I do not take any credit for anything besides revamping the codes to fit new filenames and making the guide a bit easier.
I finally managed to get java to work with firefox. I test out runescape and it works great on minimum graphics setting may be able set higher.
This is a guide to run Java on webtop on any firmware version and more than likely (but untested) any hdmi hacks/mods.
Prerequisites: Rooted phone and minor knowledge of how to run terminals
webtop2sd (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119555) installed would be a major help simply because lxterminal is so much easier to use!
If you refuse to use webtop2sd, terminal emulator on the market will work just fine.
Download this http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PF56FTWD
Extract the ejre1.6.0_27 folder and move to phone
Copy the ejre1.6.0_27 folder to
/usr/lib/
Ingore this code if you are running from lxterminal
Code:
su
/usr/bin/sudo -u adas bash
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In lxterminal or whatever terminal
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/ejre1.6.0_27/lib/arm/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libnpjp2.so
sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/ejre1.6.0_27/bin/java

If you get "link failed File exists" run this. then run the ln command
Code:
sudo rm /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libnpjp2.so

You can also use root explorer to set permission for the files
Set to this:
read write execute
X --- X----- X
X ---------- X
X ---------- X
I will try to make updates to this whenever possible.
If anyone could tell me an easy way to take a screenshot from the weptop I would gladly take some and upload.

I have it running flawlessly. Autosetup actually asks for high but I use safemode.
I have no idea how to post screenshots of webtop but I know its possible.
Also I'd like to add that if you do his method and download the current version... Java runs very very slow. This version is much better.

Quite possible, I'm not a Minecrafter so I wouldnt know. But feel free to try, I dont see why it wouldn't work.
I'll try to get my hands on some screenshots later after doing some digging on how-to's and update this a little bit.
You could try imagemagick. Not sure if it's in the repos though. I'm about to head off to work or I'd try it.
If it's installable just type in a terminal window.

Could you post a link to the exact download for this? I could include it in my post.
I dont own a laptop dock anymore by I thought there was a screenshot function built into webtop. (Printscreen key or ctrl+alt+c).
Also I dont think minecraft will work cause it has native libraries for x86.
Very correct, ctrl+alt+c works.
There is no printscreen key though.
Yeah, no luck with Minecraft. It starts to load then just displays a white screen.

No problem man.
can anyone give me a setup towards this?
I've currently have xterm working, I've installed synaptic. Iceweasel...
There is a major step im missing. I cant launch firefox off the tab, but I can launch Iceweasel via xterm.

I dont quite know much about the modded versions of Firefox, but I would assume it acts and functions the same as Firefox itself? Ie, there is an addon folder?
That or get your firefox back working by backtracking your Iceweasel.

This is just a simple build.prop mod to fix the fingerprint back to the working ERE27 one used in CM. Everything in Settings still shows FroYo, but the Market sees you as ERE27 & thus gives you your protected apps back
To install run this from the directory you unzip the file to:
ADB Method:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/build.prop
adb push froyo.prop /system/build.prop
adb shell reboot
Then, once it reboots, go into the dialer, and type
Code:
*#*#CHECKIN#*#*
which is
Code:
*#*#2432546#*#*
for those of you who are too lazy to read the letters
A message should pop up into the status bar after a few seconds depending on your connection speed saying checkin succeeded.
Now you're good to go, open Market and download away
EDIT: Since I know some of you will wonder what this does, it just changes the ro.build.fingerprint & ro.build.description settings back to ERE27. This alone would normally be enough, but you're depending on luck to when you next check in. Dialing that code in the Dialer will force a checkin.
EDIT 2: Thanks to Shafty023 here is a method for the shell:
LINUX SHELL METHOD
Copy froyo.zip to /sdcard, then open a Terminal shell on your phone
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /system
mv build.prop new.build.prop
unzip /sdcard/froyo.zip
mv froyo.prop build.prop
rm /sdcard/froyo.zip
reboot
Upon booting back up, open Dialer and type in the following code
Code:
*#*#2432546#*#*
Once you see a notification in the notification bar that says checkin succeeded you can now open Market and are done.
Nice! Trying it now.
EDIT: Working great so far. Thanks!

Use one of the root file explorers to unzip the file, delete the old build.prop, put the new one in, and then type the command in the dialer

Worked great, THANK YOU!!!!!
I'm getting checkin failed. should I have renamed froyo.prop to build.prop?
edit: I'm able to see protected apps though.
So what happens when apps start getting udated to take advantage of JIT? If you have ERE27 signature do you get the JIT'less version of the apps? I know Replica Island is coming with a JIT version. I'm afraid to mess with anything right now, rather be patient and give it a few days.

