OK, it did automatically refreshed itself. Now all songs in my Music folder in the main SD card are in my playlist.

Now the question is how can I listen to music and do something else on the device? :D

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

play song then press back few times

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Hehe, indeed it can multitask. But nothing like Maemo's task browser? Oh yes dragging down the taskbar shows what is active at that moment.

It would be nice to support earphone, so that I can discover more without disturbing others around :D

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

headphone supports being looked at :).

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I have a small suggestion: Map camera key(as in half-down, not entirely down) as the 'back' key and use backspace as backspace.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

thats a good idea but the camera button is not active as yet (for some reason nokia decided to make it its own module

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Anyone can get any map loading on Nitroid? I can't see anythin on maps.google.com nor on an external app called Map Droyd (installed through AndApp Store)

Fun times installing and testing applications :D

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Oh. Thats a shame :(
Lets hope you'll get it working soon then ;)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

dj_steve and other, I'm loving the recent progress.
Keep up the good work !

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

is there a updated how-to like the one on page 30 or just the videos?

btw. thanks for all your work!

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I boot up android on my n900 using files on first page, instructions on 30 page and videos :)
Oww and i added the "android.etc.item" file to /etc/bootmenu.d to make it work(search the thread).

ps
Steve, you are the man! :D

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

i saved it in windows in my downloads map and then i moved it to c-drive

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

You'll have to get it inside DSL somehow, use a usb-stick for example(that is the easiest way IMO, except for virtualbox which has a easy network-sharing feature).

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

DJ_Steve: Sound is not working for me. I added the asound.config yesterday and tested lastnight. I have no sound anywhere. All my settings for (seemingly) correct.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Have you tried playing a music file? I don't think there are any sounds except when playing music files...

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

the files for things like changing volume are not their so music is what works

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I'm not silly ;). Tested an mp3. no sound at all.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

id suggest checking the asound.conf is in coreect place etc

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

It's in the root of SD (android rootfs)

Quick question: Does this kernel have a framebuffer console.
I know it's a verbose booting kernel (love that).

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

that is framebuffer console lol. and it needs to be in /system/etc as i mentioned :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Thanks. Why use 2 different names for same thing!! Confuses me.
Thanks for that.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

we can blame the linux kernel for being annoyin with names their

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

any idea how to put the phone in portrait mode?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Can you use easy Debian on the n900 to prepare the SD card ?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

If it's not installed to your SD card... It's possible.
Easier on your computer.
I'm sure it's possible. All you really need if fdsik.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Sound works perfect. Tested on a game from appstore :D

Hmm when i press power it doesn't turn off the screen(it stays black with communications about "what is going on with device" :D ). Is it normal?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Just so everyone knows. if you [right click > save as] the rootfs link it downloads a 200~250kb file and not the 43.1mb rootfs

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Hello dj_steve,

you are still doing a great job and I would like to thank you.

But I've got a little problem with sound. I put the correct file in the correct folder (/system/etc) but nothing happens when I play some music. I rebooted my android twice but it's still the same problem: no sound at all!
Any suggestion?

regards.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Keep up the good work Steve!!!

Was just wondering, you reckon its possible to post a list of what needs doing in priority order, and whats already done?

Thanks and i just think it will answer alot peoples questions :P

Oh and any idea about portrait support? That'd be awesome :)

And like someone said earlier, you are the man :D

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

portrait ill have to look at as its a bit annoyin to work out. as for priority list we dont really have one as it tends to be what we can make progress on at the time tho at moment it seems to be as below

working on:
sound support
phone/data

being looked at:
rotation
accelerometer

non-critical parts being left at moment
keyb slide
power management/sleep tweaks
watchdog processes

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

not heard of this happening. check file is in /system/etc on microsd and called asound.conf also make sure its permissions are 755 (chmod 755 asound.conf)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Concerning my sound problem, I tried again and it's now working.
I don't understand why now and why not before, but I'm glad it's working :confused:

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Hi All,

first all, thanks so much to all those who contribute daily to this endeavor(this project actually made me change my mind about selling my phone), i was able to install android on my n900 in no time at all, which is amazing since im a complete novice at linux.. :)

@ dj_steve and anyone else who may be in a position to help, im stuck at installing apps, sound and everything else is working. Iv tried the chmod 777 fix on the system/app and system/data folder and even though the 777 permissions were applied, i still get the no space error. Android is installed on an 8gig sdcard and the system reports that 6.8gig is free..

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

You can't turn off the screen really, when the display should "fade out" it shows what's happening behind the scenes.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I actually like the "behind the scenes" when you flick it over to standby. It's gives it a nice nerd appeal. :) No one else?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

@dj_steve: is it possible to calibrate the screen? Is there an app to do this? I tried in the console emulator "touch test" but it gave me an error: "permission denied" even after having typed "su" to get root's permissions.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I don't know if DjSteve is aware of this project, anyway I'm posting it.

http://code.google.com/p/rowboat/

"Enable key OMAP35xx, AM37xx, AM35x hardware features (ARM plus NEON, DSP, 2D/3D Accelerated Graphics and others)"

:D
Now we can have accelerated 3D and DSP support!

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
