Android OS v4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) and lapdock 500 without WebTop - Motorola Droid 4

I want to buy a refurbished Droid 4 updated to 4.1.2 jellybean and have a lapdock 500. The seller says he cant find anything about WebTop in the "About" section, or an app on the phone. So without Webtop will the lapdock work? (keyboard, webcam, ports) I have been looking and looking and I do not see a Webtop app download on the web. I am assuming that without Webtop I will get a standard display thats just like what I see on the phone, but does the WebTop app have the drivers for the lapdock ports and functions? I have not been able to find the answer to this. Anyone with experience, info, and/or files please come forward

I want Lapdock 500
Or not MY LAPDOCK RULEZ
Technically he should have Webtop version in About. If he doesn't have - you can always reinstall system (Batman script have Webtop support)
Technically it is possible to run without webtop - but if it doesn't work - it is very simple (and safe) to reinstall

Thanks for the info. I had him check the "about" and he didnt see Webtop in it. What is Batman Script and where can I download it?

do you know which version of Webtop is included in it?

The newest
wt-3.0.0
Fervi
PS. It is Android from Motorola, you have updates and Verizon software (if u are on GSM Zone, u can install Mentor's Patch)

Thanks. Is it unusual that the droid 4 that I want to buy does not mention webtop 3 in to About Phone? The seller can only find webtop 1.0 in the manage applications>all. The phone has android 4.1.2

Not to worry, because reinstall the system takes 10-15 minutes
You can always install CyanogenMod, but 4cm from the image (vertical) does not work [like in the movies with bad proportions)
No fear - Droid hard to screw up

[USB-Tethering] Wired Tether for Root Users

Hi!
I've put an app together (99% based on "Wireless Tether for Root Users") which allows tethering via USB. Clients need to support RNDIS - works fine with Microsoft Windows (tested with XP and 7) and Linux (OpenSuSE 11.1).
Zinx Verituse has ported the essential parts of the hero-kernel and cyanogen has introduced this feature in his latest rom. So, thanks Zinx for the patches and cyanogen for publishing on github.
Patches can be found here:
http://github.com/cyanogen/cm-kernel/commit/9fd56ebdb6aba91e9b17ddea490ec9b39a819112
http://github.com/cyanogen/cm-kernel/commit/1a57339f015c3bfa097cf1d3e82f3485a6652483
I've decided to create this app to give all rom-cooks the ability to use this feature without modifying system-services and/or system-apks.
What a cook needs to do: Patch your kernel and recompile - all other stuff is done by the app.
Download:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/
Features:
* Tethering makes use of the mobile-data-connection (HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS) or WiFi-connection
* Uses correct domainname-servers - provided by your carrier or which are configured on the wifi-access-point you connect (even if the network changes => switch from 3g to wifi and vice versa)
* Allows to change the local-network (network/subnetmask)
Supported ROMs:
* CyanogenMod 4.2.3.1+
* Android Dev Phone 1
=> my kernel-update needs to be applied: http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/downloads/list?q=Kernel
* ?
Have fun!
Harry
THX a lot for this app
sudo dhclient usb0 and there you go
Good work.
Alot of the hero roms were finally able to get wireless tethering for root working on, well, hero roms. i installed, but cant get it working. What patch should i use, im using Sense Hero1.3.3
Hi Harry,
I'm visiting from the CDMA Hero forum, in the hopes that you might have some pointers on how to get this to work on the rooted CDMA Hero?
When I looked at this project over at code.google.com, it seems like this requires 1.6, where the CDMA hero is running 1.5. Will this fact doom us to ever run wired tether at this point?
From what I can tell on my Hero, everything seems to run fine until after I allow root access for the app. It then gives me a FC when accessing the system settings (as it's the one referenced in the FC.)
Can I apply your kernel safely to my ROM? Thanks in advance for your help!!
doesnt seem to work with macs

Did you try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443025?
I've been using the wired tether for the past week and have experienced some issues. Mainly, if the tether app isn't in the foreground, the process seems to randomly get restarted. This manifests as brief hiccups in internet access for the connected computer. Didn't experience this problem using WT4R (in bluetooth mode).
HW: Dream
App: wired-tether-1.0.apk
Kernel: adp 1.6 usbtether-r3
OS: Vista SP2
If I remember to, i'll post a log later tonight.
Could you please explain (or put in the first post) why use this while the current tether in Network Settings (CM4.2.x) works just fine?

