Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

you have to just wait. it takes a while...as it says.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

there was a new installer today that was released....how do we know when the new update will be released for the NITDroid itself?


i redid the installation and it wiped my previous version. :/ have to reset. oh well..at least its free.


so my question is when there is a new installer, would that suggest to reinstall nitdroid again if you already have it installed as there is an update? or not?

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

I have a question, i get updates from NITDroid-Installer, that means there is an update for NITDROID????

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Yeb, it's Installer Not new version of NITDroid. an old version is slow and unstable.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

do we have to have an SD card to use this??? thanks

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Yes and try to stay clean of the sandisk ones a few of them has issues and you will not be able to install NITdroid on them ;)

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

coolies, thanks... havent installed NITdroid for ages, might do it again soon.. :D

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Do I get it right - this is NITDroid all-in-one app that will perform every step written by dj_steve here?

And another question. Does a newer version of the app in repo updates NITDroid itself?

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Yes you're right, for now theres an autoinstaller but only as cli. You need to join this forum http://forum.nitdroid.com/ to get the latest installer and how to do it as far as i know, i dont think the new autoinstaller has been announced here. I get my info on the other forum ;)

It works like other apps, you opdate it through app mngr or fapman wich one you use :)

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Could you re-post this once again? Maybe with green color this time?

You already got answered, you need to wait for the formatting to finnish.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

It might be your sdcard that wont work or you're not patient enough?

If it's a sandisk card that might be the cause of the problem...

Try http://forum.nitdroid.com/ for more help, it's dedicated to NITdroid, bigger change to get it solved there than here ;)

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Lol made my day D-Iivil :D Hahaha...

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Yes, I have had 2 brand new sd cards fail. 4GB Sandisk and an 8GB Kingston. But got NitDroid working with the installer on an old 1GB card taken out of an old mobile phone.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

I have done 3 versions and i put them on the testing section of the nitdroid forum. I am curently working to make a better one :). Just to give you some info: The first version uses a progress bar and updates it only 4 times, which is boring (that version tested and works) . Version 2 fills the bar more smoothly and i also added more "update points" to the progress bar, but doest updates progress bar during download :(. And version 3, has the updates from the previous ones, and i added a progress bar to every file (i think there are 10) that is being downloaded during the auto-installer that updates during download and also shows download speed and eta :eek:........ I am waiting testers to answer me if v2 and v3 work.

LOL dude, if we need to enlarge the font, we can just control+scroll, but thats very considerate of you :)

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

@brokensmile - relax.

It can take a LONG time to format the card and install Android. I would suggest, if you can't wait for it to complete on its own, that you follow through the install script manually and do as many of the steps as you can on your desktop computer - it is running Linux right? Right?

All in all what is happening behind the scenes is a non-trivial procedure - depending on what your N900 has installed, maybe it works, maybe it doesn't.

You don't need us to tell you to try a different memory card, just try it.

Omg ...................

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Please do not make the font SO BIG or CHANGE COLOR like that. You won't get any more help by doing that. Infact, people will help you less.

btw, my 4GB MicroSD took less than 1minute to format both partitions. There is something wrong with your card or your current state of N900 imo.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

And to point out another thing... Do stop demanding things here on TMO and people will be more helpfull... If you choose a BUT in a sentence like you do above, you delete all stated before the BUT and therefore the first stated will have no meaning at all just the stated after the BUT. So in this case all thats left is a demand and nothing else;) Just a pointer for the future...

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Guys, is there an easy uninstaller for NitDroid. Removing any multiboot on the N900 and anything else? I presume all of the install apart from the multiboot is on the sd card?

I have installed with the installer which worked perfectly.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

There's a nitdroid-uninstaller script which is installed as part of the nitdroid-installer package. I've not run it, but it looks to uninstall everything from the Maemo filesystem. It doesn't appear to touch the SD card or the Android settings in MyDocs though.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

I had the "bailing out" problem. In my experience, it is totally bs to say that one should hang on after getting that message. If the N900 turned off, how long should you hang on? Six weeks or so would do no good.

What I did to get it to work was back up and completely reflash. Then it worked, I restored everything and it was fine. But getting "bailing out" over and over (which I did at first) didn't help a bit.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

when i update th e nitdroid repository. it updates, but it says that no application is available. Is the repository facing problems or did i did something wrong??? i am sure everything is entered correctly.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Dude.. Chillax. This is Linux, there are loads of errors and problems. I am having problems installing Nitdroid as well.

My install hangs during the " Formatting /dev/mmcblklp2 (ext3) " stage. I left it during the night and woke 8hours later with no changes.

Follow this threadfor more help.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

I was having the same problem: stuck on "formatting /dev/mmcblk1p2 (ext3)...."

I have a 4GB SD card (not sandisk).
Solution: Execute the manual installation up to step 4 (even if some step may fail), after step 4, type nitdroid and go through the automatic process, worked for me.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

YUP, just found out the same too, manully partition your SD card from above post, then follow thru the installation, will work.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

I can confirm that this worked for me. Surprisingly, it worked even if I'm a SANDISK 16gb Class 2 user.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

i installed android, but how can i close an application after i open it which key to press???

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

well you cant actually close it (you need a task manger) but the switch that we normally use to turn the screen back on is "Back".

Suggestion: Advance task manger is pretty good
