[MOD by APP] Nebtop - Universal HDMI Webtop hack

This MOD by APP is different than the existing MOD by replacing system apks:
1. No risk of brick
2. Ease of use
3. Universal hack for phones and ROMs that has Webtop
Since this app is intended to support multiple devices, see the original post from the Razr thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404625 .
Please report the test result in this thread. Whether success or fail and your device, ROM, etc.
It'd be nice to use the "Send" option in the app if it failed.
Thanks!

Nice find! I hope this does work.

great work.although my Atrix2 is soft brick,.

Hope there will be firmware upgrade soon so that you can recover from it.
This is also why I tried to do this for my own use in the first place. I'm afraid of soft bricking the Razr too.

Did this soft brick your phone?

I think fantasy_gu is saying that he would love to try this but his phone is already softbricked from a previous issue

Got myself an HDMI cable today finally
I installed the mod on my Stock-rooted Atrix 2 and I can confirm it is working
The only thing I missed was the by the Webtop-help advertised "Entertainment Center" (This would probably be the more useful feature for me personally )

i get a screen pop up but doesn't say webtop. Just says view calendar agenda or dismiss option. Not sure what to do. I want the same thing i can do to TV on my laptop.

How do you connect your phone to the Laptop???
Can your laptop receive HDMI input signal?

As a person who has used this!!!
Just a word of warning:
This app totally screwed up my phone. I installed it and was using it just fine for a couple of hours. Then all of a sudden, the phone becomes unresponsive. I unplugged the HDMI cable, and it rebooted. I didn't think anything of this. Just found it a little odd. Since then, any time I reboot the phone, it is reverted to the same state it was in right before the crash. The text message I had not yet read is re-received as new. All app updates are reverted. All new apps aren't installed. All new texts (since then) are gone. Apps are force-closing left and right. Be VERY careful with this app. I'm not sure it's really ready for prime-time, even now.

I know that you've experienced this a few days ago from my routine Googling but didn't know you haven't find a way back yet.
As from your original post, you were using Webtop at that moment and all in a sudden with the HDMI cable unplugged, then the phone rebooted.
At least a panic log is needed to verify whether this is related to Nebtop, or the stock ROM+Webtop.
As Nebtop has no listening of the HDMI cable plugging/unplugging event, it should had done nothing at that moment.
And your current state sounds like the file system is corrupted. If I have no way to fix this, I would try to backup the current state first, then try to revert to the stock. (not sure if Atrix 2 has any stock image leaked )
Finally, I'd like to help to identify the actual cause of the reboot, only if you could look up the kernel panic log at this location /data/dontpanic/apanic_console (this is the path for one of the Motorola phone, it could be changed for Atrix 2).

I already have the webtop mod posted by Fenny, what is the difference with this one? Does this one work through a runtime + mirror? It allows on screen touch and keyboad?

The feature of Nebtop is pretending the HD Dock.
The requirement to use Nebtop is a rooted phone.
The disadvantage of Nebtop is none so far, therefore the advantages are no persistence change, no intrusive modification to anything, no risk of brick.
Yes, like using the HD Dock, the on screen touch and keyboard is working by using Nebtop.

Can I install nebtop over my existing hack by fenny? I have no onscreen touchscreen or mouse control with the fenny hack. Also I can't seem to find the xorg.conf file anywhere, I'm on the supercharged v5 rom. Based on 2.3.6

I haven't tried personally.
Nebtop could only make it work if it would work for a real HD Dock.

well i installed nebtop on v5 supercharged rom and its working fine, replying now from nebtop using the on screen keyboard and mouse. only thing i notice is i cant use the mobile apps from nebtop, probably because the keyboard is using the screen. atrix 2

I'm not sure what do you mean by "cant use the mobile apps from nebtop".
Do you mean from Webtop? Have you watched the video I've made? Maybe I can imagine better if you would tell the difference(not can vs can't but some concrete examples....like when clicking on the "Phone Manager", there is no response....or the "Phone Manager" window is blank...etc) you see.

Phone manager was blank in webtop. I could see the tabs such as text messaging and adw launcher but no display. This was happening both when launching via nebtop and also via fenny hack. I did a phone restart and the problem went away so everything works perfect now.
The only other thing I noticed is the phone seemed to get extra hot, though the phone seems to run a bit on the hot side anyway so its probably normal.
One difference that I notice between fenny and nebtop is nebtop says connected to HD display and fenny hack says connected to HDMI cable. This is probably why the trackpad and mouse work in nebtop and not with the fenny hack.

