ok, trying to see if it all loaded, i cant seem to find a way to check avalible memory once i have webtop loaded. so i checked and webtop is currently mounted, in webtop under settings webtop configurator is there but opens nothing.

so i ran your commands in terminal and this is what i got

the pic is the error window and the folloing is what retruned in terminal

I get this too.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
Hmm, any one got any thoughts? how do we check to see that it is successfully running on sd card
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sogarth:
For the Droid Bionic, don't worry about webtop-configurator. I'll add a note in the first post noting that the current version is not going to work there.

If you'd like to check whether or not you're booting from your SD card, there's a note in the first post that talks about checking your Diagnostics tab. That's what you can check.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
So if I have this you are saying that I'm good?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
Ok, I got system monitor working, and I can say that I am not running from sd card. It sebtop2sd it says that webtop is mounted but as you can see in this screenshot memory is 931mib which is system defult, I have set webtop2sd for use the partiion I created on my card which was about 6gig. So I can not figure out how you get this to work.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] v1r7u41:
that would be memory (as in ram) size mate.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
yes, my bad, however, when I install a program from synaptic it still installs in /osh and im now at 83Mg free. Its not loading from or installing to sd
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
On stock room anyone get this to work? Getting aggregating....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] xaero252:
Just to clarify, since the webtop configurator isn't working even after installing this all I should have is more space, and the stock webtop configuration - correct?

After webtop configurator is working, I will then gain a lxterminal (or similar) icon and the ability to use synaptic/aptitude, correct?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sogarth:
No, you're not good. You'll see that it only lists "webtop", and not "mmcblk0p2", which it should if you're booted from your SD card.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sogarth:
Correct. I believe that [mbm] (possibly indirectly, c/o tallnerd1985) may have some hacks to get apt/synaptic up and running, but I have yet to look into those.

Yes, that's correct.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
Ok, I am having no luck getting this to work on droidtheroy ROM v1.7,

This us my thought, tell me if youthink it week work. Sfb to stock, deodex, install webtop2sd, confirm it its working, then in theory, I should be able to flash the rom, because the webtop2sd shouldn't be affected by a new rom, because it is all on the ext sdcard... Does that sound like it may work? seeing I don't know how the webtop2sd actually works I don't know for sure. But from what I gather, it takes /osh and mounts it to sd card, so id its there from original ROM... May work
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sogarth:
Hard to say. It depends on if the new ROM re-flashes /system, which it probably does. At that point, it'd kill whatever webtop2sd did.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sogarth:
... Strange. I don't think I've seen that behaviour before. It'll have to wait a little bit, though, since I don't have the code in front of me. That trace does give me something to look at, though, so I'll do that when I'm able to do so.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
Ok thank you
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
ok, i got it installed after about three more trys, and i ran logcat while doing it if you want them, its on 100 percent stock rom odex. first one was a fc after about 15 mins in, and the second time it installed, and i now have 5gig showing in /osh

awesome!!! only problem is i want to be able to run it on a custom rom, the problem with that is that i need to factory wipe to install rom, which means i would undo what i just did with the webtop2sd

anythought? and do u want the other logcats for dev purpuses?

if anyone has installed this, then did a factory reset does it undo this?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tdubs99:
Run, I did the following to get it running on r3blur3d 1.7:

1: 1 click restore to stock and root.

2: rsd the return to stock webtop version.

3: flash r3blur3d

4: flash webtop with any hdmi mod(had some troubles with what was built in)

5: install the full ubuntu patch.

6: install webtop2sd

7: do webtop2sd(I already had formatted)

8: started webtop and used synaptic to install xfce and replace awn

9: reboot webtop

10: confirm booting off sdcard as /osh has 10 gigs.....

