[Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

N12 "UMay"
- Android GingerBread 2.3.4 (GRJ22)
- New Gapps (20110503)
- much more stable than previous release (N11 "Vostok")

New features:
- RIL: SMS sending
- RIL: Pro-active USSD sessions
- RIL: 3G Fast Dormancy (thanx to Crevetor)
- RIL: IMEISV request support
- Support for swap (optional; one can easily activate it in /default.prop)

Fixed:
- Permission manifests
- Market working "out-of-the-box"
- WiFi/DHCP problem

Update: I recommend to install 2.6.28.NIT07-rc3 kernel for use in N12. Especially if you use USB Mass Storage mode (UMS).

Thanks you!!!

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

which kernel should I use?

nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-07_rc3_armel.deb or just the orginal one nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb?

You rock! :D

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

receive texts?

make/ receive calls?

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

make/ receive calls <----no need to ask I think, the answer in your brain

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

receiving text works since 0.0.8 ;)

and asking about calls is getting as annoying as asking about temperature readings in power kernel thread :O If it's not written in this or previous announcements, it's not available. I think when it will be available, it will be written in announcement in bold letters and biggest font size :P

think when it will be available, it will be written in announcment in bold letters and biggest font size <---------------------TOTALLY AGREE

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

I think the uninstallation method in http://wiki.maemo.org/Nitdroid_easy_...lling_Nitdroid

..needs to be updated, it doesn't work for me,
first some folders cannot be deleted using filebox as described there so i had use rm -rf,

And then i tried this N12, following the installation method and the kernel i used to successfully install N11.

But i get sh : /dev/mmcblk0p2 unknown operand

and after checking the /etc/multiboot.d i can't find the item for nitdroid..

So i install multiboot apt-get install multiboot..
And now guess what?

the Maemo option doesn't appear on multiboot, only android :(
I guess i have to reflash now :(

The installation method only works if i do a clean reflash on Maemo first...
So there must be something missing on the uninstallation procedure..
There's something else that has to be removed before installing nitdroid again

Can anyone help me with this?
Anyone managed to install N12 after N11?

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

press B to try and boot maemo. or E when in multiboot

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

I get this error :
Can't flash kernel.. guru meditation error

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

I just wonder... Is it more efficient with the battery than in 0.0.8? It drains the battery so fast that it's almost impossible to use it without charging at the same time. It also gets really hot...
Or will we have to live with it?

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

reflash the kernel only and then press B or E and you should boot into Maemo

this command for linux

sudo flasher-3.5 -F <firmware-image> --flash-only=kernel -f -R

this for windows

flasher-3.5 -F <firmware-image> --flash-only=kernel -f -R

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

Sorry but by kernel you mean the firmware right?

This one?

RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

it mean now we can send sms ?!!!!!!!!!

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

Yes, You just need to flash kernel

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

I know gsm calls are not working. How about voip/sip calls?

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

Megaupload mirror: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XSYD05NG

install as described in http://wiki.maemo.org/Nitdroid_easy_...lling_Nitdroid for Nitdroid 11.

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

I've successfully installed N12 over N11 on EMMC, works like a charm!

Keep up the good work devs!

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

cheers for the MU mirror

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

Maybe you need to explicitly list which headline items that are required for normal day-to-day usage are currently missing.
I was about to try this new release out, but knowing calls are busted means I wont.

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

could u please enlighten me on to how u did this, cheers

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

I heard to send sms you need to add International codes?

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

I'm using the same kernel which I used for N11 Vostok, so no need for me to reinstall kernel, I did the following in xterm :

Worked fine for me, hope this helps.

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

[TROLL MODE]
No, it means something completely different.
[/TROLL MODE]

Of course it means we can send sms, that's what "SMS sending" means :P (Haven't tried it, don't have time to install and check untill next week, I just relay on what e-yes wrote)

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

I added instructions on upgrading to the wiki if you installed N11 to the EMMC:

How can I update NITDroid if i have it installed in a microsd?
I only see tutorials for updating it on internal EMMC.
Please answer me. Thanks

Re: [Release] N12 "UMay" - Android GingerBread 2.3.4
 

After following the instructions on the wiki, i get a tar: cannot remove old file sdcard: Is a directory.
