on that note, I believe we are all aware of how much more advanced the droid 3 is than the droid x. speculating, I would assume it would be just as capable of supporting webtop as the bionic since they have pretty much the same hardware.
also, it appears as though people have successfully ported simpler editions of Linux into android environments onto various devices as seen here:
http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1SNNT_enUS429US429&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=ubuntu+g1
furthermore, someone has successfully paired a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse with an Atrix as seen here:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-atrix/65382-webtop-application-hdmi-cable-no-dock-3.html
so basically, my question is if we were able to replicate/modify a gingerbread-compatible version of realHDMI for video output, confirm the existence or integrate the ability to communicate with Bluetooth mice and keyboards, and for ease-of-use have them all activate under one circumstance ( like with Tasker or something), would it be practical to somehow use that linux environment in conjunction with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and hdmi output and have something close to webtop with the Droid 3?
**disclaimer:
I'm new. Please don't crucify me if I posted something that is false. I'll correct it if you let me know.
The main issue I believe with doing that is the droid 3 has 512 mb of ram. The bionic has that amout set aside just for webtop. I'm not sure its even possible, or realistically usable on our phone, although if it is that'd be really cool.

that's why I've tried piecing together this alternative. If I remember correctly, the linux distro ran completely off the sd card, but that may not be relevant to your comment.

why does that matter? the 1GB of storage is because the webtop app is part of the ROM. even an un-rooted D3 could store a user-created app somewhere else, like the SD card.
also, why bother with BT mouse and keyboard? use a USB host controller (simple cable, that attaches to the mini-USB) and you can attach wireless USB versions (cheaper, and more available).
oh. didn't know that existed. lol.
sounds pretty sweet!
is it confirmed to work with this phone?
Storage and ram are not the same.
Droid 3 has 512 meg of ram.
Droid Bionic has 1024 meg of ram.
Webtop uses a good chunk of that to function, if the Droid 3 could run it...what ram would we use to run our applications in now, since its mostly being used by Webtop?

How hard would it be to create a generic android laptop dock/webtop. Take something in the style of a laptop. The monitor is fed via microHDMI, the speakers could be fed either with HDMI audio or 3.5mm headphone jack. Keyboard and touchpad support are done via bluetooth or USB host if the phone supports it. The keyboard, touchpad, monitor and microUSB charging for the phone would all be powered by a battery and charger on the laptop style body.
Maybe this all isn't possible now. Perhaps when we get Android ICS we'll get better bluetooth support so that generic keyboard/mouse support is universal.
Running Debian squeeze with vncserver LXDE and connecting with androidVNC client here. Its not too bad atleast not as bad as my Touch Pro 2 was. Here is a script that can install it, forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1147358 though it has some problems installing on the Droid 3. So what I did was copy it over from the TP2. And here www.androidfanatic.com/community-forums.html? func=view&catid=9&id=1615 are instruction to get vnc setup. Not sure how well HDMI works and if it would work using vnc.
There are other ways to install Debian and also Ubuntu, theres a ubuntu.img floating around somewhere all set up, just dont know where.

from what i recall of realhdmi from my droid x, the output was a mirror, so whatever was displayed on the screen came up on the tv, but the x was also single core, which apparently makes a huge difference in output processing methodology.
is there any similar software for the new dual core architecture processors?
if there was a way to get a stable version of ubuntu as the desktop interface in "webtop" form, that would be amazing (mostly because i am familiar with it. lol)

The original Bionic had only 512mb of ram as well.
To OP:
I have been pushing for this for a while. There's NO reason that webtop can't be ported to the Droid 3. I want to see it done because webtop is the only feature I truly want that I don't have on my Droid 3.

