[WEBTOP] GenTop2-20120509 (Beta) - Next Generation Gentoo Webtop Replacement

[xdej]

Why are you targeting armv6?

Because some packages like cmake do not build without /bin/sh, and this one is only available on raspberry which does not support armv7j.

But you are welcome to try, execute http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap.xml from the gentooandroid that I distribute.

Ok, and if I understand correctly, this runs a chrooted linux? I mean it bc the vnc part. Or replaces webtop, as the original gentop.
Anywat, I can't test since my atrix is running ics and is on repair now

It is not chrooted, it does not need a rooted phone. It even works on a locked phone.

f you want to use sshfs (for processes on the phone) or encfs, you will need root rights. Otherwise you don't need root rights.

The adb user will be able to test Xorg, no need of root for that.

I fixed cmake. The command

PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" LINGUAS=fr USE="dvi2tty dvipdfm extra graphics png pstricks X detex tex4ht publishers" FEATURES=-sandbox PORTAGE_BINHOST=http://sourceforge.net/projects/gentooandroid/files/packages/packages emerge --autounmask-write -Gkv --binpkg-respect-use=y cmake make

will fix your cmake (USE may be useless, others variable too, I have no time to check because these variables won't hurt). Now cmake is compiling correctly poppler.

The error message of cmake was: CMake Error at /data/data/com.spartacusrex.spartacuside/gentoo_armv6l/usr/share/cmake/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:61 (message): The C compiler "/data/data/com.spartacusrex.spartacuside/gentoo_armv6l/usr/bin/armv6j-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi-gcc" is not able to compile a simple test program.

It would have helped me earlier if the message had been "CMake Error: /bin/sh not found".

EDIT: I also fixed make, shell code starting by "for" in Makefiles generated an error about missing "/bin/sh". Relaunch above code with make instead of cmake.

After Installation Steps

Hey guys, just wanna start by saying thank you for the hard work on this. Your service to the webtop community is priceless I would also like to make a request. I am reinstalling Gentop for probably the 3rd or 4th time now after my webtop was broken for months. I can't say that I've gone through all 65 pages of the thread again :angel: but what I do remember are some issues that came up with using the emerge --sync command for the first time, and that certain features may or may not work depending on when you emerge --sync for the first time and the exact command that you use. So:

Could some one post a quick run through of the list of things to do after installation, the proper order to do them in, and a 1 sentence description of what you're doing in that step? And if this list was already posted somewhere in the 65 pages, feel free to slap me in the face and point me to that page haha

Start with page 22 of this thread.

I just stumbled upon this thread looking for a way to install the webtop 2 system on a Xoom 2 ME (that thinks its a XYBoard 8.2) Running JB 4.1.2. Would this run on it instead?

Nope.

Hey guys,

can someone please post the correct output of ubuntu.sh? I am getting errors on some lines related to some files or folders not found, also the script fails on starting udevd. Just want to compare my output and see if I'm not missing anything. After the script executed, the mnt/gentoo is successfully mounted, but I'm failing on untaring the portage tarball. At some point an io error occurs and the untarring fails so only reformatting the partition hepls. Tested this with two different micro sd cards, both have a 60 GiB ext3-partition available.

[recurringintensity]

the original?

 

[manmadescience]

Yes, the output on first script execution would be the neatest thanks in advance!

I just nailed a bug in automake.m4f, automake is now working.

PORTAGE_BINHOST=http://sourceforge.net/projects/gentooandroid/files/packages/packages emerge --autounmask-write -GKav firefox

will bring vanilla firefox that is one year old. See picture https://a.fsdn.com/con/app/proj/gentooandroid/screenshots/firefox_evince_gnucash.png ... If your installation of gentooandroid is older than gentoo_armv6l_unrooted_locked_android_v5_v12_diff.tar.bz2, then you should apply this patch before doing above emerge command.

I fixed cmake. The command

PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" LINGUAS=fr USE="dvi2tty dvipdfm extra graphics png pstricks X detex tex4ht publishers" FEATURES=-sandbox PORTAGE_BINHOST=http://sourceforge.net/projects/gentooandroid/files/packages/packages emerge --autounmask-write -Gkv --binpkg-respect-use=y cmake make

And where i can find downloadable zip?
Can you give a working link or mirror?

WebTop is dead, GenTop2 is also dead. This is a feature that was a test by Moto. Test was good while it lasted, but has been replaced by tablet mode/mirror mode. Our KK builds have completely scrapped the webtop partition. The OP hasn't been seen online since 2012.

 

[mak_v_]

so which KK firmware you recommend for daily use as phone & lapdock?

So far none, to make a Tablet mode in KK Rom will be long story, they will manage mirror at best in the short therm.

If you need some kind of laptop mode, I'll recomend you AtrICS or ICSRom with latest Krystianp's kernel, it works out of box and very good.

AtrICS-v2.0_20140107 show me "doubled" display with artifacts without chances to work
CSROM-v7.0 show only mobile mirror of phone's display (and based on stock)
Do you know about working firmware with Atrix 4G Lapdock? Can you give link to download??

The latest 2012 version of AtrICS v2 is the one you should use if you are going to use it for a mirror mode.

Lapdock unknown to me due to the fact that I never bought it.

As Palmbeach stated, use 2012 AtrICS ROM with latest Krystianp's Kernel (June I think). I'm using right now ICSRom 1.4.6 (look at my signature) and I have Lapdock mode working good, only bug it is shrinks image no matter that options is activated or not. You should look at AtrICS thread in the ROM develpment section.

Best Regards

After flashing Krystianp's kernel Webtop works as v3.0 (not mirroring). But resolution have i lost pixels....
