[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
I have found over the years of using PDA's, phones, and now tablets that people who can touch type typically want a real keyboard accessory of some kind. Those who type with two fingers don't typically care. Not making any judgements or theories on your typing skills -- just stating what I've noticed.

If I'm doing a little typing, I'll just use the screen keyboard. But if I'm typing a long email, post on a forum, letter, etc., it's great to have a keyboard, especially if it's very portable.
[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
That's why I wanted foldup. Doesn't take much space and easy to flip open when needed.

I can VPN to work and then ssh into servers or workstations for diagnostics/testing. Something you'd usually use a laptop for. I can do it without the keyboard, but it's 10 times faster than a touchscreen for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] vikramdhani:
Seriously that is funny because it defeats the purpose of being portable, if you have to make sure your keyboard and mouse are with you all the time
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
Exactly why I don't agree with these people. I have a laptop. This is my tablet (which I still believe is excessive and unnecessary).
[Droid X General] hanone:
Does anybody have this working on their X? It's free today in the amazon marketplace but it just closes on my phone
[Droid X General] jaydubbs:
Working flawlessly on mine running rooted GB.
[Droid X General] GolfnWrx:
Way cool, thanks for letting me know!

Works well for me too.... :D

Running like butter on LibGB0.5

(Yes, I know 0.6 is out. I don't plan on flashing a new Liberty every three days, and haven't even seen a change-log yet anyway.)

The new Seidio Dock for the Thunderbolt is now shipping. It can be used without the need to remove your cover. Ordered mine this morning. I had one for my Evo before and it worked great with the cover on.

It says it will work without removing phone from case if you use the included cable.... Let us know if it charges in the cradle while case is on.... Picture shows it will....
[Thunderbolt Accessories] tuanster1119:
you can also save $10 by buying it without the case.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Cubs2008:
Ordered...I need a dock for home and work. :)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] YankInDaSouth:
Curious to see some reviews on this ... really been wanting a desk top dock!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] joker713:
Anyone know what the difference between the regular one and the "kit" one is besides the $10??
[Thunderbolt Accessories] justsosa:
Thunderbolt Desktop Dock Kit

I believe the only difference is the kit comes with an A/C cord for the dock.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] MoeDaddy:
Doesn't put the phone in dock mode though does it?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ddgarcia05:
There's an app which will place it in dock mode whenever its being charged. Down side is like I said "whenever" its being charged. Just gotta look for the app.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] vavaud:
I'm waiting to see if it will put it into dock mode.

i will be watching this thread :D
[Thunderbolt Accessories] YankInDaSouth:
Just ordered it about 2 minutes ago ... will report back once I get it :D
[Thunderbolt Accessories] justsosa:
No. I don't think it puts it into dock mode automatically. I had the one for the Evo and that did not put it into dock mode. But I liked it because I did not have to remove my cover every time I put it in the dock. This one looks like it will also accommodate it for those that have an extended battery case..
[Thunderbolt Accessories] infinite012:
The Nightclock app puts the phone in its own landscape alarm clock mode when it detects the phone is charging.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Cubs2008:
Just got mine. It works great with the Active X cases for standard and extended batteries. There is an attachment that snaps into the dock for when you're not in a case. It works perfectly!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] tuanster1119:
Does it automatically turn the dock mode on?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] jinxerfelix:
it works great with the high gloss silicone case from Verizon.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Cubs2008:
I can't tell you for sure because I'm running a Sense 3 preview ROM with no working dock mode as of right now (they are working on a fix.) I may grab a dock mode app from the market in the meantime. It does rotate all my apps though.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] shanetrain:
Does the dock have an audio jack on it?

If not, can you still plug headphones into it, while on the dock?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] boythatkills:
No audio jack from the looks of the photos - however it looks to be cut out so you can plug your headphones into the phone still.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] atwnsw:
Can somebody tell me a good app to put this in dock mode? I got mine today....

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Accessories] YankInDaSouth:
I don't know of an app that will put it in dock mode automatically ... but I use Gentle Alarm and it's got a pretty nice "night time" display clock. But, you have to put it in that mode yourself.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gobluejd:
I did a video review on this.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] atwickard:
Thanks for the video

Anyone know why it always takes 3 tries to plug in a USB cable?:D
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gobluejd:
Like you have never done that. If you must know, I was at arms length and could not get it in the first time.