Let me know if you need lilac to the appropriate posts for the various steps... not in front of a computer right now to make it easy.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
Number 5 full Ubuntu patch, where did u get that?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tdubs99:
Under [Discussion] Webtop hacks. Its the webtop patch in first post.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
o, ya i got that, didnt know that it actually loaded full ubuntu, ya i did that, thanks,

i have it running good on stock now, im playing with it again, trying different Desktop env seeing which i like, once i figure that out, i will give it a go again from scratch and see if i can get it going on his rom.

thanks man.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
Yay! I got it, I just flashed 1.7 remounted and it works perfectly! Thanks for the help guys

What can I do about the "low memory"? I assume this mod does not help with ram?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
I haven't had that issuse really, how many programs are u running at one
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dB Zac:
just the launcher and firefox
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
Hmm, havent had any issue, use the memory manager and see what's eating it up
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dB Zac:
when the warning pops up, my phone says it has 176MB of ram available but webtop says i have 20% available
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
That's odd. Not sure then buddy, is it constant or just every once and a while? Because I can have running on phone, talk, xda, text, and Androidterminal, and on webtop synaptic, chrome with two or three tabs, and don't get the low memory warning,

Flash plugin for Chromium

This is really simple. After installing Chromium (make sure you are mounted r/w):

- Copy libflashplayer.so from /osh/usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins to /osh/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins

- Add Chromium to panel

- Right-click on the Chromium icon (in panel), select properties, and change the Command to /usr/bin/chromium-browser --enable-plugins %U

That's it.

forgive my ignerance but a swap partition is for ram?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] gsdev:
Catastrophe!

I had a bad CWM backup destroy all of my progress. [sobs like a little girl]

Mr. Sogarth Sir,

I am unable to get the webtop2sd app to attach to an existing webtop on an sd-ext partition.

If, for instance, I had an 8GB partition on my sd-ext that was used for my webtop, and I flashed a new ROM that pointed to the stock webtop, how can I use webtop2sd to reconfigure to the existing sd-ext partition without overwriting it? Is this possible?

Kindest Regards.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Banggugyangu:
@dB Zac

Swap is akin to Virtual Memory in windows. It's a section of your hard drive (SD Card in this case) that's alotted to memory usages for when RAM is full.

webtop2sd "Execute" tab has an option called "Re-install mount executable" Click that, let it do it's thing, then reboot the phone. It should work just fine if your webtop2sd completed successfully on that SD card before *and you haven't done anything to bork it*.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sogarth:
Correct! You get a gold star! ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dB Zac:
great, that sounds like what I need
[Motorola Droid Bionic] robroy90:
Gave it a go, have a couple of questions...

I downloaded and ran the 2.0.1 installer on my Bionic, and it appears to have worked correctly, as I used a brand-new class 10 MicroSD card, and I let the app partition the card, etc.

I am sure these will probably appear as newb-ish questions, so please bear with me:

What I am still confused about is:

1. How can I tell if my phone is booting off of the webtop2sd partition? It seems to launch much faster, but I allocated about 3GB of my card to this and I still don't seem to have better memory performance with Firefox, etc. Is it even possible to add the swap partition also? It seemed to me the other thread I saw about the swap partition trick seemed to only apply to the integrated app. I am definitely not a linux ninja though.

2. Is it possible to use the memory card with the phone for other purposes with the webtop2sd partition? Do I need to add another FAT32 partition, etc? I need to use the card for general storage also, such as nandroid backups, etc.

Thanks guys, please advise.

App FC immediately

Immediately upon opening Webtop2sd I get a FC after allowing SU. Popup says: "The application webtop2sd (process net.toreishi.webtop2sd) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ted1735:
Working like a charm

All I did was

- Copy all sd contents to my PC

- Boot into CWR and format my sdcard-ext with the built in function

- Run webtop2sd and choose a 4gb partition

- IT DID THE REST!

I know have a 4gb webtop and its running well!!! Now just need to tweak and refine!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] fxmech:
I really want to see how this performs on the internal /data (internal "sdcard").

I've come so far as to create swap and ext3 partitions on the external sdcard. Still, on the low-grade stock card, gains can barely be noticed. I'd imagine internal sdcard performance is much better for power-usage.

When can we get this so-called "earlier" update? :D I'll be happy to test anything on the way to a better, meaner webtop on the Bionic.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sjflowerhorn:
back pedal

ditto, i would love to have option to have it running off internal also. that would be ultimately sweet. but just to get past the initial fc as soon as i open the app would be a great start for now lol. im going to back pedal through the thread to see if somethings posted.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] myersguy:
What system release are you running. I had the same problem when I was running 5.7.X version.. I then flash the Liberty 3 ROM and webtop2sd worked.. No more force close issue.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sjflowerhorn:
stock 5.5.893 with 7.893 kernel and radio ill try that with liberty before running r3l3as3d and forever root to go back and start fresh.

