[Atrix 4G Android Development] droidbird:
Apt and dpkg have been verified in this forum to be there for a week, search gets us that as well as some of the dependency issues.

Think about what you are suggesting

Be mindful that when pointing people down the road of running apt and dpkg that the very first thing they should have is a way to recover to stock. It is quite possible and likely that running apt-get or dpkg that you may twiddle some bits on your /osh partition that make webtop fail or unusable.

Have a backout method

At minimum, I would grab a dd of your /osh partition or one from here in the forums and keep it around. In addition, I would suggest you have a way to execute dd (if that is the route you choose to go for backup) outside of the /osh partion in the event you screw /osh up and need to dd back the old working /osh. Is the dd in /bin statically linked? If so, then the plan can be as easy as copying dd to some other partition where it can be executed from. If it is not static, you need one that is or a runtime environment where it can execute.

Have a plan

Why are we trying to get apt working? Is there some goal besides filling up /osh's remaining 77MB of space?

I'll start with a couple of options:

We want a working apt so we can install a less heavy browser than firefox.

We want to be able to replace the awn launcher with something snappier and that does not require compositing, again lowering memory usage and increasing performance.

A working dependency resolving package manager is "the right thing(tm)" to do as opposed to running around with zip files. Zip file are no way to keep a working system.

Exploring and discovering is cool and very fun, but either heading that direction or suggesting others do without a plan is to invite disaster.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] labsONE:
If you change sources.lst, please make sure you use ARM repos and not x86 repos. X86 software will break the Webtop if you load it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] shawnbuck:
For anyone that wants to try, here is the correct repo to use:

deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ jaunty main security universe multiverse restricted

Always make sure /osh can mount on boot, and that /osh/sbin/adbd remains intact. Without it, you have no way of recovering
[Atrix 4G Android Development] t0dbld:
well i stand corrected, thank you sir.... although mine doesn't execute, still the same error:

./apt-get: cannot execute binary file
[Atrix 4G Android Development] droidbird:
Are you sure you were in /usr/bin when you ran ./apt-get since you were specifiying that it execute from the current directory? Failing that, were you root and/or you might need to adjust your TOMOYO settings, but mine executes just fine as root as long as it is in the path and my /osh is fairly stock outside of the TOMOYO settings I have mucked with and a couple of other changes like adding a password for adas. If you still have problems, can you reload your /osh and start fresh?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] t0dbld:
i was in right dir , i am reboot it all now and will start over
[Atrix 4G Android Development] shawnbuck:
Suggestion to anyone working this, take a dd copy of /dev/block/mmcblk0p13, and use losetup to mount it on /osh when experimenting.

Edit: the kernel lacks a loop device, working on that now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BravoMotorola:
When you say " but it would be nice to know that anywhere i am i have a fully function linux machine in my pocket" do you mean being able to run Jaunty on just the phone itself, not hooked up to a dock? Or do you mean hooked up to a dock, just Jaunty replacing Webtop?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] t0dbld:
well i dont own a dock but i do not plan on running jaunty on a 4" screen :-P
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BravoMotorola:
Yea thats what I thought. That would be sweet though. People think I'm crazy when I run Win95 on my phone, I think it's awesome though. So Jaunty or just Webtop IMO would be REALLY awesome to run on the little 4 inch screen! But most people just think it's a stupid, and pointless idea:D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] shawnbuck:
The loop devices are in /dev/block/loop[X].
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Skellyyy:
Hey guys, already searched around for the Spare Parts.apk but haven't been able to find it. I'm not looking for the one that's available in the market... The more advanced one. Thanks. :D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dharvey4651:
It's free and it's in the Market. Just search the Market. You can't miss it. ;)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] jonny68:
I'm not looking for the one that's available in the market... The more advanced one.

he did say he wasn't looking for the one that's available in the market!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Skellyyy:
Ha ha yeah I did. :p

Us Dubliner's stick together. ;):D:p
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ridikolous:
I have it will upload tomorrow
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mattfmartin:
I never knew there was a different one.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ridikolous:
Its the one that comes with mdj cm7 build. Anyone know a free hosting site. So I can upload it
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mattfmartin:
Pick any of them, megaupload, rapidshare, ifileit
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] jonny68:
Neither did i actually so if someone can upload it (try and avoid bloody rapidshare and the likes) ill download it.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ridikolous:
here ya go

much obliged cheers:)
[Atrix 4G General] JoshRH:
Just wanted to drop a line here for anyone interested in the Atrix. I did a lot of reading and if I based my decision on wether or not to buy the Atrix off of what I have read I wouldn't have. However...

