Nitdriod on SdCard 0.0.8
 

Why hasnt anyone updated the Wiki of Nitdriod? I just realized that i am installing an old version right? Im installing right now to sdcard and it says Installing 0.0.8... How do i auto install 0.0.9? And can i update version 8 to 9 once its installed?

Re: Nitdriod on SdCard 0.0.8
 

I don't know if 0.0.9 installer ever came out. You can use the manual install instructions though if you're up to it.

Upgrading is fairly easy, you basically install 0.0.8, format the /and partition as described in the manual install docs and untar the 0.0.9 or gingerbread version there. (If you use multiboot you might have to copy the new kernel over too, if there is one.)

nitdroid forums are the best place for info and discsussions about it :)

Re: Nitdriod on SdCard 0.0.8
 

Auto installer of nitdroid-0.0.9 has not released yet. You should try the manual instructions they very easy.

Just delete the nitdroid-0.0.8 and then start the instructions
To delete the existing nitdroid type in x-terminal

root
mount /dev/mmcblk*p* /and (* you have to type where you have mounted nitdroid files for ex- mmcblk0p2 or mmcblk1p2)
cd /
umount /and
and just delete the file and file (by using filbox)
Now follow the instructions

Re: Nitdriod on SdCard 0.0.8
 

Hold on which instructions am i reading? im friggin lost man, do i read the wiki or which guide..

How do i know where its mounted and stuff all the mmcblk0p2 makes no sense, i just ran the auto installer so i didnt really have to do anything

Re: Nitdriod on SdCard 0.0.8
 

mmcblk0p2 is the name of device. In this case, it's flash memory 0 and partition 2. If it's 0 then it means that you are changing the _main_ memory of the phone. To work with sd-card, it has to be 1.
ex. mmcblk1p2 sd-card; partition 2
To install new android, you need simply extract it to the partition where it's installed.

Keep in mind that flash memory numbers are in reverse when phone is in multiboot.

Steps:

sudo gainroot
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and #partition 2 on the flash card
rm -rf /and/* #delete old android files
cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/...-0.0.9.tar.bz2
tar -xvjf NITDroid-0.0.9.tar.bz2 -C /and


Should work, but there is a chance that I made a mistake and something will go wrong, so make a backup.
Also, there is newer android (2.3). If you want to install it, just change NITDROID-0.0.9.. to
gingerbread

Okay ive finally got it installed but now i just want to commit murder seriously this is fukeddd all i want is flash 10.1 ive installed two versions i found here and there and everything i use ie youtube on nitdroid is telling me i need flash 10.1 i had flash going ages ago on this when i first installed nitdroid...

and that app market fix is crap too, it says to open app store then minmize or whatever, and go to app manger and clwar the cache however nothing comes up for app market? the app market works but some well know apps cannot even be found ie astro file manager? and some others...

Re: Nitdriod on SdCard 0.0.8
 

just download the adobeflashplayer.apk file for android

Re: Nitdriod on SdCard 0.0.8
 

which is what version? where do i find that, trust me i have been all over google finding diffrent flash10.1.apk files non of them work they all install but no flash content comes out. I just installed blackmarket app store and got flash 10.1 in that but still no flash content wtf is up with this..

Re: Nitdriod on SdCard 0.0.8
 

:mad:
Stop being so negative... it's a bit rude to shout the odds when you didn't follow instructions in the first place. If it's not working like you want it to work, then don't use it, but to say the instructions are crap... well they are not crap, I used them on my installation and the App market worked afterwards like the instructions said it would. People on this forum have taken the time to write down instructions. The least you can say is Thank You.

Re: Nitdriod on SdCard 0.0.8
 

ty sir, but the app markey fix doesnt work for me no matter how well i read the instructions. My only issue is flash 10.1 installs but will not show any flash content, youtube tells me to update flash.. Ive tried installing so many versions but no dice

Re: Nitdriod on SdCard 0.0.8
 

Somewhere clearly you have not followed the right instructions. Why are go outside, take a deep breath - calm down, come back inside, remove NITDroid completely off your N900 and reboot, then start again. Follow the correct page of instructions [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread! ;)

On this same page is a choice to install NITDroid 0.0.9. There are very simple instructions. If you follow them correctly it will work.

Also on the 3rd page is a proven fix for the APP Market.

Failing that, once everything is installed, do a search on this forum for Flash 10.1 installation instructions.

Re: Nitdriod on SdCard 0.0.8
 

lol ty sir i have calmed down, nitdroid works fine i dont even need th app market fix now i have blackmarket. Now let me ask you one thing, do u have gingerbread? and tell me do u have flash 10.1 installed and can u succesuflly watch youtube vids in the browser? if so can u please tell me or link me to that version of flash that you are using?

Re: Nitdriod on SdCard 0.0.8
 

Had Gingerbread yes, don't believe I tried Flash 10.1 or watched videos in the browser. The lack of 3G put me off the whole idea of leaving gingerbread on the device. However, I am willing to give it a bash and re-install it and attempt to get it working for the sanity of Lucas777 ;) ..... that is of course there is documentation on Flash 10.1 working on Gingerbread. Which instructions have you been following?

Re: Nitdriod on SdCard 0.0.8
 

there is a thread around here if you google nitdroid flash 10.1 you will get a few results, most people seem to have it installed and working

Re: Nitdriod on SdCard 0.0.8
 

What lack of 3G? I've got Gingerbread installed and 3G works. I can't find Flash in the market though, even though I've done the fix you linked.

Re: Nitdriod on SdCard 0.0.8
 

retsaw can u get flash installed though?

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=60923

if you use that flash tell me if u can get it working and play videos in youtube fine, this is one that i was using but it didnt work it installs fine but thats all

Re: Nitdriod on SdCard 0.0.8
 

Right, after much faffing about trying and failing to download the rapidshare link with the Android browser, I've finally got round to trying it out and no it doesn't seem to work, I only tried it on the BBC iPlayer site, but it did give me an error about not having Flash installed. What may be of note is that I'm running Gingerbread (which is Android 2.3) and that download for flash says it is for Android 2.2, so maybe that is why it didn't work. I might wipe my install and try again with NITDroid 0.0.9 (Android 2.2) at some point, but my only real use for Android at the moment is reading eBooks loaned from my local library and what I've got serves me fine for that.
