No, the laptop also has outputs, you can't combine output with output.

If you would have Linux on your desktop-station you could create a second screen-device with a VNC-Server, run a second X-server on that screen and display the screen through your local network with ubuntu on the laptop.

BUT then you have 2 choices how to interact with your second X-server

#1 with the laptops keyboard an mouse

#2 you could pipe your PC interfaces to the laptop through network, but it might be a little tricky to switch between the X-servers

AND with crappy windows something like that will not work i think..

-> Final answer: NO

[Ok, you might find a win-program that allows to pipe the output of a second monitor an a VNC-server, that would solve the problem. But i think something like that doesn't exist]

Greetings

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
it wont work like you described but like the above person mentioned you can access the PC with vnc software. what you will have to see is if you can find a vnc server that can emulate a second display and extend the desktop to it so it doesn't just mirror the primary display. it is possible in theory to program but I dont know if it exists.

another option would be a USB video capture card for the laptop but ya gotta research which ones work with Linux. also a second monitor is so cheap and easy to come by you are just making thins hard for the sake of making things hard. if you pickup a second display you can use a vnc server on the laptop instead and have the option the access Linux that way. or forget the laptop and create a virtual machine provided you have a bunch of ram available.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
Your feeding this op in the wrong section
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
last I checked I found this thread in general. but if you mean its not infuse or android related then I guess you're right. this could have been asked on a Ubuntu or Microsoft forum.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] -schumi-:
Ah. Ok.

I'm so sorry that i tried to give the OP some information about his problem. I will do this never again, I promise!

Seriously?!

YOU are the one with the 3k8 posts, mister senior member. Exactly YOU should know how to move the thread into the right section or inform a mod about this. (And delete post #2 #3 #4 #7 #8 (and remove this part in my post))

"whuhu wrong section.. my mum will come right over here.." thats not what i expect from a member with your experience about moving in this forum.

Greetings

the noob with just 2 posts..

PS: And YOU with your 3k8 posts should know how annoying it is when someone says exactly one sentence and his reply fills the whole screen

@Topic: What might work also:

You could try to start the vnc-server with 2 screens. The 1. (left) monitor will be displayed as regular. The second (right) is only "virtual". Then you should be able to display the second one on the laptop (But i don't know how to cut out the second one from the whole vncstream)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tazbo28:
I really didnt expect anyone to reply, but any help is needed. I felt like this forum is familiar to me now and I was sure you guys had some great ideas, with you being devs and all. And it seemed like a simple question to ask. Wasnt tryin to spam the forum honestly.

That said, I have tried to "force" my windows 7 to extend the desktop to another monitor even though there isnt one plugged in. But it wont let me save the changes once i set them. I imagine that if i were to install a virtual video driver that maybe i could do it. But its slowly becoming more trouble. I only wanted to do this because I have a old laptop that I just installed ubuntu on. And ive seen people use there laptops as second monitors through cables. There is a famous cnet video of a guy doing it using windows xp and an xp laptop. And it worked perfectly.

idk. I see this program called maxivista. Im thinking of running this under winehq. apparently it works. although you have to pair it with Synergy for mouse actions. And it costs 40 bucks =/
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
Yea... that's what I meant dani ...no disrespect to you... just didn't want op thinking that he posted in the right forum.... should have been in android general discussion is all I was getting at... not an infuse related topic. Didn't want the mod shutting him down before he got his answer. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Kwipper:
I made this because the existing rom (package_us2.3.5.tar.md5) being distributed around the fourms isn't working right for devices like mine.

Your phone should be rooted prior to doing this.

Make sure you have the same device info as mine before proceeding. I will not be responsible if you decide to flash this to a device that does not match my own. You have been warned.

DOWNLOAD HERE: http://www.sendspace.com/file/1y2ogi

This is for the Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 (USA) (YP-G1CWYXAA)

Model Number: YP-G1

Firmware Version: 2.3.5

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-G1UEKI8-CL562400 se.infra@sep-59 #2

Build number: GINGERBREAD.UEKI8

Steps for flashing.

1.) Attach USB Cable and Put your device in Downloading mode (Hold Power + Vol Down)

2.) Download and run Odin 1.85

3.) Click on the button marked PDA and select the file named "yp-g1cwyxaa.tar" that you downloaded from the link above.

4.) Make sure that ONLY "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are checked. (NO OTHER OPTION SHOULD BE CHECKED!!)

5.) Click on "Start" and wait for the process to finish. The process should take about a minute or two and finish with a green box saying "PASS!"

6.) When it has successfully finished, the device itself should reset. At this time you may unplug your USB cable.

7.) OPTIONAL: Press menu button > Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset (This will reboot your device, enter recovery mode, wipe all settings and reset everything to defaults, and then reboot your device once more automatically.)