If usb-tethering with cyanogenmod is working fine for you there is no reason why you should use this app. I've implemented just a few enhancements (using the correct domainname-servers, changing lan-config) - I don't know how cyanogen is doing this stuff (I don't use it).
The main-idea of this app was to bring usb-tethering to other roms (where system-settings can't be modified or roms which a pretty close to stock roms and heavily modified parts are not welcome). All you need for this is a modified kernel which can be easily done.

Ah, it hadn't occurred to me that other roms might not yet have tethering.
Thanks for your contribution then!
Very good! Thank you!
Anyone have the usb drivers for Windows XP?
Thanks in advance!
Has anyone used this successfully with Dwang 1.13? When Cyanogen came out with USB tethering it practically rendered mounting my sdcard and adb unusable. But this would be nice to use.
Sorry...Here's the link for it all.

awesome app
hey dude thanks for this app. i have cyanogenmod 4.2.5 and i know usb tethering is enabled on there but i didnt know how to get it to work. this app made it easy and painless i just had to download htc sync for hero and it worked like a charm. love it..
Just wanted to jump in and say thanks. I'm using this in my newest build and it works like a charm. I couldn't remember the authors name so i came here to get it so I can give credit, so while I'm here I wanted to say good job, and thank you

This does work on dwangs 1.13 ... however it broke the cell network I was unable to get cell signal or network so it did me no good. I am working on way to fix this but I have not done dev for any phone in a long time, so it may take me a while to find out what is doing this.

XBMC on WebTop

Now that we know that it is running custom version of ubuntu, anybody want try compiling and running xbmc on it ?
XBMC trunk already contains most of the patches for tegra 2 and more will applied soon according XBMC developer ( davilla ). We should be able to test it now ..
<davilla> ssh in, install build tools, git install xbmc trunk, build for tegra2 and see if it works
That would be AWESOME!! I myself was wondering about running XBMC on webtop.
I tried installing git, but apt-get threw a bunch of dependency errors. I tried "apt-get -f install" but it wanted to remove most of the installed packages because they were not needed.
Any updates ?
Instead of trying to install via git why not download the tar of it and extract it ...
Hey guys!
Any news about it?
I really would like to see XBMC on webtop´s atrix!
I found this for the bravehearts.
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-
TO_install_XBMC_for_Linux_on_Ubuntu,_a_Step-by-Step_Guide
NOTE: I have not tried it. You are in the DEV section, any mod attempts that YOU make to YOUR phone are YOUR own responsibility.
It is not listed here .... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/armel?text=xbmc
So it probably has not been attempted.
I already did this steps but can´t work.
The XBMC is the most important thing to work for me on Atrix. I´ll wait for someone do that work,

I tried a couple of steps too, dependency hell. Not sure if it will be figured out in DEV section since it's more of an app thing.
I thought I saw a VM once that dev work could be done on. I'm on travel next week 10 hours of flight time plus sitting in Chicago for 3 hours both ways. Maybe I'll get motivated.
Oh man!
I hope you get motivated!
Really thanx!
You would need an x86 emulator or VM to run this I believe as it is only coded for x86. Running it through an emulator would be slow and unreliable or just plain broken most likely. Not to discourage anyone from trying.
XBMC Official Hardware Support List
Asking for a port of it would go in XBMC dev forums

Nope I've seen XBMC running on a beagleboard native, As well it ran very well. We have 2x the ram and 400mhz x2 more speed. So it should run.
I downloaded the XBMC through official site and one of the Readme file (README.armel) talks:
"
This is a port of XBMC for use on ARM Architecture.
As this is not an official version of XBMC, in-depth testing on various setups has not been done. USE WITH CAUTION!
For the purpose of this port, the following Hardware and Software was used.
Software: Scratchbox (cross-compiler) on a Linux (Ubuntu) machine.
Hardware: BeagleBoard (ARM Cortex-A8 with IMG POWERVR SGX).
The source code is based on XBMC for Linux - version 9.11 (Camelot)."
So, I think its possible to run on Atrix, correct? But I have to do a lot of hard things to try it and I´m not able to do it, but it´s a good news.
I think I'm getting lost here....
What is the intention for using XBMC within webtop? Streaming to or streaming from phone?
I've found these apps
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.plexapp.android
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.psa.android.media
http://code.google.com/p/android-xbmcremote/
Longterm features
Download media locally to device's SD card
Stream media to device
And here's the VM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992178
xPerfect virtual appliance - Android SDK r10 / NDK r5b - dev
dicksteele
I´ll try to explain (sorry, bad english)
I´ll conect my Atrix on dock HD and 2 hd extern (plugged on dock usb´s port).
So, trought the webtop, I open the XBMC and this show me the files (movies and tv series) on my HD´s.
XBMC has a nice e configurable interface.
I´ll look this apps!
Thanx!
Interesting......
I'd try it but going on travel tomorrow and I need my phone

