Database Develop

HDMI Out / Dock

Does anyone know if the dock support mirroring now that we're on honeycomb? I know it didn't prior to the upgrade. I'd love to know. If not, what does it support, and would it be possible for any developer to write a video driver that would at least allow switching to hdmi (I have a broken screen, but still use my streak a lot with bluetooth keyboard/mouse).

51 views and no replies? Does anyone have the HDMI dock? It appears that the net has not 1 single review of the HDMI dock after the recent OS upgrade.

HDMI Works
Definitely works. Game emulators look awsome at 46inches.

I'm using honeystreak r8 and just got a dock and get nothing? It charges and triggers "dock mode" my monitor has input sense & see something at the end of the cable (tried 2 different ones does this need a "data hdmi"?) but no hdmi from any app (stage. cam. various vid players, no dell sync) no usb, not even a failed usb install, any ideas on how to fix this?

I am running the same (r8). My docks hdmi works fine. Perhaps trying another TV or monitor will work. I use 2 different tv's and cables and I have not had that issue.

Looks like the connection to the dock was/is iffy I assumed the "doink" meant it was good to go, but then noticed it was "connected" but not charging.I've been testing with a video from the camera choosing "video" as the player but don't get any hdmi popup (should I) and I can tell it's getting something cause the resolution changes on the tv but no vid?

It just connects, there is no toast message or such.

I am on cm10.1 and am mirroring just fine on my 52" Samsung with full screen. If you aren't getting video and or charging? Its something wrong with your pdmi port when you dock the streak. Broken pin? Something in either side of the connection?

Is mirroring native on 10.1 or are you running an app to do it?

I dock and it it displays on the tv after a few seconds

I dunno the details of the kernel history development, but I spent very little time on honeycomb. Have used Giveen roms all along and the feature has always worked from ics betas up through the jellybean work

Do you have a link for giveen roms? I've tried cm-10.1/vm-9/honeystreaks and have yet to find one where everything works..

Dude.... this device never had source code released and the strives that have been made in development are incredible considering the low number of knowledgeable people doing all the work from scratch.
I suggest you go buy a newer device with a wider range of development. Otherwise try to contribute to the streak development rather than complain that you can't find a perfect fit for your needs.
Stick withhoneycomb if you can't cope with certain variables and bugs. My dock worked on honeycomb for charging and hdmi output.
I don't mean to sound like a dyck, but you don't realize how you sound expecting everything to work perfectly and I have been following the progress of the development and offering help where I can from using and providing user feedback. It's not like I have made any type of major contribution, but I know the geniuses toiling over code for hours on end to resolve issues and bugs and sharing their work for the benefit of us don't appreciate comments that come across as whining or being ungrateful.... just try to hear yourself, my 2 cents
Giveens work can be found here and on tabletroms.com
Good luck

Well excuse me, I'm the kind of dyck who likes my s h i t to actually work, sorry if I didn't sacrifice enough blood and sweat over the "streak" , considering I'd never heard of it till last week,and never would have if my carrier wasn't dumping cmda for gsm. But next time I'll be sure and check with you before I post in an existing thread on the exact issue I'm try to fix, I have to take a dump now if that's ok with you??

Dude, relax
You say you are running honeystreak, which has been dead for quite a while and had its set of quirks. It is a custom ROM. You are wanting everything to work? = you want stock!!!
Go rock honeycomb. You own a device that officially lost support from the manufacturer in 2011. End of story.
You could even go back to froyo and have a "fully functioning ROM". Read some stuff, then read more. And start off with the XDA rules... learn the appropriate place to ask your question (this thread is not relevant to development and/or particular to an actively developed ROM)
Mods: please lock this thread.
Scottfree1: your question has been answered. Sorry if you are butt hurt, it was not my intention to upset ya. I hope dropping that deuce helped out a bit.
Dock works fine for users on stock honeycomb. Good luck

Sorry didn't mean to get so bent, it was three in the morning and I was frustrated, turns out it was the pdmi connector which seems to be dissolving before my very eyes, looking left to right it gets thinner and thinner to the point I don't think the whole thing is even there. I eventually got it working, but if a butterfly in africa flaps its wings ist kaput. I know people but a lot of effort into these things, and when I list what versions I've tried it is not an insult it's just to eliminate have tried so and so ??'s thanks for everyone's help..

