Maybe I missed something during webtop2sd installation?

Webtop starts but no dock, no "startmenu" ain't displayed...

Which options shall be activated under 'advanced' Tab? (I clicked *off* everything) and pressed execute....

Thank you

Hi Lokifish Marz

Thank you for getting me up and running with you quick response

Full installed now on my atrix and running great.

The only thing I really need now is something to play full screen video properly

The VLC player is fine in a small window but jerky on full screen

I have installed the faux 1.3ghz kernel

Is there a way of having the Motorola Media Centre back on there as it played the movies fine at full screen?

Many thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] USSRxAZ:
install any xine based player, much better in fullscreen mode

kaffeine (best for me)

totem-xine

xine-ui (or similar)

@Lokifish Marz

which linux games are working? and how to play Halo :D

i ve tryed simple games like atanks and freeciv with no result

Also big thanx for this, it works faster than usual webtop2sd method somehow
[Atrix 4G Android Development] liquidhead:
Thanks for the tip

Got glitches on the font too - letter r and m and others look bad....... :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ToonShadow:
Under advanced tab, make sure to check "Missing dock work around" and then run webtop2sd again.

I got the same message for the resize thing. I just ignored it and flashed the menu patch and everything seems to be working fine. Double check though, who knows if it's an important step.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sxg75:
Had still no luck. But I simply went further and installed UbuntuLX as webtop-start-script - then Ubuntu-Desktop would start. That's what I wanted to get to.

themes

Hi,

this webtop plus is excellent on the atrix, im running it from a class 2 card via webtop2sd, and its still pretty snappy!

anyway i was poking around hoping to change the ugly motorola theme.

first i switched to lxde and installed 'lxappeareance' but it wouldn't let me change the theme.

so instead i tried swapping the 'webtoptheme' files and it works!

changing the gtk2 themes seems to be a bit hit-and-miss, mobileview looks strange and menu rendering seems to become unstable. currently trying to find a fully compatible theme.

but replacing the metacity themes (window borders) seems absolutely fine!

-I renamed metacity-1 in the 'webtop-theme' folder to metacity-1_moto.

/osh/usr/share/themes/webtop-theme

-copied a new metacity-1 folder from a (metacity) theme from gnome-look.org

http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Dust+Blue+Metacity?content=91808

-reboot. :)

also hoping to change the font to the ubuntu one.

Fonts issue

Thanks for the updates!

Have anyone had problems with slightly corrupted fonts?

Its not every letter ... so with odd pixels here and there....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SoberGuy:
Really looking forward to trying this. I hope to flash today/tonight.

Gotta say, I'm really glad to see such effort put into the webtop. This looks like it's exactly what I've been waiting for.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aaron.a:
Its likely an issue with theme engines. A lot of popular themes use murrine gtk engine and aurora gtk engine. Try checking the themes readme for dependencies and installing the engines. I used the same replace webtop-theme method before I switched to GenTop2
[Atrix 4G Android Development] giozera:
can't access internet after doing all the steps including wiping cache. I also noticed that firefox points to some proxy connection. I selected no proxy and retried but no luck, again I found proxy settings inside applications>preferences>network proxy, also here I selected direct connection rebooted and still no internet. I don't know if this proxy setting are some how connected to my problem. I sow others here with this problem pls reply if you know how to fix.

everything ells works smoothly so far no other problems noticed well done! thanks for your hard work :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Lokifish Marz:
yes there is ntfs support in ubuntu but we never could get ntfs support in android(photon) working which is what's needed. If you guys have rom with ntfs support it may work. unless i missed something

I have had chromium running ubuntop before but again on the photon. in order to get ubuntop to even fit in the atrix partition i already removed a lot of stuff. As it stands i would need to get chrome installed in 1MB or less (remember you only have 1.3MB free prior to webtop2sd) or really gut ubuntop all together. I could script the install and include it in the software folder so folks could install it but that's about it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] greenwitch:
If you mount partition on ubuntu like I have described it is accesible from Android :-)

There are libs for supporting ntfs on Android for example for xoom:

I just wonder if it is newer than jaunty. If yes maybe I will backup somehow my working version of standard webtop with all tweaks and give it a try :-)

Thanks, I'll pass the lib info along to jokersax and hopefully he'll be able to look at it but kitchen has taken up a bit of time.

Nope, it's Jaunty. Jaunty for Tegra2 and OMAP got Maverick. Hopefully those OMAP will get unlocked because as soon as they do they get the OMAP version.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Lokifish Marz:
You guys requests are being considered. This WT1.2.0-180 build is not making me happy so i may be looking at a base change and seeing how much I can cram into the next update. Even if I can't get NTFS support on the phone side I will make a point to put it in the UbunTop side. Maybe even cram in an automounter as well. I'm going to need a little time with it though as I softbricked may Photon and need to get that up before any updates can happen. Here's what I have planned for the update;

WT base change

NTFS support

Even more cleaning of packages

Java (if space allows)

UbunTopXF (if space allows)

Fix/Improve Firefox

and anything else I can think of or come across.

