ToJa92:
On your tutorial, it's great, at the bottom you mentioned RD mode will kill your battery. Please add this, that way people can disable the RD keyboard flashing. I've had RD on for 7 days now, no keyboard flash (backlights work as normal)
Crack open xTerm:
Code:
root
cd ..
cd etc
nano pmconfig
Change "sleep_ind 1" to "sleep_ind 0".
sleep_ind 1 is generally the last line of pmconfig.
You do not need to use nano, I just like it's simplicity

His is just the facts mom type of instructions
You have lots of pictures in yours. I would suggest adding code tags for the commands.

You can't flash kernel on the phone.
Just install fdisk on your n900 (It's on there already I think).
Use same instructions, just replace sfdisk /dev/sdb with /dev/mmcblk1

...........
Code:
umount /dev/mmcblk1p1 # unmount the mmc for partitioning
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1
,512,C # 512mb partition for FAT32
,,L # the rest of the mmc is LINUX83
,, # empty
,,
Next, to prepare the new partitions for Android installation, run the following and then reboot you device; this will format the first partition in vfat, and the second in ext3:
Code:
mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk1p1
mke2fs -j /dev/mmcblk1p2 -m0
After formatting the partitions and rebooting the device, you can mount the ext3 partition with the following:
Code:
mkdir -p /mnt/
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /mnt/

Steve's video tutorial is great, I have followed it and installed nitdroid in a moment.
Well, maybe someone (non-native english speakers) can have some trouble with his accent.
It lacks explaining how to configure boot-menu, but I read about it here:
http://www.gadgetpilipinas.net/2010/...clair-on-n900/
This is a nice tutorial too!
At first boot there was a problem with the wifi connection, but after rebooting everything seems to work quite well, nice work Steve!!
One more thing, I changed
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=”noatime”
to
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=”noatime,rw”
as I thought the partition should be writable, am I wrong?