I came from the iPhone 4 and had used it from launch. Im a huge phone addict and have had pretty much everything, Evo, Pre, Hero, Storm, Bold, Inspire, Curve and many others.

I went from my iPhone 4 to the Inspire and although I enjoyed the Inspire I had a few issues with it like size, battery life, screen resolution and some funny issues with lag while scrolling through the browser. It would constantly reset while zooming and ovvrall lacked the fluidity of my iPhone.

So I decided to gamble despite what I have read and buy the Atrix. Although I haven't had much time with the phone their are many advantages.

* Scrolling in the browser is the best I have seen. So fluid, with no reloading of pages. No grey checkers.

*The screen is incredible. I love the small fonts and clarity. Second only to the iPhone.

*Battery isn't even broken in but seems much improved over the Inspire and some of the other phones I have had.

*SMS interface and response is much preffered.

* I can actually see that notification light on this phone unlike the Inspire which was under the speaker grill.

Possible annoyances.

Moto Blur. I am at work now and got the phone just before as hvent set up a single widget thus far.

Oh I also LOVE the size of this phone. A perfect round feel with an awesome 4" display.

My point is don't be afraid to try this phone. It has been spectacular so far as my foeat Motorola phone.
[Atrix 4G General] Aldiggi:
Its a fantastic phone and this is coming from another cell phone junky and I am also coming from the" All Mighty Iphone 4" and I could not be happier.
[Atrix 4G General] davidusr:
I'll third this. The phone is pretty good. I also came from an i4. I know there's alot of iPhone hate out there, but the phone "works", as does the Atrix. It's not perfect, but then "perfect" is just an opinion. Now if we could just get some HSUPA love...
[Atrix 4G General] RCDheliracer:
I also came from an iPhone 4 and I'm not missing it one bit :)
[Atrix 4G General] glock115:
I just returned my Atrix and went back to the iPhone 4, nobody could hear me on the Atrix when I made a phone call, besides that I was pretty happy with it but nothing is as rock solid as the iPhone.
[Atrix 4G General] lsxrx7:
i pretty much agree with everything OP says

dammn moto blur
[Atrix 4G General] nickleson:
I actually like motoblur because of its stability. I haven't had anything go wrong tland the only time I've had trouble talking to someone was when I called their iphone, a little ironic. I came from a sanding epic, att rocks compared to sprint and the call quality is amazing. I agree with everything the op said except blur. Also I think a great review that descibes what I think the phone is the review engadget gave.
[Atrix 4G General] waltah!:
I'll take blur over Touchwiz all day long. I absolutely love my Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] darkamikaze:
The launcher part of motto blur can always be swapped by something else.. Like launcher pro or adw ..

Only thing I'll miss from touch wiz is the notification settings drop down :x..getting this phone on monday
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
I'm really hoping that Moto unlocked the bootloader; I have the phone and life the screen and speed though.
[Atrix 4G General] rmanaka:
Great phone but data network stinks (like Cust Svc)!

I've been playing around with my Atrix and can agree with the OP, BUT the data speeds are absolutely HORRIBLE for me here north of Philadelphia (about 10 mi).

I did both a Speedtest.net and a Speakeasy.net test on the phone and saw about a 1Mbps download and a 0.1Mbps upload and the phone status was showing that I was connected to HSDPA. Walked into a Verizon store and did the same tests on their netbook connected up to their 4G USB stick and saw 25Mbps down and 5Mbps up!

22x download speed and 50x upload? Do I want to be locked into a 3G1/2 speed device for the next two years? Should I punt, return the Atrix and wait for a Droid Bionic or a HTC Thunderbolt with a true LTE radio?

AT&T customer service has been HORRIBLE about grandfathering me into an unlimited dataplan...if Verizon launches their 4G phones with unlimited 4G data I think I'm gone along with the other three phones on my family plan!

For now, back to my old Raphael (Fuze) and no phones on contract!!!
[Atrix 4G General] Aldiggi:
I have both iphone 4 and atrix and since I got the atrix the iphone 4 has just been sitting on my dresser. I am just really enjoying the android os overall.
[Atrix 4G General] smashcz:
I'm also coming from iP4.

