[MOD] HDMI Landscape Mirroring

This mod allows for mirroring in landscape mode using the MirrorService.apk from Photon. Output is scaled up from the native resolution up to 1080p if your display supports it.
I am still in the process of trying to better package this so it will not wreck havok on existing installs. Any updates will be posted here.
Flashing this will likely result in problems for you, so be warned, it's not for the faint of heart.
-you must wipe data
-restoring apps with TiBu will likely not work
-could possibly break market installs / updates
-this will NOT work on CM7
-webtop will not be available over HDMI
Here's a link to the CWM flashable zip:
http://96.126.112.115/HDMI-landscape-0.1.zip
I have personally tested this with Aura Rom 1.2.2.2 Deblur, but I have no reason to believe it won't work on other blur based roms.
Standard disclaimers apply-- Not responsible for data loss or if your phone catches fire etc.
Update 11/16/2011: It seems like this can be more reliably included in a rom vs. being added later due to the nature of how the mirror service works. I have successfully modified a version of Aura to include this and have been running it with much fewer issues over the past few days.
Method 2: This is the exact process I have used most recently. It resigns your entire rom to avoid any signature mismatch related issues.
You will need:
Apk Manager
A copy of your ROM zip file
a program to modify the contents of the zip (WinRAR, 7zip, etc.)
HDMI-landscape-FilesOnly-Atrix.zip containing all the files needed to get mirroring working
Instructions:
1. Extract Apk Manager to a folder somewhere
2. Extract all the apks from your ROM (/system/app for most, Aura has these in /debloat/app), be sure to include /system/framework/framework-res.apk and the provided MirrorService.apk, to the "place-apk-here-for-signing" folder where you extracted Apk Manager.
3. Delete all the apk's in the "place-apk-here-for-signing" folder that should not be resigned. (Music.apk, Maps.apk, Superuser.apk, Gmail.apk, Youtube.apk, etc)
4. run Script.bat in the Apk Manager folder and run option 16.
5. Drag all the apks you just re-signed back inside your ROM zip file to overwrite the existing files. (don't forget that framework-res.apk needs to go in the /system/framework folder)
6. Copy the remaining needed files inside the HDMI-landscape-FilesOnly-Atrix.zip to their corresponding location in your ROM zip. /system/lib/ & /system/framework need the following files:
/system/framework/com.motorola.android.iextdispservice.jar
/system/framework/com.motorola.android.imirrorservice.jar
/system/framework/com.motorola.android.inativehdmiapis_v1.jar
/system/lib/libmirrrorjni.so
/system/lib/hw/overlay.tegra.so
7. You can now flash your modified ROM image!
This method will leave you with a working Webtop if your ROM already included the option to allow webtop over HDMI.
Be warned, using the webtop will very likely cause the mirroring to malfunction until you reboot your phone. As long as you don't use the webtop in a given boot, the mirroring works great.

Will you post your version of Aura with the mirroring enabled? or will you wait for diviance to update aura?

I have PM'd Diviance, still waiting to hear back. Didn't want to put anything out there without permission. Nottach has it in the latest DarkSide rom.

is it the completely debloat edition? if so, can you PM it to me as well? i personally don't like dark themes ROMs, as awesome as Darkside is.

@starwarrior,
Great job, first of all!
Did you (or anyone else) find some of the instability included not being able to install specific apps, or move apps to sd without hot reboots?
Just curious to see what your experience has been. If not, please let me know what ROM and process you used exactly.
Thanks.

great job mate, just wondering if webtop over hdmi still works with your modified apk? i read the other thread a bit but didnt really find a conclusive answer. thanks

Nice finding Starrwarrior! Just CWM flashed hdmi-landscape.0.1.zip on my atrix and still can't believe HDMI landscape mirroring works Even if it's at a lower res than 720p You just made my cellphone one hell of a of awesome purchase !
Since I got a day off today, I'll try the resigning method on the alienv4 rom and hope that in the end, webtop over HDMI, HDMI landscape mirroring, webtop2sd AND weptopscripts can all coexist on atrix with this rom.
One question though: do you mind if you list every apk (except for Music.apk, Maps.apk, Superuser.apk, Gmail.apk, Youtube.apk) you excluded from resigning please ? Even though it's from a different rom, I am taking a shot through the dark here lol.

