[Q] Webtop is frustrating me soooo bad!!! - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok, so webtop is a great concept I think it will be quite useful if.. I can run other apps.. I've done the webtop2sd and it seems I cant get the webtop configurator to work. from my understanding thats how we get the ubuntu repos added. My ultimate goal is to have my guilty pleasure (minecraft running on it) I hope its possible but it needs java. can someone please clarify the issue? I'm by no means dumb when it comes to this stuff. but android and linux and scripts are so-so in my knowledge. thanks!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239265

For me its been a great feature. Im using the Debian image not the webtop2sd and.I can install many of the applications that I need, like OpenOffice, GIMP, and many others.

Dear God I am going to scream.
I am having this exact problem, yet no solution was listed. I have rooted the phone, I have loaded webtop2sd. Yet when I click on the configurator icon it glows for a second then nothing happens. I have gone over where busybox is installed. The diagnostics screen say I have both mmcblk0p13 and mmcblk1p2 mounted with the webtop configurator version 33.
I am not a linux noob but I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong on the install. All the icons are there, and all the files were copied, I have rebooted a million times, yet the icons just glow and then do nothing. Please help?
Using Atrix4G with real lapdock. AT&T US version with valid SIM and a 8GB Microsd card partitioned to the default 1gb/7gb split. I have the stock AT&T gingerbread rom and the original webtop was stock.

[Solved] SDK issue

First, I wasn't quite sure where I should put this, so if theres a better forum for it, please move it.
I feel like a real idiot right now, but nonetheless I'm having issues getting Eclipse 3.5.2 and the Android SDK to work (on Mac OS X).
I got as far as installing the ADT plugin and then once I got to "showing" Eclipse where the Android SDK was located I failed miserably. Every time I navigate to the folder and hit open and then apply nothing happens, it just stays at the "default" no SDK(s) screen. Bit hard to explain, so I took a screenshot.

So if anyone knows how to get that to work, it would be really appreciated. Maybe I screwed up something really obvious, that would be just my luck.
Umm, have you downloaded all the developer tools in the SDK? Launch the android binary in the /tools/ folder and look for available packages and install them all, or the ones you'll be using at least.

Wasn't sure if that would work, I'll give it a try and let you know.
Hooray that worked.
Thanks a ton GrdLock.

Might be taking general a bit far, but off topic Linux question.

I'm trying to make a driver for my wireless card (wusb54g v4) and when u attempt to "make" it, this is what I get:

I'm a newbie at linux, but trying to learn. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Also, if more info helps, this is Ubuntu 11.10 stock install and am trying to get a different driver going so my wireless card will allow packet insertion).

Ah sorry, didn't think twice about the XDA app resizing things. It starts with error 2 only if I run it as sudo, then moves to error 1. If I don't run as sudo, it goes straight to error 1. I'm not around the computer right now, otherwise I'd give more info or a better screenshot.
I'm just confused as to what it could be missing. I've tried a couple different downloads, different versions just to make sure.

Here's a better pic of the screenshot, if that makes a difference. Should be readable now at least.

Tv friendly launcher?

So i got a MK802 android 4.0 USB stick and have it set up on my bedroom tv.
I can choose and tweak, to use a setup with Android settings as a big phone a regular phone or a tablet. But i was hoping that there was something like a TV launcher. I have found a project on github (see link below) but have no idea if it will work on 4.0 or even if it is what i am looking for.
I was hoping someone knew of a tv friendly launcher.
For example i really like the look of something like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwpgPP0ncAo&feature
It would be way more useful for my purpose, than the standard android os.

I have not seen it yet, but maybe someone could help me by compiling an APK from this:
https://github.com/rharter/Android-TV-Launcher
As far as i can tell from reading,it seems to be somewhat what i am looking for.
Don't take this the wrong way but did you explore the github page you linked to?
There is a compiled version in its bin files section with the word debug in the filename and it does work. At least on gb as I just installed and checked before replying.
It simply shows every app on the device but in one easy to navigate strip across middle of the screen but download it and see if it is what you need

Oh my thats embarrasing. But thanks.
I wrote the developer but he sadly gave up on the project. I would love to just to be able to select which apps that shows up in the launcher. Thqt should be a small adition to add an app drawer and a selction of which apps to appear in the launcher. Oh well.. My search continues. I just don't have any idea where to go from here

[Q] Basic(?) rom modding? Please do read...

Hello! I'd like to ask the community about something I've been interested doing as a project for a phone I plan on buying, I've looked around and I see lots of tutorials, but they don't quite meet the very specific criteria.
My problem is that I want to buy the "Umi C1" (click click for more info o: ) and the UI on the Stock ROM is awful.
I've looked around and there's apparently a way to modify ROMs using another phone's ROM files.
I was thinking of using the "HDC ONE M8's"(fake HTC one m8) ROM files and transferring them over to the C1's ROM file. (Both phones run the MTK6582 SOC, both have 1GB of RAM, Both have 16GB of storage, both run 1280x720P panels...)
Is this in anyway possible? Both roms are Odexed. (new to this, looked around on how to deodex roms and found a tutorial but I'm not sure how things will go first.)

Hello!
You can't move the whole content of a ROM made for a specific model, to another ROM made specific for a different model.
The reason for this is because the ROM also contains native libraries (drivers) that are specific to the hardware of the phone, and are not specific to the Android base code.
In other words, you would need to port the UI and framework only, not simply move all the files and even this is not very straightforward unfortunately. If you only want some minor (or major) changes of the home screen and application menu, then there are plenty of third party launchers on the market that should do the trick for you.
I hope this helped you.

Twrp's keyboard

Hey guys, after several research and various holes in the water I open this theard to ask if anyone knows a way to get the keyboard used in twrp recovery .. I know, there are keyboards like "hacker's keyboard" but the one used in twrp is simple and looks awsome.
Is there a way to transport it in apk or zip to flash?
Thanks

I'm in the same situation, I love it!
Hi,
This is probably what you're looking for: https://github.com/mgood7123/TWRP-Team-Win-Recovery-Project-Keyboard/releases. Seems to be in early development.

Is it trusted? I don't have knowledge about programming and can someone examine the source code for non-developers? @The_Walking_Playground

Hi,
The keyboard itself seems to work, and it doesnt request any permissions, so it should be safe to use. Its just currently incomplete. I typed this post with it.

I think developer didn't complete that app because it has some bugs. Let's wait stable version.
I love the twrp recovery keyboard. Very simple, bright white and dark layout, simply awesome. I have been searching it for long time. Please guys help us to get that keyboard.