If you inserted this line correctly, it renames and places the file in its directory as build.prop

Apps don't have to be updated to take advantage of JIT at all. They can be optimized but they can be optimized without JIT too. There are no different versions. JIT just converts the Java/Dalvik code into native code at app launch, instead of running it through the slower virtual machine. Its like C++ vs Java on a desktop, the native code (C++) is much faster when executed.
The only thing this will lead to is when apps start showing up in the Market as 2.2+ only, but by that point Google will have updated the market to recognize the new footprint.
Can someone give an example of a "Protected" app? If its worth anything, im assuming its paid apps. If so, i can see them without a modded build.prop.

I think Twidroid Pro is protected.
What I'm wondering is, if somebody swaps out the build prop but hasn't installed flash yet, would this block them from doing so?

Pure calender widget (agenda) is a protected app taht doesnt show up in the 2.2 market
Edit: Works perfect! Thanks.
If you are having problems with the checkin, make sure your on 3g and not WiFi.

Nope, Flash still shows up in the Market top apps for me, but I already have it installed. Technically it probably should show up only on the 2.2 Market, but Google may not be able to filter that yet since they haven't enabled the 2.2 fingerprint yet. Just theories here, don't take anything I say too seriously
Also, a perfect example of protected apps is all the Gameloft apps. Search the Market for Gameloft. They won't show up on 2.2 without this, I tried multiple times

This script is not compatible with NookColor software 1.01. I will probably not be updating it. All of my work on Gmail, the Market, GTalk, and this script has been rolled into GabrialDestruir's AutoNooter sdcard image. I recommend using AutoNooter as it provides everything my script does with one less step and fewer requirements (like Linux).
UPDATE 12/15/10 - Version 1.2
ADDITIONS
* Modified Droid X Multitouch Keyboard
* Working Google Talk
UPDATE 12/13/10 - Version 1.1
BUG FIXES
* YouTube would sometimes fail to install because the package manager was not running
* Device might reboot in the middle of the script leaving the process incomplete
I wrote a linux script that will automatically do the following:
* Enable APK installs directly on the device
* Enable Live Wallpapers
* Enable Multitouch for certain apps (Google Maps, etc)
* Download and extract the Google Apps (Market, Gmail, etc) to the proper place on your NC and set permissions
* Download and install Youtube
* Edit build.prop and packages.xml to enable Gmail and Market, and Talk
* Generate an AndroidId for the Market. The Android emulator is no longer required.
* Modify the fingerprint of your device to emulate a Verizon Droid Eris running Android 2.1. This will let you access protected apps in the Market that would be otherwise hidden. (SlingPlayer is one)
Requirements:
* Already nootered and have Superuser
This script is intended automate much of the process after the first two requirements are met. I recommend a complete wipe, followed by nooter and z4root and then my script last.
If you are using a version of the SDK older than r08 (Android 2.3) make sure to open the script in a text editor and follow the instructions at the top.
You will need to connect the NookColor via USB. Be sure to eject both the 4gb internal partition (/media) and the sdcard from your OS before running my script!
From a terminal, cd to your adb directory and run these commands:
wget http://muffinworld.net/android/nookcolor/NookColor-Config
chmod +x NookColor-Config
sudo ./NookColor-Config

Click to collapse
Press the Home button on your device. If you get the Google Setup Wizard, skip the sign in. Run the YouTube app and hit menu->My Channel. Log in with your Gmail account and press the Home button. Reboot device.
Gmail and the Android Market should work.
Awesome. Thank you!
I'll try before restore mi NC...
Edit:
can anyone help with the terminal stuff?
What terminal application is recomended and what settings are neccesary to input those lines?
thanks!

Need a linux partition set up then methinks
idk if Cygwin would work properly with adb, too much stuff to go wrong imo.
I am assuming since it will think it is a Verizon Droid Eris then the NFL app will work also? This will be awesome since I watched part of the eagles game last night on the way home from my hockey game.
Awesome job...
I'm going to work on a Windows version of this script.

