HDMI Mirroring - this is not webtop without a dock
* portrait only at the moment *

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
sed -ie s/ro.hdmi.mirror.enable=false/ro.hdmi.mirror.enable=true/g /system/build.prop
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cd /etc/init.d

Adding software to webtop via SystemR89's Debian Mod

Common Questions
Q: Why don't I see the penguin icon for debian?
A: Did you forgot to download and extract the linuxdisk from the archive to /sdcard-ext/WebTopMOD/ ?
Q: What happened to webtop-joe.zip? and what was it?
A: Deep in kennethpenn's rom thread(page 67) I had posted a version of webtop that was the official 2.3.4 webtop called webtop-joe.zip flashable in CWM. This replaces that CWM zip.
​

I take no credit for any of these hacks
all credit should go to Sogarth, SystemR89, _Alex_ and all the wonderful devs in the debian thread.
If any of you have issues with me releasing any of these mods please send me a pm or join irc. Thanks!

I will flash this and wait for hdmi hack. Thanks Joe!

Will it have a way to install other apps such as openoffice or chrome? will it have the ability to access files regardless of where they are?

I remember because of chroot in the debian solution accessing files outside the chroot was not possible.

 

[airbillion]

Sounds great! Will this be cwm flashable?

I'm off of work and have a lapdock. Perfect ingredients for a test ^_^ I'll edit this when I have info.
[EDIT] DL'ing now. Works perfect. FF is (pre) updated and running smooth ^_^ lxTerm is good as is chroot and finding image file.
Good work! Thanks for sharing BTW Great to have a clean multi-funtional webtop to place next to the fruitcake ISH (incase stuff happens

I also would like to know about this? are you saying we would still need to install WebTopMOD over this to achieve the open office and desktop environments like ldxe and xfce?

thanks

this thread merges all the webtop debian stuff into one thread for 2.3.4
same images same limitations

I just merged the 2.3.4 webtop and the debian together.

HDMI MIRRORING HACK added as a how to manual instruction.
I do not build apk's sorry

oops not the same hack. I added hdmi mirroring not webtop without hdmi

 

[DanOtero]

no webtop option

I just tried this and after a clean install and I get no webtop option when I plug in the HDMI cable, I just have 2 options - Entertainment Center and Dismiss Picker... am I missing something? (i.e. this is just using the HDMI cable, no dock of any sort, I had this working before upgrading to GB).

The only other thing I can think of is that I have faux123's OC'ed kernel... I think I'll try reverting to stock and see if that fixes things.

[PAulyhoffman]

You need a Dock or a webtop.
this is NOT webtop over hdmi.
But thanks Joe, I've been working on this for a few hours and am glad i took a break to see you already have a head start.
I'm looking into some webtop over hdmi, but can't promise anything.
