[LG Nitro HD] SolusCado:
Actually, I'm not sure any of the tools above would work; part of the problem I am sure is that the build.prop file was not only read only, but there wasn't an entry for the LCD Density - so if the apps work by simply retrieving and editing the property, they aren't going to work. I just edited the file directly with a text editor, saved, and restarted the phone. Some of the apps would then at least report the new value, but still didn't seem to successfully update it. I quit looking because I got the density I wanted (about 270, down from the native 320).

As for compatibility with other apps, if they don't quite look correct it is because they aren't written well, and a different density changing app isn't going to do you any good. Again, it's like changing the resolution on your computer - it doesn't matter how you change your resolution - once it's set it is what it is, and apps that don't accommodate it just aren't going to look good.

The Screen Optimization utility only seems to address apps that are written to a specific resolution - not pixel density. In this sense, the LCD Density is actually more like changing your computer's DPI - I didn't use that analogy first because more people are more familiar with changing a desktop's resolution. The fact is that LCD screens have a set resolution, and you cannot increase or decrease that resolution through software. The Nitro's extremely high resolution (1280x720) just isn't common enough in phones (most software would see it as a tablet) to be accounted for in all apps - particularly older ones. So, the screen optimization app that is built-in will automatically stretch apps to take up the entire 1280x720 pixels, even if the app only renders (for instance) 800x480 pixels .

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
haven't seen good pics of the BSE skin. so i took some of my phone and sharing.

****edit..... the screen protector on there is just some generic static cling one.. i'm waiting for my xo skin for the SP****

but the body is the BSE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
have it on mine as well, pretty sweet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDRFAN:
Is this a grippy feel, or smooth? I'm waiting on mine to come in
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
Grippy.

The back is a little weird Because of the texture. We'll see if the patches go away After a couple of day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdxgnd:
Got it on mine too. Can't complain for $5.00
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reynaldo28:
Looks nice! But you say the screen is grippy eh? That's a shame but we'll see how I find it!

Edit: Is this a Total Body Skin or just a Body Skin?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cdoan34:
does the skin come with a screen protector and does it completely cover the sides and bottom of the phone

i usually get a case with my phones but id be willing to try out a skin if it protects all the sides from minor scratching in my pocket.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
correction guys.

the bse itself is grippy. i didn't put the bse screen protector. i'm waiting for my XO skin for that...

edited OP.

previous experience

i had the bse on my nexus s and it is a little bit grippy on the screen but overall it doesn't make a difference. I am going to order a new set for my galaxy nexus today. BTW, they updated the instructions saying that you shouldn't use the soap mixture when applying the back cover plate because it will cause problems.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jason_25:
I have installed CWM on my Transformer already. I prefer to use a stock ROM that I modify for now.

I have downloaded the zips for 8.6.5.13 and 8.2.3.9 from Asus. I prefer to use 8.6.5.13 since it is the newest version of Honeycomb. When I DD the blob.app from 8.6.5.13 to mmcblk0p1 the system fails to start afterwards. The blob.app from 8.2.3.9 works fine but it is Honeycomb 3.0.1.

Does this have something do do with the kernel version? Can blob.LNX be flashed to mmcblk0p4? When I did that, nothing seemed to happen on the reboot.

Thanks a lot for any help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilstevie:
why are you flashing the individual parts of a blob? the whole blob goes to mmcblk0p4.

then the bootloader flashes all the pieces to their correct locations.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jason_25:
Thanks for the reply.

The reason I did not want to flash the entire blob was so I don't lose recovery.

EDIT: I am all set. The blob.HEADER is no longer needed. Just run the blobpack once to get the usage instructions. Once you have combined the EBT, LNX, and PT files flash the resultant blob to mmcblk0p4 and flash blob.APP to mmcblk0p1. I hope this helps someone who wants to do it all manually.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
I think you could just repack the blob with all the parts you want except blob.SOS. This will preserve your recovery. You might have to edit the blob.HEADER file. Do a diff with another header and there is a byte that changes with the number of parts that gets packed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilstevie:
The latest version generates the header; but no the header is static
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
Thanks, I'll have to recompile.

