already used the auto-installer. really make my day thanks ammyt. with this autoinstaller, no more typing on xterm and it fast.

but i just simply dont get it, why it is so hard for others to install nitrdroid. i still remember my first nitdroid..i managed to install it without any experience on xterm whatsoever.

ammyt has already giving the tutorial on how to install it and now with auto-installer everything is just a click away. if people still cant install it.....u dont deserve to use n900.

*can wait for 2.3.5

There is no default file manager in android. You should use the web browser in NITDroid to download ASTRO file manager from a website like apktop.com, then after you successfully download it, a notification will pop up tap it to install ASTRO. Note that you will need to check install from unknown sources in the settings.

Have successfully installed it - found that it changes the wifi mac address, which as I filter on that, caused a little consternation. Runs nicely, am awaiting working voice with great eagerness, then GPS & camera. Thank you all for your great work!

I installed nitdoid without any problem on my 4G card(class2).
A monkey could do that !
Thanks a lot.

The original line is like this (it will mount first partition of eMMC (MyDocs) as the SD Card).
Code:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc1
This line is under "# eMMC" line. You need to add "#" before the "dev_mount" command (to make it as a comment line).
Code:
#dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc1
At the end of the file you should create new command (it will mount the first partition of the 'real' SD Card).
Code:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc0
Note:
dev_mount : is the mount command
sdcard : is the label
/mnt/sdcard : is the mount point
1 : is the partition of the SD Card
/devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc0 : is the 'real' SD Card device
/devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc1 : is the first partition of the eMMC (MyDocs) (this is the original "vold.fstab" file)
I'd like to do that ( i don't want to see my "MyDocs" 's files)

I tried to do that, but i can't cd to /and/etc/ , did i have to be root or something like that ? How can i do that ?
Is there a way to use nitroid without using the maemo MyDocs ? Only with the memory card ?

And , i don't receive sms/mms, i don't know why. Maybe it's a problem from my telecom.

Thanks.


Edit: i tried to "mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and -o noatime" , but :failed:N o such file or directory.

Yes, you should do it as a root.

Make sure you have installed NITDroid in "/dev/mmcblk1p2", and make sure you have made "/and/" directory.

"above is the only solution for me to Multiboot & use Power Kernel along with Nitdroid"

my request is:
CAN YOU PLS UPDATE THESE FILES TO ITS LATEST VERSION & ADD THE POSSIBILITY TO USE "BACKUPMENU" AS IT SHOWS CONFLICT WITH THE NITDROID INSTALLER PACKAGE

P.s. - "also can you pls add this or a better solution to use Power Kernel to your main Post or Wik, Since it was really hard to search this Solution within so many posts"

These are some instruction showing how to make NITDroid detect your MMC as an SD Card. The default fstab of the NITDroid mounts the first partition of the eMMC as an SD Card, this makes our MyDocs and gallery dirty. I'll show you the instruction.


FIRST METHOD, this will use your whole partition of your MMC as an SD Card on NITDroid (gallery still dirty) (without formatting).

1.1 NITDroid has been installed but not yet used

1. Mount the NITDroid partition on "/and/".
2. Open the fstab file using your editor (/and/etc/vold.fstab). I used Leafpad and open it from XTerminal. (You can use the attached file)
Code:
root
leafpad /and/etc/vold.fstab
3. Replace the original fstab command with my customized command.
Code:
## Vold 2.0 fstab
## - San Mehat (san@android.com)
##

#######################
## Regular device mount
##
## Format: dev_mount <label> <mount_point> <part> <sysfs_path1...>
## label        - Label for the volume
## mount_point  - Where the volume will be mounted
## part         - Partition # (1 based), or 'auto' for first usable partition.
## <sysfs_path> - List of sysfs paths to source devices
######################

## Example of a standard sdcard mount for the emulator / Dream
# Mounts the first usable partition of the specified device
#dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1

