[Motorola Droid RAZR] Haloman800:
I'm a total noob, is this all I have to do? ;

1. Unzip the webtopmod, place on root of microSD

Boot into boot/safestrap and install the "easy scripts"..

Now the part I'm unsure about, just open up ADB and write line-by-line the "MANUAL First Time Setup:" commands?

And after that, when I start webtop, how do I execute the next line of commands? Will a window pop-up or how do I open it?

One last question.. What's the difference between the lightweight gnome and full gnome, feature-wise and performance wise? if the full version isn't much slower I might just stick with that.

Thank you so much!!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scorbut:
Easy script didn't work for me.

When I want to run ubuntu I must in webtop open terminal and execute last two commands from manual scripts.

Lightweight version only screw my webtop up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Haloman800:
You have to run the two commands every time you want to run Ubuntu? Is that a bug or is that the reality for every user?

Edit: Also, can you install this when on an ICS ROM?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Intel_x:
Question

If i install this can i go back to android if i don't like it?

Do i have to do RSD to go back to Android or can i just get on CWM and restore from there?

thanks in advance sorry for the quesitons.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scorbut:
This works only on rom with webtop and as webtop. If you want ubuntu you must run some commands everytime.

Edit: with ics it looks so that ubuntu in webtop and gentop is gone. The only way to run Linux will be same as on another phones. Or am I wrong kholk?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
You're both wrong and right! :)

As soon as the final ICS will be out I'll try to port GB's WebTop on there. I could try to do that on the ICS betas available now but... I'm actually working on something else, you know :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gierso:
Is that something else near release :D????

Can you explain me a little more what it does???

Maybe you can make a thread ...

Anyway congrstulations and thanks on every eternity team project..

This webtop thing only works with a dock or i can make it work with only the hd cable and bluetooth devices???

Will it work on Atrix 4g?

Adam
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hunix:
Yes It Does...

it works on the Atrix 4G, there is a specific page on the forum for that i guess.

for @gierso :

it works with both the dock and the HDMI cable but u need the Nebtop app installed in order to be able to run the Webtop without the dock.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] greenwitch:
I have read all threads about enhancing webtop on Atrix forum and there is no one about this particular solutiom

I have tried fixed dependancies solution, full debian and there was gentop thread but it was abbandoned.

But this looks great and better than other propossed fixes and i am currius if it would be possible to run it on Atrix.

Adam
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kulek:
Can someone post whole installation process on youtube? Thx.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hunix:
Buddy, replicate the whole process on atrix instead of razr and use the manual scripts, dont install by cwm zip files, thats what i did and it worked perfectly
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rhyr:
What about sounds?

If i set on gstreamer-properties, into the pipeline alsasink device="hw:0,4" i'm able to play test sound over tv's speakers, but nothing more.

Hope that this can help :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JDMpire:
Is this at all similar to the ubuntu mods for the Atrix 4g and Droid Bionic. I have both, I only just the other day got the bionic and would like to expand the webtop with Ubuntu (or any other linux flavor). So far I only did the no-dock hack, since I don't have the dock.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Turkishflavor:
does this work with the ICS-Leak?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rhyr:
Sadly, not atm :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tylerwagler:
Has anyone gotten any information out of canonical related to how they were going about Ubuntu on Android. They integrated the two together pretty well. I believe they ran off the same kernel, could run android apps from unity, and got desktop notifications of calls and texts.

update for ICS

Hello,

I have been waiting for about 2 months for my lapdock to arrive - and it finally has! I have also been waiting even more time for ICS to arrive - and am running the german T mobile leak on my XT910 - and am very heppy.

Now that my lapdock has arrived I wanted to get the Natty Ubuntu onto the phone to use with my lapdock.

Back to the waiting game I guess! I am getting used to this as a Razr owner! anyway, just a +1 for the ICS port as soon as the OTA of ICS is officially released! Please Kholk! Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Guys, it isn't THAT easy to do!

ICS has got a whole different thing, but anyway, yeah, I'll try, don't worry.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ted1735:
Ok so besides having a nice thing or a fun hobby to hack on why do you guts want the Linux based webtop back? I realize we lost a bit of functionality with ICS on webtop, however the website experience is so ooooo much better I don't even consider it a loss.