Yeah, this and nebtop don't work for me. Nothing pops up so I can view my phone on my HP laptop. I did the adb push and stuff. No go. I don't get the option for Webtop.
At least, this is my understanding of this? To use it on your laptop without a dock-right?

Nope, this is so that you can connect your phone to say a monitor or TV with an HDMI cable and use the phone to control webtop.

BlueTooth Keyboard Sleeps

Hello, I recently was looking into buying a cheap laptop or tablet or something to browse the web on my tv, then i ran across this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155412
Which helped me connect a blue tooth keyboard and mouse then i ran a cable to tv. Everything works as it should except for when the keyboard is not in use for say 3-5 mins it goes to sleep and will not wake up. I am forced to go into BT settings and pair and connect it, which sometimes takes 2 or 3 tries. The mouse can go to sleep and wake up fine without having to re-pair it. I even restarted phone and the mouse worked right after reboot without me having to touch the phone, the keyboard however does not. A friend of mine tried pairing the keyboard to his HTC EVO 3d and it would wake up and reconnect without a problem so it must be the rom im using? I dont know. I tried using the stock rom, stable cm7 and a nightly cm7 and hellfire ICS rom. The ICS rom worked the best as far as keyboard waking up but the mouse on ICS does not have the shortcuts it does in GB (right click in gb goes back, right click in ics does the same thing as left click?why?) I also tried using trinity kernel for stable cm7 to see if that would help, but no.I just want to be able to leave the room for a moment then come back without having to reconnect this stupid keyboard.
I bought the microsoft BT mouse mentioned in the above post and i bought an ipad keyboard like mentioned in the same post, I dunno why im having so much trouble. I created new thread because the one i linked to is long dead. Thank you for your input!

link to the exact keyboard model your using.
ive been doing this since the functionality was built into cm7, and was using a keyboard since i got the phone. Neither has any issues.
Try setting the phone to never sleep (set timeout to like 6 hours or something)
i see you said its a keyboard for an ipad, sometimes they might use a different protocol that does not line up exactly with how all HID's (human interface devices) should work. so the keyboard might sleep, but the command it sends to wake up and re-connect is not getting understood by our phones.
if you can try another bluetooth keyboard and see if the issue persists.
EDIT: and never be afraid to necro an old thread, as long as you read it and its relevant, it saves us from clicking on another link.

I cant find a link to the manufacture's website and the box it came in doesn't even have a brand name on it or anything, just some cheap keyboard from china. The box does say its for ipad2/iphone 4.0 OS/pc/smartphone/htpc/android 2.1 so i kinda figured it would of worked.
I have model K1280, this is where i bought it
http://www.amazon.com/NIKINGSTORE-B...O4GI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334349017&sr=8-1
for some reason, some of the reviews there state that the keyboard they received has rechargeable battery built in, but mine does not. Mine also came with slightly different box than what was pictured.
After i got home from work today i turned on the mouse and keyboard and both connected to phone with no problem. But still a problem when keyboard goes to sleep, so i thought what if i just flip the switch off then back on seeing how it connected fine when i first turned it on. That didn't work what i don't get is I've tried the keyboard on 2 other devices and it worked without a problem. I don't have spare bluetooth devices laying around, like another keyboard lol so I guess my only option is to give this thing to my mom who has an ipad and buy a new one. May I ask which keyboard you use? Thanks for your reply

[Q]Katkiss4.4.3 28 stable some hardware keys unrecognised

Hi,
Just installed the latest stable version and all is good except that some of the keys on the docked keyboard no longer work. Keys that don't seem to work are space, m, comma,l and - on a UK layout. Has anyone else come across this got any ideas how to fix or investigate?
Cheers

Wipe everything and reflash ROM & Gapps, if you still have the problem, it could be the dock failing
Make sure you wipe 100% of everything apart from External storage, that way you are absolutely sure there is nothing left behind

I also just installed Katkiss and have a different problem
I have a TF101 that runs pretty good but I was perturbed by youtube constantly buffering and Brighthouse video was jumpy. So I took the plunge and loaded the stable version of 4.4.3. All seems to be working fine except that now Brighthouse has no video and no audio. Youtube seems to be fixed. One other app is hanging and that is the Nikon document reader. For those who may not know what Brighthouse App is: Brighthouse is my internet and cable provider. The app allows me to watch TV on any mobile device in my home network. Pretty cool. It was the main reason for the upgrade and now its totally gone! Ironic! I don't know if there are codec apps that I need or what. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Permissive?

