Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

please sir.. Any ways i can format the memory card from my pc to ext3 ? In simple ways please !

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

ok, i am stupidly impressed!!!!!
autoinstaller didnt work for, but it dont see the point of it anyway, installing it is easy enought by following instructions. so i got it to work!!!!

i am so impressed, i was expecting it to be laggy and continuouly crashing, but boy i was wrong!!!!!

thank you soooooo much to the nitdroid team, keep up the fantastic work! hopefully you guys can also get this working on the n9 that would be fantastic!

oh any pointers to how i can get the 3g to work? and anything else aswell?

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

SHH to the phone from the PC??

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

yes. i have a memory card reader. can any one tell me what program i use to partition to EXT3 so i can continue to install nitdroid

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

Sorry but I did read a lot on the wiki but did still not find the answer how to access the menu.


http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?t...2Fprox_keymaps

Slider takes me back
Camera Button takes me home
Power well is power
Volume

So how do you guys access the menu when you are in an application on NITdroid?

Markus

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

No need of a PC actually to format your microSD card. You can do it on the N900 itself.

I tried to explain the same procedure in detail here (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=129). See, if you can follow them to success.

Hope it helps.

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

okay,,, thanks.. but as i mentioned my memory card is now already in EXT3 format. i left the installation for the nitdroid since 2 minutes and nothing ( i will leave it for another 10 minutes)

i will let u know if nothing happens.

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

12 mintues nothing !

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

@anyone

How to access menu in app?

slider -> back
camera button press - home
camera button long press - Last used
Power button -> standby and power off

How do I get to the menu of the apps?

--------

Any more detail how to get flash running. Read a post before but did not find anything remotely so any help with step by step (in maemo or NitDroid) would be helpfull.

-------
Is there an official Outlook sync tool for android? I synced contacts using gmail account but this is

a) a hassle
b) I don't want my contact with google
c) I miss the avatars for my contacts

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

I think I found the way to access the menu.

cover the thing next to the front cam twice. Is that really the way?

Markus

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

Is there a way to change the buttons functions? Back is so often used that the slider is not very convenient.

I would like it like this

Camera - Half press -> back
Camera - Full press -> Home
Power -> lets leave it like this
Slieder -> Menu

Markus

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

Zikmir, the same thing happened me, I just followed the instructions to manually format from the www.nitdroid.com wiki and then ran the installer again. It worked the second time around. I previously had the card formated in ext3 also but as a full partition.

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

i am trying sd partition manually

how do i type this line
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,<YOUR NUMBER IN MB>,C
,,L

EOF

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

The proximity sensor next to the front camera does this function. Just tap your finger next to the transparent part next to the front lens and it will do this

I am at the same stop,but instead of crashing its stuck on Formatting /dev/mccblk1p2 (ext3) for like 30mins now :X
EDIT:
Formatted now with the commands from the manual installation guide and then run the installer... Now it worked perfectly :o I think something is wrong with the formatting script in the installer.

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

I think I'll wait for the Youtube video to show me step by step instructions :)

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

but even if i manually format the sd card...the installer still does the same thing again.
wen i posted the above query i had formatted my card manually only and thn ran the setup...it didnt work.
and now i just ran the autoinstaller with a fresh mem card, it still gets stuck on formatting ext3..

do u mean tht if u format the card manually, the autoinstaller doesnt format ???

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

I think that nitdroid installer is installed in N900 and not into flash card, so you can uninstall it manually via x terminal.
If you want to format your flash card - you can do this via your PC.

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

so is there an actual installer in extras devel that can be downloaded via app manager (as per the usual way of installing an app) or do you have to do it via xterm? If there is an actual installer that can be found with app manager, where is it??

also can somebody recomend a make/model 2gb sd card that definitely works with nitdroid?

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

Any Make/model atleast 1GB and class 6 or better. Mine is a 8GB Sandisk Class 6 and it works great. I got it offline last year for like $15, there is a link to one on NITDROID forums somewhere that is a 16GB Class 10 for like $44 not a bad price for that card. Not sure where they will mail it to.

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

I meant tht if u manually format the card, then the autoinstaller doesnt format the card again?

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

One question after going thru this thread and wanting to instal NITDROID.. how will the updates come after the phone feature being available ? i hope i dont sound dumb :P
thank you ! :D

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

I finally installed it but I'm getting an error while booting into NITDroid.
Error is :

Mounting route device mmcblk0t2 failed
Guru meditation #00000025.62017712

After this it restarts after some seconds.
Does anybody know what this means?

And yeah my overclock profiles have stopped working as well.

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

How long should it take to download nitdroid via the auto installer?

Mines been on the xterm for like an hour with downloading ... and its on my wireless thats on a 20mb connection. I know it says it may take a long time, just need to get a ballpark figure if its like hours etc?

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

You have the error that many had!
Check first post carefully and there you will find a workaround...

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

Ok - well, am I correct then its a manual install?

I have Kernel power installed hence was hoping the auto installer would work. Partitioning is fine after I did it manually.

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

Am I being thick or....

1) Does Android have problems with WPA2 wifi?
and
2) why does practically every process I start result in a "Sorry! The application ... has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"?
