I haven't tested it, the webtop is from Bell's 2.3.6, probably not a large difference, but can't say for sure.

Anyways, it works great! Everything ive quickly tried works nicely, openoffice, synaptic, Gnometris , etc, it's clean and quick, just what I was after.
Glad you like it!

Cheers!

I'd love to give this one a try. I'm using Webtop2SD right now. Can someone give a more detailed step-by-step instruction please?

This does not use webtop2sd, so you would need to uninstall that first as it would likely cause problems.

Not sure how detailed you need instructions.

I have limited experience with linux. What I got:
1. AT&T Atrix on 2.4.6.
2. Webtop2SD created ext3 partition on SD card.

What I plan to do:
1. Wipe ext3 partiion and copy the SimpleTop tar file to it
2. Log into Webtop ( boot from the Webtop partition from the internal sd card)
3. backup .sh and adas folder
4. untar simpletop in the ext3 partition
5. copy the new .sh file.

Will these steps work? I feel it's bit dangerous to do this on the phone. But how can I do this on a windows computer?

Thanks for any suggestions.

That is pretty much it. Just remember to be super user and include -p if using tar for backup. Tar -cvpjf /sdcard/ADAS.tar.bz2 . for example. Also, you don't want to be in webtop2sd mode if you are doing this but from a rooted webtop on the the phone itself. Or you could do it all from an adb shell.

Cheers!

I haven't used adb before. Can you list the commands in adb to install this? Thanks.

ADB is just a way to get a remote shell going over usb, so the commands are linux shell commands.

I would do something like this:

(Blank ext3 partition on sdcard, second partition)

adb shell
$ shsu
# mkdir /mnt/asec/osh2
# mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /mnt/asec/osh2
# cd /mnt/asec/osh2
# tar -xvf /sdcard/osh2.tar.bz2
# cp /osh/ubuntu.sh /sdcard/
# cp ubuntu.sh /osh/
# cd /data/home
# tar -cvpjf /sdcard/adas.tar.bz2 .
# rm -r /adas
# sync
# umount /mnt/asec/osh2
# reboot

Cheers!
