Full HDMI functionality - Droid X General

I have my Xoom with full HDMI functionality, meaning it mirrors whatever the tablet is displaying on a large TV screen. Since I am a developer, I don't wanna use it for any app testing yet. Instead, I would rather to use my Driod X I just bought at eBay. I learned that the HDMI port of Droid X outputs only your own gallery, not the same way as Xoom does. Is there a way to make Droid X mirror whatever it is displaying on a TV screen?
The reason why I wanna use large screen to see the results of my development work is because my vision is rather poor.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Due to the processor in the Droid X, mirror mode is impossible. Sorry.
Of course, RealHDMI can at least show almost everything through HDMI. Just not on the phone screen while doing it.

Will the Xoom have full HDMI out?

I don't know if this can be answered yet or not, but I thought I would put it out there.
The Notion Ink Adam has HDMI out, and it outputs the entire screen via HDMI. From dashboard and internet to games and videos, it's all output via HDMI with apparently good audio to boot!
Anyone know if the Xoom is going to be the same? Or is it going to be like my HTC EVO and only output the gallery & YouTube via HDMI?
Might be a small detail, but it's a decider for me. I can really see the advantage of having full HDMI out.
I doubt it's a feature that can be enabled afterwards either, since people have been working on it for about 7 months on the EVO without much success.
This may be something that has to wait until release, but I thought I would check. Someone, somewhere may have mentioned it and I'm just not finding it.
The only official word I've seen is from Moto's press release, which states:
"It allows consumers to experience HD content right on the device, supports 1080p HD video and HDMI output to display content on larger HD screens, and plays video and other rich web content seamlessly with Adobe® Flash® Player."
Doesn't say if the full UI will be output, though that's probably more of a question for Honeycomb in general than the Xoom itself. Frankly, I'd be surprised if the full UI wasn't output natively in Honeycomb - it's such an obvious feature.
Haven't you seen the Google demos? How do you think they show of the interface on a beamer?

What's on stage and what's in retail stores are often very different.
Besides, I thought there was some copy write issue or something regarding HDMI output? Why else would it be disabled for everything except 2 apps on the HTC EVO?
+1 What's shown in a demo can rarely be counted on to be seen in a store. Nothing's set in stone until it's in your hands.
I've wondered about the HDMI-out on the EVO. Maybe it has something to do with that old frame-cap, or perhaps an actual hardware limitation.

If HDMI is properly implemented, it is using HDCP between source (the phone) and sink (the display) which gives an encrypted path for any content that is flagged as requiring this path (i.e. copy protected).
From a practical perspective, clear transmission of HDMI is difficult to capture because of the bandwidth required for HD sources. It's getting more practical with the advent of high throughput SSD devices but it's very expensive to put together a system to capture it.
I can't speak to specifics of the EVO -- I have yet to hook it up to a display.
It would support full HDMI out as all tegra2 devices I have seen so far supports that.

Can someone help me understand the draw of having an HDMI port on a phone or tablet? I can't fathom many uses for that sort of thing. I suppose it'd be nice to have in the rare event I wanted to show some pictures off on the big screen at a family gathering or something, but I just can't imagine too many situations where it would come in handy.
I think hdmi on a portable device is is good for playing hd movies. Download a movie to your pc, transfer to your device, and connect hdmi. More convenient than burning a dvd

More and more hotels have hd tv's, plugging your tablet in to watch a movie would be awesome.
Same goes for displaying a presentation at work, or a spreadsheet.
Browsing the internet, playing games, etc.

it does support full hdmi out i was watching a ces video about the xoom on youtube last night that showed and answered this question
Every time that I’ve seen it discussed, the reps mention full HDMI “mirror mode”. Several expanded upon that to say that “whatever you see on the tablet, you’d see on the tv”. Granted these videos were primarily from CES and I got the impression that each of the people I saw talk weren’t terribly confident about what they were saying.
Also, just scavenged the following:
Ok…apparently I can’t post links yet, so this is gonna be tricky:
Motorola Rep at 1:08 into the video, talks about mirror mode
Search you tube for "ud8r7Mo8af4".
----
“It also has a mirror-mode option, in which whatever you see on the screen – video, Web pages, apps, etven the entire user interface – is literally mirrored onto your HDTV, meaning you can play Angry Birds in full 55″ HD!”
-mobilementalism.com (search bing for Mobilementalism.com xoom hype, first hit)
Despite folks throwing around this "mirror mode" term, it wouldnt surprise me if it didnt work that way once we get them... but there seems to be enough to hold out hope.
i will add this question to "for those on the borderline, what do you want to know" thread

web top for galaxy s2

Hi guys
I really love my galaxy s 2 but i think also that all this power can be used to use this Smartphone as a little pc or better to use this Smartphone as a little tablet but more little and more comfortable to move..
Well i have see some details about web top application for Motorola on atrix model and i think that this is a good idea.. When i stay in office or at home i can manage my files and other with my Smartphone but with the keyboard and mouse and monitor of my pc..
I know that Motorola works in 2 different way.. One with the keyboard dedicate and one with the normal wired cable.. May be that i can use this software also for my galaxy? Is possible or not? What gs your opinion?
Thank a lot!

