(if I missed you please PM me know and I will ad you to the list as a couple donations have come in through my website)

I'm actually a vodka drinker. :)

I'm still trying to get my hands on a lapdock. There do not seem to be any available in my area so it's slow going. I currently have an unfinished 1.2.0 release with bulletproofing of Ubuntop and testing of DVD-CDROM support that needs to be finished. As soon as I get my hands the replacement dock I'll be able to test and kick out the next release. I also still need to get the donators section of the website up.

I am also again trying to reach out to Motorola and Ubuntu with regards to Webtop and have offered any help I can to the NexPhone project. I've spent a lot of time on the phone and playing email tag as of late. With the current state of updates for the Tegra2 Moto's being unsettling at best, I'm also trying to get together a framework to have a group of devs to see if we can get Webtop/Ubuntop to work on AOSP as an alternative. I'm also still trying to help out Photon users where I can with regards to things like rooting and unlocking Q&A. I'm also still occasionally help out other devs where needed. Being the only person focusing on the Electrify and Photon on the Webtop side of things, all these things together has me still spread pretty thin. I really want to continue with Ubuntop as it fills a need for many people that Moto has failed to do. Reducing my presence on xda may very well be a part of that as it will free up more time to focus projects and funding.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BigJeff:
Getting my atrix in a week and hopefully a lapdock so I can use UbunTop. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, sorry to hear people were being dicks and ruined it, hope you continue.

EDIT: This works with the lapdock right? Also I haven't read through here thoroughly, my bad, but is there any way to do this through like HDMI out so I don't have to drop $100?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Lokifish Marz:
If you shop around you can find the dock for about $40 but it may take a little while. Last I heard the Nebtop app still works but has bugs with using the screen as a touchpad/KB (if somebody could verify this that would be great) but will allow you to use Ubuntop over HMDI.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BigJeff:
Ok I'll do that for now, and eventually get the dock, glad to see that the community chipped in and helped out.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ehvio:
Are you in the US? If so, hurry down to a RadioShack and have them search for the closest store with the lapdock. The SKU they need in order to search is 1706310. MAKE SURE NOT TO TALK TO A MANAGER. If they find one, they will ship it to your local store free of charge. They're on clearance for $20!

Again, do not talk to a manager if the item is not in stock locally. Managers do NOT want these items in their own inventory, as each unit/sale logs as a several hundred dollar loss in their personal performance reports, so they will likely refuse to transfer one in for you. Regular sales reps/retail employees don't know this unless their manager has already reamed them for it, so try to deal with them exclusively. I had to promise the manager of my local store that I will buy my next phone through him in order for him to sell it to me :D Very cool guy, glad he let me pick up the dock for Loki. I had to almost beg him though :p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ehvio:
I'm bored and procrastinating, so I figured I'd spout off some ideas for anyone who hasn't yet explored the options Ubuntop opens up:

Once I realized how potent Ubuntop is when combined with (1) DDNS + VNC/RDP + FTP/cloud-hosting (for when I'm away from my main computer), and (2) FTP + Synergy (for when I have the two devices together), I was 100% sold on the concept. Now, I often leave my MacBook Pro running at home, as I can dial into it for anything files/functions I might need while at school. Ridiculously useful, and a cool party trick, haha. But my absolute favorite perk of the setup is when I have my computer and the lapdock side-by-side. Using a program called Synergy, I can slip off the right side of my MBP's display, and I have full control over the lapdock via the MBP's keyboard and mouse, just as if I'd added another screen. The pair essentially functions as a hyper-portable dual monitor setup. 4-6 hours of cordless runtime. Coffee shop productivity doesn't get any better. AND it keeps my phone charged :D

Loki: not sure if there's anything you can do about this, but Ubuntop will not allow the remote keyboard (via Synergy) to type within the phone simulation inside webtop. Something you could possibly take a look at?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Lokifish Marz:
The lapdock never really sold in my part of the country and they were always special order no matter where you went. For example, while I was still with Sprint I sold more lapdocks then anybody at AT&T, Radio Shack and Sprint which was a whopping four in all. Of the four sold two came back and the ones that didn't were one's that I installed Ubuntop on after hours. The biggest problem where I live was getting past that "It a phone" mindset.

There's a Russian hack site that is combining SIMs & Ubuntop as a mobile DDOS units which I didn't find out til somebody tipped me off. If the right packages and installed there's really not much you can't do. There's a user that dropped in a HAM Radio Controller and is using that in the field with his mobile setup for meets.

