how to get terminal access on the Razr. I found these instructions for the Atrix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981658
But this does not seem to work for me.

---

Is that related to my post? Thanks

---

Sorry, it was late when i wrote that. I meant terminal access to the webtop. If you follow the link I posted it's referring to that.

---

So in relation to using a media centre looking software like the one on the atrix via the ir remote how would this be done.?

---

Also does anyone know anything about webtop2sd? I'm pretty new to all this and I was looking through the post but I haven't quite figured out its purpose? I mean apart from transferring the webtop to the sd card.

---

I know one thing I'd love to know is if there is some kind of repository or archive for the webtop image files. The only one I know of is the one included in the razor utility 1.4. I'm not even sure what version it is yet.
I can't find any other ones and I'm trying to see if downdrading my web top version (current 2.0.139) would fix the evbridge loop (causes excess CPU usage) that shows up when web top is loaded with the HDMI hack.

---

Could you do me a favour?
Run these two commands from your phone then paste me the result:
ls -l /etc/localtime /usr/local/bin/evbridge
cat /etc/osh*
I'm closely pinpointing the evbridge issue.

HD Media Dock for the attrix for $30
Micro USB extension from usbfirewire for ~ $12
Already had a Mico HDMI Cable.
Remove Dock top plate, connect micro usb extension from dock to razr.
Connect Micro HDMI from RAZR to TV(one in dock is just a pass though)
$42. A lot cheaper than the HD Station ($99). Works Great.
Tested with USB Keyboard/Mouse/Card Reader/Thumb drive/ Logitech C910 Webcam. All work great on the RAZR.

What a coincidence. I had no idea that you replied to this thread. You got mail sorry i didn't see you online on chat earlier.
It appears that changing the timezone settings to manual, changing the timezone setting that was selected by the automatic settings to anything else and then rebooting fixes the evbridge loop issue. It must be kept on manual, but you can change the timezone back to what it was before (in my case EST GMT -5). It then continues to work without the evbridge issue.
This is tentative though I haven't hooked up a display to see if the trackpad comes up but I will be doing so very soon.
Edit: the trackpad does not come up but the evbridge issue does not show up when in webtop mode. I am using it right now . Performance is much better in webtop
Edit 10:22: Don't how or why but the trackpad is working now just plugged it in to do stuff and it came up with the track pad and it works. cpu usage is still normal.

I know the ir remote works with the droid 4 hooked up to the multimedia dock.
