Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

I can upload my kernel image, just let me know where.

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

throw me a pm dogg ill give ya a ftp login

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

I'm willing to host it if you like - i have plenty of server access :)

edit: dj_steve beat me to it xD

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

lol joys of having 4 servers myself lol.. ftp info pm'ed bdogg

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

Its there :D . I uploaded the zImage and wifi module

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

links lol ?

Those are awesome Helmy (especially the last 2 :P). Though sadly I don't have the font, I had to use Photoshop to make it, I can't seem to find the original or a copy anywhere online.

However I did just finish my 1st 7 wallpapers(I intend to make more), it's a 1mb~ zip file located on my Dropbox:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4567036/NITDROID_wallpapers.zip

I used a lot of brush files from Deviant Art, if you're interested in who's brushes were used, I've attributed the authors in a txt file located in the zip. If you redistribute any of these files remember to attribute the authors, they worked hard on these brush sets and deserve the credit! :)

Other then that, use as you see fit, and enjoy! ^_^

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

For those who don't want to fiddle with compiling and all that jazz, I uploaded the rootfs I used to boot android 2.1 on the N900.

http://nitdroid.loadsofspace.net/n90...oid-2.1.tar.gz

Use root to extract it to an ext3 partition on your card.

Only for testing of course. The backspace key is the "back", and the symbol key is the "menu". Had to map them to something.

Enjoy :)

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

I think that Android 2.1 is based on 2.6.29 kernel.
Should you use that kernel also in this port because there were some discussion how android parts are maintained and that is why they removed android part from mainline kernel?

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

I will have to check that. I'm still having issues getting my own kernel to even load.. how is everyone compiling the kernels here ? None of mine boot

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

I downloaded the kernel from the maemo 5 sdk, which gave me kernel_2.6.28.orig.tar.gz and kernel_2.6.28-20094102.3+0m5.diff

After extracting the kernel and patching it with the diff file I had a working kernel. From there I patched it with the android kernel patches.

Your situation is a little different from mine since your using the n810 with a mainline kernel. Maybe the original nitdroid_kernel.config will give you an idea of which one to use.

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

yep looked at the config its based off 2.6.28. It has loadable module support so may be able to load modules to the kernel that way

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

ok i am a new n900 user willing to test anything on my device i supose i got to fill the 48 gb with something.do you think we can have a stable release of android on n900 soon? allways dreamed of android running on nseries tablets as i have had them all n900 being my current device.the main thing that i think is if it happens it should be a easy installation this will ensure instalation to the masses good luck i will be watching very close.

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

i am trying to get all sort of os-s on my n900 just to shut the f up my iphone friends and their constant response "it doesnt even have native mms support" (dont know why this is so important!?)

i am looking at those instruction for android and got scared :) i dont even know where to get bootmenu (cant find files in the garage)

anybody want to help the noobie? :)

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

ill leave a howto up to bdogg. as for getting a workingos etc running well thats going to take work.

has anyone got access to a full technical data doc for the n8x0 and n900 tablets showing what chips do what so i can try and find kernel modules for them/android edits

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

can we have a working and not working list in each devices as updates come out make it look clean and easy to keep track of.and a easy to understand guide for instalations so even noobs can find it easy to follow.

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

www.nitdroid.com has a fairly well organized list of what is and is not workin :)


EDIT:

this looks like it may be useful > my current error <3>soc_camera: version magic '2.6.32 preempt mod_unload ARMv6 ' should be '2.6.28-nitdroid preempt mod_unload ARMv6 '

that error is what i expected to get and easyily fixed (ignore the modulei was just compiling a small module as test(for the n8x0 camera) ) so im tryign to compile sound subsystem now as module see if i can import it to a running kernel

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

Here is a page I used that has very good references for the N900.

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

sweet cheers :) also think i may of found half the problem with BT on the n8x0 too.......

hci_h4p hci_h4p: firmware: requesting bc4fw.bin

that firmware doesn seem to exist anywherre though :S

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

I have the Nokia N900 hardware schematic, Hardware layout diagram , and the service manuals, I'll upload them to nitdroid.com Under N900 > Hardware specs

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

cheers helmy that'll be useful. if anyonem has a service manual for the n8x0 series id appreciate it to.

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

My N900 doesn't seem to want to boot after flashing bdogg64's kernel image. Has the kernel image been signed by fiasco-gen? if not, what are the command line arguments to preform this task?

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

im fairly certain you dont flash the kernel on the n900 according to some of bdoggs previous posts hes using bootmenu to do it

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

correct me if i'm wrong but from what i've seen, the stock maemo kernel doesn't provide resources necessary to boot android hence why you need to patch and install a custom kernel in order to get Android to boot on the N900 - the bootmenu only allows you to switch from Maemo to Android ;)

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

pass, but im sure he has it booting a diff kernel from bootmenu

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

Untill kexec is fully working on the arm architecture, you cant really dual boot different kernels on the N900, which is why i'm certain that flashing the kernel is necessary in order to boot Android. :)

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

pass, i havent got 900 so cant comment

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

Unfortunately, bootmenu didn't show my freshly minted android.ext3.item... in fact, booting with the keyboard open had no noticeable effect. Perhaps bootmenu is buggy with PR1.1.1? Anyone have a suggestion as to something I can try. I'm so close to get a "testable" system!

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

I didn't use faisco-gen to sign the kernel image. I just compiled the zImage using the scratchbox compiler. Does it hang at the boot screen?

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

bdogg64: yes

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

have you tried re-installing the bootmenu? what do you have in android.ext3.item?

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

After you install the bootmenu, you have to go to the apps and click 'Install bootmenu'

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

Try re-downloading the zImage and flashing again. I hadn't had any issues with the kernel builds, but of thats the case when its just one person :rolleyes:

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

after instaling bootmenu, and run app 'Install bootmenu', i still dont get in bootmenu after booting with keyboard open, i am on PR 1.1.1

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

perhaps it is because i am on PR 1.2?

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

I'm gonna assume 1.2 isn't out yet, but I suppose its possible depending on what kernel 1.2 is using.

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

EDIT: it turns out that i miss-read my system info *slaps himself with a fish* :p
it turns out that i am using PR 1.1 :p

I tried re-downloading your kernel image but i'm still having the same issue :(

do you have an md5 for the kernel image by any chance?

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

61e2d74152ca8942affe3cecfcfab710 (if thats wrong, forgive me)

Just another FYI, this doesn't allow you to dual boot as it is only for testing at this point unless you build the kernel and modules yourself and update your /lib/modules
