Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Hello

I just installed the latest Nitdroid and tried running it but i wont work at all.I choose the option for Nitdroid in the multiboot menu but it just doesnt do anything.all it does is quickly go back to the multiboot menu. I tried reinstalling it but to no avail.

Does anyone know why

Thanks

PS. i tried pressing b like stated in the post above but well not sure if that was even my problem in the first place

check the item file is correct- if you used the cat command per the howto on page 1 you need to make sure you enter the \${EXT_CARD}p2 otherwise if you used leafpad or similar to create it then DONT add the \ (\ is escape character to stop cat interpreting ${EXT_CARD} as a variable

Thanks for the reply

I made sure that i put the \${EXT_CARD}p2 but i still have the problem.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

whats it do just scroll a load of junk then back to multiboot

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

No it doesnt do anything.All it does it flash really quicky and show the Kernel info, device and fstype stuff that was typed using the cat command.it flashes very quickly and then just goes straight back to multiboot

Guys,

Been watching this thread(s) for a while and have to say some good progress being made! Was trying to hold off trying this until call functionality had been implemented so that I wouldnt have to worry about recieving txts etc whichever os I was in (any eta on this yet...no pressure :D) but its either mess with my phone or tidy the house while everyone is out and about and I know what side Im swaying to...couple of quick clarifications however before Im fully ready to give this a whirl:

If I want to get my phone back to virgin state once I've installed am I right in thinking its just a format of the memory card and uninstalling bootloader with

"cd /home/user
tar xzvf remove-multiboot-0.1.x.tar.gz
./multiboot-remove
rm multiboot-remove
rm remove-multiboot-0.1.x.tar.gz"

If nokia decide to bring out a maemo update while I have this installed (can but hope) would it cause any issues to update or would it have to remove this first

Im sure I read something about the newest version being more update friendly how easy will it be to update if I install this.

Guys Im still a noob so if these questions have been answered previously I apologies, I have tried to read up and searching this forum can, at times be a nightmare.

please help me guys :(

when I type:

Nokia-N900:~# mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1 -n sdcard
mkfs.vfat 3.0.1 (23 Nov 2008)
mkfs.vfat: /dev/mmcblk1p1 contains a mounted file system.
Nokia-N900:~# mke2fs -j -L NITDroid /dev/mmcblk1p2
mke2fs 1.41.3.maemo0 (12-Oct-2008)
Could not stat /dev/mmcblk1p2 --- No such file or directory

The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?
Nokia-N900:~#

i got every time this error!! i have just rebooted the n900 ...

okay, maybe it has already been asked, but i don't find any answer with search tool... so :
i just tried labyrinth lite with the new version of nitdroid (aka 0.5-4) as i've seen that accelerometer support have been updated...

but the thing is, that the game doesn't recognize any accelerometer !

does dj_steve says that only rotation is supported for now on the thread ??

thx
