So I've pretty much replaced my laptop with my transformer. Yea my laptop has a 17 inch screen, but to be honest with you its so big I never wanted to take it anywhere! Isn't a laptop supposed to be PORTABLE? I feel like I can (and should) take the TF everywhere. It seems tiny when docked, but just right when used as a tablet.
I love it.
The only thing stopping me from selling my laptop at this point is that I need to burn CD's occasionally. Is there any app out there that can access an external burner so that I can make CD's from music I have stored on my external drive?

Probably more a matter of time, at least if there's interest in it, but might be a long time. Didn't Honeycomb just add USB host support? I don't think it would've been possible before that.

Not necessarily at all, not all manufacturers provide Linux drivers for their hardware (Android is linux underneath it all). As well, I'm not sure exactly how Linux drivers work, but each CD burner might need their own set of drivers
If the iso drivers are in the kernel, the system will know about cd/dvd disks and drives. The issues is a program to do the burning.

So I plugged in my external DVD writer, and the kernel currently is not reconigzing it.
So that is step 1, someone adding the drivers into the kernel.
After that, it is simly a matter of re-building cdrecorder and mkisofs for an ARM target and writing a little UI on top of it.

Lets contact some dev's who might know how to do this! I can message the Dev for the prime rom. He may be able to point us in the right direction.

Messaged him just now.

I would dust the laptop back off......There are not enough devs or support for at least another 2 yrs to have a bug free Android OS. Also you have the first model of about 15 major tabs in the next 2 yrs! Just because it has a docking station means nothing. Don't get me wrong i love Android.....but leaving windows 7 and coming up 8????? Not to mention all the bugs because its a "beta" product. Actually i wouldn't even call this Alpha..Android OS should of release a GOOGLE laptop first with all the correct hardware specs and almost bug free before letting anyone put there OS on a tablet and sell it...Every Honeycomb tablet that has been made has issues. And its the hardware not being fully compatible.

If you replaced android with another operating system on your post, that can apply to any OS system on the planet. Be it windows, osx, Linux or what ever a company puts out. Not one OS or hardware is immune. Perfect software only happens when it's on the drawing board. The longer android is out the better it gets..but honeycomb has been out a very short time and is only on 5 percent of the devices running google OS. There are more then enough developers for it.
I'm looking for an external dvd burner to work with the TF also. Seems like a lot of TF owners are looking too. Hopefully someone with xda will develop the software...
Not exactly what you want but it might help
Check out this product.....It adds an extra step and it would be kinda kludgy at best.......It is a standalone cd burner.
http://www.cyberguys.com/product-details/?productid=11177
They also have a DVD burner. There may be others out there as well. I have been wanting this as well and don't really want to spend extra to get the capability right now at least.
Awesome! Definitely a solid solution. And a great idea in general! Thanks for the info

I don't think he's looking to reboot into a full-blown Ubuntu environment (where nothing else works) just to burn a DVD... The whole point of this thread is to get Android-native tools to do the burning - not setup some half-working OS to do the task...
I don't see what the Unix "cdrecord" and "mkisofs" utilities can't be ported over to Android. Although, I don't have the skills to do that, so maybe it's not such a trivial task...

I'm sure there is, but undoubtedly not without the removal of a screw that has a "tamper evident" / "void if removed" sticker on it, which would, of course, void any warranty.
I bought it used, so warranty is nonexistent anyway. Maybe I'll take it to an ATT warranty store and see if they can do it.

You can, like zelendel says below, start with the screen replacement tutorial.
I had my old BB bold torn completely apart so I could clean the crap out of the trackball assembly. Several times.
Granted, the bold and the inspire are different phones, but what gets put together can be taken apart...the main parts of the phone at least.
Though I haven't messed with taking apart an inspire, if it's anything like other phones, the bezel/body would probably be the trickiest, as the two halves snap together in a rather "semi-permanent" way. Inspire might be different seeing that it's metal, and not plastic.
Not to mention, the part you're trying to get to, along with the power button, is most likely sort of "floating" inside, meaning it might pop out once the body is separated.
Also, the ribbon cables that connect components like the screen to the main PCB are rather delicate, so be gentle when separating parts.
Again, I don't know for sure, just based on my experience with some other similar electronic devices I've taken apart.
The point is, go get yourself a set of those micro-screwdrivers, and go at it.
I was watching a video on changing out the screen, looked really complicated (lots of small connectors) but possible. I replaced the screens on all of my iphones so I may be able to accomplish this.

