Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

A lot of others here have got it to run on the same hardware. If I were to take a wild guess, I'd say that the problem might be with your nolo, which is a couple of versions behind. Upgrading might fix it, but you might want to take a second opinion first ;)

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

I know its not ready for prime time or regular use but a few questions:

Does the calendar work for you? Mine blinks the screen and goes back to the desktop.
Contact synch doesnt work
I don't see the Terminal app even though it says the app is installed.

Anyone?

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

hey guys I can't seem to get past the flashing step. Here's the output of the flasher program:
marty@marty-laptop:~/Desktop/nitdroid$ sudo ./flasher-3.0-static -f -k zImage-nitdroid-n8x0 --enable-rd-mode -R
flasher v0.9.0 (Jan 19 2007)

Suitable USB device not found, waiting

I get the nitroid logo and no further. Any guess as to what to do?

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

I just removed the battery inserted it again and it worked.

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

soory... didn't for me.

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

Did you install it on your SD or your internal memory?
I followed the process and had it installed on the internal memory, not on the SD. I actually had to remove the SD otherwise it wouldn't work.

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

put it on the SD... so I should install it on internal memory? How would ubuntu display that like /dev/sda or something else?

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

Run dmesg with the SD then run it again without the one that wasn't removed is the internal memory :-)

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

Thanks, sarathmenon, after I upgraded my N810 to diablo, everything works as advertised. Now NITdroid is running on my N810, many thanks to everyone!

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

So I have probably a pretty lame question but im just wanting to know how to use the script that is on the top of the main post. I dont know if it is supposed to do everything or what but once I download it I cant do anything with it. Please help me out.

Thanks

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

I would like to know this also how do we get it running ?

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

Erm, you need a system running Linux with the nescessary tools.

If you have that, you open up the terminal or console, cd to the directory you downloaded it to and run:

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

I am sorry i am kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff i have

a n800 and would like to get this running so what else would i need

to have on it if you could a step by step would help?










thanks.

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

NITdroid SUPER SIMPLE STEP-BY-STEP setup for complete and utter dummies.... between Jake's script and this post, small children should be able to setup NITdroid.

(Note: I did this on an N810)

OK, here's this whole thing made SLIGHTLY EASIER. (There were still some parts that made me sad...)

DISCLAIMER:
I DO NOT OR HAVE EVER CLAIMED TO KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. MUCH SMARTER PEOPLE THAN I HAVE LAID THE GROUNDWORK FOR WHAT I AM ABOUT TO TELL YOU. I AM MERELY PASSING ON MY EXACT STEPS. WHAT WORKED FOR ME MIGHT FRY YOUR N810.

Now that thats out of the way, this is what I did.

0. Installed Ubuntu from Vista (then booted into it, of course)

http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

1. Downloaded Jake's Complete script & saved it to the desktop (in ubuntu)

http://www.jakemaheu.com/nitdroid_complete.sh

2. opened a terminal
closed terminal

3. Connected N810 (powered on in Maemo) via usb.

4. Double-clicked the script, chose RUN IN TERMINAL.

5. After it auto-downloads the stuff it needs, it asked me to type the last entry in a list.

For example, lets say the last entry in MY list was /dev/sdd1.
I typed sdd1 for my first response.
I typed sdd for my second
I typed sdd3 for my third.

(WARNING my first instinct was to type /dev/sdd1 as my first response because of how it was worded... DON'T, it messes up.)

6. The next time it prompted me was to set up the partitions.
My EXACT responses were

,1024,C [ENTER]
,1,L [ENTER]
,, [ENTER]
,, [ENTER]

then it asks you a question, I hit Y [ENTER]

7. Then it prompts you to unplug the USB. Do so, power off the N810, plug the USB BACK IN, and power up, holding the SWAP key (one under camera). You should see the USB logo in the upper-right hand corner... if not power down and try again.

It then recognizes the device, writes to it, and resets the N810.
When mine came back on, i saw the droid logo, which is how I knew it worked.

At this point, you should be done... I just wrote most of this from memory (short-term, thankfully). And I have not even played with it yet (because I didn't want to lose this info in my scattered-mind),

Obviously, any thanks for the main concept of this should goto jakemaheu's first post. However, if the setup stumped you as much as it did me, feel free to thank me as well;)

I hope this helps some one. I am pretty new @ linux, and I just thought that even though this script does 99.9% of the work, somebody (besides me) might need help with the other 0.01%.

EDIT///

And, now I'm removing it :-P

It's a friggin awesome concept to have it on the tablet, but as it has been said before, it is not ready for everyday use yet.

Once it is more usable (w/ sound, etc), I'm gonna reference this post to put it back on ;)

Winning the battle was worth the waste of time!

EDIT2///

0-=- TO FIX YOUR 2GB CARD PARTITIONS -=-0

I was like "Oh, snap... now i'm stuck with a 1gb internal card :'(".

