Webtop is great, as long as all you want to do is use Firefox and cloud computing. Beyond Firefox, WebTop, in it's current form, is mostly gimmick and PR. I also have nothing against chroot methods, but on the Photon you are running Linux, on top of Linux, on top of Android, a.k.a Linux. This isn't really for me so I sought to find a better solution.

After many hours of searching and testing I've been able to combine existing methods used on the Atrix and a couple changes I made myself to bring you Atrix/Photon UbunTop . This mod turns WebTop into more of a tool while eliminating the additional layer of Linux. Atrix/Photon UbunTop includes almost all of the basic features used by computer users on a daily basis. Here's a list of the main features of Atrix/Photon UbunTop:

Listed in the order of Linux Noob to Linux Pro (Yes, even I was a linux noob once.)

Webtop+: Stock look UI with enhanced dock!

Stock looks with hidden power inside!

Stock UI with PCMANFM Desktop

UbunTopLX: Pure LXDE!

Even faster and lighter still, with more control than Webtop+ with just a simple file swap!

LXDE Panel & Desktop

Easter Egg: Ubuntop Core (Openbox, just Openbox. Not for the timid!)

Development:

Bluefish (editor for websites, scripts and programming code)

Internet:

Firefox (I strongly suggest installing the adblock addons. I would have included them but doing so breaks the install)

Media:

gpicview

gimp

VLC

Office:

epdfviewer

OpenOffice (draw,presentation, spreadsheet, word)

Social:

Pidgin (How to set up Pidgin for GTalk)

System:

NTFS external drive support (mount instructions in second post)

syanaptic

Additional Webtop Goodies The You Can Install:

Stephen Who- Java on webtop confirmed

mastashake57's Webtop Exchange email (untested)

For ZRAM Enabled Kernels;

Trust me you are going to do want this!!! The memory savings and performance improvements in UbunTop are definitely worth it!!!

To enable zram open terminal emulator in Android and type

Code:​

su

mkswap /dev/block/zram0

mkswap /dev/block/zram1

swapon /dev/block/zram0

swapon /dev/block/zram1

free *to make sure its working*

I will investigate auto-scripting it for you guys

Download Links:

Tegra2 UbunTop: (in the downloads section)

MD5- 3251D0D9B6F4C0AE88E6100E5675A8A0

Here is a visual guide on how to DL the files

Prerequisites:

Rooted

Unlocked

ClockworkMod Recovery (do not use bootstrap or safestrap)

Any UnLocked Blur ROM (Webtop does not work on CM7 or CM9)

webtop2sd is required for Atrix users because there is only 1.3MB free space otherwise (after resize2fs this is not an issue for the Photon)

7zip (I use a very particular 7zip setup to ultra compress files that winrar and similar can't extract)

Instructions: deviations from the instructions will cause things to not work

Download and extract the zip using 7zip and copy the contents to internal storage

Your directory structure should be /sdcard/UbunTop/!stuff!

Reboot into recovery

Perform a full backup just in case (to include /osh)

Flash the Ubuntop zip via CWM

Reboot

*ATRIX ONLY-Run webtop2sd (DO NOT RUN WEBTOP CONFIGURATOR, EVER)

Launch Ubuntop

*ELECTRIFY/PHOTON ONLY-Open terminal and Copy and paste "sudo resize2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p13" and hit enter

Reboot into recovery

Flash the menupatch.zip

Reboot and enjoy!!!

* Everybody needs to read the "READ ME!!!" file. If Ubuntop doesn't work correctly and you have not followed the "READ ME!!!" then that's probably why

* If Firefox can't access the internet, reboot into recovery and wipe cache​

To install "prepackaged" applications follow the instructions in the "READ ME!!!" file in the UbunTop folder on your internal storage​

To switch back and forth between Webtop+ and Ubuntop- Follow the instructions in the "READ ME!!!" file in the UbunTop folder on your internal storage​

REQUIRED FOR ATRIX USERS- Install and run Sogarth's webtop2sd​

Webtop+ Custom Dock recovery after flashing a ROM, hard reset or wiping /data:

Launch Webtop+

Reboot into recovery and flash menupatch.zip

Relaunch Webtop+ and enjoy!

Many Thanks to:

Sogarth (webtop2sd)