It's complicated device...enough to warrant your undivided attention and, if there are a lot of those ribbon cables that look similar or have the same number of contacts, it might be advisable to have a fine point sharpie permanent marker around so you can mark what ribbon goes to what connector.
But if you've replaced a screen on an iPhone, you should have a head start, not to mention, you may not have to dig as deep to get to the part you're after as you would to get to the screen.
All this verbage coming from me is based on having NOT watched the video myself. I've just opened up and put back together more than a couple electronic gadgets before.
FWIW
I'll give it a go. Maybe ill take pictures and post a guide for future reference.

Obviously good advice, and I used to be paranoid about it, now not so much. I've never fried anything due to built-up static electricity. I'm not saying it can't happen, just that the danger is probably a little overblown.
If you handle elecronic components carefully, you shouldn't run into problems.
For example, there's no reason to directly touch any IC's on PCB's or other parts that have them, just grab the part so that skin only contacts two of four edges.
And don't skate around in your socks on your thick shaggy carpet prior to doing this stuff.
And if you must skate around in your socks prior, touch the metal case of something plugged in... Computer power supply, etc.
All pretty basic stuff for anyone whose ever built their own pc.
I'll keep that in mind

There's a video on YouTube on tearing down the Desire HD which is basically the same phone.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
I know, that's the video we were talking about.
I have an official HTC HML Adapter but the first TV I used with HDMI did not work.
It is an old Sanyo with only 1 HDMI Port.
The adapter says HTC EVO 3D and Sensation
The TV out on the same TV works instantly with the Zune RCA (Red-Yellow-White) adapter.
I will try a 27" Asus monitor with 2 HDMI inputs later.
Has anyone had success with their MT4GS and this adapter?
EDIT: No Good with Asus Monitor on either HDMI port.
I have a CECHA01 (750GB) PS3 that was updated to 3.60 with my knowledge. (I'll keep that anger away from this thread)
I will test the DLNA Media Server functionality of the PS3 if someone has not done so?
This is bad news that there is no MHL funcionality. NOT the same as Sensataion! I will have to sell this to one of my friends with Sensation that are running their fancy Custom ROMs while I sit and rot on Stock for the time! Perhaps I have a bad unit right out of the box? It's possible, but I doubt it?
Everyone is waiting your further report.

Quoted for truth.
I believe we've already confirmed that the MT4GS, out of the box at least, does not support MHL. can't remember the thread where it was being discussed.
it would seem that it could be possible if you take into account the fact that the innards are the same as the Sensation and E3D, but we might have to dig to get it going. also, apparently some of the early demos of the MT4GS showed off MHL alongside the Sensation which leads me to believe we just need some small tweaks to get it working on the retail units.

This leads me to believe we need to donate to some devs to get this device in their hands. I am sick of checking the development thread to see if a there is a ROM available.
Every other device I have had, I always checked to see what was new for flashing. I think the that the timing of the Sensation and MT4GS may be one of the causes of the lack of development
What can you do....just wait and see. I have chose to wait vs getting the Sensation, which has not been easy as I have unlocked and flashed everyone in my area who has bought one, while I choose the joystick over screen res?
How much longer will this painful wait be?
Sorry for the rant.
Stock rom does not do TV out at all if you remove the TVOut apk.
Thus it follows that MHL will not work unless the correct MHL apk is present.
I would imagine the next course of action is to determine if the sensation rom contains such an apk while the mytouch does not.
Anyone have a sensation they can look at for us?

I think we're moving along nicely... less than a month since the device's official release and we have perm root & s-off already. rom development will take time. if you're aching for some changes, just head over to the UOT kitchen and have some fun there.
Just purchase a camcorder av cable. You can do tv out that way. Plus its cheaper and quality is the same as a mhl.

