Dock Support in Custom ROMs - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just curious to know if there are any ICS / JB ROMs with docking support for Nexus One. Please also share any ideas on how easy / difficult would it be to do such a thing for a dev?

Are you talking about a desktop dock or the car dock? My N1 running 4.2.2 connects to the dock automatically.

The desktop dock. Sorry about the confusion.
Mine charges fine, but does not show me the dock menu / night clock that stock and CM 7.2 had.

Keyboard and mouse

Hi all,
I don't know if it's possible with previous versions to JPH, but I have connected an Apple mice and a keyboard to my SGS with the stock JPH rom, without any hack, it works great.
This phone, and of course Android, is amazing!!
Cheers!
EDIT: sorry I forget to say that the mice and keyboard are bluetooth

It sounds great..
as far as I knew there was not HID drivers on previous firmwares..
Would you be able to try with a Wiimote using this app?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.ccpcreations.android.WiiUseAndroid
Yes, yes, I'm too lazy to flash JPH and try by myself
I pray that you are correct, if so that removes my only remaining small gripe with the phone (can't wait to try out my Datel Retro Wireless controller!!!!).
Can anybody else confirm?
(...having just got my GS perfectly set up with Voodoo and a bunch of other things I don't want to flash again unless this is solid)
Fantastic news to me, there's hope for my Logitech Di-Novo mini then! I'll shed a tear if it turns out it finally will work.

Yep, I will be well stoked, will upload a video showing the emulators with the Detal Retro Wireless to YouTube STAT!
Great news, only if I had a bluetooth keyboard to try it out.
I asked at Modaco, another user there confirms he is using a Dell BT Mouse with his... Looks like I have a flash in front of me right now!

I tried to pair with the wiimote, but it asks for a pin, does anyone knows it?, or it must be paired using another method?

I tried it, but I think that it doesn´t detect bluetooth on galaxy, because BT is active but the app says not :-(

Yep, I realised that the problem of Wiimote controller is not the absence of HID drivers..
It's because Touchwiz uses his own bluetooth module (maybe i'm technically wrong, but this is the substance) instead of the Android one. The same happens with HTC phones with Sense..
And that app doesn't recognize Bluetooth!
I'm pretty sure we'll be able to pair and play with the Wiimote if/when CyanogenMod (AOSP rom that use "normal" bluetooth) will be out.

I already have an iGo Ultraslim Stowaway BT keyboard, just purchased a Dell 5-button BT Mouse (which another use confirms is a go with the GS). With my TV Out should be nice (especially when I can't get on my computer at home because the fiance needs it for work purposes a lot at present!).

Mods please delete or move to Q and A. Thanks.

Does anyone know which ROMs support HDMI video out though the external video cable? Is it only the sense ones? Only the stock ones? Any recommendations on the best and newest ROM that has HDMI support or any one know if there is a list somewhere?
Thanks.
Is a hardware thing and the Incredible don't have it/support HDMI

Firstly, not to be a jerk but this definitely belongs in the Q&A section. Secondly, if a ROM supports HDMI out, it should say it in the features. Most of the stock ROMs should have support for TV out.

The Incredible does NOT support HDMI out (Which is used for High Definition Video Out). It does have composite video out with the cable and basically only the Sense 1.0 roms support it.
Sorry for posting this question to the development thread. I realized after I did it that it should have gone in Q&A. I couldn't find a way to delete a post. If any moderator wants to delete this thread I won't mind.

I stand corrected. HDMI no. TV Out yes. My mistake.
I won't lie, I don't use tv out... but my impression was you could use TV Out from USB mini to HDMI... is that not the case?

Webtop Mod

I was wondering if any one has tried modifying the webtop portal and dock files to allow it to show on screen when HDMI is connected, like the Atrix and Bionic? I didn't see anything online about it, but I think this would be cool if someone was working on it.
Have you tried NebTop?
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...op-universal-hdmi-webtop-hack-working-d4.html
Apparently, I didn't do enough research, because that's the exact thing I was talking about. Thanks
This is exactly what I was looking for. Paid the $4.12 to support the developer. It was a much better deal as opposed to going out to buying the dock for $50 or the docking station for $100.