UPDATE

I will keep updating issues about Webtop on my website. I won't copy those analysis or finding to here to reduce redundancy and effort....:D

Demo Video

[YOUTUBE]5DGqvJw0FoA[/YOUTUBE]

What is this about?

In short, you can use this to activate Webtop mode and see the virtual pad on the phone with an HDMI cable only.

In long, this is a runtime MOD that can simulate the docking event of the HD dock so that the virtual pad will come up. Together with the hw.whisper trick, the Webtop option can then show up and being selected.

This mean if you set the hw.whisper manually, you could still see the Webtop option. Be sure to set this using root before plugging in the HDMI cable.

To make this ease of use and able to simulate the docking event, an APP has been written to do the runtime MOD for you.

This app requires ROOT privilege.

Why is it called Nebtop?

Well, everything needs a name.

HDMI Cable \ + Nebtop -> \Nebtop -> Webtop

For sure, the phone must have webtop built-in for this to work.

What is the difference of this MOD comparing to the existing system apk MOD?

Fenny's MOD was the first that allows exactly the same result for various Moto phones. That was the first important foundation for further improvement.

The runtime MOD done by Nebtop has the advantage of not changing anything persistently. So in the worst scenario the kernel will panic and cause reboot only.

Also, this MOD is trying to be universal, for different phones and ROMs that supports Webtop. Even it failed for kernel compatibility issues, if it can be done, it will be done.

Tested device

Razr (Tested by me)

Atrix, Atrix 2

Photon

Bionic

Droid 4

Feel free to try it on your Webtop workable device with an HDMI cable! As the least request, please report whether it works for you and what phone and ROM you're using so that I could keep this MOD by APP improved.

Download it here: https://sites.google.com/site/androidnothize/nebtop

Or search Nebtop in Market.

Enjoy! :cool:

If you think that it helps you and would like to support my work, you could always find the latest version from market which is a paid version.

Special thanks

Fenny for the first for the Webtop Via HDMI Without a Dock breakthrough.

Turl from the atrix dev team for the hw.whisper trick.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] elitegunslinger:
Just tried it out; although I was using the botched CDMA hacked webtop the trackpad display came up but no function; It does show that it is connected to a dock though which is a good step in the right direction.

Do you have the original webtop files available in a zip format to flash through CWM or possibly full ROM for CDMA Verizon?

* reloaded razrx rom; now webtop shows top left only of my screen but still no control from the phone itself

** reset phone; full screen but still no responsive phone pad

*** loaded nitro deodexed; still no response to the phone pad, displays fine but the new display comes up blank as the rest

**** loaded another stock rooted rom 744; no change in phonepad function; phonepad appears and can rotate, extent of function

CDMA Verizon

Kernel 2.6.35.7

EDIT:

Works fantastically on stock outside of the safe strap rom
[Motorola Droid RAZR] showdown_counts:
works like a charm man !!!!! thank you so much !!!!!!!! wow - thanks man
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 400757:
Ooooooooo my ROM is asia version.....

Do you have the logcat -v time files?

Although it's unrelated to the app, I'm interested to know how did it happen and any work around.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] elitegunslinger:
I am also having issues with ADB; I have to see if something isn't wrong with my device :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 400757:
Could you install SSHDroid and use WiFi to ssh to the device?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] elitegunslinger:
Yeah I can do that, what files do you need?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 400757:
Will need the logcat -v time when you loaded Nebtop and see the virtual pad on the phone, that cannot rotate or won't pop keyboard or have no effect when moving.......

Also try those home,back,setting and search keys.

And make sure you have a clean reboot before testing since sometimes webtop can fall into an unstable state as I've tried which will only be cleared after phone reboot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 400757:
Mind to tell which ROM are you using? It's for statistics purpose.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prking07:
This works 100% in my Razr runing Artic V1.5 ! Awesome work thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] showdown_counts:
Im using the stock Asia Rom. kernel is 2.6.35.7
[Motorola Droid RAZR] elitegunslinger:
I am unable to generate a log file for you; I even attempted adb shell within a terminal emulator on the phone; root@cdma_spyder:/# basically saying the device is offline, I reset the adb server a couple times and it didn't help.

