n00b question. I've completed all the installs in the N00bs Guide (webtop2sd + webtopscripts+install synaptic+install xfce+modified the start-oshwt-2.sh) Xfce is up and running. I can start the installed programs from the Xfce menu (the big X in the corner) but, I'm unable to make any shortcuts on the desktop nor can I change the wallpaper. It's is stuck on the original webtop wallpaper. Are shortcuts and wallpaper changes possible?

Btw, great guide!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chimpdaddy:
The XFCE desktop probably isnt starting, in start-oshwt-2.sh try changing

sfalv -i "xfdesktop4"

to

sfalv -i "xfdesktop"

problems..

Hi Guys,

I tried the steps listed and got to the part just after installing webtop2sd with no issues.

The install of webtop2sd went fine, I ran it and it copied the existing webtop into the correct partion on my sd (a 6gb etx3 partition created after a 24gb fat32partition ) the process went merrily along copying files with no problems.

after it copied it said it was successful and to reboot. which I did. I then plugged the phone ito the dock and chose webtop, it connects me through to the webtop, with the standard webtop backgroup etc but I have lost the "dock" of apps at the bottom. I have access to the phone "window" and all the menus at the top of the screen but I don't have any extra options on either the screen or the phone.

After that didn't work I tried rerunning webtop2sd and chosing the "Resinstall webtop configurator" option, rebooted and tried connecting again but with no luck.

Please can anyone help?

If its any use my phone settings are....

System Version:

45.31.0.MB860.Retail.en.GB

Start Webtop2SD again but this time press the Menu key on your Atrix and then select Toggle Advanced Tab, now you should see a new Advanced Tab on top of the screen, go there and make sure this time you select the "Missing Dock Workaround" (see screen capture) option and then change to the "Execute" tab and hit GO to copy the Webtop partition again.

Good luck!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamiefuller:
Many thanks Rayan,

I panicked and restored my entire rom (luckily I backup it up yesterday) and the webtop started working (just the standard one)

I then redid the webtop2sd install again and I had the same problem, thats when I got your message!

I then reran the software as you suggested and that solved my problem, so many many thanks again. Now I'll try to continue with the steps :)

Samba 4

Did we get a working solution to samba 4 mounting windows shares? If so could we get a guide for linux beginners like myself to make it work?

Also what is a good media player for linux? Or should I just use Dice player from market?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggernaut:
That did the trick, thanks chimp.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamiefuller:
I spoke to soon, the fix did work the first time I went into the webtop, and I managed to launch the configurator.

I was prompted to update apt lists which I did, then I installed lxterminal, which then ran fine. I then edited the /var/lib/dpkg/info/tzdata.postinst file and rebooted as suggested.

However subsequent launching of the webdock yet again had no "app dock" at the bottom.

I tried rerunning the webtop2sd fix but even after reexecuting the copy with the fix applied and rebooting it still wouldn't show the "app dock" at the bottom.

My phone started to increasingly show as "No Sim" and after each reboot it would take longer and longer to get off of "Emergency calls only"...So I recovered once again from the backup I took and am back to the start again.

Is it worth reformatting my ext3 partition to ensure a completely fresh start.

any other ideas?

SOLVED!

Ok I think I may have performed a step wrong, because I started right again at the beginning and now I have a fully working webtop, thank you to the OP and the people that helped me.

The only thing I did different from the steps on page one was to NOT reboot after applying the fixes until I had an alternative desktop in place before I rebooted and potentially lost the dock again.

I really like the idea of having a fuller ubuntu environment.

Thanks once again!

finally got back around to this...

reinstalled webtop and started over...got to the same point and synaptic just stays on preparing packages...any ideas? can I install xfce from terminal or?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thantos:
Which version of the apt script have you used? It does matter I've been able to get it to work on v1.6.

Also, if you are on an international firmware and have unlocked the bootloader, have you applied the RAM fix? That could explain the excessive lag as there isn't enough ram for stuff to run well. Or possibly, has the install failed previously? If you get any errors be sure to check what they are saying because that is a major problem to proceeding forward.

Final note: I'm sure you've gotten past this already but were you successful in installing lxterminal? When I was doing it initially, my webtop2sd couldn't install the proper components and I had to manually activate the webtop-configurator.

See the link below for the webtop config:

I think I used 1.4 the first time...I used 1.7 today. Guess I will go back and try 1.6 then..

I am running Aura on AT&T.