Well, since you are off the hook for the moment:
Does it require specific hardware to operate, or is it just code that matters?
I understand it's not supposed to matter for the connection itself - so using the MicroUSB would work on any device that had it - but is there any hardware that needs to be present within the device itself to make it work?
I think that's what I got from this before - but didn't verify anything or look into it too deeply because of the tv-out over 3.5mm and just wrote it off.
If it does require hardware support to function in some context, maybe we can see if we actually have that hardware in the device before you spend money again.
Or do you not care and just wanna buy and try? Fine either way - just curious?
Well, the seller stated its compatible for a reason, but might be an error on his side. Also im back at my money, so ill look into this more thoroughly, looking at local stores converters and their compatibility.
But yes, if someone could verify hw specification with htc or tmo that would save time.and yes it needs hw imho.

http://ifixsmartphone.com/iphone_repair/MyTouch_4G_Slide_teardown.html
That links to the only known public teardown of this device - it's showing how to replace part of the screen, but you have to take the whole device apart to get to that and pictures were taken at each step.
If we can determine that there is specific hardware needed and what it is, so far this is our best chance to see if it's physically there. (possibly?)
If any other public teardowns are found, definitely post here - and if anyone knows what hardware MHL requires the device to have please post it here so we can look into this.
Don't have the time to look too deep into this tonight, but i'll definitely post anything relevant I can find towards determining whether it's possible or not.

...that _atlien_ posted about here:

I've gone to that page probably once every 2 or 3 weeks since it was posted and thought about buying it, maybe next time but every time I get closer to going for it.
----
That aside though, any public resources along these lines anyone has found would be appreciated. I think the idea that it needs hardware makes sense or any device could just do it with the right code - but not sure and could be wrong. We need a conclusive determination on this.
well,ive found a local store with mhl stuff, i think these are pretty much the same converters. Going to give it a spin with the Sensation based rom and stock.

Looks like the ds kernel doesnt have a driver for it. Im gonna try to merge a driver to see if its a dormant part or theres no such hw in ds at all.
sent from HTC Doubleshot pyroiced
ok. i think MHL is a not going to work, looking and digging for it.
The chip is called 'sii9234' that sensation and shooter (evo3d) seems to have by default in the kernel. Looking for this chip on google related to our device I see nothing relevant...
there would be no sane reason to not include the driver if the chip is on board, that would be like worsening the market position of it. So i wont buy this cable, till someone can confirm that the sii9234 mhl chip is on the board.
T mobile is offering me a choice between a Sidekick 4g and a myTouch 4g slide.... I've read the specs and seems the mytouch is higher end but want to know opinions from users who know whats what. like I said I've read the specs already so I am trying to look past the black and white.

I'm leaning this way.... haven't had much chance to explore this forum yet... Is it possible to get s-off yet?
Yea, it's great. I can't see anything else coming close to it for a while in it's class ( hardware keyboard )
The stock battery is not great - and that's being polite.
You can find links to the battery threads in the contents page of my sticky in dev - basically you have the cheaper Anker or the more expensive Mugen to choose from to replace it with.
If you have/want to spend the money, the Mugen is great - I rock an Anker myself and love it.
Make use of the tv-out through the headphones jack, I play a lot of games output to a tv screen and the device stays alive and active while you are hooked up. I'm sure you can imagine how much more fun racing games and many others will be like this.
You can also find links to the tv threads in the dev reference, which will tell you what cable to get.
I have a Trident case on my primary, and love it. There's a decent thread on cases, but I've been pretty busy around here and haven't had the chance to update it in a while. I'll get back to it sometime.
Once you change a few keymappings, update with my gps fix and start really playing with it you'll love it.
Any specific questions just toss 'em out there - but there is no other device now or that we know of coming that I would trade this for.

Depends. For the new update, which you'll have, you got a chance with the HTC unlock tool - if that works you can do most stuff.
We are actively working on a downgrade to S-OFF option - this led to me getting S-OFF to S -ON for us a couple hours ago and I'll be bringing one of my devices up to the S-ON locked state you'll get it in later tonight.
Then I'll be able to actually try stuff instead of us guessing - all the devs working on the fix were S-OFF already so figuring out how to flip it S-ON was a big step in productivity. Once I update in S -ON, I'm stuck until we figure it out - so don't worry man, right there with ya.
HTC should have the issue resolved and restart the OTA in the not too distant future.

Just a little word about the GPS. On the 1.28.531.10 stock ROM, your GPS fix was a huge improvement. However, now that I'm on the 1.55.531.3 stock ROM, the GPS is lightening quick and accurate without any adjustments on my part. HTC must have done some serious tweaking to the GPS code in this ROM.

