Displaying 3D games with the HDMI cable facing upwards? - LG Thrill 4G

Is there any way to display 3D games with the HDMI cable facing upward? I am gonna get a 3D TV soon and would love it if the screen on my phone would be oriented so the HDMI cable wouldn't be near my left palm.
Thank you!

What? I suppose you could look for a right-angle adapter online.

I think the question involves the ability to rotate the device to the opposite landscape orientation. I know cyanogenmod allows any orientation, but the Self-KANG build doesn't support 3d yet. You may need to wait until a developer builds a ROM for our machine that allows any direction auto-orientation.
Some third-party launchers allow this functionality, but such would not give you that ability while playing a game. Have you tried flashing some of the custom ROMs that our dedicated hackers have been building in our Development forum?
Once you've tried a few and find one comfortable for you, try requesting full orientation functionality from the Dec that's building your favorite ROM.
If you are looking to get your feet wet with some ROM testing, I suggest Thrill Seeker. It's bugless as far as I have noticed, and it's more up to date than Thriller.
Good luck, and happy hacking!

As far as i am aware the games themselves pick the orientation...

[Q][N2E] Cyanogenmod 7

Is anyone working on a port of Cyanogenmod 7 for the N2E?
Good Question!!! Should go to general section.
I have not heard any one working on it yet. May be some one is doing something silently and will post one its ready for test. I do not expect to run to many apps on the Eink display. So the nooted version is good enough for me.
This would take a long time. CM7 is made for color devices, and even normal ports take some time. The devs would have to put off everything else and by the time we got one the World would be moving to to better and greater things.... but you're welcome to hope

Not true at all, this really wouldn't be that much different then a port for any other device. Android is not compiled to be "color specific" or even screen type specific for that matter. This is the reason you see wvga, qhd etc. Its really just dependent upon pixel density and this is just a build.prop modification to take care of that. But there would be other problems that would not be solved such as video due to obvious restrictions of e ink.

Well... I looked into it a while ago and found that there is a bit more to the eink display then what is in the asop kernel in cm7. There is a module that controls the eink refresh and dsp with the stock kernel and probably a few other things that are needed. I was partially successful mixing the kernel from stock with cm7 user space, however, obviously things were missing to the point it wouldn't come up far.
I am by no means an expert on cm7 though.
I have no plans to make a port. I don't even have a Nook touch.
Ditto.
(and... ten.)

[Q]What mods, roms, and OS's should I look into?

I will be getting a TouchPad in the next few days for around 100$, and I was wondering what kind of stuff I should look into if I just simply refuse to use it stock.
I have plenty of experience with Android Roms, and have done quite a number on my Nook Color, Milestone X (The non-Verizon Droid X), and my old HTC Hero.
But after browsing these forums and sub-forums a bit, I realized that there are just so many different choices when it comes to what your TouchPad is running.
I have seen Ubuntu and many different versions of linux, android, windows, and even just enhancing webOS.
What are the best choices and resources to get stared with? So I don't turn my new tablet into a cutting board.
LOL Cutting board...Nice
As far as Android is concerned we have CM9...which is pretty awesome...most nightlies are very stable...they have all the main mods and features....then we have AOKP, which is a kang on CM9 and we have other similar roms..most of them are kanged from CM9....There is ClassicNerd rom, which is not kanged from CM9, its faster but less features...
You can find most stuff related to Android or ubuntu dev here or rootzwiki...
WebOS enhancement can found here http://forums.webosnation.com/
Thanks, Viny.
Do you think you could point me in the direction of where I can get this "HP Doctor" thing explained?

Buddy, for all the tweaks and mods for Webos, read this guide it has links to webOS doctor and easy instructions on how to use it..
I'm pretty curious about the Touchpad too. They're not as cheap here in europe, but I found a 32GB model for 260 Euros. I've fallen in love with the glossy black surfaces already and I'm dying to get my hands on one.
Is it a good idea? I'm dying to try out WebOS but at the same time, wanting to experience Android on a tablet. So this sounds like a perfect device.
What functionality do I gain if I load CM9 onto it as well? Can I attach external storage devices or a mouse via USB?

with CM9/android, you get whole lot f functionality man. CM9/ICS on touchpad has most of the functionality except camera..and some audio issues...Once you go android, u might not go back to webos....
I highly recommend AOKP and ArchLinuxARM.

