Any good solution to lapdock and CM7/9? - Atrix 4G General

I was wondering if there are any good solutions out there to using the lapdock with CM7 or 9? I use it for note taking and have done full linux etc. but really all I need it for is note taking. CM7 just shows a portrait view of your phone when plugged in right? If it was landscape that would be great since then I could use Evernote's android app or something.
Anyone got any good solutions to using the lapdock with CM7?
P.S. I know just using a Blur ROM is a solution.

No, there isn't any solution at the moment. I doubt that we will even see webtop in cm7/9.

o I wish the would just upgrade to ics officially! I just got a atrix 4g and a lapdock

Ya I bought the phone specifically to use the lapdock so I stick to blur roms.

Well at least ics us coming but I'm worried by the time its out I will be switching carriers and they won't support the atrix because of different band they run on.

landscape HDMI mirror works now in the newest CM7 and CM9 ROMs, just FYI.

[Q] How to enable HDMI mirroring? CM7

I'm on CM7 Ba2tF.
AFAIK portrait mirroring should be enabled by default, but when I plug the cable in, nothing happens. My external display says "no video input" and Atrix says nothing.
Cable is tested and 100% OK.
Display also works with other devices.
HDMI on atrix worked fine with Aura ROM which I had previously.
Now what?
is it possible that the charging plug must also be in at the same time?
Nope. The last time I tried portrait mirroring, all I had in was the hdmi cable.

Interesting .. Try reflashing, fixing permissions and try again. It has always worked on mine.
CM7 ROMS do not support HDMI Mirroring yet, only blur based ROMS (aura, darkside, etc.) Are able to do HDMI. Please look here: http://code.google.com/p/atrix-dev-team/
Under the working/not working section to check

Cm7 has had working portrait mirroring since day one of beta, it's landscape that doesn't work.
You can try to reflash the ROM, it's always worked for me right off the bat.

** sorry** yes he ^^^ is right. Vertical mirroring should be functional but not horizontal yet
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
i hope in future builds will work
Why is it that horizontal mirroring doesn't work? I'm not trying to get some super technical explanation. I understand it works in blur based and since cm7 isnt blur based it isn't compatible. but I imagine its got to have many similarities? is it just an added string in a file that we aren't aware of or is there something missing? I'm just curious? It's intriguing that vertical mirroring is fine so I imagine that the setting or string we need to add is sitting right under our noses!
yes something is missing so only portrait works its tottaly a differnt beast than landscape

I'm running the neutrino rom and HDMI portrait works fine but I'd like more resolution and landscaping. This thread is months old so any updates? What about an HDMI media player? Or playing fullscreen tetra 2 games over HDMI?
Thanks

Neutrino vs Darkside

I know its all personnel preference. But what rom is better. I'm looking for that happy medium for smooth performance with GREAT battery life. I am already running cm7 bat whatever its its alright. I have no need for webtop. HDMI mirrioring would be cool of it was landscape and was stable. And wireless hot spot and working gps is a must. Just wanting to flash something new and stick with it tired of dashing different things and having to set up my phone again any help will greatly be appreciated
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I've noticed 15-18% better battery on Darkside than that on cm7 and I used to get great battery on that one so go figure
Plus, all works here pretty smoothly.
Here's a shot of what I'm talkin about
Sent from my Atrix 4g using Tapatalk
If your looking for speed go with Neutrino. Honestly its by far the fastest rom I have ever used. Battery is great, and the creator is very helpful with any problems you have.
Highly recommended!!
I have yet to be disappointed with darkside was playing around with miui for awhile. probably go to that once development is further along but back to darkside for now

I've bin on DarkSide since version 2.0
Love it so far
right now on 4.4 lite version.
Although with all the cool stuff added on to the newer version it seems just a bit slower to me then back when i was on 2.xxx versions, but they are worth it.
still much better then anything stock though. (maybe it's just me, maybe it's not slower, or maybe it's just my phone, I don't know...)
big thanks to Nottach for such a great work and his time!

Hi all,
i use both, jumping from Neutrino to DarkSide & vice-versa via Nand-BackUp (and trying also others).
Neutrino is so smooth, fast and battery +/- the same as DarkSide.
Anyway i've found the DarkSide surprisingly similar about performance. Then mind that if you like to use WebTop or LapDock ROMs based on CM7 as Neutrino haven't these features.
I like Neutrino but it is more like pre-beta stage to me. It takes too much tweaking to get it to act normal. Currently on darkside 2.8 using landscape hdmi support
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I always keep coming back to DarkSide 4.2 Lite
It's been pretty stable, fast and has all the bells and whistles I need (specially Webtop and Fingerprint Scanner).
I'm hoping that some day I could stick with MIUI once it matures enough, I'm willing to let go my Webtop as long as I can use HDMI Landscape Mirror with my Lapdock.
Miui alpha 3. Best battery life on my atrix out of any custom rom. Only thing is, porn doesn't load from the browser, and games have to be played on silent.
Besides that it's gold.

The Darkside, the best based motoblur. Neutrino, the best ROM. Neutrino is smooth, CM7 based with MIUI camera.
Just flashed neutrino 1.4 some time back. I think the battery is draining rather fast. But i'll let it stick for another week before I go back to Darkside. Motoblur still has a lot of my contacts which won't show up when I install any of the cm7 based roms .
Between Darkside and cm7 I feel Darkside had rather significantly battery life. However, the customizability of cm7 may be worth the sacrifice. To each his own, pick your favorite.