8.) Enjoy your 100% working Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 (YP-G1CWYXAA)

This is my first time doing something like this. I hope this works for all of you. Let me know if you have problems. Feel free to click the "Thanks" button if it works for you. =)

BTW. What would be the proper term for what I have created? Is this a "Stock ROM", "Recovery ROM", "Stock Firmware" I have heard it called many things.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] logo20heli:
I downloaded and installed your stock rom and it worked perfectly. The clock works find and the widgets that weren't working before are now working.

The only step I skipped was step 7 because I wanted to keep my apps/data. And I'm certainly following step 8. :)

Thanks a lot for your effort Kwipper (and the thanks button was clicked).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Kwipper:
I am happy to see that this is working. I am actually quite surprised with myself that I was able to do this. About 10 days ago, I didn't even have an android device, or know anything about the platform. =)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] logo20heli:
Don't be so modest. You've solved a problem that I've had for over a month now.

I'm curious how you did this. Did you use adb from your PC to run the 'dd' command? I ran the 'dd' command using the Terminal Emulator app. Maybe this is why my factory.rfs didn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Kwipper:
I did a bit of searching around the fourms and came across this post.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15804185&postcount=15

Then I used a program called Cygwin. Used it to navigate over to where my files were stored and typed in these commands.

tar -H ustar -c factoryfs.rfs zImage > package_name.tar

md5sum -t package_name.tar >> package_name.tar

mv package_name.tar package_name.tar.md5

Then I flashed it using odin.

I also noticed that if you were using the previous "package_us2.3.5.tar.md5" file to restore from, the MD5 of my file would not match up, and Odin would give off an error. So I removed the .MD5 from the extension of my filename and it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Kwipper:
I was wondering. Do you think I should include the .pit file as well? Mabye as a separate download?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
They are all right here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20259805

Important: if you are going to flash this ROM, make sure you do NOT choose repartition in Odin with the PIT file. This only contains the /system and the kernel, so repartioning the whole device will make your device unable to boot past recovery. Still waiting for a full stock recovery ROM with all the partitions and can use the PIT file...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WT Ho:
If I understand correctly, your ROM is rooted. If that's correct, you don't want to call that "STOCK ROM". Stock ROM usually refers to something exactly as it is shipped by manufacturer. I may call it "STOCK+ROOT" to indicate that things like superuser are already injected into the ROM.

EDIT: Reading your post again. I don't know why I had an impression that your ROM is rooted:confused: I suppose you did a dump using dd via adb shell, then it should be a STOCK ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Kwipper:
Hmmm... Is there anyway to confirm if it's rooted or not? I suppose that if I remove the root and then reflash it using odin, it should remain unrooted right?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Kwipper:
You know, I managed to dump other files as well. I wonder if I should include them as well? Here are the files I managed to extract.

boot.bin

cache.rfs

dbdata.rfs

factoryfs.rfs

param.lfs

recovery.bin

Sbl.bin

zImage

yp-g1.pit
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WT Ho:
Those files are very useful as well, particularly for someone who badly damaged their device's file system. e.g. the Froyo ROM here has everything (except pit file), but the Gingerbread only has zImage and factory.rfs.

Although they are useful, many stock roms only include zImage and factoryfs.rfs. One reason that I can think of is RISK. The more partitions you flash, the more likely you screw up in the process.

Actually, you can post both versions for people to choose.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
Yeah, just imagine what it would be like to have your computer crash while you were flashing the bootloader! :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Tecardo:
Can you make a backup of that?

so i can test if it works, cause my device is bricked at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Woah there, careful what you post! unless you do a factory reset before dumping, the cache.rfs, dbdata.rfs, and data.rfs should NOT be included in a rom as they contain all your personal information!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Tecardo:
I know... For that i need a clear one...

Sorry, but there is no other way i found out.

I know that there is all Private Data on it...

But for me, my device is bricked with an completly empty /data folder.

All other folders include the normal content.

Thanks,

if someone can post it.

Mike Leitner
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WT Ho:
I don't think you need data partition. In normal operation, you can format the /data partition clean and the system will recreate your new settings there.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Arcarsenal:
For those of you that have used this, can you confirm that this removes root? I going to guess it does.

It's not really a problem since you can use super one click again, but I just wanted to be sure.

Thanks again for doing this, Kwipper.

hey i need to flash factoryrfs form odin. but im not sure how, any help?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
Tar it and then flash it with Odin just like how you flash a ROM.

Use terminal (or cygwin for Windows) :

cd (directory of factoryfs.rfs)

tar -H ustar -c factory.rfs > something.tar
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Tecardo:
Can you make such a ROM? I really think, it will work for me…

Plenty of trusted apps out there, that's a standard warning for all keyboard and speech to text software on Android. The major keyboards in the market have comprehensive privacy policies.

Which also means block updating of language packs. Not a good advice.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jerkwad:
It is perfectly sound advice. The language packs included work just fine. If he is going to be that paranoid he can: backup the data for SwiftKey in TiBu, clear the SwiftKey data, disable the firewall update the language pack, reenable firewall, and then tell SwiftKey to relearn from txt msgs. And probably restore data from TiBu but I am not sure if that will restore the language pack too.
