Re: NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

This installs to SD or the internal memory?

Re: NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

gimme 2 min to test it out
this is still a theory
and SD
if emmc gets ****ed, you'll brick ur phone

Re: [trash this] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

I think you should be able to:

Re: [trash this] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

i know lol
gimme 2 min

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

lol
nah
the last step is not necessary
jus directly extract it as a tar file
thats how i did and its booting right now
and new animation is awesome! :P

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

So, the latest instructions will install to eMMC or SD?

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

SD not mmc
i already answered that..
please read before u ask and dont flood this

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

works, but Im stuck on boot animation.........

EDIT: its alive !!

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

i thought the same but no
first bootup takes a while

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

yes! it's works!

add this in tutorial:

-bunzip2 /home/user/MyDocs/NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar.bz2
-tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar

i have small problem, nitdroid in flight mode...

Re: [trash this] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

So if I previously installed nitroid via the autoinstaller, all I have to do is type those lines?

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

go to pc, open the file.. it wont be a tar.. you'll directly see the contents..
so the bunzip2 is not needed

Re: [trash this] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

sir, either methods are correct..
it depends on how u wanna do it..
downloading on pc is faster than the cellphone coz the wireless on cellphone has power saving options

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

yes plus

which i missed

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

a quick question. How to add an APN?

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

its on airplane mode as initial..
i'm still trying to find a way to disable that

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

hold power button and select "[disable] airplane mode"

worked for me.........

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

nope
didnt work for me :S
try turning on bluetooth
i read that airplane mode is a bug and its disabled from xterm
forgot where i read that
it was a warning for the 0.0.7 installer

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

mine is not on airplane mode as initial.
find out menu button is the trigger of the dialog of adding apn
I just didn't know how to use android :)

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

after "cd /and" when I do the "tar xvf etc." I get "tar: invalid tar magic... thoughts?

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

I had this happen.
Went back to /home/user/MyDocs and did this:
bzip2 -d NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar.bz2
then
cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

why is it weird that i didnt have this issue? :-/

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

Not sure..
I also didn't do
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk1p2 or
rm -f *

But is still works, no airplane mode on startup, even made a call to my phone from a landline and it connected (didn't answer it though).
Go figure.

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

Hi,
How long does the first bootup take?
I followed your instructions and now I am still at a black screen with white cursor on left top.
Any help is appreciated.

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

you missed 1 step, see post #15

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

I ran the install but I am getting the following error:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/nitdroid-ke
dpkg: error processing /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/nitdroid-ke (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
/home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/nitdroid-ke
Nokia-N900:/home/user/MyDocs#

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

after dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/nitdroid-ke press tab, the full string is longer

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

You need to see the whole file name before hitting enter. On the screen, move your cursor to the last letter ..../nitdroid-ke then press the tab key on the screen, this will finish the whole file name for you, then hit enter, you will be fine.

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

i will try again 4th time might be a charm.

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

So forgive me for not being techno saavy here, but does this download allow you to run andriod apps as well as maintain full phone functionality?

Cheers

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

I should have known a dpkg -i usually need to have a deb file.

That's the step I missed. It's loading. Thanks again.

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

For airplane mode look here: http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=211.0

it's not works for my n900... :confused:

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

its initial not on airplane mode but after seconds it on airplane mode and cant turn it off...

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

it worked on my phone afresh..infact i was the one who posted the ram-shackle press tab tutorial, was too sleepy to post a full blown one...configured the apn in the settings and my EDGE was working like a charm, infact it runs smooth on a sandisk class 2 card, whereas my kingston class 4 card slows down to a crawl..funny..

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

infact edit the last step to
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb much easier for people to understand

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

I would say, ...allow you to run most android apps as well as get your phone answer incoming call, no voice yet. You phone rings. You got full phone functionality by reboot back to maemo.

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
 

I've managed to install everything perfectly. Got five signal bars, everything was beautiful.

Until I set up my APN. The moment I did that my signal bars were gone and I got the no-signal sign (the bars with the X on top of them). Tried to reboot, got the same problem. Anyone ran into something similar?

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*

Re: [updated] NITdroid 0.0.8 HOWTO Install *assuming you've used autoinstaller*
