maemo.org - Talk - The Grand NITDroid Thread

this is mostly due to conflicts in your emmc. Try hooking ur device usb mass storage mode in maemo 5 to your pc and right click it then chec for errors. Also go to settings--> memory and check your memory for installable apps

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

go back to maemo, and click format on ur sd card in default file manager, but that will eventually erase all ur sdcard data

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

OK guys im having an issue with installing NITDroid, if you can help a n900 user out that will be much appreciated.

ok i have gone and got this link.
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...light=NITDroid

now i had a major issue that when running this:

root
cd /home/user/MyDocs
bzip2 -d NITDroid-0.0.9.tar.bz2
cd /home
mkdir /and
cd /
mount /home /and
cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-0.0.9.tar
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-kernel-Mido.Fayad.deb

it installed the .tar into my rootfs, then the error saying i do not have enough free space.
the first time i didnt relise this and put in the last step:

leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/1

and it went through to open leafpad but there was nothing there.

just to let you know i want to install NITDroid on a MMC.

i have gotten rid of the junk in the rootfs and is all back to normal, actually have saved some space now im running at 84.28 mb free. (via conky).

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

Hey guys i need a little help. So i followed the instructions straight through installation of Gingerbread on my eMMC and after rebooting and trying to get into android, it tries to boot 2.3, but then it fails and i see alot of failure messages but the last thing it says is :

critical process 'service manager' exited 4 times in 4 minutes: <then something about starting recovery mode>

then the phone immediately reboots. I have also installed multiboot for the power-kernel (for overclocking) and i have 3 entries in my boot screen(omap kernel, power kernel and nitdroid).

Does this not work with the power-kernel? Did i do something wrong?

Thanks!

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

Just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone involved in making NITDroid so easy to install. I got my 8gb Samsung Class6 yesterday and installed 0.0.8 using the autoinstaller in 15 mins (thanks to DjSteve and e-yes). And it ran very smoothly without any lag.
Today i decided to update to 0.0.9, this time took 5min (thanks to this tutorial and Xuggs http://xuggs.blogspot.com/2010/12/ni...xmasdroid.html). The bug fixes all worked like a charm, and everytime i have googled a question i may have, i've been directed to this site.
All in all the whole thing has been incredibly easy, and it is in no small part due to threads like this.
Regards
Stefan

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

Hi, sorry if I'm being lazy, but if someone remember, can someone say (or point me to the post with the explanation) what will happen if I try to install Gingerbread while I already have Power Kernel installed? I mean, will anything bad happen, can somewhat, should be as good as with the stock kernel (I'm afraid that while booting, something bad can happen like not recognizing kernels or something)?

Thank you!

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

i'm not sure if i have successfully updated to 0.0.9 (i manually installed it on my memory card, but it didn't indicate any form of success), but i think based on questions, you guys can tell me right which version i have?

1. can the main menu rotate landscape? the rest of the applications can, but the main menu doesn't rotate.

2. when does the vibration work? in my phone it kicks in whenever i hold the power button and when i type on the onscreen keyboard.

3. why can't i disable the airplane mode? i'm using my N900 offline (no sim card), so will it automatically activate to airplane mode whenever there's no sim card?

4. why does the browser keep crashing?

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

It says in the instructions

Nitdroid 0.0.9:
http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/...-0.0.9.tar.bz2

OR

Nitdroid Gingerbread:
http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/gingerbread.tar.bz2

Whats the difference?

Code:

root

mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and

cp -rp /and/* /home

leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11 (then tap the tab button, .item file will show, hit enter to open it in Leafpad).

Edit .item file to look like this:

ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.NIT.06

ITEM_MODULES=ext3 fat vfat

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

Hey.
It looks OK (for booting Nitdroid without EXTCARD installed), but I assume You do have an SD card in Your device?
Then try changing this line
ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p2
to
ITEM_DEVICE=${INT_CARD}p2

And I do see other difference, but not sure about their responsibility. Please see my files (all working):

~ $ cat /etc/multiboot.d/10-NITDroid-mmcblk0p2-2.6.28.NIT.06.item
ITEM_NAME="NITDroid 2.6.28.NIT.06 on mmcblk0p2"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.NIT.06
ITEM_MODULES=ext3 fat vfat
ITEM_DEVICE=${INT_CARD}p2
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,commit=3

~ $ cat /etc/multiboot.d/100-NITDroid-mmcblk0p2-noSD-2.6.28.NIT.06.item
ITEM_NAME="NITDroid 2.6.28.NIT.06 on mmcblk0p2 no SD"

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

it will be just as fast as internal memory, you wont feel much difference.. however the battery life isnt great on memory card..

@arono it is recommended to install gingerbread from scratch howver you can install over 0.0.9 but dont blame me if anything goes wrong

thanks for reply but I know how to overclock it but the problem is to overclock n900 on maemo you need enhanced kernel which I am not able to download because of the conflicts with kernel-maemo-modules, kernel-maemo, can you help on that to me????

NOKIA N900 - MULTIBOT
press a key to select
