[Webtop]: Bluetooth crashes webtop. - Motorola Droid Bionic

I recently purchased an HDMI cable to use my Bionic with, and alongside it, I also have an Acer AK00LB bluetooth tablet keyboard that I purchased for my Android devices. I have used this keyboard with everything; it works perfectly with my computer and the base Android OS on the Bionic. However, when I pair and attempt to use it with the Webtop mode enabled, the entire phone crashes from anywhere to a few seconds to a minute of use. It doesn't do this unless the Bluetooth keyboard is connected and typed on. I don't know whether it's the custom ROM I have installed, a problem with the webtop itself, or the keyboard. Has anyone else run into this problem?
I am using:
An Acer AK00LB IconiaTab keyboard.
ROM: [R3]BLURR3D v2.0
The Webtop is base. I have not tried reflashing the webtop partition yet.
I am also using Webtop2SD and the appropriate 'ubuntu expansion' packages.
If someone can tell me where the webtop might store core dumps or log files, I can pull them off and post them.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

[Q] bluetooth keyboard help

hey guys I've been searching for a solution all day and I'm out of ideas.
my bluetooth keyboard came in the mail today and for some reason it refuses to work on cm9. the keyboard works perfectly with my netbook, my friends iphone, his ipad, and even booted into webOS but when I'm booted into cm9 nothing happens. I can successfully pair it and it says its connected in the settings but none of the buttons respond. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
edit: forgot to mention I also tried wiping and flashing a new rom. tried both cm9 alpha 2 and aokp m4. same problem on both.
I don't know if this will help, but I've got a Motorola BT keyboard that is designed for android that doesn't work directly with WebOS (or Windows for that matter). To get it to work with WebOS I have to press and hold the 'V', 'A' and 'R' keys when I turn it on.
Perhaps your keyboard has some similar way of selecting alternate platforms?

nope that doesn't work :[.
so I tried my friends bluetooth keyboard and it works great. It seems android 4.0.3 on touchpad seems to be partial to certain keyboards..
kimchiman52 nope that doesn't work :[.

So what keyboards are compatible with HP touchpad? I'm thinking of ordering one next week but don't want to waste the money on one that doesn't work.

[Q] Outputing Android OS at 1156x768 to Lapdock

I just got the $80 Droid Bionic Lapdock and it's working beautifully with my Droid 4 but Webtop leaves a bit to be desired.
What I really want to do is simple. I want to run CM9 and have the tablet UI show up when I dock the phone.
So far I've gotten Android to show up instead of Webtop by using my old Droid 3, however it was not output in the lapdock's native resolution due to the way the phone handles HDMI out. Obviously under normal circumstances you want both screens to be showing the same image but for this to work I need Android to be output at full res (1156x768)
Lets hack it to disable the built in screen and switch over entirely to the HDMI output but at native resolution. I will continue to work on my rooted phone and ICS Droid 3 but if anyone has done any more work please do share!
Not sure what I can contribute but I will gladly help and test on my end. I have an atrix lapdock working at the moment. I would love to either get a webtop2sd to work, or a full debian/ubuntu install running on the lapdock. Let me know if i can test anything.

Nook HD+ advice

Hey there. I have the Nook HD+ and was using Cyanogenmod 10.1 for a while. I very much enjoyed using it, but eventually ran into an issue I hope to get resolved someway. One of the main things I'd like to do with my tablet is use it for emulators and for that I'd like to use a wii remote. Now, the issue with that is, as some of you may know,wii remotes no longer connect to android as of 4.2 due to some bluetooth change. What I've found out is that the remote will sync to the standard Nook OS, due to it being 4.1 or whatever.
So I guess my question would be this. Is there a way to use cyanogenmod and still get the wiimote functionality in some form? Is it possible to dual boot or something along those lines? As in use the stock Nook OS for emulation and cyanogen for other uses. I'm not very experienced when it comes to working with phone ROMs and such. And when I did search for things about dual booting it was paired with heavy use of jargon and I couldn't make heads or tails of it. I'm really looking for options for things I could go about doing here.
Thanks for your time

If CM10.1 (android 4.1) works with the wii remote, could you not go back to using that? What was the issue you mention running into?
In the development forum there are builds of CM10.1 and the latest stock OS that can run off an sd card rather than installing to the device, so you can have a kind of dual boot situation where you just pop the sd card in when you want to use that operating system. That might work for your situation.

