Root Help me figure out the webtop mod!

[tauket2]

Hey guys,

I recently rooted my Bell Atrix so that i could get rid of some of the useless apps and get rid of MotoBlur. What i am trying to do now is mod the phone so that i get access to the webtop interface when i plug in the hdmi cable to my tv. I found a procedure on how to do it by simply installing a line of code, but i have no clue where to start. Can someone guide me through this process?

I work at Bell Mobility and consider myself an intermediate level user but i am a complete noob at anything that has to do with programming. I impressed myself by successfully rooting my phone

anyways, here is the procedure i am trying to apply:
xda-developers - View Single Post - [MOD] Webtop Via HDMI Without a Dock - Added support for ATT 4.1.57 and CWM(Untested)

which method is easier? 1 or 2? and if i use method one, how do i "install using adb" ?

thanks!

Use method 1 as method 2 does not work. As for adb, adb is a command line program (you use it by typing commands into the windows command prompt, like dos). However since you can really mess up your phone and the bell Atrix does not have a sbf, I would start reading as much as possible about ADB before you attempt this mod as ADB is really the backbone of any/all android hacks and mods. If you have questions while looking into ADB, let me know.

what's does SFB stand for ?

What is an SFB used for?

SBF, AFAIK, stands for system binary file or system backup file. basically its a completely stock system image like the one you get when you first bought the phone. The image is different based on the carriers your choose (Boot up logo, bloatware, etc)

If you rooted your atrix with Gladroot, it includes adb, so you can just drop the 2 files, PortalApp.apk and DockService.apk into your c:\gladroot folder. You can then open a cmd window, cd to that dir, and follow method1 exactly as is entered in the code box.
