I know! I ordered mine today, not shipping until Aug. 14th.
It depends on how "hackable" the GoogleTV version of Android is.

Any news on the co-star? A lot of them have been shipped.
Btw, can anyone give me the specs of the power supply? I'm interested mostly in the Voltage input range. Since I'm going to use it in EU I'd like to know if I need another power supply or I can hook it up to a wallplug adapter. Would be great if the input range is 110-240V.
The power supply takes 100-240v ~50-60Hz, max 0.6A
Super duper standard.
That's good news.
I hope that rooting and custom firmware development will start soon for the box.
Anyone able to figure out how to side load apps? Just got mine and noticed it's running firmware version 2.3.1.
Can anyone with one do me a favor? Can you see if you can export the OnLive APK that comes on it and send it to me somehow? I have the Sony GS7 which has the same processor but it doesn't come with OnLive, I was hoping I could sideload it.

I downloaded dropbox from the market then uploaded the apks to dropbox. Also adb should work over wifi, if you want more information on this let me know.

I searched for any file with on live in the name using esFileExplorer but nothing was found. Maybe its in a protected folder. There is no root for the CoStar yet, so that could be the problem?

Are you sure that uploaded APK is the one for the Vizio CoStar? I believe they have a few versions based on the chipset of the client device. I tried it and it force closes.

I pulled the ge.tt file from my co-star using adb, it was in /data/app I don't know too much as to why the force closes would happen. I have had that happen for a lot of side loaded apps I thought should work also. Did you try rebooting it?
There might be some other files required for it to run, I'm not sure how to find out what they are though.

Has anyone seen any update on this anywhere? I've had the Co-star since launch and have been wanting to root it since release. Honestly I just wish I could put ICS or JB on it and run 'normal' Android apps on it, the app selection is so much better there.

The thing that makes me sad is the Co-Star has a bonafide hack out there that's been demoned a few places. It's been out since release, but I have yet to see any updates on how to actually DO IT =(.
I wish someone would document how to hack it so at least others can take up the task of re-roming it if those who hacked it aren't willing.

No, because that would be warez (& against the forum rules)
Notch has said that it will be released on other Android devices soon.
They have stated that the Xperia exclusivity is temporary, so they had to develop it with other devices in mind. I wouldn't be surprised if it already worked, although there may be some simple device security checks that need to be stripped out.

I think one of the reasons they released it exlusively to the xperia play is that it has a game pad. They will have to add a virtual game pad for it to be usable on any other phone and I think they are still probably working on it, unless anyone can confirm they already have a working virtual game pad...

i found a copy of the demo thats been fixed so it installs, not telling where but it's not hard to find.
i've tried it on my cappy and my nook color, it'll start on both, but screen isn't centered and touchscreen menus are off on the NC. the game only runs for about 30-60 seconds before locking up.
the ps3 controller with the sixaxis bluetooth drivers works but needs to be remapped. right stick doesn't work for looking around.
Is it not possible to mimick the xperia buttons? Such as wasd being dpad and aim trackball?
found the xperia key mappings from the official Sony blog but they still don't work right when remapped.

