So i modded my Atrix with the webtop over HDMI mod and the Full Ubuntu mod. I have LXTerminal installed as well as Rdesktop, which works really well in my opinion.
My question is, what other packages have people been able to install? Would be nice if we could create a list of .deb files that were compiled for arm.

It's giving me an error saying the file system is read only and won't install using sudo dpkg -i.
Do I need to recompile each app from source?

rdesktop is RDP/ terminal services only, if I'm not mistaken. I'll take a look at Remmina. Thanks.
I ran the script but how do I launch it? Do I do webtop2sd, then run the script?
I'm not new to linux just can't seem to figure this stuff out let alone get any sort of desktop installed.
I prefer Remmina over Rdesktop because of the toolbar when in full-screen mode. It also has a gui, which I'm indifferent about.
Could somebody who installed Remmina give me a hint?
I added the Remmina deb, added the key, updated the package information, but Remmina is still not found by apt-get or synaptic.

1. Try some other games. For example Eye of the Beholder, Master of Magic and Colonization run here for me with sound.
2. Remeber to adjust the games to DMA 1, Interrupt 7, A220
3. You could try following:
Install package alsa-oss in synaptic.
Start dosbox in terminal by tipping: aoss dosbox -exit
I get faults with this method, and nothing changes.... syndicate still doesnt have sound :-(

Okay, I started this project about a month ago and I never really got into it. Now that I have some spare time I decided to continue.
I'm writing a program to download the latest CyanogenMod or TheOfficial Nexus ROM. After that you will choose what you want in the ROM (eg. wifi tether, Amazon MP3, Spare Parts)
Once you decide what you want in the ROM the program will remove whatever you do not want and rebuild it for you. After you rebuild it, it will give you the option allow the program to move it to your sdcard and even reboot your phone into recovery where you can perform a Nandroid and apply the ROM yourself (I will not write the program to apply the ROM because it's not really a good idea).
The program will be free of charge and you can download it and install it directly on your computer. (Windows only, sorry)
Now this sounds a LOT easier than it really is so if anybody has any experience with C# let me know if you want to help. Send me an email at [myscreenname] gmail com. Please do not email or chat me unless you're wanting to help develop the code. When I need testers I will let you know.

Q & A
Q: How is this different than Modaco's ROM kitchen?
A: Mine is software, installs on your computer with updates, and it will be free.
It's not exactly the same thing but close.
No hard feelings Modaco, don't take it personal.
Q: When will it release?
A: I can't tell you a date or a specific time but I'm working on it and I will post it the minute I think it's stable enough to pass out.
Q: Will it work on Linux or Mac?
A: Originally no, but I've had some ideas come in about Mac so I'll let you know

Thanks for you efforts. I Don agree with modaco charging for something that has been free to access. What if xda forum started charging to access this site? It would kill the spirit of what most Tom chefs do here. Smh.
Sheesh, you guys don't read, or something.
He doesnt charge for access to his ROMs. But he offers his subscribers the benefit of being able to customize their ROMs to their liking, pre-flash. The "base" install without customizations are, and always have been, available for free.
Wow!
Any idea of a release date?
I can see a new section of the cm website coming soon ..............
Will you already need to be rooted for this program to work or will this be a graphical program that will also root the phone? Thanks
Looking forward to this, i will definitely contribute to your cause.
I will also volunteer to beta test for you, as well as donate for a copy of the final product. I think its awesome you're doing this.
And, as a guy who tri-boots Fedora, OSX and Win7, I feel you on the "I only write Windows stuff".
However, you should check into this tool, to make what you're writing at least cross-platform for Mac. And, its totally free (and no, I don't work for them).

You don't need a Mac to deploy to one. This is basically an IDE with a Cocoa compiler as well as a .NET compiler.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13947701&postcount=128
overall its cool that it's running on the NC or most any android device - the con is that it's not native and uses vnc to localhost. it's ok to play with but really won't be of much use for any real projects. i'll try to build up on this release and use it in the field for some clients. see how far it can really go on the NC.
Im thinking about getting a Nook Colot but wanted to know if it fully runs backtrack since I need to use aircrack-ng on it. Please let me know how it worked for you guys. Thanks!
Hello,
I own a Nook Color and plan to use it along with notebooks in school. I am getting a stylus, but the problem is the app. Is there a way to install SketchBookPro on the Nook Color? I'm running MIUI ROM. Thanks.
EDIT: Is there a way I can fake honeycomb to run this app?
You could use Sketch Book mobile but PRO requires Honeycomb.
Yeah you have to use Sketch Book Express (Free) or Sketch Book Mobile ($.99). Unless you install one of the Honeycomb roms.
Alright thanks. Boy am I sometimes dumb... figures. Thanks again!

Thanks, but I just installed Honeycomb. Just to use this app.
Just went back to MIUI for the speed. Now i'm wondering if there is a way to fake honeycomb to run this app? Or modify it to run on 2.3.3? Because I doubt it uses anything honeycomb dependent. Thanks!

