What this mod does:
It removes the device ID string check from PortalApp, and enables the webtop option in DockService. Replacing these two apk files effectively allows the webtop to launch without proprietary hardware.

What this means to you:
Webtop mode over any HDMI without an expensive dock.

Installation:
Method 1: ADB install
Download the package here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=791033&d=1321938181
First Get the files to the device and remount /system as rw:
Code:
adb push DockService.apk /mnt/sdcard/
adb push PortalApp.apk /mnt/sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
Backup the original files:
Code:
mv /system/app/DockService.odex /system/app/DockService.odex.bak
mv /system/app/PortalApp.odex /system/app/PortalApp.odex.bak
cp /system/app/DockService.apk /system/app/DockService.apk.bak
cp /system/app/PortalApp.apk /system/app/PortalApp.apk.bak
Copy the modded files over fix permissions and reboot:
Code:
cp /mnt/sdcard/DockService.apk /system/app
cp /mnt/sdcard/PortalApp.apk /system/app
chmod 644 /system/app/DockService.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/PortalApp.apk
reboot

Appreciate my work? Buy Me a Beer:
awesome job!
however, will this effect how the device currently interacts with the motorola docks (webtop, lapdock, car-dock, hd-dock, etc)
The modifications to PortalApp will have no effect on that interaction whatsoever I have just removed the bit that checks to see if your dock is legit when the Webtop Launches. And the modification to DockService simply causes the mIsWebtopAllowed variable to return true.
In short everything will work the same, you'll just always have a webtop option in the Dock Picker Activity no matter what type of HDMI/Dock you have connected.
Excellent WORK!!!
Thanks i appreciate the work you did to make this happen!!! as soon as i get paid im buying you a beer!!!
Used this mod on my OG ATRIX. Works great on it with a Bluetooth keyboard. Again good work.
silly question I'm sure but I have to ask: Does this require root?
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
Didn't work for me. Had to use this:

Just enable tethering/mobile hotspots. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330438.
Anyway after this turn on your mobile hotspots and and then connect your lapdock. It will run on your mobile broadband without a tethering plan. Now will you get a letter? I dunno.
Well... I've screwed up. I tried this from the Bionic Forum as a test: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281722
and now my Atrix 2 will not load the web top. The M pulses and then nothing happens, the phone goes to sleep. I've tried a factory restore but that did not correct this. Any help would be appreciated.

Were you able to flash the webtop restore through RSD and go back to stock webtop?
I have not tried that yet, I have been a little to afraid to given what happened the first time I tried using Bionic derived tools. I'm a Mac guy, so RSD is out of my reach right now. I will try it tonight at work.
can I flash via recovery?

THIS IS FOR ECLAIR 2.1 DO NOT USE THIS IN A FROYO 2.2 ROM. SINCE THE 2.2 UPDATE WIRELESS N IS SUPPORTED OUT THE BOX. NO NEED FOR THIS HACK IN FROYO 2.2
edited by toastcfh to avoid mishaps
Update: Thanks to Calkulin there are now flashable zips on my blog post as well as just the driver. Just flash them like any other update.zip file.
So the Evo's WiFi chip supports Wireless N technology, which allows for faster throughput on your WiFi connection. To use this you obviously need a Wireless N capable AP or router. Basically, for some reason (I am going to assume battery life?), HTC decided to disable the wireless n capability of this chip but this can be fixed. Since we don't have the source for the driver we need to use a hex editor. Note, if using AOSP wireless n will already be enabled using the AOSP driver. But if you are using a Sense rom then you will need to do the following. Also I am including a download link with the driver that you can just push if you don't want to get dirty with a hex editor. Anyway, here we go:
1. Download a hex editor (I just googled hex editor and downloaded this one: http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm)
2. Go into a command prompt or shell and perform:
Code:
adb pull /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko ./bcm4329.ko.old
adb pull /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko ./bcm4329.ko
This will pull the file and make a backup in case you need to replace the backup.
3. In your hex editor open the file you just pulled. Now, in two spots HTC added 'nmode' in here to disable Wireless N. All we have to do is modify this string to be any other 5 character string and wireless N will be enabled. I did a search and replace and replaced 'nmode' with '-----' (Note: Do not include the single quotes).
4. Save the file.
5. Perform the following in a command prompt or shell:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
Now wireless N should be enabled on your device. If not, restart it and try. If you ever want to restore your original just perform the following:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push bcm4329.ko.old /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
.
Below is the download link for the already modified wireless driver.
http://objectunoriented.com/android/?p=35
I downloaded the file and pushed it to my phone. I restarted the phone and once it came back up it connected on 802.11n. So far been working perfectly.
Sounds good, will try when I get home. But I have to say I was expecting this after I heard that the incredible is getting a patch to enable wireless n.
wow. clever little patch. im excited to try this! hopefully will at least allow better throughput if not also better signal with wireless n! thanks!!
on a technical side note, any reason why your /system is mtdblock3 while mine is mtdblock4?
cant wait to try this.... thanks
good stuff! gonna try this.

