{DEV} Lets get Dock with out Buying a Dock

---

One of my many goals of this device is to use the full webtop dock if i choose , how ever i will not purchase a $500 notebook or a $189 dock, currently the system runs checks once HDMI is plugged in and a connection is requested... it than looks for and returns a true or false for if a dock is connected. I am attaching a short clip of the log to get us started. I have pulled apart a few of the programs i believed to be involved but they were missing src directories, they were DockProvider and DockServices, so im assuming its in the framework. anyhow i figured id start the thread on this one and get the ball rolling , more people with exp. the better

Would it be possible to create a program that enables mirroring after the HDMI is connected (and after this check is finished)? You would just need to know what system call and libraries are required to enable mirroring.

We need someone with both the dock and the webtop to post their results.. That'll help fill in the blanks.

Awesome post, I am all for it. Give me a day or two I am willing to pick up the regular dock.

This is what I'm hoping will be accomplished soon.

would REALLY like this....

I think this is more than just software. Mini and Micro USB has a 5th "ID" pin which can be used for just this purpose. I started some research last night, and i'm going to be doing some testing tonight to see if i can work this out. ID is set with resistance values between the ID pin and Ground. If no one beats me to it i'll post my findings.

This is absolutely just software - just check out this video:

Notice how he uses the webtop/citrix client with just the HDMI cable plugged in to the phone!

did you watch the video? He put it in the dock each time. The dock has both a USB and an HDMI cable. Not once did he use webtop with just an HDMI cable.

Sorry guys - posted the wrong link.

This one:

shows the same guy plugging in just the hdmi and the Atrix turns in to a nifty little trackpad!
