DJ,
how did the build of the modified android go for you?

PS the torrent link is still a no go in the first post

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

no luck, back to trying to hack alsa-plugins now

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

For some reason, Wlan isn't working on my n810 :(

Can n810 users confirm wlan should work it ?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Yes, was working on a WPA2 network here with a N810 some days ago with the latest build from this thread.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

on nitdroid 0.50, wlan appeared not ot work, and I couldn't scan for networks at all, but after repeated attempts, (disable, enable wlan 10-20 times:-P) the network did appear, and I was able to connect.

After this initial connection, I was able to connect to the wlan on every reboot, without any problems.

This problem disappeared when i upgraded to 0.51

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

On to a diffrent subject, do you think the problem with google apps may have anything to do with the time? I have heard that people have been unable to connect to their google account (nee nokia hardware) on android, if the time on their device was substantially diffrent from the google servers.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I would love to help test NITDroid, if it didn't require flashing of the device. Is there any chance that it will be supported to work with the Console Tools bootloader?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

only part which needs flashing is kernel rest runs from sd card

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

But having to run the flasher tool every time I want to switch between the operating systems is hardly practical. Forgive my ignorance when it comes to linux kernels, but don't bootloaders (I'm thinking GRUB here) allow you to switch between kernels?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

dj_steve, how can i help? i have experience in embedded system development, with actual microprocessor hardware and related system design and programming experience.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Help persauding android to play would help ashish.. ill be in irc from around 3pm uk time after I get some sleep (nightshift at work :( )

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I can confirm WLAN working on a n810. It used not to work for me, but that's because I didn't let the first boot finish properly. Second install went absolutely fine (It takes a long time for the first boot to complete).
Then I was able to browse the internet just fine (albeit slowly)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I will test it.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

The new build seems to work great on my N810. I also have an N900 but that is my primary phone for now, so I'll try with N810 first and then see with N900.. My N810 build keeps crashing and rebooting after 5 minutes or so. I would like some pointers as to how you test and build the android ports to N810. I really want to see a fully working 1.6/2.1 on the N810/N900.. that would be cool. :P

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Anyone working on getting an ARM port of kexec (or similar) working on the n8x0? =\ True multi-boot would really be nice...

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Isn't kexec part of titan's kernel for the n900? Not sure if that helps you or not...

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

excuse lack of updates last few days been far to tired with doing nightshifts, will get back to developing over weekend hopefully

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I don´t know if anyone of you know the existence of this, i wonder if could be helpful for dj_steve development, so i post it:

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

yep i found it yesterday lol :) im still trying to sort out sound on n8x0

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

ok update time :) not done alot today since i was at work last night :(, but i have again decided to leave sound support temporarily. and went towork on the internal camera, which i am progressing with (although its basicly unusable unless you like green :))

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

What did you do to get past this? I'm seeing the same thing on my N800 w/4GB SD.

I did see a message pop up saying it couldn't read the firmware, but this is the third time I've rebuilt the 4GB card and there's nothing wrong with the card.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

The errors I was getting was with 2 x 16GB cards. I had originally installed Nitdriod onto a 4GB card and it worked fine (still does).

Spent a while in chat with steve, and could not pin it down to anything. The working theory ended up being that NitDroid did not like 16GB cards for some reason.

Try a different card. It may be a duff card, and y 16GB cards may also be a bit iffy in that case.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Do you still need n900 testers/devs? Willing to put some work into a port. Gonna mess around with whatever I can find, but if you have specific concerns/problems let me know..

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

yep still looking for n900 helpers since idotn get mine until sometime near start of may, ideally i want to know the current state using the kernel and rootfs bdogg64 rovided in the previous nitdroid post

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Would you be able to provide a link please. I tried searching but did not find the download and don't have much time to search longer.

I will gladly start testing on my N900 and post the results if you can provide links to the necessary files.
I presume we can follow the same installation instructions from earlier in this thread?

Thanks, downloading now. Will post status as soon as I can.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Where do I get bootmenu for my N900?

I tried the following link but can't find the files to download.

https://garage.maemo.org/projects/bootmenu/

Is there a way that I can put all the necessary files on my memory card and launch it from within maemo? (similar to Haret for windows mobile devices)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

i dont think bootmenu is needed just need to flash that kernel from what i gather of the posts in said forum

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Not sure now! Was going to follow the instructions at the following link but it says bootmenu is needed:

https://sites.google.com/site/nitdroid/n900-port

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

You mean the kexec part of titan's kernels? is that all bootmenu uses? I tried to test a while back (with a VERY early image), but couldn't get bootmenu to work. I am hoping that we can leverage titan's kernels to get a clean multi-boot system.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

thanks tywoboxen, im not sure on the n900 flashing yet..

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I want to learn how to do all this stuff but I'm not an experienced linux user and I don't want to cause any serious problems on my N900 (brick it or something!)
I read through the instructions on the previous link that I posted and it all sounds a little complicated at the moment.
I have an Ubuntu 9.10 live CD available that I could use to partition my SD card but after that I need more clearly defined step-by-step instructions of what to do to patch and compile the kernel. (can I do everything from live-CD?

Is there really no other way to just prepare all the files, put them onto the memory card and launch it from within maemo so that it terminates maemo and loads from the memory card? (not affecting the maemo installation at all) (Then after pulling the battery it should just boot normally back into maemo)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

byte_76 if you can get into the nitdroid irc chan ill see if i cant help you out a bit

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Thanks! It's getting late my side, I'm going to get some shut eye and come back to this after work tomorrow.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Thanks, I was following the original guide which created 3 partitions and it didn't work. As soon as I did the 4 partitions (1 vfat boot, 1 swap, 2 ext3 for everything else) the no-google bundle worked for me.
Not too shabby. About as usable as Maemo was, maybe more so.
Now to just get the one with the marketplace app working...so I don't have to install APKs from the web. And it reboots when plugged into power and it decides to "sleep". Don't know what's going on there.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

the reboot is down to power management issues that ive yet to fully nail down the reason for. currently im moving from getting sound running because i need to rethink how im going to. camera i need to work out as its all green at min,

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

DJ,
