Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I havent fiddled a lot with bootloaders, but you would have to install a bootloader and have an entry that points to the vmlinuz on the sd card.

A bootloader you can at least find in quole's repository, and most if not all load straight into maemo if your keyboard is not out, and if you have your keyboard out you can select between the OS's you have made bootloader entries for.

The reason I have not fiddled with bootloaders is that on computers they usually just configure them self, but this will not be the case in this scenario.

EDIT:
To answer your question more correctly, but im not entirely sure, it would be something like root = "/sd2/boot/vmlinuz" or something like that...

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Did you look at the patch file I posted before for the touchscreen patches? look for tsc2005.ko in the patch file for the changes.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic

Allo!

The wifi works, its pretty cool though a bit slow.. :)

I hope you'll continue to work on it for N810 as it really needs a new and usable distro ;)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

hmm ill have a better read of that later, though i have applied that patch

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

i don't really understand all this kernel stuff and all but this all looks interesting. From what I gathered android is booted uo from microSD right?
Is it possible that it can be booted from the internal storage/harddrive/emmc/whatever-i-really-don't-know? Would it be faster to load than from microSD? Just curious and keep up the awesome work

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Theoretically, yes it could be faster. But the change would be really little, and you might just see some difference in the boot or something that would take a lot of time anyway.

Point being, there is no point in installing it on the internal storage rather than SD card for speed.

Hi,

just tried to install nitdroid on my n800!
The links of the newest nitdroid version (Post 1) doesn't work - they break up after a few MBytes! So I installed the second newest Version: 0.5)

I got everything like in the how-to - but when I try to boot I get a error like: cannot execve ... mediaserver ... Permission denied (thats what I remember).
Any ideas?


EDIT:
I tried my other SD-Card and it worked just fine! (Isn't really fast at all, but the error didn't came up!)
This time I unchecked "become owner" when I created the partitions with Ubuntu 10.04 (system -> drive manager or something similar - I don't know the exact name, because I'm running a german version)! Maybe a "chown" had shown the same effect!
