Tegra2 UbunTop v1.1.0

Webtop is great, as long as all you want to do is use Firefox and cloud computing. Beyond Firefox, WebTop, in it's current form, is mostly gimmick and PR. I also have nothing against chroot methods, but on the Photon you are running Linux, on top of Linux, on top of Android, a.k.a Linux. This isn't really for me so I sought to find a better solution.

After many hours of searching and testing I've been able to combine existing methods used on the Atrix and a couple changes I made myself to bring you Atrix/Photon UbunTop . This mod turns WebTop into more of a tool while eliminating the additional layer of Linux. Atrix/Photon UbunTop includes almost all of the basic features used by computer users on a daily basis. Here's a list of the main features of Atrix/Photon UbunTop:


Listed in the order of Linux Noob to Linux Pro (Yes, even I was a linux noob once.)

Webtop+: Stock look UI with enhanced dock!
Stock looks with hidden power inside!
Stock UI with PCMANFM Desktop

UbunTopLX: Pure LXDE!
Even faster and lighter still, with more control than Webtop+ with just a simple file swap!
LXDE Panel & Desktop

Easter Egg: Ubuntop Core (Openbox, just Openbox. Not for the timid!)

Development:
Bluefish (editor for websites, scripts and programming code)

Internet:
Firefox (I strongly suggest installing the adblock addons. I would have included them but doing so breaks the install)

Media:
gpicview
gimp
VLC

Office:
epdfviewer
OpenOffice (draw,presentation, spreadsheet, word)

Social:
Pidgin (How to set up Pidgin for GTalk)

System:
NTFS external drive support (mount instructions in second post)
syanaptic

Additional Webtop Goodies The You Can Install:
Stephen Who- Java on webtop confirmed
mastashake57's Webtop Exchange email (untested)
For ZRAM Enabled Kernels;
Trust me you are going to do want this!!! The memory savings and performance improvements in UbunTop are definitely worth it!!!
To enable zram open terminal emulator in Android and type

su
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
mkswap /dev/block/zram1
swapon /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram1
free *to make sure its working*

I will investigate auto-scripting it for you guys


Download Links:
Tegra2 UbunTop: (in the downloads section)
MD5- 3251D0D9B6F4C0AE88E6100E5675A8A0

Here is a visual guide on how to DL the files

Prerequisites:
Rooted
Unlocked
ClockworkMod Recovery (do not use bootstrap or safestrap)
Any UnLocked Blur ROM (Webtop does not work on CM7 or CM9)
webtop2sd is required for Atrix users because there is only 1.3MB free space otherwise (after resize2fs this is not an issue for the Photon)
7zip (I use a very particular 7zip setup to ultra compress files that winrar and similar can't extract)

Instructions: deviations from the instructions will cause things to not work
Download and extract the zip using 7zip and copy the contents to internal storage
Your directory structure should be /sdcard/UbunTop/!stuff!
Reboot into recovery
Perform a full backup just in case (to include /osh)
Flash the Ubuntop zip via CWM
Reboot
*ATRIX ONLY-Run webtop2sd (DO NOT RUN WEBTOP CONFIGURATOR, EVER)
Launch Ubuntop
*ELECTRIFY/PHOTON ONLY-Open terminal and Copy and paste "sudo resize2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p13" and hit enter
Reboot into recovery
Flash the menupatch.zip
Reboot and enjoy!!!
* Everybody needs to read the "READ ME!!!" file. If Ubuntop doesn't work correctly and you have not followed the "READ ME!!!" then that's probably why
* If Firefox can't access the internet, reboot into recovery and wipe cache

• To install "prepackaged" applications follow the instructions in the "READ ME!!!" file in the UbunTop folder on your internal storage
• To switch back and forth between Webtop+ and Ubuntop- Follow the instructions in the "READ ME!!!" file in the UbunTop folder on your internal storage
• REQUIRED FOR ATRIX USERS- Install and run Sogarth's webtop2sd

Webtop+ Custom Dock recovery after flashing a ROM, hard reset or wiping /data:
Launch Webtop+
Reboot into recovery and flash menupatch.zip
Relaunch Webtop+ and enjoy!


Many Thanks to:
Sogarth (webtop2sd)
SystemR89 (Debian install)
arvati (WebTopScripts)
jokersax11 (the original update.zip script)

Webtop+/Ubuntop with 4G 1/31/12
Root-Unlock-Relock.zip
SBF 198_7 OR 198_6
Tegra2 UbunTop
Webtop2SD

Advantages: As long as any updates are rootable you only need to root, install webtop2sd and use the "reinstall executable" option.

1. Flash 198_7 or 198_6 SBF then Root, unlock and install CWM Recovery.
2. Reboot into recovery, go to "mounts and storage" and format /cache and /osh then flash WebTop+ 1.2.zip
3. Reboot then install and run webtop2sd (suggest a 3GB partition at minimum)
4. Factory reset phone Menu/Settings/Privacy/Factory Data Reset DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP
5. Flash 198_7 or 198_6 SBF then Root
6. Install webtop2sd and use the "reinstall executable" option
7. Launch WebTop+ and enjoy!

NTFS Mounting/Unmounting in version 1.1.0

Sweet! Must try this. Thanks

Wow!! Good work loki! I will be trying this when I get home.

Guess i'm gonna have to start researching how to install all this...and now i have a reason to buy an HD dock / lapdock (if we get one) :D you guys are awesome.

First post updated. Forgot to add the prerequisites.

Damn, we have to be unlocked, there's no way around that or a workaround to keep 4G ?

Sent from my MB855 using XDA App

I may have found the reason I needed to unlock my boot loader... It's stuff like this that has me turned on about this phone. I didn't even buy the phone until after I bought a atrix lapdock modified it and verified it would work at the Sprint store. To me this is the future of mobile computing...

One device to do to rule them all...

Does this alter anything other than the webtop partition?

Got this up and running!

Any other programs besides AWN that you suggest we remove?

BTW I keep getting the error that the XFCE trash service is not working and to install thunar (which I already have installed). Anyone know of a fix?
