Is there a way to install NITDroid onto eMMC WITHOUT the need of a MMC in the slot? I mentioned before that my phone doesn't detect the back cover, and therefore doesn't detect the MMC, even at boot up!

I tried the steps like 5 times, tried steps from other sources too, but it always results in reformatting maemo to get it to boot, cos the entry on multiboot disappears! AND 0/b gives you Guru Meditation!

Booting NITDroid gives you either the XCB error or just a blinking white cursor after saying "ANDROID" :/ Talk about false hope eh?

I have quite alot of experience using/installing NITDroid to mmc and ****, but emmc is proving to be quite annoying for me!

Any ideas?

I currently have eMMC partitioned to 2gb (apps), 20gb (Docs), and 2 4gb partitions, one of which i was dedicating for NITDroid, so even with these changes and changes to the install directories to mmcblk0p5, it still wouldnt work!

1. If you have uboot or bootmenu, remove it.
2. Install rootsh and leafpad
3. Download NITDroid rootfs from here.
4. Download NITDroid kernel from here.
5. Copy downloaded files to MyDocs.

6. Open x-term and do this:
sudo gainroot
mkdir /and
mount /home /and
apt-get install multiboot multiboot-kernel-power bzip2
cd /home/user/MyDocs
bzip2 -d NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar.bz2
cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb
umount /and

7. Make the multiboot item as ammyt says in first post.
8. Apply FIXES postes in first post if you want

Started it again, not showing any signs of it using much bandwidth so dont know how fast its downloading, shouldnt be taking hours and hours should it? Needs some kind of progress indicator

Full manual installation...? If you have done this and you're still getting an error remove all partitions on your internal eMMC and run it again - I didn't deliberately partition my eMMC rather I simply went for it, it may be a ball-ache to remove all the install files from /home manually but never mind, I don't intend to uninstall 'droid till the next release anyways.....