What's the difference between AOKP and CM 9? I've installed CM9 and I'm pretty amazed so far. Just the problem with the much, webcam, and some, sound issues but otherwise, I love it.

Insight on the Thrill

hey guys, I was hoping to get some help from some thrill users. I'm hoping I can get a little honesty here, I am doing research for a buddy on the thrill. I have checked out specs, and spec wise seems like a nice device. I just wanted some insight on state of this device, whether its a good purchase or not, i have found some nice deals on this device bare in mind im buying full price so i want to have a device that will have a little bit of longevity. here are some things i hope you guys can share some insight on:
reliability of device, hardware/software
development does it look good will there be ICS i didnt notice ics roms
any alarming things to know about the device before buying
known issues
i ask all this because the G2x for tmobile seems to be a nightmare, hoping this is a better device thanks for any help you guys can provide
I'm pretty happy with my Thrill, but I was disappointed in how long it took to get GB out for it. I'm not sure if we will ever see ICS. The camera is excellent, battery life is ok (I bought a 3500mAh battery and have to charge up nightly). The 3D is kind of a gimmick, but it does work well.
I found that it's much snappier with a custom ROM. I'm currently using Lestatious AcidHazard from the dev forum here. Both ADW and GoLauncher are much better than the default "LG Home" launcher.
Overall, not bad for my first Android phone. I upgraded from an iPhone 3GS and will never look back at Apple, but for my next one I may consider Samsung or HTC just because there seems to be a much larger developer community for their offerings.
Ill give you only my opinion based on my experience with this device. Can't speak for anyone else but I'm sure there might be some very diverse opinions about this device.
I feel the Thrill is the underdog in the current Gen of high powered devices. Kinda like if you perchased a low cost car because the price and function fit your needs. Then you discover it had a turbine engine that simply needed to be switched on and calibrated properly. Would be cool and fun although very unlikely. However the Thrill is often referred to as a sleeper. The hardwear is all there but the stock Rom is restrictive. With some patience and proper modification the Thrill is an awesome phone that can outperform many high priced phones and then some.
In most cases from what I have seen many people find a baseband they like, and a rom that works with the baseband, a few tweeks and bam nirvana. Currently the most common issues that I'm aware of are Ghost calls, Bluetooth instability and minor app bugs. We don't have a huge Dev team but the devs we got are darn good and have flat out showed us all what the Thrill is supposed to be.
If you have loaded any roms or rooted a phone then you will be capable of tweaking the Thrill as you like in about 1 day at the most. Do some further research on it first before you dive in so you are fully aware of what your getting in to.
Hope that helps
Its fast as ****. Its nice to the eyes, it sounds good while making calls for me at least.
What else do you need?

coming from the HTC sensation the 3d agreed is fun to play with but a gimic super fast and honestly if the right tweeks were given then the phone would be right behind the sgs2 easily if not keep up the LG 3d Max launcher is what I'm using but it is slower easy fix by getting a launcher from the market I recommend Adw or go launcher the dev work is amazing but slow and the optimus 3d is the exact same phone and is on the official list to receive ics according to popular results on Google but looking at things it'll be years end before we see official ics custom ROM will show up first and more than likely soon since the drop for LG phones supposedly is second and 3rd quarter once agin popular Google results reviled this for me over all I do not regret the switch and believe this phone Will peak at ics but will stay alive for probably another year to a year 1/2 stability is decent but be sure to update to gingerbread as the phone really seems to shine afterwards

While I'm here asking I hate to be such a noob guys but I don't know much about this phone wanna be careful not to brick it. From what I can understand I have to flash the gb update from LG before flashing gb roms correct? All I did was root the phone and installed a 2.2 Rom to get it going however I couldn't get data working its on a prepaid plan for 50 dollars a month everything else seems to be functioning ok. I wanna get all my ducks in a row for tomorrow when I get more time to get him updated to gb. Any roms that are recommended and or kernels. Cm7 or official update what's working better thanks for any help guys I'm not usually such a noob I'm just use to htcs with s off and such or Samsung's and Odin. LG is like a whole nother animal

