Sogarth, is it possible to add additional IMEs via Apt-get/synaptic now with your mod? I live in Japan, so that along with adding Japanese text support would really help me out. Any way that could work?

Hmm... I haven't tried Japanese input, but I can assure you that adding Japanese fonts does work (so that you can at least read Japanese web pages). As long as you know the correct set of packages to install, Japanese input should work, though.

Sorry for the continued delays. Things in my life have been a bit hectic for the past couple of weeks... but I am working on it, I promise! Although, one thing I can definitely say is that working with the Android SDK can be a complete pita....

Hmm... I'll need to find out what the exact problem is, then. I'm currently on 4.1.57, since I want to make sure that what I write will work across the various versions that people have (especially since it seems that the variance is growing with time). I'll upgrade to 4.1.83 after that, to make sure that everything works.

One thing I can say, though: I suspect that I'll surprise people with the approach I'm taking.

if this is Full ubuntu linux, I should be able to plug my atrix into HDMI to a projector. the pair bluetooth keyboard and mouse and run linux over HDMI.

from there, if this is a full install i should be able to run applications like LibreOffice (open office) over HDMI for a powerpoint presentation right?

 

[brunnogama]

So, this work is stopped?

I know people have been busy, but the threads regarding webtop modifications have been eerily quiet. It makes us feel almost as if people are giving up. If anyone has news on improving performance on the webtop enviroment, new useful aditions, or if Sogarth itself has made any progress on the script, give us a light, folks =)
