looks like gaming without hardware gfx doesn't make much fun ;-)

3d games are always gonna be rather bad without the powervr going, thats being looked at as mentioned though :)

Motorola Milestone sources are here:
https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/g.../frs.milestone

I don't think that the PowerVR drivers are there, though.

I also found this:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pla....git;a=summary

Seems to be support for OMAP3 in the Android kernel. There will be interesting things in there :)

Looks like Maemo is faster, android seems to be a bit laggy on it with scrolling trough apps ect. Is this because it is in alpha status?

dj_steve 2010-07-03 10:19

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
yep at the min its because froyo is a lot heavyer on gfx and everything is done in software at min (no hardware 3d etc) eclair was a fair bit faster as its not so demanding, its becuase its still alpha build though yes

Hey dj_steve things are moving fast congrats.
Do you think Nitdroid Froyo on N900 will get everything worked out (excluding power managment and stability) before Motorola releases their OTA update to Froyo for the Droid/Milestone :) ?

dj_steve 2010-07-03 10:27

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
havent a clue, possibly possibly not, im not making any promises i cant be sure of

Looks like I'll have to get the new script with kernel flashing out soon ;)

dj_steve 2010-07-03 10:51

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
ok progress has been made folks, R&D is no longer a requirement, unless you want the battery reporting to work in which case it is - thats being examined

New kernel on the way? :p

dj_steve 2010-07-03 11:06

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
lol yea it'll be released soon along with rootfs to match it

dj_steve 2010-07-03 11:17

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
ok anyone who wants to play tester with new kernel/ rootfs shortly drop into the irc dev room (#nitdroid)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
dont have access to irc, but if you release an update a bit later today (got stuff to do now, so not got time) ill give it a go on my spare which is pure vanilla meamo at the moment

dj_steve 2010-07-03 12:26

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
*sonic* theirs web access to irc on nitdroid site lol

and ill be puttin up howto shortly

dj_steve 2010-07-03 12:48

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
ok here it is folks

Non-R&D Mode Kernel and RootFS

this will break the battery status reporting in nitdroid temporarily (e-yes new build when i get it will solve that likely)

Requirements
Experience in flashing kernels
rootsh on n900
*recommended* ssh on n900
bootmenu already installed and configured
previously partitioned card for nitdroid


these instructions are all to be done on the device except flash

start of instructions :
1. in xterm/ssh
Code:

sudo rootsh
cd /lib/modules
wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/djsteve/module.maemo.tar.gz
tar xzvf modules-maemo-2.6.28.NIT.01.tar.gz
cd 2.6.28.NIT.01
depmod -a 2.6.28.NIT.01
cd ..
rm current
ln -s 2.6.28.NIT.01 current

2. next mount your microsd cards nitdroid partition
Code:

mkdir /and
mount -o noatime,rw /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and

3. remove the current memory card data to allow for new rootfs
Code:

cd /and
rm -rf *

4. next we need to grab the rootfs:
Code:

cd /home/user/MyDocs
wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-FroYo.tbz2

5. extract rootfs
Code:

bzip2 -d NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-FroYo.tbz2
cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-FroYo.tar

6. ok thats the nitdroid side done now to flash the kernel:)
assuming your using a linux system here:

download this : http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/....NIT.01.tar.gz on your pc
extract file
Code:

tar xzvf http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/zImage-2.6.28.NIT.01.tar.gz
7. place your n900 into flash mode, then use this command:
assuming your using a old nitdroid kernel with R&D enabled

Code:

sudo flasher-3.5 --disable-rd-mode -f -k zImage-2.6.28.NIT.01 -R
YOUR DONE!!

should be able to boot android without r&d, no big changes in this rootfs except modules and no battery reporting at moment.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
hey djsteve, i take it android is booting from microsd card? but i thought the mounting the microsd card does not work in android?

dj_steve 2010-07-03 13:08

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
it does boot from microsd, and no the emmc wont mount in android (nor will microsds fat32) - bootmenu mounts the microsd ext3 so android can boot

rash.m2k 2010-07-03 13:15

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
ah I see. Im familiar with linux but the instructions seem a little confusing.

basicall I create a ext2 partition on my memory card, copy android files to it, install bootmenu and point it to my microsd partition then flash n900 with that new kernel - and then I can dual boot???

is that correct steve?

ToJa92 2010-07-03 13:15

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
@DJ_Steve: Shouldn't it be "sudo flasher-3.5 etc." in linux? :p

dj_steve 2010-07-03 13:17

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
not if ya runign as root anyway lol

edit: changed it

something like that, your probably wiser waiting until autoinstaller is updated to try it :)

A way to automatically install NITDroid on your N900, it will eliminate all the hard work required to do it :)

rash.m2k 2010-07-03 13:40

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
ah most likely some script, rather do it myself.

cheers steve, saved me about an hour of reading up on this

Honestly, I would rather see webOS on my N900 than Android. Of course, triple-booting would be a sweet option too!

dj_steve 2010-07-03 14:52

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 
ok howto on last page updated should work somewhat better - be sure to follow the steps properly

Is this e-yes's accelerometer-enabled kernel?
