Basically this allows you to run homebrew on PS3. It has been released for other Android devices and even a release is coming for a TI calculator. I was seeing if any of the great devs here could get this to work on the HTC vogue? Here is some more info http://kakaroto.homelinux.net/tag/psfreedom/
Also, this is how it works on Nexus One if it might help someone port it
http://dukio.com/tutorials/psgroove-htc-google-nexus.html
I too would love for someone to look into this. I'll help any way I can!
i would also love this
please someone atleast look into it

Besides, now that the system is actually broken into, I'm sure new methods and work-arounds will be found.

this guy has the right idea, i mean modern warfare 2's single player is totally worth ignoring the multiplayer for.
and resident evil 5's AI is way better than playing with a friend
sarcasm generously implied.
So any thoughts if this can be done? I haven't seen any of the devs say anything, but of course they might not have ps3 units.

the new firmware fixes the exploit used to make the mod work, so the answer is when you update the firmware it will undo the mod

Just tried it and it didn't work... not surprising considering its for a totally different piece of hardware
Now that HD2 code is out, couldn't someone port it to Vogue? seems like it wouldn't be that hard
PSFreedom has also been ported to the Droid Compiled against 2.6.32 kernel
i dont know how easy it would be but im assuming with more and more droid devices being ported to someone will make a vogue port hopefully
you do not need 3.42 to continue playing online. There are several proxy servers you can run on your windows machine that will let your ps3 continue to work online reporting to psn that you have 3.42 even tho your only on 3.41.
This only works because the only thing 3.42 did was fix psfreedom so there is no real reason to have it.
I was reading up on this a little bit. From what I see for other phones, it seems like you need to flash your rom to PSGROOVE everytime you want to use it to play a game? Is that right?
If so, can the phone still work as a phone in the meantime?
i think as long as the kernel makes the usb device look like a hub then the rest is scripts i could be wrong though
if thats the case it would only need 1 flash, but i believe i read somewhere you loose usb mass storage capability something like that
some phones i think do have a rom dedicated for just PSFREEDOM
eitherway i would still use it and run a seperate copy of android from the SD when i wanted to play the ps3
the ones i've been looking at they arn't flashing, they are temporarily booting from a new image (using adb) that has insmod enabled and working so they can load the usb module and change the usb port on the phone to register as a hub instead. I havn't tried it myself yet but I do know we have insmod already enabled... or at least the command is there so we might not need that step.
Sony seems to be right ontop of everything tho, closing down things as they are discovered.
For those of you who are mad the Droid 3 doesn't have Webtop, Canonical is making a competitor and I imagine the Droid 3 will be able to run it. It meets the specs, not sure about USB host but everything else. I imagine you could use bluetooth for keyboard/mouse as well. I wonder if it will be possible to get something like this working on the Droid 3.
-Dual-core 1GHz CPU
-Video acceleration: shared kernel driver with associated X driver; Open GL, ES/EGL
-Storage: 2GB for OS disk image
-HDMI: video out with secondary frame buffer device
-USB host mode
-512 MB RAM

There is a video out:

First thing I noticed is the demo is running on a blur'd Atrix 2 which means no custom kernel or ROM is needed.
At this point it looks like there is a pretty good chance the Droid 3, Bionic, Razr, etc will be able to run this.

Silber said Ubuntu for Android would be released under an open source license, but that Canonical expects it to mostly be pre-installed on specific hardware.
"We'll want to optimise for certain hardware profiles and chips," she said. "It simply wouldn't be the same experience on a downloaded install."

Source: http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/373024/canonical-puts-ubuntu-on-android-smartphones
So it will be open source and not OEM only. I was thinking it would be open source since its Ubuntu but you can never be sure.
As far as optimizing it for hardware, hopefully the fact that the phone they demoed it on has the same exact OMAP/PowerVR SoC that is on the Droid 3 means the source will be most optimized for that hardware. In the demo it looked like a nearly finished project.

It was a private video (only those with link can view). It had several phone #s not blurred out in the video so chances are it was meant to be shared internally only.
I found a new link to the video:

I'm hoping it would be possible to get it working with just HDMI output and no dock. I don't know if the Droid 3 supports USB OTG host mode, but it does allow bluetooth keyboards and mice simultaneously so hopefully that would be an option.
The Droid 3 works with the lapdock/webtop hardware wise according to this youtube video below.

They also said it would come preinstalled on some phones, because it needs some optimization to run smoothly. Read that on The Verge
Still, pretty cool thing! Hope someone port that to the D3 (and consequently the M3 too =P)

I'm hoping that they release the source which has already been optimized for the demo phone, the Atrix 2 since it has the same OMAP4430 that the Droid 3 and a lot of other devices have.

He made it sound somewhat like Android source is, it will be available but the average user can't just install it on a device and expect it to work. Hopefully the devs here can make it work. The biggest limitation for us is going to be only 512MB of RAM, besides for that the demo phone has the same hardware as the Droid 3. It may not be a multitasking device, but I imagine things could be done on the Linux side to cut memory usage, possibly even switching to a lighter Ubuntu forked distro. It would still be useful as is for simple web browsing, a real office suite (LibreOffice), a real media player (VLC), etc.
I thought it had it and that it was compatible with the 100 dock? The specs listed up top on xda say otherwise...

