So is there any way to setup ubuntu for the webtop and then vnc into it without being connected to anything? Not sure i care to mess with the hdmi on my tv and neither of my monitors had hdmi ports. It would be cool to be able to remote into it though.

you can get an HDMI->DVI converter and use it on your monitor. much more efficient solution.
I like what your saying, but it would be cool if we could add the device to wifi and somehow boot the webtop and remote in. Now off to amazon to find that device.

Can the Webtop app/environment be run just on the phone without any dock ?
i.e. just use the Phone Screen to run the full Firefox, citrix etc ?
If this is possible maybe we can get by without the tethering plan...
don't quote me on this, but i think i heard you can run it without a dock, just not on the phone. Meaning you'll need to be hooked up to the HDMI out.
My plan was to forgo the docks, and just run webtop manually with an HDMI out and USB for power. don't need a dock to use a bluetooth keyboard/mouse.
I was hoping it would run just on the phone screen.
afaik unfortunately you cannot run webtop on the phone.
it is really a shame...another one to tack on the list.
imagine if someone was able to not only run firefox on the phone...but also arm linux apps? that would be killer. hint, hint, nudge, nudge.
hi, I was wondering if it is possible to send commands from your android device to your xbox 360 ? (via usb)
so that your phone works as a controller.....
(Im not asking to connect a xbox 360 controller to an android phone - but connecting an android phone to a xbox console!)
Does the 360 support a hid usb keyboard? You could probably emulate that on the android device.
Better, in my opinion, and with a wider appeal would be a bluetooth ir blaster. Should be a fairly simple device, controlled over bluetooth, that emmits ir remote signals to be received by your xbox or other home theater equipment. Not sure if something like this is available, but there should be.
usb is rather limited (mostly because it's an xbox, if it was a PC it would be easier), but like voodoo55 said, bluetooth would be possible

but there are wired-xbox-controllers that connects via usb to the xbox....
the phone could just send the standard usb-commands to the console, right?
no bluetooth support on xbox im afraid.... it may be possible by studying what buttons on the controler do.. eg. what command each button does when pressed.. obviously its coded some how.. as voodoo55 said you may be able to emulate this using some sort of custom made app... good luck

the xbox controllers are special, any other usb input device can't be used outside of the messenger - M$ did this to prevent/lower 3rd party controllers, similar to how they only accept M$ wireless adapters

Because tv has hdmi input and laptop has hdmi output. You are trying to output hdmi from your phone which should go into the input. Since your laptop is not an input you cannot and will not see anything.

Is there any adapters that are made to lets say Hdmi to usb? I've seen one for hdmi to svideo. But most laptops don't have that either.

Are you just trying to use the laptop screen as a TV for the phone?
Yeah. Pointless I know I mean its a laptop. But my computer has hdmi inputs. Well the monitor does.

If your monitor has hdmi input then just plug in the hdmi cable into it.

so what you are saying is it shows nothing either on my phone or my laptop after connecting the HDMI cable ?
actually what I need to do is to run webtop on my computer.so i need to root the phone.before rooting i need to know all the things are working perfectly .
After rooting would it show those options in my phone and the laptop ?

@zeealot, you cant connect your phone to any laptop via hdmi... the hdmi port on your phone is for output so as the hdmi port on most laptops so therefore you cant connect output-to-output
if you want to display/output your phone on a bigger screen, you can only connect to a tv or an external monitor that has hdmi input port... also, rooting your phone doesnt have anything to do with it... I hope I explained that clearly to you

You could try using a HDMI capture device like this one:

but it is probably expensive.
$200 its professional grade used for way more then what your wanting it for. You can actually hook up your xbox or ps3 to your laptop with this and record the game play as your playing it.

Why don't you just buy the laptop and be done with it? You obviously have no clue about how HDMI works, and I wouldn't trust you trying to perform mods to your phone because I know you'll end up here whinging you bricked your phone.
Sigh.

you CAN NOT connect it to a laptop BUT if you're referring to an external display with hdmi input (monitor/tv) you can still use webtop without a dock... just search the forum for hdmi mirroring
Is there any way to make the HDMI output of the laptop to HDMI input ?like by using a converter ?
No. It's not possible. Period.
Use your TV, or get the lap dock, there is physically no way to make your laptop show the webtop off of your phone without an extra tuner card (hdmi are expensive, and not worth it).
Btw, google is your friend.

I think yhe2x had made it very clear already! Buy a new LapTop with HDMI "IN" port.
Even though I think dingdong a laptop with any form of input would be nearly impossible. Laptops just aren't something people expect, or use, as a secondary display.
Plain and simple... There is no way to connect your phone to the laptop and use webtop mode. TV, yes. HDMI computer monitor, yes. Laptop, no.

Does anyone know if its possible to mirror the display of my android device to my touchscreen PC?
I can mirror my phone to my HDMI TV, so if I have HDMI input can I mirror my phone to my touchscreen windows 8 tablet and control it? I have Surface RT, so I am really doubting it, but I would like to know if anyone even knows if this is possible in any version of Windows. What would kick ass, is if you could take a rooted device, plug it in, force tablet mode, and control your phone, and all applications with your tablet. Instead of using Bluestacks emulation, you would think you could just plug your phone in and use it. I assume it would either need to be via USB, or Micro HDMI
also, is it possible to use my Surface RT as an external monitor for my PC? I know I can use an external monitor for my surface, but can you do it the other way around?
Thanks
No, it is not possible.
Root the android device, install a VNC server, and use a VNC client on the desktop to see the Android's output.
Just to note, it won't properly forward touchscreen events for multitouch and the like.
Just wondering if it's possible to use nexus 10 as essentially a portable hdmi monitor. I would like to Sometimes play console in lounge without taking up the TV and just wondered if it's possible to connect console to nexus basically... I already have a HDMI to mini HDMI lead... Wireless would be even better although not essential... Briefly investigated screen cast but seems like this is only designed to wirelessly stream to a TV (which already has hdmi input)
Many Thanks,
Sam.
Ps my N10 is currently not rooted although I would consider rooting if it would enable such a possibility

N10 is designed for OUTPUT only.
That said, it's resolution is high enough that it would be a cool feature, but it's OUTPUT only.
Thanks for the reply I figured that might be the case, any ideas if its possible in a virtual sense? Ie plug a transmitter into console or other hdmi output and have it transmit the signal which can be picked up in an app like YouTube (but source is generated from transmitter rather than the Web)
Thanks again

Only solution I know of right now is Onlive, but then you have to pay for the game AND a subscription.

This might be possible, depending on what you want to play.
If it's a DVD/blu ray, you can stream that on a local wifi network with VLC on a computer, and play it on MX player on your tab, just point MX to the address of the stream.

I'm after doing it without a intermediary computer, that said I'm currently looking into hdmi to composite adapter into a raspberry pi and using that to stream to network and picking it up via this mx player you mentioned...

That could be possible, but yikes! HDMI to composite is like going back light years of technology!
But yeah I've wanted to do the same in the past, to run my GameCube without a TV.
I ended up with a LCD hdtv with hdmi, component, composite and vga, so I just use that (mostly for my PS3 now).
I actually just ordered a pi last week!
I'm going to use it as a file server with a 1.5TB usb drive, and also a Wi-Fi repeater, on top of that, a torrent box (qBittorrent with http remote interface).
Gl though with the video thing!
