Atrix/Photon UbunTop v1.0.0

Webtop is great, as long as all you want to do is use Firefox and cloud computing. Beyond Firefox, WebTop, in it's current form, is mostly gimmick and PR. I also have nothing against chroot methods, but on the Photon you are running Linux, on top of Linux, on top of Android, a.k.a Linux. This isn't really for me so I sought to find a better solution.

After many hours of searching and testing I've been able to combine existing methods used on the Atrix and a couple changes I made myself to bring you Atrix/Photon UbunTop . This mod turns WebTop into more of a tool while eliminating the additional layer of Linux. Atrix/Photon UbunTop includes almost all of the basic features used by computer users on a daily basis. Here's a list of the main features of Atrix/Photon UbunTop:


Listed in the order of Linux Noob to Linux Pro (Yes, even I was a linux noob once.)

Webtop+: Stock look UI with enhanced dock!
Stock looks with hidden power inside!
Stock UI with PCMANFM Desktop

UbunTopLX: Pure LXDE!
Even faster and lighter still, with more control than Webtop+ with just a simple file swap!
LXDE Panel & Desktop

Easter Egg: Ubuntop Core (Openbox, just Openbox. Not for the timid!)

Development:
Bluefish (editor for websites, scripts and programming code)

Internet:
Firefox (I strongly suggest installing the adblock addons. I would have included them but doing so breaks the install)

Media:
gpicview
gimp
VLC

Office:
epdfviewer
OpenOffice (draw,presentation, spreadsheet, word)

Social:
Pidgin

System:
syanaptic

Download Links:
Atrix/Photon UbunTop/Webtop+: (in the downloads section)


Prerequisites:
Rooted
Unlocked
ClockworkMod Recovery (do not use bootstrap or safestrap)
Any UnLocked Blur ROM (Webtop does not work on CM7 or CM9)
webtop2sd is required for Atrix users because there is only 1.3MB free space otherwise (after resize2fs this is not an issue for the Photon)
7zip (I use a very particular 7zip setup to ultra compress files that winrar and similar can't extract)

Instructions: deviations from the instructions will cause things to not work
Download and extract the zip using 7zip and copy the contents to internal storage
Your directory structure should be /sdcard/UbunTop/!stuff!
Reboot into recovery
Perform a full backup just in case (to include /osh)
Flash Univ_Ubuntop_v1.0.0.zip via CWM
Reboot
Launch Webtop+
Reboot into recovery and flash menupatch.zip
Relaunch Webtop+ and enjoy!
* Everybody needs to read the "READ ME!!!" file. If Ubuntop doesn't work correctly and you have not followed the "READ ME!!!" then that's probably why
* If Firefox can't access the internet, reboot into recovery and wipe cache

• To install "prepackaged" applications follow the instructions in the "READ ME!!!" file in the UbunTop folder on your internal storage
• To switch back and forth between Webtop+ and Ubuntop- Follow the instructions in the "READ ME!!!" file in the UbunTop folder on your internal storage
• REQUIRED FOR ATRIX USERS- Install and run Sogarth's webtop2sd

Webtop+ Custom Dock recovery after flashing a ROM, hard reset or wiping /data:
Launch Webtop+
Reboot into recovery and flash menupatch.zip
Relaunch Webtop+ and enjoy!


Many Thanks to:
Sogarth (webtop2sd)
SystemR89 (Debian install)
arvati (WebTopScripts)
jokersax11 (the original update.zip script)

1. Flash 198_7 or 198_6 SBF then Root, unlock and install CWM Recovery.
2. Reboot into recovery, go to "mounts and storage" and format /cache and /osh then flash WebTop+ 1.2.zip
3. Reboot then install and run webtop2sd (suggest a 3GB partition at minimum)
4. Factory reset phone Menu/Settings/Privacy/Factory Data Reset DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP

Update

Latest release is now live! It took many hours of again digging through webtop. This time it was even worse as I had only 755MB to work with to fit it on the Atrix. For the Atrix, the good news is it fits, the bad news is it's broken unless webtop2sd is used as it has a whopping 1.3MB of free space otherwise.

I had planned for a fully universal release for all webtop enabled phones but we have unlocked bootloaders and many others do not. Sorry guys.

Updated OP. Sorry guys.
