Hello, I'm new here and this is my first thread so if it's not in the right place i apologize...
Firstly, I know nothing about developing and nothing about what a kernel does or anything like this, I just know how to flash things and read tutorials haha
Few questions for my LG p990 - 3 UK
I've looked around and haven't found anything about tethering that helps me, I'm wondering if there's a way of tethering with out being charged for this? I've got completely unlimited internet for my phone but i will get charged if i tether, Is there anyway to bypass this and use my 3G internet on a laptop?
Also about xbmc, I've used xbmc since the original xbox and actually still use my old xbmc xbox on a daily basis but using it for HD films obviously doesn't work, Now xbmc on the optimus is fairly stable but i unerstand that no one's got the tegra2 optimized to work with HD unless it's on the original ROM, Will this change soon or am i going to have to upgrade my phone (Running CM7 and love it and would hate to go back to standard ROM)
And... I've tried other kernels and they just don't work well with CM7 if atall! but i would like to be able to overclock my phone, It's powerful enough but more power is never a bad thing. Is there any very stable released kernels and ROMS that will allow me to overclock and be awesome?!
And the last thing... I read somewhere that S2 korean keyboard is apparently almost as good as the iphones and some mentioned backporting it to work on any android phone? First thing would it be in english? and would it be better than the jellybean keyboard i've got installed at the minute (tried every keyboard on the android market and this one beats them all!)
Thank you, And please go easy on me for being a pain... I'm only 19 and i'm more of a graphic designer and nowhere near a developer.
Hello!
I've stop using my Atrix since about 3 months ago, so I'm no longer in the game.
Any suggestions to what ROM should be used if one wanted to use XBMC only?
The phone will be constantly plugged in and will always have power. It would be great if the ROM supported video mirroring with hd playback and good decoding.
Any suggestions?
I've used it on both CM7 and CM10. Personally, I didn't notice a difference. I did not try playing anything as I've no media on my phone, but was able to load navi-x and stream stuff fine. It was slow, but I think that was due to it being in beta.
I'm not sure, but I don't remember seeing "Audio over HDMI" option in CM7... It's nice if you have a home theater and want sound coming from speaker system and not just the TV.
Edit: As a side note, it was a pain to work with the interface on such a small screen. Have you considered something like raspberry pi and selling/donating the Atrix?

well, I have considered selling it, but the digitizer has a dead stripe, so the phone doesn't really have any value. The raspberry pi is the next logical step if this doesn't work out!
When I retire my Atrix, I will most likely turn it into a pseudo laptop since I bought a lapdock. They're pretty cheap, have you considered that alternative?

I have a lapdock from the states, but I find it basically useless, since I haven't gotten swedish keyboard layout to work on it.

I have exactly the same scenario. I have an Atrix , unrooted, but the screen no longer works and its basically redundant. I have the smart dock and ideally would like too use it as a dedicated media player with xBMC and a remote, leaving it connected to my TV at all times.
Would appreciate it if you could share any success you have in setting this up.
Thanks!
any progress?
I'm thinking about doing the same thing with my atrix.
Have you had any success using yours as an xbmc machine or did you scrap it for a pi?
I would also like to make my atrix into a dedicated XBMC box. I have a HD dock and would like to use it with the remote. I attempted to install the newly released xbmc for android on a gingerbread rom (Neutrino). I got a message that xbmc is not compatible with my device. I assume that it can work with an ics or jb rom. It works on my galaxy nexus. Any suggestions on which one would have the best support for hdmi output and hd dock?
I have CM10 Epinter JB and xbmc works on my phone. I have to open my player first and then xbmc app.

Hi. Before you flame.. yes I have searched, but some of the threads here and in developers section get huge and it's like a needle in a haystack with all the acronyms and short hand used.
Looking for an Ice Cream Sandwich or Jellybean ROM to load to my Gtablet. The primary purpose for my Gtablet now has become as a DLNA streaming/Netflix device on my bedroom TV connected via the Dock and HDMI.
I am looking for a decent rom of the above version that support HDMI and the associated Audio output.
Thanks in advance for the help. Hoping those with the knowledge can help me cut through the clutter.
Cheers,
MK
Mine would not work with the dock until I flashed back to a froyo rom. I had forgotten how fast it could be after flashing up to dirty bean and getting frustrated with lagging and no dock video/audio capability. I'm now running Beastly Clemsyn Ultimate Froyo Combo a Notion Ink based rom. It is a 1.2 based rom but be sure to use a CW touch which restores the gtab image and partition 4098/0 then 2098/0 or you will fall into a bootloop as the latest CW touch changes partions for jellybean roms automatically to a partition size that will accommodate them. Skype also works.

Hi Everyone,
I'm going to be purchasing an Unlocked Atrix 4G with the Lapdock for it.
The Atrix 4G runs Android 2.3, but can run Icecream Sandwhich and Jellybean using a Custom ROM.
I have a few questions which I've been looking to solve for some time now.
1) Does the Lapdock have HDMI Out, or just the phone? (And does the lapdock disable HDMI out?)
2) Does the Lapdock work Custom ROMs? (It'd be nice to use it with Android 4, rather than 2.3). I'd prefer WebTop but Mirroring is okay.
3) Do custom ROMs support the Motorola Travel Adapter Kit (Micro HDMI to VGA adapter for projectors, supports Atrix 4G)
Thanks!

Any custom ROM with the 3.1.10 kernel does not have any HDMI access, and thus no mirroring as well.

I bought an atrix that is with the first version of android that came out with it, so it's pretty much useless, it came with a lapdock, and Im *trying* to use internet on it, and maybe playing games on emulators, but nothing works on android 2.3 ...
I would like to recommend ROMs that work 100% with lapdock (webtop)(or optimized for lapdock) as I will use it just for that
