Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

I'll be playing NIT kernel ping pong till Android can be dual booted, so next time I reflash, I'll give that a whirl.

Reading the output, I'd have to ask the same question. Is there an initfs partition for it to go on? should it just go in the equiv place on the Android FS we un-tar?

But, this is it in a nutshell.

You need:

Linux with gparted plus whatever it wants you to install.
Tablet running Maemo.
Free space on your memory card

First, plug in the tablet. The internel card should pop up as a drive.
Next, open gparted
Then, unmount drive.
Then, shrink the FAT32 partition, create a "unallocated" partition, then create a ext3 partition. so (fat,unallocated,ext3)
Then, copy the tar.bz2 file into the ext3 section
Open a terminal, and "change directory" into the card. Usually "cd /media/disk/"
type "sudo tar -xjvpf rootfs_nitdroid.tar.bz2"
Then, off the tablet and pull the charging cord from the tablet.
Hold down the home and switch buttons, and plug in the charger.
The tablet is now in USB update mode.
Download flasher-3.0
make sure the kernel image is in the same directory as the flasher.
Open terminal, and go to where the flasher is.
type "sudo ./flasher -f -k zImage-nitdroid-n8x0 -R" or "sudo ./flasher-3.0 -f -k zImage-nitdroid-n8x0 -R"

DONE!

I came until the last step.... where it says.
sudo: ./flasher-3.0 : command not found.

Someone please help me.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

I think you need to DL the flasher-3.0 program from the Maemo website. If you already did, then make sure to make it executable.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

You can do it via the GUI of pretty much any file-manager, but "chmod +x flasher-3.0" at the command line works, too.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

New files:

Kernel is now based on 2.6.28-rc9-omap.
Userspace is now based on Android git master which includes all the Cupcake goodies.

Notable changes in NITdroid is on-screen keyboard (double tap the input box), browser updated to Nov webkit, brightness works although is not tuned, install apps should work now and many other small enhancements.

If you download the WiFi calibration tool (stlc45xx-cal-0.1.2) and place it on mmcblk0p1 (/sdcard FAT partition) NITdroid will automatically copy it to it's right place and will use it subsecuently.

Enjoy! :D

Thanks for the control of the brightness though and all the other fixes (I couldn't try installing apps because I have no network or ADB to move files).

Ah by the way, exporting the /sdcard partition works perfectly :)

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

All Right! This is fantastic. The virtual keyboard is alot better. I saved a copy of my wifi settings, they were stored in /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf. I had to restore the Internal Keyboard layout file for the N800.

Other than that no problems.

Thanks Solca!

Cool upgrade. I am now getting a error that my browser cookie functions are disabled, yet I doubled checked the browser settings and they are turned on. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Btw, this seems to work really well now... it is possible to install apps via adb, and some of them are really useful.. I am looking forward to see the NITselector :D

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

first of all I've no idea what I'm talking about, but could it be possible to try 770 NITroid with older kernel, one used in os2006 and he2007 as using these it was possible to install Stskeeps´s Deblet on a mmc on 770

2008-12-20 16:01

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

Android requires newer kernel, i think it was 2.6.25. It was mentioned before and probably Solca can tell you more.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

i cant get the wifi to do anything on my n800 anyone else having wifi trouble? i set the access point to no security still nothing shows with a scan..have the calibration file on first fat part.

mrp	2008-12-20 16:35

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

ok, that is enough info for me. I'm sure you guys know what you are doing. Bundyo, sorry to rush you again, but have you made any progress with 770 yet?

Thank you. Virtual keyboard makes nitdroid usable on n800.
Sadly, but in this userspace image there is no correct keymap for n800 hardware buttons. Menu button works, but strange — it blocks device, and no way to unblock it (except reboot throught battery magic (: ).

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

Solca published an internal keyboard layout file you need to push into your n800.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

I have asked this question a few times in this thread but have yet to see a response. How can I access the SD card. If I try to mount it using

mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard

I get the following error:

mount: invalid argument

Any ideas?

2008-12-20 20:02

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

for me, the first partition of the internal card (FAT) is automatically mounted...

Thesandlord

2008-12-20 20:08

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

Why are you mounting a FAT partition as Ext3? Also, I think its automatically mounted, so look fo /sdcard before trying to mount anything.

Bundyo

2008-12-20 20:23

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

Yes, the first FAT partition is automatically mounted as an SD card.

Where i was before - at the MMC driver. Seems like there were some commits this year that broke the driver, then two weeks ago they fixed it but it doesn't initialize for me. I'm starting to think to port the initialization from the old 2.6.16 kernel (it doesn't look too hard), since i can't get this one to initialize properly. If someone knows the meaning of

Code:

mmc0: error -22 whilst initialising MMC card

please do tell. Also the correct power and switch gpio pins may help.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

I had the same WiFi problem, but I managed to back up my settings before hand, so it works.

Where do you put the calibration tool? logcat still says that it is not found...

Code:

D/WifiService(  704): WifiService starting up with Wi-Fi enabled

I//system/bin/wlan_loader(  736): stlc45xx-cal calibration tool not present.

I//system/bin/wlan_loader(  736): Device will operate sub-obtimal.

I//system/bin/wlan_loader(  736): Download it from: http://stlc45xx.garage.maemo.org/

I//system/bin/wlan_loader(  736): Then place it at: /sdcard

I put it in the fat partition while in Maemo, is that right? Or should I push it with adb?

Also, I noticed this

W/HeadsetObserver( 704): This kernel does not have wired headset support

What does that mean?

Loving the LCD screen support, makes android "usable" as a full time device.

The soft keyboard, on the other hand, is horrible. Its hypersensitive, and pops up randomly. Is there a way for N810 users to disable it?

Also, SD card over USB works! Yes!

But still not time! Booo! <- (IMO, most important)

Sorry, I forgot to include that layout file in the new userspace but is fixed now.

New Android Cupcake requires >=2.6.27 BTW.

I plan too to port missing drivers to latest kernels, but I'm busy ATM with the selector.

You must place it on the FAT partition (mmcblk0p1).

You can disable it in Settings.

How are you getting SD card over USB? Does it just show up on your PC when the cable is plugged in?

If I have the SD card in while booting it hangs at boot. If I put the SD card in after booting it is not automatically mounted - I have to do it by hand running:

mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard

However, if I then run the Media player for instance it gives me an error stating "Unable to access SD card" and logcat shows

Code:

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

@cyrus: We were talking that the first partition on the same card is mounted automatically, not the second card. :) However from what you say it seems that Android prefers to mount it itself, maybe it should be defined somewhere (e.g. in an fstab way)...

Passed that stage - used fanoush's high speed kernel to build a correct and updated omap_mmc_platform_data structure to pass for initialization. Now i'm getting the error

Code:

mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising MMC card

:)

At least i'm sure that it happens later in the initialization :D

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid

Does the backlight now fade to black when not in use? That would be cool and make me not reflash back to Maemo right away next time round.

What is the best LINUX distro for Android dev? I'm thinking of ditching Ubuntu and going with OpenSuSE, as I want up to date Mono and Novel favours SuSE on that front. I figured out the Maemo dev kit should install as it uses tar.gz on non debian. So that was the thing holding me back. Don't want to jump ship if I'm on the best platform already.
