Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

I did the NOVA, and it is pretty impressive to me. I have NOT been able to get a copy of asphalt5, I googled those place, they sound fishy. I have NOT have that much fun with the N900 for several months. I am still playing with apps that I installed, but not even tried....

They are very impressive i agree, just not made for resistive touch screens though...

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

What are the specs when it is repartitioned correctly?

you are missing mmcblk0p2

How come mine is mmcblk0 built-in N900 card and mmcblk1 is microSD card? strange
Anyhow, you are missing the mmcblk0p2. what kind of card is yours, 16 G card?

Your partition commands should be as follow:
Shamelessly stealing from wiki, for a 16 G card
==============================================
xterm
sudo gainroot
umount /dev/mmcblk1p1

sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,14100,C
,,L

EOF
===============================================
- double check your typing before hitting return. upper case and lower case are different.
- after that, reboot, and do another cat /proc/partitions
- start a thread on forum.nitdroid.com>installation help>n900, I will meet you there. I do NOT want this thread turned into another installation thread.

Edit: I DO NOT dictate what people want to post here, feel free to post what you want to post. However, I plus others would be more than happy to help you regarding installation problem on the other forum, forum.nitdroid.com. I would very much, please, keep this thread as a thread to "open the capacity of n900" to a different OS, to make your n900 more capable, to make your n900 to do something which is otherwise NOT possible because Nokia has declared maemo5 EOL, to.... you got the picture.

I would NOT respond to any installation questions post here, I would continue welcome, discussion, comments, critics, suggestions, rotten tomatoes, exclaimation, sigh or whatnots here, thanks for playing

does the size of the card make a differance to the speed of the os?
i have a 4gb

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

ill bet the speed of the card is more important than the size of the card. engadget has an article today bout toshibas new class 10 which will be great for this when it comes out and the price is right

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

how is the battery life of running Nitdroid compared to running Maemo? I haven't installed it yet so i don't know. I'm interested in installing it though, has anyone got it to multi-boot so that u can switch between Nitdroid and Maemo anytime?? I have Backup Menu and it apparently has a multi-boot function, or that you can add one somehow but i currently have a bricked N900 and don't wanna brick it again after i reflash it.

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

battery life is ok'ish not as good as maemo 5.
multi-boot works you have to reboot to change between OS
if you like playing with your n900 i'd definitely install nitdroid lot of fun to be had playing

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

sorry to ask, ,im just a total noob on this kind of things, im VERY tempted to install nitdroid, but i have a question....

i know its automatic install but.. how to install, just download the autoinstaller from the devel repo and thats it? it will do EVERYTHING?

cheers :P