Porn on the phone is just not the same. But I hate the silence on my Siri clone apps.
Running MIUI Alpha
Hi I have been running neutrino 1.4s ee for week prior to that cm 7.1. I think neutrino has been quicker generally but it is very stripped down so by the time you have added things back to it think it then seems to have slowed up a bit. Boot is very quick, but my GPS doesn't work. I think they're trying to fix in next update. Quite a few fc's too. Tempted to try darkside soon though.
Edit. And I just had my first random reboot! But for some reason I prefer it to cm...

Disable network/wifi when screen is off

Does an ICS ROM on the Atrix have this option? If not does anyone know of an app that does that? I know my tablet has that but it'd not available on my Note. My Atrix has am of version of cm 7.

I don't know about ics having an option, but I use wifi keep alive on play market. Works good with cm7 rc1 but haven't tested any ics roms.
I use JuiceDefender Ultimate for this, seems to work pretty well for me.

So...How Do You Like the 4.0.4 OTA on Your VZW Xoom?

Thread title says it all. What do you like? What do you hate?
For me, I'm generally very happy with it. I love the speed and responsiveness as compared to Honeycomb. I love the ICS user interface as well. It isn't all that different from Honeycomb, granted, but it's the little things. I love the page transition effect on the app drawer, the Roboto font is much more readable, and I love being able to swipe away notifications. Honestly, the notification swipe is one of the only things I truly missed about running CyanogenMod in years past. Did I mention I love being able to run Chrome finally?!
As for things I don't like...mainly aesthetics. I'm annoyed that it didn't come with the default ICS "Phase Beam" live wallpaper, but it's alright. I just ganked it from a deodexed stock Galaxy Nexus ROM and it installed fine on the Xoom. Ditto for the "Adara" notification sound.
How about you?

Meh so far. To me battery is worse, 3g signal seems worse, pulse lags just as much.
Need to root and go to an OC'd ics rom.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
Pulse lag is most likely the app. At first, I actually thought battery life was better but now that a week has gone by, it actually seems the same for me as it was on Honeycomb...and for me, the new radio seems better, though admittedly I live in a 4G market so I'm not sure how the 3G reception is vs. Honeycomb.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2
Radio is definitely better for me. Batt life seems marginally better, too, though I'm back on EOS nightly since they have the new radios... def improved batt, with all the addtl features and smoothness EOS brings.
I wish it didn't try to launch an app every time I put it in a dock. There are dock controls in Settings on my Galaxy Nexus but not this?

Stock browser crashes all the time if I request desktop version of websites, or if I use google image search desktop version and open more than 4 tabs.
Otherwise, runs good, better 4g connection, and I am a little more than pissed Verizon didnt include SMS/MMS with the ICS upgrade.
I still haven't gotten it. Wth?

I just installed this app called Docktor, which cancels the launching of an app every time your dock your Xoom, since it bugged me too!
Instead it just gives you a little pop-up so that your default is overridden.
Hope this helps; it certainly got rid of my annoyances
I eventually came back to stock because I wanted to be able to watch google play movies. Plus the app I Ned to use no longer required root to work. I am enjoying the ota quite a bit and have noticed my battery life extended quite a bit from EOS 2.0

I am liking my stock xoom way more than I thought. Honestly with ice cream sandwich I am needing less and less to try out new roms.

You have to be running Android 3.2.6 HLK75H in order to update to 4.0.4. It's odd that you didn't get an update to 3.2.4 or 3.2.6...Is your boot loader unlocked? Do you have a custom recovery installed?

I was on CM9 but completely restored my Xoom to stock because non of the 4.0 custom roms would work with my Xoom. Its like no matter what rom I was on something hardware related would always malfunction. As of now it is locked and back to stock but aprently stuck at 3.2.2.

Water Testing

Well I have been learning to build from source for the past couple of weeks and have several new project I have been playing with. I figured I would test the waters here at xda and see if anyone is interested in them.
1. Team Baked's newest black bean - 4.2.2 - along with the blackdome kernel
2. RootBox - Also 4.2.2 - again with blackdome kernel
3. CM 7.2 Supersonic - Tablet edition -- This is being built for a xda member who has helped me out. His Og is not in service as a phone. None of the telephone/radio is included. Everything else is (gps, wifi, HDMI out, camera).
4. CyanMobile - gingerbread 2.3.8 - This one has given me nothing but issues but I want it up and running badly. Everyone wants Jellybean on their phone and this will be the next best thing for those. Being gingerbread everything should work (ffc, 4g, netflix, etc..) and with this they have taken most of the cool features and back ported them to gb.
5. BeerGang's Jelly Beer - Cm 10.1 based - will also have the blackdome kernel
Umm.. anyone notice a pattern? Darn you TronIt!!! Why must you make such a killer kernel? Lol!
Oh since this is done from source I am also doing these same roms for the 3vo.... not much more work and twice as many roms!! Maybe time for more devices.
Nice work,JL,im up for giving all of them a try when you finish.

I had two evo 4g's but I set one up with miui and gave it to my daughter to replace her ipod touch. Her screen was shattered and it only sort of worked.
She really likes the ios style and once i showed her miui she never looked back. She now has better games and more features plus she can hook it to her flat screen and stream movies in hd.
