I should be getting my lapdock soon and I set up dual boot so I can have a ROM dedicated for use with the dock. I was wondering if there was a way that I could get the reboot script to run when HDMI was connected. Android doesn't seem to have udev rules so is there another way to do it?

first thing I can think is to use Tasker but I don't know if there is hdmi options..
see if this can help
Yeah from what it looks like there is that that there's nothing triggered by connecting HDMI. I wonder if I could trigger it on the keyboard connection though.

I have successfully paired my ps3 bluetooth headset and wireless keypad to my view running honeycomb (gingerbread with the headset) and they both work flawlessly.
The wireless keypad has a touch mode which enables the keypad to double as a mouse.
It takes some time to get used to using the keypad for full navigation but it's a nice option to have along with bluetooth keyboards.
It's a nice alternative to the $50+ bt keyboards and so much more smaller. Give it a try sometime if any of you have access to these items.
Interesting. Did both work wih Gingerbread?
What did you do to get them paired? I guess there is a special USB cable to hook them to the tablet for pairing?
Are you rooted? Have you modified the build.prop? Is your mic on the headset working or is it just media. I tried to connect my motorola finiti and all I got was media.

I only tried the headset on gingerbread, not the keypad. Pairing is the same for any bt accessory; put the accessory in pairing mode, turn on bluetooth on the tablet then enter the passcode when instructed.

Yes I am rooted. On gingerbread I modified the bt profiles number and set service.brcm.bt.ag_supported to 1. After that I rebooted and made some calls with the headset and the mic worked flawlessly. On honeycomb the bt profiles number is already correct for the same devices so all you need to do is set ag_supported and pair the accessories.
Can u post a picture of the pad or a link to where we cab buy it

This is the keypad I am using

Both work great on honeycomb. On gingerbread I only tested the headset, not the keypad.
I just got one over the weekend, ill try it on the GB view, the pads were on sale for $25 at BB.
So the pad u r using its like a key board and trackball? In other words u can control the tablet completely from the pad ?

Just about. The only downside is you have to switch between touchmode/trackball mode and typing, you can't do both at the same time. It isn't hard though to switch between the two as it has it's own dedicated button to go between the modes.
I haven't tested it with games but honestly that's the only time I prefer to actually touch the screen. Other than that, it's nice to be able to let my tablet sit on my night stand and just control it with the keypad.
And at less than $30 (average) you can't beat the portability factor.
All I can say is between the keypad and the headset I don't always have to be near the tablet to touch it for simple tasks.
No on hc view.

Do you actually have the headset paired to Hands-Free or just Media Audio?
I used the headset to make phone calls on my view tablet.

You are able to use the mic on the BT headset to make calls on Honeycomb? How?
Skype, grooveip. On the headset you also have to press the phone button.

What I mean is that the HFP profile is disabled in Honeycomb. Even if the build.prop is edited it will show, but devices won't actually connect to it. I'm wondering how you got around that issue.
I'm wondering the same exact thing. Can someone shed light on this. My headset won't actually connect either and it's driving me nuts because the build.prop method seemed like a sure fix. Someone please help!
The build prop is not a fix. LEEDroid is working ona a fix, but no solution yet. Check his thread / ROM
I am only interested in the keypad.
Will the PS3 one work on an unrooted/stock evo view?
I have flashed wanamlite rom. And now I insert phone on Samsung dock the dock mode cannot be triggered also the audio cannot be output. Previously it worked well with Samsung stock rom. Any solution?

Does it not have the option to throughput the audio in Settings>System>Dock?
Funny, I wanted to stop dock mode in my previous SGS2 because it sent my phone mental every time rendering it unusable.
If it's not going in dock mode when plugged into the Samsung dock could it have been disabled in the ROM perhaps?

I have checked the option in setting but doesn't help. It doesn't enter dock mode anyway

I'm sure they'll know more about it in the Wanamlite-rom thread over in Android development
Is it possible to connect a normal USB keyboard, non-wireless, non-bluetooth, just a normal keyboard with the s3?
Would be handy for typing longer emails etc.
Yes, it's possible. You just need a OTG cable.
Sent from my GT-I9300
Is it also possible to use both keyboard and mouse? I can use either with Otg cable but a usb multi plug stops either from working. Is it my cheap multi usb adaptor I wonder?

From the looks of this video it should be possible to connect multiple devices.
I just tried my powered USB hub. My keyboard, mouse, flash drive, printer and my gamepad were all recognized at the same time and worked perfectly.

So it looks like a powered multi usb hub is the only way.

I have a keyboard with a built-in usb port. I can plug my wireless mouse dongle in there and attach the keyboard to my phone without issues. But I guess the technology behind this is a small usb hub as you mentioned already so it's not exactly a new way of solving this.

I wonder what the smallest most portable mouse keyboard combo is?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Logitech has some nice keyboards and mice. If you buy the ones with the orange "Unify" logo, you can use a single Nano Receiver through OTG to use the keyboard and mouse afaik.
However you'll have to pair them on a Windows/Mac computer first.
Depending on how much you like software-hacking, here's a protocol description which probably could allow you to build your own Pairing app for Android

So I'm running laytveyit v5 and have installed ubuntop according to the directions on the main post. Everything seemed to install fine and the phone runs really well. I'm just having some strange issues my searching isn't getting answers for.
Issue 1 is HDMI mirroring. It's worked properly once and I have no idea why. I plug in my cable and the atrix knows it's there and I select HDMI mirroring and that's as far as it gets. The tv just shows the screen as it was when I selected mirroring, nothing changes, just sits there, even rotates if I turn the phone. Any ideas on that?
Issue 2 is ubuntop loads and just has desktop and a blank phone view window. The menu/dock has never shoed up properly, but the phone view part also only worked one time and I have no idea why. Ideas for that one?
I apologize if these are easily fixed issues, I really have searched and found nothing that will help.
Apparently no one knows what's up here. Sad face.

When you plug the HDMI, there is a popup that lets you choose an action. You most likely checked the little check box in the popup which makes mirroring the default action.
Try clearing the cache for the HDMI picker. (don't know its exact name)

No box checked, I get the picker everytime, it just doesn't seem to want to work for some reason.
Looks like it was the rom at fault. Installed noattchrix and it's been running like a champ all day.

Just wanted to bump this to see if they're is a way to fix the issue. After testing many times I can't set the navigation or Netflix while connected to the mhl adapter and moving in the car. But as soon as I unplug the adapter both load.
