Connecting mouse to SGS2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I read some threads about OTG Cable, so I got one, too. Pendrives are running fine but mo keyboard or mouse. Although if I connect mouse it lights but no cursor and no action. I run 2.3.6 GB XWKL1 (DDKL1 Kernel) stock. Is there any chance to get a patch or judt drivers to meake it work? I don't really like to use MOD's..

This is a problem with the stock kernel. You need to install a custom kernel like Siyah to get keyboard/mouse/gamepad support over USB.
I also suggest you update to official 4.1.2 while you're at it, since there's not much of a reason you'd want to stay on 2.3 anymore.

There is a reason! 3 days of battery life instead of less than 20hrs of my usage. And 2.3.6 is much clearer. I didn't hear ever that upgrade to 4.1 gave a good reason to upgrade and drain battery like hell for nothing. Functionality came out of apps not stupid battery-draining stuff.

You can't with 2x.

That's interesting because when I had Galaxy Ace which runs GB 2.3.6 it worked with any keyboard and mouse I did connect.

That's funny because it doesn't work with this phone

I had 5839i and I could use mouse at least

*cough*
Ahem.
Stay with GB, don't have a working mouse. Nobody here cares. BTW, thanks for the laugh in that thread you made demanding someone build you a GB kernel with this functionality. That was the funniest thing I've read on here in ages.

Well, well, well... To all that said GB don't have USB drivres for keyboard and mouse: I just connected tablet keyboard to my SGS2 and it freakin' works! It is one of those came with tablet flip cover.

Using checkrom v6 and siyah 2.6.9 using a Bluetooth razer orochi mouse, and a USB keyboard through the org adapter.

[Q] ics tv out

hey guys, ive done alot of searching and yet to find a rom with MHL working =[ i was gonna dual boot GB with siyah... then rad about the whole kernel thing! im planning to cut down one rom for business fast/long battery etc, and a second rom for power and lots of apps etc
i spent like 10 quid on a MHL really want it to work without going back to GB save me lol!
MHL works fine on official ICS ROMs.
For most people it does work, me included. But if it really means that much, why don't you just go back to GB (I know you said you didn't want to but there isn't many options here).

CM10 Jellybean, lapdock webtop and epinter's fantastic CM10

Hi all, i havent bit the bullet yet with this rooting game as the atrix as been plenty fast enough for me box standard, but since getting the lapdock and finding it so painfully slow that I wont use it, I started googling my options, so here i am as it seems that rooting is the answer!
Ive been reading about Jellybean and it sounds like its been designed to work with accessories like the lapdock, that lead me to read the thread about the CM10 rom that epinter is building which sounds brilliant.
I cant ask the Q on that thread because im a noob so can someone tell me if epinters cm10 works with the lapdock or would i need to add things.
thanks
Joe
Epinter's CM10 work with lapdock, but just simple HDMI output, the webtop app isn't work.
only portraite mod

yes and hdmi output doesn t work landspece mod or i didn t find yet
Thanks for the replies guys but just to clarify, your both saying -
The lapdock works?
Well of course it works, however much like CM9 it's only going to mirror the video output from the phone right now. However the auto tablet switch is still broken (from what it sounds like, I'm not on CM10 yet.) and Moto's WebTop is obviously still broken as well.
Personally I'm waiting for a version of Paranoid Android based on CM10. Maybe when that hits I can finally switch modes without having to reboot.

I think i could live with that as the browser on the lapdock is only useable if i use it through the phone rather than its own firefox.
So i would just be losing out on screen resolution.
Does JB still have the bug where on the lapdock you get 10 FPS and on the phone its nice and smooth?
Actually I'm getting decent FPS with Paranoid Android. It's still not great but it's WAY better than it was. The start screen for Need for Speed: Shift and it's pretty good. Galaxy on Fire 2 THD works like I expect it to as well. My guess is that it's been fixed in Joker's latest CM9's and yeah CM10 as well.
I doubt it will be perfect until Moto releases ICS officially though (and hopefully they can use something out of that to help with CM10 too).
do the cm 9 ports have hdmi output

I doubt my lapdock would work if they didn't. Also I've tried the cable with a DVI adapter and that works fine, so yeah.
If you meant CM10, I have no clue yet but I'm getting tired of waiting for a CM10 based parandroid (which is what I'm going to call it for short from now on, because I think it's clever).
I've flashed cm10 and will give my lapdock a try when its charged. The is some mention of changes today but I haven't read the change log.

