[Atrix 4G Android Development] arvati:
After using webtop2sd app the next step on using my webtop on motorola atrix was to start using programs like aptitude, synaptic or command line apt-get to install much more useful programs to use offline on this motorola modified ubuntu jaunty distribution.

The first problem faced was that motorola had left a lot of broken dependencies that would break webtop system if someone just try to use any automatic solution.

To help on this task i developed a bash script that fix those broken dependencies using three different approaches:

1 - The first logical step is just install the missing packages from ubuntu jaunty, taking care to not overwrite any original packages developed from motorola

2 - Since some packages were made from motorola and were already installed on webtop, the second step was creating FAKE packages to just tell apt-get that the package is already installed leaving the original motorola installed package intacted.

3 - Somehow, there is one fake package that breaks the system if is installed. For this package, the idea was backup all files provided from the package developed from motorola and install ubuntu jaunty package overwriting motorola's files. After installation restore the original files on top of ubuntu jaunty files to maintain maximum motorola original system.

After fixing apt-get broken dependencies the use of apt-get could upgrade original motorola`s file. To avoid that there is another script that mark to HOLD version installed. Doing that, it is more difficult to normal users to upgrade packages that would overwrite motorola packages.

Now let's explain how to use WebTopScripts.

Requirements:

* Rooted Atrix.

* Working WebTop after webtop2sd modifications.

* webtop configurator running and preliminaries fix applied from this program (most of all corrections are related to sources.list).

* basic skills to run bash scripts and commands from terminal command line

* working lxterminal program on webtop

Install Script on your Atrix:

* Download file from this thread and save on your download folder (/mnt/sdcard/download)

* run these commands on lxterminal:

Until version 1.6:

cp /mnt/sdcard/download/webtopscripts-1.4.tar ~/
cd ~
sudo tar -xvf ~/webtopscripts-1.4.tar
sudo chmod -R 777 WebTopScripts
bash WebTopScripts/setup.sh

After version 1.7:

cp /mnt/sdcard/download/webtopscripts-1.7.tar ~/
cd ~
sudo tar -Pxvf ~/webtopscripts-1.7.tar
cd /osh/usr/share/
sudo chmod -R 777 WebTopScripts
bash WebTopScripts/setup.sh

Run Scripts to fix apt-get:

Until version 1.6:

cd ~
bash WebTopScripts/fix-apt-get.sh

After version 1.7 execute this command and choose options from menu:

webtopscripts

Just use this script with care, and at your own risk, because apt-get may break your system.

Using webtop2sd you may easily recover from original webtop but since your are on a rooted device all caution is needed.

Good luck and enjoy.
