No clue how to install NITDroid
 

I've been trying to install NITDroid on the internal memory 'cause my N900 is not picking up my memory card-.- I've been trying to follow this guide : http://wiki.maemo.org/Nitdroid_easy_...lling_Nitdroid

but nothing seems to be going how it should and I don't understand what to put and when..

please help!

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

Hi Friend,

Wouldn't you like to consider installing NITDroid on the phone's internal memory/storage (eMMC, i.e. MyDocs)? It would be much faster compared to installing to an external memory card/storage.

I also made some video tutorials, I posted them here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...5&postcount=12. Originally I made them for personal use and reference, but I would just like to share as it might help you too.

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

But isn't it safer installing it on the memory card?? just a thought

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

If you ask me, the risks (as well as level of safety) are the same anyway. I made a lot of mistakes before I finally got it right (and hence came up with the video tutorial), but it's not really that hazardous, i.e. an incorrect installation doesn't wipe out any data.

After install, I don't see any risks or tendency for it to be unsafe if installed to the internaly storage/memory. Remember that NITDroid dual-boots with Maemo, so meaning to say they will not run both at the same time (same as when you dual-boot your laptop/desktop computer).

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

Thanks for the tutorial links but I don't get what you're doing in the first part?

Apparently it runs WAY quicker on the phone memory so you know...

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

Yeah that's what I meant too (internal memory/storage a.k.a. eMMC). :)

Oh the first part...nothing it's just a how-to on where to get the needed files (upgrades). The second part is the one from the written tutorials in this forum.

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

I've downloaded everything required but I don't know how to get to MyDocs? everytime I try the "bzip2 -d NITDroid-0.0.9.tar.bz" bit it says file not found even though I have definately downloaded it and it's saved in the "N900" main folder in the file manager...

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

When you are in X-Terminal you should be at "MyDocs".

cd MyDocs

You must read and do this slowly and carefully; it is clearly written on the tutorial and is also shown on the video tutorial. I wouldn't be able to come up with the video if the instructions were wrong. :)

I'm getting this error while running the Kernel deb file..

Android not found. MUST be mounted on '/and'
dpkg: error processing NITDroid-kernel-Mido.Fayad.deb (--ins tall):
subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
NITDroid-kernel-Mido.Fayad.deb

Please help

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

It means you missed a step. :)

You either forgot to enter the command to mound "/and" (Android folder/directory - command is "cd /and") or you forgot to create it in the first place ("mkdir /and").

What I recommend is to read through the instructions carefully, and watch the video tutorial so that you can sort of "simulate" how it will go. :)

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

Yaa... :D
Thanks a lot..!

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

Facing problem again...I'm having only 1l in the multiboot folder ..what to do now..

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

Just wanted to post that we have already discussed this via IM and it has been solved. :) Just let me know if you need further assistance.

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

I had the exact same problem, I rebooted and it only had "Maemo 2.6.28" in the multiboot folder, help!

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

Hi Friends,

Most users who attempt to install NITDroid end up with this problem, because of Step 6 where you type a Terminal command to edit a file using Leafpad. Most users fail to read (or skip) what is written below the command in Step 6 found in the wiki (hint...hint...) ;)

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

sorry? that confused me but I followed your tutorial, rebooted it, it comes up with the nitdroid open in the boot menu but it says "root filesystem mmcblk1p2 not available" ?! :S

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

In my video tutorial it was mmcblk0p2 and not 1. :) That is why your Nokia 900 is telling you that it cannot find the partition you asked it to load. :) May I ask...why did you choose "1" instead of "0"?

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

I think it's because when I opened leapfrog, it was already like that or I must've changed it without looking, clumsy mistake, time to start all over again then!

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

leafpad?*^^

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

Oh okay. :) Just let us know. ;)

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

Hi ammyt,

Just the right person. I wanted to thank you for your instructions on installing NITDroid to the internal storage (eMMC). :)

Anyway I made a personal video of the written tutorial (followed every step) and uploaded it on YouTube. It was mainly for personal use as my reference/guide, but I decided to share it. Please take time to review it and perhaps it can benefit others too?

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

I just don't get it. Why do you have to start a new thread for some silly questions? I swear that anyone at the original thread could've answered you, including me. Keep the forum clean, use the SEARCH Bar at the top, Google, Power Search. This is a one useless thread added.

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

It would be my pleasure...

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

Thanks, much appreciated! I posted the YouTube links in the other thread, though. Here is the post: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...5&postcount=12

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

In one of the posts....i have seen a zip file for overclocking Nitdroid...i have downloaded that zip file. Is that fine to install it? How to do it...the same way of installing unzipping and tar?

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

No no no. Just unzip it (called setcpu) to ../MyDocs (I assume you know where ../MyDocs is) and then install it in Nitdroid using a filemanager such as ASTRO from the market place.

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

Before installing the updates given in wiki, my wifi was working fine. But after the updates, i'm not able to connect to WIFI. It is connecting for some seconds and then disconnecting..What would be the problem.. :(

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

i have installed nitdroid on my n900. Can any one please let me know how to install android games manually.

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

First of all open settings - applications and Mark unknown sources
download file manager like ASTRO then install it. Thereafter, each application that you take off seek through Astro file manager and install it

Re: No clue how to install NITDroid
 

Hi ammyt, I tried this using Application File Manager (downloaded from Android Market), but when I selected this file for download, it is saying "Application not available". The file is in MyDocs folder.
Please help me.