If you want it for Word There ate many apps our even google drive that allow a full featured word processor. The maverick and natty based webtops are too old to get updated decent .debs to get any real work done. Now if someone were able to get a complete Precise edition webtop up with an actual display and keyboard I would say keep Linux. However to get precise small enough and fast enough on this platform without it being armhf will most likely never happen. I think if we could get armhf based Linux webtop it would run quite well.

I was able to get my Bionic upgraded all the way to Linaro Overlay Precise 12.05. However I had no display or HDMI functionality. I was able to VNC into webtop from the Android real VNC app and via wifi to a full featured Linux desktop with Libreoffice, and Chromium-browser 18 that ran very well. But in the process of upgrading the udev, hal or conffiles of the init scripts our init.d or xorg files were changed in a fashion that resulted in no screen or no keyboard functionality.

If anyone is still on webtop 2.x and fighting the fight go for it. It has consumed the last eight months of my spare time and brain energy.

My best success and tip for more space would be to symlink the /var folder to /data/var for more space and after each Synaptic upgrade manually dpkg purge the xapian-index package. It was the cause for many synaptic freeze ups and about 100mb of wasted space only to have a quick search box in synaptic functional.

I do not advise on using webtop2sd

its way too slow and you can always fxz back to factory webtop.

Try using busybox before chown i.e.

busybox chown root:root /etc/tomoyo/domain_policy.conf
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ahzhang452:
hmm, does this work with ICS? and also, I would prefer Linux Mint 13 instead of ubuntu :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ToyTank:
No. OP has said once ICS release is official he will look at a port of old webtop but he also said it was not that easy.

If you read any comments from the last page or two you would not need to ask.

webtop mod for other Razr like devices

Hi,

Is there any possibility that this mod can be extended to other devices like Droid Razr Maxx, Atrix, Atrix 2, Droid 4, Droid 3?

I have a LapDock 500 Pro, Which I use for browsing the most. Would be glad if I can use it better than just browsing and watching movies.

Will this Linux image work for Droid 4 as well?

Any help to get started would be great.

Thank you

You can try Complete Linux Installer http://market.android.com/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid

It's work little bit better like this on 2.3, but there is need to use crappy vnc. And it's only one possibility to run Linux on razr with 4.0 that I found.

The only working from what I try was small Ubuntu image.

LOL! I've really written newwworld.. haha :)

Link is okay now.

@acomiskey

Winimage? What do you want to do with winimage? lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
We were using WinImage to extract the rest of the files... the ones in the img, or so we thought... is there another way you want us to do this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Read the instructions on first post. I've written a basic how-to, however, this thing at this moment is useful only for power users, or for anyone that knows how to use a linux terminal and how linux works.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
Okay... those weren't there when I first tried it. One more thing... in the first script to run... do you mean 'chown root.root ...' rather than 'root:root'? 'root:root' wouldn't work. I also had to cd into /tmp/ before I could copy domain_policy.conf to /etc/tomoyo/.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pajn:
It should be root:root not . or any other char.

And yea, your right about cd
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
I get 'No such user root:root'

My phone is definitely rooted. I have the superuser app and it runs fine. Also, I am running adb shell in su mode. Looking at the syntax of chown on adb it shows (USER)[.GROUP] (FILE1) [FILE2] ...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Try busybox chown root:root domain_policy.conf
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
Yup, that seems to have done the trick, thanks! Proceeding with the rest of the install once my RAZR finishes rebooting...

Okay so now I'm in Webtop, but how and where do I execute this second script?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Open Mobile View, then open a terminal emulator from Android.

I think it's better to save the 2nd script in a file, and then execute it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Golgo:
So is this only for users with a Webtop compatible dock? Is there a hack yet for enabling Webtop over HDMI?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
At the moment, it's possible only for people that have got a LapDock/Multimedia Station....

...However, I've asked to _unknown to teach me how to make the Webtop@HDMI hack.

As soon as he'll reply I'll make the hack and publish it!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] pajn:
From Webtop

When you do that you shouldn't get the errors.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
No I mean which location in the system when in the terminal from webtop lol. Did you just copy it exactly and put it in a .sh file, then run it? I was thinking I had to put a # on the first line before all the text there.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sssnatcher:
Hi,

sry for this Question, but i have an Atrix with a Lapdock.