Display on iphone has lot more colors (you can see it in the maps)

Internet is faster on iPhone sadly, so much for 4G... and upload speed is capped on atrix, so you only get 300k..

Tango, skype doesn't work on atrix.... not yet at least.

Other then that it's good.
[Atrix 4G General] resin99:
I just posted my iPhone 4 for sale on craigslist. I'm very happy with the atrix. The web browsing is awesome vs the iPhone. The speed and resolution make every single app that much better. I can actually see more than a few lines of text above the keyboard when writing emails or texts. Plus I love the voice commands, widgets and swype!
[Milestone XT720 General] solenero68:
hello .. I would like to ask a few questions hoping you can help me .. I can apply a patch to v13 without Mioze7Ae have partitioned my sd .. 2 I have to create a route with adb commands or just create folders in / mnt / sdcard? ... 3 What are the names given to the folders will benefit about ???.. 4 .. provides stability to the interior space as is the v1.3 now ... thanks sorry for the translation and my ignorance of the operating system Android thanks ...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androf:
The title says it all

with the iPhone we jailbreak it in order to install cr**ked Apps and install some other Apps that cant work without the necessary privileges (ex tethering), what about Android devices?

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Because we can and it's my phone and I don't want to be told what I can do with it, but the primary reason for me to Root and S-OFF is so i can install CM7
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] menov321:
Rooting means that you can flash whatever custom rom you want from proposed android gingerbread (before its officially released) to chinese MIUI rom (similarities to iphone). whichever takes your fancy....as there are alot to choose from.....you can also overclock your device to improve speed and underclock to improve battery....you also get total freedom to file manage your phone and make necessary backups if anything were to go wrong....this is just some of the endless possibilities of rooting...

Hope this helps
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruchern:
Rooting gives you full access to your phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skwuhrl:
Why would you even ask such a thing?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] menov321:
hahah.....lol
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobSimmo:
I rooted mine to get rid of all the rubbish bloatware that comes with being an Orange UK customer. They suck for bloatware, takes over everything! In your face Orange! :P
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peter9991:
also, rooting gives us the possibility to overclock/underclock!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onboardx:
it is necessary to install custom rom.i advise to you.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andywright1982:
we root in the pursuit of perfection
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rampage56:
we root because we need more control over our phone. we only want what we need and remove what we don't need. stock ROM is good, but its not enough.;)
[Atrix 4G General] Techcruncher:
IT WORKS SO FAST!!!!!

ocarina of time is spotless on the atrix!

YAY!!!!

[Atrix 4G General] Man_of_Leisure:
I read about this, i'm excited :D
[Atrix 4G General] PGenneken:
Ya I've been playing Mario Kart for a while..

Tried to play Donkey Kong but can't seem to get past the intro screen.

It says press start - I press it but the game doesn't seem to start or acknowledge the start button has been pushed....

I'll try a few more...

Pete
[Atrix 4G General] Techcruncher:
I seem to lose my acceleration at random in mario kart. Like I'll go around a corner and just stop. Do you get this? It was wierd. happened on lugi highway
[Atrix 4G General] PGenneken:
On Mario Kart I had to keep pressing the 'a' button to get restarted..

guess it's not 100% yet...
[Atrix 4G General] gordesky1:
any one having any problems saving a file? every time i try too save a game screen goes black and freezes and have to force close, I dont mean the in game save game but the emulator save game feature.

Other than that the games runs so smooth on atrix!! :)

Just tried it on my galaxy tab and the save game feature works and also plays smooth:)

But wonder why the save game feature aint working on my atrix...

@Techcruncher Yep i also getting that problem with acceleration on my atrix but it doesint have this problem on my galaxy tab...
[Atrix 4G General] jlai:
sorry i know this is a super noob question but where do i put the roms i dled on the phone? i created a roms folder on my sd card but the emulator cant find it. so noob sorry
[Atrix 4G General] PGenneken:
run the program and put in /sdcard-ext/romdir

romdir being the directory on your sdcard that contains the roms...

or just put in /sdcard-ext if the roms are in the root directory...

hope that helps..
[Atrix 4G General] jlai:
thanks a lot for the help. it really helped me out and got it to work now. appreciate it.
[Atrix 4G General] SS2006:
Noo if donkey kong isnt working i wont get this!

neone confirm
[Atrix 4G General] gasibigo:
Where do you guys downloaded roms from?
[Atrix 4G General] ermacwins:
Please post a vid, I want to compare the speed with my Nexus one. This maybe a deciding factor to purchase this phone!