Hi man.
I´d tried it (the armel version) but appears a lot of dependecies and I could´t try to install it.
Here is xbmc dev forum with it but for tegra 2 reference board though:

Is the Ubuntu running as a VM on Atrix4G ?

You need to use xbmc trunk which contains all the patches for tegra 2. Can you post what you have tried ? Any errors ?

I don't believe it's running as a VM, it's running as a full instance.
From what I can read on the XBMC threads there are some problems.
But I found a guide for the BeagleBoard that might help people get going, dont think it will run out-of-the-box with this guide.

Dual boot on LG Optimus 2X

Hey I was wondering if there is a way to get dual boot on my O2X. The type I would love the most is the one of this kind forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095658
But dual boot with any other system would be great. If anyone are able to make this happen that would be great. I myself have no idea how to make this work so help would be great. Thanks for your attention.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
i don't think it's possible to do that
the o2x has 400MB of system ROM and most of rom uses up to 350MB, qhere do you want to put other roms?
Hi,
it's not a dual boot, but you can now launch a full linux system from android using the chrooting method, see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151931
That is great
Im having some trouble with the installment of ubuntu though
They have hadded BT5 now that's real sweet to have with you on the go.
seems they are working towards native boot with usb host support that would be the golden price
the hdmi out is suppose to work on it, still havent gotten to test myself though
Anyone tried Bootmanager on O2X?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.drx2.bootmanager
Dual boot is actually possible.But till my exams end i am not working on that Project.Till then enjoy my chroot images.My exams end on 22nd august.Will start working on Native linux booting after that.

I couldn't resist for €2, but the device is unsupported, so I have to fill in the the details manually. Such as:

Any news on this. I found this interesting but saw our device still unsupported as you have already mentioned. It will be wonderful if o2x gets supported. And the best part is not only dual boot but supports upto four/five including the ROM in phone.

Now that so many different flavours of GB ROMs available for our device (CM with working A2DP & FM, MIUI-FM expectedly will be working shortly since CM has made it & STOCK ROMs) a Dual /Multi boot will make a great value addition to O2X. Hoping to hear something positive from you.

Its not exactly a dual boot...U will boot into android and then manually run the script in terminal emulator and run linux on top of Android..think of it as a virtual Machine...there will be no sound from within Linux..The android O.S will continue to function as Normal..There will be no effect on the Main O.S...other than Memory consumption while you run the chroot..ofcourse that is to be expected..

all credit should go to Sogarth, SystemR89, _Alex_ and all the wonderful devs in the debian thread.
If any of you have issues with me releasing any of these mods please send me a pm or join irc. Thanks!
I will flash this and wait for hdmi hack. Thanks Joe!
Will it have a way to install other apps such as openoffice or chrome? will it have the ability to access files regardless of where they are?
I remember because of chroot in the debian solution accessing files outside the chroot was not possible.

oops not the same hack. I added hdmi mirroring not webtop without hdmi
no webtop option
I just tried this and after a clean install and I get no webtop option when I plug in the HDMI cable, I just have 2 options - Entertainment Center and Dismiss Picker... am I missing something? (i.e. this is just using the HDMI cable, no dock of any sort, I had this working before upgrading to GB).
The only other thing I can think of is that I have faux123's OC'ed kernel... I think I'll try reverting to stock and see if that fixes things.

- reboot into SDE menu and under "Format System" perform a "Reset Android & Storage" to clear all data of previous installations (this is really important for the first installation. Updating a existing installation (same major version) doesn't require this step !).
- reboot into SDE menu and under Developer Edition Menu -> "Export Data Partition"
- mount this usb drive
Code:
sudo mkdir <Mount_Path>/local
sudo cp archos.ext4.update <Mount_Path>/local/archos.ext4
sudo sync
sudo umount <Mount_Path>
- wait until the unmount process is done
- reboot into SDE menu and under Developer Edition Mernu , Flash Kernel and Initramfs : copy zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo on the new driver that appears on desktop/laptop
- Wait for reboot your devices : after reboot you can see Android prepares the system for a while .....be patient at least ~20 minutes for the first run!

