How to Free Bionic From HDMI Dock???





this is a flashable zip install method for those less technical of you




 

What this mod works:

It removes the device ID string check from PortalApp, and enables the webtop option in DockService. Replacing these two apk files effectively allows the webtop to launch without proprietary hardware.

What this means to you:

Webtop mode over any HDMI without an expensive dock.

Installation:

Method 1: Flashable ZIP

Flash THIS ZIP File

Method 2: ADB install

Download the package here: http://www.mediafire.com/?aauu692e0xctava

First Get the files to the device and remount /system as rw:

Code:
adb push DockService.apk /mnt/sdcard/
adb push PortalApp.apk /mnt/sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Backup the original files:

Code:
mv /system/app/DockService.odex /system/app/DockService.odex.bak
mv /system/app/PortalApp.odex /system/app/PortalApp.odex.bak
cp /system/app/DockService.apk /system/app/DockService.apk.bak
cp /system/app/PortalApp.apk /system/app/PortalApp.apk.bak

Copy the modded files over fix permissions and reboot:

Code:
cp /mnt/sdcard/DockService.apk /system/app
cp /mnt/sdcard/PortalApp.apk /system/app
chmod 644 /system/app/DockService.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/PortalApp.apk
reboot

Done

Motorola Droid 3 gets rooted......................


The Motorola Droid 3 has been rooted, and while we expect root to happen for most Android phones, there are a couple things here that we want to talk about. To start at the beginning, the goal of any project to exploit or root an Android phone is to get the permissions you want, where you want them. Once you have administrative permissions on a folder you can also write to, you're pretty much set. Security researcher Dan Rosenberg found a fairly easy method to do just that, and we now have a shell root via ADB with no third-party files being used. This means no worries about sketchy files that have been through numerous hands, doing lord knows what when you run them.

To make things even better, Dan has outlined exactly what he did, why he did it, and how you can do it as well. When you read it, it seems so simple, but it's apparent that a lot of research went into this and it's refreshing to see the method presented in such an open way. Yes, this means that the carriers can patch it quickly, but for the vast majority of users that won't be rooting their phone this is a good thing. Dan, we tip our hat to you and there's a standing offer of a frosty beverage or three should you even run across any of us here at AC.

Now, for the method -- you'll need to have ADB running, and be confident in your ability to run a few commands from the command line or terminal. And be aware that this is the first step only, and you'll only have root via the shell. Next, someone will need to build a few files to inject so that you have root on the device itself, and I'm sure at least a few are hard at it. You can (and should) check out the source link for the full directions, as well as the rhyme and reason behind the method.

Motorola DROID Bionic Video Appears On YouTube

It was only a few days ago we posted a blurrycam video found on YouTube showing off the Motorola DROID BIONIC booting up, powering on and giving us a rough preview of the device’s 4G LTE speeds. Not only that, the video showed us a little bit of the new Motoblur UI and I have to say, we were pretty impressed (yes, I said it). Well, today we have another new video for you guys, this time showcasing the Droid Bionic and even a minor bug the uploader discovered. Think of this as a more in depth preview giving you a better idea on what to expect from the Bionic before it hits Verizon and “destroys all machines” on Sept 8th.

Droid Bionic "Tips And Tricks" Offers Feature Run-Down


Motorola published what looked very much like a list of Droid Bionic specs on its developer's site earlier this month. Some of the information revealed offered new insight into the Bionic's revised hardware; we had been wondering, for instance, whether the smartphone would end up with a 4.5 or a 4.3-inch display. A new leak has now revealed the Tips and Tricks manual for the Bionic, giving us additional confirmation for some of its specs, as well as highlighting several of the smartphone's features.

Once again, there's mention of the Bionic having a 4.3-inch qHD screen, so consider that confirmed if you were still harboring any doubt. With an 8-megapixel camera, gigabyte of RAM, and dual-core processor, it's little surprise the Bionic is suited for 1080p video recording; these documents offer some tips on setting it up to use, as well as outputting your video for viewing over HDMI on a full-sized TV. Motorola discusses the extra abilities imparted to the Bionic when using Webtop accessories, just as they did when debuting alongside the Motorola Atrix.

