Can you post the updated patch on your website? Also, the link to the userspace patch is broken.

Thanks

Both patches plus config for kernel regenerated to match latest release and link fixed.

You don't need to, Android automatically will kill programs when needed.

from shell, from browser crashes&reboots
Any other means?

Found a solution myself:
sudo ./adb push xxx.apk /data/app

I have the same problem, I tried making the partitions bigger, but no luck, I think it must be something about permissions as the error says that the temporary file can't be created (today I found out that they are store in /data/local/tmp

Thanks for the trick, it worked for me :D

(Running latest release with Home button supported and so, thanks again Solca)

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

Hey guys,

I'm having a ton of fun tracking the progress of the project on this forum and had a quick question. I think I read on another thread or forum that NITdroid would not be able to include the Google Apps (Mail, Cal, Contact, etc) because of licensing issues?

Is that true?! SAY IT AIN'T SO!!

Thanks! Evan

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

Thanks Bundyo, I want to see someone with an N800 get this debugged before I attempt it.

Bundyo:

Thanks for trying and debugging this! right now I'm uploading an experimental userspace without the media (ALSA sound) part, can you check again on your N800?

(If you get 404 is still uploading as my Internet is not very fast)

This one should go past the mediaserver crashing on N800...hopefully...

EDIT: this is in the regular userspace now.

Installing NITdroid from Diablo

I don't have access to a Linux system right now, but I was able to install the latest NITdroid directly from diablo. To make this work, you must install bzip2 and e2fsprogs on Maemo first. Note that I had to grab e2fsprogs from chinook, as there doesn't seem to be a .deb for diablo. Just install from

Code:

deb http://repository.maemo.org chinook free non-free extras

Next, you need to download the latest kernel and filesystem from http://guug.org/nit/nitdroid/. Fire up an xterm, and get a root shell using your favorite method (`sudo su' works for me). To repartition the internal flash, use the following commands:

Code:

sudo su

sfdisk -uM --no-reread /dev/mmcblk0

# In sfdisk, use the following commands

,356,C

0,0

,,L

,,

y



# sfdisk exits.  At the command prompt, type:

reboot

After the reboot, start another xterm and get a root shell. Then use the following commands to build new filesystems and flash the kernel:

Code:

sudo su

mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk0p1

mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p3

mount /dev/mmcblk0p3 /mnt

cd /mnt

bzcat /path/to/rootfs_nitdroid.tar.bz2 | tar -xpvf -

cd /

umount /mnt

fiasco-flasher -k /path/to/zImage-nitdroid-n8x0 -f

reboot

# Don't forget to remove the mini-SD card!

Note that Android will reboot every 5 min or so as I haven't figured out a way to enable R&D mode using fiasco-flasher, so you'll need to fix that with adb from a Linux system. But this was enough to get me up and running right away :) Great work Solca! And thanks to b-man for the idea that I could get this working without a Linux host too ;)
