[Atrix 4G Android Development] EricHegnes:
Can anybody suggest a word processor to be used on the webtop/lapdock? OpenOffice is out of the question, but does AbiWord work?

EDIT: AbiWord runs flawlessly. Pease add this to the list of working applications, as I find it an exceptional alternative to Microsoft Word.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EricHegnes:
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe I remember hearing about HTML5 support in Firefox being a major feature for the webtop/lapdock.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
The installed build of firefox may or may not support full HTML5, I am unsure. Unfortunately I don't think anyone has been able to upgrade to FF4 yet.

The firefox technology they touted the webtop being capable of was having a "full" firefox browser ie it reports as a desktop client rather than mobile. Which it does.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] EricHegnes:
When installing prism from the Synaptic Device Manager, I get this error:

I am new to the Ubuntu/Debian community, as I have only ever used Gentoo. Any help that somebody can provide to point me in the right direction, or to explain to me as to why the installation is failing, would be greatly appreciated.

Also, for future notice, should I be posting this in this forum, or the Q&A forum? I figured that this would be okay as it pertains to the subject at hand, and is potentially helpful to future viewers.

Hey guys,

gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio fixes sound issues with pidgin. (thank Sogarth in this thread )

He also says with this installed he has Rhythmbox working.

web-server awesomeness!

apache2 works

haven't gotten php to work tho.. :-(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dimammx:
Maybe little bit of topic but Is i there a way to enable Java in webtop?

SUN does have Java for ARM architecture on the website...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] edounn:
I've been playing around with gnome trying a few things to get a full system up.. Just for the fun of it, i installed xfce4.

It works REALLY well!

I would recommend trying it out.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] edounn:
xfce4

here's mine.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] YellowGTO:
Steps on getting that to run?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] _Dennis_:
Found out xfce4-session will cause about 5 mobile views (your cell phone screen) to show up, bogging down the webtop. So if you do use xfce4 make sure you use fbpanel or something such as that. xfce4-session provides the task bar, so since you can't load it realistically you need to have something else there (these guys have AWM there)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] edounn:
I haven't had the mobile view window issue.

Dennis, what did you use to change window themes? I did it with gnome-apprarence-settings but it went ape sh!t when I tried it that way.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] edounn:
Yellowgto,

Just install xfce and start the xcfe session. All though dennis said he had problems with mobile view. So maybe hang on a few. I haven't had an issue. But will check into it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tonman23:
if you use synergy

did you notice that synergy works great but the keyboard doesn't transfer keys into the mobile view app. Mouse works great including scroll wheel but i am forced to type with the phone keyboard. Is it the same for everyone else?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] brunnogama:
Hey guys.

How can I put (if possiblie) shortcuts on the bar?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nosit1:
Use the AWN-Manager, go to Launcher, then Add, Open, navigate to the executable, give it a name, and viola.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] brunnogama:
So, the AWN never open when I click on it.

I didnt know what is it, but when I click on it, nothing happen.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nosit1:
Does your Synaptic package manager work?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] brunnogama:
Yes, synaptic works well...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nosit1:
That's odd. Have you tried reinstalling?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] brunnogama:
Yeap!

I dont know for what is this app, so I didnt cares about it.... Unintl now!

:(

I´ll try to reinstall...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nosit1:
I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) the AWN manager is like the desktop environment for the webtop, the manager itself is how you can change it and the dock. Just taking a stab in the dark though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] brunnogama:
Hum..

I understood now... Wel.. I´m still trying to run it...

Thanx man!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nosit1:
I cant' for the love of me get xcfe4 to be the startup manager. Even when I try to kill AWN, it pops right back up. I tried auto executing xcfe4 at boot, but that failed miserably. Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pederb:
Wow, great looking desktop

Cheers
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bluehazed:
Another thing to add, I can confirm emacs22-gtk works, however dpkg seems to display errors when trying to configure it (but it works fine).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SuperUserMovado:
why don't you just install chrome and use ie tab or the similar plugin in firefox?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] msd24200:
Now that looks nice
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Viamonte:
Is there an alternate (and lighter) internet explorer that we can install in the Webtop (and STAB, STEP, SHOOT AND MAUL Firefox in the process)?