Then I used my noggin. Fixing it was real simple (even for us non-genius linux users).

0. Back in Ubuntu!

1. I connected the N810 (turned on, inside my uber-fresh Maemo flash), which mounted my 2 new partitions.

2. I went to Applications and installed Gnome Partition Editor.

3. Opened up a terminal and typed
4. it ran, i went to the top right and changed it from my computer's HDD to the N810's card (VERY IMPORTANT!)

5. I right clicked the last two on the list, hit 'unmount' for each

6. I right clicked the same two, hit 'delete' for each

7. I then stretched (or extended or whatever) the remaining one to the full size as Fat32 (not sure if this matters)

8. I hit APPLY, and BOOM! I got my 2gb card back!

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

I finally installed Ubuntu on my desktop and followed the process on my N810 and i keep getting stuck at the nitdroid screen. It never switches over to the pulsating android symbol. Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

hmm... sorry, beyond my last post i have no further advice.

hopefully someone else on here knows.

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

My NITDROID is stuck it's not booting,it's not proceeding beyond the android image i need help please

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

I had the same problem. I did not fix it but it's easy enough to get back to original firmware using the flash program. It's referenced on the home page.

Paulk

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

While there certainly could be many causes for this problem, this happened to me when I had an SD card in my N810. When I took it out and rebooted (by pulling the battery out), it loaded up just fine.

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

ehm...
i'm very noob and after being frustrated tryin' to install NitDroid on my Nokia N800, finally i did it! ^_^.

@ gpmartinson one of the MAIN goal is to setup correctly the memory card (MMC) during the partitioning process ;) That's why you can only see the NITDroid logo after turing on the tablet. Maybe It's flashed but it can't access to the MMC

ehi, linux people! please accept my post as a feedback. Often it's very hard to "translate" your guides because they are NOT standard.

Well, i solved everything when i installed Ubuntu (actually 9.04). I used a Debian first, but some commands are different despite of Ubuntu.
Another big problem is the "name" of the device used by Debian when you connect the tablet: sda, sdb, sdd... etc. i couldn't mount/umont anything :°(

Now all works fine =D

Great job guys!

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

hello,
I have run the android on n810.
But i get a problem:
when i use the "adb" command, it can't find the device.
How can i find my device with adb?
Thanks a lot

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

I have Nokia N810 and would like to get NITdroid on it but I am confused how do I open Terminal on Vista or if someone can help and show me a step to step guide or if it there is a video instuction that would help a lot Thanks...

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

This post should help you out http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=294372

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

how do I open terminal in vista.?

Re: Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

hello,
I have tried to do every steps that you wrote.
But it doesn't work.
when I tape the command
adb get-state
I see always "unknown".
What is the problem?
Thanks before

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

Although there is a way to open a terminal in vista (cygwin, etc), that is NOT what the instructions say. The terminal is opened in Linux (Ubuntu in my example). READ!

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

So is the ubuntu file a iso file? How would I open it?

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

I pm'ed you this, but i think it bares repeating...

Quote:

btw, i think you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. There's not much you can do with NITdroid on the N8x0... plus there's no sound. Not as cool (by far) as it is on G1. Also, you lose maemo (unless you dual boot (maybe?) but I know nothing about that. Just fair warning.

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

Hiepnautik: please stop PMing me with requests to call you with help regarding Android on the N8x0. I said "no" and that should be good enough.

If you have questions, post them here, or try IRC.

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

Also figured this deserved posting....

It's nice because it installs INSIDE of maemo.

Just seems like info that might be helpful to others out there.

(ISO's can be tricky.........)

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

Thats the price you pay for being a well-known uber-tableteer! ;)

...now he's in your repository....






....LOOK OUT! :eek:

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

Usually people aren't so aggressive.



heheh... I'M IN UR REPO DL'ING YUR FILEZ :)

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

Ya i like keeping it public. You can't get Thanked! in a PM :D

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

Is NITdroid development continuing? From what I've seen of recent videos on YouTube, it appears to still be in early stages. A bit clunky for real world use.

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

So, its possible install Android in N800 using a windows xp 64bits??? Or only with the linux ubuntu?


I found this topic on internet:

http://www.unwiredview.com/2008/07/0...kia-n810-easy/


Is this possible on N800 too???


how Android go in n800? Is fine? Is better and faster then maemo???

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

Its not "better" than maemo, its not complete at all. I think you need a Unix (Mac or Linux) system to use the flasher program.

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

Understand... Ok, maybe i will try this :D


Tnx

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

It would be sweet if someone could figure out how we could try out the soon to be released Android 1.6 (cupcake) on out N8x0/N900's.

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

Yeah, is really...



I have ubuntu installed on my pc too... but i see some videos on youtube about this android version... they realy dont have a support for the touch screen??? is just used in keys???

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.
 

Really?!

NICE!

I will try it today so :D

Hey, how doing this system on N800? They work good? Too slow? More fast then maemo?
