[Atrix 4G General] jjwatmyself:
From what I understand so far, /system/app/homescreen.apk (default launcher) and /system/app/PortalApp.apk (runs the default launcher in Tablet mode over HDMI) are the android applications that control the automated toggle into Tablet UI over HDMI known as Webtop 3. The /osh partition is a place for additional storage and mounted as /vendor (I think) by Moto and symlinked under /system (I think). There is not too much rocket science at play here. It isn't like the previous version that fired up another linux instance into memory.
[Atrix 4G General] krystianp:
It turns out that fb1 (second framebuffer) is acting as typical framebuffer. I tried to run archlinux with x on it and it almost worked;) At least it connected to it. On fb0 there is no connection, as tegra2 doesn't have typical framebuffer. So maybe it would be possible to get webtop2 or something like that to work on ics.
[Atrix 4G General] Rhadamg:
You are correct. The webtop (aka OSH or Vendor) is nothing more than storage for some /system/ files, nothing to do with Webtop or Tablet mode actually.
[Atrix 4G General] Bert.C:
I was having a look at portalapp.apk yesterday and this is where the resolution comes from. It states that webtop using the lapdock is 1366 x 768 iirc? That is actually in the code.

It also compiles a list of up to 14 selectable resolutions.
[Atrix 4G General] krystianp:
There is a constant in portalapp with lapdock screen resolution but it's used just for some if statement. There are no screen mode definitions. Portalapp communicates with libportaljni.so to get info about hdmi state, current resolution, dock type etc. It also changes modes thru it, but only by sending one byte code (eg. 0xd for 1366x768). I've looked inside libportaljni.so using ida, but i couldn't find any tables with resolutions. And it looks to me that even libportaljni.so is just sending simple mode number to libhdmi.so. But i'm not an expert, especially in arm machine code, so these are only my guessings. Btw. You can find 1366 and other modes in libhdmi.so but i haven't looked closely at it yet.
[Atrix 4G General] Rhadamg:
Can you help us about how you open/decompile those files, please? Maybe I can help, I have a lot of free time...
[Atrix 4G General] krystianp:
I use Apk Multi-Tool beta version. It can decompile/compile apk (one of many features). Search google for dalvik bytecode to better understand smali files. I haven't had time to read it yet;) but it's a real help.
[Atrix 4G General] Rhadamg:
Oh thanks, but I mean the libs, not the apks :cowboy:
[Atrix 4G General] krystianp:
I know only ida. There's a demo version which can disassemble arm code, not sure it can assemble. I saw also disassembler for arm (used to decode canon 7d firmware), some hungarian guy did it, but i couldn't download it.
[Atrix 4G General] Slymayer:
Do you think there are many chances you can get us a working lapdock by disassembling portalapp.apk or the libs ?
[Atrix 4G General] krystianp:
Not sure if we can get working native lapdock resolution. I hope we can get at least 1280x720. From webtop2 we know that lapdock can be switched to different than native resolution. So I still have hope.
[Atrix 4G General] Slymayer:
Sounds cool. Even if the best scenario would be a second leak or the ability to edit the apk/libs to have the native lapdock resolution. :p
[Atrix 4G General] jjwatmyself:
Something big is brewing

Many of you may be aware of the CM10 Tablet UI for Lapdock tutorial that I maintain. Obviously, this is separate to the work to use Motorola's Webtop 3 on the Atrix. However, something big is brewing on the HDMI, Lapdock and HD dock front. Details can be found at the link below.

You would need to test. But if you are new to any of this I strongly caution you on making changes to your device unless you are able / willing to re flash...

[General Questions and Answers] Amar__:
Hello guys.

I installed Slim Bean 4.1.1 version(3.0.31 Semaphore) few months ago(from this

THREAD

) on my Galaxy S I9000, and everything worked really well, until last week.

First problem- my speakerphone started to automaticly turn on on every phone call, and my screen sometimes used to rotate randomly after I turn display on. I couldn't fix this, but I think somehow my phone turned on the dock mode, but I didn't know how to switch it off. I also couldn't connect my phone with computer, when I connected it, it just charged battery. And this lasted about for a week, until today. Today everything came back to normal, speakerphone wasn't activated on calls, and I think screen stopped rotating when screen was off, but when I wanted to charge my batter, the phone didn't show any signs of charging, like I didn't put charger in. I'm left with 4% of the battery, I tried to charge it through pc cable, but It didn't work either.

So, is there a solution, can anyone help me?

I forgot to mention, I never updated Slimbean, it's still on 4.1.1. version.

Thank you in advance, and sorry for my bad english.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Could be a bad battery. Try using the phone on A/C power, with no battery installed, & see if you get the same weird behavior.
[General Questions and Answers] Amar__:
You mean connected to charger, without battery at all?

It won't turn on like that at all. I never knew that was even possible tbf.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Maybe some devices won't, but AFAIK, most devices should power on & be functional, which doesn't help diagnose your problem.
[General Questions and Answers] Amar__:
Now it's working, I fixed it somehow, I pulled battery out couple of times, and did couple of restarts, so it's finally charging. And now it's back to old problems where my speakerphone turns on automaticaly on every phone call.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
I get the feeling that the problem's gonna come back. 1st priority should be to charge the battery fully.
[General Questions and Answers] Amar__:
I did that last night. What's next? :laugh:
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
I'm guessing it's either a bad motherboard, or a bad battery. Be prepared for the worst.
[General Questions and Answers] Amar__:
Battery is working well(at the moment), so I don't see how could damaged baterry affect software problems such as automaticaly turning on the speakerphone, and not being able to connect phone with PC.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
You'd be surprised what abnormal voltage levels can do to electronic devices.
[General Questions and Answers] Amar__:
Okay, I'll probably change it in few days.