And VLC performance for videos was horrible on fullscreen, being it 720p or 480p. Am I the only one getting this or is this standard?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] RedLineJoes:
Performance is worse after applying the OTA update to 4.5.91. Previous to that update I could get much better performance on the Atrix 4G. It's almost bad enough that I regret updating to the latest Gingerbread and would like to go back 1 version to 83. I'm really liking what they did to the MotoBlur UI, but honestly performance has taken a nose dive in a big way. Streaming is barely possible now as well. This all started after I updated to Gingerbread. Our phones are crippled. They don't want us doing certain things with them I assure you.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jean-DrEaD:
Greattt work!!

I`m using gnome-panel at bottom, webtop-panel stock, and alt-tab for metacity... from webtop is soo slooww..

testing many apps... :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xfinrodx:
What causes this? I just started using xfce4 also, and it spawns a second mobile view. I don't get 5, only 2- but still. 2 mobile views destroys performance! Do we have a solution to this?

(I know this was necromantic, but this thread best applies)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lombo agridoce:
thanks OP! I'll have a try.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ltdanno360:
if i was to use xfce4 is this something that can be used without.the webtop and just useing the tv hack i fixed all depends with 1.4 script and installed a web2sd 3g partition / how do i start and.stop xfce4? i have it installed just cant see i?????
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xfinrodx:
You can do it the noob way and run "startxfce4" from a terminal... OR you can open Awn Manager and create a new launcher with the same command (so you don't have to kep a terminal window open to keep xfce4 running).

Lately I have been using the command "xfce4-panel" instead of "startxfce4" because the full xfce4 desktop starts another mobile view, bogging things down horribly. I still do not understand why this occurs and have been unable to determine any theories. For now, the quick fix seems to be simply using the panel. At least that gives you essentially all of the functionality you're probably looking for.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ltdanno360:
just finally got a custom webtop useing xfce4panel and xfdesktop its nice
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Uhuhu:
Hi guys..

I'm trying to use the webtop2sd while using the Home Base ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1242721)

I've had to add the dock service back to the rom since it was missing but I still can't run the webtop. All I get is a black screen using the dock. Also when I select the Webtop nothing happens (same as here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15872885&postcount=61).

I'm reinstalling it for the 3rd time already but I'm not sure it will work.. I'll try to reinstall the ROM later on.

Ideas?

-------

Edit

I had to reinstall the ROM.. A new version came out and webtop is running smoothly..

One question tho.. After I move the webtop, can I mod it or I have to mod it first?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dragon_76:
Mod it after using webtop2sd.

2 reasons:

#1 if you screw anything up (and you will), you can use your original webtop as a template to make a new webtop on your SD.

#2 the internal webtop doesn't have enough free space to do much modding.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dragon_76:
Webtop is fickle. When you edit your start-oshwt-2.sh, avahi REALLY likes to be last. I found that putting "xfwm4 --replace" (or whatever Wm you like with --replace) right before avahi is also a good idea.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fearless40:
Ext4 and Openoffice and Kernels

You can mount /osh as ext4 on your sd card and it works great. You can even turn off journaling.

Ext4: /osh

Brief Instructions for the brave:

Webtop2sd wont recognize an ext4 partition so you have to initially make the partition ext3 then unmount it and convert it to ext4 and then edit the mountosh script in /system/bin written by Shogarth.

Ext 4: /system /data /cache

Webtop-panel will not work if any of these folders are mounted as ext4. I did not test which one in particular causes the problem.

Kernel: Faux 0.2 kernel

Causes webtop-panel to not work. Do not install it. Use the .19 version.

Openoffice:

Works great once you run the webtopscripts1.4. Don't need to have a debian squeeze disk installed either. Do not install the email merge package it is not necessary and causes problems with apt-get.

I have also found that the stock webtop without the upgrade from the debian squeeze (the file called webtopv1.zip) is unnecessary to have flashed onto your device. I took the raw webtop had webtop2sd copy it over and modify it to the point were it was usable and then ran the webtopscripts to get it working.

I currently have a perfectly functional lxpanel with webtop-panel and openoffice and rdesktop installed allowing me to use my phone as a true laptop.

I hope this helps some of you!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] natehoch96:
Ok so I've been trying to change the backgrounds of the apps (ya know that block thing around every app?). Well I have been successfully able to do this with every stock theme (i.e. Carrera, Downtown, Ruby, etc.) by changing the container_bg.png except for in the default theme, Safari. I have the system dump of the MT4G and have been just modifying the apps in /system/app/ that correspond with the theme, but the Safari apk is not in there. I've tried changing the container_bg.png in com.htc.resources.apk but no luck, and that file isn't in the framework-res.apk either. Any thoughts on how I could change the file in the Safari theme?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] el-jodio:

Should work over 0.9.3 AOSP, has jt's latest Settings tweaks. Not a full build like Honeycomb or Gingerbread port, so I think you can just flash it over normal AOSP or one of theirs.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jspidah:

Sorry about that.