Sorry I'm very to new all this stuff. I barely managed to root my Note Pro 12.2 a month or 2 ago, even then I did manage lose all my data.
But anyways, I recently got an OTG cable to plug my Xbox One controller into my Note Pro, and it seems to work fine when I pair it up with JoystickCenter (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoygolddemo&hl=en)
However some apps don't support controllers, but JoystickCenter has a Touch Emulation feature. When I try to enable it I get an error Can't access dev/uinput
I looked into this and found some info on it - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/pokes-android-apps/sME_vV9pPcE/K-eTQFY_TpMJ
Which led me to this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53343683
I tried everything there, but I still believe SELinux is in Enforce mode :\
So I was wondering about the third fix listed, about installing a custom kernal.
I do see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772908
I would be willing to attempt (It does say Knoxless, so I would assume it would fix my issue I'm having?) however I have no idea how to flash ROMs.
I looked up some guides about recovery mode and bootloaders, but I still have no idea what I'm doing.
I have seen some recent posts about not enough development for the NP 12.2, but I did find this http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/224
Maybe some people who know what they are talking about could set me straight on all this, and if it's possible for me to get around my issue?
Thanks in advance

The ROM you link to contains the stock kernel & won't get you any further forward. http://graemehill.ca/turning-a-galaxy-note-pro-into-a-linux-laptop/ seems to be the most promising source of advice I've found so far. If you have the same device as the author you can use the kernel he compiled. Unfortunately I don't think I do & am wary of trying to set up my own build environment being fairly comprehensively clueless, so I'm hoping someone with at least some experience will pick this up.
Do post back here if you find a solution. I'm after a permissive kernel for the same reason you describe.

New issue: Wifi randomly turninf off (without USB beeing disconnected) - PX5 MTCD

Hi there,
despite the issue, that my radio in disconnecting USB (incl. Wifi, randomly, especially when it is colder) - which I tried to fix by replacing the USB chip to a GL852G - I now have a new issue since some days:
Now, my radio also disconnects Wi-Fi randomly without turning on again, while USB itself is not interuppted.
That issue is very new to me.
I installed a newer MCU some days ago (3.13 and 3.17) as this fixed an issue with the Bluetooth App automatically opening at the bottom of the screen when making a phone call.
I did not went back to the previous MCU yet (which was a 3.04 I think), as I don't think the issue is related to this. After MCU upgrade, I didn't have the above mentioned issue since more than a week.
Anyone having a similiar or same issue?
Maybe anony can confirm, MCU > 3.x having a wifi issue?
Thanks a lot!
Christian

Hi Christian,
I had the same issue. In the beginning I was able to compensate the issue with an automation app. (If WLAN turns off -> Turn on) After some time I couldn't activate the WLAN at all without restarting the radio. At some point, I could not do that anymore. Then I looked for a working LTE-Stick, but quickly understood that there is NO working 4G-Stick. Only a few UMTS sticks work. Via XDA-Developer found out that there are 4G sticks that are recognized as USB-to-Ethernet devices. Then I bought the HUAWEI E3372 LTE Surfstick. However, this does not work out-of-the-box with the radio. After a lot of manual work and learning-by-doing (installing an unofficial firmware), I managed to make it work now. The only disadvantage is that I no longer have a hotspot for other devices in the car.
Best regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Appreciate your answer, many thanks.
I am running hal9k ROM. If you have more detailed instructions, it works be great if you could share them with me.
Meanwhile I am trying to get a replacement device, as it is still under warranty and was bought in uk.
Thank you!

Fellow suffer as well.
Any chance of a link or hint of a guide to modify the E3372 stick?

Modifying E3372 was a tough stuff, actually. A lot of try-and-error. At one point I even thought to have bricked the stick.
Anyway, I got all information from following thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../real-3g-4g-usb-modem-sticks-px5-px4-t3898344
On page 3, a link to a russian site is provided:
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=883219&st=3620#entry66908061
I do not speak russian, so I used the DeepL Translator in order to translate everything.
To sum up, you need to install a modified webui und firmware which supports ethernet-over-usb (CDC) mode. The Versions I am using are:
E3272s-153_Update_22.491.09.00.00_M_AT_05.10
WebUI 17.100.17.00.143
https://www.lteforum.at/mobilfunk/firmware-versionen-hi-non-hilink-e3372h-inkl-mod.2691/ is a good source for downloading the files.
