I just want to get clarification on this point. If you have NITDROID 0.0.8 already installed and start at step 7, this will just transfer the android files from SD CARD to eMMC? It will not format your eMMC. The reason this person's eMMC was formatted and all lost was because he formatted his "sd card" in android? Following this guide from step 7 is not suppose to lose all your data already on N900?

Yes just start from step 7. U will only copy nitdroid files to ur emmc and boot from there instead of the microsd no formatting repartitioning is made

I'm a bit confused...

On what partition will the android files be copied to?
To the 2GB applications partition or the larger MyDocs partition?

@silbah
The 2GB partition but don't worry It wouldn't take much space ~150Mbs
You can even download and flash one of the custom emmcs i included just backup ur data and flash one of the custom emmcs
@agdroubi
Definitely yes!
@Juanma9
It is possible to recieve sms and calls but to make, no

How do you uninstall nitdroid on the emmc?

Re: [TUTORIAL] NITDROID easy install, install on EMMC, All fixes, Overclocking NIT to noobs, the full guide
 
I just wanted to take a moment to put in my two cents for this.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!! Thanks ammyt!

I had NITDROID already installed and followed the guide from #7 on and now I have a very nice Android that is smooth and fast. If you have NITDROID on SD Card, you have got to put it on the eMMC. This is the way to go. Full on dual OS's. Once 0.0.9 comes out with newer android and fixes, this may be a run all the time situation for me.

hey ammyt

there is some thing wrong in unistalling

as the command mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and only mounts mmcblk1p2 which is a partition of the memory card not emmc so it won't unistall nitdroid installed on /home

Well i didn't install backupmenu before so dunno much about it but if u successfully go through backupmeu and entered the bootmenu just typing 2 will let u enter nitdroid successfully. :)

can i install nitdroid with the stock kernel of maemo??
or do i need i custom one?

and overclocking nitdroid? with custom kernel or stock??

sorry i am totally noob.

ammyt 2010-12-02 21:09

Re: [TUTORIAL] NITDROID easy install, install on EMMC, All fixes, Overclocking NIT to noobs, the full guide
 
No problemo Ali:
Installing nitdroid will install its own kernel along, preferrably stock nokia kernel should be used. Extra steps shall be done if running titans kernel.
overclocking nitdroid needs nothing, just to edit a .conf file!

Hello folks,

I installed nitdroid on micro sd 8 gb (class 4), but the general speed of Os was very very slow and the battery runs out very quickly, about 3-4 hours...but the miracle happened :eek:

Following the route from step 7, I copied the folder /and to main memory (emmc) and starting n900 from the boot.
Now has nothing to envy to the terminals as the galaxy or desire...:cool:

Speed is increased by 10 times and now I have a terminal responsive as I've always wanted maemo-android and at the same time as the failings of a are filled with each other.

Thanks to the Nitdroid team ... I love you and congratulations for the work and hope for a port to 100% on our fantastic phone :rolleyes:

Congrats, I been running NITDroid for months now on a N900 a friend sold to me. Although you all need to know that yes it may use "less" battery power but the battery icon is not correct. It does normally report higher battery power than whats really in the battery. Known problem. Also if you got alot of apps running then the battery will drain extremely fast. Also keep it away from heat as charging it does warm up the battery some.