With the latest update ( 2.1.1 ), the stock Nook HD+ is ICS 4.0.4. Google broke Android's bluetooth support with Jellybean 4.2+, and CM and others are trying to fix it but with limited success. You can dual boot by running an alternate OS off of the SD Card. I run stock 2.1.1 from SD Card as per:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330083
With a supported 16/32GB SD Card you can have plenty of room for all kinds of roms for emulators.
However, I would rather not use the WiiMote for emulators. Rather, GameStop has a $9.99 bluetooth wireless controller for Android Tablets that purportedly still works with CM 10.1/2 and has analog sticks and all. I plan to get one of those, but they are sold out online and I just haven't made the trek to a GameStop that has them....
Gamestop no longer has those blu tooth controllers, but the gamestop red samurai
works very well...I just got one a few weeks ago. $ 19.99

Keyboard Bluetooth broken on MRA58R??

I'm on stock unrooted MRA58R and bluetooth, for the most part, works just fine. I have two audio devices paired and a pebble smartwatch, which all function flawlessly.
Recently, I tossed a bluetooth keyboard into the mix (make that two).
The two keyboards I've tried so far is the "Logitech Tablet Keyboard" and the Logitech K380 (which is brand new).
Both devices pair just fine, But they do NOT connect!
I've tried clearing data/cache for bluetooth share, rebooting, toggling airplane mode, toggling bluetooth, un-pairing and re-pairing, and both keyboards work fine on a kindle fire HD6(FireOS 5) and my old LG G3 (running 5.1.1 LP) as well as my windows 10 laptop.
Something is seriously wrong.
If someone could point me towards a log that i can pull which bluetooth errors dump to, i'll gladly provide it.
TL;DR: i've tried every trick in the book but my N6 still does not play nice with bluetooth keyboards.
EDIT: Here's my logcat capture when i attempted to connect the keyboard: http://pastebin.com/sr0i4PPk
SOLVED. by... well.. myself.
I COMPLETELY forgot that I was running a custom kernel until i saw this fly through my logcat:
Code:
11-16 22:57:14.456 9661 9821 E bt_btif : bta_hh_co_open: Error: failed to open uhid, err:No such file or directory
Which gave hint to a missing HID driver.
Downloaded a kernel that contained a compatible HID driver, and now it works like a charm. (Which happened to be Despair Kernel R38. Thanks bro!)
Side note: i'm unrooted because i like to use android pay, but still have a custom kernel for the added features and benefits over stock. As long as i keep SE Linux enforcing, android pay is a happy camper.

Any way to get android auto as a host on a tablet?

I have an android auto capable vehicle. I also have a tablet that I use for offroading. the tablet is not compatible with android auto. When plugged in to the car, the tablet recognizes that AA is there, and asks me to update, but the play store tells me it is not compatible. AA is now baked into Android, so the only store app that is available is AA for phone screens, which is now being updated to the new version which is like, AA lite. This is on a rooted Lenovo M10 FHD Plus, so roms are kinda out of the question as theyre not available and I wouldnt know where to start writing my own; but Magisk is installed along with busybox and xposed framework. Does anyone know how to either trick the tablet into running AA the same way that my phone does (natively, included in android) or have a solution for this?
Have your tried to use titanium backup (or some other apk extractor) to copy the AA apk from your phone to the tablet and see if it runs?

Not possible, I have no plans to root my phone. I sideloaded the apk though, and it does work as intended as "android auto for phone screens" what I'm trying to do is get it fully integrated as if it were a phone. My s21 ultra for example, doesn't even have an icon for android auto it's installed as a service (afaik) and is only found in my system settings.
What other differences are there between how the tablet runs AA and how it runs on your phone (besides that the tablet has an icon for AA)?
Im trying to make it so that the tablet, hooks up to the car and runs android auto on the cars screen. I don't think AA for phone screens supports host, though I could be wrong?

What do you mean by "host"?
If you can get the AA APK running on the tablet then it should work as expected (show on the car's screen).
So, what exactly is not happening?
Yeah, I didn't realize it would work that way. I ended up taking the harder route, rooted the tablet and installed a gsi rom. Works beautifully now.
Even with APK AA doesn't work in vehicle the same way it does with a phone. I made sure APK is the same version as car. No matter what I try, android auto will load on tablet but the vehicle will not recognize it and launch it on car screen. There must be a way to do this with a rooted tablet and AA APK. Anyone tinkered with this? I have a 2021 f-150 which even supports wireless AA from my phone.
@evilsway were you able to get this to work?
I guess Android Auto requires a device which is capable to make phone calls...
