Some says that Task Killers are not necessary in Froyo - Google developers included - others disagree, like you and me. Not an NITDroid problem, but a Froyo "feature", like I was saying before. Call audio and airplane mode are NITDroid known problems, yet to be resolved. And it will be resolved, be certain of it. 0.0.9 is coming up soon. The N900 heating problem exists because N900 run full processing all time. The "on demand" mode has yet to be implemented on NITDroid too. It´s not because the background programs. Great part of the Android native apps can be removed simply deleting the respective .apk from the root directory. I removed the Amazon MP3 app from my old CLIQ simply doing it. For "on-off" wi-fi, bluetooth, airplane mode, we had that...I can´t remember well, but I think the name is "Beautiful Widgets". |

Well, it turns the airplane AND call bug is from froyo, not nitdroid. A lot commercial droid tablet has it. Thanks for the info on Beautiful widgets. Widgets puts on/off on desktop, they are fine. I prefer power settings. However, in order to get to desktop one still requires to get out of whatever you are doing, then do your settings then get back in. What I ask is icons stays on the top border, like taskman, that can be used without having to exit your app. I want to know what feature is that and how to look for an app to have that for BT/wifi. Trying to get angry bird with absolutely no success. DL the lite.apk from 3 sources and all are the same file length, I guess the file is fine, just cant install. Anybody has luck with angry bird, lite or full? TIA, bun |

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression and 0.0.8 installation
That sounded like a tough one. Is your SD card alright? try to write something, see wether it is read only. If you are able to write, then see whether manually delete the file will work. I have NOT seen such error yets, from all the postings, you are the 1st :)

thanks for your work guys |
Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression and 0.0.8 installation
Hello, Has anybody heard about Taintdroid privacy monitoring?
It sounds like a feature that should not be missing in an Android version running on the N900 :) http://appanalysis.org/index.html Check out the demo movie of that wallpaper app being caught red handed :p I happened to notice that on the 13th the source code has been released for use by custom rom builders - it says Android 2.1 Nexus One compatibility but, who knows it can be implemented in Nitroid? |

From nitdroid forum: http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=495.0 and http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=141.0 Here's some more from the wiki (per this discussion http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=62826&page=2): - DO THIS FIRST: Step 1: Partitioning To be able to install the "sudo gainroot" command you need to install a package called rootsh from the application manager first! 1. Open up the xTerm and become root with this command: sudo gainroot 2. First un mount the microsd card umount /dev/mmcblk1p1 3. For this step you need to know the capacity of your memory card. The Android partition can only be 2GB, so you need to create a FAT partition that is so large there will only be 2GB left. The number must be in MB, example some recommended sizes are 1, 100, 2100, 6100, 14100, 30100. If its 8GB you can choose a number like 6100MB, if its 4GB you can choose a number like 2100MB. If your memory card is 2GB or below, you can choose 1MB as a number If you do not do this correctly you will not be able to use Android Market! sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF ,<YOUR NUMBER IN MB>,C ,,L ,, ,, EOF for a 8GB card: sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF ,6100,C ,,L ,, ,, EOF 4. Unmount microsd again as maemo sometimes tried to mount umount /dev/mmcblk1p1 5. The actual formating! mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk1p1 mke2fs -L NITDroid -j -m0 /dev/mmcblk1p2 - THEN USE THE AUTOINSTALLER |

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression and 0.0.8 installation
PR 1.3 noted
======================================= For the German Nitdroid adm, I have flashed whatever that was released this morning to 20.2010.36-2 from 19-1 this morning, not sure it is 1.3 or whatever, it wiped out your nitdroid installation and the multiboot menu. I went thru the installation instruction on this forum, it just went thru just fine, and now my nitdroid is up and running. One mistake I made, I did not backup my aps and desktop setting before. So, it took me close to 2 hours, still working to reset my desktop settings as well as all my favorite apps to reinstall. otherwise everything is the same, business as usual. I repeat, I flashed the maemo5 update that was caught this AM, and my about product is 36-2, dont know wether this is the same as PR 1.3 Nitdroid works just fine, so far, wifi works, audio works, no apparant changes/hiccup noted. Edit: Just check, it apparantly is the PR 1.3 ================================================== ========= I repeat: Make backup of yours apps and the desktop, then there will not be any fuzzy after upgrade, I am still working on my mistakes, re-install all my apps and seset my desktop, it easily took an hour :( bun |

Sadly, the auto-installer, NitDroid, and the wiki are not developed on the same schedule. There's a lot of info in the wiki and they seem to have a hard time getting to all of it. At first I was a little ticked, then I decided I'd rather dj_steve and e-yes and that other guy whose handle I can't remember spend their brain cycles working on NitDroid instead of working on the website. |
Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression and 0.0.8 installation AND PR 1.3 UPGRADE!
Since upgrading to PR.1.3, when I try to use the auto-installer it just hangs on "formatting mmcblk1p2 ext3". I've let it doing that for around half an hour, tried reformatting the card and doing it again, but still nothing?
Anyone else had this problem? Edit: Sorted it. I had to manually repartition my SD card, the auto-install then works fine. |
Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression and 0.0.8 installation AND PR 1.3 UPGRADE!
I'm curious as to what would happen if I tried to use the autoinstaller on the N800? I'm trying to do the N800 instructions from the wiki, and I'm having troubles with my linux seeing my N800 correctly (Getting "error claiming usb interface: Device or resource busy" and I guess it's not uncommon, but I've tried all the suggested fixes and it's still not working.) so I'm wondering....how bad could it be? lol

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression and 0.0.8 installation AND PR 1.3 UPGRADE!
Does anyone know if NITdroid is going to switch to the u-boot method instead of the flash wearing kernel reflash whenever a OS change is required?
Of course I'm hoping for that only after the release of the pending 0.0.9 :) It looks the N900 is going the u-boot way overall (PR1.3, Meego in genera), the multiboot solution was just a quick way to get the requirements fulfilled but now in PR1.3, there should be build-in support to do things in a better, more standard way. Thanks. |

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression and 0.0.8 installation AND PR 1.3 UPGRADE!
Is it possible to boot Maemo again once Nitdroid is installed? Like what happens after every reboot, is there just an option of which one you want to boot up?