Also if you have a wiimote, you can use it via wiimote and control the game

edit: does the phone register multi touch with this emu?
[Atrix 4G General] dew.man:
lol that's one of the reasons i left the n1 - multi touch didn't work for games.

the xxxoid emus work great on the atrix!
[Atrix 4G General] Ronaldo_9:
i got this for galaxy S i9000 and works full speed on mario 64 and mario kart. gold eye bit slow and zelda is ok with some drop in fps.

but GPU on galaxy makes edges smooth!
[Atrix 4G General] Ronaldo_9:
quick video of mario 64 and mario kart

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9I1_rKJp1o
[Atrix 4G General] colin725:
This is a problem with our phone, as I had the same problem is jetcar stunts.

As for the emulator, works great if you don't need to use L/R. Gets hard to control if you do.
[Atrix 4G General] Techcruncher:
Same here with jetcar. I think it has to do with the fact the atrix can recognize only 2 multiouches, and maybe the screen thinks we're pressing a,b, and the joystick (3) so sacrifices the "a" button, halting the acceleration.

It sucks that the screen supports 5 fingers, but the software; only 2...
[Atrix 4G General] Ronaldo_9:
Are you serious! How can atrix only support 2 touch! :-(
[Atrix 4G General] ermacwins:
Thanks I got the emu on my n1

I just wanted to compare atrix running Zelda dual core 1gb ram vs n1 single core 512mb ram
[Atrix 4G General] Ronaldo_9:
512 RAM is fine, its the CPU and gpu that Emulator needs to run well. The video is with galaxy s which has 512
[Atrix 4G General] jug6ernaut:
This emulator is so epic on the atrix. Absolutely amazing.
[Atrix 4G General] ermacwins:
hence why I wanna see it running on Atrix, I got the same speed on mario as you but zelda was choppy
[Atrix 4G General] colin725:
Zelda is completely smooth with a good frame rate.
[Atrix 4G General] jug6ernaut:
same here, 0 frame skip.
[Atrix 4G General] dietanson:
Any news of should we expecting a free version of the N64 emulatore anytime soon.
[Atrix 4G General] lost2030:
The games I've tried play great on my Captivate.
[Atrix 4G General] colin725:
Did have it crash when I tried to play more, but that's likely due to the emulator still being new.
[Atrix 4G General] atsim:
Strange,color while playing Zelda look deep and rich...wonder why it doesn't look like that all the time on this screen
[Atrix 4G General] ermacwins:
Videos please and maybe with frameskip, wanna compre with my n1. Also I take i there is no multitouch support?
[Atrix 4G General] Ronaldo_9:
the app has multi touch support, n1 does not have multi touch, it uses a special method to do pinch zoom, not sure how to explain it. well i will try....when you put your finger on the screen the phone checks the size of the area on screen covered by finger, when you put 2 fingers on screen/browser it makes that area one BIG touch, so as u put your fingers together the area gets smaller and zooms out...if you part your fingers it zooms in as area becomes bigger.
[Atrix 4G General] eljovalo:
Thanks a lot
[Atrix 4G General] jug6ernaut:
Wrong, n1 does have multi touch its digitizer just sucks. On ur n1 download one of the multi touch testing apis n ual see what I mean.
[Atrix 4G General] Ronaldo_9:
i'v used them apps, well i thought that was the case because you couldnt cross axis :)
[Atrix 4G General] jug6ernaut:
Lol yea, I wish what u said was right. Sadly it was just an htc fail lol.
[Atrix 4G General] xXxSamxXx:
Ya I had the same problem probably just an early bug

Sent from my Rooted Atrix 4G
[Atrix 4G General] ermacwins:
jug6ernaut can you post a vid of zelda running on your atrix please
[Atrix 4G General] ranova:
here you go (sorry, but you can barely hear me, probably for the best ha):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpNcERFiN5Y

Took another video of me playing Mario Kart 64 over webtop to my HDTV:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZqrj2aHNNc

