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

hey

android can't see ur music and videos because music folder in maemo is .music and so it's hidden so copy them to another folder

and try player pro for music , it works ver good

about contacts , connect ur n900 to pc suite and select all ur contacts and copy them to any folder and then copy this folder to ur mobile and open nitdroid

then open contacts and choose import/export then choose import from sd card and then copy all and u wiill have all conatcts in nitdroid :)

Re 1):

Overclocking and power management is managed by the file: /and/system/etc/power.conf

In Xterm:

root
mount /dev /and
cd /and/system/etc

Copy in your suitably named modified file(s), rename the current 'power.conf' file (to keep an original copy), then rename you required file 'power.conf'

The Android widget 'Temp+CPU V2' is useful to confirm current CPU speed, usage & temperature.

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

I got this to work for me following the instructions, but I've just noticed something today. I may have somehow mounted too much stuff to /home somewhere along the line. What's the best way to check which mountings I don't need. I have run the mount command in xterm and I believe the erlevant section I have are:
/dev/mmcblk1p1 on /media/mmc1
/dev/mmcblk0p1 on /home/user/MyDocs
/dev/mmcblk0p2 on /home

I believe the last one there is where the android files got set up.
Is there any other/better ways of checking this?

The reason I am checking this out is because I looked at the DiskUsage app and my /home is full. All the characters are screwed up and just show up as squares now and I cannot update anything ( because it thinks /home is full.

If there is any linux experts who could lend a hand I'd be very grateful. Any other other things to try would also be appreciated.

Thanks for all the great work so far:)

Gingerbread:

Browser keeps crashing whenever I opened it.
Is this a bug?

The home screen keep rotating to upside down.

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

its the new google theme, when you start the browser immediately press stop and reasign another homepage. google.com works

can't install Angry Birds and Can't find any games :( Only found the crappy one

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

Read the first post.
Particularly APP Market Fix (should help with Market) and Kernel update for Nitdroid (ability to install apps on SD, which is required by Angry Birds).

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

How do you do a clean reinstall of NITDroid? I want to go back on 2.2.1 but everytime I reinstall 2.2.1 I got billions of errors on screen something stopped working ...blah.

I assume you have installed NITdroid with nitdroid-installer.

1. First, open Xterm and drop to root.

2. Mount your nitdroid partition on /and.

Code:

mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and -o noatime


3. Run the uninstaller scripts.

Code:

nitdroid-uninstaller


4. Unmount

Code:

umount /and


5. If you are not going it install NITDroid again, you can also remove nitdroid-installer:

Code:

apt-get remove nitdroid-installer

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

Thanks.......

I did that and this is what I get... Please help.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libwrt-api1: Depends: libwrt1 (= 1.1.0) but it is not going to be installed
nitdroid-installer: Depends: multiboot (>= 0.2.10) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: multiboot-kernel-maemo (>= 0.3) but it is not going to be installed
qtwrt: Depends: wrt (= 1.1.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: wrt-api (= 1.1.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)

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

what would happen if i were to type unmount all? Would it unmount the internal emmc too? Would it load up on reboot again? I haven't been able to fix my full /home yet and it must be something I did while copying android from sd card.

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

first, as the other guy said, how do i remove gingerbread?
if im correct, files are extracted in home and formatting that will remove ALL the data

2nd.. gingerbread wont run.. red light.. android loading logo keeps on running.. its like an infinite boot loop..
any ideas?

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

Browser glitch happened here too, I fixed it by doing this:

Go to the search option,
Search for anything,
Navigate to Google.com using the address bar at the top,
Set this page as Homepage,

Browser SHOULD open up fine! I don't know why but it seems to have done the job for me, if it fails, try a different page like maemo.org as the homepage :P

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

Hey guys I am looking to try NITDroid so I would like to which one should I try

1. NITDroid 0.0.9 (Froyo)
2. Gingerbread by e-yes
3. Gingerbread by mido.fayad

Which one has the root access & wont cause much problems after installing?

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

If your after stability go for 0.0.9 as gingerbread is an experimental release at the moment. As for root access gingerbread does not have it yet but you might be able to do it in 0.0.9.

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

I'm currently running gingerbread with the new kernel from an 8gb class 6 Transcend SD card and it works great. Has good speed and very few force close errors.

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

You won't need an sdcard!

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

That does it! I'm going to update the first post with instructions for installing, and follow them step by step!

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

What you talking about ammyt. What does it?? :confused:

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

Getting PM'd for such stupid questions, (sorry I am forced to say it this time). I updated the first post, just issue the commads as written there and you (everybody) will be fine. AND I REPEAT, DO NOT RUN THE INSTALLER FOR NITDROID (NITDROID INSTALL) ICON IN THE APLICATION MENU, JUST DOWNLOAD IT VIA XTERM, THEN DO AS WRITTEN.

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

Finally we can play Angry bird season

Ha Ha Ha

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

I followed all the instructions for installing gingerbread to the emmc(internal storage) in the n900 and the boot menu kept stalling and I couldn't select the second option to boot andriod and booting maemo failed, I suspect the power kernal again is causing issues :(

Anyway the only way I could fix this was going to mcdonalds lol :D as my cell phone provider is my only access online and I used there wifi but they have a download restriction so after every 12 mb of data downloaded the connection brakes so, I used Firefox and the flash got addon and used wget using the flash got link option by right clicking on the link and so even if the connection brakes it just reconnects and carries on downloading the data into the same file.

And the re flash went smoothly suprisingly and was a success and no data corruption :)
Thanks maccys "a big mac and a flash" lol :D

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

OK I think I narrowed my problem down to this line:

/dev/mmcblk0p2 on /home

Could somene a bit more learned in linux please confirm that this is not the n900s own internal storage before I attempt to unmount this. Also, will the command "unmount /dev/mmcblk0p2 " do the trick?

The full text of the line as it appears when the mount command is entered is:

/dev/mmcblk0p2 on /home type ext3 (rw,noatime,errors=continue,commit=1,data=writebac k)

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

it's umount not unmount
why do you want to umount internel drive?

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

I DON'T want to unmount the internal drive- That's why I want to check that before I go ahead. I posted up a page or 2 back that somehow I must have mounted something I wasn't supposed to when copying from my sd card to internal emmc. I think that is why my /home says it is full on DiskUsage app and app manager won't let me update anything, even though when I look in Midnight Commander it says there is space in there. The conclusion I came to was that I left something mounted that was not supposed to be mounted- but I don't have the skills or knowledge to know what- so that is why I am checking.

Any ideas:)?