Headphones working on ICS?

Hi, This is probably a n00by question, but do headphones work on the ICS rom builds yet?

Yes, I can confirm that they work on CM9 Alpha 2 for the TouchPad. You need to plug in the headphones before starting any music/movies, etc that will use the headphones. If you plug them in after the music/movies started they will not work for some strange reason.
Hope this helps!
P.S. My Mother works graveyard and has CM9 Alpha 2 on hers and she loves watching movies/tv shows at night when they have nothing to do so she uses her headphones without problems.

Oh ok Thanks for the quick reply mate.
I'll go and try now ^_^, and my mum wanted one of the HP Touchpads, but ended with a iPad. XD

Your very welcome and my sympathies to your Mother! LOL! Seriously though as I know someone that has an iPod Touch 4 and I have played around with it. I am not impressed with the OS on that one. I really do prefer Android thanks.
GOOD LUCK with getting Android on your TouchPad!

Haha, I have to say I like the iPhone XD mainly because I only use it for texting/fb/emails/music and tethering. I have to say though I find the apps on the iphone/ipad seem to be more finished than the android versions. But then theres the argument of them being restrictive (which is true lets not fight there )
Thanks for the good luck, but I have android on there already so won't take too long to update to CM9 or ClassicNerd.
just finished installing ClassicNerd MUIU have a nosiey at that hehe

Chromebook, are they any use with a Nexus 7?

I just read about the new chromebook coming out and though since it is about the same price as a N7, i pre-ordered one.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-XE303...92074&t=asinref-20&sr=1-1&keywords=B009LL9VDG
can someone familiar with chromeos tell me if this is something meant to be use together with a N7 or something totally different?
I had the first chromebook that they gave away for free and gave it away before i get to play around with it

Looks pretty cool. Definitely interested in your review.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

The price is pretty similar because it's using an ARM chip (Samsung Exynos), and therefore much cheaper to produce than the x86 predecessors. However, you lose some of the fancy sensors, and, like the other Chromebooks before it, very few services on it operate without an internet connection.
A Chromebook is basically a laptop that runs just the Chrome web browser. It's great for Google Docs editing and super fast when you have a good internet connection, but pretty mediocre for games, music, movies, or reading. You could pair it with a Nexus 7 and get the best of both worlds essentially, but on the whole they don't really integrate with each other. It's basically the same level of integration you already get with having Chrome installed on a desktop; if it's not already stored on Google's servers via Drive, Music, Play store, etc., you won't get (easy) access to it from your browser.
Also, Netflix doesn't work yet on ARM-based Chromebooks, which could be a deal-breaker for some people. It will probably be rebuilt for ARM at some point, just not right now.

Best thing you can do is try to get Android on it. That way it's the keyboard-version of your N7.

Try and get a Linux distro on it.

You can try it out for yourself using your current PC on a memory stick http://lifehacker.com/5820358/how-to-turn-your-netbook-into-a-chromebook-with-chromium-os
This way you can see for yourself , I put it on my laptop the other night just to see what its all about, I'm sure the version you get with your chrome book will be a bit more polished, it does feel a bit like a beta but still fun to play about with

Word of warning though ... I used my 32gb SD card and windows image writer corrupted the card and it now reads as 1gb!! ( still works) So use one you don't need or care about, if anyone knows how to fix it I'm all ears!?!

Format the card lol

Got a Samsung chrome book in our house, persuaded my aging folks to go for it for emails docs net surfing booking holidsys and the such. Zero maintainance and easy to use. Not very XDA!
Tbh great devices, v long battery quick at browsing, v quick boot or resume. These new ones should be better and are cheaper too. Depends on your use/user. No good for games and apps really, for the online world excellent. YouTube etc. on the Samsung works great at 720p.
i barely use my laptop as can use the chromebook and nowadays hardly use that due to my N7...
I dont see how the two 'combine' particularly, ones a touchscreen tab one is a laptop-lite.