I have also presented to a couple engineers, an early POC showing how Webtop enabled devices could be used as an alternative to phone/laptop combos in the field for telecomm, commercial and military applications. The overall cost was half of most current setups. It was really a "What can't you do with Linux?" type deal. The biggest complaints expressed was "Does it run Windows", "Has Moto/nVidia/Ubuntu released a proper full source code?" and "Why haven't I patented it?". Things like this are part of the reason why I bugged Moto so much.

Mind if I quote your post when I get the website redone? Also, is there any way you could get a vid of it in action?

Android/Webtop is an odd bird. Some things are controlled from Webtop and some via the phone. An example that may help you out is KB language. It is actually controlled via Android and is seen as an external USB HID. You may want to approach it from the Android side first. If I get the time I see what I can do as well.

I know I broke my own rules about merging the threads and posting in the Photon thread only. I will try to go back to that and if you guys could do the same that would be great! Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gmakris:
Sorry but I dont understand

I have an Atrix - I followed the steps install Ubuntu.zip & menupatch.....enter Webtop and I have the Ubuntu icon & options

Tried to install via Synaptic abiword & others but are not working

from the bellow steps

Launch Webtop+

Reboot into recovery and flash menupatch.zip

Relaunch Webtop+ and enjoy!

I dont understand what is Webtop+ so I did not do that

Is this a new icon or application should apear after the installation of the zip?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] napsterr:
that means...

connect your phone with lapdock wait to load... remove phone.

then boot recovery and flash menupatch

and then laumch webtop and enjoy...

thats all :)

webtop+ is just how lokifish named his modded webtop... Ubuntop/webtop+
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gmakris:
Thank you - I try to add more languages (Greek) from keyboard setup but there are no options to add so every time I need to change the basic language I do it from Android setup (external keyboard) and restart

I also checked from LXterminal locales, console-configure but it seems some languages are missing

any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jisse44:
Hi,

How To change Locale:

- Get you lang file here : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/po...langpack-locales_2.13+git20120306.orig.tar.xz.

- Decompress archive and get your file in 'locales' directory

- Copy the file on your phone in '/osh/usr/share/i18n/locales/'

- In WebTop, launch LXterminal

- Type 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales', and chose yours, or try 'sudo locale-gen fr_FR' (replace fr_FR by yours)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gmakris:
Thanks

I unzip the file langpack-locales_2.13+git20120306.orig.tar.xz to my windows laptop and copied only el_GR file from the extracted folder to '/osh/usr/share/i18n/locales/'

sudo locale-gen el_GR (dpkg-reconfigure locales gave me only EN and FR language update)

I go to keyboard preferences from Webtop to add the second layout but It does not have any other option

Then I copied the extracted folders charmaps, locales and the ISO.xxx files replacing the original but still no option !!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Lokifish Marz:
Status update on UT1.2.0 beta.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Lokifish Marz:
ICS has been canceled on a number of devices like the Atrix, Electrify and Photon. If somebody has an working ICS leak for either the Atrix or Photon PM ME. This is key to getting Ubuntop running on the devices with ICS and may negate the need for getting an ICS OMAP Moto.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] drmspidi:
When I`m trying to open the Terminal, or the WebtotSD Configurator I`m getting a black screen... and then nothing happens !!

Any ideias ??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Lokifish Marz:
Please post in main thread.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] FUZER384:
I was able to find one at a local RadioShack :highfive: I'm glad I had the SKU they had no idea what I was talking about. It's actually $19.97. Now I have to find comparable ROM. I hope I can still have ICS or JB. Hopefully in that TAB mode.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Lokifish Marz:
Moto abandoned all Tegra2 phones so no ICS or JB unless you unlock. This also means no Webtop3.0 and if you unlock and flash ICS or JB ROM you loose Webtop/Webtop+/Ubuntop AND the space taken up by webtop.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Lokifish Marz:
YET ANOTHER UPDATE (links to main thread)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] drmspidi:
Thanks for all.

Will donate today !! :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sahakar:
Lokifish you rock. Thanks for everything !!!

Finally I can ditch my laptop. Gingerbread Atrix can be my nettop while I shop around for a new phone.

Everything went on without a hitch and right now just installing the 399MB full Ubuntu upgrade. (Webtop2SD gave some issues but ended well)

Cheers

Any chance to install netbeans for php?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BigJeff:
Any chance to install Ubuntu software center? Or any alternative because synaptic isn't very good.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Alaq:
Best:

Run "apt-get install package-name" from terminal. Replace package-name with the name of the software you want to install...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Motorious:
Hey guys,

I've followed the instructions exactly as described, but I'm running into 2 problems:

1. I've run Webtop2sd without any errors thrown. Unfortunately, even though disk analyzer shows 2gb of space available on a 3gb partition, synaptic and apt-get are throwing an error essentially saying I don't have enough space to install the software I have attempted (OpenOffice, vlc).

