First off this is a development idea for right now.
The idea is instead of trying to chang dpi and a bunch of other settings that cause problems, we simply enable webtop 3.0 on our phone screen itself rather than mirror it to a display. Doing so would give a working tablet ui and would also get rid of all of the problems that other methods have.

Get ready to get *****ed at for starting another thread about the same thing. lol
Its a cool idea though. Do you think our phones can handle the ui? Are you thinking something more like a theme or a skin or a complete new user interface?

I'm curious to why you want this? You would need to fool the device into thinking the phone has a much higher resolution meaning that everything on screen will be tiny (I think).

It would be nice to have the ui like on paranoid android, like hybrid on this phone.

In webtop you can choose a resolution, so all you have to do is go into settings and turn the resolution down.

I've watched overzealous moderation destroy good forums long before there was even a world wide web. I'm not saying that is happening here, but...
If you tried say to create a nandroid of your Web top then flash it to your safe system in safestrap then boot into it and ran into problems you could justifiably ask for help on the dev forums, or just ask where you could find the Web top applications on your phone. It could be as simple as installing the Web top launcher over the stock and using something like home smack to switch between the two. If you took any small step in trying to achieve the goal then asked for help it would be undeniably dev forum material. It's probably more complicated than just booting into it or using the launcher but if you take a lead ill help.

That tricks the phone into thinking it has a lower dpi which makes applications behave weird and force close, what im working on is getting the phone to run webtop 3.0 as the main os/launcher so that you have a fully compatible tablet ui on your phone.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
Wouldn't we be better off porting ParanoidAndroid over? since it's based of cm9 and we have cm9 almost stable on the Razr, it would be much easier than forcing tablet launcher.
Also what exactly is the benefit of webtop as to me it only seems usable in a large screen size. I think usability would be considerably more cumbersome.
Sent from my Nexus 7
I don't think it'll be to difficult to accomplish seeing as webtop is launched almost as an application when HDMI is connected since they implemented 3.0
The reason I'm not holding my breath on a parandroid port is because development seems to be slowing down for our phone and i hate to rely on other people
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
I've also seen webtop displayed on the razr screen briefly when unplugging from my atrix lapdock. I think it would be interesting to flip the bit somehow to make it stay persistently just to play around with and see what it's like!

This may be a dumb question, but if you are deodexed, would you be able to install themes from the Motorola ATRIX since im assuming the framework is somewhat similar?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA Premium App
I'm not sure how it would go over, but it wouldnt hurt to try as long as long as you have a backup or another theme to flash back over the broken one(if it is). I would try one that doesnt includes any apps or anything besides framework right away though.
I would say no because the screen is different and framework is probably different too.

Any way to get whatever version of "blur" the bionic and Droid 3 ported to the photon?
My friend has a bionic and his wife has the Droid 3 and their versions of blur are smoother and faster than the "blur" we have. Id use the stock launcher if it was like theirs. Ours is slow and laggy. Both demo units at my local stores were laggy as well so I know its notmy phone.

Strange, my Blur runs smooth without any hiccups, and im running setcpu at 608mhz. So its underclocked on stock rom and kernel.

I brought this same thing up when the phone first launched. I really want the droid 3 launcher but it looks like that is a pretty hard task. Motorola's file structure seems to be the most complicated besides Samsung and it's harder than probably thought to be..
I don't think we will officially see it because it's really made for the whole DRoid push that verizon has. I saw somewhere that we actually don't have a blur phone so that's why we are not getting it. The verizon phones are running motoblur.