I think this idea has a lot of mileage, and it's something I'd very much like as well (plus many others I'm sure).
With the MHL output, something like this should be possible.
I've got an MHL cable, bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse, and it's ok, but the software is not designed for such a setup, and the screen resolution is far too low.
Sadly I'm not a dev, but in order to create something that can achieve an Atrix 'webtop' like experience for the S2, devs would need to work out how to get something other than video to be output at a higher resolution than the native 800 x 480.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to achieve this?
Could a separate Linux based system be run in parallel to Android, but output via the MHL output?
The S2 is powerful enough, it's whether devs have the tools available to achieve something like this, which could lead to some very cool peripherals (tablet docks, net-book docks, desktop docks etc).
I've noticed this idea mentioned in a few places - are there any devs willing to take this as a project and give it a go? I'd be happy to help organise, but sadly have no programming skills.

I think they simply enabled two or more resolution scaling in the android itself, or at least in the launcher, just a guess though.
But starting another application upon connecting the MHL cable should be easy (e.g. Dock station, etc.) and theoretically someone, or group of people (as I think this would be quite an endeavor) could write whatever you like application.
One tricky thing is if the resolution is at all changeable on SGS2.
But the idea is really good

wow! thanks for sharing this! it seems awesome
Thanks for the link. It works ok, and it's great that it is running alongside Android.
However, it seems that it's not possible to get it to work at more than 800x480 resolution, which is a shame. Increasing the desktop size just means you need to scroll around rather than increasing the resolution sent through the HDMI, which is what you'd expect as it's mirroring the GS2 display.
If we could find a way to run this so that it's not mirroring the GS2 display, but running at a higher resolution through the HDMI, that would be great.
I had more or less the same problem, (not using the hdmi cable yet) I changed the /root/bin/ui script to 1024x768 but you can put any value

Did you get this working on the GS2. How does it function with the lapdock? Can you use the lapdock's touchpad and keyboard? Thank you in advance for your reply

I'm excited for Webtop 3.0

It might not give you a full blown desktop OS, but it surely has to be a lot faster than the current webtop,and a bit more user friendly than installing GenTop.
I haven't used my Lapdock much because its so slow,so I'm looking forward to having something that is actually usable once we get ICS.
I was initially turned off by the fact we wouldn't be running a full version of Ubuntu, but after doing some thinking,I would rather have something thats faster with some limitations than something full featured that runs slow. Running android and only android has to be faster than any other method of the Webtop interface.
Anyone else agree?
I also agree, and I think that if we want a full-featured OS Webtop we would need a quad-core phone. Gentop is nice however isn't user friendly.
There's also HDMI mirroring but the resolution is upscaled and enlarged so when its plugged into a Lapdock it looks LQ.
Plus mirroring is laggy since its outputting to the phone screen and another screen.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
What's funny is that Ubuntu Webtop isn't even full featured. It's pretty much just Firefox and a file manager. And yet it's still really slow somehow. You have to download a Webtop mod to get true Ubuntu features. Webtop 3.0 will be very welcomed.
I think it's interesting, and going to be pretty useful, but its going to be majorly flawed. I plugged a mouse into my ics tablet to get a sense of how a tablet os works without a touch screen. First impressions were pretty decent, there were a few oddities, like precision zooming, but for the most part, the experience was ok.
Then it hit me, I had been using the scroll wheel a huge amount and on trying to use the device without it, ended up with lists flying everywhere and cramped wrists, similar to using the lapdock*with mobile view..... Unless motorola can add some degree of trackpad scrolling, my lapdock will end up on ebay, or my phone will remain on gingerbread. With my macbook (no multitouch, just two finger scrolling), i have never felt the need to use a mouse for 3 years, sure, arrow keys help, but the single touch lapdock trackpad problem is exasperated by changing to a touch based os.
I just don't see it being practical, i think the concept is great an I think this would be amazing to have, but it would be so much better to have it alongside more of an ubuntu for android type distro for real laptop like flexibility. We also neeeeeed a better scrolling mechanism on the lapdock. Put all of this in place, and I don't think I would need any other laptop!
Give me webtop 3, with its inferior browser (firefox renders better, supports more standards and has real right click operations than chrome beta or the ics browser) and its inability to multitask and show more than one item on the screen and I will be quite disappointed. Having a 16/9 tablet also highlights how ics isn't particularly good for wide screens such as the lapdock as there are several apps that sit in the middle of the display flanked by white space such as the market.
I just really hope we can get a gentop2 port or an ubuntu for android port working if motorola drops the ball and leaves us with a really compromised experience. Potentially they could do a really good job if they can get all apps to work nicely in tablet mode and add side scrolling to the trackpad... please motorola, I'm waiting with both excitement and trepidation.
I agree the touchpad should have had side/two finger scrolling, but the arrow keys/pg up/down makes a half decent substitute.
A couple of concerns I would have:
1. Finding a decent VNC app that works well with the control scheme.
2. Printing from ICS.
When is it coming out??
when we get ICS, Q3 of this year
hopefully the lag go away