Geesh:cool:
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Cubs2008:
Yes you can still plug headphones into it and no it doesn't have an audio jack on it (only has a micro USB port.)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] NCX Designs:
Seidio's dock is a good solution for those of us that use there cases 24/7 and don't want to mess around taking off the case to dock the phone

There are 3 other docks besides Seidio's also, and another chinese dock but i'm sure you guys already seen that one.

There is one by Kidigi, RND and of course, HTC

Kidigi - Thunderbolt cradle with spare battery charger slot

http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1280

RND (W/spare battery charger slot)

http://www.rndpowersolutions.com/-Dock-and-Cradle-Station-with-2nd-battery-charger_p_62.html

Note: both the Kidigi and RND docks are nearly identical, aside from one feature, the RND version has two micro-usb hookups. (None of these docks have AUX)

HTC Multimedia/Desktop Charging Dock (with spare battery and spare battery charging slot) Expected availability in July

Features

Triggers multimedia when docked

Fits with XBat

Integrated battery dock charges spare standard or extended battery

Also I don't expect this dock to be available until Gingerbread is available for the ThunderBolt. Why? because the Gingerbread update adds a new app "Desk Dock" it turns the phone into a nice little desktop info screen. (here's a good screenie I took) when you have facebook signed in for accounts/sync, it will give you friends updates on the Left side of the screen of what they posted.

You can also control whether or not this mode shows random pictures/slideshow for the wallpaper or just a static image the entire time it is docked.

There is also a nighttime mode that turns the brightness down to just enough to see it in the dark without it being too bright and also takes away the statusbar in this mode.

if this helps anyone trying to find a dock thats right for them, please be sure to click the thanks button.

I personally am getting both the Seidio and HTC dock, the Seidio one I'll use as my main dock until HTC's comes out next month, then I'll move the Seidio one to either my nightstand or my car since its annoying to have to remove my case when i want to use it in the car as a speedo or a nav

----------------------------------------------------
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gobluejd:
Nice post!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] NCX Designs:
Thanks, i'm especially interested in those Tetrax mounts now that i seen that review on YouTube, pricey i guess but nothing to worry about making marks on the dash/windshield and plus it doesn't look out of place like big docks like the iGrip Perfect Fit kit.

Which would you recommend for the Thunderbolt if you were to use it in landscape in the car rather than portrait? would the Xway be better so it keeps the orientation?

(yeah i strayed off topic but its a simple question, mods don't go hating me yet lol)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gobluejd:
The XWAY clips to your vent, I started with that one but got a FIXWAY once they came out with that. This one you put a SQUARE METAL part anywhere in your car and then the FIXWAY attaches to that. I had to move after a month, it was a ***** to remove but left no marks or residue. IE. it will not fall off.

As far as the orientation you have to get the disk that mounts on the back of your device in a good position. Thus meaning, I do not center it, as when you lay it down it "wobbles" cause it is centered. I have tried a few disks (order the extras) and now have it positioned at tad above center (looking at device portrait) so when you put it down it tilts towards you. HOWEVER you have to get this right (if you want to do it this way) cause after when you go to use in landscape mode, it may want to fall to the side as the disk is not centered. Not sure I am typing this all right, but hopefully you get the idea. Maybe just mount EXACTLY centered and then it will not be a prob.

