For X-Terminal installation you need to have rootsh from extras installed. Then it is Edit: Nitdroid is a try to port Android OS to N900, as far as i know still without telephony working, but i do not fully care

hi michaaa62

When I try to do the cd /New Folder it is giving me some problem, that is
:cant cd to new. I cant get into this folder where all games.deb files are located? Also I want to install it in another directory (other than the new folder = something like MyDocs/New Folder), so can you please tell me how to install preenv games in this folder. Thank you again.

After rereading you above posts: Dont know why the cd command fails, please paste the complete output. Is the folder existing at all?
Try installing the games to your rootfs and then move the stuff manually to MyDocs and create a symlink to the stuff in the former place. You also have to set mount options for MyDocs to be executable, but i do not know exactly [Fumbling with permissions inside linux on fat32 file system is not a good idea in my opinion].

Ok, I have copied all the games in a folder called "preenv game" and copied it in to Data drive from the computer. Now when i connect my n900 to the computer the path is showing Nokia N900 > Data > preenv game folder. If i go in file manager inside the mobile phone, the path shows as Nokia N900/Data/preenv game/.

Apart from that how to install the games in rootfs, where is rootfs in nokia n900? As you said that we have to set mount options to mydocs but you dont about it, so i will try to search on it later. But how to do the above things, can u let me know. Thank you in advance.

This translates to /home/user/MyDocs/Date/preenv game/ inside rootfs which starts as / . Better don't use spaces " " in directory names, makes for difficult typying in terminal hiding the space to the shell. Common practice in linux is to use underscore "_" instead.
The mount options for MyDocs partition must changed to executable. Search for it,please.
My advice would still be: Educate yourself about repartitioning you internal flash http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning_the_flash to have proper space available for installed applications in optfs, aka /dev/mmcblk0p2.

Maemodder is the easiest way to do it:

If you read the above thread it is based on installing Preenv games,

Thanks a bunch to both.

I followed this tutorial and it worked - http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=891136&postcount=1

But one thing what i have noticed is that, if i try to install any apps or games from application manager, then on first try the apps and games are installing fine, but later on without a reboot, if i try to install any other apps or games again from application manager, then it gives me error - Operation Failed? Is this normal, cause previously i was not getting any error installing different apps and games from application manager simultaneously without any reboot. Also, it seems app manager is taking a lot of time calculating apps or games while installation?

Also, is it ok to install an android 2.2 or any other OS that supports dual booting in n900 in an internal memory or sd card? I was going to try it and why not.

There is a way to repartition /home without losing ANY data. I managed to do it so anyone can. It involves creating a bootable cd, containing a thing called gparted, then plug your n900 into the pc and just resize it from there. Whole thing took me about 15 minutes and now have a 2gb partition for android, a 4gb partition for /home and MyDocs storage has been reduced by 4. Real easy and fairly quick, plus you don't need a linux pc. The hardest part for me was booting into gparted because I kept trying to make bootable usb stick and my windows pc didn't like it. Cd worked first time though.

Thanks for the info Mr. Mathematician, lol

Would you care to share the tips that you did to partition the n900 with Gparted software on a windows pc. It would be much appreciated.
