I will be handling port requests through my website. If there is enough demand and the device can support it, I will work with developers to get this ported to your device. Start a thread in your respective device's forum to see if there is enough demand and refer them to this thread and the website for details.

To make things easier you device needs the following:
The ability to run a CyanogenMod 7 ROM
High resolution video out (HDMI preferred for ease of porting)

way cool.

I thought this would be possible when I bought my EVO. I can't wait to try this.

Thanks lokifish

I actually had something like about ten years ago. I used a Toshiba E740 and the A/V Dock to do it.

how about a video in action so we can see what its like?

I've been wanting to try this forever. However I've upgraded to CM7 and they don't have the mouse pointer support, so I guess I'll have to wait to see if/when it's included. I want it, but not bad enough to downgrade to CM6. Back to rockin angry birds on the 50" Plasma. Although I'm using HDMwIn.

I was really happy when I saw mouse pointers in the commit for CM7 but it ended up getting rejected. The rumor was for cosmetic reasons which if true is pretty lame. I also have issue with the stability/bugs of CM7 too but that's a different matter.

The setup really doesn't depend on one app or the other for mirroring.

Yea, I had i asked about it over on the CM7 Thread, and this was the conversation over there, and the response that I had gotten.So hopefully in CM7.1??

Hello all,

First, let me say what an Awesome ROM CM is. I love it and I love CM7 even better.


I was hoping to request that the Mouse Pointer for BT HiD mice that was in CM6 could be brought into CM7?

I would make a huge impact on my use of the ROM and I am sure for others also.

HDMI mirroring and the cursor = perfection.

Anyone know if that is even being worked on ? Now that we have HDMI, 4G, keyboard via BT, it is the last remaining piece of the puzzle to make the EVO a full-fledge laptop replacement when traveling...

I wanted to ask this question again, does anyone have any other information regarding the mouse pointer? I ask because this thread mentions the possibility of it being included in CM7 Final. I was able to get the HID support for the keyboard to work with Bluetooth just like on RC4, however still no mouse pointer that I'm able to locate.

There are a few CM6 features that aren’t part of CM7 yet, but they are in the queue for 7.1 already.

Edit: After reading over the submitted change from the before-mentioned thread, I can see why it was not included. The easiest-to-explain issue is the fact that the mouse pointer is static in size and color, regardless of theme or screen resolution.

Need feedback
There is a way to assign scripts to hardware keys. So yes or no guys? If yes, what would you liike to see.

This is great. There aren't a lot of people really into this apparently, but I love the idea. I've played with it quite a bit, but you've fixed a lot of problems by doing it this way. I didn't know there was a way to get accelerated HDMI out on CM6. And for some reason I didn't ever think to change the LCD density when using HDMI out, duh!

The biggest problem to me is the lack of a Ctrl key. I had noticed this back on CM6. Part of what I like so much about this setup is just skipping the mouse and using CLI stuff. But without a ctrl key, things are a pain. I think connect bot maps ctrl to the trackball. I didn't see anything in your keyboard map that indicated trackball select, but maybe there is a way to map something that way.

You mentioned that the keys in red caused problems, is that no matter what they are mapped to? You did map the alt keys, maybe we could map them to ctrl or to trackball press.

OP updated: Click on the Evo Desktop pic to see the demo video.

Update: "Desktop UI" browser poll added. I may be able to get Maxthon Browser on board with this project by giving a "Desktop UI" option in their browser. They do ofcourse want to make sure there is a demand first.

 

[rugedraw]

This is cool enough so that I may keep a NAND backup of CM6 just to be able to do this. I wish I had more time to help test this out and provide feedback. I know how much time you have put into this Loki.......thank you for all your efforts.

Can you elaborate for on what the poll question means? By "Desktop UI", do you mean that the browser itself would be in another format that would allow this to work better?

Imagine if your phone's browser had a "Desktop" skin that was a clone if it's desktop equal. The current issue with browsing the web while mirroring is the the browsers take up way too much of the screen. I've inserted a comparison of mobile browsers vs a "Desktop UI" browser skin example (far right) showing almost all the same buttons at the same time. For a better comparison, download the image and view it full screen your PC. I hope this clears things up.

This is interesting.I think I might have to try this. It will be tomorrow but if I give it a go ill report back.

I'm using a BT mouse and pointer with CM7 nightly 41 right now. Hopefully the newest code, submitted on April 17th will be accepted. It is currently under review.

So you're saying nightly 41 has mouse pointers? Guess I need to nandroid and flash 41.

Ahhh... good ol' e740... loved that Toshiba PDA (carried it everywhere along with my Wallaby

Fantastic guide, I will post this in the Portal shortly.