Those are the only Google Apps that I know of that generally get updated. As a rule of thumb, if it is updated via the market it would be a bad idea to re-sign it. Worst case scenario you can just adb push the original one back to your phone from your ROM's zip.

Totally awesome Starrwarrior!!!
Will try Method 2 on the first chance I have!
Cheers!
Rayan

Thanks for the feedback starrwarrior. Although I went ahead before looking at your post and avoided resigning MOST of the apks except the blur ones lol...
I can now confirm that modding alienv4 with your second method makes webtop over HDMI, HDMI landscape mirroring, webtop2sd and webtopscripts work altogether on my Bell Atrix (after fixing the RAM issue, but for me I had it only happen on the stock ATT gingerbread and the alienv4 rom; it didn't happen on CM7 BaT2). As long as webtop wasn't booted before using HDMI mirroring, it's smooth sailing for me.
(edited after further playing with modded alienv4 rom)
I realized I broke google market (no big deal, just reflashed old version of gapps) and every blur-related app (maybe a big deal because of the following sentence -_-)
I also broke ringtones/notifications (in settings --> sounds, phone doesn't detect ANYTHING and I can't assign ANY ringtones/notifications; I even tried RingDroid and Ring Commander and I get a FC every time...)
I'll admit I just blindly followed the 2nd method though.
(edited again after redoing starrwarrior second method of rom editing of alienv4)
I just ONLY EXCLUDED resigning gmail.apk, maps.apk, superuser.apk and youtube.apk. I resigned the rest of the apk in the alienv4 rom.
Now I have ringtones back and I can finally reassign them. Webtop over HDMI, webtop2sd, webtopscripts AND HDMI landscape mirroring (still at a lower res than 720p though) still work althogether. I'll play with this modified rom for a while and reediting my post after a few more days.
If all's well, I'll try to PM kennethpenn afterwards, even though I read that he doesn't have the time to support this rom anymore

You are the Atrix HDMI mirror GOD!

Is there any chance that this mod will be applicable to a stock ROM (preferably without completely wiping it) at some point or is it looking like this is pretty much what you will have to do?

S*** just got REAL!

I owe this Guy a drink for sure! Now is there any way to implement this in cm7?
Runnin' CM7 thirsty for ICS so I got the bootleg

awesome work, keep it up!
Would be rad to see an all in one .zip to flash cheers man really appreciate the effort.

Incredible
Tried method 2 with Pi Crust .8 once, in a bit of a time crunch, but no go. Guessing didn't take all the correct app files out of /system/apps/. Took out one's in OP and couple more I thought fit the bill. I'll give it another shot soon before I set up my webtop.
Backed up and had darkside running just to smile and show the fellow co-working, android heads today. Thanks again for revamping the Atrix once more! I'll post Pi Crust if I get it working I suppose. Navalynt posted in it's OP that he kinda made it for stuff like this (though I'll double check and webtop/FP scanner always has worked well for me on it.

It just me or this awsome mod had a little downside: resourses consuming. It seems it slowdown phone a little. Specially poaying games. Play is good but not as fluid than playing only on the phone...
Thats strange, tho, since photon have the same HW. Maybe a ROM optimization issue?

@ nelsonw
I played around with my modded alienv4 rom for the weekend. On my atrix, I didn't notice any slowdown while playing on fpse nor n64 with ps3 controller connected on bluetooth. That's with HDMI mirroring. On webtop, it lags a bit but it's not unbearable, even with a firefox window open at gamefaqs.com lol. I wish I had a photon for testing purposes.

@ starrwarrior
I got a potentially huge issue on webtop since I applied the mod. On my modded alienv4 rom, I can use my ps3 bluetooth keypad on the android view window BUT NOT OUTSIDE of it. I can't type in any app in ubuntu with the bluetooth keyboard BUT I can still use the onscreen keyboard and trackpad on the atrix... how weird... It's as if I never activated bluetooth keyboard in webtop. Does this happen to you too on any bluetooth keyboard or mouse? If you're not using webtop, never mind the question lol.

Any FM recorder app ?

