You will find a rewritten version of 00readme.txt, with updated version of the files I created (the other files were created by Linux Gentoo).

What rom should I use... I mean every one that is stock or blur based are out dated so which one would any of you recommend

Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
From page 52:

"Is there a way to use Gentop2 with atrICS or ICSRom? They seem pretty solid now and a true webtop would be the icing on that ice cream sandwich"

"No. Anyways, I just got my Atrix and Lapdock so I can't wait to try this! It's just too bad there's no more development for this cool project."

Also, HDMI is not supported yet on CM9 and up with new kernel. Searching through this forum would have pointed you to your answer, which is GB based ROMs, and CM7 does not work with this project.

nano commands from install txt dont work in terminal IDE, how to install it, its simple text editor if i remember right
It is because you forgot to "install system".
do i need to "install system" in terminal IDE?
Yes. But not "install gcc".

For emerge -g, you need an internet connexion to gentooandroid.sourceforge.net

You must also add symlink that I forgot to put in this patch.

What I have: [email protected] ~ $ cd /data/data/com.spartacusrex.spartacuside/gentoo_armv6l/etc/
[email protected] /data/data/com.spartacusrex.spartacuside/gentoo_armv6l/etc $ ls -l passwd shadow resolv.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 xdej xdej 17 Jul 5 11:54 passwd -> ../../zetc/passwd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 xdej xdej 22 Jul 5 11:17 resolv.conf -> ../../zetc/resolv.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 xdej xdej 17 Jul 5 11:17 shadow -> ../../zetc/shadow

To obtain that:
Code:
cd /data/data/com.spartacusrex.spartacuside/gentoo_armv6l/etc/ ; for i in passwd shadow resolv.conf ; do ln -s ../../zetc/$i . ; done

am now working to make
Code:
FEATURES=-sandbox emerge screen
I have now
Code:
CONFIG_SHELL=/data/data/com.spartacusrex.spartacuside/gentoo_armv6l/usr/local/script/sh FEATURES=-sandbox emerge -v gdbm
which is working :victory:

I am now working to make emerge app-admin/eselect-python work also.

EDIT: submitted a patch at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476398 that is necessary.

This installs graphics interface:
Code:
FEATURES=-sandbox PORTAGE_BINHOST=http://sourceforge.net/projects/gentooandroid/files/packages/packages USE=libkms VIDEO_CARDS="exynos omap freedreno intel nouveau radeon" emerge --autounmask-write -Gv xorg-server x11vnc xterm
... and in parallel, on the raspberry I am doing
Code:
QEMU_USER_TARGETS="arm armeb i386 x86_64" USE="iscsi usbredir alsa pulseaudio python python_targets_python2_7" QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS="arm i386 x86_64"  emerge -bv --autounmask-write --keep-going qemu xrandr fluxbox awesome
.

which is working ON THE phone :victory: :victory:
I am uploading http://sourceforge.net/projects/gen...unrooted_unlocked_android_v5.tar.bz2/download

Below there are three screenshots, all is running without data connexion.

Use "bVNC Free" from google play, and /data/data/com.spartacusrex.spartacuside/gentoo_armv6l/usr/local/bin/vncX to activate VNC access.

You will need a .Xprofile with at least the word xterm

Try it !

(no need to root or to unlock, instructions are at https://sourceforge.net/p/gentooandroid/wiki/ ; feedback welcome, it is hard do develop with zero feedback as I am doing since three months.)

Webtop is dead. It was a good effort by moto, but ended up being a failed effort. Its all about hdmi mirroring now

Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
I have compiled xorg-server in gentoo_armv6l_unrooted_unlocked_android_v6_v7_diff.tar.bz2

When xv is started then stopped, the xv window shows briefly on the screen. You may try it on /dev/graphics/fb1 or /dev/graphics/fb0

It is much undocumented hence reserved to the one having already done an "emerge". install version 7 of gentoo_armv6l following http://sourceforge.net/p/gentooandroid/wiki/InstallingInstructions/ with the patch v6_v7 after the patch v5_v6,
Then type:
VIDEO_CARDS="exynos modesetting omap freedreno intel nouveau radeon" PYTHON_TARGETS=python2_7 FEATURES=-sandbox PORTAGE_BINHOST=http://sourceforge.net/projects/gentooandroid/files/packages/packages emerge --autounmask-write -bgkav xorg-server cfg-update x2x x11vnc
Xvfb is working very nice with an VNC client.