Lg update tool worked fine no issues I recommend a stock 2.2 ROM before update then work from there you'll love this phone AFTER you update though to avoid future questions on why you have no signal use an optimus 3d ROM to avoid alot of issues good luck and enjoy

I shall do a bit more reading before I update to gingerbread tomorrow, this phone is actually for my buddy I'm running with an amaze but I'm helping him out so he has a great phone glad to hear its a awesome device once updated.

I actually love this phone. It is really fast and the battery life is decent. The camera takes awesome pics and videos. About a month ago I was almost fed up with the phone and the dev on it but after flashing the Mokee ROM I fell in love with the Thrill all over again. If I had to choose a phone right I would pry choose the Note over this but then again most people would.

Pretty much the same situation for me. Also upgraded from a 3GS and I think this phone is awesome and a great first android for me. For the most stability on gingerbread, in my opinion, would be v21e. I flashed the promethius rom and kernel on top of it and my thrill is amazing.

Is it me or is it slowing down

I haven't seen much on roms lately. All the one's out here aren't stable either. We only have a couple fully working roms and none of them are being update. If I get a new phone any suggestions on what it should be to take advantage of the most fully functional roms?
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA
I found Liberty ROM to be quite stable, and while I don't want to jinx it, I've been running Maverick 4.0 for a day or so and it seems great!
If the bootloader ever gets unlocked, it will open up more kernel dev options (for the genius' out there!) which could open up more/better ROM possibilities for us (fingers crossed).
I don't think I'll be upgrading to another phone until a new physical keyboard model comes out. And hopefully it's quad-core with at least a gig of RAM. (512mb on my XT860 has been killing me) ;D
Unfortunately I dont think the kernel will ever be unlocked on our phones... that's Motorola for you.

Sent from my DROID3 using XDA
Ever since they switched to the nightlies and stopped posting new beta's on here It slowed down, IMO.
I'm happy with Mavrom 4.0 I guess, but would've loved to see hashcode etc. focussing on getting video on ICS, rather than adding features etc. Other ROM makers could've tried that. Who cares about advanced settings when you can't even record a video?
Google is going to probably sell Motorola hardware section to Huawei and keep the core just as legal requirements. Also, they said they are not going to interfere with Motorola decisions on their products. Google only bought Motorola for their parents, nothing more, nothing less.
Rocking with my M3 and XDA app
Exactly ... but I don't want this to be a Motorola bash... even tho its easy to do... lol... so for now I would like to see a list of roms that are fully functional. I'm on liberty and I keep going back to that just because everything works... what other roms are in this category. And I agree that a extra features aren't important till a fully or close to fully completely working roms is in place. What's the point of all the bells and whistles if you can't even use the basic functions of a phone.. don't get me wrong now. I love trying new roms but it becomes a downer when you get one that has cool extras but you end up going back to a working rom for taking video or watching Netflix .... even if your on safestrap to go back to that functional rom. And the other question is if I change phones what would be a good phone to go to just for rom purposes ...
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2
The problem iswith the hardware codes and drivers. Every phone probably has this problem with ics. They add more features cause this is almost impossible. The attic has a really good developer support. I would definitely go back yo it if I could but I had nothing but problems with mine. Anyone know how to make a rom? I wanna get into it.

I assume you mean Atrix instead of attic?
The real issue to all of the problems is the bootloader. When you can customize the kernel to fit your rom you pretty much take care of any problems. Not to say there aren't roms with custom kernels that don't have issues .... there are but thats due to other things. Programming or incompatibly issues. All of our roms are franken roms held together by bungee cords and duct tape. The devs do a great job with what they have at hand so when time comes for them to build a rom on a phone with a unlocked bootloader, I don't blame them.. much more freedom and the ability to create awesome roms the way they want. All the stable roms we have are just built around the original with some cleaning up and a splash of color... I wonder what it feels like to know when you pick a rom no matter what it is and you know its going to work and the only reason you don't stick with it is because you don't like the way it looks or it doesn't have a extra you want... how sweet.