Am really new in forums..and am pretty much addicted already
I need an app That can Record
songs from the FM
Really need it
& thanks in advance :E
~Rik(Rittik)

Bro I already searched for it extensively I even contacted the developer of spirit FM radio app and according to him
Till date no such application is able to do so (of course omnia's stock FM app is an exception ) he also added that much of the process is at hardware level
FM app bypasses all equilizer app (in 2.3+) so other recording apps are helpless
so I guess we have to wait until someone figure it out

Dam...Its so bad..oldage phones have such apps..and our droids doesnt -.-

If you want to test a Java app on Droid then install Java emulator and try it
But as I said earlier most of thing is at hardware level so it might not work
You might consider requesting chainfire he is pretty good Dev (at hardware level also remember cf3d ) or Mike(spirit app) he is the first Dev who was able to make a radio app

[selfkang] cm7.2

Hey folks,
Since no one else has done so, I just checkout CM7 sources from GitHub and made a fresh build. It seems to be working pretty well on my VZW Droid3, except for the camera which doesn't work at all. Anyway, I thought I'd share in case anyone else wants to test.
It's just stock CM7.2 + Hashcode, if you want other tweaks like OC you'll have to port them from other roms. I'd like to get the camera working but don't expect much as I don't have a lot of free time.

Thanks! Nice to see attention on CM 7.2 again, especially with the old build's links down. Have there been any changes/updates since the Hash build last year (August?)?

I'm assuming you tried the CM9 camera fix on CM7? Seems overly obvious, but I love CM7 on my DX and that's why I'm using it as my DD over the D3.

Very nice!
Can't download now, but someone test to see if a 3rd party camera app works. That was the case in the last version of CM7 I used on the D3, stock camera didn't work but others did (Camera Zoom FX for example).

I'll be flashing this ROM fairly soon (soon as in, tonight) and I'll give a third party camera app a try. I'll get back to you as to the results.
UPDATE 1: Just tried a third party camera app, no dice. Same black screen as the stock camera.
UPDATE 2: Notification LED is stuck on. Poking around the settings to see if I can get it to turn off...

same as Hashcode CM7.2 ver
- no 3G data in GSM
- no possible to save new APN
+ The camera360 app. functioning perfectly

This patch here did the trick:
GSM Patch:
http://www.2shared.com/file/ilFRwlr1/GSM_PATCH_1116_WithData.html
It's basically the GSM patch from an older thread about CM7. It works fine for 3G and calling and whatnot, and I haven't seen anything go horribly wrong with it. Obviously, I'll report back if anything does.
And my previous statement about a 3rd party app not working, I have to retract that statement, I just installed FxCamera and it works just fine. Barcode scanner seems to be in working order too.
Still testing, will report back if I encounter any other bugs.
UPDATE: Front Facing Camera definitely doesn't work. Same deal as on CM9 before, it comes up with nothing but static.

it isn't, (first thing i tried that patch)

Well, that's the patch that I used and it's working, but I did have to manually add the APNs in order to get 3G.
EDIT: I just read your signature properly. My phone is an XT862 and yours being an XT860 is probably why the patch isn't working for you. The two phones are somewhat different, but only in really subtle ways. I always hear about GSM patches being incompatible between the two. The patch that I linked seems to be for the XT862 and wont work with the XT860.

thanks for your reply probably you right
the main issue is when try to add new APN, normaley the MCC & MNC values are there, but If they are not (like in that case) it is useless because the APN ​​will not be saved.

I'd love to CM7 running on this phone. Have you tried this fix posted for the DX? I currently run CM 7.1.0 on my DX and it's perfect... But it doesn't have a FFC to figure out.

Well, if anyone could possibly tell me where to start, I could probably look into the whole FFC issue, see if there was anything I could possibly do (with my limited knowledge).

you actually cant add/edit any apn information since it wont save or even seem to read/load values from the apns-conf.xml unless the sim card is recognized/working. it looks alot like the same problem we xt860 owners had on ics, once the sim card was recognized (thanks to rick2) everything worked.

A Stock FM radio app for Nokia 8 (Unrooted)

Hi all,
Does anyone have a stock FM radio app that will work on new Nokia 8 (Unrooted)
I really miss FM radio,
I don't want to use those wifi/data using streaming radio apps
Thanks,
Torpode...