My experience is once the settings.db change is applied for the App Install mod, the home button no longer works to return you to the home screen. I haven't figured out why yet unless it is a permissions issue on the settings.db file
EDIT: This is for the native NC Launcher. If you choose a Launcher replacement I don't think this is an issue.
windows version. Version 5 still buggy. Please hold off until I get a really universally working version
WOW,
thank you. I'll try it ASAP.
Got it! Thanks
UPDATED 12/23
---------------------------
1) Added automatic fixing of devicemanager.apk sql databases to prevent OTA root (thanks for the SQL tweak suggestions, Indirect)
2) Added otaban.sh script for those who are already rooted and just want to tweak the sql databases (you will need to put your device back in USB debug mode)
3) Added getroot.sh to just dump the nook back in to rooted/adb mode
INSTRUCTIONS
(Please follow these to the letter; over 500 people have downloaded this script and very few have reported issues)
On the NOOK
Disconnect from USB
Factory restore & initial setup
Browse to this:
http://goo.gl/vTNpJ
Click on notifications center, wait for the file to finish downloading.
Press on downloaded go_launcher_ex_v2.66.apk file
Select Complete action using package installer
It should say "install blocked"
Press settings
Tick unknown sources (press ok)
Pick Development
Tick USB debugging (press ok)
Tick the other USB debugging further down
Untick Automount
Back/Back
Connect the Nook to the MAC. On the nook you should see "USB debugging connected" in notifications center
On the MAC
Download the nooktablet-mac-root-0.6.zip file from http://goo.gl/qyYDB
Open Terminal, and change in to the directory where the zip file was downloaded. Unzip and cd in to the directory created. EG:
Code:
[B]cd ~/Downloads
unzip nooktablet-mac-root-0.6.zip
cd nooktablet-mac-root-0.6[/B]
Start the rooting script:
Code:
[B]./go.sh[/B]
Sometimes adb doesn't wake up immediately. Just try go.sh again if it says it can't find your Nook and you are sure it's in debug mode and plugged in properly. Also don't connect via a USB Hub.
When the script is finished, it should say "Done. Unplug from USB now"
The Nook will reboot.
You are now rooted and the following is auto-installed for you
1) Go Launcher Ex (Rooted App Launch/Desktop)
2) Market Place (The Android "App Store")
3) Button Savior (adds tiny button on right of screen for nagivation home/back etc)
4) Home Catcher (makes 2 clicks of the Nook N bring up the new Launcher)
5) Nook Color App Menu (allows you to install sideloaded apps to the Nook home screen/Library)
6) Dolphin HD Browser (Replacement web browser)
In addition, some tweaks have been made to prevent OTA updates from working, preserving your root state.
trying this now..
thanks a lot! i spent 2 hours last night trying to get the other method working and it gave me the headache of the gods.
edit: that mediafire link is crawling for me (dl is at like .2kb/s) can anyone mirror it for others who may have similar issues?

Ah, I just looked at the script, I realized now I missed out the mkdir -p ~/.android in it, hence your issue. I will likely fix that and update the script/zip file when I get a minute.
I'm currently considering whether to make the script install busybox at the moment. I don't really need it myself, but I see other people might.
Part of the problem is that if I develop the script any further I ought to test it before releasing it... but I really don't want to keep re-rooting my nook. I want to actually use the damn thing!!

I totally get that. I had just gotten done side-loading tons of stuff and getting my launcher screens setup the way I wanted and then I saw your script and thought about it for a day before breaking down and wiping my NT and starting over.
It was worth it! Thanks again!
I'm confused... rooting on PC using other method didn't work for me and now I'm stumped on Mac as well.
This part stumped me:
unzip it
cd in to nooktablet-mac-root-0.4 directory
mkdir -p ~/.android
./go.sh
Can someone explain the steps in greater detail? I tried runing the adb fiel via terminal, it goes through the script but does nothing on installing files to the device.
Thanks.
Minor problems encountered
I followed the directions and it mostly worked. First, had the problem with the missing:
[ ! -d ~/.android ] && mkdir ~/.android
Then I wasn't sure about the step where it says to click on the golauncher icon in the notifier. I clicked on the LauncherPro.apk entry and choose the package installer. That seemed to work but I'm not sure that's what you meant.
Then found out I should have unplugged the USB cable before rebooting otherwise the launcher chooser is covered by some wrning message. (I can't remember the exact wording now.)
Installed Button Savior. Not sure what that does. I can't figure out where it's suppose to be on the screen.
And worst of all, LauncherPro keeps crashing on me, dumping me back into native Nook mode. That requires a reboot.
But despite all that, I'm happy and will now probably keep my NT.
Big thanks!!

Launcher: that's what I meant.
Unplug: if you dont before you reboot it probably wants to media sync
Button savior: installs a tiny button on the right of the screen. Gets you back/home
LAUNCHER: certain things crash for me. Cant change dock shortcuts for example
I'm sure this will all get smoother in time. Pretty good already though.

Thanks. I found the little tiny button savior icon while trying out an ssh client. It shows up well on a black background.
And that does make it real easy to get back and forth between Android and Nook. Thanks again for making this easy and the button savior recommendation.
I may have to break down and try the Amazon store now.