Similar, but it only works if you have a dock with your atrix.
essentially, its just like a tablet without the touchscreen if you have a lapdock.

Take a look at the webtop 3 video in the ics demo video thread, looks like a dock may no longer be neccessary
Plus, this is better than the current mirroring solutions as it takes the native display resolution of the hdmi device as opposed to stretching the phone resolution.
webtop 3.0
just got the OTA on my RAZR, first thing I did was plug in my lapdock to check out 3.0, and I have to say it is sooo much better than the old version... most of the lag is gone. Its still not perfect, but it is very usable now. Hopefully they won't delay the update for you guys too much longer

Can you post few screenshots and the programs that have been added
Sent from Atrix powered by Neutrino
Unfortunately i am on vacation and forgot to put the dock in my bag. As far as programs being added there really isn't anything added they removed more and focused on an Android experience, Firefox is gone, as well as mobile view. Basically it is your phone screen blown up to the size of the monitor... the browser is your browser from your phone as well as the app drawer and everything else... instead of the software running on top of your phone's OS it is your phone's OS magnified. Which makes it a smoother experience and for me more productive. You can switch app display modes from tablet mode to phone more for the ones that don't scale well but I haven't had any issues yet.

Has anyone tried running a VNC'ed and chrooted linux distro on webtop 3? How does it compare to the gentop2 and other webtop modifications we currently have?
I guess the main question is how well android works as a desktop os and how is the multitasking? I think its great that motorola have removed the provision for the dock and I can see myself using webtop 3 a huge amount hooked up to my TV, but I want a more productive lapdock experience. I wonder how possible an onskreen cornerstone port would be just for webtop or a port of gentop2 to the new ICS ROMs.
I have been using the Overskreen app for a while on my tablet, I think its going to be the first thing I install once we get ICS on the atrix!

Youtube some Webtop 3.0 action and you will see just how night and day the difference is from the Atrix-Webtop 2.0/1.2 experience. My take on it is that it essentially turns your phone interface experience into a tablet+keyboard+mouse experience--meaning that you get to a comparable performance to your phone-mode in tablet-mode, which you can navigate with the keyboard and touchpad in native resolution. ICS has a great deal more flexibility in this department. I watched videos of the RAZR Webtop 3 experience with an eye on the little things like stuttering, delay, touchpad usefulness, keyboard input lag, and other little nitpicks. It's about 85% of what I wish ICS and a lapdock to be capable of. That's a far cry from the 20% I got from the Atrix lapdock and stock (or Gentoo or Ubuntop) experiences I had. It just didn't work at all.
Droid Bionic ROMs were being pulled from the Moto development cloud by the end of June. There's been at least 4 since a couple days ago. The Xyboard something-or-other had it's first the other day. Moto's ICS rollout schedule is so far on track. I feel comfortable conjecturing that we US MB860 users will at the LEAST have a couple flashable development ROMs leaked by the end of July. And those will defffffinitely include Webtop 3.0.
So buck up gents. It's Coming Soon. ICS.

Looks nice, the dpi does look about right for the lapdock, everything is small enough to work nice with a mouse. The lapdock 500 has multi touch scrolling doesn't it? How easy is it to use android with the trackpad and is it ergonomic without multi touch? I use a right click and scroll plug in installed on firebox which makes a huge difference with the terrible trackpad on the atrix lapdock but obviously this won't work on Webtop 3.
Looking forward to your answer, im looking foreward to alot of the improvements but the atrix and it's dock was never designed for Webtop 3 so I'm a little bit nervous about how some things will work. I use my lapdock nearly every day and I want it to be as useful as possible!
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Yes the multi touch scrolling compared to using the ATRIX lapdock I had before is much nicer, before that I typically clicked on the pg up and pg down keys for web pages... for scrolling desktops and app drawer you kind of just click towards the edge of the screen to move over to the next page. The experience in general is much simpler and faster because you don't have to deal with resizing the mobile view or changing between portrait and landscape it is all in one screen now all the time like a regular android device. Windowed mode is no more which makes it feel less like a desktop device but tapping the third button at the bottom left opens a task switcher that works very well.