I dont get it... this isnt my first HD7 but i can clearly see that things take too long to load. Boot, Games, random hangs on apps or when im typing on the keyboard... what gives??

Anyone know what can be causing this, or a way i can fix it?? I know nodo fixes loading times, but my previous hd7's never took this long to get things done
[HD7 General] FiyaFleye:
Might be a bad SD card... HTC is known to use the crappiest cards ever created

The games and Apps is well known and is reduced significantly in the NoDo update. However the Keyboard hangs aren't normal I don't believe... I've never noticed any lag in the keyboard.

The Boot times on mine were long before I debranded becuase of the o2 Splash screen at the beginning. Debranding got rid of that unecessary pause.

[Captivate General] LNJ:
Install Rom Manager and flash CWM Recovery and then pick a custom rom of your choice.
[Captivate General] wonner:
I suggest that you do plenty of reading in the forums, especially the stickies, before you do anything. It's best to have a good working knowledge before you get yourself into trouble.
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
+1 for reading

I would not flash anything till you know:

The build number of your phone

What odin is

What clockwork recovery is

What three button combo is

What download mode is
[Captivate General] m3thods:
Other than installing ROM Manager, using Bay_wolf's AIO software will greatly reduce the human error involved with flashing. Check it out as well. Personally I haven't found ROM Manager to be particularly useful, but that's probably because I'm on Serendipity.

I must agree with Wonner. I'm somewhat new to this (although I have some amateur developing background) and reading before doing anything would've saved me alot of trouble. I managed to fix just about everything with stickies!

My advice: Be patient and take time to really learn about what you're doing before anything! Oh and also, BACKUP ;)
[Captivate General] bornjamerican:
If you just want "to make it all cool and stuff" I would play around with different launchers until you reading enough about flashing and how to unbrick your phone. You could end up in a world of hurt if you don't know what your doing.

Then when you feel like you know what you are doing and are ready to flash your first rom, read some more. Also learn how to back up your phone. Learn about build numbers and how your phone enters recovery mode.

[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
Theres apps for different types of launchers...

But if your looking into roms. As stated above know and make sure your phone has the 3 button recovery and download mode. If not then its smart to invest in a pre-made jig from ebay or make your own just in case. It's really hard to hardbrick these phones so dont be to scared.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
very very nice dude, I REALLY like that Elegant Black theme. I may be partially confused, but how do I install this???
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] mpalatsi:
There are a few different applications you're going to need, preferably I would recommend you pay for the pro versions just for the extra customization features. Anyway, you'll need:

WidgetLocker for the lock screen

LauncherPro for your homescreen

Clockr for the clock widget

Minimalistic Text for the Date, Time, and Weather

Palmary Weather for the graphical weather

Phantom Music for the music player control on the homescreen

I just downloaded all of them and played with it for a while, that's the best way to get a good grasp on how it works. Play with the options for an hour or so...

Hopefully that helps! If you have any questions along the way I'll be more than happy to help.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] fRenZy-_-:
the app icon(icon where popups your app list) is not included!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] blaque72:
would have been nice if you included install instructions telling people to play with the various widgets coulda defeats the point of you posting your theme
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] mpalatsi:
Yeah the first one is attached to this message.

The second theme has the app launcher icon attached to the dock.

If you're serious about customization you need to learn the ins and outs of each application so you know how to manipulate it. Although, to those who don't want to spend a lot of time working on their theme, I suppose I could make a video. It won't be tonight but I'll try to get to it tomorrow.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Mitty1990:
I wasn't sure how the OP made the icons disappear on LauncherPro so I just used a transparent icon.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] MrSER:
Dunno bout suggestions at this time, but I do have a PSD file for photoshop I am using to build all my text icons I am using for Launcher Pro (and for the dock I am using), if you would want to use them as a base to work on a full theme.

I also have a custom skin based off the one in the images to match the shading on the text for the icons in the dock.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] thechump:
Where should I store the themes for widget locker after I download them? For some reason it can't see the Minimal Gradient theme .
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Mitty1990:
It is easier to just download them via your phone from XDA and install that way :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] mpalatsi:
You can do what mitty said and install it from XDA or you transfer it to your phone then click on it in your explorer to install.
