Since you started a new thread, it would be good to add links.

Flashed and reformatted partition 3. Booted fine. Soft keyboard app crashed multiple times while entering my WEP key. I was excited to see the Software Directory icon in the app folder, but so far it fails to populate the list of installable apps. Wifi and browser work fine.

The blue and red "IM" app has never launched for me ever. The app folder starts to slide out of the way but immediately returns to its open position.

Don't forget to re-enable the Debug mode when USB is attached to make adb work again (I forgot!) Any chance we can delete Snake and IM and replace them with Meebo or aTweeter?

And maybe even give a hint about what NITdroid actually does. I've never heard of it before. Just sayin'.

New release and AndAppStore.coms Software Directory worked well on my n810.

Thanks again solca :P

I found only 2 things that aren't working in thi MID-version.
- Power-button
- Screen orientation in browser can no more be flipped.

Re: NITdroid 0.4.x
 

Same here for the power button. I'm also unable to locate shutdown in adb. Is it still in the rootfs?

How long do you have to wait for the Software Directory to populate, and are you able to install apps via that utility?

NITdroid is the product of an effort to port Google's Android to Nokia's Nx0 (770, 800, 810, 810W) line of Internet Tablets.

When the notice about download came, i just pressed the back button and started browsing the internet. After a short while (~2min?) i came back to Software direcory and it was done. Did you press the back button when the notice about download came?

Re: NITdroid 0.4.x
 

I've had it sit for 5 minutes or more without producing a directory. I have a theory, however. To avoid surfing with 'links' on my Linux host, I tried to download the apk with the android browser, followed by an adb pull and an adb install. The browser refuses to save any files since I don't have a separate SD card. I wonder if the software directory refuses to download and save anything without an SD card.

Do you have a separate SD card?