Hello. As Nokia 8 has S835 it might be possible to hear FM radio by using the Next Radio App. Have you tried this app?
I am waiting my ordered Nokia 8 to ship next week and FM radio is also very important for me.

Hey Asikis !
Unfortunately whenever i tried to search the Next Radio app, it is not visible, when i search on browser from my laptop from my google account, it says This app is incompatible with all of your devices.
I've installed it and tried it, gives the same message.
Im from London, UK.
I think this app is mainly supported in US region. (i may be wrong)
Thats why i was looking for any stock FM Radio app.
I have an Xperia ZR phone. (that was the last phone, after which i have Nokia 8 )
It has a Stock FM radio App, i tried to get that app via ShareiT app, but in ShareiT app, it is not visible for sharing.
so... im still left without FM on my new Nokia 8.
Surprisingly, Nokia 3, 5, and 6 has FM radio. I was wondering if extracting the FM app from those phone's ROM will be of any help.
anyways
Thanks for your reply.

Hi TorpodeBaas. That was also what I was planning to do with my Nokia 8. Side-load the next radio app to the device, install it and test it. But you wrote that you already did this and it didn't work.....right? Did you play with the settings for the region inside the application?
I guess Nokia has probably switched OFF the FM radio functionality. The same situation with Snapdragon 835 and 820 chipsets was true also in US for models like S8 and older S7 etc. But Samsung gave an update and unlocked the functionality and made it working with the next radio app (Samsung didn't provide its own home made FM radio app with that update).
So we can only hope for Nokia to make this working at the future. I haven't received my Nokia 8 yet. And now I have started considering to drop it for a NOKIA 6 or an LG G6....FM radio is a MUST for me.
Need to think wise

Hmm. Can you alternative download it from sites like apkmonk or apksum? I cannot copy links here, I am not yet allowed.
and then transfer it via USB to phone and install it? But first un-install existing version from your device.
Maybe it makes some difference?

If you select another European country, e.g. Germany or Italy, will the app continue and let you tune manually to a frequency? Or even in that case you get the screen that device is not compatible?
I remember when I installed last year the Next Radio app (via side loading) to my HTC A9 (that has FM radio built in but its own app was crap) it also asked me to select my country. Greece was not available so I selected Italy or Germany or something like this. Maybe I selected USA, do not recall now. After that step I was able to manually tune to a frequency e.g. 100. The only issue I had was that if I wanted to tune to 101,8 it was not possible as the app only accepted odd number after comma e.g. 101,7. So i tuned to 101,7 and then press the arrow to go to 101,8 and was working like this fine.
Can you try again and provide your test results?

Damn Nokia then. We cannot do anything, at this time. Nokia or Next Radio (?) has to do something to make it work.....
I have also contacted Next Radio company asking them if app is compatible with Nokia 8 and they have replied the following:
Nokia 8 is not listed to our compatible devices list. You can always check our supported device page here http://nextradioapp.com/supported-devices/
So we cannot do anything at this point... Its a shame that Nokia has removed this option from Nokia 8......Maybe we can bomb their Facebook page with this request

Damn Nokia then. We cannot do anything, at this time. Nokia or Next Radio (?) has to do something to make it work.....
I have also contacted Next Radio company asking them if app is compatible with Nokia 8 and they have replied the following:

I've started on twitter
https://twitter.com/totobhuto/status/913006211141963776

I got a tweet from a person stating that he is going to buy the Nokia 128GB version and it has FM
https://twitter.com/Hinuk_Mattila/status/914566817955373056.
I've asked that person if thats true, so far i haven't got any reply from him

From his statement I understand that he also wishes he gets FM radio function. Not that the 128GB has FM radio.

Have you got any response in your tweet from HMD or anybody else? I have it sitting in the sealed box and only reason if the lack of FM radio....

Hi Asikis13,
Unfortunately no,
i haven't received any reply from not even HMD and not even the Twitter guy.
I even created a new thread in Nokia 8 community forum (via the Nokia Support app)

Hmmm...ok. Another thing was thinking is if we can find the NOKIA 6-5-3 stock FM radio app .apk and install it in NOKIA 8 to test.
Any idea where to find it?