What works:

Displays the virtual pad and rotates

What doesn't:

The screen becomes unresponsive, the display which mirrors the phones display is blank, and none of the virtual keys work, including the hard keys such as home, back, etc.

I have reset the phone and used multiple roms for CDMA however I can't seem to get it working. I have fixed permissions, each wipe I do data, cache, format system, and wipe dalvik cache (although it gives me an error about E: SD-ext).

If you have any suggestions to get the ADB service back up and recognizing itself I will gladly get you logcat files.

*Side Note: I know it isn't my PC drivers or my Mac; I attempted to get adb running on all including the terminal inside the phone; all say the device is offline, is it possible it has something to do with safestrap?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 400757:
I thought once installed SSHDroid, you could use ssh/PuTTY to access the terminal from PC, gather the log and redirect to a file, then finally scp to copy the file back to PC.

Or use another SwiFtp app for file transfer as the default install of SSHDroid failed to initiate the scp for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dcrazydan:
works perfect!!! thx :) on arctic 1.5....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] elitegunslinger:
The issue I am having also is when I attempt to log nothing is coming up. As if no events exist; I am not sure whats wrong. The only logcat command I know is adb shell logcat etc. ; what other command could I use?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nipit:

Thanks for your work. It works great. Is there any chance to use custom keyboard and to add arrows and middle mouse button?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] olegfusion:
I have a strange question, but just wondering. Is there any abilities to connect phone to usb and hdmi to laptop and use laptop as webtop? :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 400757:
This will need another round of research about what drives the virtual pad and how to enhance/modify it.

I feel that the virtual pad might not be part of the Android. If it is, Android must have multiple displays. :P

I think the easiest mid-point will be an android app that could properly route the events to the Webtop so that you could have any kind of customization EASIER if you expect to have the same benefit of Android's keyboard. But losing the "phone view" control.

Otherwise, solely adding the middle mouse and arrow key might be another MOD too, though currently I don't have the demand myself to push it forward.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 400757:
my netbook has a vga port that can't accept input video signal.....is there any laptop has an HDMI port that can be used to accept input signal and render on the monitor directly?

I don't have a laptop that has HDMI, so unable to perform preliminary testing.

The usb......do u mean to use this to let the phone "see" the "useful" hardware of the laptop such as keyboard and touchpad as a "virtual device" on webtop so that it's functionable?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] olegfusion:
A kind of that. But It mainly refers to installed system, and management for example of touchpad will go via usb cable by phone. It is just a crazy idea, because im not sure about input signal of hdmi and other things. Its kind of unreal I think.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] 400757:
This app will just do runtime MOD to the kernel to allow simulating loading and unloading of the hd dock.

If you're sure the unload have restored the hw.whisper to [] and dock state to 0 then it should be fine.

At the very least you could perform a reboot. No fear man.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 400757:
Is this the stock PortalApp and DockService?

And did you see the hw.whisper became [1] and dock state became 4 after tapping the "Load" button of Nebtop?

There are two ways:

1. Connect the HDMI cable first, then tap load from Nebtop.

or

2. Tap load from Nebtop then connect the HDMI cable.

For Razr, either case will show the Webtop option. After choosing the Webtop option, Webtop will be loaded and the virtual pad will be showed on the phone.

What is your case?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] nikdimas:
Thanks.

Does this also enables hdmi mirroring?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 400757:
Nope it won't magically enable HDMI mirror mode for phones that don't officially support it.

As I know, Atrix doesn't have mirror mode officially although Photon, which is believed the closest to Atrix, has it.

Since I've seen some Atrix user hope to use the mirror mode to play some kind of games and hope that it won't be laggy, you may perhaps seek advise from Photon user about what you actually want to do with mirror mode.

It would be very costly to just find out something that most probably you would know that it doesn't satisfy you.

As I feel a little bit slower when in HDMI mirror mode on Razr, the overhead of the HDMI mirror mode to the kernel should not be neglected.

So unless the game is not CPU intensive(such as that I've played a game in full screen HDMI mirror mode on Razr which is as smooth as on the phone), you should expect some lags....the easiest way to preview this is from a Photon phone user.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Leesam:
Tried this out today on my VZW RAZR with the latest OTA update. Works great with the trackpad on screen but I'm having an issue with bluetooth input lag.