It's only HDMI mirror because Webtop OS is not installed.
You'd need to find a motorola stock rom, mount it and use a file browser to extract The Webtop.apk
Simply installing the APK wouldnt work either because Webtop requires it's own partition on internal storage. Webtop OS is another operating system running ON TOP of Android. I dont see it working for our phone. This idea WORKS in theory, but I dont see anyone with a non motorola phone using a webtop mod. So its probably slim chance we'll see a working Webtop on the Atrix HD
Can anyone get me the apk's for webtop on another motorola device running ICS?
I'd be willing to try my hand at taking the apk apart and all that fun stuff.
They probably didnt add the webtop because they decided to downgrade to 8GB of storage, like there is much of a price difference between 8 and 16GB of flash memory these days...

Exactly, plus the whole webtop OS didnt sell as well as they'd hope under AT&T and the idea is dying off with Verizon.
@kulow:
Having the webtop APK is useless. It contains nothing about the OS. It's only a bridge to start it up when your plugged in.
WebOS sits on internal storage and a separate Operating System. It needs to be extracted and configured just like an Operating system.
Having the APK will just launch an App that will search for a non-existent Partition.
If you want it, go get an Image of a stock rom, mount it and use a file explorer to find the *.*apk
With only 8gb on our phone I could see Webtop taking up to 4gb since it needs its own partition. It's also very RAM hungry.
There is no use in trying to even fathom working on webtop when we have the issue of no Root and the Locked Bootloader.

Well I've been doing some digging around on the Droid Razr forums and noticed that Webtop 3.0 for ICS was less webtop and more of a tablet view. Right now when you dock it does a mirror of your screen. I know this is probably way beyond my knowledge but the possibility of digging in to the structure and code of some of the apks involved with webtop 3.0 would lead us to a more tablet optimized view when connected to a lapdock.
Another thought was, when root/bootloader unlock happens, was to manually create the ext3 osh partition called by webtop and place the required files found in the osh partition from a similar device like the Razr.
I'm a novice at this so right now it's all baseless ideas that may prove to be impossible to do, but what is impossible for some may be possible for others.

If we could make a browser just for the resolution of mirrored mode, all you would need is a BT Keyboard&Mouse.
That would use way less resources on the device, and it would defeat the purpose of WebTop OS being installed and wasting all that space.

Technically yes and no.
Yes, because its a linux shell running off a partition under Android.
No, because it still requires Android to run.
The lapdocks seem to be as popular as chrome books.
I see Webtop being phased out on future devices.
As good as the webtop idea was, people still want all the gadgets and will still buy a tablet, netbook/laptop, and a phone, so the Lapdock is pretty obsolete.
It's slower than a netbook, and has less features than a tablet. $150 for the lapdock just for a full screen browser seems out of the question.
It becomes more useful with the Ubuntu mod, but it still has functionality issues.
It's annoying that it's gone now, but in all honesty it wasnt that useful. If you bring a lapdock, you might as well bring a netbook and tether it.
Both are Tegra2 devices
Both are using the same Wifi chips
Both are GSM/HSPA devices
Plan of action:
Get Xoom kernel for 2.6.32 (same level as the kernel we've got for Atrix)
Diff the two for platform specific changes
Get Xoom kernel for 4.1.2 release (http://www.xda-developers.com/android/motorola-xoom-gets-stock-rooted-android-4-1-2/)
Put in platform specific changes learned from diff
Then you should have a binary compatible Atrix-fied Xoom kernel, running on the Atrix. Which enables you to
Use Xoom hardware acceleration
Have a propper Project Butter experience
Have a kernel that doesn't run on the compatibility mode of bionic libraries
A more modern and mature Linux kernel (and libs)

Ok - some history:
I've worked at a mining communications/safety company Becker Mining Systems, for their R&D firm Becker R&D in South Africa.
We've developed an Android VOIP phone for to be used in mining (hazardous, please-don't-make-a-spark) environments. We've succeded, but then Germany practically canned their colleries (hug-a-tree-don't-kill-johnny-polar-bear) - resulting us to stop development 2 months before manufacturing (literally only had to make the moulds). Sigh - the collery overseers DSK was the contracting client.
My job was to get Android running on this Freescale iMX31 based platform. I did the kernel + Wifi + Android + VOIP and a bit of the UI.
Plan of action:
/arch/arm/ is the first point to go looking for things in the kernel. In this case, we'll be looking for /arch/arm/mach-tegra/, this is where all the platform specifics will hide away.
Compare board-olympus.c and board-stingray.c (+ board-olympus.h and board-stingray.h). Look for similarities, look for differences. These are the glue points - in this .c files the startup / fixup / powerup of the platform starts off. See it as the void main(void) file for the platforms.
Adapt the board-stingray.c in such a way that it starts up on the Atrix
After kernel start up, get the peripherals running. This includes UARTS (USB the most common, and debug), SPI (chats to other peripherals), MMC (chats to the WiFi/BT module) and also the screen.
Merge in libraries - we'll probably using the Atrix radio driver file, but the rest (Wifi, OpenGL libs) from the Xoom
If all of this doesn't make sense to you, please press the thank you button and refrain from commenting on this feed
Hmmm... yeah you are the right person for this job :laugh::good: :highfive:
I wish you to succeed, you would make lot of people to be really happy !
If you need testers, i'll be right there.
Jokersax already said its possible, in fact, he was using some Xoom binaries that he ported, but he also said that it required a MASSIVE amount of coding, time and skills to get it done.
Hope you can accomplish this dude! Good luck!