The Tetrax product line is probably my favorite "tech accessory". It is so worth the money.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] robsonline:
I am using Settings Profile from the market to launch either Alarm Clock Plus or Desk Clock Plus. I am still evaluating both. When you setup your rule, add a Battery Condition and set it to AC only. Then add an Action to launch the clock of your choice. Make sure you set it to kill the app when you remove it from the dock. Doing it this way, the clock only lunches when plugged into AC (Not USB). Currently I am using Desk Clock Plus. This has been working great for me for a couple of days now. Hope this helps someone.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] gobluejd:
Thanks for the Info! I will check it out!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gcantrell:
Thanks for all the info on this dock guys. I went ahead and placed an order for it and the active extended combo case. I am a huge Otterbox fan but grew tired of waiting for it to reach retail stores. Looking forward to checking these accessories out. I'm sure i wont be dissapointed.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] emagana02:
Sweet! I need to get one for work and home!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] dirtyfingers:
If your handy with "tasker" you could make a profile to have it launch dock mode when you plug it in.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gcantrell:
Got my package this morning. The case and dock are great! Now off to find some dock apps....
[Thunderbolt Accessories] NCX Designs:
Either Seidio didn't use the same technology hookup that is found in the iGrip car dock inside the MicroUSB connector or the leaked Gingerbread ROM with the desk dock app isn't fully functional because when you dock it to the Seidio dock, it just works as a passthrough, Its just as well I guess.

My main gripe with getting third party apps for such a thing is that you have to set the app to automatically got into dock mode when it detects a USB PC connection or or Charge connection (whichever you set it for)

The Seidio dock for me is just a temporary solution until the official HTC dock comes out which is very soon. (expected second week of July or before)

*NOTE: This app is the official ThunderBolt dock mode app*
[Thunderbolt Accessories] atwnsw:
My phone is rooted and I searched Marketplace for the following app "official ThunderBolt dock mode app" without success.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

I need an app to change the orientation automatically when plugged into the dock?

Signed,

Struggling Newbie....
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gobluejd:
I believe it is part of Sense 3. Not sure it can be extracted and used in a non 3 ROM. If it can, someone here can certainly do it.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] NCX Designs:
Actually part of the Gingerbread update but not part of Sense 3.0

but I can see what i can do as far as turning it into an update.zip

Update: Not going to work since its tied to the framework for 2.3, and all 2.3 roms have the dock mode app if they have Sense.

Interesting find though, Our ThunderBolt's already have the app, but its a lite version "DeskMode Lite" can be found inside system/app I think its the Car dock auto launcher but if it were that they wouldn't have called it "DeskMode"
[Thunderbolt Accessories] usafle:
I think my BAMF ROM has that stripped out. I only have the "Car Home". This phone won't even rotate into Landscape mode, much less "dock"

Crap. :(
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gobluejd:
Same here. I am on Bamf 3.0 RC2 and no Dock.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] NCX Designs:
Thats because alot of DEVs remove what they want to and don't care about what the end user will want to use. I avoid these kind of roms because I feel we should have a choice on what WE WANT to use, not what the DEV says we will/can use.

I was using DroidTh3ory's ROM and most other Gingerbread ROM's and Sense 3.0 ROM's like Gingeritis and others have the Dock Mode app. You just have to look around. but not to worry, Gingerbread OTA is supposed to bring this officially which is expected to launch Thursday early Friday. So they will have a rooted RUU shortly after for us Root users.

This might put the ThunderBolt on the Netflix compatibility list as well as for Hulu (crosses fingers)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] robsonline:
I am running Gingeritis v1.0, but I can't find the Dock Mode app. Do you know where it is?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gobluejd:
If that ROM has it, it will be under programs.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] robsonline:
I have looked many times, and have never found it. I was hoping someone could point it out, or let me know that it was stripped out.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gobluejd:
Pretty sure if you can not see it, it has been stripped...
[Thunderbolt Accessories] usafle:
Is there an APK that we can install to get this functionality back?

My screen won't even rotate to landscape mode. LoL
[Thunderbolt Accessories] soonster:
After some price comparison with HTC's official dock (~$50+), I decided to buy the Seidio for $25. Not a bad choice given care more for just easy drop charge than the DOCK mode.