Webtop does shut down and Android still controls process management; Webtop runs as a guest OS on the device and the Android VM provides APKs for interfacing with it (like sharing contacts, emails, etc between apps or mouse/keyboard input).
You're not going to be using webtop and your phone at the same time. When you're done with webtop, you'll shut it down and resume using your phone.
Are there any good write-ups on what exactly webtop is and how it works?
Is it just a second linux instance limited to a basic shell and web browser? If so could we look at compiling Puppy for arm to live in the reduced space?
Its an ARM flavor of pared-down Ubuntu running as a guest OS. I'm assuming it runs some type of proprietary VNC-type protocol that communicate with the Android VM.
Last I checked there were 3 or 4 Android services/activities associated with Webtop. One of them monitored the dock connectedness, one appeared to provide shared data access (like contacts, emails, notes, documents, etc), and I'm guessing one was responsible for the phone homescreen snapshots.
Bluetooth mouse, keyboard ok
Good news! I just paired my Rocketfish bluetooth keyboard and mouse (models RF-BTKB2 and RF-BTMSE2) with my Droid 3 and both work! Details follow:
The mouse cursor is black. Brings the phone out of suspend when moved as expected. Scrollwheel works. Right click functions as the "back key," center click is the menu. Traditional left click works like normal. Swiping things doesn't work (the screens get stuck in the animation *unless* you drag and release at the right time). All multimedia buttons (play, forward/back, stop) work.
Most keys on the keyboard work like normal. Exceptions:
F1: Menu
F3: Dialer
F4: locks phone
F5: Search
F2,F6-F12: don't do anything.
HOME: Desktop preview
Numlock: Doesn't activate
Number pad: Functions as arrow keys (as expected with Numlock not engaging).
Math keys (next to numpad): +-*/ do not function either
Arrow keys ok
CTRL: Menu
ALT: No function
Super/Windows key: Menu
Print screen, Scroll lock, and Pause/break keys appear to have no function.
My keyboard also has multimedia keys:
Volume up/down adjust system/ringer/music volume all work
Mail: Does nothing
Search: brings up search
Play/Pause/Forward/Backward/Mute all work in the (default) music application.
I bought the Rocketfish Bluetooth keyboard/mouse because they are extremely Linux compatible. Not sure if results will be the same with other devices.
If anyone wants to see the results of "adb logcat" when I press keys just ask and I'd be happy to post. The good news is it appears bluetooth keyboard/mice are reasonably well supported.
My Razer Orochi (bluetooth mouse) connects to my D3 just fine (as expected) and each button performs the same as the guy above me said his mouse did.
So now all we need to do is try the Droid bionic HD station dock when it's out to make this happen?
Tho i'm not interested in the webtop stuff, i'd like to use the usb ports and have a better dock then the current Droid 3s.
-smc
Tip - Ctrl-Alt-Del on the bluetooth keyboard restarts the phone
ok, so then:
keyboard/mouse = proven
webtop capability = plausible, with recompilation of some form of ubuntu
hdmi output = yet to be determined
dock sensing/emulation = plausible, probably going to be one of the easier tasks to accomplish
right?
If its a modified *Ubuntu img why not see if anyone is able to extract it from the phone, and view the root fs?
The D3 should have no issue with the ram, the eris can run Debian/Ubuntu and function fine. It stores everything minus the vnc on the SD card.
I'm moving over to the D3 soon myself, and would love to see a proper webtop, desktop system on this phone.

So I tried to port it using files from the bionic. Dd'd /dev/block/webtop to a secondary portion on my sdcard. Mounted at /osh, mounted /proc at /proc/osh and can't get anything to run. Copied the webtop apk's and odex's over as well. Need somebody more knowledgeable.
tallnerd1985 said:
It maybe possible but you would have mount the partition off the memory card due to the inability to partition off the internal NAND for /OSH which is where the Webtop files are stored. Join in on the irc channel in my signature later on today and I will see if I can get Sogarth from Atrix forums to join since he came up with the Webtop2sd app.