Webtop2toSD does not work for me

Webtop2toSD does not work for me. I partitioned the sd card onboard with the built in utility and with gparted. I have a 4gb card, with 3 gb for linux ext3 partition.

I get the three new icons on AWN, the manager, configurator and terminal. However, clicking any of those doesn't do anything.

The bar disappears for a second, a block appears in the top left corner and then everything comes back to normal.

Any ideas? what am I doing wrong?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] barrmulio:
has anyone gotten this to work with the OTA 5.9.901 ? I get the same fc error above.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SaddleTramp:
Errors out for me also on rootrd/ota 5.9.901, linux swapspace works though. And that is where I believe more performance is gained. And I found I didn't have much luck running any packages well, thru synaptic anyway.

Swap space plus the weptop updates in .901 fixed the low memory errors I was constantly getting. So i'm happy with that improvement :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] barrmulio:
i may have missed something - how did you get synaptic on there without webtop2sd?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] stoffelck:
Unfortunately synaptic works to well ;9. I installed xfce gnome bunch of other stuff and filled the 999000 drive space. OOPS now synaptic won't run for me to remove things. How could someone manually remove a package to make some room? Guess I could fastboot the webtop, start over. no harm there really other than the time...

Or yeah the webtop2sd apk working would be nice. FC on 901 here too.

ok deleted all parial and downloaded synaptic files. Now it starts, under preferences/files set synaptic to delete downloaded packages after install.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SaddleTramp:
I meant when I had synaptic running with weptop2sd on 5.7.893. :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] osmoses:
5.5.893

Has anyone been able to run this on 5.5.893? I am also seeing the FC issue but wanted to check so I know if it was something I have done or not.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] osmoses:
Has development stopped completely for this? As with 5.5.893, I get FC with 5.9.902

Is there another script or instructions for doing something similar by hand?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] squito:
this may help someone out. i was getting fc's after moving to 902. i found that if i ran titanium backup it would say my phone didnt have full root access and it would ask if titanium backup could fix the root permisions. after i would do that webtop to SD would work.

I flashed to eclips 2.1 and webtop worked fine on that.

moral of the story is to chek your root access make sure you are rooted properly. :D :D :D

webtop2sd problems

im running ecliple 2.2 on .902 and the app starts up fine but my options are greyed out and when i push run i get"valid partitions have not been seledted.aborting" im sure its something simple ive missed does anyone know what
[Motorola Droid Bionic] skay:
Party's over??

Obviously I'm arriving to this party after everyone has left - heheh. Just checking if there is any hope of getting webtop2sd up on rooted 5.9.902? I didn't have any installation problems with 2.0.1 but I don't see any change in the webtop at this point.

After the reboot when installation completed I see the partition was created (split 16gb card into 8 webtop + 7 sd apps) partitions. And webtop2sd diagnostics reports "Currently mounted webtops: webtop mmcblk0p2".

I saw a post that seemed to indicate users need to 'move webtop to new partition' ? I am just trying to determine if I need to move apps to the new partition and/or manually boot into that to use the 'new' webtop installation. Any help would be appreciated.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zekeb:
Also in the same boat....I have a Bionic on stock .902

It is rooted.

Webtop HDMI hack installed

busybox installed and copied to /system/etc/webtop2sd/busybox

Permissions are all 777

Webtop2sd installed and completes installation with no error.

Diagnostics:

webtop2sd version: 2.0.1

Mount executable version: webtop2sd/2.0.0

Custom busybox installed: Y

webtop configurator version: 33

Currently mounted webtops: webtop, mmcblk0p2

Only booting into standard webtop.

Figured it out - it was actually working, but I did not have a tux icon. Adding the Bionic MBM.tar.bz2 patch allowed me to use ctrl-alt-T to get a terminal, and I was off!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] soocold:
does any one have an easy way to do the "mount -o remount, rw / " at boot? Ive done some searching and I cant wrap my head around it.

And second and the one that matters a little more to me, enabling my swap partition in webtop. I already have the partition created, but thats where im stuck.