2. Some of the repositories included by default do not seem to exist anymore.

I would greatly appreciate some assistance in these issues!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nacata73:
Many Thanks, it work for me:good:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ohnez:
Many Thanks for this mod! Finally I can use my Lapdock right!

I use GNOME-Applications Installer.

Yeah thats maybe true for advanced user but for other people maybe not the best solution.

I use personally all three. Gnome Applications Installer,Synaptic and Terminal.

firefox can't access

I have wipe data, but firefox can't fix, not access.

I'm noobie, how to run VLC?

It is old ubuntu, I can't download the software.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ohnez:
You must wipe Cache.Firefox need this.

search in the synaptic VLC and then mark this for install
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tony442:
Not trying to sound mean but do you have kids loki? If so... Did they ever give you a donation? Again, not trying to sound mean as I appreciate everything you have done for our phones, and I get where your coming from... But every dad in the world I think does the same thing everyday without any inclination of a reward or appreciation just because that's what we do... Just a view from the other side of the grass... Thanks again for all you do

Does this work on epinters CM10 ROM?

If not, what's the best solution to get Linux on the Atrix running epinters ROM's?

I've seen several installers on the play store for the VNC methode but cant decide which one to try.

Would apprechiate some advice from people who have tried this.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmbika:
I don't consider myself any way closer to a developer but as far as I know, it doesn't work on CM10 or for that matter any non-blur ROM. My story in short is that I initially bought a CM10 Atrix 4G and did the best efforts to run webtop, which obviously did not succeed. In that pursuit I installed Complete Linux Installer from Play Store and was able to run Linux/Ubuntu via VNC method but that is no where near in comparison to native ubuntu which webtop and then ubuntop is all about. However, Complete Linux Installer will work via VNC method.

And in that whole learning cycle and endless browsing in forums, I bricked my Atrix 4G with CM10 and it is still bricked but gave me a spare hardware/battery for another Atrix 4G with stock ROM which also failed at one point. Then I installed fruitcakes (ROM & Webtop) and followed whole Ubuntop process, got 64GB-10Gb SDxc card, and after a long time have been successful in running Ubuntop. Since than I installed many apps like Evolution Email, KNotes (Sticky Notes), KOrganizer. ExCacl, totem-player, DAV Mail client and so on and enjoying it for more than a month now. Occasionally it hangs -mouse most of the times which gets fixed by closing and opening the LapDock lead-and power cycle fixes it.

I am replying this via Firefox on Webtop (ubuntop) itself. So it is well worth the effort and pays back in a way in no other phony way any phone can do.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] AndroidDevGru:
Thanks for your reply.

If i have to decide between downgrading the ROM and Webtop, I'll stick with CM10.1.

Was it super slow via VNC or usable?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] johnannis:
Re: [WebTop] Tegra2 UbunTop (a.k.a Mr. Creosote Edition) 6/29/12

I was in the same dilemma with you, cm10 or a blur-rom (with its benefits) and after testing both of them I choosed to come back to a blur rom, Think cm10 is more beatiful but u will get used to it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Lokifish Marz:
Blur/Ubuntop

Pros:

Full phone integration (place/receive calls, audio/video playback)

Input tends to be what most PC users are familiar with

Smaller storage requirements

Faster

Shares kernel with phone (kernel improvements affect Ubuntop)

Cons:

Requires external display to run Ubuntop

Old code

Apps and repo's starting to dissappear

CM10/VNC

Pros:

Newer code

Does not require external display to run

More apps available

Cons:

No integration (can't answer calls, no audio/video playback)

Input tends to be "clunky" and not very user friendly (from an average joe point of view)

Slower

Larger storage requirements

VNC kernel is separate from phone (VNC kernel improvements require whole separate process)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Android03:
Hello all!

I need help removing these files from my phone... as in completely removing Ubuntop. Should I just delete the directory structure /sdcard/UbunTop/!stuff!? or is there something else that needs wiping/deleting?

Thanks in advance!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mmbika:
Hi,

If you want to completely remove these file (=ubuntop?) than in clock work mode (CWM) recovery, format /osh partition. (provided you have a fruitcake/stock or ubuntop (offfcourse. if you want to reinstall ubuntop than) and than inastall any of above webtops of your choice via update from zip method in CWM.