This modified apk will install fine on CM7, but force close when you try to run it because it calls on the ActionBar API, which is Honeycomb-specific. You can see this by following the logs.

To do this yourself next time follow these steps:
1. Use Madcat's sdk port running on Rack's SD card to install Sketchbook Express from the Market and retrieve com.adsk.sketchbookhdexpress-1.apk from /data/app
2. Get APK Manager 4.9: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
3. Update apktool to 1.4.1 (051511 release) for xlarge support: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
4. Extract Honeycomb framework-res.apk from any duodexed HC ROM, I used Xoom Tiamat 3.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203635
5. Install HC framework for apktool per instructions here: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/wiki/FrameworkFiles
6. Use APK Manager to extract and decompile com.adsk.sketchbookhdexpress-1.apk
7. Modify the AndroidManifest.xml file with a text editor, I used Notepad++ in Windows
8. Use APK Manager to compile and sign apk.

Ditto on the stylus issue...tried quite a few, haven't come across any that work well. Seems like the area the stylus touches isn't specific enough for any fine detail, or even writing properly.
I have been trying to run Ubuntu/debian/backtrack distros on ACE. However I have been getting a segmentation fault error for a busybox chroot command in the scripts.
There is a related thread in these forums if anyone is interested, but unfortunately no solution.

So just trying my luck here to see if anyone else is interested to get one of those distros running on ACE.
If it can make coffee when succesfull...im interested.

Hi Sandred
Did you find out any more in the end? I had the exact same problem with my Galaxy Ace when trying to install BT5.
If you look on rumah-android.com/install-backtrack-5-linux-on-android.html it seems to show it working on an ACE but I haven't tried using debdroid yet. I'll let you know if I do ever get it working though..

Marcus,
If you are referring to second image on the above site, it is not ACE. It is Samsung Galaxy something (if you look at left corner of the image, you see a camera/sensor on front left side of the phone) which is not Ace.
Anyways I was not successful running any distribution at all. I have even tried laika linux. The problem is with busybox which itself is segment faulting. Updating to latest greatest version did not help either. I changed different kernels on our phone and it did nothing. I have tried entering all the commands one by one , everything is ok until chroot command, where it just breaks.
I do not think debdroid app will help either, though I have not yet tried it.
I have not yet given up yet, I will keep trying when ever I get time and keep this thread posted. Thanks for asking.

Pretty smooth, I should say.. There is a very slight lag, but that shouldn't be a problem. Btw, I'm using the supercharger script. I guess it runs smooth because of that.
And just after running the shell script, when you get the "[email protected]:" prompt, type " vncserver -geometry 480x320" . And in android vnc viewer use port 5902. This will make sure that the resolution fits your screen.
Also use input method as "Touchpad", in vnc viewer settings.
And once you have opened the GUI using vnc viewer, you can close the terminal emulator to free up ram. I found that the GUI runs smoother if you do that. You can use the vnc viewer to bring up the GUI anytime you want, until the next reboot, since ubuntu runs in the background even after you exit from the terminal emulator.
The downside is that you cannot mount your sdcard in your pc, once you have booted up ubuntu. You will have to reboot to get it connected. I guess this is because the ubuntu image is mounted on one of the loop devices manually.

I see you have modified the loop device #. I had to do that too, since all my loop devices [dm-0 to dm-7] were already mounted upon by some other applications installed on my phone. I had to uninstall one of them, to free up the loop device [in my case, dm-7], and change the script accordingly.
It would be cool if we could get some other OS running too.. Windows, for instance . But i guess that wouldn't be possible, due to the linux architecture of android. But who knows, some day, someone might change the bootloader, and get it to boot as the native OS, instead of running it as a virtual machine.

After running the shell script, when you get the "[email protected]:" prompt, type " vncserver -geometry 480x320".

And in android vnc viewer use port 5902.
Regarding the color depth, I use 24 bit, and it runs smoothly. If you have lag, use lower settings, although it will reduce the quality of display. You can change the color settings on the connect screen of the vnc viewer. There is a list-box named "color format".

I was so eager that i exited terminal before that text showed up, but for some reason ubuntu still starts up as a bigger resolution after typing those commands. Oh and 5902 doesnt work, only 5901.
OH, nvm! It works now, gonna reboot and start over again then check if it laggs!
For some reason i can only chose "No Pan, Trackball Mouse" Since we have no trackball im unable to move the cursor. Any solution to that?

Probably it wouldn't even work with a JVM-implementation written in JavaScript (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12316557/javascript-jvm-implementation), because of the CSP and app permissions.
That's too bad. Let's hope someone will find a solution for this problem

interesting link, dalvik vm does not exist in b2g/FirefoxOS so I'm curious how the apps would be able to work.

They basically port the runtime and put a native wrapper around it. They "did" this for webOS and the HP TouchPad, but it was very, very, very limited and they cut and ran almost immediately after they released the initial version.
Stay far away.