We also learn of a few little hardware features that have so far flown under the radar, like an arrangement of three microphones for optimal pickup and noise rejection, and some bundled software like ZumoCast for remotely accessing files stored on your home PC.

At this point, we're really just waiting for Verizon to announce when the Bionic will finally go up for sale.

Verizon Leak Reveals Motorola Droid Bionic Price?


We've been learning more and more about Motorola's Droid Bionic on Verizon LTE, most recently getting a better look at its hardware specs and software features. Even as that picture gets filled-in, we're still left wondering about the phone's cost and retail launch date. Some new rumors hope to nail those down, but do they fit with what we've already heard?

A leaked screenshot, supposedly from Verizon's retail computers, shows the new Bionic in the store's inventory, displaying a price of $587. Obviously, that's off-contract, and it's definitely in-line with what current Motorola devices of similar hardware specs are going for; the Photon 4G is about $550 off-contract. This doesn't give us any indication of what you might expect to pay for the Bionic with a service agreement, but if we know Verizon, the fact that the phone uses LTE means it will be a little above the curve.

Accompanying this information is the rumor that the Bionic would go up for sale on August 26. Near the end of last month, Motorola was saying that the Bionic would be available in September, making this date sound a little early. It is very near when we were expecting the phone, however (September 1 being another rumored release date), so it's conceivable that there was an opportunity to get the Bionic out a little early, and Verizon and Motorola jumped on it to avoid some of the stiff smartphone competition due later this year.

Motorola Droid HD Pictures Emerge


We already know that a device called the Droid HD has been taking test photos. The Droid HD might be one of the most highest spec'ed devices in the Droid lineage yet, packing a 4.5" qHD (or even 1280x720) display, an 8MP camera on the back with 1080p video capture, and a super thin bezel. Despite its thinness, it still makes room for an HDMI output and dedicated camera button. Still unknown are details about its shipping Android version (we're hoping for Ice Cream Sandwich) or its processor, RAM, etc.



Engadget has posted some images that give us a first real glimpse of the upcoming Motorola smartphone. The design reminds us a bit of the Photon 4G, though the capacitive buttons below the screen have been redesigned which might mark a deviation for all future Motorola devices.

Google Buys Motorola Deal!

Google acquires Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion


Google has announced it's going to acquire Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion ($40 per share). The Mountain View-based company plans to use Motorola's rich patent portfolio to help its Android platform in the numerous legal battles it's currently fighting, while Motorola itself should continue to function as before.
The first thing that should be noted is Motorola Mobility is not the entire Motorola. You might remember that the company split in two in January 2010 - Motorola Solution (being the direct successor of Motorola) and Motorola Mobility (a spin-off company handling the mobile devices business).
So, Google is buying Motorola's mobile division responsible for smartphones and tablets. The reson for the move is quite simple - to defend Android in the ongoing patent war.
A few days ago Google explained that Microsoft, Apple and other corporations are working together to acquire important patents before Google so they can get licensing fees of up to $15 from the manufacturers for each Android device sold.
So, now that Google owns Motorola (or it will when all the formalities are over) it is in a much better position to offer assistance to its partners in their court struggles. After all, Motorola is one of the companies with the largest patent portfolios in business and we are led to believe the whole Android community will have access to it once the deal is done.
Google does not plan a merger and will run Motorola as a completely separate business. Android will remain the same - an open platform available for anyone who wants to use it and Motorola will continue to be one of the many Android licensees. Let's hope that this will at least lead to speeding up of the Android updates for the Motorola's Droid lineup.
The leaders of all the other major Android manufacturers already expressed their support for the acquisition. The CEOs of LG, Sony Ericsson and HTC as well as the president of the Samsung mobile division already welcomed Google‘s commitment to defending Android and its partners.

Motorola Defy+ gets officially announced

Today has surely been one busy day for the folks at Motorola Mobility. Shortly after their company's acquisition by Google became news, they found some extra time to announce their latest droid in their already colorful lineup - the Motorola Defy+.