Hi folks, I spent a good part of my sunday (and friday night, let's be honest) to port UAE4All for Android. So here's UAE4Droid. Most games are working fine, don't expect killer framerates though (it should be faster on a Droid). I don't plan to actively support this app, so here's the catch:
-no sound
-physical controls only (that's why I post here, you can configure them btw)
-no save states (the original project does not implement them, and I'm no good at understand basics of the 68000 emulation)
-should be ok starting from Android 1.5 but I didn't test it (Dream on Cyanogen here).
You need to own a rom copy and some disks to use this legally, of course. If there's some good feedbacks, maybe I'll put it in the market (already done a couple of emulators there). Enjoy !
Edit 12/27 : Now with sound and touch controls on the Android Market
damn you did this in one day?
make it one and a half
It's a port, not that hard, once you got some Android knowledge, the basics of the SDK-NDK interaction, and the open source works from several people. And I left some parts (sound and touch controls), quite buggy/boring to code
Did you ever know that you were my hero? Seriously, great stuff! If you could add sound this would be the best thing I have on my phone!
Amazing. Superfrog works pretty well. If I could just insert all floppies at once it would be completely awesome.
If you're not planning on supporting this too much in the future would you consider making it open source?
It's completely fun to put android next to my old ami500, old 1200 and turn on superfrog on each
Oh wow...that's pretty impressive. Superfrog on my phone would be awesome! I'll have to try it.
Ok, hate to leave work unfinished so I added the sound and touch controls. Watch the Market, it should appear there soon.
btw to enable the sound on a HTC Dream makes the emulator a little more sluggish, well now at least you'll have the choice (or buy a 2nd gen Android device )
Not working properly. App asks me to force close when I'm pressing MENU button... Previous build (from first post) works properly. Can I please to fix this bug?
After all, great job
Damn, I didn't make that much changes, could you get me a log trace ?
Hmm It's weird... After a couple of restarts of phone, the app is working correctly... I will leave a post (and logcat) when this problem come back.
Sadly doesn't Install on Eclair.
adb install gives Error Message "INSTALL_FAILED_CPU_ABI_INCOMPATIBLE"

looks like a modded ROM issue to me (this emulator is compiled for ARM, no doubt about it). Try the one from the market
Wow this works really well, playing Superfrog on it now Any plans to add save states to this?
I wonder how much better performance is on the droid. Superfrog plays perfectly on my G1 with frame skip disabled and sound off, having it on made it more jerky.
Also would it possible to have the escape key mapped to something, like the shutter button or as a menu item, i'm sure some games needed it to get into the menu.
Thanks for porting this!!
5 stars from me
works great, played with it a little. kickstarted 3.0 ROM, loaded game with no problems - but Hero's hardware isn't up to it. Maybe on my next android, with faster CPU and proper keyboard...
Only problem I have had is it doesn't seem to like some of my Kickstart rom files, it works fine with one of the 1.3 roms I had with WinUAE, but says Invalid for most of the others including 3.1, all of which work in WinUAE, any ideas?
what's the exact size of the non working roms ?
Non working rom size is as follows:
3.1 - 524,299 bytes
Just thinking could it be because it is a rom from Amiga Forever from Cloanto, do they use a keyfile for the rom?
No, because I thought every roms was 524288 bytes long. Will update the market version tonight
Blazing fast on a Droid/Milestone! Thanks a lot. Just the Mouse-Control is still a little buggy. For Disk-Activity you could use the green/red led! =)
how keyboard is emulated
Hi,
I have successfully set-up UAE4Droid, tried my favorite game, but it(Pinball Fantasies) needs alt or shift to control the game. I could not figure out how to play the game because of this. (Pressing alt or shift on the G1 does not work. )
Anybody know how to use these keys?
Thanks

What is the advantage of using android 3.0 have over 2.2. and 2.3?
Install all three and really see no difference beside the slight UI changes.
evilPERSOn,
I had not yet loaded HC, so my advice is pure speculation. HC has an entirely different interface which acknowledges the fact that a tablet is in essence a tablet and not an oversized phone. So, as such, it works a bit more like a computer with. The speed and streamlined interface of a tablet. As I write this I really wonder why I have not cobbled it up. Well, it is only a matter of time.
Have fun

well for starters this should be in general not development
second HC isnt just a slight UI change, it was MADE for tablets so if you want your tablet to be a giant itouch running android than install 2.2/2.3 but if you want a tablet you should install 3.0
^My bad. I had two tabs open. General and Development. Must have started thread on the wrong location.
1. HC uses GPU interface rendering.
2. HC is meant for a system like a nook with few buttons (good for us)
3.But HC's source is not in the open (bad for us).