[Q] output

being a total newbie to tablets i am looking to finally delve in with a nexus 10, it looks a amazing machine, and everything i am looking for, well except for one item.
i regularly use my laptop to give presentations, and need to connect to a projector via vga.
Colleagues use the iPad, and it is seamless, but personally i prefer the android route.
From all my research i have come to the conclusion that this is not feasible on the nexus 10?
cant beleive such a high ens spec machine cannot support it.
Please any one shed some light.
Thanks

VGA is low spec...
Get a HDMI to vga adapter.

Adapters are cheap stuff. You will need two, though: micro-HDMI to HDMI, and from there, HDMI to VGA.

I assume then it just mirrors the screen?

I feel for you man! At work we have to put up with the worst equipment paid for with ginormous amounts of money.
At my work, the technical coordinator bought a Smartboard, which is a giant touchscreen with a few software extras. It is about a 70" inch screen and has been introduced as the more expensive top model. Naturally, I brought some equipment to take it through a test drive - an hdmi adapter for my Galaxy S3 and some 1080p trailers.
Then came realisation - not only do they connect it via VGA to the presentation pc, it only supports 1366 * 768 max resolution (the S3 would happily output 1080p if supported). Piece Of Crap Deluxe. At least they extended a HDMI cable to where the PC stands, but it doesn't have a suitable graphics adapter. Will still look crappy anway when they eventually upgrade that one. :crying:

LApdock for Motorola Atrix HD 4g

thought i would inject some helpful spam here for those lookking to tinker with the lapdock and their Razr HD/Maxx. The lapdock is avaliable at Radio Shack at its discontinued price of $9.97. I know because i work there and i have bout 3 of them. They are in short supply so be savvy and call up a store and ask the manager if they have sku 1706310 in stock. And if not, ask if any other RS's in the area have any in stock.
Other posts have mentioned the dock working in mirror mode + keyboard/mouse and i can confirm. So Good luck/Happy hunting
Too bad I do not live in the US... I have an original Atrix Lapdock but the position of the HDMI and Micro USB is reversed so that the new generations cannot dock with the previous accessories.

Yes, but a quick search will show you instructions on how to swap the ports (some plastic removal is necessary) so you can use with Razr HD.
Thanks for pointing that out!! I just made that and the original atrix lapdock works wonderfully with the RAZR HD. Does look with good resolution.

Yes once you open the plastic, you will need an exacto knife to cut proper spacing but all that is required otherwise is to switch each both 180 degrees
so i just put mine in my Bionic lapdock which fits perfectly but without the software that powered it it is not very useful and not full screen.

I have an original ATRIX 4G Lapdock that I have working with my Maxx HD. It works but has the downside of not upping the screen resolution. It is equivalent to using 640x480 on your desktop monitor. As a result of this it'll be collecting dust for me for the foreseeable future.

The resolution of the lapdock is: 1366x768 - 60Hz <-- Motorola Atrix 4G Lapdock
By contrast, the DefyHD is 1280x720 already. So you wouldn't be losing much by just hdmi mirroring.

I went the quick and dirty route for modding it.
Flip the phone stand up as though you were going to put the phone in it.
Remove the rubber caps on the sides of the stand to expose the screws. (See attached image)
Remove the screws.
I decided that I would just take the USB and HDMI connectors and expose them rather than flip them around (I had an OG Razr that wouldn't work on the stand).
If you choose to go my route I suggest cutting a corner off the stand so that the cables can come out of it for use on pretty much any phone regardless of connector configuration.
If not, adjust the seating of the connectors to the necessary positioning for your phone.
Close everything back up and replace the screws.

Basically, the issue is tablet vs phone dpi, which isn't easily swapped, but it's being worked on.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876790&page=9
One guy has created a script that will swap from 240dpi (phone) to 120dpi (tablet) essentially quadrupling the screen real estate. This is on the Atrix, however, and I'm not sure what the default dpi is for the RazrHD but it's progress that might benefit us as well.
There are some apps that will change dpi for rooted devices so I think that this script @EdwardN is referencing could work out well

I have an extra one, unfortunately all the quotes for shipping from the US to start at $50.
I just bit the bullet and spend the $ to get a lapdock from ebay. I got the Bionic version, so it just needed a little work with a needlefile so the Razr HD would sit down on the connectors properly.
Setting overscan to max in settings (stock 4.0.4) makes it full screen. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it to do anything other than mirror mode. Now that I have the thing I'm going to play around with settings a bit more and see if I can get it to be more functional...