Before formatting /OSH please make sure you have webtop .zip file to install back to device.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] makr8100:
Now that the repos are down is there another repo we can use? Or could we use a mainstream Ubuntu repo? Obviously we can't upgrade the kernel without seriously damaging things.... Any suggestions on keeping these devices usuable? Otherwise there is WebTopMod which I used to run, not quite sure if their repos are still maintained either, but that ran a chroot method based on Debian (Lenny iirc). Somehow I even got better performance on WebTopMod than on UbuntopLX, although it was difficult to set up different window managers.. If anyone knows anything about repo management and could set one up (I could host if necessary) we should base one off of the latest LTS version of Ubuntu, which I think is 12.04. I mainly run openSUSE on PC's so Ubuntu repos are somewhat foreign to me. Anyone still interested?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jisse44:
We can't have another native version of Ubuntu in webtop. Mainly because of Tegra drivers.

Send from my Atrix 4G
[Atrix 4G Android Development] makr8100:
In that case I'm going to switch from UbuntopLX back to WebTopMod and try to update repos. Being that it's chroot instead of native it *should* be easier to update without breaking. If I'm successful I'll post my image (WTM uses disk image files instead of partitions) to a new thread. It looks like WTM hasn't been touched since late 2011 :eek: I shall call it WebTopFork :silly: WTF!

Hello XDA Members!

I was helping my friend who has a phone purchased from South Korea. It's model is SHW-M250K and is currently running Android GingerBread 2.3.6

I would like to add my friend to our plan, and would like to unlock his phone (and if possible upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich and unlock?) as well as root.

I would really appreciate your help if you can refer me to a useful tutorial, as I have found none.

Thanks so much!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalibertine:
Evening,

I've been looking for an app that I saw posted up on XDA before I actually got my S3. It was an app that would run when the phone is off and in Charge mode. It showed a Clock and I THINKK, the weather, not 100% sure.

I've been looking for it for the last week and Google, neither the XDA search had shown me anything, im properly searching the wrong keywords.

Any help would be appreciated, im sure I saw it in an S3 thread but i've tried looking though them all.

Thanks, Mason.

Finally. An amazing TPU case without the cheesy back design.

Lol whats so amazing about them
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LLStarks:
The Galaxy Nexus Diztronic case is highly praised on Amazon and Reddit.

I figure the S3 case will be too.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] itsjusttim:
Yes, its just a very solid tpu case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Zabalba:
The quality of the plastic is superior. Once I bought one for my Galaxy Nexus I've got one for every phone since then. They are the best TPU brand for phones.

You won't regret it. It's cheap too!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CZ Eddie:
My SII Skyrocket Diztronic case ended up being my favorite of the various cases I tried.

Not at all flashy. Nothing special about it.

It just "works" properly. And doesn't get beat up like cheaper cases do.

And I like that they are finally doing cutouts for BOTH the volume & power unlike on my last case.

I hate anything covering the power or volume buttons. Though some folks do like that.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mem4720:
I've used these cases for 2 years on Captivate, Infuse, Galaxy Nexus and Note. They're grippy, durable and fit perfectly. I just ordered one for my S3. Thanks for the heads-up.

Damn you. I bought a Diztronic Matte Black.

cruzerlite is garbage. i sent it in for a refund. the cut outs dont even line up with the ports correctly lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] OneStepAhead:
Sorry for the delay in getting our S III cases up guys, I was out of town and had an employee put them up. Unfortunately she accidentally set the start selling date as July 6th so the pages never went live. I said didn't you realize we weren't getting any orders?! We sent inventory to Amazon on Friday so Prime shipping options should be available either Tuesday or Wednesday.

We did include a screen protector with this release made of Japanese film. When we first started including screen protectors we were using a Korean film, which is slightly better than Chinese but still had some rainbowing and purpling. These Japanese based ones are great, very good clarity. Even though including them almost doubles our costs we've kept our prices the same for the time being. Thanks everyone for your continued support!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] monkeyhihi:
Just got the matte-clear case! Looking forward to getting it in the mail :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LLStarks:
OneStepAhead, does the screen protector cover the entire front and have cut-outs?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bohiti:
The company resides and manufactures in America (Madison, WI, near me!!). The customer service is absolutely OUTSTANDING. You basically end up talking to a real person who is dead set on making sure you're satisfied.

And TPU, in general, is perfect for me. Thin, adds a little grip but doesn't stick in pockets.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] anilkuj:
cldn't agree more, they are indeed bad. Just ordered Diztronic for my S III . Loved it on my Nexus , was waiting for a week for it to be available in the meanwhile i thought i would try cruzerlite . Apart from the fit, i dint like the looks of it too, esp that i wanted something with a plain back matte finish . Diztronic was the perfect fit . Love it Love it!!!