I enabled accelerometer for turning, the volume up button as the Z-button. It would be much easier if I had a Wii mote to pair, but as you can see it runs super smooth fullscreen!
[Atrix 4G General] ermacwins:
Thank you very much

I take it goldeneye is unplayable?
[Atrix 4G General] ranova:
no, its as smooth as butter, but controlling it was somewhat difficult if you need to do any aiming. luckily goldeneye has a lot of auto-aiming
[Atrix 4G General] Juijin:
How do you slow down the gameplay? my mario kart is lightning fast
[Atrix 4G General] Techcruncher:
update fixed this
[Atrix 4G General] Juijin:
Oh i dont have automatic update. I just did Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] Athailias:
You suck at mario kart! lol j/k I am smiling from watching that video. That is so awesome!
[Atrix 4G General] ermacwins:
dare I say another vid lol

well on my n1 it runs about 1fps :(
[Atrix 4G General] gordesky1:
Does anyone have a problem on there atrix when saving a game from the emu itself it just goes too a black screen and pretty much freezes the emu?

Other than that it works perfect and works pretty nice on the laptop dock:) I also have my wiimote on it which is great!
[Atrix 4G General] ranova:
yeah that happens in a few games, even if you just hit menu and try to get back into the game. Mario 64 does this

When you connect your atrix in your laptop dock and play it full screen, can you still control with the wiimote?
[Atrix 4G General] gordesky1:
Ok glad too know my atrix isn't the ony one having this problem.

I tried it on my galaxy tab and it saves perfect.. I guess they need too fix a bug for the save option for the atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] Techcruncher:
hmmm...

Mario kart acceleration- Fine on galaxy tab/ broke on atrix

Saving- Fine on galaxy tab/ broke on atrix

hmm.....

I think that guy needs to get an email :p
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
anyone try Mario Tennis yet? its lagging bad on my Atrix when you start playing the game.....
[Atrix 4G General] lost2030:
It's pretty darn bad on the Captivate as well.
[Atrix 4G General] link64dx:
how did you get it to play on your HDTV? did you have to do anything special to get to N64oid? or did you plug in and that was it?
[Atrix 4G General] ranova:
using the webtop mode with phone at full screen. pretty pointless unless you have a bt keyboard. I dont think wiimote in webtop mode works
[Atrix 4G General] link64dx:
hmmm can anyone confirm being able to use wiimote in full screen webtop mode?
[Atrix 4G General] ranova:
I will test tonight. I had my friend test, and he said he could not get it working.
[Atrix 4G General] ranova:
I can confirm that the wiimote DOES work in webtop, when you connect via webtop you have to reselect the input device.
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
That is the best news iveheard all day
[Atrix 4G General] xmrgamerx:
i can also confirm it works. was thinking of making a video showcasing it as its the closest we can get to hdmi mirroring. too bad the emulator doesnt suppport multiple controllers though, would be fun for smash or mario party
[Atrix 4G General] Mercano:
So you are saying there is no way we can connect two wiimotes to the phone and play mario kart 64 in two player mode? :confused:
[Atrix 4G General] aodeleon:
Works great on the atrix i would say + 30 FPS in most games, expansion pack games works fine no problems, i testes mojaras mask an and turok 2. so far the only problem i saw are some minor textures bugs.
[Atrix 4G General] ranova:
Using this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ccpcreations.android.WiiUseAndroid&feature=search_result

You can connect multiple wiimotes, the problem is that n64oid does not support mapping more than one wiimote currently. Its probably easily implementable, but the developer has a higher priority of things to do before implementing it. fPSE (PSX) has multiple input mapping for other controller ports.
[Atrix 4G General] Mercano:
So, any news if two player mode will be available in n64oid?
[Atrix 4G General] thereal2x:
Lol they tool that app off the market like a month ago
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaliscojorge:
I used the search and couldn't find a clear answer to my question which is why I decided to ask. If the vibrant is updated to official 2.2 is it safe to just use odin to go back to official 2.1 or not? I am wondering this because I'm thinking of getting an extra vibrant of of ebay but most have already been updated to 2.2 which requires a different method to achieve root access and since I have all the necessary files for rooting and moding from 2.1 I just wanted to know.

Sent from xda app on vibrant running axura 2.3.1.2 :)