I have actually had this working for maybe a week now in my latest Superersonic rom but since I haven't had time to fix the root problem with that rom I just decided to post this seperately.
most of the power issues/concerns with wireless-n are targetted at the AP/Router i think... wondering if anyone has been seeing a drop in battery power though.

MD- how far have you got? Try downloading the android sdk and you can start experimenting with ADB (android debug bridge). If you just google "android sdk" you can go right to google's site and they have instructions there. Or maybe you have all ready messed around with ADB?
anyways, cheers for the good question.

I had that same problem originally. Did you follow the directions on the link exactly? If you push the framework-res.apk back to the phone while it is running "normally"- that is what happens (or it happened to me at least).
But when I booted into recovery, mounted system (it will actually read unmount when it is mounted) and then pushed the apk- I didn't have that problem.
I am not sure if that was the only step that made the difference- but is the only one I can think of.

A couple of things...
1. This is in no way meant as a "come back". Just my view.
2. Whether it is easier to use terminal or not - I still need the commands.
3. And for me it is easier to use a full size key board. The USB cable is less of a hassle to me then the mini touch screen keyboard.
Again- that's just me.
in your build.prop replace the current text with this: you can get things like tv.com back
Code:
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2.1 FRG83 60505 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.1/FRG83/60505:user/release-keys
i would upload one for people to flash but as some many people are on diff roms/kernels it would just cause more issues then its worth best way to go about fixing it is pulling the file from your phone (or the zip from teh rom your on). swapping out the text and pushing it back to /system
all credit goes to Decad3nce for the fix

If it's giving you root access in a terminal, could you not push the root files that way? Or do you have to remount to do that? I honestly don't know is why I ask. Would love to root this beast, but I'm not a lot of help with the more deep down technical stuff.

You have to remount the system as writable otherwise trying to write a file to system doesnt work, and as soon as I issue the command adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system then phone just freezes but I'm looking into an answer for that but no luck so far.

No it's supposed to remount the system as writable because I need to be able to push su into /system/xbin but when I try to it gives me the error system READ only which means I cannot write to it. And if I were you be prepared to lose everything and factory reset in the end otherwise it's not going to hold no WiFi passwords or nothing every time I reboot I need to rein put all the WiFi crap and it's getting annoying.

I'm pretty much where you are at. I don't think DM-Verify is turned off in the kernel but it is a eng one. If you get tired of it just flash the boot.img below and you will be back to normal. It says PI1 but it should work fine if you are on MM. I flashed it on PL4 no problem.

Yeah I already flashed back but apparently I'm going to have to factory reset again anyway because after flashing the original kernel it still won't keep my WiFi passwords saved and I have to keep redoing it.

I'm curious as to why the file system would deny me to mv su from my sdcard into /system/xbin when I'm ROOT... But if I so much as try to mount it as re writable it freaks out and freezes. But I can adb shell mount -o rw,remount / and adb shell mount rw,remount rootfs / with no issue but just that /system absolutely will not.

I feel like it's infuriating because root is right there but just out of reach. I've been using my m8 because I have root and my screen is peeling on my note, so if someone wants to shoot me some instructions, I can see what I get.

I really don't think you should try right now considering that both myself and @Misterxtc know what we're doing already and there really isn't much point in trying to give instructions out just to end up in the same exact situation we are.
And by the way, there is root. It's just in the console that's it!
By the way you can adb pull the /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu from the phone to your computer and change it and then push it back and then viola secret codes in the phone dialer work such as *#0*# and many others! If you do change it reboot before it'll take effect. Also it will remain this way even with doing a factory reset.
