Hello guys!
I just bought a lapdock for my Atrix 4g, but it will not work...
I am running max blur 5 atm, but i just get the Motorola logo after i select webtop
So the question is : what GB based rom will support lapdock connection?
Also, i am open to any suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

I would use a cm rom. Very simple HDMI mirroring.

Did you install something else, like fixed webtop 2.3.6? I've tried for almost an hour to no avail. I have rebooted the phone several times. Tried nottachtrix, max blur 5.0, and some other. I know the lapdock works because i tested with another atrix running froyo (2.2). I am desperate here and hope someone would shed some light... so frustrating :crying:

I use epinters CM10 with the tablet mods in jjwatmyselfs thread normally. I find it responsive & it works well as expected for me (within the know current software limitations), but I sometimes use the CSTurbo ROM here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30540170 with the fixed 2.3.6 webtop and the latest fix in the ROM thread. I clock it back to 1.3ghz 'cause 1.45 overheats my phone.

I will give it a go. I got webtop working by flashing webtop fix 2.3.6 from fruitcakes thread. I think I will give ubuntop a try, or webtop mod.
Thank you!
On another note...
When installing fixed webtop 2.3.6, would it be recommended to remove webtop included on (for example) nottachtrix or max blur 5.0 with Motorola Atrix Fastboot Tool?
I ask because when using the motofail's entertainment center, videos would only playback sound... *sigh*
OK, got ubuntop running (i guess). Installed VLC but video playback has heavy lag. Just a regular avi and mp4 file test. I moved the file to the internal sd on the phone and avi playback was better on entertainment center. Some smaller mp4 files recorded using the phone play sound only. I am starting to think that buying the Lapdock was a mistake... watching videos is what i do the most on my phone, so if anyone has more recommendations i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

i just noticed that the "My Apps" button in the market now looks like a phone and says "sprint"
If i click on it it doesn't take me to my apps.
Anyone else having this problem?
That's normal for this build. If you click on your Menu, you'll find My Apps there.
Thanks you were right
Best ROM on XDA
+1
I'm really enjoying this ROM. The speed of the machine is phenomenal.
Love the Rom ad well but can't seem to get the market updated or to show all apps. Any thoughts?
I've tried market enabled to no avail.
Issue with ROM or with G-Tab?
I've noticed that if I let the g-tab go to sleep, I'm having to reboot it get it to wake up.
Is anyone else having this issue? I've had my tablet since x-mas, but have nto used it much. It sat in a desk drawer for about 2 months, and I'm just now getting into using it.

I have this issue with every rom ive tried on my gtab. So now I pretty much just install clem's kernel everytime. Plus it gives me CIFS so I can stream media from my windows pc .

Yeah, again it's just the build. There are a ton of hacks that will get you more of the market, but I doubt you'll ever get "everything". Considering that the GTab wasn't blessed by Google, we're lucky to have the devs here to get the market at all.

Another issue with this ROM. Some have fixed it by going to Clemsyn's kernel, others to Pershoot's and still others by using CPU Master Free. Personally, I just set my tab's Screen Timeout to Never. What can I say...I like simple.

