Kernel update for Nitdroid:
1. Download the kernel from http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/zImage.
2. Connect your phone using usb to your computer and copy the kernel over to the phone (paste it in MyDocs) open up filebox and navigate to where you copied the kernel and copy the zImage.
3. 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.
4. Paste the xImage and rename it to vmlinuz-2.6.28.NIT.06.
Now you have the latest kernel installed!

EDIT wow i made a balls of explaining that i just mean dont put the dot after vmlinuz-2.6.28.NIT.06 when renaming

Let alone Opera Mini, aren't there any other proxy-enabled web browsers working on Nitdroid?

is this still the case for you? as i tried opera just now and it seems to work well

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!

I'll read and search through topic some more but here are 2 basic questions from complete newbie:

Can it be installed on phone's memory and if so do I need to flash/format?

I have 2gb microsd card, is that enough? And if it is and I can install on it do I still need to flash/lose all my stuff from maemo?

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!

erm..hello..i have managed to install nitdroid on emmc (p5), however, i got a red led blinking rapidly non-stop..

i didn't have the problem during the first startup..

are there any fixes to be made?i read somewhere (i don't know if this is for 0.0.9) about a patch for restarting BME, however, the patch will break wifi..

any idea anyone?tried to search, but nothing about this red led on 0.0.9..

i'd appreciate any help regarding this problem.. =) thankyou

use the following steps to rectify this issue. I had faced the same a few days back.

mount the android partition in maemo
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and

go to the data directory
cd /and/data

delete the ofono directory here.
rm -rf ofono

finally reboot into your nitdroid installation. u will find ur phone settings back at automatic and no airplane mode getting set by default.

If nitdroid was installed on sd will there be a way to upgrade to gingerbread with the upgrade files I found instead of uninstalling/reinstalling ?

On your sd card?
download nitdroid gingerbread in MyDocs then:

Code:

root

mount /dev/mmcblk1p2

cd /home/user/MyDocs

bzip2 -d gingerbread.tar.bz2

cd /and

tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/gingerbread.tar

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!

I just reformatted my N900 - as in, both emmc and fw. I have no SD card (the holder is broken).

I finished the guide, but upon booting and choosing 2 at the OS-menu I get "root filesystem mmcblk1p2 NOT available!". When choosing 2, which is gingerbread, it clearly states mmcblk1p2 under "Device:" yet the .item file has INT_CARD p2. What gives?

Thank you! I had tried that earlier but it did not work. This time I excluded the $ in front. Android booting now.

Same as above, but I'll try my carriers APN in a minute.

Uhm, is there a fix for the keyboard? I installed the fix on the front page but I still can't write periods, Æ, Ø or Å. Language is set to Norwegian.

GPRS/3G Internet work fine for me on a Vodafone contract.

I trust you have created a APN settings for Vodafone UK

http://www.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=APN

--------------
Vodafone

Name: Vodafone WAP
APN: wap.vodafone.co.uk (for Pay monthly)

pp.vodafone.co.uk (for pay as you go)

Username: wap (do not use)
Password: wap (do not use)
MMSC:
MMS Proxy: 212.183.137.012 (probably no use at the moment)
MMS Port: 8799 (probably no use at the moment)
MCC: 234
MNC: 30