And isn't needed in ICS as just plugging in an HDMI cable will bring up Webtop 3.0.

I had resolution issues, but a phone reset got it to work again.... Works pretty good now. The Dev does actually answer emails too which is nice.
I have a travel adapter that enables webtop yet I have no control of the cursor... I'm on stock no root... first time it launched touch screen was a touch pad with L and R buttons for clicking... now I can't get it to launch with the touch pad feature.... any ideas I've force reboot and FR... can't get safe mode to enable...

[Q] For the official ICS user with official car mount

Hello, after the official ICS update for Germany gnote its nothing but problems for me, unstable and slow not impressed at all.
Today I ran into phone app crashing constantly. I'm using Samsung's original Gnote car mount and I have it set landscape view as most of us do. When I got a call while driving I noticed the whole screen went BLACK! couldn't see who was calling and wasn't able to click anything... Few seconds later got a notice saying android phone app had crashed! Wtf.... So I wondered if this only happens in landscape view? What do you know, it was! When the phone is in portrait view phone didn't crash at all...
So I would like to find out if this is just happening to me only? Please if you own a Samsung gnote official carmount and if you have updated your gnote to Samsung's official ICS update (germany) try to make a phone call while your phone is in landscape view.
Please let me know thank you for your time!
Update: I'm sure many of us reported germany samsung this issue but what the hell I did it this morning as well included with video. I hope they release fix soon.

Yes, here is from Italy another "unlucky user" with the same problem!!!
German Galaxy Note with stock ICS - German version and original Samsung car mount...
Exactly the same problem, with dark screen and com.android.phone terminated and instability
I made a couple of times re-flash also starting again from GB and updating again to ICS... NOTHING always the same mess.
I spent a lot of hours to be at the same page
The crazy thing is that the issue is only if connecting the chip that powers the phone. I mean that just keeping in horizontal without power supply everything works. When plugging, at that stage it is the voice car mode that creates the trouble! But if you just use the voice interaction without putting in the car mount... everything is working fine again, either in vertical or horizontal positions
The difference I noticed is that the car mode icon appears, and at that stage we are in trouble. I couldn't find any parameter to avoid that plugging the phone in the car mount this car mode is activated, otherwise the bypass would have been easy, given that I do not use the voice commands...

no workaround that we might find?
If some expert guy here would know how to prevent any specific software function launch when connecting the power in this car mount accessory.... We would maximise the probabilities that everything works fine as without power supply.
The only issue would be phone calls in vertical mode only.

how about using other launcher and phone app?
I have also report to samsung australia, hope the fix it before rolling out the ICS release. The live chat support just said will forward it to the related department.
update: actually australia samsung is not selling the vehicle dock, probably they wont support it at all

The launcher is bypassed by the car accessory. When connecting power authomatically the system launches the "horizontal car mode" and vocal guidance and I'm sure this state is the one that creates the problem
My perception is that the customer service does not report problems to the HQ, I'm afraid so we should hope they discovered the issue on their own and are studying a fix
depends, i used to report weird bug to htc, but it usually take them 7 months in average to fix it. this is my 1st samsung phone, so i m not aure about samsung procedures.

The same for me. The fact is that we can disable the voice commands interface, but once connected the supply plug through the car mount, the "car mode" remains on, and as a matter of fact the phone calls come in horizontal
The only way everything is working, in horizantal and inside the car mount, is to not connect the supply/audio connector!
The battery is not charging at that stage of course, the phone calls are in vertical but the navigator and all the other interfaces are working in horizontal
Till when the battery is exhausted... it's working fine
Let's hope for a fix (or a workaround from the XDA community) in a short time

Here is a possibly great hint!

Given that at the moment I have not got the root on my ICS, could somebody else have a try to this proposal?
It might be a workaround, while waiting for the fix!!
