Its really awesome to run a different OS on the N900!!!

Any way for portrait mode?

Tomorrow I'll be showing off in our office :D

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I dont think that there will really happen something bad when R+D is enabled.
I just dont like the behavior of the N900 in that mode, like the display that lights up to much when it reports infos f.e. when the power button is pushed,battery put back in.....
Infos that may be good for the devs, not for me :)
I like the way Nitdroid works atm. (real nice Job everybody who works on that), but with all the not needed infos (again just for me :) ) it is getting annoying after a short time, so its a fun-killer to see some infos before you see the standby screen from Android.
Hope nobody gets me wrong here. Im not disappointed or angry or anything else. I liked nitroid in r+d mode. Just a fun-killer for me.. :)
Keep it kicking Guys !!!

Don't forget to donate to djsteve and eyess if you think it's worth the price of an app. Seen as there's very little for maemo it's only fair:)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

What directory are you in when you write this? You need to cd to your memory card.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I think I'm in the right directory.
I type
cd /media
ls
ubuntu show me the 2 partition on the memory card, one fat and one ext3

now type
cd 10b5b22d-c40b-c40b-4a75-b597-1f6b274d826f (is the ext3 partition)
wget http://www.loadsofspace.net/NITDroid...lair-WiFi.tbz2

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Try typing "sudo su", provide your password and then wget the file again.

EDIT: Write just "sudo" before wget instead.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Hi, Thanks for the tutorial but I am not able to get any folder in media after partitioning like here http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?t...900-step10.jpg

when i type cd /media/ and then ls, there is nothing in that :(

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

thankyou.....

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Are you sure the disk is mounted? If you just partitioned you might want to reboot the VM and re-mount the N900.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Ok, I did that. Now I am able to get that. I downloaded the file. I am using ubuntu live cd. I am unable to extract it. when i type

sudo tar jxvf nit..tar.bz2

it says read only file system, unable to extract, cannot mkdir etc :(

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Where is the file located? Try downloading it straight to the memory card and use the archive manager and put it in the memory card.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

The file is the mc folder only. some fab3b96b-05e9-4b56-af0e-250bd8e9842b but this place is read only filesystem only it says when i try to extract :(

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

but i have changed the permissions to 777
see here

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I asked this before but couldn't get any answer: Is there a way to map the home button to "power button", back button to "proximity sensor" and power switch to N900's switch?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Sorry, Im little lost in this thread after being away for few days ... can someone please point me on the current build image / post ?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

@avinashsonee: I'd try re-partitioning again.

@michalurban: Look at e-yes post's, Froyo is released and you'll need to flash a new zImage as well.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I have tried doing this again and again. repartitioning. can u plz tell me how do i change permissions of the memory card folder fab3b96b-05e9-4b56-af0e-250bd8e9842b. that would solve my problem

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Try "sudo mount -o remount,rw /media/fab3b96b-05e9-4b56-af0e-250bd8e9842b" or whatever the ext3 partition folder name is.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

ok i install android on sd and boot menu, but when power on n900 with qwerty open, n900 show me error kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init!
way?

sorry for my bad english

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

@ Tobyax:
Just re do it again and follow all steps.
Make sure you reformat your memory card.
Don't bother stuffing around - Redo all steps. Check gparted to make sure the partition is good (No triangle with !).

Happened to me yesterday. Redoing all steps fixed it all.
I'm triple booting! (2.1, 2.2 and maemo)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Sounds like you never flashed the kernel or disabled R&D mode. You should use this thread for help by the way: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=731777
What tutorial are you following?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

When RD mode is disabled, you get the ANDROID text, then it reboots.
You don't get kernel panic from disabled RD mode.
Could be kernel.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

What was the issue??

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

was an error in the file androd.etc.item in line 4


now hot to work wifi?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

this should help you:

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Having trouble getting this to work.

getbootstate: Invalid selection
Choose bootup option:
2) MMC
9) Start a shell.

I'm guessing the error is up further when I get:
EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "rpsize=1024" or missing value
mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p2 on /mnt/new_root failed: Invalid Argument
Command exited with non-zero status 255

I'm pretty sure I partitioned it correctly, followed both the guide on talk and on the nitdroid wiki. I originally tried with eclair and zimage0.0.3, but moved to zimage0.4 and Froyo and still getting same error. I'm certain my android.ext.item file is correct, not only have I rewritten twice, I also copied it straight from the wiki. Finally tried with mmcblk0 instead of {EXT_CARD} to the same effect. Help?

Also of note, further up on bootscreen its showing
mmcblk0: mmc0: (hexi crap) 1.89 GiB
mmcblk0: p1 p2

So the card is recognized and its finding the partition. I'm completely lost as to what Unrecognized mount option error means though.

EDIT: While I'm at it... any reason why a script file can't be made that'll auto format the microSD card in the N900 with Maemo (through xterm)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

SD Card is not being initialised.
You can try wait about 20 seconds at bootmenu, if not, start again, something went wrong.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Hmmmmm I may have solved the issue myself. Just went to do the process again and it looks like gparted wasn't doing the job properly, have chucked the gui and doing it manually with fdisk and it seems to be giving different results. Will edit it up if it works. Doh! Deleted my Froyo tar.bz2... redownloading on ISDN.. I'll update in an hour or so <.<

EDIT: Nope it hasn't helped. Started again a dozen times.. I must be missing something.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

is there a dual boot wiki anywhere?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

DJ_Steve, will you add the USB hostmode patch too? I don't know how stable it is as of late, but if/when it is stable...

When you boot up maemo normally does it boot into r and d mode?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

when i do this, it says

mount: cannot remount block device /dev/sdc2 read-write, is write-protected

somebody help. I am not able to use the ext3 folder to download the file and also not able extract :(

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

check to make sure your sd card isn't write-protected through hardware. there may be a switch on your microsd-to-sd/usb adapter. toggle it to the other position, then see if you can write to it (if you're using the n900 as your sd card reader, then this won't be an issue).