Hi all,
I'm very interested in getting Minecraft Pocket Edition working on other devices.
I think I'm getting close to figuring out how the Xperia Play sends the events to the apps.
However, in order to make my life easier and not search mindlessly through the kernel, it would be extremely helpful if someone who had a rooted Xperia Play would run the command 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices' and post the result here. ('su' before that, of course)
All 'cat' does it read text from the file '/proc/bus/input/devices'. (it won't email me your texts )
In case no one with a rooted Xperia Play sees this, I'll keep wading through the kernel to see if I can find it on my own.
Thanks,
John
Cant wait to have it to work! I purchase a pc licence Hope it will work on pocket edition...
I have a Samsung Fascinate so no sixaxis (wont work) many game have virtual keyboard hopefully it will be quick...
flamesbladeflcl, witch version are you using?
Thank's have a good day
Its best to leave it up to the crackers which is beyond the scope of xda.
The main issue is the controls.
Also there are clones of minecraft out there for all devices.
I have poked around a bit and found a way to enable looking-around in the MCP using touchscreen. It is a quick hack, so you loose the ability to use the touchscreen while navigating the menus.
All I did is replace all the touchscreen events with the touchpad ones. So the game thinks that your touchscreen is a big touchpad.
You can see a video and get a download link here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pNe3hBlKfg
Seeing as the Touchpad (known as "TP" from this point on) section is my hangout most of the day (I have a desk job...they don't expect me to actually work do they? pfft...) I have noticed a lot of confusion for people just coming over to the TP with Android and I know myself and many others get frustrated answering the same questions over and over again in the same threads, so I thought I'd try to put something together for what I think are the most common questions. Please add to the thread and I will update the OP. I'm hoping maybe this could be something we all could link to newbies so they can better help themselves familiarize themselves.
Please keep in mind that the TP is not a native Android device, meaning it was not designed to operate with Android on it. Being that this is the case, some things just aren't going to work until extensive work is done. We don't have drivers for some things etc. Patience is a virtue, yadda yadda and all that jazz.
If you do not have Android on your TP, here's how to get CM7 on your TP.
Lets do this.
I just installed Android and as soon as it starts up, it reboots! HALP!
It's sokay! Let it reboot a few times by itself. In my experience, it would reboot four times and then be fine. Why's it do it? I dunno...it just does.

Does the Touchpad have GPS?
Short answer: NO. Long answer: Maybe? Some people claim that the Snapdragon APQ8060 CPU that is in the TP has the capability, and it certainly is a possibility as this the same CPU that is in a bunch of high end phones (T-Mobile Galaxy S II, Galaxy S II Skyrocket, HTC Vivid, Galaxy S II LTE, LG Nitro HD, etc). Maybe some day a developer will unlock it if it is a possibility. Currently though, there is no GPS on the TP.

What does the TP use for video?
The Snapdragon APQ8060 has a Adreno 220 GPU.
Adreno 220 GPU
Available in the Snapdragon S3 chipset, the Adreno 220 GPU features an enhanced level of 3D graphics performance, allowing for high-end, immersive gaming experiences previously limited to PCs and game consoles.

Does the camera work?

What versions of Android are available for my TP?
Currently there are three. Cyanogenmod 7, Cyanogenmod 7 XRON-ified and MIUI 2.3.7. Currently, CM7 XRON-ified is the only one being actively developed, and it's great. Here's the main thread for it, show the developer Leoisright some love.

QQ !My WiFi is broked! QQ
Oi, this one has been beat to living hell and back. Wifi, for some works flawlessly, for others it doesn't work at all and yet for others it is finicky at best. The current "best" known fix, is just to uninstall everything. and then reinstall using the link I posted at the beginning of this thread. There are some applications that are said to correct the issue as well, but I haven't had any issues so I will include those as soon as someone refreshes my memory. :EDIT: Changing the channel to your router to either 4 or 10 seems to correct a lot of wifi issues. :EDIT 2: Here's a very good thread about correcting wifi. :EDIT 3: Make sure your date and time is set correctly in Settings.

Not yet, but it will. Dalingrin (follow him on twitter for updates, but DO NOT BUG HIM ABOUT ETA'S). He is a very good dev, one of the best. He's the one responsible for CM7 on both the TP and the Nook Color and he will be responsible for CM9 on the TP as well.

This is another known issue that we don't have a real fix for. Some claim a reboot fixes it temporarily.

Great idea and good first start!!! Everyone (not only us noobs) will truly appreciate this. Searching for a nugget in 500+ pages becomes a near impossible task. My only fear is that your FAQ could become almost as unwieldy as the Xron thread. A simple spreadsheet as an attachment in your OP might be helpful. A straight forward listing of known problems with a link to the best answer(s) could probably take care of the vast majority of queries. Expanded narrative for the really complex problems, e.g., wifi issues, could possibly be included in a second spreadsheet or linked back to the appropriate thread for comment. Let me know if I can help.

A few months ago I heard about a company called CornerStone that was demoing TRUE multitasking on Android. It was pretty awesome. It allowed you to run up to 3 apps simultaneously on the screen and you could easily interact with each of them. Check out the video below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX8w3UZIjkc
Just when I thought this project was dead, they dropped a big bomb. Now OnSkreen (which was suppose to be reserved for big manufacturers to use) is now OPEN SOURCE! That means devs can bake this into their ROM and we, the users, can enjoy awesome multitasking capabilities! This is gonna be awesome! Can't wait to see where this goes.

