I'll be playing NIT kernel ping pong till Android can be dual booted, so next time I reflash, I'll give that a whirl.

Reading the output, I'd have to ask the same question. Is there an initfs partition for it to go on? should it just go in the equiv place on the Android FS we un-tar?

But, this is it in a nutshell.

You need:

Linux with gparted plus whatever it wants you to install.
Tablet running Maemo.
Free space on your memory card

First, plug in the tablet. The internel card should pop up as a drive.
Next, open gparted
Then, unmount drive.
Then, shrink the FAT32 partition, create a "unallocated" partition, then create a ext3 partition. so (fat,unallocated,ext3)
Then, copy the tar.bz2 file into the ext3 section
Open a terminal, and "change directory" into the card. Usually "cd /media/disk/"
type "sudo tar -xjvpf rootfs_nitdroid.tar.bz2"
Then, off the tablet and pull the charging cord from the tablet.
Hold down the home and switch buttons, and plug in the charger.
The tablet is now in USB update mode.
Download flasher-3.0
make sure the kernel image is in the same directory as the flasher.
Open terminal, and go to where the flasher is.
type "sudo ./flasher -f -k zImage-nitdroid-n8x0 -R" or "sudo ./flasher-3.0 -f -k zImage-nitdroid-n8x0 -R"

DONE!

I came until the last step.... where it says.
sudo: ./flasher-3.0 : command not found.

Someone please help me.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

I think you need to DL the flasher-3.0 program from the Maemo website. If you already did, then make sure to make it executable.

yeah i dowloaded it... how do i make it executable?

Thanks

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

You can do it via the GUI of pretty much any file-manager, but "chmod +x flasher-3.0" at the command line works, too.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

New files:

Kernel is now based on 2.6.28-rc9-omap.
Userspace is now based on Android git master which includes all the Cupcake goodies.

Notable changes in NITdroid is on-screen keyboard (double tap the input box), browser updated to Nov webkit, brightness works although is not tuned, install apps should work now and many other small enhancements.

If you download the WiFi calibration tool (stlc45xx-cal-0.1.2) and place it on mmcblk0p1 (/sdcard FAT partition) NITdroid will automatically copy it to it's right place and will use it subsecuently.

Enjoy! :D

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

Enjoying right now... :)

Wow, that was fast. I'm tempted to convert my N800 instead of letting it eat up its battery doing nothing under Diablo :-(
