[MOD] Webtop Via HDMI Without a Dock Added support for 4.4.80.MB860 (South Africa)

[Fenny]

yea... see that's the thing ive been looking at logcat... plugging and unplugging the hdmi cable in to see what it is dooing. and around the line
1aa890affffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
is when it is plugged in...

Hmmm... The NVIDIA_HDMI Service should be chiming in right there... even if the above modified files were completely deleted, it would complain about the inability to launch the PortalService I would suggest reinstalling the Deodexed APKs from scratch first... Then reapplying this mod.

*Edit* in Fact you could simply replace the modified files in DG's tar file.

@fenny
Awesome work. Does the hardware dock still work the same after the install? Im suspecting the dock "hands off" in software the signal of the connected monitor to the phone when docked. I still want to keep usb host mode for future mods

Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

Should still work Just fine, but I would backup the modified files first, and report back if it doesn't.

I am so glad i bought this phone... Using the webtop with out needing any dock what so ever just makes this phone the best smartphone in the world...


+10 to fenny and all others involded in getting this mod...

When I plug in the phone through the HDMI, I get the 'Mototola Webtop' and the 'Media Dock' menu that pops up (Motorola Webtop didn't come up before the mod) but when I select the 'Motorola Webtop' function, nothing happens, it just sits there. When I select 'Media Dock' though, it launches, so I know it is no problem with my connection. Does anybody have any idea on what I'm doing wrong?

Im having the same issue with the Phone doing nothing when i plug in the motorola provided HDMI cable.

Did you replace all three APK files?
Sounds like what happened when before the PortalApp apk was unmodified.

Might try clearing your Dalvik cache.

Yes, did exactly as it said with no errors...maybe I'll try wipe dalvik also like you told acardinale.

Okay, tried sevral approaches to get this up I used this method through adb and double checked with root explor I plug in the hdmi and run the command to get into webtop using

su

/osh/etc/init.d/startX.sh

but have no idea where the track pad or the keyboard is it hasn't poped up and I'm lost >,<

Don't run the command at the end. Reboot, plug in, should go into webtop, if its the first time, could take 8-10 seconds.

 

[NguyenHuu]

How is input handled via this method? Will I need a keyboard?

when you connect, it turns your phone's lcd into a trackpad. you use it to move the mouse. there is also a little keyboard icon on the screen that you can toggle and use the onscreen keyboard on the phone's screen to type

Oh, okay well I rebooted waited plugged the cable in and nothing happens my tv switches to 720p I let it sit without touching it no pop up or anything then it times out.. any way to start the steps over see if something didn't match up? I backed up the stock /system/app directory before starting (jic)

 

[acardinale]

I am at a loss. I dont know how to get my webtop back. I've reinstalled Adeo which does clear the Dalvik Cache. Still no success. Also I've tried a factory reset to no avail.

I do not have a backup of my /system.

i believe we need to get the PortaApp service running again. I just dont know how.

 

[Fenny]

On the off chance that it's something weird, check the permissions on the APK files in the /system/app folder. mine are RW-R--R--

Did you freeze any apps in the system? There is one that is suggested in the thread that breaks this mod its something like com.Motorola.extdisp

Repaired permissions, no change in the condition.

Apps were frozen, yes.

I can't install these apk's through root explorer. Keeps saying Application not installed, and I can't use adb to push.

Don't "install" them. Use root explorer to copy over and replace the original files.

*facepalm* Can't believe I didn't think of that. Thanks

EDIT: Getting a FC loop when I replaced the original portal file.

 

[acardinale]

I believe the root explorer method is what broke webtop. it seems all that have used the ADB method have had success.

Should the permissions for all three files be rw-r--r--

Now,
Reboot.

Out of curiosity... try running "ls -l" in /system/app

And post the results here.... Maybe the owner of the files got fecked.
