@ PartyboyXP
emmc will always be faster and battery would last longer. either class 10 or class 8 is the same as emmc.

@Evildemon
use search the thread function.
8gb will be enough, i personally never used more then 2gb!!

I guess you mean *neither*

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

Well, if you truly read as you said, then by now you should know that Nitdroid will only take about 300MB, and it will have nothing to do with the extra 7.7GB of your memory card's space. Nitdroid will identify your internal storage the 27 GB one as its memory card, and the other 7.7GB as $hi*.

You will have to use a 7-zip archiver to extract the file. Once that is done, just follow the wiki. It worked for me.

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

Hi there, I could need some help here. I installed RC3 for testing, everything is fine except thr market... The "official" market fix just won't work... I even tried Market Enabler wich is preinstalled but misses the donation apk which refused to install due to not found in market and a simple "not installed" error message when trying a donate apk from Dr. Google. ;-)

So, does anybody got a full market in Gingerbead RC3 somehow and could me point to a proper fix?

Thx in advance,

..::J4ZZ::..

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

Thnx nafajafam, but in nitdroid wiki there is no guide of installing the custom 8g emmc, but if it is the same like the standard 2g emmc then i know how to flash it with the maemo flasher 3.5 tool for the pc
but i dont know if it is the same bin file as the standard

thnx

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

Guys :)
Please help me to mount my /etc (of maemo) to nitdroid partition.

I need to edit /etc/watchdog.conf (but maemo is crashed)

And where is all commands for Terminal Emulator?
Thanks!

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

Wow, your arrogance is dripping with that statement. Never mind that it discounts that people do know how to work with the whole thing. Not everyone on the outside is clueless, or wondering if it'll do calls. But if you want to generate flak, fine - not like you're short of that capacity.

Stability? Try not running down the battery so low, that maemo wisely gives up where Android on the N900 shouldnt be, trying to install things that assume portrait and crash on landscape, and/or knowing that Airplane mode doesn't always mean you have to clear parts of the filesystem off as previously instructed.

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

it is the same method as the standard 2G emmc. i flashed mine yesterday

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

You have to reflash your phone using the image. Search how to reflash N900.

PISSED OFF WITH NITDROID INSTALL!!!
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Guys, I really appreciate the efforts of people like eyes, jayc, ammyt etc. to try to bring android to the n900 masses. And dont take me wrong below. N900 is the best thing to have happened in my life.

But, I am really pissed off with the installation, and I believe there are thousands of similar people like me, who have a life to live and are ****ing away their hours solving problems without logic.

I have been trying for the past three weeks to install NITDroid on my machine, but couldnt. Read hours and hours of online forums here and on NITdroid.com that offer no concrete advice. And now I am really pissed off with the linux ways of doing things (FOSS up my ***).

1. Nitdroid auto installer
Royally ****ed up my microsd card by getting stuck at ext3 partition forever
I try to run different versions (from another forum), but in the end nothing works. My microsd card is now unusable

2. Ammyt's EMMC install procedure:
Problems:
a. the "...tar.bz2 file is not a bzip2 file" remark... I bypassed this problem by unzipping in PC and transfering the .tar file.
b. the "android not mounted" issue :
Did
------
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
------------
But then it says "Android not mounted on /and" WTF!!!!

How can a set of commands as written in the wiki, work for some and not work for some!!?!?!?! I went through the forum and saw many posts with similar problems UNSOLVED!.


In the end, I am here wasting over 3 weeks of precious time, over some crap that doesnt work...

congrats all for whom it is working... the linux randomness worked on your behalf

and all the *****es like me for which it has failed as above, my sympathies....

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

slap me once, shame on you
slap me twice, shame on me
slap me thrice, take the nitdroid up my @ss bit$h

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

What is it dude be coooool, god created the world in seven days, you can be a bit more patient.
Do this to solve your life-threatening problem
root
apt-get install filebox
then using filebox navigate to /home/and
mount /home /and
report here what files/folders you see in ./and/

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

Sorry people my internet got fUc^ed up during the last week,
but I'm back!

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

Ammyt, I respect you even more now for this instant reply!! You r my hero! Truly...

--------
In filebox, the /home/and directory is empty.

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

Won't we getting honeycomb soon? :D

This is stupid to ask but. Does Froyo will still have an update? I been using froyo since. it is more stable than Gangsta-bread. Thanks ammyt.

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

Okay.
mount /home /and
then report what do you see.

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

LOL Gangsta-bread, I like the name :D.
I believe 0.0.9 will be the last Froyo version, until ofono is fixed.
BUT prepare for the N11, it will blow your mind...
I <3 N11
N11 ROCKS!
VIVA N11!
N11 is the most stable, featured, cool, rooted, NITDROID version not only gingerbread version but NITDROID version. You're gonna love every bit out of it.

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

I just did mount /home /and
and I still see an empty /home/and directory

i.e. no files and folders

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

Then god knows where did you place android's system folders :D You see now? It is pretty natural that when installing the kernel, no android will be seen.
Can you tell me what version are you trying to install?

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

:D

i am trying to follow your first article word to word. therefore installing 0.0.9

++
In /and i see : 3 folders and opt and user

In /home/and i see : nothing

++

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

Don't ever dream about it, don't ever think about it! This is illegal stuff, mods delete his line.

LOL. Technically, Honeycomb requires massive CPU power and a massive 512MB+ RAM. You can get the CPU power with our good old OMAP, but once you get the RAM call me, to finish some unfinished business.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, no source code of Honeycomb yet. It probably is the end of open source android.

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

I trust you ammyt. You're probably the most nicest guy here in the community. no joke.

I want to try the N11. Since you said it was the most stable. Will i have to do a reflash for switching version?

Sorry for the noob questions. But. It is stable on the default kernel? 600mghz? Thanks ammyt. You're so patient to your clients :)

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

Im going now,
Topgear starts now on the BBC, cannot miss it!

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

LOL, thx for the compliments dude.
Ohkay so you wanna be a tester of N11? You do recognize that it is BETA software, and probably nobody will answer any problems you face in it. (There aren't any as far as I experienced, but you still can't start threads and/or discuss about it).
If you agree to the above statement, PM me.
It is very very stable on 250 600 MHz's, I'm running it that way. But if you want to squeeze a bit more performance, you can install setcpu for easy OCing in nitdroid.

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

Ok ammyt. Thanks for your time. I be waiting for your guides. Have fun :)

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

I suggest you delete the whole /and related stuff, and start over freshly then. 0.0.9 is great believe me.

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

thanks ammyt for helping me out....

in /
I have and, bin, boot, cdrom etc.

In /home folder
I have just deleted the /and folder as you pointed out

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

Sorry I could"t help you bro. Im such a noob in this kind of things. Maybe this will help me back up my apology. :D

Attachment 19293

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

no problem... i am actually happy you could install froyo on ur machine..

@ammyt, I just redid the entire thing, still blank

can u tell me what does the folder show if things were working right?

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

Hi there, I'd like my Nitdroid installation to use a FAT32 partition of my external micro sd as the sd card for data storage instead of polluting my MyDocs folder. Does anyone knows how to do that?

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

What is blank?
after you mount /home /and
go to the ordinary file manager, open it up, then you will see the N900 icon, with the memory card icon (if present) and a folder-like icon called and. There should be lots of folders and a couple of files there.

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

As a noob, i don't understand why all this "cd" in the install wiki
for me this is a same as :
it is more clear, no ?

Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - N11 RC(3) Out
 

guys it really feels dumb to be asking these questions....

but still, still, still i have no clue why this simple thing is evading my n900...

i tried every single combination again and again and again...


but the /and is not mounting!!!