I just flashed it, didn't even bother with the new gapps yet though. Came over from Parandorid 1.6 and all I did was wiped the caches.
So far no issues but I absolutely HATE the app picker. It was much easier with ICS where you picked it and checked always use if you wanted to. Now you have to pick it and select either just once or always (so two taps instead of one).
Loud sound lapdock
On [ROM] CM10 (JellyBean) for Atrix - 20120729 very loud lapdock sound in mirror mode. What I can do on it?
What do you mean loud? It functions normally for me. Maybe turn down the volume? Sorry you're going to need to be more specific as to what the problem is.

Very loud minimum volume (level 1).
I tried with both the phone speaker and the stereo system I plug it into and I could not replicate the issue on my end, sorry.
You did check all the volume levels right?
Posting a logcat might help someone. I'd mention the issue in the main thread.

So just to make it clear. You dont have webtop with the flashed rom?
Is there an ICS ROM with working webtop yet?
I only use the Atrix with the lapdock in GB. Is there an ICS ROM with proper support or do I have to wait for the official ICS?
NO ONE has webtop with JB, let alone ICS. If they do they're *******s for hiding it from the rest of us.
The devs are working on it. Official ICS *SHOULD* bring it when it hits (if it hits, which I'm sure it's going to it's just taking forever).
What I'd really like to see is companies release all the source code for their "dead" devices. But it will probably be a cold day on Mercury when that happens.
I don't even have a webtop like interface either, nor will I until paranoid android comes out with a modified CM10 of their own. My hope is then that I can switch DPI without having to reboot.

Is any 4.x ROM be compatible with artix's dock?

I have an artix with ginger 2.3.5. I am thinking of upgrading to the 4.x, ics or jellybean.
One problem that I worry about my artix's dock. If I succeed to upgrade it, will the dock be useless?
My question is,, can any 4.x ROM be compatible with artix's dock?
Any suggestion will be appreciated!

I want to do this as well. If anyone know please share the info. I don't care if it's webtop or just tablet version ICS.
Paranoid Android has a hybrid tablet mode where you can chose some apps to display in tablet mode.
I used it for a while with my lapdock, I installed dolphin browser to use in tablet mode with lapsock.
Not great but workable.
I have however switched back to maxblur 5 with Ubuntop as I needed more functionality.

Is "Paranoid Android" a ROM? I am new. Please forgive my uninitiation.
If I install paranoid android into my mb860, and then I connect the cell phone to the dock, can the cell phone's screen project to the dock's screen?

That's the idea.
Short answer: Currently, no.
Webtop/dock requires Blur in order to work, or so the devs say. Since there's no official ICS rom, there's no blur and Webtop. I believe a DEV was able to slap together a standalone Webtop which could go as far as launching from a CM7 Rom, but it was a WIP and was dropped, mostly a proof-of-concept. Also, I don't have a link ready.
Also, mortorola is rumoured to drop Webtop functionality in ICS/JB, so I'm afraid you're out of luck.
Stick to GB if you want dock functionality, I'm afraid.

[Q] What rom works with Sixaxis and has HML support too?

Hello everyone
I own a SGS2 (International version) and I'm due for an upgrade so I want to turn my SGS2 into a gaming platform where I can plug my SGS2 into a HDTV and play games with a PS3 DS3 controller. The rom on the phone at the moment is Resurrection Remix JB 3.1.3 with Siyah-s2 v5.0.1 kernel, I love this setup but it does not support MHL but the Sixaxis programe works. Now I know that a stock rom supports MHL but not the Sixaxis program because of the Bluetooth stack So what I would like to know is there a rom that supports MHL and the Sixaxis program and if so what it is?
Thank you for your time

If it worked for me on Gingerbread, and works for this guy on the JB leak, I cannot fathom it not working on ICS.
I'll still try it when I get home, but I'm just sayin'.