About the Chromium requests. Chrome would be great but ONLY if it was at least version 15. The Chrome that is installed via the methods here on xda install version 4. I've run Sunspider, Acid3, V8 Bench, Kraken and Peacekeeper. I ran each five times and cleared/closed/reopened the browser for each run. Here's how the requested Chrome compares to Firefox in UbunTop:

Sunspider

Chrome- 4216ms

Firefox- 1350ms

Acid3

Chrome- crash

Firefox- 100/100

V8 Bench

Chrome- 324

Firefox- 780

Kraken

Chrome- crash

Firefox- 38326ms

Peacekeeper

(both Chrome and Firefox fail to finish)

If you guys want me to still install it,I will, but you will lose Firefox8 (and I'll have to keep my personal version separate from the released version) as I find it Webtop Chrome buggy, slow and with very little plugin/extension support.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ollonk:
Sorry that I never replied with benchmarks; my schedule is somewhat busy.

I flashed Ubuntop today, and I'm quite satisfied with how well things went. Firefox runs at least marginally faster, and the settings work better than they did with my old webtop setup. I look forward to further development.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] totti123456:
tried everything... still no dock for webtop+... UbuntopLX is working fine ... which is awesome... only problem is that i cant watch mkv files, vlc is too slow. Media center in original webtop had no problem playing HD video.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] liquidhead:
I managed to get working by resetting everything then working through current instructions in order.

I agree about the media centre - would be good if this could be incorporated because thats the only thing missing.

Still have corrupted fonts though which I can't figure out why
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Semseddin:
I can't download from the OP. It doesn't open website. Are there any mirror ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Lokifish Marz:
The Media center is an android app which neither the Electrify or Photon seem to have. I need do dig through the Atrix as more than just the apk. is needed.

When you click in the download link, what do you get? There are no mirrors (or there shouldn't be). I use an ad based file host that pays per download to help pay for deving.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] levi1123:
First off: WOW! This is clean, faster than WebtopMod, easier to config, and less apt-get dependencies to argue with. Thank you for your hard work in making this Webtop amazing.

Just to point out something i noticed though

RE: Firefox can't access the internet, wipe cache to fix it.

No go there. Without Wifi enabled firefox can't seem to access anything.

This fixes it.

.. During my writing this I've discovered that script already exists but isn't being run.

iptables still reports adas being blocked and root can ping out fine over 3G

I had been going through making my own as I had on a previous webtop install, when I realized we happened to name the files the same way. Any insight as to where I may have made a mistake during install?

Edit: Just to add, running the script manually for me isn't a problem, I was mainly wondering why it may not be running automagically at docking time.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Bluemotion:
I gave chrome4 a go, but I have to say firefox is much better.

+1 for firefox!...

Any chance of using a newer version.

Btw installing xfce4 and editing the start up script. Gives me a much more comfortable environment.

could you roll this from Gentoo? I hear it's a hell of a lot faster. I just don't want to deal with all the custom little things you have to fix to get everything working right on it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Lokifish Marz:
It may be that www.martian-imperium.com is blocked in you country. Not sure why but this has come up before. I'll pm you a link of the next release that will hopefully work.

My reasons for not using Gentoo are covered in post 13 in answer to the third question. Another factor that is not mentioned is that Gentoo is about as user friendly as a chainsaw to the face for the average user. Always has been. Imagine those here that can barely root/unlock/ROM flash and handing them a gentoo build webtop and ask them to install openoffice. As a Thark, I may be cruel but not that cruel.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] blingmaster:
Just wanted to say thanks for this excellent piece of work. I had been running a Webtop that had been thru about 10 Rom changes/upgrades. It was running kinda slow but I was just too lazy to reload it from scratch and apply all of the scripts and reload all of the applications from synaptic and customize everything to how I like it. Using UbunTop I was able to reload it to how I like it in about 30 mins. It is running much faster. I have been running it for about 4 days now and it has performed very well. No issues at all. Thanks again for the effort and I look forward to any new versions of UbunTop that you come out with.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
Finally got round to giving this a go, and for the most part all is good except when I try to do something requiring su access. I know this is most likely a webtop2sd issue, but can't find the solution in that thread. The following is the error I get when starting Synaptic Package Manager:

Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root.

Failed to communicate with gksu-run-helper.

