I have enough confirmations that I can now confirm this is working, and have made a flashable zip install method for those less technical of us.
What this mod does:
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
Must be rooted, Must have Bionic Bootstrap installed
Just boot into clockwork via Bionic Bootstrap
select install .zip from sdcard
then navigate to the above file Chose it and install
Method 2: ADB install
Download the package here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta…5&d=1317262181
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 /systemBackup 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.bakCopy 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
