[REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

ok folks, i aint skilled enough to do this myself so im putting out this request to others on here.

im looking for a dev(s) who can write a maemo app to auto install nitdroid and dependancys as well as offer user a few options for custom settings(overclocking/etc)

anyone up for a challenge

cheers

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

I'd love to see this being done, +1 for the request.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app

Someone should ask Atilla77, he did the Tweak Flash GUI scripts

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

would be very lovly

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Oh yeah!!! Nitdroid for dummies! If some creates a easy, simple to use appliacation for the N900 with function to multiboot Maemo and Droid, I'll pay for that! Hell..., a over clocking appliacation for dummies would nice too! I plan to pimp out my N900 when I sexy 4g phone! Maybe the HTC HD3....,if it's real!

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

i'm confused of what you want to get, something like Easy Debian? autoinstalling Android from App Manager? in eMMC? (dont know if already android installation in internal memory is posible).
Seems you are sequesting some 1st-class coders.. you can ask qole but dont hold your breath in that

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Hi!

I just went through the manual steps to install NITDroid yesterday and it was successful! However, I absolutely see the need to have a simpler way to install it to make it more 'mainstream'. Although I do have some understanding of what would be required to build such an installation app, I'm sure there are plenty of people better suited to the task. I'll contribute by trying to structure the requirements. Please add on/modify/elaborate as necessary.

Project Name: NITDroid Installer
Purpose: An application (read: deb package) that can be installed from the repositories (extras-devel, extras, ...) to install NITDroid to the eMMC.

Please note that just because I have written the requirements, it doesn't mean that it will be possible to implement them!

1. Performs pre-installation checks.

What's the size?
Enough space for NITDroid?
Check the SD Card
Is it empty? Prompt for backup?
As some Sandisk SD cards have issues, check if it is one of those?
Chose version of NITDroid
Developer version vs. 'stable' version?

2. Performs all the steps outlined in the

Manual installation guide.
Provide configuration options, e.g. partitioning options

3. Additional configurations

Overclocking?
Multiboot?
Anything else?

4. Uninstall/reinstall/upgrade NITDroid

All of this while storing a log-file with all actions executed and outputs in order to enable troubleshooting.

Oh, if someone actually starts building this, please let everyone else know. The last thing we want is for two ppl to start working on this without knowing about each other...

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

good to see someone is looking at it. and yep need to ask user if they need overclocking and if so what speeds etc they want also need to offer to install power kernel and item in multiboot

edit : would also likely be better to have app download req files itself rather than adding them in the deb to save time and having to up a new installer for each release. not sure if thats doable though.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

another +1000000000000000000000000 from me. would be really great even though i wanted to do this manually but since i'm no genius i'd better wait for someone to hold my hands during the installation

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Any garage projects/gitorious page so someone can list todos and start on this?

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

gitorious.com/android-n900 or wiki.nitdroid.com

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

bumping this, just wionderign if anyone has decided to look into it :)

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

how about a ps3 controller app. for dummys while were at it.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

I believe Toja is working on scripts that could be used and adapted to help with this and there is an autoinstaller progress that could probably be implimented to make this easier. Just need a skilled devel to put it all together and make a nice gui to take the various inputs.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

yep agreed mornage.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Did not follow nitdroid development, could someone point me to what exactly needs to be done (is it this: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=58890) ? Doing installers in PyQt is fairly easy...

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Not sure but maybe this post might help you? :)

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

yep attila77, thats the thread containing all the usefl droid information. the first page (in particular, posts 1 and 2) have the information regarding installation, all the x-term commands and so on

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

yep that topic is main one post 1 and 2 also hopeing to have abilty to ask some additional questions to setup certain things like overclocking etc

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

just a quick bump, we now have a fairly stable installer that could be used as base for a gui, anyone up for coding one/already workign on one :)

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

I'm no developer, but sounds like things are moving along nicely :)

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

yep slowly getting their, just need a nice easy to use gui and it will be simple to install :)

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

I think i just peed my pants at the thought of a gui installer for nitdroid. Out of excitement of course.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

Looking foward for it!

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

I would sell my 2 kids for a NITDroid Installer app :-)

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

So is this being developed or anything?

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

I'll see your bet and raise my wife!

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

If they'd really want to mainstream it, I'd like to see an easyDroid :B At least until NITDroid gets full access to N900 hardware drivers. But I guess that is way off topic here.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

+1

I am also too stupid for the hc-way.

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
 

well from the previous posts it looks like it is being worked on

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app

Re: [REQUEST] NITDroid Installer app
