1)http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=315.0 <---- download 0.0.8 version

2)copy the file to emmc via mass storage mode

3)disconnect from mass storage

4) open xterm

sudo gainroot
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk1p2
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar.bz2
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/.nitroid/nitdroid-ke(press tab it will auto complete the filename)

*thanks to http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...9&postcount=23
after "cd /and" when I do the "tar xvf etc." I get "tar: invalid tar magic... thoughts?

I had this happen.
Went back to /home/user/MyDocs and did this:
bzip2 -d NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar.bz2
then
cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar

Not sure..
I also didn't do
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk1p2 or
rm -f *

But is still works, no airplane mode on startup, even made a call to my phone from a landline and it connected (didn't answer it though).
Go figure.

Hi,
How long does the first bootup take?
I followed your instructions and now I am still at a black screen with white cursor on left top.
Any help is appreciated.

You need to see the whole file name before hitting enter. On the screen, move your cursor to the last letter ..../nitdroid-ke then press the tab key on the screen, this will finish the whole file name for you, then hit enter, you will be fine.
