2012-04-12 - About Razr ICS Webtop 3.0, Nebtop is not needed anymore. As I heard from some users that the Webtop option is there by plugging in the HDMI cable. Email me if it isn't the case.
This is for the high-end phones having Webtop 2.x, that is, Motorola! Note that since Ice Cream Sandwich, Webtop version became 3.x and Nebtop is not needed anymore.
Don't even try to hope that something will happen magically for other phones such as LG!
=== Description ===
This is an universal HDMI Webtop runtime MOD. If your phone has Webtop, you could activate Webtop and the virtual touch pad on the phone with just an HDMI cable.
No persistent change. No risk of brick.
Before buying the HD dock or Lapdock, you could use this app to preview what Webtop is and whether you really need it.
Although you could find the free version from the developer's site, if this app helps you and you like it, you could buy it to support my development.
I will always update the new version to here so that you could always look from here for the latest version.
*** TROUBLESHOOTING ***
1. Reported by my2Cents
For some Photon, the track pad is unresponsive(tapping the button has no change). Preliminary investigation shows two issues:
- /dev/input/by-id/touchscreen is missing but evbridge needs to open it.
- lshal doesn't show the aev and evfwd virtual devices that are the simulated device for the track pad to work.
Please contact me if you're using Photon and having this problem. I need your help to perform experiment on a Photon.
2. 2012-01-05(reported by James):
It is known that the "[root] live dmesg" app will prevent the dock picker activity from working thus you won't see any option to choose. Uninstall it completely(undo any change) then the dock picker should work again.
3. 2012-02-25(reported by Niel):
The Droid Wall app has known to be preventing the Firefox in Webtop to access the Internet. Please try to disable it if your Firefox failed to access to Internet.
4. 2012-03-22
The symptom is when the phone has entered Webtop mode, the track pad is not shown and evbridge is in a dead loop using 99% of CPU. See my web site for more information in the Nebtop Known Issue section. Workaround is available.

Works well on my Atrix 4G. Just like the dock except I don't need to carry around another power adapter and dock, and remove my otter box case to use webtop. It has really simplified Webtop use; turning it into a useful feature. I haven't received calls yet while using nebtop but texts worked well. Also, the new auto detect feature is nice. Just plug in the HDMI cable and go.

Sluggish response with mouse, but was able to connect to live tv app after some time and watch a show I don't get over the air. Good work! Nice app! Would be a 5 rating if mouse was more responsive to clicking and scrolling. Tried adjustments to no avail.

$150 for the webtop dock, but for under $5 you can make any display with hdmi in to a desktop computer. This app was a big factor in choosing my upgrade (droid razr maxx). A must have for every hdmi capable phone.

Using a Droid 4, I wanted a way to start webtop on my HDTV without the expense of the webtop travel adapter. This app works great and when I noticed a bug (if you forgot to unload the dock emulation, your phone defaulted to speakerphone) , the Developer has been awesome in both quickly addressing the bug, and ensuring I have a great experience with my device. I wish all devs were this attentive.