Exactly. Per a quote from the Cornerstone Facebook page:
Cornerstone
We've had a bunch of questions about this so wanted to clear it up. The technology behind Cornerstone has to be part of the Android OS itself. That is why we are working directly with device manufacturers to include Cornerstone with devices they plan to ship. Cornerstone is not an application that you will be able to download from the Android Market.

Yea, me too. It might be real too for all it matters
Wow it would be really nice to have ios running on my SII. i love android, but showing the fanboys that our device can do both. It's priceless. keep up the good work
im interested in this project mostly because would be nice to test performance on the s2 but then you would run into issues like their retina display, apple would never allow it since there platform is copyright, but luckily this guy is named Anonymous
heres a pic from his blog

It would be intresting to see how this would work and i think the galaxy s2 is the perfect phone to test on, but i cant see how he going to get over the legal issues.

If he could create a script or program that could take an IPSW (Firmware file) and make it "android ready" for lack of a better term, he would be completely safe. As the user would be downloading the IPSW and supplying it not him. Also the IPSW are available freely on Apple's site so they couldn't come after the users at that point at all. He just has to find a way to do that (not going to be easy).
Also iOS source is available on apple's dev site for anyone to look at it. It's just mostly copywrited (besides the BSD portions). I'm not sure if all of it's there but I have looked at some of it in the past for hints to exploits for jailbreaking.

Well he has been quiet for a while, so maybe that is what he is working on, i am no dev so wouldent have any idea of how long a process like that would take.

I have some development background, and from my knowledge of iOS and ARM Devices this would be quite a task if this is what he is doing.
I really want to believe this is real but I just found a link from github by someone called Peter42 who freshly uploaded a "BootDroid" code.
Last update to his blog dated 24 March is the same date the files were uploaded.
I have a Motorola Xoom and believe I can't test them.
Could anyone (for God's sake!) confirm whether they were real or not?
If possible, I already downloaded the files and would upload them for you in case original was removed.
this should be awesome, running ios in the powerfull SII... just for shutup the izombies xP
Even better, the upcoming Galaxy SIII!
But for real, can anyone try that?
I just ran the installation process on my Motorola Xoom and didn't notice any difference like a new app nor by or through restarting.
I'm kinda hyped up on this and would love to brag about how Android is superior to iOS if it was true
I heard about this and i think the guy plans to do it by vnc so just displaying the iPhone screen over internet

I don't really know if this was the link to the program or not though it's called the same.
But as I said before, these files were uploaded the day he last updated his post.
You can download it from there.
I don't really know how this should work since it doesn't even have iOS firmware files but I figured someone with a supported device could try and see for himself.
Nothing appeared on my Xoom at all which is not supported!
And, you can uninstall it from the same installation wizard.
Hi everybody !
Sorry for my english, I'm french.
I am really interested on this application, so I wonder if somebody has already succed in make it working ?
I' ve downloaded the Zip package on the website shared on the link below, but I don't understand how to instal it...
I think that even if it's possible to run iOs and Adroid on a Iphone, it woould be difficult to do the same on a androphone beacause iOs in not an open source system ...
Can somebody help me please ?
Thanks to you guys
The good old Smiley, to make the reading happier:
I am looking for suggestions.
What could I use my Lapdock for, now that I made the switch to CyanogenMod?
Is there a good solution for making the VNC'ed ARM Ubuntu (look for Ubuntu Installer in the Play Store) work better with the touchpad? Should I sell it? Is there a solution to make remote control apps such as TeamViewer or Splashtop integrate with the Lapdock's keyboard and touchpad? Is there any way to make the device switch to Tablet mode without rebooting? That would be rather interesting to see. By the way, the CM9 ROM I am currently running has got Landscape HDMI working flawlessly, so that should not be an issue...
PS: Please do not ignore this thread. Any suggestions are welcome! (Use your common sense though)

I've struggled with the same question on my photon.. If there's working hdmi rotation on your CM, you can still use it for typing out documents,etc. I also used the mirror mode to watch movies on a larger(than phone) screen in bed.
But eventually I just decided to go back to a blur rom and use ubuntop (which is awesome) while waiting for official ICS and someone hopefully porting ubuntu 12.04 to webtop..
Paranoid Android Rom
I don't understand why canonical hasn't leaked that awesome ubuntudroid system they showed off.. there isn't an easier way to get feedback especially since webtop has died and windows 8 is pushing hard into that whole 'blur the lines' market

Maybe they are waiting for the unified linux/android kernel 3.4 this would most certainly make it easier to port and updates trivial.

