thanks I'm currently updating to PR1.3 then I'll reflash the device which should remove NITDROID right?
But When I formated my memcard using windows it still has the partition on it. so I don't have access to all the memory.

How did you do it?

RIGHTY!!

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?

You need to run the manual install as decribed by Ammyt in his first post in this thread - it's a link to another post where manual install is described.

Hey man, i tried that like 4 times but it gives me the white cursor :/

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!

So you have done the following, right?

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

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.....

You'll have to untar ur files to the patition manually to the partition you created, and then create the .item file manually with the item device:yourpartition

This was highly requested by users, but implementing progress bars is kind of hard. Just run an apt-get update and run the installer. Catalogues get buggy sometimes.

Yeah tried that a trillion times! Okay so you reckon i should get rid of the extra partitions? I thought it could be related cos the kernel might be searching them and trying to find files within them, hence the white cursor maybe?

But DAMN yeeeah talk about ball ache! I mean i could use GParted and do it, but its SO MUCH EFFORT! ill do what you're doing and wait for the next version! Which HOPEFULLY wont be too long
