it was posted on TMO first, there was a thread with the vid, as well as some of e-yes twitter posts floating around just before Nitdroid 0.0.9 was released. My question is why it took this long for engadget to get the story, since they are usually frothing at the mouth when it comes to new android info/updates.

damn it got taken down.
if it is real, itd probably be at 1 or 2 frames per second which is highly unusable and useless.
someone managed to get mac os x but it ran at 2 fps.

Re: Gingerbread on N900

do u mean windows 7 or windows phone 7?

don't think win 7 runs on our n900s, i've seen some vids purporting to show this , but they're just fakes using remote remote desktop viewers.

Re: Gingerbread on N900

I'll make it nice and easy!

Code:

root

cd /home/user/MyDocs



bzip2 -d gingerbread.tar.bz2

mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and

cd /and

rm -rf * (this removes all the files from the old installation)

tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/gingerbread.tar



cd /home/user/MyDocs



dpkg -i nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb

This works.
All works. Apply the patches using the same method as installing gingerbread (.tar blah blah).

I have no issues.

Sorry had to add those paths. Let´s hope that nobody manages to rm -rf their mydocs dir :)

No OC, yet.
There is no root access in 2.3.1 at this point.

Re: Gingerbread on N900

OK guy, I wont to start new theme so I'll try here.
I just successfully installed Gingerbread on eMMC from this tutorial
http://wiki.maemo.org/Nitdroid_easy_...lling_Nitdroid
every step I've done and here is a problem. My Gringerbread wont boot, when load finish (black screen like bios on PC when booting) and after that I got error message
"ROOT FILESYSTEM MMCBLK1P2 NOT AVAILAIBLE
GURU MEDITATION #00000025.62017712
PRESS ANY KEY OF PANIC"

What I left out??
This is first time that I want to change OS on mobile so help me please to resolve this problem. Thank you in advance.

Re: Gingerbread on N900

No I'm not, it not telling me that mem card is corrupt like in that post just it wont boot from any reason. I have edited .item file and put there to boot from mmcblk0p2 partition. In boot menu there is 2 nitsroid bla bla on mmcblk0p2 (eMMC) but when it start booting there show mmcblk1p2 (MMC) and I don't know how to change it.

Don't think that is relevant in this instance because of the install to eMMC, not MicroSD.

Sounds like the boot file is not configured correctly, the step for

Code:

leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11<tab key>

hasn't been completed or it is being pointed to the wrong partition. I believe (although it's been a while since I played with NITDroid) that you have a problem with the line

Code:

ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p2

and might need to change the partition number (p2) to maybe p5 or even p3.

Re: Gingerbread on N900

change
ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2
to
ITEM_DEVICE:${INT_CARD}p2
and tell me if it won't work :cool:

Thanks dude, I did it, you are genius. I just changed something in .item file from link and now I can boot Android 2.3.1. Without updates working wifi, google login, web, market and music player. That's all what I tried for now.
Thanks one more time

No, it's not that. It was there but i changed and it works.
so everybody who have similar problems do this:

# root
# leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11-NITDroid-mmcblk0p2-2.6.28.NIT.06.item

then copy/paste this in there:

ITEM_NAME="NITdroid on MMCp2 - 2.6.28.NIT.06"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.NIT.06
ITEM_MODULES=ext3
ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p2
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,commit=3
EOF

That works for me now.

People and you should do what you did if you don't have a microsd card in your n900.
If you have an microsd card plugged in your n900, you should keep it as:
ITEM_DEVICE:${INT_CARD}p2
please, be sure before guiding anyone.

Re: Gingerbread on N900

OK, somebody not understand. I don't have MicroSD and I think I don't need it. I just installed Nitdroid on eMMC copy/paste that what I said and right now I'm writting from Android on N900 eMMC.
Everything works well just there is another problem. Android says that my SD card is damaged, how to fix that?

Re: Gingerbread on N900

yep but like I told you, I can't access to other folders in /and just cd /and and that's it. I will check again.

2011-03-23 19:09

Re: Gingerbread on N900

You have to mount it to /and first. Read the wiki and after ask. Also do not post the same question again and again because it is a forum, not a chat to get an instant reply.
