Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I just used AndApp and wait for it to load after connecting to a wifi. Then tested a few apps, like dictionaries and few games. Next I will install a browser to manually install packages, I suppose just by running apk files. Not sure Android has an apt like cli for app management.

Ohh, anyone manage to increase font size in NITroid? Especially for the terminal emulator. The set font-size 9pt is so small to use it conveniently.

if your system is x64 you cant install maemo flasher, i have this problem but I deal with it using a i386 linux distribution on vmware player

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Have you tried the tar package? (maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.tar.gz -- I know it says for non-Debian OSes)I used it and just unpacked it. Works perfectly in Fedora 12.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

What Windows version are you using? IIRC 64-bit versions of Windows wont work.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Will try that. Win is 64bit. But Linux ir 32bit

For anyone having trouble installing apps in android - Install 0.0.3.1 rootfs from pg84.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

you can only have access for apps after installing 0.0.3.1. i have the same but dont know why i m getting "not enough space" msg. one more thing, when i go to my sd card from the menu it is showing my 32 mb internal flash as sd card. i belive thats the reason. any solutions for that?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I booted it up the first time, it seemed to work but no wifi of course. Everybody says it doesn't work till the 3rd boot or so.

Every boot after the first goes to the Android desktop, with clock, battery, and network icons on the top, nothing else. It sits there for about 2 minutes and goes to a flashing cursor for about 10 sec or so (maybe less), then blank screen.

What is going on?

Edit:
Hmmmm.

By pushing the power button and whatnot I got the desktop to reappear for brief seconds before sleep, then backspace seemed to do some sort of trick and help it work. It would switch to the console or something, and inform me that I had just covered the proximity sensor, or opened the keyboard, or whatever. But it seems to be working.

It's pretty cool.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

just press ctrl button on ur key board and every thing will be fine.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Yeah, I'm having the same problem installing apps. Not enough space, it says.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

guys, is the contacts scrolling and other scrolling smoother than maemo??cuz frankly im quite pissed off at the fact that scrolling in maemo is ultra choppy!please reply

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I managed to install some beta version of Swype(look in this article for a download link): http://www.techhail.com/mobiles/down...oid-phone/3852

The installation succeeded but Swype don't work with 800x480 phones :p
At least the settings turned up in the Android control panel, so I guess it's working.

How much available memory do you have? I have 5.73GB available. I don't know how much memory you need available to install apps, but those of you that gets a installation failure might have too little memory left.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I have 1gb sd card only and i read that it is enough for android, but how to partition it? How much space i need to spare for each partion to make it work?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

make the smallest partition as the fat one (about 100mbis fine) rest make ext3)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Not getting much love. Had a few 5 hour boots. Now it seems to be booting in 30 secs but I only get the lock screen, where if I swipe to unlock it shuts down or I just see the backround and turns off.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

sounds like no r&d maybe, or try presing ctrl/sym you may very well get back in

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I tried without R&D yesterday, it took about 2 seconds after I picked "Android" until it shut down :p

Maybe you can try to get it working without R&D mode? That would be great. (right now I'm switching between enabling R&D when I want to try Android more, and turning it off).

Oh, and maybe you should start a support thread so that this development thread wont be this cluttered.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

i have found a script that supposed to be related to the watchdogs but not sure how to integrate it yet

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

any tips for ppl who are having problem in installing apps. I am getting not enough space error here. if it is a permission problem can some one tell me how to check for the right permissions?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

check the perms on /system/app are 777

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I have been testing this since yesterday night and the scrolling on web pages is sooo smooth its really a joy to browse using the Android browser.

Also do people know that you can switch of the phone while in android by holding the on/off button for approx 2 secs and then selecting phone off? It takes a bit of time but does swtich off.

I have the rootfs with the two app stores installed (andappstore client & SAM) but both of these give the not enough memory error. I have 5.86GB free on the eMMC but Android recognises this as SD card, and 3.35GB available space on micro SD card but Andrpid recognises this as internal phone storage.
To the person who managed to install apps how much free space did you have on these two and also what steps did you take to get the installation to work?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Steve any advances on the phone function, whats actually stopping it from working?

Thanks for all your work

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

i must admit i did not try the apps but lets see if we ccan solve perms. someone try findin perms for /system/app and /data and all its subfolders please

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

If you talk about me, I've got 5.73GB free "internally", and 23.63GB on "SD card". Internal = MicroSD where Android runs from, SD card = N900 internal storage.

@dj_steve: I'll check the perms out.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

ignore the 'sdcard' mem its not issue here

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

@dj_steve:

Permissions for /system/app is: rwxr-xr-x (AKA all permissions)
Permissions for /data is: rwxr-xr-x (AKA all permissions)

And I can install apps. Someone who cant should probably check their permissions. I managed to install a thing by downloading a .apk file in the internal browser and just click it.

EDIT: The touch screen driver seems a little buggy, when you reach the outer areas of the screen the calibration seems off, but in the middle it's ok. Check it out yourself, open Dev tools and select Pointer Location.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

can u install via an app store ?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Yes, I just opened the official app store and downloaded and installed AndFTP without any problem.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

hwd ya get official market goin

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Dunno, I opened "App Store" earlier today but it hang during "Downloading updates", but now when I opened it I got lots of categories, and I just opened one and downloaded an app. I assume "App Store" is the official one?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

na market would be googles one lol. k ill wait for someone who cant install to check

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Oh :) Do you already know about the touch screen issue btw?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

what issue?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Once you get closer to the edge, the virtual cursor won't stay under the stylus. Check Dev tools -> Pointer Location and drag up and down a bit and you'll hopefully understand ;)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I have the same issue with the touch screen.

I can try and check the permissions if you tell me how. Is it possible to check with mem card in phone or need to put mem card in laptop?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

First you should try to install something via App Store, if you can then great, otherwise I can provide instructions.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

can be done in phone but easier on pc likely.. touch screen im aware of nt much can do at min for it

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I have an issue with wifi: have 2 previously accessed networks. But currently I'm in the range of another one, that is not saved, and always that I go to the wifi config to connect to the new one, Android reboots (in fact the "Android" appears, and after some seconds the homescreen appear again, is not a complete reboot).

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Only took about a minute to check for me... And the touch screen is not a big issue, I think its a very small issue compared to the need of R&D mode, no phone / 3G data connections.. Oh well, keep up the great work :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

its a reload. can you mount mem card on pc delete the boot.log file in root of card then try wifi again and after restart upload the log file