Then again, if they integrate the DOCK mode into the ROM, I guess I wont complaint about it too :D
[Thunderbolt Accessories] stewlounse:
wow, wiish i would have known about this earlier, nice!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newblitz:
Recently, my dad had bricked his Captivate and now I'm trying to fix it for him. I've followed the Odin3 guide, able to get it into download mode and everything seemed fine when I ran Odin3. The issue is that the minute it displays the reset message on Odin3, the phone goes on loop between a grayish battery and the AT&T Logo. I've been looking everywhere for solutions but can't seem to find one that fixes this issue. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
Are you using Odin or Odin one-click? What is the 4-digit build number of the Captivate (10xx format)?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newblitz:

Useful stuff and tools:

SH script by bhanvadia, tailored to the directories introduced by this tutorial:

Download here

Extract anywhere and make it executable by typing

chmod +x kang.sh

Create shortcut to the output directory of your KANGs

Type

ln -s ~/android/system/out/target/product/p990/ <your desired shortcut location>
[LG Optimus 2x] Harsh:
nice guide, really liked it.

too bad there were none when I started making my kangs.

btw: I use mac it is bit different for mac. but nothing its missing.

Here is file you keep on you desktop to make it work without any typing of commands after you setup your computer working directory as per guide by aMpeX.

and check post #2 for making that file executable.....

kang.sh
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
That's why the guide states its for ubuntu. I found that even the Cyanogenmod Wiki entries don't work completely for the latest ubuntu (with g++ and gcc 4.3 not being available anymore, also hat huge problems with the java jdk at first)

I'll add the additional PATH variables as you suggested. Thank you.
[LG Optimus 2x] Harsh:

[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
Aside from what you can read on the net, my KANGs build perfectly fine on Ubuntu 32Bit

No reason to not install 64Bit though. I'll add a remark in the first post.

Edit: After some asking and digging, read this:

http://twitter.com/#!/CM_arcee/status/75677847712309249

So while standard Gingerbread cannot be built by 32Bit, the CyanogenMod7 repository can.
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
is this meant to download a lot of stuff for different phones? mine is downloading a lot of stuff at step 5 and it's taking forever..
[LG Optimus 2x] Harsh:
It will download files for each and every phones supported by CyanogenMod, thats why its called cyanogen repo, not just P990 repo, but mostly you will use stuff thats required by your phone.

and its suggested to have 15 - 20 GB free, as it takes a lot....

3.5 GB is just "out" folder when it compiles for one device (P990)......

[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
What baseband are you using? Make sure that the lge-ril.so is in your proprietary files
[LG Optimus 2x] Homer314:
Thank's for repy.

lge-ril.so is in and generally i flash my build coming from cyano #31 (405) and mcr18 (405)

So...405 :)
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
Possibly (if you synced the proprietary repository by koush AFTER you ran extract-files.sh) your ROM still includes the lge-ril for 0218.

Try reflashing the ril with the methods provided in this forum.

Other than that, I have no idea what might be causing your problems.
[LG Optimus 2x] Harsh:
old ril file from koush files do work on 405 baseband too, but you feel better performance with new ril. with old ril you may loose signals sometime.

delete your vendor/lge/p990 folder, and download again from koush's files and put it back there. make sure your directories are in order

example: for lib-ril.so in as below

like ~/android/system/vendor/lge/p990/proprietery/lib/
[LG Optimus 2x] Homer314:
so:

1) copy koush's files into vendor/lge/p990

2) run extract-files.sh

Right ?

Thank's

EDIT: my build allways report "unknow" into baseband menu

so i added the following to my .bashrc:

export PATH="/home/marc/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools/:${PATH}"
export PATH="/home/marc/bin/:${PATH}"

but after sync -j16 all the new folders are placed in my home dir, not the android/system directory. Yes i logged off etc...

Any ideas ?
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
"repo init" initializes the repository in your current "look-in" directory, so you probably typed it when you were at your home folder after the reboot.

I'm sorry this wasn't made clear in the guide. I'll add that to the guide and give you credit. You can try to build anyway though.

[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
try if you have a hidden folder (Press CTRL+H) ".repo" in hour home folder and delete it, along with all folders that already were synced.

Apart from that you could always create a new user account and delete the old one I guess.
[LG Optimus 2x] peewster:

.repoconfig

deleted them, will try it again.

You got a free 'thanks' due to me being cack-handed :o

Anyway, I can't say I noticed mine timing out at any point. You could try using -j4 (or no -j at all) and see if that helps, less jobs might ease some strain maybe.

Ps. I just noticed the setting up udev part of the OP, I didn't bother doing any of that on either of my setups and everything still works.
