Hi!

installing NITDroid via the instructions on the first post of the thread is awesome! and made as simple as possible.

BUT:

* The Rest of your memory card will be usable by Maemo totally normally but the nitdroid partition is not seen in file manager etc
* You need to decide how to best partition YOUR card, i personally have my card partitioned as ~6gb fat32 and rest (~1.9gb) as ext3
* Some suggested size ratios are (in MB fat32/ext3 layout): 2GB: 100/1900, 4GB: 2100/1900, 6GB: 4100/1900 8GB: 6100/1900, 16GB: 14100/1900, 32GB: 30100/1900
* in below command REPLACE the <SIZE> text with your choosen fat32 size
Right thats enough crap now onto partitioning:
ignore errors whjen runnign umount its normal sometimes
Code:

Code:

umount /dev/mmcblk1p1

sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF

,<SIZE>,C

,,L

,,

,,

EOF

the partitioning part I cant make work! i get an error "Cant stat /dev/mmcblk1p2: did you blah blah it correctly?" i though that this part is gonna be easier for me coz i did successfully partitioned my 32gm mass storage to pump the applications memory size.

please help! :)

EDIT: im really enjoying this, even though i messed up the device twice now :D

Sounds like the partition did not work as it cant find the drive try the step below again. Note only change is from the original post u actually remove the symbol < > on boh sides of your number this should create the partition corectly.

umount /dev/mmcblk1p1
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,<SIZE>,C
,,L
,,
,,
EOF

Thanks :)

EDIT: what does EOF stands for? End of F?????

Just put the size of the fat partition. You need to type

Code:

umount /dev/mmcblk1p1

sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF

,2100,C

,,L

,,

,,

EOF

EOF = end of file (I believe)

p.s, there is a help thread you know ;)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread

@mornage

Awesome!!!! thank you!!! :)

gonna give it a try after re-flashing (my idiot instincts made me flash the n900 without reading a "how-to" uninstall multi-boot :D).

good thing there is the thread like this, the youtube videos requires me apc to do the partition !!

I had the some problem, it's easy to solve!
Instead of Replace <SIZE> with 4100 try: 4096 - that should work.

The thing is, my SD-card wants als MiB instead of MB - which producer is your sd-card from?!

Tell me if this is working!

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread

@Alphax2

yes! i have not come across of that problem but i already got a solution for it. Thanks!!!! cant wait to see android.......work mode :D

EOF match <<EOF. Basically this is saying from <<EOF, read the next lines as standard input (ie keyboard) until you see EOF.

You can also do <<LETSGETUSSOMEANDROID

and end with
LETSGETUSSOMEANDROID

But, EOF is the standard way of doing this, meaning "end of file".

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread

I'll ask again:

Is there a way that NITDroid put all the android folders / app data (i.e. download folder, android folder, ...) not on Maemos "/home/user/MyDocs"?!

Maybe on the vfat sd-card partition or only ONE folder for all this stuff?! Cause on the one hand I don't like to have so much disorder and these intermixture of NITDroid and Maemo there, on the other hand I am a bit scared about removing the wrong files! :rolleyes:

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread

Simple way is open up system/etc/vold.fstab and change mmc0 to mmc1 this will make androjd mount microsd in theory but not tested

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread

Thanks Steve, I'll try! Reporting here later. :D

This is what it was original:

Code:

dev_mount sdcard /sdcard 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc1

dev_mount sdcard_ext /ext_sd 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc0

What exactly have I to change?! I tried this:

Code:

dev_mount sdcard_ext /ext_sd 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1

and also

Code:

dev_mount sdcard_ext /ext_sd 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc1

But changed nothing, any ideas?!

Should also be possible to delete the hole 2nd line, isn't it? So it could take only use of the 2GB NITDroid Partition?!