Yeah... it was good when i had my Desire Z. All kinds of roms for that thing!

[Q] Cm9 ~ Aokp Features

I recently flashed my P1000 with both Cm9 & AOKP Roms, after a quick installation of both Roms, i decided to AOKP rom as it seemed to offer more features and a secondary launcher which i found quite useful.
My question is in comparing the two roms, what are the main differences and features of each rom? Given that people are clearly fond of both.
I've that the Usb host Control apparently works using a Y cable in the Cm9 Rom,
I've read through AOKP rom thread where this feature is barely if even mentioned.
i am planning on getting a female converter next week to test this and am hoping i can stay on the AOKP rom but if not the Usb host feature might swing me.
Can someone spread some light on this thread please.
Since you are getting the cable anyway, why not you try and let us know if AOKP works with that.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
I sure will do that Though it does say on the 1st page of Cm9 USB HOST works with Y cable and nothing related to USB hosting in AOKP thread, though i read the kernels were merged, so as well as trying to find out if AOKP supports USB hosting, i am wanting to find out what features Cm9 has that AOKP doesnt and visa versa.
Yeah, the "secondary" features such as USB host and TV out are not tested/mentioned in AOKP.
We need more users to feedback.
As for direct features comparison, it is also hard. Each gas their tweaks.
But AOKP allow me to toggle off the navbar completely easily even in the middle of a game.
That is superb.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
I will be sure to add my feedback once tested, im hoping to to get a mouse and keyboard working on a Usb hub, but not sure if they can both be run at the same time, hopefully they can.
TV-out also brings up some interesting questions, as far as i know TV-out isnt working on the either builds, however i cant confirm that since i dont have a TV-out cable, and reading it doesn't work has made me somewhat reluctant to get one. Possibly someone else could confirm the workings of the TV-out as this is another feature which i am interested in.
The Tweaks part is also interesting as i understand each Rom has its little Tweaks which are hard to pin point, but that is somewhat what i am hoping to do with these questions.
AOKP rom control seems to have quite a few more options than the cm9 builds, I found the option to change music tracks via volume buttons was a really nice touch.. I would love a option for a LED torch as well but i dont think that feature is working in either builds.
I thought Humberos got HDMI Out working for CM9.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Tv out is working on Cm9, but sound is not working through the RCA cable.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks for replies ; It would seem Cm9 is offering secondary features such as
USB hosting & TV out and possibly a few others which are yet to be mentioned.
I am unaware if AOKP currently supports these secondary/hardware related features. I have read that the kernels were merged but am unaware if the merging has brought these features though, It would be awesome if they have been.
Regarding TV-Out on Cm9 ~ If it is working in Cm9 i assume you mean only the HDMI cable is working with sound and the RCA with video and no sound?
More like it works completely using HDMI pin out.
As for RCA cable only video.
Something like that.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
I take it the TV-Out feature is untested on AOKP but confirmed on Cm9 with pin out cable, As well as the Usb host.
These seem like 2 solid features cm9 is offering that AOKP currently isn't, hopefully the TV-out will be implemented into in the near coming future. I will update the status on USB hosting hopefully later this week.
Stimpz0r just announced AOKP #40
Tv-out working.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
That truly is awesome news Seems like all the features are being integrated Between the two.. thanks for the update..i will now reconsider getting a HDMI cable along with a USB converter.
UPDATE ~ ON USB HOSTING
Usb hosting is somewhat currently working on AOKP.
I currently have my Tab wired up to a Usb hub, where i can view my 8gb memory stick and mount it.. I am also able to pick up my Cannon camera, however i cannot mount it.
Keyboard and mouse are not detected, though i think to get this working i need to try a different wiring method.
Question ~ I would like to know if anyone has got a mouse and keyboard working on a Hub ? on AOKP or CM9 as i think its the hub which causes a issue in this area, meaning as i currently stand i need to get a different configured Y cable.