Thats exactly what i am doing !!! trying to find the Nokia 3,5 or 6 ROM/Firmware from somewhere,
so that i can extract the FM radio app from it.
Or if someone has that, can someone get it out via using ShareIt app?
I tried to do the same with my Xperia ZR phone- share the Stock FM radio app. But in ShareIt it wasn't visible
i'll keep you posted, in case im able to get FM app out of Nokia 3,5, or 6

i've created a thread in Nokia 6 forums, asking anyone if can share with me their Stock FM app
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/help/share-nokia-6-fm-radio-app-please-t3686224
keeping my fingers crossed

Improved stock Gallery

Hey all. For anyone that hasn't already done so, the gallery app from the V40 (I'm guessing) is compatible with our devices. Personally feel it's a big improvement over the original.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/lgele...-release/gallery-7-0-45-android-apk-download/
Edit: I've also updated the stock camera and quick memo apps using the current ones on apk mirror and they work well. Mileage may vary on all of this as I'm running a bunch of magisk modules (anxious by whiskeyomega for example which already mods the camera) so that's why I'm not giving a feature run down of each since it may differ on stock devices.

Just tried that one out myself and same result as you had. fc. Tried a couple different things and still no go. Sorry to say.

I've installed the latest version of gallery app and I can't change wallpapers after that. Is there any solution about that?

How are you trying to change it? Settings > display> wallpaper seems to work fine still.

That's the same camera version in my module, Whiskeyomega (not tagging to not bother them) was just where the needed code for the dual speaker and DAC code was from.
Warning for others: Anyways you should always be weary of updating OEM apps via regular install methods (outside of the Play Store) as they aren't always uninstallable via regular methods. And you'll have to delete the data/app/*app name* folder in twrp if you ever end up with a non boot or something.
Also if you ever do want the updated versions from newer phones just download roms, kdz, dumps and extract what you want. You can get newer stuff sooner.

Very good point. I made the mistake of assuming everyone has a recent backup....
Just now I almost had to restore my phone thanks to some apks that I wanted to try out. So please don't be a guinea pig with this kind of thing unless you know you can revert back to a working version if the worst happens. (For reference I tried updating system ui, network, and settings packages that were all just posted recently and ended up uninstalling those due to system ui loop and then subsequent crashes)
That being said, the gallery app seems like a pretty safe update across the devices but everyone's risk is their own to take.

A bit of offtopic - as i browse apkmirror's LG software (https://www.apkmirror.com/uploads/?q=lgelectronics) i can see that there is for example newer version of FM radio. Did anyone try it on V30? How do i know for what phone is this version?

Did not work for me, even when tried as a system app. If you want the FM radio app, I am fairly certain the one ported from verizon in the LG v20 forum works fine.

Thanks! Yeah this version looks better

From the same page I updated my LG Home and Music. I do like the UI improvements on those apps. But I realize those are draining my battery! The screenshot below shows what I'm talking about.
Is there a reason why newer version demands more battery?

no even the original stock Luancher have the same problem, lg need to copy from samsung and change the UI

Yesterday I've updated the gallery, the calendar, quick memo+ and the weather app.
In calendar and quick memo+ I didn't find changes but the gallery is much better and also the weather app is very nice.
Screenshot of the old weather app:

You can uninstall an OEM app that you tried to install but didn't work. Just go to Apps & notifications/App info/ then choose your app. If your OEM app doesn't have the uninstall option, look at the top right for the three dot menu, then select uninstall updates. Now your back to where you started.

It works, but not with default theme.
I was able to install almost all updates except FM and I have stock LG V30+ Oreo
NOTE: Don't update system UI, I did it and lost navigation bar and notification bar.
Also if anyone get's into any issue or fc, simply go to apps and from top right three dot menu, select uninstall updates. you should be good to go after that.

Did you install the lg home latest version successfully?

Since yesterday the weather app is crashing when I leave it. I don't know why, nothing has changed but I think is for an update of google play service. It's only my thinking not sure about it.
Anyone with an idea ?

Yes. Did not find any change though. Anyways I use Ruthless pixel launcher.
And checked camera after this update. Loving it every bit. Has new Google Lens and it could be a placebo but I feel the picture quality has improved and so is the front cam quality.