I agree. The only problems I see with it are no news and weather widget like on tnt, and the horrible photo album (I think it's from stock?)
Fireware
This may be a stupid question, so I am sorry if it is, but Calkulins v1.1 says it is "Based on rooted 2.2 / FRF91 - TnT 3991"...
so can you run it on the 1.1-3588 firmware, or will that brick?
Again, sorry for my ignorance...
Thanks!
ROM's and Firmware are the same thing. If you're asking whether you can use ClockworkMod or standard recovery, the answer is yes. Calkulin's ROM is a hybrid using the newer 3991 build for features but the older bootloader and recovery. It shouldn't cause you any trouble loading it over 3588.
Thanks! Sorry, I confused the firmware with bootloader, thanks for straightening that out!
No problem. Just want to make sure that I understand the question correctly. Happy modding!
All Done!
Woot!! I will say, I bought this on the woot! deal... and although I consider myself very computer savvy, I have never rooted/hijacked/whatever a device before...
Happily this was super easy! I wanted use the stock ROM for a bit to get familiar with it, but I just couldn't stand how slow/unresponsive/just crappy it was!!
So I jumped the gun and started in... luckily I did a lot of reading first!!
Loaded up Clockworkmod - and made a backup first!! lol
Used clockworkmod to install Calkulins ROM---OMG is it fast!!
The found that I was having the sleep-death issue... so I loaded up Clemsyns Kernel Too!!
Not a single hiccup! Even for a noob- this is super easy! Just follow all the great advice on the XDA forums (and don't skip steps!) and you can't screw it up.
Thanks to all the great people on here, for the hard work, and patience... I love seen good communities like this!
DeadEnd
Which version of Clemsyns is recommended?
Hi,
clakulins ROM is my prefered ROM so far
But, it needs some issues to be addressed to make it my daily driver.
1- sleep-to-death
I know we can use another kernel to fix this (so I keep this fix for later if everything else can work)
2- Settings/Family accounts/add member
This FC every single time. I definitly need this functionality. My Gtab being a family device....
3- Photos is horrible as previosuly pointed out in this thread. I want a centralized place for all my photos, or at least for local storage + picasa. With this gallery, we can only access picasa public albums. What about my own account !!!
4- Photos started to display pictures roatated one quarter to the left. It doesnt let me re-rotate them back to original. It does that for evey single picture, i cant fix this. Photos is now unusable
I tried a few Photos gallery apps from the market (6-7 so far). None of them works to my liking.
I just want somethings simple that get access to all my pics.
5- Cant play videos anymore. Not even the sample 'car' and 'king kong' that came with the Gtab.
If I can fix all of the above, calkulin will be my only and permanent ROM.
(ps items 4 and 5 were previously working ok in this ROM, this started yesterday)
Also, another things that is on my whish list:
- Have bluetooth HID
I have this blutooth keyboard collecting dust on the used parts shelve that I would like to use with the Gtab
thank you calkulin for all,
So, I decided to install clemsyn kernel to fix this sleep-death problem.
No problem installing, everything went well.
But now instead of comlaining that it cant play videos, it just FC on every videos I try to play.
I feel a complete reinstall will be necessary.
ALL Q&A FOR THIS ROM HAPPENS HERE.

I'm always happy to see new devs on xda for our beloved gtab, especially ones bringing us honeycomb. Could you add some screenshots?
sorry i have been out of the loop for a while on the gtab (ever since i got my thunderbolt) but why cant we get flash to work? i hear it has something to do with flash 10.3 not made for honeycomb by adobe but why not strip the flask.apk from the galaxy tab or xoom?

I think we can get flash to work. It looks to me Honeycomb is just glorified gingerbread. This ROM is run by pershoots gingerbread kernel. I have not started looking at this yet. I have only really dug into this the last couple weeks and first goals were external sd card, gsensor and pc mount on the same ROM.
Thanks for this, now we got a bunch of options on honeycomb , is there any specific difference between this and bos or illuminate?

I have not tried illuminate basically due to time. BOS/Flashback have become quite close. I think the main difference is Flashback has the enhanced shutdown menu
EDIT: opened new thread, wrong place to post sorry!
thanks for your work, and your clear description of it.
what kernel were you using before moving to pershoots latest?
Great Rom. I've been using it for a week now and love it. Very stable and fast. Easy connection to PC. Did I mention it was really fast.
I'm using this ROM from past 3 days, very stable and fast. Youtube (app) works in low res mode, HQ stops video from playback. Overall, nice ROM.
Vevo hd video!!!!
OK so glad to see this in the works still. I've been using it for 2 days now and seems very stable. As far as the youtube app, I'm loving it. For those of you who like HD video i did find that the VEVO app does work.......it does FC a few times just press the option again and it will go through just fine....Thank You guys for all your hard work.
Coming from Vegan 5.1 and Vegan-Gingerbread (VG), this is my first Honeycomb Rom i have bothered trying and its already my favorite. VG is a tad more responsive but i am very impressed with this as an Alpha. Very few negative and "i cant get ______to work" posts here (which is why i decided to try it first).
It works great for the things i use it for. Honeycomb is definately the better ROM for a tablet and i am loving the new interface. Access to the SD card is something i never really got working on vegan and it just works on flashback. I havent yet tried my usb keyboard or bluetooth head phones (frankly dont use those much).
Youtube works fine, i can get most *cough* videos to play using rockplayer lite, and flash actually does work if you are running it from within an app, or at least i was able to play news clips fine using the *cough* fox news app. The issue is the resolution of the Gtab as the image is stretched and distored..im betting aspect ratio of the Gtab is the key issue holding up Flash from working within honeycomb.
Keep up the great work...
I am hoping updates for flashback come quickly so i dont have to bother having to try out the other honeycomb roms (im lazy).

Changelog:

Added a EXPERIMENTAL FlashPlayer by zebwen. This unfortunately does not fix flash video playback on most sites (YouTube and BBC iPlayer do not work for example, but the small videos on the Yahoo news website do). What this DOES fix, is most other Flash applications, such as web games etc. Using this patched version of Flash, Kongregate Arcade works correctly, as well as other apps such as Zoodles Kid Mode that use flash within the application to play games. See instructions below in issues section on how to install flash.

