Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

I don't know if it's been mentioned before or already thought of (there's too many "plz halp" requests in this thread to see and searching returns no results)

Anyway, since the fcamera/fcam source code and API has been released, is it possible to "use" the drivers for that to get the camera working in NITDroid?

I can't program at all myself, just thought it might be useful for those of you who have been doing such a good job so far!

When NITDroid gets telephony support and better, less buggier GPU support, I'll probably use it as my default OS heh.

pro tip. If you slide your finger from off screen where the notification tray is, you will grab it every time.

Hey guys.
I've done the whole process but when i tried to boot into nitdroid it just didn't do anything. Tried to boot for a split second and brought me right back to the multiboot screen.
I think this is related to a problem I had where with step 6. The NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-4-Final.tbz2 and nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-05_final1_armel.deb files in MyDocs. I just decided it simpler to go and manually put them in there and ran again. It came up with this.
Nokia-N900:/and# cd /
Nokia-N900:/# mkdir /and
mkdir: cannot create directory '/and': File exists
Nokia-N900:/# mount -t ext3 -o noatime,rw /dev/mmcblk1p2 /andmount: mounting /dev/mmcblk1p2 on /and failed: Device or resource busy
Nokia-N900:/# cd /home/user/MyDocs
Nokia-N900:/home/user/MyDocs# bzip2 -d NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-4-Final.tbz2
-sh: bzip2: not found
Nokia-N900:/home/user/MyDocs# cd /and
Nokia-N900:/and# tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-4-Final.tar
tar: can't open '/home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-4-Final.tar': No such file or directory

I'm clearly a nub on these things and would appreciate some help. Thanks :)

Oh and forgot. I DID do the rest of the steps before I tried booting up. So that's not it :D

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

You need to install bzip2 (apt-get install bzip2 as root)

then you should be ok

as for mounding android as and, try again when its not as busy (are you root?)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

Also, I think you need kexec-tools to properly install the multiboot
apt-get install kexec-tools

so, do all the commands up until the mounting of your mmc. see if it mounts properly. if not, retry the mount command until it mounts. then, continue with the rest of the commands

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

Root I was. Ok. Let me install it and report back. Thanks for quick reply :D