As the name of the device suggests, the Motorola Defy+ is closely related to the original Motorola Defy, which we came to know well. This time however, the device got a number of updated features, which are bound to keep it attractive throughout 2011.
The most notable changes in the Motorola Defy+ are the new 1GHz CPU, Android's latest Gingerbread 2.3 OS, and a larger 1700mAh battery. Interestingly enough, the Google OS is still dressed in MOTOBLUR.




The device has gotten even tougher than its predecessor and can prove it by a certification for covering the IP67 water, dust, scratch, and drop resistance standards. In plain language, this means that the device will handle any normal daily use and abuse without breaking any sweat. How far it can go in this department, we are yet to see.
The Motorola Defy+ will launch in Germany first, with a retail price of €269 - not a bad price for a rugged droid with practically no alternatives at the moment. Hit the source link for the full PR and tell us how you like the new Moto in the comments section below.

Motorola DROID Bionic Caught in Photos (Again)

For the nearly 8 months since Motorola first announced the Motorola DROID Bionic, the handset has had various photo-op moments, and throughout those months, we’ve seen a variety of transformations that the Motorola DROID Bionic has endured.

Here’s the latest installment for the Motorola DROID Bionic’s photo album. This set comes from a member of Howard Forums whose friend was able to snap photos of the DROID Bionic from a Motorola representative.





Reliable sources also report that the DROID Bionic has undergone final testing, which means it’s going to be ready for our tasting really, really soon. The new photos, plus this report of final testing, surely do make the September 8 rumored released date for the Motorola DROID Bionic almost a certainty. Especially with new Federal Communications Commission (FCC) documents revealing more-or-less official specs for the DROID Bionic, we are wont to declare September 8 as the near-certain release date.

It’s less than a month to September 8. Patience is a virtue, you know. Are you going to wait a little bit longer? Or can’t you wait anymore? Suppose September 8 turns out to be a dud, will you still wait for the Motorola DROID Bionic like a patient lover waiting for your loved one’s return?

Motorola Photon 4G gets its bootloader unlocked


Android hackers have succeeded in unlocking the Motorola Photon 4G bootloader using the methods they first figured out for the Atrix 4G. Like most hacks of this nature, you're going to have to read the directions and understand everything before you jump in, and you'll need a bit of working knowledge of the standard fastboot procedures. Because it's a Motorola phone, you're also going to need to know how to use RSDLite. The good news is that the instructions are laid out nicely and it shouldn't be much of an issue once you get everything assembled.

The biggest thing to remember here, is that this is for the Photon only. Don't go trying it on your Droid 3, or you'll likely be in for an ugly surprise. With all that out of the way, head over to the source link and get started. Let the games begin!

Motorola Atrix 4G





Has exceeded the ' Ocean Atlantic to get to Europe, and then on our test bench. The Atrix we had already seen this, but now we can see in the European version, to see what Motorola have changed thinking about the Old Continent. First, the packaging, including headsets, data cable, travel charger, HDMI cable, and even the docking station. For the latter, we refer to all new videos added videoprova of the page. In general, on this flight ' Atlantic led to the new well Atrix, which has proved faster than the American version, with better management of MotoBlur and a more complete exploitation of the processor, dual core release that we had already admired the stars and stripes. We have no hesitation, even if the software version of Android is 2.2.2 instead of 2.3 which the best known are now on nearly all smartphones equipped with the operating system from Google. The colors are a little 'off, but the resolution is great enough to have a positive impact on navigation on the web and multimedia, vaguely mortified by a 5.0 megapixel camera does not always equal. The phone part is excellent, the e-mail client is missing only the pinch and zoom. For the rest, we refer to what we had already written, but pointed out how this flight to Europe has led to the Motorola Atrix well.

Motorola XOOM With Android 3.2





After word of an initial soak test and an updated support page, we are hearing reports from owners of the Motorola XOOM tied to Verizon’s network that the Android 3.2 update has begun rolling out. For the uninitiated, the update most notably enables the XOOM’s SD card slot, but will also enable a new “zoom to fill” mode for resizing non-native apps for display on Honeycomb tablets. Any readers out there receiving the update yet?