Never get any errors, it just sits there preparing packages with the little bar going back and forth..

lxterminal installed fine.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chimpdaddy:
Firstly you need to have a kernal, like Faux's, that supports CIFS.

Then install Samba4, via synaptic package manager if you like.

Probably an idea to reboot.

Then create a folder (using terminal) where you want yr share, 'sudo mkdir /media/SHARE' for eg..

then run this;

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=guest //YOURSHAREIP/SHARE /media/SHARE

if you get no errors yr golden :)

If you want it to mount on startup edit /etc/fstab to include

//YOURSHAREIP/SHARE /media/SHARE cifs username=guest,_netdev 0 0

check this with 'mount -a'

That should do you.

I'm also looking for a good media player, tried VLC, which i've used elsewhere for years, but audio and video both stutter. If you find one let us know.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teeth_03:
I edited the OT, renamed the thread to Guide, linked Chimpdaddy's samba fix posted above,and also changed the lines in the startup script to the ones I am currently using (I meant to do this a long time ago).

I am now taking suggestings for a list of Suggested apps to install,and other general suggestions for the guide itself.

Oh,and Chimp, from my brief experience with playing media, playing it on the phone interface seems to play smoother, you should try it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigworm50:
1.6 yielded the same result...preparing packages for 45+ minutes..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thantos:
Have you confirmed your ram?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigworm50:
I'm not sure what that entails? Pointers? I am not running an international firmware, I am on AT&T USA, running Aura- which lists "juwe11's Ram Optimization script" as a feature..

What roms have been used successfully?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xAlex79:
I have not found any, what I do right now is that I use Dice player from the mobile view and get get SD stuff to play decently with sometimes fps dips when full screen.

Running @1.3ghz with Faux's

Edit which is kinda useless because it cannot see the share or use the ext4 partition. So I have to manually copy the files to my fat32 partition and play them locally.

I would really like to have a way to stream stuff from my network...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newbleeto:
Since you're using mobile view anyway, why not use es file manager? It can access network partitions and together with mobo player is great for streaming. Maybe it'll work for dice too? Also, you can access windows shares from the webtop trough samba 4 and command line :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chimpdaddy:
Yeh it does play better thro mobile, thanks. Be nice to get it smoother on webtop tho, dont you think? Especially as I dont think its maxing out the cpu trying, some other issue... not a big deal really tho, i know.

xAlex, re streaming from yr network, like Newbleeto says, samba works, I have shortcuts to my network shares on my webtop desktop. Did you try the little samba setup guide i posted?

lapdock...

Hi All,

After having so much fun with the webdock I decided to invest in the lapdock (UK MODEL)

it works brilliantly, and I installed python and pygame and even managed to run some of the games I wrote for the n900.

However my problem is that the keyboard doesn't map to the special characters properly...for example the at sign or a question mark...are on the wrong keys.

I've tried switching to all the british options (US/UK/International) and none improve the situation.

I couldn't find anything in the forums.

Anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks

Have you used the setxkbmap command on LXTerminal?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamiefuller:
Hi Rayan,

Using "setxkbmap gb" fixes some characters such as the at sign but only in the linux environment. Not the mobile window. Also the ? Character doesn't work properly US or GB key maps.

Its a good start but still not perfect.

Any more ideas?

hey guys,

I started learning android development and I've built a simple app that suppose to display a background and a few buttons that do nothing (for now). but I cant seem to get this app to work on the emulator w/o crashing. I've tried to look for an error for hours, but nothing came up.

I was hoping you could help me trace my problem. here's the code:

the code is updated in the manifest as the 2nd activity class to work after the splash.

splash code:

thanks alot! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eduCoder:
Before digging into the code you need to be sure that your development environment was installed correctly by running Hello, World program (developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html).

So have you tried it first?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reflecti0n:
Yes, I have tried it. I've been running several programs on my environment before I started writing this app...

The thing is according to Eclipse there's nothing wrong with the syntax, But when I try to run it, it crashes.

I've tried to isolate the problem, and when I remove the StartActivity to the MainMenu from the splash it runs the slash app w/o a problem.

I also double-checked the Manifest to make sure it's set correctly (splash is LAUNCHER/MAIN, mainmenu is DEFAULT/SPLASH).

My Samsung Droid Charge is a victim of the update to GB. Verizon has replaced the phone and it continues to use somewhere between 50 and 70% for the Android OS, thereby giving me about 4 hours of battery life.

I have been running Watchdog and found a process which neither Watchdog or I, can attach to anything. The process reads: k3dh_workqueue and is identified as a linux process. It steadily takes a little over 10% of the CPU.