If I'm in webtop mode with a bluetooth mouse/keyboard connected the screen trackpad is replaced with a dock clock and i get massive lag trying to type or move the pointer around.

It's a RII Mini bluetooth keyboard/trackpad combo and works flawlessly when i'm not in webtop mode. It works even after clicking load on Nebtop app and connecting HDMI but as soon as i get to the webtop desktop the input lags so badly it becomes unusable. If i can manage to move the pointer over and toggle bluetooth off the trackpad appears on the phone and all lag is gone.

I'd really like to use the bluetooth keyboard and mouse as that would make this app a complete replacement for the webtop dock wherever a monitor is available.

Does anyone know why this lag would be happening?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Leesam:
Just tried webtop with a Logitech bluetooth mouse. Got the same laggy result. The trackpad app stayed active for the keyboard though. I can use the on screen trackpad without lag at the same time as the bluetooth mouse is connected.

Tried mirror mode as i was typing this. It gets the same laggy results as webtop mode even with Nebtop uninstalled. I'm going to post about this in the Motorola owners forum as it doesn't seem hack related at all to me anymore.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tk76:
Quick question:

How is video performance on Nebtop (or using the dock)?

I use a lapdock, and streaming video is un-watchable (choppy), while it works great in mirror mode through HDMI. I assume this is because while android video uses the GPU, when in dock(Linux) mode (Nebtop/HD Dock/Lapdock) flash and HTML5 is all handled by the CPU without GPU assistence- or at least that is what I think happens.

For example, I can send 480P through HDMI in mirror mode and it is completely smooth. But in Lapdock even all video (280P/360P/480P) is choppy. This is definitely the case watching video through Firefox and to some extent even using the full-screen "phone" display while in lapdock.

Do others have the same experience using nebtop, or is this just a lapdock issue? Any suggestions, or is this simply a limitation of the hardware. It is a shame, because there is a lot more flexibility of video sources in webtop mode such as Hulu and proxy switching to watch UK TV from the US.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Zeljko1234:
Experience is the same for me and is not lapdock issue. Maybe new version of webtop is better and use GPU?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Golgo:
So is nobody able to use this with a bluetooth mouse and kb?

Great work btw, but until BT works ok I'm having a hard time seeing the usefulness of webtop.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ronis_BR:
I tried many videos from YouTube in Firefox and it was very nice, including 1080p videos. Unfortunately, I don't have the hdmi cable here to test it more carefully.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tk76:
Wow, and 1080p in Firefox? I struggle with 280p in Hulu.

Would you mind checking how Hulu performs in Firefox and let me know if it is fluid? Maybe webtop works better through a dock/nebtop than on a lapdock.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kermitdefroghere:
Picked up a Microsoft bluetooth mouse yesterday ('Notebook Mouse 5000'), and it works great 99% of the time.

Very occasionally I get a lag which would be very annoying... but it's definitely the exception.

The bluetooth keyboard I'm using is the Logitech Tablet keyboard.

I'm fairly surprised with how well everything works.

Still trying to figure out how much performance impact there is when multi-tasking (using music player etc.),... but very pleasantly surprised so far.

i have tried watching online videos in 720 and it is a bit choppy and the quality is definitely not 720. looks more like 240. I guess we just have to wait for tegra 3 moto phone.

what is the performance like on ubuntu mod?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kermitdefroghere:
Turns out the 1% lag which I had (possibly closer to 10%) was caused by the combo of the MS mouse and Logitech keyboard (bluetooth).

Have gone to a MS 5000 bluetooth keyboard and am 100% lag free.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kermitdefroghere:
ok I'm confused now.

Woke up this morning and my MS 5000 mouse was laggy again. Worse than with the Logitech keyboard.

So, I unpaired the keyboard, re-paired,... and the lag is completely gone again.

I didn't fully power off either keyboard or mouse,... so they likely went to 'sleep' overnight,... and when automatically reconnecting,... perhaps they each grab the same channel or something?

I'll see if actually powering off the kb & mouse make a difference (avoiding sleep).

Anyways, for now (for me), the 'fix' is to unpaid/re-pair,... but I don't think that's a long term fix.

Might have to replace one device with a USB alternative.

weird.
