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

did you copy the kernel file at the start to MyDocs?? because to me it looks like you didnt copy the file and you missed out that part when installing nitdroid. thats why it doesnt show that .item file.

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

no i didn't copy anything. i don't know which step is that?

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

[QUOTE=cuffy1;905584]" open up filebox and navigate to where you copied the kernel and copy the zImage.
Now navigate to /boot/multiboot. There should be a file here called vmlinuz-2.6.28.NIT.06. Rename it to vmlinuz-2.6.28.NIT.06.old.
Paste the xImage and rename it to vmlinuz-2.6.28.NIT.06.
Now you have the latest kernel installed!"

i install new kernel but when i boot to nitdroid it says can't flash kernel,i did all steps the correct way????

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

I got a problem install in EMMC in the latest first post.
I cant boot into nitdroid without SD card, stop at loading ext3 and comes a rootsystem error....
But if I insert a SD card, it works fine.
I have checked the multiboot settings, is set to INT P2, or P5, it also not OK.

what is the problem I faced? please help, many thx!!

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

You should try this : bzip2 -d NITDroid-0.0.9.tar.bz2

You can only bzip2 a file which has been compressed using .tar.bz2 extention , oh and see that you've placed this file in MyDocs and recheck what you've type many times

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

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

i followed the instrsuctions of page 1 of this topic, and during the procces i had no problems at all, but right now as i told u i am on the step to update from 0.0.8 to 0.0.9 this wha is driving me crazy

Installing NITDroid 0.0.9 to the EMMC:
1.Enable all repositories from App manager (Extras-testing, Extras-devel, Extras and the default Nokia)
2.Install Leafpad from the App manager and make sure that you have root access
3.Close App manager, open X Terminal and execute the following commands:

Code:
root
apt-get update
apt-get install nitdroid-installer y
y again if it asks again
4.After the nitdroid-installer package is installed, close X Terminal
5.Install the above-mentioned installer, nitdroid-installer_0.2.7_armel.deb by copying it to the N900 and opening it via App manager, it will recognize it as a small update for your installer that you downloaded and installed in the third step.
6.Open X Terminal, and execute the following commands:

Code:
root
nitdroid YES
7.After NITDroid ends installation (20 minutes on 70 kb/s download speed) don't yet reboot your phone to NITDroid! Tap the drop down top menu in X Terminal and click new and close the one before (the one that said NITDroid was successfully installed)

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

what about step one 1.Enable all repositories from App manager (Extras-testing, Extras-devel, Extras and the default Nokia) how do you default n900?

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

@Skoaa
you're not typing the command properly!
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-0.0.9.tar
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb
it is case sensitive. capitals should be capital

have you copied the files to your phone using the usb cable? you would only get that error because either theres a spelling mistake or the files are not there!

@ottoman
go into filebox setting and turn on root...

@TMavica
Good to hear it worked :D

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

Hi,
Awesome post. I managed to have the Nitdroid installed and able to boot Android. Quite excited to use it more ... However need a couple of clarifications
- I am not able to hear anything when I called my friend. All I knew was that the phone is dialling. Need help here.
- FB and Twitter seem to be unstable. They are closing out almost immediately when I open them. How do I set this right ?

Looking to get this sorted soon and start using the Android OS

Cheers,
svinz

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

This has been answered so many times...
I will repeat my self again. The phone is not working. Nitdroid is without phone for now. It may start working in the later version but not in this version.
Secondly. Twitter is working fine for me.. I also have the widget on the home screen and that is working fine aswell.
Try restarting you phone and see if that helps :)

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

For people who said why their phone stops charging when the screen off?
Here is the solution:

You have to keep the phone awake while on charge. To do this go to Settings > Applications > Development > Stay Awake

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

@tele - Thanks ... Will try it out now :) Hadn't been able to read all the pages and must have skipped it.

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

in step 9 that I need to change that?
thanks.

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

Yes you need to change the EXT to INT

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

In these last steps when I perform the the leafpad command it opens a blank document, is this normal ?

For me im finding this version much more slower than it did in 0.0.8, it could be from me manual installing.

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

In this case. You could install filebox from the app manager.
After installing openup filebox, go to settings and turn on root.

Then go to /etc/multiboot.d
Find the file with nitdroid in it. Highlight the file and edit it

Then change the EXT to INT

Good luck

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

thanks, but opening leafpad already changed. is that correct?

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

then thats great.
try booting into nitdroid and see if it boots up :D

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

then I do not need saving? Leafpad close and restart with the keyboard open?

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

So I got nitdroid installed and multiboot working, but when trying to boot into nitdroid, it hangs @ adb open. This is after the " ANDROID" appears on the screen, followed by a bunch of system files not found. What am I doing wrong. Whats funny is that I got it to boot once, but that was after I tried to boot it without a sdcard. I got the "guru" error, put the card back in, booted again, and it worked.

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

if i follow the guide on post 1 will it wipe my memory card like it did 6 months ago when i tried this?
and will i still be able to over clock maemo, cos i couldnt last time i tried even with all the fixes and advice people gave me?