For me i thought i would try hc on the sd card and just go back to froyo. I was hooked. I used it for two days on a class 2 card then i flashed, and ive tried to go back to froyo and get flash but i cant. The UI is just perfect, the live app switcher key is wonderful and so great to use, probably my favorite feature. Not to mention i love that the task bar is on the bottom, reminds me of windows and keeps the clock and keys out of my face. Honestly i hate the top notification bar on other versions, ive always hidden it on my droid. Being on the bottom is so nice and out of the way.
Its got its downsides, but give it 2 months.. apps galore, source files..... it will be really good to run.
Edit: not to mention, ive never lost data like on my droid while switching apps. Ive come back to apps ive had open for over 24hrs and its still in the same state

i'm using the samuelhaff's eMMC HC and i noticed that i can't scroll the app switcher, so i don't have access to all my previously run apps. is this normal?
loving HC, so far. the fact that it's designed for no hard buttons is just awesome.
i don't think the app switcher even scrolls on the xoom yet.
I have only played with HC breifly. But from what i know about it these are the following reasons to use it.
1. Market. Honeycomb is the first android os that will support having the google market. This provides a few things. Any of us who have played with Ipods and ipads will know that there are specific apps built for ipad. Now that Android 3.0 is built for tablet form factor, and officially supports the market. We will now see Tablet applicatons that provide higher resolutions, or new features. These apps will be built around the 3.0 os, and may not work on older operating systems.
2. Built for tablets. Everything we have had up untill this has been a phone operating systme built for a 3" screen ported to something with a 7-10" screen. The os is clearly built for phones there are things in there that just dont work right, or should not be there, but are there, on a fundimental level in the operating system. By adding native support for larger screens, and removing the phone items, it provides for a cleaner higher performance interface.
3. Interface enhancements. The UI has been built to support the larger form factor. This will provide easier navigation as well as soft keys as mentioned above, since alot of tablets are just missing physical buttons.
Unfortunatly the OS has not been released to the public. My guess is there is some contract between motorola (xoom) and google for exclusivity on their tablet. but dont quote me on that.
1) The web browser is much improved - even over Dolphin
2) The email client is much improved - even over K9
3) Contacts sync seamlessly with Google contacts
4) The keyboard is much improved - has a TAB key, has a "handle" to move the cursor around in text, has cut and paste features.
All of this is enough to make me swich to HC.
Downsides:
1) Many of my favorite apps cannot be found or downloaded from the Market - even though they worked fine on 2.1.
2) From uSD card, runs a little slower than 2.1, but not enough to bother me.
is the video accelerated? I could not take cm7..so slow.

No. Same problem effects both I think.
Well, I switched and got my nook to recognize the sd (Class 2) partition. I expanded the image to use the 16 gigs too. I love it. The Live App switching is nice. It actually feels more like true Linux (I am thinking KDE) than any other droid system. I just can't handle the lag when booting apps (probably a combination preview/sd card). I am a teacher and grade on my Nook, so I need speed. But, I am excited about this. Thanks a lot Deeper Blue. This will be stellar.
The true app switching is almost priceless as is the efortless interface.

I have an actual WP8 device that I've backed up to skydrive (contacts and sms). I would like to be able to pull that down into the WP8 emulator which I have installed and running fine.
Am I correct in that you can only restore a WP8 from skydrive backup on the first cold boot after a reset?
When I try to reset the emulated phone via the Settings/About page, the emulated phone shuts down and restarts, but hangs when it restarts.
1. Is there a way to get the emulated phone to restore from skydrive without doing a full reset?
2. Is there a way to make the emulated phone do a full reset and bring up the initial first boot screens so I get the restore options?
Thank you.
The Emulator does not support setting a Microsoft-Account which also means that SkyDrive access, Backups or Marketplace Downloads don't work.
Well.. That's unfortunate.
No way to mount the flash and hack on a xml/etc file? Also, I was mistaken about the emulated phone hanging on restart after the reset. It does come back up after about 5 minutes. and I very briefly see some text on the screen right before the windows start screen, but it flashes by so quick I can't make it out. It looks like it may be the initial welcome information, and the emulator is automagically bypassing it?
The emulator can't do anything other than eating away at your resources and fool new developers into buying new hardware to support hyper V. The only useful thing you can do with them is check how the layout looks under different resolutions.
When you re/start it, you need to have the entire OS image do a complete OS boot. It takes so long because it is emulated (obviously, on a phone is a lot faster). It also uses different architectures (x86 compared to ARM on actual devices)
As I said, you can't do anything useful with it other than basic stuff like UI interaction and UI display.
Ehh I dunno about new hardware. Runs just fine on my i7 windows 7 gaming machine in a win8 vm in vmware
But yeah, completely ridiculous that it needs hyper-v and win8.
Hmm probably worthy of a different post, but do you know of a way to pull backed up sms from skydrive onto a PC?
As Long as you don't work with the Camera of NFC the Emulator actually works quite well. You can also simulate bad Network connectivity and so on which you can't do properly on the phone. The UI sometimes seems rather slow in the Emulator but actually it does outperform the phone quite a lot with CPU bound code (at least on my Core i7). Having Multitouch Support implemented in the Emulator is also a nice Addition.
I don't know of any way to Access the SkyDrive backup from anywhere but an actual device.

