Wonderful! I saw that you are preparing for eMMC installation. Will it be installed to an image file like Easy Debian?

Guys, is there any detailed instructions on how to do the manual install, for the bold and daring?

I'd really like to try it =)

Hey this looks good. Gona heed their warning though and wait for an installer. Phone calls must be just round the corner.

Re: Nitdroid 0.0.8
 
installation is really simple if you have the previous version running..although i installed via ubuntu so..it was easier for me..format your existing ext3 partition..copy rootfs onto the partition.
Then on the phone on xterm first type sudo gainroot
then mkdir /and
then mount /dev/mmcbkl1p2 /and
then simply run dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/.nitroid/nitdroid-ke(press tab it will auto complete the filename)
and press enter.
Reboot select your ooption on multi boot

That is to install nitdroid on the emmc right?
Can you tell me how to do it step by step please?

lohiaprateek 2010-09-07 22:55
Re: Nitdroid 0.0.8
 
that is to install on sdcard not emmc..

Is there anyway to copy the rootfs to ext3 partion from within maemo as running windows pc so no accsess to that partion

thanks.

Bobbe 2010-09-07 23:09
Re: Nitdroid 0.0.8
 
This is to install it in the memory card, IF you have already installed older versions through nitdroid-installer before.

Booting the new version as I write this. The new Bootsplash looks awesomely professional. AMAZING work!

I've been looking at some ways to repartition the N900 eMMC, and it seems quite the complicated affair. Hope it gets to its prime time before too long. Want to see this thing blazing through! =))

Already donated to the project (not much, but hey, I'm a freelance translator! not swimming in money here), but I'm seriously considering donating again. The kick-assness of this is just brilliant.

EDIT: just noticed the bootsplash is the android default one. Small excitement-driven optical illusion there made me think that they had nitdroid to look exactly like android in the bootscreen (which in my mind kinda looked amazing).

I did

Code:
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk1p2
mkdir /and
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
bunzip2 /path/to/your/.bz2/file
This last one makes the image file become a .tar. Then I did
Code:
tar -xvf /path/to/your/.tar -C /and
This copied the rootfs to that partition. I'm of course assuming you already have your memory card partitioned to go. The .bz2 file is obviously the rootfs image you downloaded from the nitdroid forum page.

Guys I can't turn off Airplane mode (even though I don't remember turning it on).

Already tried the instructions at the Nitdroid Forum FAQ.

Anybody having the same problem?

Re: Nitdroid 0.0.8
 
I've extracted the tar to the /and mounted /dev/mmcblk1p2.
But it doesn't boot up. I just get a white line on the top left corner.
And it just sits there forever it seems. =(

For the first time, I got the same error. So I've followed lohiaprateek's instruction.
1. reformat /dev/mmcblk1p2
2. mount into /and
3. extract tar
4. run dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/.nitroid/nitdroid-ke(press tab it will auto complete the filename)

I hope it helps

Android will think you have edge but a speedtest should show 3g/hspa speeds but this needs confirmijg.. the reporting is just broken

Thanks for the tip. I can confirm it's 3G not EDGE even though it's showing EDGE, as you mentioned

bunanson 2010-09-08 05:45
Re: Nitdroid 0.0.8
 
1) ignore the icon if you can get online.
2) it does NOT come pre-installed with airplane mode. It is accidentally hit when trying to set wifi
3) power>airplane mode disable

Or try this one to get out of airplane mode, http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=118.0

if failed, re-install.

bun

Re: Nitdroid 0.0.8
 
I can get GSM working (receive calls) but how do I get 3G Data working?
If I go to mobile APN settings, it just shots blank screen.
How do I set it to what I want? I'm with Three so it needs to be 3netaccess.

When you update the installer, can we download the updated package run installer again or will it be more involved? Should the previous installation be removed?

dj_steve 2010-09-08 10:48
Re: Nitdroid 0.0.8
 
the installer wipes the microsd by default anyway. so it should just be a matter of rerunning the installer.

winet05 2010-09-08 13:00
Re: Nitdroid 0.0.8
 
wow this is amazing progress.. i'll wait for the installer to try it out.

Re: Nitdroid 0.0.8
 
why wait, there is already instruction there... just follow it and it will work. You don't have to be a linux guru to REALLY get this working.