So did you made this steps?

in webtop2sd:

- toggle advanced tab

- on advanced tab: grant sudo access

- on execute tab: reinstall mount executable & reinstall webtop configurator

after it place phone to dock/lapdock

(oh, and one more thing change language to "american english" in phone)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
Have done all this, but for some reason I still do not have su access. Very strange. Maybe I should try again with the older version of webtop2sd to see if that makes any difference.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
That is what I am thinking, but I know if I mess with it I will lose root access for everything, as I always do. Everything points to busybox though. I may have time to play with it some more later.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Xiazer:
I installed busybox and I lose data and webtop abilities, tried both versions of busybox to, the jrummy and Stephen (Stericson) and get the same issue each time.

Fortunately I have a backup image to right before I installed Busybox though. Took me forever to figure out it was Busybox.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Lokifish Marz:
This is where it can get confusing. In some aspects you have to think of the phone and webtop as one but in other aspects you have to think of them as separate. For example, on the Photon we do not have ntfs support but in the next release (plan to have it out today) UbunTop will have ntfs support even though the phone side doesn't. So even though the Atrix may have working ntfs support, the first release of Tegra2 Ubuntop does not.

Now about the next Tegra2 Ubuntop release. The base change has gone well and I have added in some polish as well (you'll see). There will also be a couple of other noticeable improvements like Firefox not maxing out the CPU on launch. The ntfs-3g package has been added but am still not getting ntfs automount to play nice. I haven't given up on it yet but even if I don't have automount working I will still have a much improved release out by this evening local time (GMT -5). I can always release an automount patch later. I am also playing with the possibility of an updater either via goo or some other means for ROMs not aready using an updater service (would require a build.prop edit).

Hi Lokifish.

First of all thanks for all this project, i have been looking for a all in one webtop since i normally end up ****ing things if i install vanilla webtop + webtop2sd.

Well, right now, after a month of being on ICS I'm looking for a Gingerbread firmware to use the webtop. Do you have any recommendation in firmware to use your webtop? Yesterday i tried with the Aura firm but i haven't been getting good results and i didn't have a good experience last time i tried nottachtrix, so i don't know which one i should go for.

Thanks again for all. :highfive:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
So I have an idea about what seems like a Busybox issue. With Nottachtrix 1.3.1 I noticed that Busybox is installed to /system/xbin/ and not /system/bin/. If I try to install to /system/bin/ I get broken root access. Anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Cheers!

<edit> Seems to be a superuser issue. The error I get says no su found in /bin. My su is in /system/bin. How to fix this I do not know.

ISSUES:

NTFS support isn't as smooth as I would like

NTFS drive MUST BE THE FIRST STORAGE CONNECTED AND MOUNTED

NTFS mounting on the Photon tends to have ALL partitions show up in pcmanfm (UbunTop's file browser)

NTFS mounting on the Photon unmounts internal storage on the phone but not in UbunTop

NTFS mounting and unmounting require scripts on the Photon (only unmount script needed on Atrix)

Media Center not supported by Electrify/Photon and ROM's missing the needed files (could use some help with getting the needed files media_center.apk alone isn't it)

REMOVED:

nautilus- 4911k

python-gnome2-desktop- 1421k

Tegra2 UbunTop Installation Issues

Currently, when I place my phone in the dock and load WebTop, I only view my phone window in the middle of my screen. All else around is black. I cannot even expand this window to full size, only rotate it.

This was my setup process:

1. Reboot to recovery

2. Mounts & Storage > Format osh

3. Flashed Tegra2 UbunTop v1.1.0

4. Reboot Device

5. Create webtop2sd folder under /system/etc/

6. Copy busybox from /system/bin/ to /system/etc/webtop2sd with ROM Toolbox

7. Install & Run Webtop2sd version 2.0.1

8. Partition size:15386 MB; Diagnostics shows custom busybox is installed; Execute

9. Unmount SD Card

10. When webtop2sd completed successfully, I rebooted phone.

11. After phone reboots, I plugged phone into LapDock and selected Webtop (btw, it doesn't specifically say webtop+ if that is what it is supposed to).

12. Lapdock opened properly. I could view the modified webtop. Rebooted to Recovery.

13. Flashed menupatch.zip and rebooted phone.

14. Connected to Laptock and selected webtop. Only phone displays in window in the middle of the screen. All else black.

I restarted a few times and then restarted the process from step 1 back to step 12 where modified webtop became visible again. After restart (without flashing menupatch.zip, the same problem occurred.

Anybody have any idea on what I should try?

Current ROM is Olympus_Gold_Edition.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] USSRxAZ:
Olympus_Gold_Edition is a prob

modified docking service is a reason imo

i had similar prob, fixed it somehow with reflashing webtop or something else but its still about this ROM

left Olympus_Gold_Edition anyways coz of several bugs
