A couple of questions: is it possible to use the same procedure for OS2006? If not, what changes are needed?

Is it possible to use the modified SDHC cards for booting? I have a 8 GB card (http://www.remotefactory.com/n770memory.html ) that I would like to use.

I already tried cloning of OS2006 to this 8 GB card with these instructions: http://examplified.net/guide/Nokia_7...ting_from_MMC/

Cloning seemed to go well and I managed to get the boot screen to appear but booting from mmc2 failed. I also could not get the 770 boot from internal flash either (Nokia logo comes to the screen, progress bar moves from left to right, screen turns white and 770 boots again). Now I am reflashing the device.

http://examplified.net/guide/Nokia_7...ting_from_MMC/

is actually my preferred way to clone cards.

I think your cloned SD is ok but the flash is corrupted.

BTW, the modified 8G SD is nice but too expensive now!

OK, I think I just have to try again. I have now newly flashed and patched (high speed kernel and WLAN hot fix installed) OS2006 so cloning should go just right.

8 G SD is indeed nice. And at the moment it is actually quite cheap for people living outside US because the exchange rate for $ is really good.

I got the modified SD card working (reflash, cloning of card without typing errors...). Nokia 770 became definately faster than it was before.

I tried to format the card so that the "memory card partition" (FAT16) would have been 4096 mb and the rest of the card would be the boot partition. However, the 770 only gives access to 2 G on the memory card. Also when I put the card to memory card reader and check it with Windows the card appears to be a little less than 2 G. The boot partition is about 4 G like it should be.

I checked the card with Parted Magic -live cd and it shows that the card has three partitions (one really small) and two aproximately 4 gigas. Where are the two missing gigas when I use the card on 770 (or Windows)?

We will find your 'lost' space together, how about that ?

1) dl and install DiskUsage from maemo.org>download or /gronmayer.com/it/, which give a breakdown of your disk use.

2) xterm
df > /media/mmc1/df1.txt
cat /proc/partitions > /media/mmc1/cp1.txt

Here are my outputs for N810 for comparisons

For N810:
mmcblk0 internal 'SD' fixed
mmcblk1 external SD
My N810 is drunk, and get infFl and extSD mixed up

/dev/mmcblk0 and /dev/mmcblk1 intSD/extSD p1 FAT
/dev/mmcblk0 p2, p3 debian
N810:
2G intSD = 1.3G Fat + 0.6G debian
8G extSD = 5.9 Fat + 1.9G p2 +.2G p3

For 770:
mmcblk0 SD
1G = .3G Fat + .5G p2 +.1G p3

do you need 4G p2? why?

That is exactly what we are going to do but not this evening Thanks for your advice, I will definatively look at your instructions when I have some time and post the results here.

Just to make it faster to get media files to my tablet. I have noticed that using a card reader is the easiest and fastest way to get the files to memory card. I have also Navicore installed that takes about 1 G and it has to have map data on memory card (if I have understood correctly). 2 G is also fine, I can always transfer the data to this free one giga space with card reader and move it inside tablet to internal memory. At the moment the problem is just that I don't have the missing 2 G space either on "memory card" or on "internal memory".

Is your preference 2007HE or 2008HE?

Before my recent WSOD (installing Canola borked), and a trip to Alabama repair, I had 2007HE running. I reinstalled 2006 as it was faster from the XP machine. I am going to travel and would like to install as you describe on my 2G card.

More details please? You're goin' to make a RAM disk thing or you're going to make a big .video or .audio folder in partition 2? You will have to SSH/USB or somehow get it on FAT then transfer to .audio, right? I am NOT sure this is faster. To access part2 or 3, you will need a Linux box.
In general, partition 2 is for app installation. I have 2.5G and have KDE installed. This left with 5.5 G for FAT or storage on a 8G card.

Definitely 2008He with 48 Mhz kernel. Everything is eye-blinking fast, especially garnetVM palm stuff, maemo Mapper and Google map. You would NOT believe this is a 770. You would NOT. I cant get the speaker to work though. Listen thru a earplug is 100% fine. and plus some minor progs, skype, I like to run but have problems, mostly audio/visual, I kept 2007He for those apps.
