HDMI mirroring

I am running gingerblur 4.0 and loving it. Problem I am having is when I play HBO go or something simular it is 90 degrees out. Am I missing something or is there a setting to correct it? And before anyone asks no I am not going to turn my television on its side.

The mirroring app for the Atrix doesn't support landscape mode. I believe people are currently working on this, using the app from the Droid X2.

Thank you very much. I was sure it was me and didn't want to ask.

Hi all
Because i have fewer than 10 posts, i can't post to this thread
so i decided to Post here, hope that a developer read this.
I've just installed the Photon Alien ROM on the Atrix and it works basically (no cam, wifi etc. etc...).
But the great message is that the HDMI mirroring works smooth like hell and in landscape mode, youtube, videos, games how it should to be(the resolution could be better).
So any developer please port this to Atrix!!! this can not be that hard now?

i'm about 98% sure he's being sarcastic

Actually, he's right. It's a matter of separating out the correct files, tweaking a few others, and having HDMI mirroring on the Atrix.

I just downloaded kens photon rom and extracted it , it does not even have a boot img in it. So it is probably a matter of porting the the hdmi apk and its dependencies.

I pretty sure its at a Kernal Level, but it shouldn't be to difficult. Our current kernel contributers, Kholk, Faux, and Edgar, with the collaboration of Ken should be able to figure this out.
Another approach would to work backwards. Take Kens Photon Alien and patch it to make it work for Atrix perfectly

So you have perfectly working landscape and portrait HDMI mirroring?

OMG multiple threads!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17051323&postcount=173
See?? Yes landscape works on photon rom!

Yes it works great.. Im having trouble porting it to 4.5.91 but i have fixed wifi and cellular data on the photon rom.

Once this gets going is it possible to have an option for mirroring when inserted into lapdock? Sometimes i don't need webtop and the extra ram and performance would be preferable.
I voided my warranty and your mum.

Anyone modding Skype 2.0 for desire?

Just though I would ask if anyone has modded the .apk file to allow us desire people to use video chat out of the back camera ?
Many thanks

Installed this and videocall button exists, but it's late here and cant try it.

I swear I once got the camera working on the previous version. I don't know. Might of been the iPhone instead.

I would love to have the video option as well. It's silly that just because of no front camera the Desire is not supported. There still could be use for the video function
I have google talk 2.3.4 installed and the video works there, but still would love proper Skype support also...

[Q] Skype Front Facing Camera Hack?

The new Skype (2) was released today and has support for 4 phones with front facing cameras. I was wondering if it's possible for the Netflix hack to be applied to Skype... in at least a similar fashion? I'm not sure how the netflix hack worked to begin with (APK hack or Build.prop... still a noob to android guts). I'm also wondering if it only works on 2.3 because of the new camera api's...
Anyone else curious/interested? I don't know how to hack it but I am just curious.

I am both, curious and interested...

Sadly, a simple mod on the APK or build.prop won't be enough. That's the reason Qik has a dedicated video app for motorola atrix. It's an API/driver issue.

In android development theres one, check it out :-D(before complaing, its test version guys)

Cool, that was fast! I didn't see it, must have come up right before I posted.
Edit: Can't find the topic, got a link?

not entirely correct, with Gingerbread (2.3.3+) Google included a standard FFC driver which Moto has stated is compatible with the Atrix and should be used for any further development on GB platforms. on froyo, all carriers had to figure out FFC drivers on their own, but for GB it's standard.

it's in the main Android Apps forum, an SGS user modified theirs to work on the SGS, but on the Atrix it force-closes on sign-in.

I know it isn't Skype. But Fring works pretty good between my and my sons Atrixs.

are you running froyo or gingerbread?

So are we saying that once Gingerbread is fully released for the Atrix that Skype will easily be able to add support in for the phone?

theoretically, yes. since all GB devices will be able to use a common FFC driver, it shouldn't be a problem. of course, nothing ever goes that smoothly or easily...

skype and all would be great, but id be more interested in getting the FFC to actually work... in the unofficial GB (or whatever u wanna call it) release the FFC doesnt work..

How about on the skype hack that just came out (look at android police) on 2.3.4

We need also some strong developer, someone who can treat with codes

Unless someone can beat me to it, i'll set us up the IRC channel later on this afternoon...
ddms is a tool that is great for monitoring logs to find out what the bugs and errors are, by the way... For anyone who didn't know. When you have trouble with something, run ddms, repeat that, post that log ... You can also use it to take screenshots
(Just trying to post a few things for people to get familiar with in the meantime)
and it seems that if anyone wants to compile gingerbread from source you need a 64 bit os just a heads up i set up my dev enviro on a 32 cause it was a convienent one for me then later found that out and now i have to switch it all again n_n so .. avoid that... (if anyone knows this to be false tell me but it sure seemed true from googling)

Well I was thinking and I saw a lot of good roms for defy. Let's start by porting more of them. the sense roms look great and there are really good cm7 roms like the Acer liquid themed ones. I do wish we had a person that was good with codes. I really like stock GB camera. I would love to have a honeycomb ROM as well.

I always use adb logcat to create log files, its very easy.

compiling gingerbread from source? but dont we need a gingerbread kernel fro bravo to do that?
Im very new at this, but I have seem some people speaking about it
I took gingerbread CM7 from DEFY and ported to my BRAVO, but I cant get camera app working, I cant even record videos.

We already have CM7 and MIUI, you can't make a more enjoyable ROM that those two. CM7 is AOSP Gingerbread with great added on features.
A great thing a dev team could do is work to get the camera working for CM7 and MIUI.

We need to macth some libs to get camera working, or we need someone who make it work by modifing some file.
What marquae11 is trying to say is that he wants a stock rom with no modifications, no changes, just stock.
For example a stock CM7 for bravo, no icons changes, no extra launcher, just like me!!
EDIT:
I received the answer from turl from Modmymobile, the one who adapted CM7 for CLIQ XT.
He told that need to macth some libs and use bravo libs for camera, something that we alredy knew.
But in the log file there was something I never saw and he told me that we are using this lib:
LibSOCJordanCamera we need to edit some lib or something else.

if you guys get MIUI and CM7 with a working camera on the bravo you will be considered heros and everyone will be happy.

How do you suppose we get a pro coder? Should we ask on modmymobile? PERHAPS get some people together and buy a Bravo and give it to a developer? The Bravo does not cost much maybe like 160, we could each donate a little bit and give it to some pro coder... but hopefully someone will be able to do it just looking at both phones system files.

im cool with this

I wasn't able to get any of the other apps from that link to work. Did you have any luck?

Hey X might want to put something in OP about these being for ICS. I've been testing Moped's 2.2 and they aren't working. I went to the 2nd link you posted and he says these are for ICS only. Just to save you some trouble when people start asking/telling that these aren't working.

any idea on how to install the apps. do we put the odex files in the system/apps folder or data/apps with the apps? also S voice is tough to get cause I only have 14 mbs left in system memory and the apk is close to 30.

Awesome. I'm in love with it lol
