Download image and kernel to /home/user/MyDocs

install leafpad & rootsh from repositories

install nitdroid installer via xterm:
root
apt-get install nitdroid-installer
once installed, do NOT run it

open xterm and type:

cd /home/user/MyDocs
bzip2 -d N12_UMay.tar.bz2
cd /home
cd /
mount /home /and
cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/N12_UMay.tar
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb

edit the boot file via xterm:
type: leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11 and then press tab

ITEM_DEVICE=$(INT_CARD)p2

this installs to memory card
for those who have not yet installed correctly, i thought i'd post the easiest way of doing it

can you please help me with steps how can I install Nitdroid N12 without having Nitdroid installed previously?

The Autoinstaller 0.2.8-8 seems to be havin some issues.

I have tried installing Nitdroid N12 using Autoinstaller around 5 times, however there seems to be some problem. I have installed after formatting the phone using vanilla image on N900 firmware site.

However, the 6th time, I tried installing NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov using previous old Autoinstaller 0.0.7.

And it got successfully installed and Nitdroid was also running properly.

After that I tried to upgrade Nitdroid 0.0.8-Popov to N12 Umay using two methods :

1. Downloaded new autoinstaller, and uninstalled previous Nitdroid. And installed new Nitdroid N12 using same autoinstaller. However, against during boot up when I select Nitdroid the same Kernel not syncing error started.

2. Again vanilla flashed and then freshly installed NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov and followed procedure of xuggs to upgrade to N12 as given on his website :
http://xuggs.blogspot.com/2010/12/ni...xmasdroid.html

After installation again I get the same kernel issue.

Can someone please help me on the same. Why is Nitdroid 0.0.8 getting installed using old installer, but the new one is not getting installed?

Why am I getting kernel not syncing error? Do I need to have any kernel preinstalled on N900 to install Nitdroid N12 Umay.

Please request you to help me.

Your kind help and support is highly appreciated.

I haven't tried Nitdroid-Installer 0.2.8-8 yet, but the guide published on first post of this thread is working and with its steps you will install Gingerbread 2.3.4 (Nitdroid N12) using Nitdroid-Installer 0.2.7

Thank you! This is the only thing that got N12 working for me. 0.2.8-8 really messed up maemo, and didn't install android right (kernel panic).

What got ur N12 to start running as I am also getting kernel panic error?

Hey guys, Will it ever make proper calls? because it gets the call out and receives them but you cant hear a thing and no one can hear you... is there a fix and will there ever be one?

Probably never. e-yes is tired of Nitdroid and I doubt anyone else seems to be interested for further development.

e-yes don't have any plans to update the port except for maximum of one new version.