Can anyone identify this process and what it might relate to?

Thanks for any help you can offer....and I doubt I will ever upgrade a phone again.

After lots of googling i got my sixaxis controller working on my I9100, now to load it with games!

Obviously emulators can have key inputs set to controller keys, what im interested in is what other games have keyboard controls that can be mapped to the sixaxis controller? Pref games that are higher quality / 3d but at this point i'll take what i can get!

So: What games will work with the sixaxis or bluetooth keyboards or controllers?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crockashat:
I have the screen set to always on (no time out) when I have it in the car, it stays on fine while listening to music or if it just sitting there doing nothing, but no matter if I get a call or I make a call -- the screen will always turn off after a couple seconds even though the screen is set to always stay on, also as soon as the call ends -- the phone automatically locks and I have to log in / unlock it every time. I know on the old Froyo ROMs it would stay on if I had it set to always on -- didn't matter a call or not, it stayed on like it is supposed to do and it did not automatically lock either. I am on the Weapon 3.0ROM and I am using the same widgetsoid app as the the switching mechanism for the "always on" screen setting in a widget on one of the home screens. I have checked the widgetsoid settings and there is no definition between call settings and normal data for the screen time out. Under settings in the main menu, there is no toggle to enable/disable the proximity sensor either, but since the phone face has nothing close to it when it is mounted in the car (like it would be if you had it up to your ear), I don't think that this is the proper setting to manipulate. I really believe that this is a timing setting, and I am wondering if it is separate setting that can be changed or linked to the normal screen time out settings.

Is there a way to stop the screen from timing out on the Weapon3.0 Rom during phone calls and then automatically locking the phone when the call ends? its getting a bit annoying and any help would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crockashat:
Am I really the only one experienceing this?

I have tried fully wiping the G2x and started from scratch reloading the ROM, apps, settings, etc. and with the Weapon 3.0ROM when the phone is plugged in charging it still automatically shuts the screen off a few seconds into a call, and then locks the phone even though I have the LCD screen setting set to always be on. :confused:

For the most part I really like the Weapon ROM, but this auto screen off and locking when I have the G2x plugged in, in the car is annoying as ****, any help to remedy this problem would be appreciated.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] jsomby:
It performs worse than my class 4 kingston, altough its different test method. I used sd card tester (can be found from market with that name). I get 5.8MB write speed with 300MB+ (tested up to 2GB) file and 34-39MB/s reading speed.

One thing that could be reason for bad performance is formatting card with windows tool. Use SD Card formatter. I formatted my kingston with windows original formatter and perform was about 30% of what i get now after formatting it with that tool: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/

I try to cook a WM 6.5.x rom for my Mega. But When I try to install I've noticed that(picture). So Am I did something wrong? I used ROM_Mega_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1-28-479-4 for this as base and this

29007_XIP_HVGA_QVGA_VGA_WWQVGA_WWVGA_0409 for 6.5.x

Is this normal? Or What?

Whatever. I'm installing rom.

Well, It's sure now there is a problem with that. It stucks at 18% and don't installs.
[Windows Mobile] Skrobel:
Well, I guess this:

ROM_Mega_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1-28-479-4

is a keyword. You have the ROM version in the file name and it's actually lower than you currently have in device.

I think this number is stored in nk.exe (it's a part of XIP -> OEMXipKernel). I have no idea if this file should be changed when porting ROM to 6.5.x. Someone else must answer it.

Normally MSXIPKernel is included in build, so perhaps nk.exe must match it. I don't know.
[Windows Mobile] Fattur:
I figure it out. When installing it says base builds version but when installed its becomes the name I put like Fattur's Rom v1.0

A customer brought a EVO that apparently has water damage and will not charge. I charged the battery via an external charger and it works fine, i replaced the power port but it still wont charge.

I put the phone on my BGA station to heat up the phone and get rid of all the moisture and yet it still wont charge but works with battery. Its possible its a BGA chip, but all the components LOOK fine.

Any ideas??
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Water damage is tricky, it could have damaged any number of chips on the main board. Your best bet is to replace the whole board itself to avoid future problems.

Hey,

Sorry to hear about that, water damage is always tricky because you never know to what extent the damage has occurred. I would try the through it in a container with rice trip to make sure it is completely moisture clear, but I really doubt that will work. It sounds like the water fried something between the power port and the mother board. :confused: sorry about your troubles hope you find a solution!

That wont work at this point, the damage has already been done by the previous user trying to turn it on when the phone was still wet.