## Example of a dual card setup
# dev_mount left_sdcard  /sdcard1  auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1
# dev_mount right_sdcard /sdcard2  auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc1

## Example of specifying a specific partition for mounts
# dev_mount sdcard /sdcard 2 /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1

#
# Nokia N900 specific
#

# eMMC
#dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc1

# microSD
#dev_mount sdcard_ext /mnt/extsd 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc0

# This is my custom command
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc0
4. Save it!
5. Reboot and try it!

1.2 NITDoid has been installed and already used

1. Do the 1.1 instruction without reboot.
2. Move all Android's folders (.android_secure, Android, data, lost.dir, etc.) from MyDocs to your MMC using your file manager, I used FileBox.
3. Reboot and try it!.


SECOND METHOD, this will divide your MMC into two partition, the first one is for Maemo, and the second one is for NITDroid (gallery will be clean) (WARNING! YOUR MMC WILL BE FORMATTED! BACKUP YOUR DATA!)

2.1 NITDroid has been installed but not yet used

1. Download and install Fdisk from XTerminal
Code:
root
cd /home/user/MyDocs/
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/u/util-linux/util-linux_2.13.1.1-1_armel.deb
mkdir -p /home/user/util-linux /home/user/bin
cp /home/user/MyDocs/util-linux_2.13.1.1-1_armel.deb /home/user/util-linux
cd /home/user/util-linux
dpkg-deb -x util-linux_2.13.1.1-1_armel.deb root
cp root/sbin/fdisk /home/user/bin/
cd ..
rm -rf util-linux
2. Repartition your MMC from XTerminal (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKUP YOUR DATA!)
Code:
root
umount /media/mmc1
fdisk /dev/mmcblk1
Delete whole partition of your MMC
Code:
d
1
Create the first partition for Maemo (the size is up to you)
Code:
n
p
1
First cylinder: 2
Last cylinder: +<size in MB>M
Create the second partition for Android (this will use the remaining space)
Code:
n
p
2
First cylinder: [Enter]
Last cylinder: [Enter]
Change partition's system id
Code:
t
1
0c
t
2
0c
Write table to disk and reboot
Code:
w
reboot
After reboot, open XTerminal again to format the MMC
Code:
root
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/mmcblk1p1
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/mmcblk1p2
reboot
3. Mount the NITDroid partition on "/and/".
4. Open the fstab file using your editor (/and/etc/vold.fstab). I used Leafpad and open it from XTerminal. (You can use the attached file)
Code:
root
leafpad /and/etc/vold.fstab
5. Replace the original fstab command with my customized command.
Code:
## Vold 2.0 fstab
## - San Mehat (san@android.com)
##

#######################
## Regular device mount
##
## Format: dev_mount <label> <mount_point> <part> <sysfs_path1...>
## label        - Label for the volume
## mount_point  - Where the volume will be mounted
## part         - Partition # (1 based), or 'auto' for first usable partition.
## <sysfs_path> - List of sysfs paths to source devices
######################

## Example of a standard sdcard mount for the emulator / Dream

# This is my custom command
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 2 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc0
6. Save it!
7. Reboot and try it!

2.2 NITDroid has been installed and already used

1. Do the 2.1 instruction without final reboot
2. Mount the second partition from XTerminal
Code:
mkdir /media/mmc2
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /media/mmc2
3. Move all Android's folders (.android_secure, Android, data, lost.dir, etc.) from MyDocs to your "/media/mmc2/" using your file manager, I used FileBox.
4. Reboot and try it!



If you want to customize your own fstab command, here is the guide.

fstab command format:
Code:
dev_mount <label> <mount point> <partition> <device>
Example:
1.
Code:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc1
It will mount the first partition of the eMMC on "/mnt/sdcard" with label "sdcard".

2.
Code:
dev_mount sdcard_ext /mnt/extsd 4 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc0
It will mount the fourth partition of the MMC on "/mnt/extsd" with label "sdcard_ext".