I now understand why TI exited the mobile SOC market - How can they expect to sell new stuff when the OMAP4xxx just won't die!
I shall give this one a whirl, It'll be good to get my archos off of the stock ICS.
I'm assuming you've dropped the recovery nonsense for that moment then?
is selinux off?
Is adb on a first boot? as I would recommend that folks leave it hooked up the computer after flashing that
way you can run adb logcat so you know what is going on. It sure beats watching a boot animation for ~20 minutes.
IIRC the 2012 nexus 7 took about 10 Minutes to boot so it's not far off.
I see you forked hotplugd! Let me apologize for the code quality, I was young and foolish and didn't know what I was doing ..
I think I might revisit it at some point or at least delete it lol
Anyway If I've got a bit of time / motivation I might have to have a cheeky hack on this , now that you've done all the hard work! .
I hope you don't mind but I've also given the file some re-hosting love just uploading it to devhost and androidfilehost too. I figured the space might aswell get used for something useful.. I'lll post the links when it's complete.:good:
Hack On! :good:

Hahahah! BI ZAR! I check the forum for my Archos 101 Gen9 Turbo once every X months, and checked it today and see LOLLIPOP / CM12?! GREAT!
And whats the status? I use the tablet a lot still, so what is NOT working?
Edit: Flashed it to a Archos 101 Gen9 Turbo, and all is working, and fast as hell. GREAT!
I came from Freezenook's ROM BUILD7 (VERY happy user) but now tried this:
A MA ZING!
How fast and cool this Lollipop is on our (old) Archos (101) Gen9 (Turbo) tablet!!!
For now only compliments and almost everything seems to work, and this is a major and recommended step! Great OS this Lollipop!
Tested
Speed: Good (17.106 AnTuTu 5.3)
Sound/Video: Yes
Touch: Very good
Camera: Yes
Battery: Good
Size: Lot of free space (3 - 4 GB free!)
Memcard: NOT TESTED YET
USB: Yes (with Archos Panel app (USB & deep sleep))(USB storage works)
MicroUSB: Only charging (no devices?)
HDMI: NOT TESTED YET
Headphone: Yes (low volume though)
Apps: Some apps I normally use on my tablet and phones (KitKat or older) are not (yet?) compatible, and cannot install. I really miss some, like Archos Video (Free)(MediaCenter.apk). Is it possible to port this APK to our new Lollipop, I would love that. And the other apps are just not there yet I guess (busy making them Lollipop compat)?
Thanks a lot !!
Supergeil!!!
Still amazing to see that you're still at it @Quallenauge
I will definitely flash it as soon as I have time.
The only concern I have is the USB Port. Does it stil work in 5.0 ? For me it didnt in 4.4, so I flashed back as I needed my Archos to read my Media USB-HDD. I have a 101S btw.
Well as soon as I have flashed it, I am going to test it and try a few things, hope I'll get it working :fingers-crossed:
Hi trevd!

This is not a "nonsense". But it doesn't reflect my current needs. It would be cool to have a standard recovery image to format the data partition with f2fs (The kernel should support it right now!).
trevd said:

Yes. Currently I doesn't know how to enable selinux rules, because "rootfs" isn't the mounted loop device but the "real" root. So the file nods are forced to "ubject_r:unlabeled:s0" which doesn't fits.

Yes, ADB is turned on by default. I don't like it, when my device doesn't be verbose

Yes, the old binary is bound to an older libsigchain.so. So I had to recompile it. The code quality is far better than my output So thanks for your work!
I have an issue with the ril implementation. Mobile signal is turned on, but the datakey pppd stuff is not called. Do you have an idea whats going wrong - where can I look.
Should I use your implementation from android_hardware_ril_libarchos_ril ?

External USB drive isn't supported right now. I will have a look, when I have some free time ( and after fixing the RIL mobile data connection stuff ).