Currently, I use it for watching movies as well, and I am looking forward to pairing a Wii Remote and/or a DualShock® 3 to my Atrix™, so that I can play some games such as GTA III and Shadowgun (Max Payne *-*) on the big screen.
I was happy with Blur until the day I ran into that tempting CM9 thread. I did not know what smoothness and responsiveness really were. Blur was the smoothest I thought it could ever get... But I was wrong, and now I have to choose between fluidity and Webtop. :thumbdown:
I actually went back to Blur some months ago, but unfortunately, prolonged use of ICS can cause dependence. Believe it or not, I was pretty happy with Blur. Webtop was working flawlessly, I even had BackTrack installed, but then came the relapse: I could no longer resist to ICS. I am now back to CM9, and with it comes my dilemma...
I am looking for a way to use the Atrix™ as a more desktop-ish platform when docked (especially to the Lapdock). I believe the ideal would be Ubuntu through a local VNC client, or a remote desktop app, I just wish they would play nicer with the keyboard and touchpad...
Basically, something like a key mapper (easy-to-use, I am still unable to figure out WiiMoteController's key mapping scheme) for Lapdock's hardware. We could make a keyboard-powered Ouya!
What still concerns me though, is that games would not be optimized for it e.g. Minecraft PE, games where the camera angle for example, is controlled by dragging the screen, so it would have to be a really powerful, but easy-to-use key mapper, and since you can't have everything in life, I'm afraid I'm asking for much...

What I understand from your reply is that the Paranoid Android ROM could put my Lapdock back to use. But what is the Paranoid Android ROM? What makes it different from other ROMs? How could it (at least partially) solve my problem?
Please be more specific.

When the official Ubuntu for Android was announced, even though an Atrix 2 was used for the hands-on part, on the project's official hotsite... It was clearly an Atrix™ 4G standing there on the dock. The differences between our device's design and the Atrix 2's or the Defy's (Defy+'s) are not that obvious, but they are, indeed, noticeable.
You do know what that means, don't you? It means it is almost certain that our device will be on the first batch of officially supported devices!
I don't if the Atrix™ is still there, but if it's not, I can try to find the screenshot I took if you'd like.
I am so proud! :beer:

What do you mean? It would have to be ported to each supported device anyway, wouldn't it?

I have never thought I'd say this but, "Please don't get off-topic". I'd appreciate it if this gets settled in a new thread or via PM.
Anyway, you said "stock UbunTop", I could be wrong, but I think it's either stock or UbunTop, which is a mod born right here on our neighbor forum, Android Development.
If yours is really stock, I suggest you get BackTrack from the BackTop project, I don't it's got aircrack built-in, and I was unable to install it, so unless you're an experienced hacker, don't get too excited with BackTrack's features, but my point is: It is amazingly faster than Webtop, it seems lighter, I used to be able to run more than 3 different apps simultaneously...
If yours is really running UbunTop I'm afraid I cannot assist you, since webtop2sd never worked for me and BackTop and WebtopMOD were the only I could ever manage to get working on my device...

I can answer this. What he meant is that you should use Paranoid. Paranoid is a rom thats an hybrid of a phone an a tablet, in short words, you can activate tablet mode for some apps, while some other apps still run in phone-mode, for the ease of use.
What I actually meant was to give a name and a designation, which I did.
Google paranoid android rom and you get the website, the website has a much better explanation then I could or should have to provide.
But yes in short it can give you a tablet UI on lapdock.

I did before you guys answered and after I posted my reply, and was about to post an apology to you, my friend (Random Canadian).
Sometimes my brain takes just way too long to figure some things out...
I am sorry.
Anyway, thank you very much! This might just solve it all!