Waiting for it bigtime....
Overview:
This is basically a ROM I made when I was bored.
It is based off of Pepperm1nt's [ROM][GB 2.3.4]GingerBread Phone 7 v0.4
I replaced some of the apps with MIUI apps such as
MIUI launcher
MIUI Music
MIUI Browser
I am not sure this ROM will work or flash so flash at your own risk
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone. Use at your own discretion
How to install
Must be on 2.3.4 NOT 2.3.5
Install bootstrap
Reboot into bootstrap recovery
Wipe data/cache
Flash this ROM

This is only GBphone rom + the MIUI launcher look alike and locker + other look alikes.
Sounds a little weird. No pics of screenshots or even tested? Based off someone elses rom without even asking first. Althoug he did give proper credit and did not try to act like it was his own. I appreciate all development for this phone but have to admit this is a first for me to see The OP even states not sure if this will work lol. Does not give you that warm fuzzy feeling and anxious to flash something new.

I dont mind doing a sbf. Did plenty when I was getting to eclipse 2.02 when I had root keeper on my phone I do not mean to bash anyone it is just weird the OP says he is not sure if it will work. Also the title I thought was a little misleading thought this was a MIUI rom.
Seems odd to complain about someone cooking up a new option for a phone with so little support. Regardless of the nature of that option, or what you experienced on another phones dev thread.
Thanks Jay, though I wont be using your work its nice to see people working with the x2. And incorporating miui apps / miui lookalike apps is a neat idea for miui fans who can't flash it due to a pesky locked bootloader.
And, I know none of you fine folks intended to come off as ungrateful or complainy (its my word don't steal it ). Its easy for things to be misinterpreted, between thinking about what you want to post, posting, and someone else reading your post with none of the vocal expression you had in mind.

Not that hard.
Silly question but what's the need to root this phone, is great as it is.
Don't get me wrong, all my past phones were rooted OG Evo, Evo 3d, Evo LTE and now DNA is stock , but rooting seems unnecessary really.
If it's not broken why fix it.
Not fixing but enhancing. The phone is great as is... Adding in a few tweaks can only make it better plus the option to have the latest without waiting on slow big red... That's why I can't wait to root this bad boy.

Being able to flash custom edits (no more wireless charging pop up!), user a custom recovery where I can make full nandroid backups, and titanium backup of all my apps are the big ones for me. Also custom splash screen (that default HTC screen lights up my whole house) as well as boot / down animations is something love. I was making custom boot animations and hacking my old moto razr era flip phone back in the day.
Oh, and we'll probably get a ported sense 5 way before it comes from Verizon.

I can't wait to get rid of the bloatware and get my inverted apps back.
I don't need ROOT I need the bootloader unlocked so I can flash custom recoveries which leads to custom ROMs.
Example:
So when HTC says oh sorry we can't upgrade you to Sense 5 because you don't have an IR blaster I say thats ok because Newtoroot already has a Sense 5 ROM that I've been using LONG before HTC decided they weren't going to upgrade me.
With a good ROM you ALMOST don't need root.

Yea, I know, and I am very thankful of that. However, in most cases (if we get an official CM ROM) we can get updates much much sooner than you can with stock. Who knows how long HTC/Verizon will make us wait for 4.2.

Why do we need air? lol JK! For me part of the reason is that I love to tinker and strive to make the phone perfect, which theoretically is really impossible thus I always have to tinker! But I enjoy trying out all the cool custom ROMs and kernels to find what suits my needs best. RIght now I'm UV by 100 and UC 10 1.24 and it still runs as smooth as stock (though obviously my qudrant score has dropped from 8200 to 7100). I have unlimited data, so WiFi tether is a huge bonus. And getting rid of all the annoying icons (GPS reticle, etc). And as awesome as HTC's weather clock widget is, the transparent one in the Viper ROM is the most gorgeous widget ever to me.
All that being said, and there are not many, the DNA is an Android phone I would recommend stock to people.
I'm actually surprised its taking this long to get the ROM going on the DNA. Not that I have any idea of the amount of work that must go into doing something like this, but these guys that are much smarter than me usually have these things out very quickly. In the past it always seems like there is that group of developers that are trying to be the fist to crack/hack/unlock anything that comes out.
There are plenty of ROMs for the DNA man...check the android development section for the DNA...
