Everything is possible to do without connecting the phone to the computer.
However, it is very dangerous. In the event that something goes wrong you will not be able to save your phone.


Installing on eMMC

It is possible but very difficult to implement.

Maemo uses three partitions:
/dev/mmcblk0p1 - FAT32 - ... /MyDocs/ - visible when connected to a PC,
/dev/mmcblk0p2 - Linux - Program Files,
/dev/mmcblk0p3 - swap.
The order and file system ensures proper operation.
I shrunk the p1 of 4GB. I added 2GB to p2. I added a 2GB p4.

Meego uses three partitions:
/dev/mmcblk1p1 - Linux - System
/dev/mmcblk1p2 - Swap
/dev/mmcblk1p3 - FAT32 - booting file.

Android uses two partitions:
/dev/mmcblk1p1 - FAT32
/dev/mmcblk1p2 - Linux - system
P1 - necessary. P2 must be 2GB? Market should then work.

How to install Android or Meego on extended partition eMMC /dev/mmcblk0p4?
It still should be pretty easy.
How to install on it Meego and Android?
One in an extended partition eMMC /dev/mmcblk0p4 and the second on an SD card.
It probably would be most sensible solution.

/dev/mmcblk1p2 is a faked swap partition.
Really now MeeGo 1.2 uses /dev/mmcblk0p3 as Swap Partition (the same used by Maemo)

Any luck with that? Would be great if we only needed one SD card.

No, not yet, at the moment my only >4gb card is busy trying to run backtrack, but it should be possible (I don't know anything which could prevent this)

I like messing with my N900, and so I do with NITDroid and so I will do with MeeGo. And I want to create a separate NITDroid and Meego partitions on one memory card, because:
- if I break something, I can just remove sd card and boot to Maemo
- I don't have to carry with me 2 sd cards and swap them to have triple boot Maemo/NITDroid/MeeGo (lol, I usually carry 3 or 4 of them anyway, but more important is I won't need to swap them in device )

This also works for Meego-1.2DE.

If you use power47 then you need to shutdown. boot into omap1 then shutdown again the select omap2 and start the device again to get to meego.

Yes it is.

Nitdroid on eMMC (if repartitioned) and MeeGo on microsd.

It is also possible Nitdroid and MeeGo on eMMC (2 different partitions)