1) USB joypads work but I don't know about that one in particular but certainly my logitech, xbox and I hear PS3 controllers work.
2) The lower the res the more blurry i becomes..... Typically you scale the dpi to match the res so that things don't become too small. It's hard to explain without demonstrating it but it's a bit like changing the res on a PC to higher or lower and then adjusting the font sizes to compensate if needed.
3) Most common USB Peripherals work so hard drive, usb stick, mouse and keyboard definitely. 3G USB Modem - use a MiFi instead as I don't think the kernel contains the native drivers for those.
4) No idea but theoretically it should support one
5) What is it?
6) Don't know - not in the US
7) Don't know - do know they are expensive - 2x 64GB much cheaper?
8) If you buy it in the US it will be US layout
9) Yes - 30+ languages supported

3) Don't you mean WiFi?
4) Does the dock supports MicroSD/SD adapter like the ones Kingston and SanDisk sells, so i can use two 2x64 MicroSD cards?
5) GLtools is an GPU driver similar to the Discontinued Chainfire3D. But for Newest versions like Jelly Bean and KitKat.
8) Right. Some kind of app to modify the keyboard layout?
9) Supports Brazilian Portuguese or European Portuguese? (Not obligatory to me. I learned english by myself)
10) Your rom looks awesome!!! Is it optimized for newer games? I'd like to play GTA SA, Construction Simulator 2014 and GT Racing 2 on medium settings.

5) Never heard of it - not sure why you would need it on this device
8) Yes there are apps to modify the keyboard language layout
9) No idea

There are more questions i want to ask.
*Does the rooted device suports foldermount or something similar that allows App data/obb on SD?
*I have heard the device's native resolution is bad for gaming. Is it true?
*Does it support printhand with usb printers?
*Any plans for KitKat on this device?
*How long the battery last in games,With and without the dock?

1. Not without kernel edits - so currently no
2. Res is fine but with custom rom or root you can decrease the res if you *need* to
3. I can print using wifi print apps
4. kitkat is out with custom roms and cm11 base
5. 5 to 6 hours if you are using it heavy - maybe 9 to 10 with the dock
6. no idea but should work

Has anyone successfully gotten Ubuntu running on this bad boy? Being a amateur programmer, I would love to see this happen ?

Unfortunately not. Tegra 4 has so much power but too little development. I tried to port linux but I don't have enough knowledge to do that. Also my tablet's UART (that very important to development) killed by f****** Chinese UART-USB adapter.

Hmm, after writing answer I got an idea.
I have another usb-uart converter, and why don't use it instead of internal serial port. I recompiled the kernel with usb serial console support and get it! Now I have debug connection, and even more! I've run simple Linux on it!
Now, more detail. Kernel build by default CM tree. Some features were added to kernel (just usb console support and virtual console and devtmpfs support). I don't use any initrd. Rootfs based on minimal ubuntu and it works! Pretty unstable and only in text mode via serial console, but works. Now I am trying to start system with graphical support. But I don't know what I should do. I tried out anything through framebuffer, but it didn't work, nevertheless command cat /dev/urandom > /dev/fb0 works and fill screen by color noise. Also I tried load X server, but it don't work too. I think I need some drivers, or maybe firmware from android's /etc/firmware but I'm not sure. I think if anyone helped me this tablet would get a full Linux!
If anyone has interest, kernel in attachment and rootfs (compressed by squashfs) here https://mega.co.nz/#!HlwxXC6L!NkCc6vLrApfNeGfMf7ZjaHqsmzzN_DODeehoyEReImM
A little better. Today I had try to see any screen output. I enabled framebuffer console in kernel and while booting I have seen a penguin in few seconds but nothing more. Then, when linux booted I tried to start X server. And it works, i think. I mean there are no error in serial console, so I'm sure X server works, but there is no screen output because something interrupt the output. I don't have ideas.