So now my Question, Work this Project on Atrix Germany too?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
There are other projects that are written specifically for the Atrix lapdock. Not sure if this particular one will work for it, I'm assuming not, but check out the Atrix forum on this site.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
This won't work on ATRIX. The binaries in there are compiled with full OMAP4 support and since Tegra2 is missing some things.... it won't work on Tegra2 devices.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
Could someone help me with my issue with the second script? I'm really anxious to get this working!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
You have to run it from Mobile View's Terminal Emulator in WebTop.

Doublecheck the commands you're sending, or, if you're running it as a file try to do that:

chmod 777 yourfile

./yourfile
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
I downloaded a terminal emulator from the Market. I am running it through mobile view. I copied the commands exactly from your post into a file called wth.sh. As root, I'm running sh wth.sh. I'll try chmod now...

EDIT: chmod didn't help. Exact script below:

wth.sh:

#/usr/bin/sudo -H -u adas bash
export DISPLAY=:0
xhost+
sudo -i
mknod -m640 /dev/loop94 b 7 94
mkdir /tmp/wtm
mount -t ext4 -o loop /sdcard-ext/eternitywtm.img
mount -o bind /proc /tmp/wtm/proc
mount -o bind /dev /tmp/wtm/dev
mount -o bind /dev/pts /tmp/wtm/dev/pts
mount -o bind /dev/shm /tmp/wtm/dev/shm
mount -o bind /proc/bus/usb /tmp/wtm/proc/bus/usb
mount -o bind /sys /tmp/wtm/sys
mount -o bind /tmp /tmp/wtm/tmp
mount -o bind /var/tmp /tmp/wtm/var/tmp
mount -o bind /var/run/dbus/ /tmp/wtm/var/run/dbus
mount -o bind /sdcard /tmp/wtm/sdcard
mount -o bind /sdcard-ext /tmp/wtm/sdcard-ext
chroot /tmp/wtm /bin/bash
export DISPLAY=:0
xterm

I am executing it like so:

su
sh wth.sh

And the errors again:

xhost: not found
sudo: not found

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 9100_it:
you must running it from webtop not from device with terminal emulator!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
The reason it isn't working is that you've commented the first line.

Uncomment it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
Actually, I ran it the first time without it that way - it was the only way it'd actually try all the commands. I understand the commenting part, but when I remove it, the script logs me in as adas and doesn't execute any of the commands until I type exit, when they all just fail again. If I try typing them manually, it prompts me for adas' password, which I don't know.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Password? O_o

Are you su?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
That's what I mean haha. As soon as I run the same script above as root (without the comment), it suddenly switches me to the ADAS user. Once I enter 'exit', it tries to run the commands, and when it gets to 'mount', it prompts me for ADAS' password. It looks like everything in that list would execute right if I had the password, except for the last two commands, where it says:

chroot: can't execute '/bin/bash'; No such file or directory
sh: can't execute 'xterm': No such file or directory

But I think the user thing is more important right now lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Okay, I forgot to upload a file, my fault!

I've updated the first time script and the download list with the new file needed and with all links finally pointing to eternityproject.eu :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
I did all of the steps you added, but I'm still getting the same issues... the only difference is that when I type exit after it makes me the adas user, it runs the commands, but the same errors that I posted in one of my prior posts appear.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Are you sure the mounting process succeeds?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
I know it doesn't. The error for all the mounting commands is:

For the first mount...

Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

I'm assuming this means the syntax is incorrect for the first mount statement, which in your script is:

mount -t ext4 -o loop /sdcard-ext/eternitywtm.img

This is the same in my script as well. I don't see any syntaxtical errors though, and the 'eternitywtm.img' file does exist in this location. The others give me the error:

mount: No such file or directory

Also, the errors before the mount even begins are:

xhost: not found
sudo: not found

I also still have to type 'exit' when it makes me the adas user before it will allow these commands to proceed. I am running this all in a .sh file.

