FOR PEOPLE WITH PYMAEMO OPTIFICATION ERRORS

THIS IS HOW I FIXED MINE...THIS IS NOT GUARANTEED TO WORK OKAY? SO NO RAPING.

Basically, In /etc/multiboot.d/11* Where it says ITEM_DEVICE, make sure it looks EXACTLY LIKE THIS (assuming you have installed to eMMC and HAVE NO partitioned)

ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p2

Yes...No $ sign, and 0p2.

If you've installed to another partition e.g. Partition 5, it will look like this:

ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p5

I am no guaranteeing this fix, just saying it worked for me.

And anyone got a good way of changing the LCD density, this seems to have changed in 2.3, and i dont know how to change it :/

AND my keyboard is RAPED, as in, is unuseable! Any ideas? Gonna try the HTC keyboard now :D

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

Guys, I am trying to install the nitdroid-installer, step #3 from the 1st post. I keep getting error messages that I have unmet dependencies which could not be fixed. Can someone assist me to get past this point. I followed the instructions and did everything rite up to #3. How do I fix these dependencies...

Thanks

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

you mean the nitdroid version of poweer control widget ,
shall appreciate if you can tell me the file name for that widget .
is it from the google nitdroid market

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

What part of Step 3 are you struggling with? Have you tried these?

apt-get clean
apt-get autoclean
apt-get update
apt-get install nitdroid-installer

Give those commands a go (enter after each one, and make sure you are connected to the internet!!!)

I THINK this is related to Low Battery, try turning the phone off, plugging in the charger and leaving it to charge!

Be careful though, NITDroid can be deceiving when it comes to shutting down! Yank the battery out to make sure its off, put it back in and leave it to charge for a while and start it back up!

This isn't an official fix its just what happened here and it seemed to do the trick! So again no raping please :)

Hope this helps!

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

it's already install by default, you just need to load it up

when you are on the home screen, use the lock button (the one next the headphone socket) click add, widgets and it should there

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

Another bug: Cannot download anything from the browser. Keep getting failed download trying to download setcpu from this thread and from my email after being unsucessfull on this site. :)

Anyone know how to fix the HW keyboard? It's not correct for me.

Ya, :( it always fails to connect :mad:

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

Replies:
1. For all people bugged on with the HW Keyboard, install this attached .apk in Nitdroid. Then go to settings ---> text input, then disable android keyboard and enable HTC IME.
2. For people who don't have an sdcard be sure that ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2
Reports:
1. I reverted back to 0.0.9, since the accelerometer is properly calibrated, and this is the most stable and usable version, till now.
2. Installed a couple of games:
Asphalt HD: Works like a charm
Angry Birds season: Working great
Need for speed SHIFT: Works like a charm
Hero of sparta: Works like a charm
Family guy uncensored: Working great
Gangstar west coast hustle: Working great, minor glitches in accelerometer can be avoided using touch control.
Opera Mini: Driving me crazy :mad:
I'll try my best to upload a video tutorial on how to install Nitdroid, not promising.

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

thankx for the reply but it still saying the same thing -sh: syntax error: "(unexpected when i try to update the gingerbread

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

a few questions..

1) maybe i'm just ******ed but the steps on the instructions are 1.2.3.4.5.and then 9

there's no step 6, 7, or 8? what the hell?

2) i've completed everything, steps 1-9 minues the missing ones obviously, and everything is fine except step 9. everytime i do that leafpad opens up and seems to open up a file called (1) at the top, but there's nothing in there. it's just a white page of emptyness.

3) this is technically a continuation of the previous question: when do i hit 'tab' in xterm? do i type the leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/1 command and then hit enter, and then go back to xterm after the n900 opens up leafpad and hit tab? what's the point of that. i'm confused.

(sorry if i'm just daft. i'm confused hands down.)

4) i tried rebooting (having not completed step 9) and multiboot loaded properly and everything, except that if i hit '0' it boots Maemo like it should, but if i click '1' it still boots maemo. what is going on?

thanks in advance. it would be great to get this working. i'm pretty sure this is some trivial issue, but i'm stuck.

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

Sir how do you revert back to 0.0.9
do i need to reinstall nitdroid installer or just copy the 0.0.9 img and kernel into the respective area and change the multi boot config file accordingly ?
appreciate very much if you can post a detail step by step on how to revert back to 0.0.9

thanks in advance

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

Just put the number 1 or 2 instead (x)

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

Dear all,

first thank you for the charm Gingerbread version.
I tried to install Skype, but first i can not fin in the Android store. So I downloaded it as APK File and installed it. Worked as it should.
But now when I try to sign in every time Skype stops working :(
Any ideas what the issue could be?

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

[Tab] is the soft key on the Xterm screen and this will auto-complete the command.

Do exactly as the instructions say:
leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/1 (then press tab on your screen)

This command should then complete with the name of your file to edit, so then press <enter> for leafpad to open the file for editing.

To see the multiboot item files you have available type:
ls /etc/multiboot.d/

You could provide the file name direct to leafpad with:
leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11-NITDroid-mmcbl... (etc. as per the filename)

Thank you very much @HammY

all working now. now i just have to get speed boosted because this thing is running slow. i thought 0.0.9 was supposed to be decent?

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

thanks for the reply but ive noticed if i go into settings, wireless and network settings, mobile network settings, access point name

it comes up with a page apn's and stays blank for some reason so i can't insert any settings?

any ideas? thanks for the help :)

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

Once your at that blank screen use the slider button on the right side of the phone which will bring up a window with Add APN. click that and enter your details as needed.

Hope this helps.

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

Hi all,

I'm looking to install Nitdroid for the first time. I followed the instructions on Page 1 but although the Multiboot loads, I only have 1 option.
Do I need to install 0.0.9 as well as gingerbread?

Sorry if it's a stupid question!

Cheers,

Bratac.

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

thanks :) comes up and i enter all my details but when i save it the apn's screen stays blank :(

any ideas? thanks bud

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

Nope.. Just install GingerBread. I followed the exact same steps and it works on my N900 :/. Are you sure that you didn't miss-type anything or skip steps?

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

Thanks Kevin, I don't think so. I will go through it again but just wanted to check I wasn't going down a blind alley.

Best wishes,

Bratac.

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

have got gingerbread up and running in emmc.

only two issues left
1) overclock the nitdroid. do i leave the oc profiles in /etc as it is or do i rename the file and move it to another locations

2) nitdroid detect my 8 gig sd card but also complain its damaged or corrupted. tried to reformat it in nitdoid without success
please help

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

DO NOT FORMAT SD CARD IN ANDROID!!! IT MAY FORMAT YOUR EMMC!! Corrupt SD Card becuase of remnants of 0.0.9. completely uninstall first.

Easiest way to overclock is buy setcpu attached on first post.

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

OFF TOPIC: Mido by any chance u know what to do with this question? here it goes:
i have my music and contacts in maemo so what do i have to in order to see those in nitdroid? or do u know a place where to find that info?

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

Can anyone recommend a good class 6 or 8 mmc that works well with Nitdroid?
I want to buy Kingston class 10 but some reviews say it's not much difference with class 6.. And kingston doesn't make class 6 and 8:(

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

You shouldn't have to do anything. If your installation is like mine(I haven't done anything special), my Maemo contacts appear in NitDroid and you can navigate to your .Sounds folder to see your music too.

If yours are not showing, perhaps there was an error with the installation. Have a browse around and see how you go.

Good luck!