Hey! Noob here. Thanks so much for this! Just have a few questions...is this a permanent fix? I currently have the amazon appstore, but not android, so is this going to be set up the same way (i.e. have to click search and then go launcher to find the apps)?
When I connect to my mac, the usb debugging prompt will come up right away (like the screen for file xfer normally does)?
After unzipping, are those instructions to enter into the mac's terminal command prompt? Sorry, that's where u lost me! Is "cd" short for something? Thanks again for your help. Just want to make sure I do this right the first time. I think swype is the first thing I will install. Hating this keyboard!!!
First, I want to openly thank t-r-i-c-k for this. Even with little to no knowledge of this kind of stuff, after futzing with terminal for a while I got it to work in two tries. Finally, freedom from another lock-in service/device. But I am having a little glitch that I don't understand.
It's intermittent, but now and then I'm getting a crash on the launcher. It happens when trying to adjust settings/preferences. No big deal as it comes right back, and maybe its the app itself. Anyone else facing this?

I installed the ADW Launcher because LauncherPro wouldn't let me change the dock shortcuts. ADW is letting me modify just about everything--dock shortcuts, icons, etc., without issue.
I get an occasional crash but not as many as before.

[COLOR="Red"][email protected][/COLOR]:[COLOR="Blue"]/[/COLOR]#
startvnc
You should then be able to open your vnc app and connect to bt5.
Server: localhost
Port: 5901
password toortoor

I'll update post 2 with any questions & answers.
Will update this post with instructions for replacing Webtop tonight.

Big thanks to kholk(WebTopMod & post formatting ), shady_lanem(Arctic) & the rest of EternityProject..
Without the hard work from these guys, this would never have been possible.
How do I install a package?
Load up BT and start vnc.
Open a terminal.
Code:
gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
uncomment lines 17 & 18
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports lucid universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid universe
uncomment lines 19, 20, 21 & 22 if required.
Save and close.

apt-get update
apt-get install *package name*
How do I update Backtrack?
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
You may also want to do a msfupdate if you want to use metasploit.
Does this support monitor mode?
Yes, but only for USB wifi cards. You need a Motorola dock or a USB OTG cable with a powered hub & some slight hackery to make this work.
Is there internet from inside backtrack?
Yes
Wifi & 3G works.. I don't have the LTE version of the phone so cannot tell you if it works.
Here are the Screenshots in the zip file ...
the best place to upload the rom is at:
rapidshare.com
multiupload.com
megaupload.com.
Cheers from greece!!!waiting for tha rom...
I'm waiting upload
thanks
megaupload would be good to upload it. can still download it for free, as long as its below 1 gb.
btw, can this run directly on the phone, without the use of a webtop?

Yep, runs on phone without webtop or can replace webtop.

Hi Guys,
I still have a little more work to go before the .img file and scripts are ready for upload..
Here is some screenshots of bt5 running on the phone.. Will post some Webtop shots later and have an upload this weekend. Couldn't work out how to post them on here, so attached in a zip.
If someone can upload them and post links I'll include them here.
Question: Where's the best place to upload ~900mb zip?

So... Why don't you spread it via bittorrent? It's fast (well, after some time passes), it's free. Creating a magnet link is simple. Publishing on TPB just a little more complex.
utorrent.com
Direct downloads are actually more faster! Dont need the existence of many seeders, and bandwidth is always there to be used.
How are things going TS?
benchmark
Have you tried a benchmark on aircrack or had any luck getting pyrit to work?

Aircrack isn't built into the armel BT5 image.. I've tried to leave it as stock as possible so that end users can customise as required.
I will be releasing a different version with the customisations that I'm using.
Upload will be happening tonight. I'll post scripts required and a guide on booting the image up.
When using BT5 on the handset(not webtop), VNC is required to connect to display. I don't have a way to have a full onscreen keyboard as yet. Screen works fine for mouse control but for any imput is a little annoying for screen alone.
I'm using a bluetooth keyboard and that works well. Webtop with dock or nebtop/hdmi hack works great. Quick and responsive OS.
EDIT: Screenshot of wireless apps/settings attached
Sweet. I would rather use a bt keyboard then on screen anyway. I am very interested to see this in action.

will post instructions when I get to work.

any way to get Ubuntu on it instead.... wouldn't it be similar?
edit: is there working internet?..like the browser?
Hello,
I have a question to you. Does anybody know how to change the default GUI that gets loaded on startup?
If I'd know it I could install GNOME Shell on my Nexus 7 on top of Ubuntu Touch.
We could do so much with UT if somebody could help me with this...
Could someone start hacking with me this?
I've install 'gnome' and 'xorg' and if I type 'startx' it tells me that I have no permission because there is no file .Xauthority. How do I get those files?? Please help! I want to get it working...

try chmod 777 xorg or gnome (don't know wich one you want)in terminal or xterminal(my advice:xterminal because it starts with root acces)

Thanks! But that was not the problem. Please look at my thread with the Ubuntu Touch apps in the general section because I can't remember it (it's night here so I should better sleep now than writing this down ).
Maybe you can help me with the last problems (I hope) to get xorg working.
Ubuntu Touch has no xorg drivers, only SurfaceFlinger from Android, so xorg will not run.