TIA

Eclipse 2.2/Safestrap/lapdock/Webtop2SD

Good afternoon. I posed this issue in the Droid Bionic forum also, but I figured I might post it here as well. I rooted my phone last night for the purpose of using webtop2sd. I figured if I was rooting it, I might as well flash it, right? So I did. I used safestrap to flash the eclipse 2.2 rom. (my phone is a verizon droid bionic). After flashing it, I realized there was an issue with using the lapdock. Based on what I've read, its an incompatibility issue with safe strap. I'm completely new to flashing, so I'm not even sure how to change from safestrap to boot strap. Also, when I open webtop2sd, device to partition and webtop partition size are ghosted. I have an 8gb card that is mostly empty (and I have ordered a 32gb card) so space shouldn't be an issue.

1) Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to use Eclipse 2.2 with the lapdock successfully

2) why are my partitioning options ghosted on webtop2sd?

Note: I realize that the second question could be related to the first issue. Anyone with any information would be greatly appreciated!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] paramax55:
I have read and read and I don't remember where I read what right now... but I haven't see this:

I am trying to update from Ubuntu 10.10 to Ubuntu 11.04. Update manager does it's thing but, towards the end, it stops and tells me that I don't have enough memory. I have a 10GB partition for webtop on my SD card (yes, it's using it). It says that I need to free up 10.5 megs additional space. Just for $hit$ and grins, I uninstalled OpenOffice and freed a lot more than that, but I got the exact same error.

What, exactly, is moved to the SD card? I noticed that "/" is still on the phone and that is where it is trying to install the upgrade. Is the Kernel on the phone and just system files on the SD card? "/osh" doesn't seem to be a part of "normal" Linux.

I understand "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" but when you are trying to get help on the Linux forums, they really poo-poo you and won't help if you are running a version that is two updates old.

Do I need, maybe, to compile my own kernel and manually move it over to the phone? Captain Picard re-programmed a communicator to be a reflector beam once using a paper clip, so surely updating Ubuntu must be possible!

Will webtop2sd work on a Bionic running 4.0.4 and webtop 3.0?

I find webtop 3.0 a lot more stable than the last version, but I'd prefer to have the unbuntu desktop environment back. Can I still use webtop2sd to do that?
[General Questions and Answers] jay-red:
Hey guys, I sold my friend's epic 4g (sprint) last week when he upgraded to the galaxy s II. I was with him when he upgraded and knew for a fact that the phone was fine (he bought it new).

I had someone ask me about the ESN when selling and had checked it using a free site, and it came up clean. Now the buyer has contacted me and said that he cant activate it, and checking that same site I used before it, it is now saying bad esn.

What could have happened??? Is there something that the buyer did wrong? I have never messed with CDMA phones before, so the ESN thing is kind of a mystery to me.

If i refund him and get the phone back, is there a way to get the bad esn reversed?
[General Questions and Answers] huynhc:
Probably not. However, I am weary of this free-site you used to check the ESN? Basically you should never divulge the ESN to anyone even potential buyers. At least a couple years back, ESNs could be cloned to other handsets thus causing problems. I am not sure if thats still the case in today's world but for that reason I never give out the ESN (I call sprint directly to check for me if anything).

I am not saying that is what happened in your instance. But more of a warning for not divulging ESNs easily. You can however probably sell the phone as BAD ESN and someone willing to hack it to run on cricket, metroPCS, etc. can give it a go.

Sorry if that's not the news you wanted to hear but that's my take on it and maybe someone else has other information to help you out.
[General Questions and Answers] jay-red:
The site I used I had found in an article posted on ebay. It seems like a lesson learned on this one. I figured that I was pretty much screwed, but wanted to check into it more.

I assume the value is about half of what I sold it for with a bad esn now?

He probably tried to wipe and/or clone the phone which went bad for him and now he's blagging you trying to be refunded.

Be cautious in these kind of situations.
[General Questions and Answers] cobraboy85:
yeah **** that guy you sold it to. he is sheisty.

by the way, why on earth wouldn't you just call sprint? it takes like two seconds to verify an ESN with them...
[General Questions and Answers] jay-red:
Ok, so I got an email from the buyer saying he called sprint again and seemed to get it working. The reason I didnt call sprint was that this happened at like 10 pm last night, and was looking for some quick advise. But all is well as he seems happy (judging by his replies he isnt the sharpest tool in the shed) Thanks for the replies guys.