[Q] New to the Forum, Touchpad in mail!

Hey guys,
I just ordered my Touchpad today, should be here by the end of the week. It is used and the previous owner had ICS running on it I believe. My question is, what would you guys suggest I do once I receive it? Upgrade to JB? Any certain mods or kernels that everyone uses now? Just trying to familiarize myself with the Touchpad forums so I can get right on what I need to do once it comes in.
Thanks

There are multiple roms for hp touchpad users and each have there own weaknesses and strengths
The best way to familiarize yourself with rom types is to download the free app goomanager in the play store.
It will help you get the roms
In my perspective i beleive that the rom in the attachments is the best
It has no visible bugs and works smoothly on Hp touchpad
Mic works
Camera works- 1.3M
Cm 10 is new and beta so i would not recommend it
Try the one that is recommended in text file
Happy Flashing

Thanks a lot for the rom suggestion. Any other suggestions (from you or anyone else) regarding kernels, overclocking, any particular apps that run really well on these tablets or any apps that are great for tablets that aren't so much for phones...? If it helps, I want to use it mainly for work (attorney), like viewing and editing documents, etc.

Westlaw (Next, not classic) has a meh app (basically a glorified mobile web app), but text is much easier to read on a bigger screen. LexisNexis doesn't have one as far as I know. Google Drive is good for documents.
I don't agree that CM10 is not ready as a daily driver. I use it as one and have since the latest preview came out. That's something you will probably need to try for yourself.

Thanks. I have both (Westlaw and Google Drive) on my phone and will definitely be carrying them over. How about running Ubuntu? Any pros/cons when using for my purposes??

I've never run Ubuntu on any hardware (Arch) and I use only CM10 on my TP, so I can't really speak to that. Maybe someone else here who is running Ubuntu on the TP can help you out. I would imagine that the software repositories in Ubuntu could be helpful, like LibreOffice or a LaTeX editor, but I'm not sure how that would work out on a touchscreen.

over clock with rom manager
95% of the apps in play will be compatibe with hp touchpad on this rom
the only app that i couldn't install is vice city
Office suite is a great app that can edit documents, powerpoints, excell sheets ext.
"There's an app for that!"

Ubuntu is too slow to use as a daily driver unfortunately.

New to Android tables (not phones though)

Amazon had a tab S 8.4 on their lightening deals so I went for it. I have a GS5 and am looking forward to entering the android tablet ecosystem after having an ipad for so long.
Any suggestions for a new comer to the android tablet ecosystem? Apps (Samsung or generic) tips and tricks? I'm aware of side sync 3.0 so i'll look into that. I'm a pilot so any other pilots out there with android aviation app experience, i'd love to hear your suggestions for foreflight killers.
How well will the tablet stay synced to my phone? meaning, if i download an app on my phone, will it show up on the tablet too? Just curious how well google/android does with the cross over of having and android tablet and phone.
Thanks guys!

When you get it root it and flash cm if you want it smooth or debloat touchwiz, and if you download apps on your phone they won't install on your tablet but they will be listed in the Play Store under My Apps>All

You don't have to root, just bung on Nova launcher and it's fine. Yeah all apps purchased can be installed on both if compatible.

I definitely would not root when you first get it. Play with it for while to see it you like it the way it is before rooting. I've used Android devices for years and used to always root them. I've not rooted my last two devices and probably won't. As discussed above apps purchased on one can be installed on the other. Apps that use any sort of cloud sync are good for keeping the data on your tablet and phone in sync.

I was planning on using touchwiz for a while just to see what it was like on a tablet. I'm interested in trying CM11 or some other custom rom on it. Any suggestions of roms other than CM? CM is all i've ever used on my phone...
I have nova on my GS5 and love it. Will the licence carry over for a tablet?
Thanks guys.

I haven't seen too many options besides CM for this tablet.
I don't have the license for nova, but for other apps that require license/payment, it transfers over.

Yes, CM12 is based on 5.0 (Lollipop).
Mostly the same apps for me. For example, I have hulu, hbo go, etc on my phone and tablet, but would much rather watch them on the tablet given the screen size and quality.
