I'm working on a Noob's guide for installing NITDroid. I'm trying to be as simple as I can and also explain all the steps. Motivate me with hitting thanks please :p

Sneak peak here: http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?t...de_to_NITdroid

Also, DO NOT FOLLOW THAT GUIDE. Its incomplete and steps may be wrong.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Everything worked fine for me.

List of bugs/ not functional stuff.

- Bootmenu, My Android partition is 3rd on the list, bootmenu shows Android on 2nd

- Wifi is indeed not working anymore.

- Battery not working anymore

- reboots alot when trying to boot into Maemo

Other then that, I see alot of new stuff and improvements !

Great job guys, alot of progress !


One question, does R&D mode need to be enabled for booting into Maemo and Android ?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

nope the 0.0.5 versions dont need r&d anymore

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

AFAIK you don't need R&D mode on the latest releases.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Steve, my phone doesn't boot into Maemo when not in R&D mode, is loads, shows the bootscreen, then black screen

Also, Hows the progress going with Network / 3G ?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

dj_steve I tryed the "turn wifi on > reboot" idea, no luck

to everyone else, A way to speed up android right now is to disable animations, goto settings > display > Animation > off

i tried renaming sensors.nokia.so to sensors.nokia.so.vintage and removing the original, should this disable Accelerometer? and will i see notable increase in performance?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

yep and probably not - its due to lack of 3d drivers at min

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

well i tried, and its a touch faster.

i also prefer the "do it on the device" method, as my computer is an arse when it comes to tars on linux

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

how do i do this:

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


in terminal i do:
mkdir ENTER
then it says usage: mkdir OPTION DIRECTORY....
and when i do everything behind eachother:
mkdir mount -o noatime,rw /dev/mmcblk1p2 /

i get the same error

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

i think i found it

i entered: mkdir and ENTER
then: mount -o noatime,rw /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and ENTER

but then i get mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk1p2 on /and failed: no such file or directory

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

There is a support thread,
but you are doing the mkdir command wrong, its and make sure you run this as root.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

i'm root

but then: mount -o noatime,rw /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and ENTER

but then i get mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk1p2 on /and failed: no such file or directory

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Im going to assume your not typing enter, did you partition your sdcard?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

nope it isn't mensioned on page 215. how do i do this? is it the autoinstaller?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

using the autoinstaller would be simplest way to

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

can i do this now? even if i did the first steps on page 215 and when that is done i can go backt to the mount code where i stopped?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

formating will take you back to step one, do this in maemo term
replace 128 with the size of fat32 partition in mb [so 128 is 128mb], that is NOT for android the remaining space will be used for android

there will be a warning page press enter, after that step you will see a second warning sign, press ctrl+c to cancel and then follow the steps here

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

and then i have to do all the steps again with installing bootmenu2??? and all the other stuff?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

skip the bootmenu,
but the extracting android image parts need to be done

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

ok so now i'm running autoinstaller

then i have to flash

and then i have to start with this:

3. Mount your android partition and install rootfs (this will wipe out previous data so backup anything you want)
Code:

cd /
mkdir and
mount -o noatime,rw /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
cd /home/user/MyDocs
wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/NITDro...oYo-GAPPs.tbz2
bzip2 -d NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-1-FroYo-GAPPs.tbz2
cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-1-FroYo-GAPPs.tar
cd ..
umount /and
rmdir /and


but why not install bootmenu2?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

because you said you did already. Bootmenu is on n900 memory not sd so it will still be installed.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

i did everything but when i'm back in terminal and i type

mkdir and

it says mkdir: cannot create directory and: file exists

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

its fine, just do the mount command, you made the /and directory already

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

not bang head against the wall

when i do mkdir /and

same thing: file exists

when i go further:

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

it says:

mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk1p2 on/and failed: no such file or directory

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

try mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

no still the same and i'm root
