Webtop ROM

[BigJeff]

I saw a developent post in general android hacking and developing that said "to port the ROM of your choice choose the resolution needed for your device." Is there anyway that the Atrix could be forced to run a CM based ROM that is made for 1366x768 rather than 960x540; this would prevent the horrible pixilation problem in HDMI mirroring for the lapdock... Just a thought.

I don't think I understand your reply...

I think it is possible, you could even mod it to set the resolution when you want but it may require a reboot for each resolution change (Or not... The Asus PadFone does it on-the-fly after all), but the remaining problems are : Will it boot correctly ? Can we use the HDMI output as main output to bypass the screen ?

That's a good matter for a productive talk.

I'm not a dev, nor do I have the time to juggle learning and finals, regardless. Is it possible to create a lapdock ROM like this? It'd be great if someone could input. Thanks.

I had a look but don't see the thread. Any chance you can post a link?

I would appreciate this as well. Right now lapdock looks ugly.

OK, so the purpose of that thread is to qualify a rom to port. They are saying to choose a ROM whose source resolution matches the target device screen resolution. I don't know if this will help to eliminate screen scaling. I think what we need is a method to force the HDMI to become the primary display. The Screen Standby app has some work in development that may make this possible one day.
