[REQ] Build custom lapdock

Hi! It's my first post here!
I was wandering if it's possible to build a custom "lapdock" station.
Basically what do i need is:
- screen hdmi capable
- keyboard
- battery
- touchpad
- eventually speakers
Since a lapdock has only this stuff inside.
Here is a scheme i tought about:

The only thing i dunno is how to make the usb hub to give power to the atrix and to the other devices! I mean it's ok for the electricity, but i dunno if it's correct for data transfert.
About the software, i think that debian could handle all this (speakers via usb, keyboard etc etc.. )
Any suggestion?
sorry for my bad english lol

Are you thinking a stationary dock? Or a mobile dock? From your schematics I am assuming a stationary dock. Either way it would be a great hackaday project.

Actually i was thinking to a mobile one
The schematics works the same, the only thing I assume would change is the dimension of the single parts!

it wont be cheaper than 200 dollars

Sure, but you can add custom parts as a more capable battery, better screen, plug-off BT keyboard etc..

I have been thinking of doing the same type of thing, but my set-up would be stationary. One thing I did think of for myself would be to have a keyboard with integrated touchpad. In the OP's case, it would be one less piece to deal with and make it much more portable.

the more portable you want to make it, the more expensive it will be. and besides, this phone isnt known to run particularly fast on webtop..
lets say you spend 400 dollars... you can pretty much buy a low end laptop that will run way better. the cost to benefit ratio just doesnt seem worth it. not only that, but in the future when new devices come out you might have to scrap this contraption. we don't even know if future devices will have this functionality yet.

[Q] VZ Navigator on LG Spectrum?

I'm considering buying the phone because i loved the phone's light weight and crisp display. But, a reviewer(for pocketnow) said that the VZ Navigator always crashes and makes the phone almost unusable until he reboot it. So, I wanna ask if this problem occurs in every Lg Spectrums...

So just uninstall VZ Navigator? I mean, I don't know why all these carriers slap their own navigation on top of the G-Maps one.

Well.... Maybe I should.
But I don't like installing a custom launcher or jailbreaking the phone.
I received an message from a reviewer works for Wirefly, saying that his LG runs VZ navigator smoothly. So, maybe that's just his issue.

I don't mean any offense by this at all, but if you're not going to root (jailbreak) your phone, you're pretty much on the wrong forum. That's all we do around here.

I have a reason for that;
after i use the phone for a month, i will bring this back to korea, where LG provides excellent customer service. But they don't take care of handsets bricked by rooting. So, I want to root it at least 1 years after I bought the phone.

Before you do anything to your phone, would you please make a screenshot of Settings -> About phone (scroll to the bottom)
I'd like to make sure our unbricked phones have the same data there.
Screenshot can be taken by pressing at the same time power button and home button, the images stored in /sdcard/Captured Images/
(first time I see a linux with spaces in the filenames..go figure)

No Exynos or Super Amoled for the Galaxy S4

http://www.sammobile.com/2013/02/23...xynos-inside-new-galaxy-s-iv-with-bootscreen/

the bootscreen is fake, and as with leaks specs can faked as well. The GS3 supposedly had a 13MP camera and a 3mp fromt face cam..... but we all know now that isn't the truth

..... just sayin' .....

I think the note2 once the gs4 come available will drop in price and would be a Better buy. My girl friend got the note 2 and I play around with her phone often and it's hard going back to my phone with no s pen and smaller screen I know what I'm getting.

Sammobile usually is spot on with info. Looks interesting to say the least.

Honestly I'm not mad about the gs4 not having an exynos processor. If anyone has looked at the power consumption for the dual core a15 soc in the n10 it's crazy high. So I could see why samsung would have a hard time getting it into a phone without it overheating or draining the battery. But the loss of a samoled screen is a little more I interesting. I don't know how true it is bit it could be a huge blow. And seeing some of the flexible displays were 5 inch 1080p versions I don't think it's far fetched to think they can't make one that can work in the s4

Would be awesome if it has a snapdragon

I'd take any rumor as of now with a grain of salt. I think Samsung's won the heart of many consumers with their Amoled screen. There's not much wrong with the technology, aside from screen burn in. The colors are so much more vibrant on an Amoled screen than any other.
As for the CPU, that's entirely possible since we've already experienced that with our current device. Wonder what's in store for us this time. Hopefully it's another Qualcomm CPU, since it plays nice with CDMA and EvDo.

Hand held Gimbal that works for S8+ and GoPro?

Looking for a Hand held Gimbal that I can use both my phone and GoPro on. The cheaper the better but I understand I don't have many options. Any Ideas?
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

You might want to explain what a gimbal is or why you need it and in what context you'll be using it. you mention gopro so potentially, it would be in a rugged environment or sports.
Just saying, if you want responses, clarify.

Yep, Also never heard of it...

fancy word for selfie stick

I use a ikan FLY-X3 PLUS, It works great as long as you don't have lots of wind hitting the phone. Its better with my S7 or GoPro.

Gimbals are definitely not just selfie sticks. They're for producing cinematic quality video and are quite effective when used correctly. I've got a DJI Osmo Mobile that i was using with my S7 but I havent had a chance to try out the S8+ on it yet. I'm going to guess that it'll be pushing the limits on the motors for it though.
Anyway... just set it up for the S8+... Looks like it'll work alright but no way your gonna get it to work inside a case and you've basically got to adjust the thing to the limits of the device. I'm sure the weight and size will put stress on the motors and use more battery than normal, but it does work.
Sorry for the sideways pic:

Saw this on YT, nice side-by-side comparison of 2 gimbals, plus he has OIS on and off with each one. That's where I found out what gimbals are (as far as smartphones are concerned).

Zhiyun smooth Q, cheaper than osmo and can function comparable to it.

No editing

Is this on the latest update

Really liking the macro, even though most people say it's lacking compared to the S21 Ultra.

Like this one a lot. A lot of odd colors in the image and it balanced it well (the green and magenta in the backdrop).

I'm quite impressed by a quickly taken nightshot (on a fast moving train, approx 80km/h). OxygenOS 11.2.2.2.

Ultra wide

I just got my phone yesterday and i'm now testing how well it performs. First impressions is that yes it can perform very well even in dim lit situations. As i always shoot RAW this one is shot as such using the Pro mode and then processed in Capture One Pro.

Pics are really looking great! Can't wait to get the device...

One more shot, this one from inside a local church. Shot in RAW and edited with Capture One Pro. There were so little noise i didn't even bother to remove it, just a bit of sharpening and keystoning to straighten the lines and then the usual adjustments with exposure, curves and shadows & highlights adjustments.

Would like to see some pictures of faces (with stock camera app). With my op7t, I was VERY disappointed with the pictures of my kids (with the OOS camera), very blurry and smudgy. Switched to GCAM and totally fine.

What setting you used? The hand artifact looks weird. I understand it is because of the movement (or a hand of a ghost of dead movie producer?), but how the hell it created this weird edge/highlight is beyond me.