Wow, excellent! Thank you!
Could you please, write what you know that definitely doesn't and does work, as you did for older CMs?
Does ART work? Could CM 10.2 be updated to 12, or should we erase everything like with clean CM installation? HDMI?
@nilse: Yes USB (inc drives/storage) works (via Archos Panel app)!
@Bor-ka: Always do a full format/erase/factory settings etc, for SURE with a major leap like CM11 > CM12 or MORE!!
See my older post for a test of all hardware etc!
And again: Some apps I normally use on my tablet and phones (KitKat or older) are not (yet?) compatible, and cannot install. These apps are just not there yet I guess (busy making them Lollipop compat)?
I really miss some, like Archos Video (Free)(MediaCenter.apk). Is it possible to port this APK to our new Lollipop, I would love that!
thank you again for your great work.
Works on 80g9H 512 mb ram.
will test more functions and edit this post later.
@hackwerk, thanks!
For some reason unknown to me, there is no "export partition" in my SDE, so reformatting and copying to the /local/ is a little bit painful to me - should do it with adb shell.
But anyway, Archos Video Player is a show stopper for me. Since it is the only player that can natively play 720p/1080p movies on this tablet via DLNA/Samba. Tried MX player with latest codecs - no luck.
All
Did anybody compare deep sleep in CM with the stock ROM?
IIRC deep sleeped tablet with a stock ROM (4.*, 3.*) could lose only about 10 battery _a_week_ if not used. May be my memory deceives me, of course. But with CM 10.2 and no background tasks it drops by ~ 10% a night. (Didn't try Wakelock and Greenify though)

SDE: This ia an easy alternative way of installing the ROM (which I used)!
Video: Have you tried Skifta (good for network!) or other majors, like GoodPlayer, MediaPlayer Classic or the brand new official VLC Player (and thus MX Player))?
Maybe in combination with the "All Codecs for Archos Video" app?? Must be possible!
And maybe / I hope we can 'port' the MediaCenter.apk to Lollipop!
Battery: Is already good, but everyone talks about an app called Lux! And Greenify.
But yes Deep Sleep can be enabled in this ROM in the Archos Panel app too.
And maybe these famous mods can help too ( @Quallenauge: Checked them already I think?)?

Unfortunately I do not have "Enter the SDE menu on your device and select export data partition," in SDE.
See here, with screenshot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57243821&postcount=2
For video thanks, I'll try. Completely forgot about VLC. Tried MX already, it plays Ok from the internal memory/SD but gloriously fails over the network.
What Lux does is automagically lowers screen brightness, Yes, it is very useful app, but it will lower battery drain in the active mode, not in sleep when the screen is off. And it has a bad habit on my current cm10 installation - sometimes it restarts when I'm reading a pdf book at night (low memory?) and I get some two seconds of full brightness in my eyes. Ouch.. I think I'd revert back to manual "dimmer" or "blue light filter" and manual brightness adjustment.
What is strange, users at our local forum report that 5.0 is slower than the stock (?!) ROM on 80S 1.5 Turbo (4460) / 1GB RAM. I wonder what it will be like on my 1.2 (4430) / 512 RAM..
Thanks Quallange and all of you who helped him I saw your progress with 5.0 on github and I wanted to compile it myself but yeah I didn't had space for that sadly, I wanted to ask you flr it but then I see now that you got a cm12 thread when I am tomorrow home from school I will flash this :good:
Edit:
This song describes my 5.0 feeling:
http://youtu.be/p8sZcmQr6KY
It works till now pretty good. I am having the 512mb turbo version but after disabling things that I don't use it runs all smooth :good: o
I installed this Rom on my 101 g9 with 512 MB RAM.
It s like a new device. A lot less lagging and better ui response.
Only thing i found is that the keybord hides every now and then when i want to type some text.
Thanks a lot for this masterpiece of work *like*

I agree, much more snappy than CM11. I've also had the keyboard hiding issue (stock and Swype). Thanks for keeping the G9 alive Quallenauge :good::good:
G9 80H
i installed the rom but it places data on internal storage. hard drive is placed at /storage/sdcard1 and is read-only
how can i place data on the hard drive?
Note: besides the internal storage issue, the rom runs nicely.
Hi Quallenauge.
Realy magic this ROM, many thanks.
If with JB sometime I have only 80 MB RAM free and with KK 145, now I have over 200 !!!
But I have a problem, app ( iGO ) can't write on external card.
Tried with 3 different SDFix and manually in system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
With Root Explorer I can copy, but can't modify permision.
There is a solution to this problem ?
Thanks in advance.