Now, I have other problem.. I wanted to install Slim Bean 2.7, but when I enter recovery mode, do full wipe, installation aborts around 26% saying, "E: Error in /sdcard/Slim-i9000-2.7.0-OFFICIAL.zip (status 0) ", and above "installation aborted".
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
You sure that ROM was intended for your device? Sounds like the difference between update-script and updater-script. Different devices use different methods to flash ROMs.
[General Questions and Answers] Amar__:
The file name is Slim-i9000-2.7.0-OFFICIAL, it is the right ROM surely?
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
I have no idea. You need to check the thread from where you downloaded it.
[General Questions and Answers] Amar__:
I will, I need 2 or 3 more posts. Anyway, tnx for your time friend.

I have been looking into VisionTek Candyboard wireless or 3-in-1 Wireless Remote Controller Keyboard for Sony PS3(if it would work), but wondering if there is a better one and if there is also one that would work as a touch screen just as if i was touching the gs3 instead of actually touching the screen vs the track pad on the candyboard.

i downloaded and installed the MTP driver, which got my computer to recognize my phone before i restore it. but now its not working and i dont see it listed in Device Manager. whats weird is that when i connect my S3 to my computer, the phone doesnt give any notifications that the phone is connected to USB like it used to before. and it also doesnt give me the 2 options of connecting by either MTP or Camera. all it does is charge my phone. how do i fix this?

You also might get the pdanet usb driver and install that in your PC in order to get the usb to recognize an internet access via USB.

You should be able to download the USB driver from PDANet's website.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] b0urne83:
My gf with xperia neo v and latest original ICS version (I think 4.0.3 but not sure and can't check right now) is reporting me that when someone sends her a sms when she's her cell turned off, when she turns it back on and reads the sms, this is displaying the current time of receiving, not the actual time & date of sending.

I.e: I write her at 11 P.M but she's already asleep and phone is off. When the day after at 8.00 AM she turns the phone back on and receives the sms, the date & time is not 11 PM of the previous day but current day 8.00 AM.

Carrier is Vodafone Italy, I'm too with vodafone and other devices (mine for example) don't have this behaviour.

What could be the reason?

Some of the custom ROMs have an option to display either the time received or the time sent. If this is such an important issue (and your gf won't mind getting some awesome new features), you can install her some of those new ROMs. It will impress her. ;)

On the Neo V, I found that all JellyBean ROMs have that feature, e.g. Paranoid Android, CM 10, etc. I would assume it would be the same for Neo.

what to do to flash a new kernel on Sony? Need root, s-off etc.?

Well, I don't to root and flash a custom rom on her cell phone while it's still under warranty. And moreover without being able to update to the official 4.0.4. I found out that her cellphone has serial no. 1254 - 3173 that hasn't been updated yet (nobody with this serial is able to update via Pc companion).

Thanks

[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Well a lot of really great applications need to be run on a rooted device.

For instance some RAM boost apps, certain security apps, antivirus apps.

A few games like rooted devices also.

...etc.

Others will chime in here shortly with better answers...
[Asus Transformer TF700] LRiley:
and ad block apps that usually block ads in other apps too
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Root gives you full control over everything in /data and /system. So you can backup and restore all your apps and data (e.g. using Titanium Backup) or add/delete/replace system apps (at the cost of losing ability to do OTA upgrades, except if you keep a backup of the original files and restore them before doing the upgrade). You can run Browser2RAM and other nice hacks and customize your system while it is running.

What you cannot do with root only: custom recovery or custom kernels. No custom recovery means no easy way to modify or repair the system from "outside", the only thing you can do with the stock recovery is restore the complete system ROM. No custom kernel means no advanced modifications, e.g. DPI changes, over/underclocking, or driver-level stuff.

Just my two cents

There are a lot of great "lowlevel" networking apps like dSplot http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1914699 (there are a bunch of others, zanti, facesniff, etc, google is your buddy) which if you're into those type of things, are REALLY handy danddy.

The adblocking can't be praised enough, whenever I come across an unrooted-unadblocked device it makes my head spins.

Certain file manager apps (Total Commander, Beta Explorer to name a few) arguably takes advantage of root to squeeze better performance or features (personally, I didn't notice anything faster nor slower, but I dig it when total commander says it's being granted root access when I move files, it make me feel special like that).

Browser2ram is super-freaking-amazing (check this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1923285)

If you're a linux fly guy, having busybox around makes this tablet way more handy and powerful (I'm ssh'ing into it, doing all bunch of thingies)

You can use somewhat more sophisticated VPN-alike routing like ssh-tunneling from your tablet through your home (or amazon EC2, like in my case) on a per-app or device-wide basis (e.g: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.sshtunnel&hl=en there are others)

Various app-backing things (yes, titanium is fine, I meant along the line of DataSync: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quintstoffers.DataSync&hl=en)

IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING you can tweak and play with various scripts and config files lying around though I'd be extremely careful with that as it can brick your device, prevent you from OTAing or punch a hole through the universe, ymmv (I personnaly had some issues with build.props which the fine gentlemen here on xda helped me resolve)

There are plenty of other reasons, rooting really makes android in general, and this device specifically, shine like a crazy diamond.

Cheers.
