Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY UPDATE] Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

There seems to be no file /home/system/etc/power.conf There are some files oc-profile-....conf , but dont know if you can just copy one of them to power.conf

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY UPDATE] Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

Hmm. I think there's something wrong with the default 0.0.9 installer. I had content in /and before installing 0.0.9 (I had previously uninstalled 0.0.8) but once I rebooted the device to Maemo and rechecked the /and there was nothing. I had to do mkdir for required folders but over/underclocking withtou power.conf is going to be quite tricky, unless I get my hands on at the stock one.

And from quick testing : yes, eMMC is definitely faster than MMC, USB-mode works fine (may have a bit of lag though so be patient), camera doesn't work and yes, you still must've disabled PIN-code asking from Maemo in order to use 2G/3G, otherwise you're stuck on Airplane mode. Also, vibration works just fine.

And as for me, I'm unable to close the device from Android. I get the "Optifying Maemo"/etc and it's stuck (as far as I can tell) on there. Have to force the device to shutdown, heh. No biggy though, I'm willing to reflash and this is WIP-port of Android so.

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY UPDATE] Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY UPDATE] Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

Please someone can post bootargs string from a working Nitdroid.

It's easy to retrieve, you need a terminal (that can be downloaded from Market) in which you will type cat /proc/cmdline

I'm trying to boot without multiboot (using kexec or u-boot) but I need the correct commandline to supply it (modified) to loaded kernel

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY UPDATE] Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

So which ones are maemo files and which ones are Android files? Is there a list some place of what to remove? How do we tell which are which?

Edit - from wiki

I'm assuming that the above is the files/dir's in question? Are there any others besides the above or is it just them?

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY UPDATE] Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

I installed 0.0.9 to eMMC and tried to enable Market. I rebooted like 15 times or so, but it didn't help. So, I tried to reinstall Nitdroid (once again to eMMC). However, even though I downloaded the image 5 times and reformatted Nitdroid partition every time, it always reports that the image is corrupted. I download from downloads.nitdroid.com, i.e. the official site. Do I do some mistake here or the image is wrong (size is the same as on the server)?

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY UPDATE] Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

Got this weird problem here... I did everything till step 9, but when it came to editing the 11(tab) file, it turned out I dont have such a file in that directory. I went there, using filebox and noticed only one .item file, being the 00-Maemo-2.6.28-omap1.item . I tried creating another 11.item file with leafpad and wrote "ITEM_DEVICE=${INT_CARD}p2" without the quotation marks in it and rebooted. Now when Im on the OS selection screen, I only got Maemo as the first option and blank second one. Needless to say, its not booting the second OS. What might be causing this problem. Did I miss something during the installation process? It's the first time I'm installing NITDroid, did not have previous versions installed. Cheers :)

P.S. I forgot to mention, that I dont have a memory stick. Tried to install it on the EMMC.

Noticed the "M" and "D" in caps ?

Try it again hope it helps :D , incase you want to browse through your root you can have Filebox installed

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY UPDATE] Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

The SD card shouldn't matter if your installing it within your phones internal memory that is the eMMC

Nokia-N900:/home/user/MyDocs# (from i here i put the NITDroid file 0.0.9) which gives me error of cant open input file what iam doing wrong??

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY UPDATE] Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

hi guys, help please..

my n900 is overclocked to power kernel 42.
I followed ammyt's instructions carefully and installed nitdroid installer succesfully
multiboot appeared with two OSs

once i selected nitdroid, the bootscreen with all the scrolling text appeared but then on the bottom the below text came out:

"ANDROID sh: can't acess tty; job turned control off
16.815826 Kernel panic - noot syncing: Attempted to kill init!"

then the screen just stays at that.. it does not start nitdroid. I remove the battery and can still boot maemo. what seems to be the problem?

PS: when i booted back to meamo, my OC is not loading up. i use QBW for auto OC on startup but it says that the kernel is not supported. did nitdroid replace kernel 42?

thanks! happy new year!

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY UPDATE] Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

Skip this step and set up a google account after you've finished with the tutorial. because since you booted right after it said installation successful you are using 0.0.8 which has this bug.

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY UPDATE] Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

triple check the spelling and remember its case sensitive.

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY UPDATE] Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

You need to install the multiboot packages for power-kernel and reinstall one package. Its written down here somewhere http://wiki.maemo.org/Nitdroid_easy_install_on_EMMC or here http://wiki.maemo.org/Kernel_Power

Cant reach it at the moment. But should be something like

apt-get install multiboot-kernel-power
apt-get install --reinstall ...DONT_KNOW_WHICH_ONE_IT_WAS
