Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Mem card inserted into PC on Ubuntu so can check now if someone can give me quick instruction please.

Apps don't install for me whether through the app stores or downloaded through browser.

Ok worked it out. It says drwxrwxrwx for /system/app/ (but that was after I messed about with it a little bit right clicking on it)

for /data it says drwxrwx--x (that one I didn't mess about with yet so assume both of them originally said this.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

ls-l /mnt/system

Just to make sure, I changed to the /mnt/system directory. Then I ran the following command:
chmod 777 system/app

I hope I did it right. Now it says drwxrwxrwx

I haven't rebooted yet, because I'm in class and don't want to run out of batteries.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I might as well change data to 777 as well, right?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

yea or if you want to be really brave chmod -r 777 data

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

What is the benefit of doing -r 777? I'm willing to try this.

My advice to anyone scared of this:
Back up first, then just try it. Good directions are on page 94. Take an afternoon and give it a shot. Make sure you get some sort of linux environment. I tried doing it all from the N900 and a gparted cd, and it was a real pain. It's easier with a ubuntu live cd. I had to try a couple of things twice.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

it jus sets everything to world read writee. i am not sure where android installs apps so that may work

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Hey steve, im trying to partition my 1gb memory card on my ubuntu pc. i put it in and run dmesg and it says sdd or sde or whatever it is then i run fdisk /dev/sdd and it says unable to open sdd


help me here please?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

sudo fdisk

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

ok ill try that now!

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

omg this seems to be one of the most active project in the maemo community atm, and definitely one that everyone is looking forward to.

well done guys, please keep up with the amazing work.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I thought that's what 777 did. Does the -r make it hit the subdirectories or something?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

@dj_steve: Out of interest, do you have any timeline/planning/roadmap for the project?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

hey steve can you tell me the correct procedure to shut down android and start maemo?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

hold down power to power off android then close keyb and power back on it should boot maemo

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

ok will try!

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

wow, works flawlessly!!

now, anyway to overclock? in both m5 and adroid?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

not at min the overclock sections are not in kernel (and i woudln recommend it in android as i think it already gets locked to 600mhz for some reason

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

ok thanks steve, you are a genius

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

just been informed we have partial sound running now too (only speakers nothing else yet) ill probably test tonight and have something up tomorrow :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

will it be an easy upgrade for us who have already installed?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

probably adding of one file but ill confirm in a bit :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Sounds awesome. (Get it? Sounds awesome :rolleyes: Pun intended)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

hah thats good.

edit: anyone fancy being tester for how long a fully charged battery will last in nitdroid ?

EDIT 2: ok, if anyone wants to test this better than i can at min download the following file and place it in /system/etc replace current file if it exists. this should give sound in android, works here but i cant test for long.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

@Dj_Steve

I think you can select the frequencies if you have the overclock widget. I'll test later.

I'll gladly test it when my phone is charged, was playing with Android for a few hours earlier.

Do you want me to test with screen off/screen on, general usage or whatever?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

just general usage like you normally would, i want to see how far off our power management is at min (cant be any worse than iphones 1hour life :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Ok, I'll post in here later with my results. Luckily, my sleep schedule is ridiculous which allows me to stay up until 6am.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

just bear in mind that the battery meter may not be accurate in android so its possible you could totally drain batt, so may need another route to charge it

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Yeah I noticed that the other day. It reported me having 39% and then turned itself off a minute later.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

yea its not perfect lol

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

steve, how would i place this file in android?
