Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

followed instructions from #2142:

android boots fine, wifi doesnt work after a few restarts

but i cant boot in to maemo with keyboard closed also, it just keep restarting :S

EDIT: flashed again, now maemo boots ok, but wifi in android still doesnt work

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

the wifi prb could be a chmod fault?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I am waiting for the autoinstaller.

I have a burning question. If flash 10.1 is enabled on NITdroid it makes the device very warm as djsteve mentions in his YT video. Is that the reason why we dont/wont have flash 10.1 for maemo?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

for autoinstall you can copy all steps and make a file.sh ánd paste the text in it...then run it on the n900...

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Im guessing the heat comes from cpu stress, wich most people could guess would happen in NITdroid, since it dosent support the n900 GPU (yet), therefor when running flash content, the CPU alone does all the work and then it becomes hot really fast.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

the device gets warm as android doesn scale cpu clock properly yet. and in my yt vid it got hot due to overclock

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Mmm.. i must admite to have the same sensation

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

:( Bad luck ,, my phone is bricked while flashing

Any one could give me instructions to flash the kernel using windows ???

Please need this really fast!

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Here's the wiki to flashing a device

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I know how to reflash the phone ,,

But I want to flash zImage Kernel in windows

The one posted in #2142

I'm getting an error at step :
softupd: command not found

Please I really need a fast reply

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

i am waiting for some easier way or guide to install this on my phone so far i could do is partition the sd card 1st partition of 200mb ext3 and 2nd 2gb 3ext3 and 3rd 1.7gb fat 32. after that i am lost. followed the guide in nitdroid and even on the forums.
hopefully there will be a easier way to install this just one flash of a kernal in N900 and put the neccesary files in sd and download bootmenu and you are done. ohh yeah i also have the bootmenu downloaded, but just cant get anything afterthat because i do not understand.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

sudo gainroot
softupd -vv -s --local

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

not booting into Maemo through the new bootloader.

but works just fine with the keyboard closed.
loving the update, but unusable because its painfully slow :(

nonetheless great work! :D

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

This thread is better than reading the latest Harry Potter, keep up the excellent work gents!

I'll prob wait for the autoinstall as I am a total n(b)oob when it comes to Linux. But you guys, awesome!

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Thinks it because auto rotate is enable in this build,
and can take alot of cpu cycles. try disabling...

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Thanks Jay-C

do we install like before? :
Edit: don't worry think its working. Thank you!

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Yes that's the way.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

THX Jaz-C works waaaay better now. Runs well with keyboard open. Keyboard closed does some kind of reboot but then it boots up :) Had this twice with cosed keyboard. Maby just my Phone....

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Yes some people are seeing this.
It is still unclear why it happens, but please use the 'b' key to boot with the old script _IF_ this is a problem.

cheers

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Jay-C , the same as another poster earlier,
I am unable to boot from no.1 on the boot list 'android external sd, partition 2' but can from no.3 'external mmc p2'
this happens in both versions, do you think it's because of an pre-existing config file?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

It's not becouse of pre-existing conf file...i just reflashet my n900 and installed nitroid and same problem

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I removed that android config file and i worked :)
in that "clean" bootmenu i choose partition 2 and android boots well

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

yeah that worked from the start, but why have a separate instance
for android(which doesn't seem to work)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Android has a little lag in the menu :(

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

hi guys..i'm trying to install android to my N900..but..i'm totally lost in the preparation step..

the line said "To the far right you'll see a folder with a green arrow pointing upwards, press it. Then press add and find the downloaded image. Choose 'Select' and then 'OK'."

what and where is the downloaded image?what image?

i've already downloaded VirtualBOX..and installed it too..but whenever i press START(green arrow) it says "FATAL : NO BOOTABLE MEDIUM FOUND! SYSTEM HALTED!..what did i do wrong?

i've ticked in the USB -- > N900 (Mass Storage Mode) still not working..

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

try the autoinstaller

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

-Download and install maemo flasher 3.5
-Download kernel and put it folder C:\program files\maemo\flasher-3.5\
-Open console and cd to C:\program files\maemo\flasher-3.5
-write command "flasher-3.5 -f -k KERNELIMAGENAME" and hit enter
-Replase KERNELIMAGENAME ec. zImage..somethin (what is your downloaded kernel name)
-N900 remove battery and open keyboard
-N900 connect cable
-N900 press and hold u button and put battery back
-when done reboot your device

Hope this will help.

That's the instructions I used. If that doesn't work, go to the Help thread:

It's outdated though and will probably not work yet(I'm working on a newer version)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Hmm, does this need a specific version of Maemo

Im getting an error on the softupd -vv -v --local

unrecognised option --local

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

:P when you get this done will the wiki be update? i want to dual boot but i am totally loss with so many rapid changes

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

I think this is a funny question ,,

But how can I run Xterm on UBUNTU ?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Applications > Terminal

Why don't you guys use the help thread?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Seems it was added to PR1.1, guess ill have to update the firmware on Maemo first

Now if updating the firmware will I have to go through the whole process of adding Android again (following all of the steps in dj_steves post #2142)

Are you trying to say that my common problems have been encountered by others and have been answered before? Blasphemy...

Mr. dj_steve ,, I'm having a problem with flashing the phone in Linux ( tried Linux mint & ubuntu )

may you please write a command to flash using windows as you've done for the old kernel here:

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

You mean the questions regarding Android Marketplace? And just because your question is unique does it have to be posted on the development thread of NITDroid? :p