yeah well those didn't really make a difference... and we have the libs, only need a supporting kernel.

Indeed, he showed that it was possible.
It might help when nVidia goes opensource with the Tegra drivers, but so far I haven't seen enough details on that to be encouraged yet. I suspect that what we'll see will be either code dropped into nouveau or a separate driver set rather than nVidia opening up their proprietary drivers.
mvniekerk, please join Atrix Re-Birth Project.
We already have libs for Atrix, two leaked rom, closed kernel, useful CM 10 (I'm using it right now), great developers (Epinter, MMontuori, TPoint75...)
With your knowledge and enthusiasm we could go even further and faster.
This can be tested, it's very simple, dd the xoom boot partition to a file, then flash out back to the Atrix. If it passes the boot logo, there is hope...

mvniekerk: If you're serious about this undertaking, I'm sure there would be quite a few willing to donate, including myself.
In fact, I suggested something similar, but using the Galaxy R kernel as base ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32274673, last post on that page). That is a 3.x kernel.

Ok guys, maybe this question has been asked and maybe it has not. I'm typing this on the fly via mobile of course and don't have the time to scour through related forum threads which may or may not be able to help me out.
That said, I have several adapters that I use for packet injection. I have one which has an SMA port for antennas and I bought a 16dBi high gain antenna to use with another project and I am also using with this adapter.
Anyway, I woukd like to be able to use this adapter with its extended range while I'm wardriving.
I have microUSB to Female USB cables for my phone. But connecting a device does little other than power it on.
I need a script that disables the on board WiFi and installs a driver for the secondary adapter and then enables it. Or perhaps there is an app out there that makes this easier.
Anyone have any suggestions or solutions to this dilemma I'm facing?
Thanks in Advance!

Ok, I have not tried this yet but if it works in anyway similar to how it would on a laptop then I should succeed. Using either "Linux Deploy" or Complete Linux Installer" I can install various Linux distros on my phone virtually. Even custom images can be used. But by stock you can install Ubuntu, Debian, (not sure why they offer both), Backtrack, Kali (again, unsure why they offer both) and several other Linux distros.
If I install Backtrack, which I know supports the adapter I want to use when running from live cd or live usb from a laptop (or even Kali Linux) then it should also work on my device. It's all about the drivers and disabling the devices built in WiFi adapter....
I have to take my phone back to stock due to some issues which have recently occurred. I will S-Off first probably, then return to Stock, re-root and after I recover my contacts, programs, etc, etc, I will attempt to install a virtual image of either BT5 or Kali and see what happens.
Again, I will keep updated this thread. If it works then everyone with an M7 from Sprint will be able to utilize this method.

I think the problem with the Pwnpad source code is that, it's written for Nexus 7

Hmmm, interesting... I actually have a Nexus 7 - 32GB 1st gen, it's a nice, smooth tablet but doesn't hold a candle many other devices out there. If I had my choice of device to turn in to a "hacking" tab, uh, Phablet... I would choose the Galaxy Note 3.
Check out the arena....

But, aside from that... You would think that you would only be limited to any devices hardware capabilities... Technically, we could probably take an old Toshiba or Acer Iconia tablet, install and/or run either BT5 or Kali virtually on top of whatever version of Android the device is running and have near the same capabilities that you would with a laptop.
If/when I figure out a way to use my Alpha AWUS036NH on any of the devices I own I'll be able to wardrive and pick up networks from nearly and 1/8th - 1/4 of a mile away. No exaggeration. Utilizing a 16dBi omni directional antenna instead of the measly 5 dBi that's included make an enormous difference.
But, rather or not it will work so easily running BT5 or Kali virtually over JellyBean or ICS compared to the ease of a live/virtual/physical installation of either OS on a laptop or PC will only be known once it has been tried. I wish I had more free time to do what I truly love to do with technology instead of the repetitive and thankless administration tasks I perform at work... The grass is always greener though... Lol!
One of these weekends I'll get something going, and I'll post it and hopeflly save peeps that $899. The only thing they will have to pay for will be the adapter(s) they choose to utilize and the tablet, phablet, or even phone that they want to use The rest will be open source and included with (hopefully) current and future releases of Kali Linux now that BT5 is suddenly and abruptly "dead". Did that catch anyone else by surprise or just me? Lol!
