Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic

I've just read through the installation guide and it doesn't give any instructions for flashing to a different kernel. However in the FAQ it says you have to use a different kernel.

I'm a bit confused. I hope someone can help me with this.

My only problem is that android market says: starting downloading an it takes for ever.

This is still a problem with android market itself.

And for some reason happen frequently with some networks and never with other.

Here in italy, vodafone (which is incredibly fast) is affected, tim (reasonably fast) is less affected, Tre/h3g (which is damn slow) is not affected.

Google should investigate this behavior, but after so many releases the problem is still there.

Code:

sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF

,,L

EOF

I think adding this would be great for those that will try this for the first time

The number must be in MB, example some recommended sizes are 1, 100, 2100, 6100, 14100, 30100. If its 8GB you can choose a number like 6100MB, if its 4GB you can choose a number like 2100MB. If your memory card is 2GB or below, you can choose 1MB as a number If you do not do this correctly you will not be able to use Android Market!

/dev/mmcblk1 is the whole sdcard, you have to unmount the partition eg: /dev/mmcblk1p1

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic

@dj_steve it helped to it over last night, to extract the the froyo 0.0.5-3 and now the wifi is working :)

One thing though i'm still not able to write numbers in passwords on websites, not even paste them into. The page starts loading everytime i try so couldn't log in through NITdroid/android web browser yesterday when i got it going again with wifi? I've been pointed to nitdroid bug report and somebody else has reported this and e-yes wrote it was fixed but didn't in wich build it would take effect. It seems like it's still there. No biggy though, but nice to get solved. Maybe it's only me who has that problem, maybe most people has no numbers in there password? Should i turn in a bug report or what?

Anyway it's simply just one hell of a work you guys have provided. Thanks dj_steve, e-yes, jay-c and you other people involved with testing, scripting, guiding, helping and so forth :D

That looks really cool however the only downside to it that I can see is the fact that its shown running on an N800 with Android and Windows CE and it was shown in February 2009

So to me as there isnt a Vmware MVP available to purchase that there must be issues with it or its not for general release, vmware do have a link on the website for it, but even after all this time contains very little info and only a link to contact them for more information

Slide your keyboard open and reboot and the bootmenu boots up;)

Did you use dj_steves new guide or the wiki one? I think the wiki is outdated i'm not sure? I would go for the on on page 244 by steve, it's pretty straight forward ;)

ok I followed the wiki, and when I turn my phone off and then turn it on again it doesn't show the bootmenu.

Yes this is definitely a bug, just use the numbers on the virtual keyboard until is fixed.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic

ok I've checked the way on the other link and it's the same file versions and stuff. The process looks almost 100% the same, the only thing I noticed was the unmount of /and in steves process.

I I try and umount now it says /and invalid argument

so how can I tell if things are install properly.
I can't even see multiboot app in the uninstall section of app manager.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic

I'm told to auto install apps I just need to copy to /system/app
so is that on my phone in xterm or is that on the memory card?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic

I have installed the latest version, all works great apart from memory card error. Is it normal not to have access to the internal memory in this build.

Thanks to dj_steve, e-yes, Jay_c and everyone else who worked so hard to make this build

You need to mount the nitdroid partition first, something like this:

Code:

sudo gainroot

mkdir /and

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

cp /home/user/MyDocs/game_file /and/system/app

umount /and

rmdir /and

Just a fast development question, GPS ? I don't think I read anything about it so far in here.

Will it be working at some point? or maybe it's already funtional?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic

gps module is for some weird reason known only to nokia linked to the phone modem so thats gonna be a bit down the line.

edit: just paired my Bluetooth gps fine though so once emmc/mmc mount works we may be able to get some sat nav goodness :)

Are you sure you downloaded it into MyDocs? Do "find / -name NITDroid-N900*" to see where it is.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic

Honestly I think that the most important thing is to implement the graphics accelerator, maybe the other things can wait for now

I do not know if you agree :)

However, Dj and others are fantastic programmer, they should work for nokia :D:D

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic

hi there. I've been following this topic for months now, and all I can say is you guys are amazing! thanks a million for bringing Android to the n900!

I have some comments on the latest build though:

- everything works fine at the OS level but when it comes to the applications they tend to force close. (haven't been able to launch Youtube and google maps for example)

- on the market the furthest I could get is the "Starting download" screen, I was not able to install anything yet (my partition is 1.9 GB). Is this working for others? If yes, I will try to reflash, that never hurts :)

- there are at least two applications pre-installed on this build that use the camera, but AFAIK the support for it has not been looked at yet (correct me if I'm wrong). Are you planning to include this in the to do list? Again, please shoot me if I'm the only one without working camera. :)

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to add my feedback on the new (otherwise awesome) build. Thumbs up, keep up the good work guys!