You know, I wasn't thinking when I wrote that - there was a bunch of GPS stuff that was pushed for the new update, a new SUPL cert and gps.conf file. I meant to take a look at it to see what they did and if it still needed help or not, but haven't had a chance to yet.
Hopefully I'll have the presence of mind to pull them from my other phone now that it's up to date stovk

If you read the specs alone it should be nothing but obvious what phone to choose its like asking should i go with a free geo or a BMW .........
i think you get the idea by now, but i'll just say, the keyboard is the ONLY POSSIBLE reason you might choose the SK. i've had both, and there is no comparison... MT4GS all the way.
LMFAO! Screw the damn keyboard. I can't wait to dig into this phone and see what it can do. Only downside is my wife said I only get one weekend to set it up before she takes it away. NOW that I have the phone on order and I'll only have the weekend to mess with it any suggestions on what I should start with until s-off is achieved?
Depends what hboot u get. If u get the older one, ur in business. Ez to root and s-off.
Use rubix ics 5.2 with my directions on page 148 of its thread on rootzwiki, if u want stability with everything working and super fast. If she wants ics, tbalden's rom probably. But all the 4.0.X roms are still a work in progress.

I know. I couldn't resist, as i just took in my Beamer to get the recall fixed Wednesday
Im coming off of contract soon, and thinking about getting the HTC M8. I was wondering how you guys feel about it after owing it for sometime, although its still pretty new? Im coming from a Verizon Moto X dev. Edition, how much of a shock ( if any ) will I be in with the HTC m8?
Thanks.
p.s. Im thinking about this or the HTC one MAX... I think that is a different device though.
I love it so far... Had the Moto x dev edition not too long ago as well, but moved back to my Note 2 because I missed the larger screen and external SD card.
Switched to the M8 because of a common technical issue with the Note 2 that I didn't want to put up with anymore. I already know that I didn't make a mistake. This thing is blazing fast and smooth as silk.
Needs full root, though. I need to use my extsd!

Root it, install xposed, then get the package HandleExternalStorage, and sd will work perfectly.
htc one max is bigger than the note 3 - different phone

Hey.. thank for this. I installed Xposed last night and the HES module. Works like a friggin' dream!
Anyone else on this?
Well.. coming from the note 3.
Although, i love the build quality and look/feel it would of been nice to have both tri color led and screen size of the note 3. I lswitched due to the verizon version being locked down. Heres hoping to m8 s-off.

I came from the nexus 5, basically just wanted something different. Love the build quality. Phone is amazingly fast stock. Sense is better than it used to be, still put the GPL launcher on it though. Screen is great, wish it was bigger for the size of the phone, bezels are way to big. Camera is decent but not that great. Battery seems good, can easily get through a day with somewhat heavy use.
Any other specific questions just ask.
I find it kind of funny that they release a phone with KitKat and an external SD probably knowing that there was an incompatibility and wouldn't function 100% properly. I have to now install root, xposed, and a module just for R/W access to my ExtSD. Also, with Xposed sometimes have to hard reboot and re-enable Xposed since it makes WiFi wonky.
There is no sOff on this phone?

The top and bottom bezels are maybe a little large (but the speakers are housed under them, so it's understandable), but the side bezels are pretty small. In fact, without a case, they're maybe TOO small. When I hold it one-handed and try to reach for something with my thumb, the skin of my hand frequently hits something on the right-side of the screen accidentally.

Not yet, but it's being worked on. We're hoping it'll happen soon, but there are no guarantees. Personally, I would be happy at this point with just being able to flash custom ROM's.
Anndd Im guessing you cant do that either then? ( no custom roms? )

No roms yet. I'm sure it's coming though. I am a flashoholic but I am entirely content with stock. Coming from romified note 2

Bump one last time. Im going to Verizon to swap out here soon within the next week. Thanks guys!!
This is just a super fantastic phone. I'd recommend it to anyone that's in the market for a new phone. And now the we have ViperOne...it just puts it over the top. :good:
I love this phone. I prefer it OVER my wifes S5.
My ONLY regret on about getting this phone..... is me renewing my contract and getting rid of the Grandfathered Unlimited that I loved.
I am in love with the phone it's truly amazing how htc made it.