Touchscreen is not working
Hi Everybody,
I need some help. I installed this rom into my malata zpad. First opening, there was no problem but after restarting, touchscreen was not worked.
I reinstalled, but same problem was occurred. My touchscreen is not working, only back and home button, which is physical button, are working.
What can I do?
it happened before but went away but now every time i connect the hdmi cable it keep disconnecting a and connecting it gets stuck on that loop and doesnt let me pick anything. the cable is practically how can i fix this or rule it to the cable?
m on wet dream 1.4.4 and when i dock my phone to the lapdock it lets me pick through the dock menu. but another thing..
ive never got to use mirror mode i try at the dock but when i open the lid it automatically switches to webtop mode, same thing use to happen every time when i tried on the tv a couple of days ago. i can enter hd multimedia entertainment and use clock widget but mirror hdmi seems to not work at all.
my main frustration is not being able to connect the tv. will i have to order a new cable just to see if it is the problem or my phone is acting up?

it's webtop mod, but its fully functionally. I have the same problem, after flash with these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169457 I don't have this problem anymore
After flashing zip with WebtopMod v1 you will be able to make Webtop the same like on my video

Nottachtrix. Its amazing, great battery life, extremely smooth and stable. Comes with 4 themes and multiple different kernel options (stock, faux123 w/ varying degrees of overclock), all installable from the aroma installer. Definitely the best in my opinion.

Nottachtrix.
laytveyit ??
well for the custom needs i'd say nottachtrix.
the aroma installer gives you many ways to customize the rom

yeah, it seem like a problem with the webtop partition itself rather than the rom as I am still having issues with laytveyit rebooting when I docked it. I am trying to reinstall the stock webtop (fixed 236-webtop.zip) but is having problem with it now.

Get the 236-webtop.zip, not the 'fixed'. It worked for me.

nottachtrix: nice rom, with the ICS theme plus Ubuntop, the best Atrix I ever had , just have a problem 600 mgs instead 1 gig of ram...applied ram fix to get 600 mgs
laytveyit: looks like a update modded rom, tried very fast, because I dont like the UI and the no account problem...went back to Notta.
Will go for CM7, but need to use lapdock a lot...so the only way I can use it is with a BLUR rom ., but what do you think of mirror the phone? and install Office ??? is a good option to go for?
I've gone for maxblur 5 over notcha as its still in current development so chance of fixes.
It is however supplied with a non customizable installer.

Okay, got nottachtrix installed alongside with the webtop and it is working well.
Next step is to figure out how to get nottachtrix to let me just mirror the android display rather than entering webtop every single times. I also need to figure out how to install chromium to webtop as i depends a lot on the google sync in the browser.
About the webtop thing, it seem like even if i select to mirror the display, the phone stubbornly boots into webtop as soon as i docks the phone into the lapdock.

As far as I know, what you're trying to get working won't work in whichever ROM you try, custom or otherwise. The phone is hardwired to boot webtop when it's docked, you can't select mirroring mode.
That said, there's the "misconnected" trick... You can plug the phone in such a way as that the HDMI connector is fully connected while the USB one isn't... This should get you access to mirroring... Ugly hack as it may be, lol.

Maybe you should read up on the subject. To my knowledge, there are many ROMs that do mirroring, semi-tablet mode and whatnot. None that does webtob though, except Moto's official, but that's not even the question here.
I do share the same issue with nottachtrix booting webtop when I click on mirror phone display... And I flashed and currently use ubuntop 1.10 and not the default 236 webtop nor the fixed one... The only solution I found to be acceptable is to make a dual-boot (actually, multi-boot as of now) setup atrix, with nottachtrix on internal sdcard and cm7 on external sdcard (plus cm9 plus nottachtrix on external sdcard in my current setup). I can switch ROM on the go WITHOUT CWM reflashing.
On one side, I can use webtop on my lapdock on nottachtrix. On the other side, I can boot back to cm7 to access that mirror phone display if I wanna play Android games or emulators on my lapdock (or HDTV, depending on my mood lol) with my sixaxis ps3 controller.
Hi all,
Not sure if anyone else getting this problem.
My youtube seems to be taking very long to buffer on HQ it plays a bit freezes and so fourth and this is on WiFi close to the router source. I'm running the normal 407 rom it worked before fine when I was on DSC but shouldn't the oellh rom be similar because it is basically stock?
I'm assuming there could be a fix within the build.prop but i'm not so smart as to know what to change/add and seeing that I don't know what i'm doing in there I don't wanna mess around. If anyone knows or has the same issue n knows of a fix it would be much appreciated.
Youtube app just sucks.. The videos on worldstarhiphop play better than youtube
Which is a shame!