EDIT: It looks like you didn't specify a location for the -o loop command in the script. The only location given is for the actual location of the image file, but the loop option requires a destination directory. Is there a specific one that we need to use? I just threw out /tmp/wtm randomly and that did the trick for the mount errors, but I still have issues with the 'xhost: not found', 'sudo: not found', and the 'xterm: command not found' at the end. I feel like this script is supposed to be fully automatic, but for some reason I have to manually do a lot of the things. For example, after it proceeded past the mounts, it brought me to a different bash terminal, but when I typed exit, the script continued.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pajn:
use busybox mount instead of just mount
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
.....you have to put eternitywtm.img on your external sdcard root.....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
Tried busybox for the script itself, but I'll add this before the mount. Is this working for you as-is??

Did this already.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pajn:
I can't try because webtop isn't working for me (only programs that start are firefox and filebrowser). But usually syntax error on mount is solved by busybox mount because it is capable of much more than just mount.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
Didn't help... produced the following error:

mount: can't find /mnt/sdcard-ext/eternitywtm.img in /etc/fstab

Followed by the errors I had been getting previously.

Just wanted to say that I do really appreciate the responses I've been getting so far! I'm pretty excited to start taking full advantage of this thing!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pajn:
There is a syntax error after all :)

Try:

busybox mount -t ext4 -o loop /sdcard-ext/eternitywtm.img /temp/wtm
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
Yeah I thought so! I was waiting for OP to confirm that /tmp/wtm was the directory we should mount to. However, this still doesn't solve the issues that occur before this point, and during the script execution where I have to manually push it along...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pajn:
Oh, didn't see your edit.

Yes, /tmp/wtm is where you should mount it.

All the mounts after is to be able to finally chroot to /tmp/wtm and use it as your /. It's a bit like changeing operating system.

Just guesses but try

removing /usr/bin/sudo -H -u adas bash and xhost +

and replacing sudo -i with su

EDIT: and put su before export DISPLAY=:0

EDIT2: Oh, and you shall not type exit in the other terminal that comes up. You should type the rest of the commands in it.

So if you are running a script remove the lines after chroot /tmp/wtm /bin/bash as you shall type them in manually.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
I think adas needs to be the user, based on other posts I've seen. Making these edits does run the script, completely automated, but nothing happens.

EDIT: Actually, after checking /tmp/wtm, it looks these modifications keep the script from doing anything, since that directory is empty after running it... I'll keep playing.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
mount -o loop /sdcard-ext/eternitywtm.img /tmp/wtm

Anyway, I've fixed the script.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
You missed the -t ext4 in the first mount statement. Even so, it still doesn't work. I don't think sudo is a command here... and it seems to pause right after 'su', and doesn't proceed until I type 'exit'. Then it pauses again at 'bash-4.1#'. The export command works, but it can't find xterm. Maybe it's just the terminal I'm using that's giving me so many issues? I'm using Android Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Me too! So strange... it works beautifully on my device, I've even posted a screenshot of OpenOffice in action :)

What I usually do is sending all the commands apart the mount ones by hand... and it simply works.

And the -t ext4 has to be missed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pajn:
@gehrc What happens is that you log in as another user, and when you do so the script can't continue.

Don't run this as a script and it should work better.

When you types exit you exit from root/chroot and there for some commands won't work.

I got webtop to work (embarrassing, it just needed to reboot the device) so I would like to try this now, but the links are broken :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Well, this is embarassing... I've updated the links but haven't moved the files.

Anyway now the files have been moved and the links are simply okay.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
sudo -i throws the error:

-bash: getprop: command not found

I'm assuming I can leave this out though because su was issued, right?

EDIT: WORKS! Only if I type it in manually though... I'll try and figure out how to make the script work though, because that would be so much more convenient lol. Gonna try some commands now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pajn:
yea, su and sudo -i are about the same.

To run this as a script you would have to split it into parts.

Remove su and sudo -i (the script should be run as root)

I don't think /usr/bin/sudo -H -u adas bash is actually needed but will test.

If it is you have to split the script after this.

Parts after chroot /tmp/wtm /bin/bash have to be run in the new terminal so they need to be in there own script.

Downloaded [ok]

Unpacking [ok]

Copying...

EDIT:

Maybe

chroot /tmp/wtm /bin/bash -c "export DISPLAY=:0 && xterm"

will work? have to try when I get there...
