Using auto installer for Nitdroid 0.0.7, see below for 0.0.8 installation
Nitdroid - Android running on the Nokia internet tablet
Installation - an auto installater has arrived, just click and wait for 8 minute!
Running - ran for 24 hrs, no hiccup/freeze/reboot; speedwise, how does that measure to PR1.2? Honestly, I cannot tell if it is NOT running maemo.
Android market - dl and install, just like your favorite ovi store
Installation: N900 running PR1.2 or PR1.3; Nitdroid will be installed in a newly partitioned external 2G microSD; and it will be erased, so dont leave anything there (if you want to, a 0.5 G will work too). The auto installer will NOT touch your internal SD. There are million ways to install nitdroid, this is the way I did it. DJ_Steve auto installer, as of today, there is a slight hiccup, auto installer stuck at 2nd format "Format .... ext 3", you can partition manually (Step 1 Partition 1-3 and reboot, the rest will be done by the autoinstatller), and continue with auto installer, the whole process should take less than 8 minutes! I used a 4G Kingston, and partition 3.5G and .3G. Repo.nitdroid.com has been retired by author and wont work.
Yes, overclock works, a very minor extra step if you interested, thread #2.
Short and precise, good info: http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=27.0.
Running: Initial running will take you to setup wizard, to get out of setup wizard, scroll down on menu or touch 4 corners clockwise.
1) setup wifi, usual way, need to manually key in password
2) DO NOT Touch the airplane mode. It will turn off all wireless and is NOT strict forward to get out. Just leave it alone.
Android Market: In USA, go Android Market, search for OI file manager, dl and install, and have fun; to get "more" market, see below.
To uninstall, thread #3.
Keyboard get around, read it twice, you need it:
1) Ctrl + arrow key = arrow key in Android
2) camera key half press takes one back one screen, full press back to desktop
3) the small button between speaker and earphone jack is the menu key
Onscreen keyboard numeral is NOT working. Install Palm Graffiti or use different OSkeyboard.
From the wiki, http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900-install
Once done booting to NITDroid, don't forget to Thank The NITDroid team!
Great thanks to the Nitdroid team, bring another excitement to the N900!
Edit: To install Nitdroid 0.0.8
Manual install: This is ONLY for people who already has Nitdroid 0.0.7 installed, auto-installer see below.
1) (Optional) Back up your installed apps to a maemo folder: copy all .apks from /and/data/app to a maemo folder say, /media/DCIM/myNitdroidapp
2) xterm/gainroot
3) cd ~/MyDocs
4) wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar.bz2
72952474 bytes (~72Mb)
5) bzip2 -d NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar.bz2
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
cd /and
rm -rf *
tar xvf ~/MyDocs/NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar
dpkg -i ~/MyDocs/.nitdroid/nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb (Credits to : Nitdroid dev team and somedude, lohiaprateek)
Reboot
skip initial wizard by touching 4 corners of your screen in clockwise (you need to set up wifi 1st)
set up wifi
(optional) reboot to maemo to copy back all your apps from /media/DCIM/myNitdroidapp to /and/data/app
reboot back to Nitdroid>android market>finish your initial wizard by signing into your google acct.
done
Using the auto-installer for 0.0.8
Slightly faster boot, boot without animation:
from maemo
xterm/root
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
add to /default.prop
"debug.sf.nobootanimation=1"
Much improve in booting time on slow SD
Where do you get apps? Here, and see pics of beautiful nitdroid apps!!!
Get installation help from the master
Tips: For the linux non-initiated, a lot of file renaming/editing/etc, I did it from my winPC, it took 10 min to set it up, once it is set, you can then do everything on winPC to your N900, details here, http://forums.internettablettalk.com...d.php?p=228133
Want to play with your nitdroid gps? Not yet. But you can if you use BT GPS, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...131#post813131, see thread #36, it even works with Google Navigation, yes, all the bell-whistle with voice/route/poi...
Hungry for maps? Dont have to.... at 44 map apps here thread #9, all about maps, USA, Europe, Germany, play with maps till your face turned androidgreen!
To back up your installed apps without losing them upon upgrade: copy your installed apps from /and/data/app into a maemo folder, e.g. /media/mmc1/mynitdroid, do your upgrade, then recopy back to /and/data/app.
Some Google apps and several social network apps requires gps to launch, otherwise it would crash. A temporary solution is to install BT GPS, it would at least allows one to run those apps before nitdroid GPS is ready. See BT GPS above.
Edit: 9/14/2010 HOT FROM THE PRESS: e-yes just released a patch for gps, you can run the gps required app after the patch without having to use a BT GPS, see here for details

Edit 11/9/10 Titan 2.6.28-maemo45 (credit:http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=195, thread#195)
================================================== =
You MUST have multiboot or some kind of bootmenu installed before attempt, otherwise, bootloop may result, If you are running nitdroid, you have nothing to be afraid, you ALREADY has multiboot installed
Install thru app manager or manually,
get extras-devel enabled
online
xterm
root
apt-get install kernel-power-bootimg kernel-power-modules
Your system MUST be clean from unfinished business, unfinished installation etc, otherwise the following 2 commands would update EVERYTHING!
==================
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
Y
Reboot (may not be necessary)
===================
That should get you the zImage files of the latest.
Now you need to work on the bootmenu. It is much much easier to use winscp to do editting if you are not good at linux. I use winscp and the renaming and editing is totally effortless.
boot up omap1, no OC boot, boot option 1,
connect via winscp or whatever you are comfortable with editing and renaming.
go /boot/ , you should have:
multiboot folder
and zImage-2.6.28-maemo45 (winPC size 1,793,436)
copy the zImage into /boot/multiboot/ and rename it to vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power45
go /lib/modules/ to check, you should have:
2.6.28-omap1
2.6.28.10power45
2.6.28.NIT.06
in /boot/multiboot/ you should have:
vmlinuz-2.6.28-omap1
vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power45
vmlinuz-2.6.28.NIT.06
in /etc/multiboot.d/ you should have a file, 01-Maemo-kernel-power4x.item
rename the file to 01-Maemo-kernel-power45.item and edit the file:
ITEM_NAME="Maemo jerbek-power45"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.10power45
ITEM_MODULES=ext3
Double check everything, please really double check typo etc, otherwise rebootloop, and then reboot
Some people are paranoid, see pics below to check you have the correct power-kernel-modules
Pics are posted thread #638, enjoy
DONE
================================================== =
To fix fcamera, dl new fcam...armel.deb , thread #130 to /home/user/MyDocs/.documents
xterm
root
dpkg - i ~/MyDocs/.documents/fcam*armel.deb (if you have only 1 file by this name, otherwise, spell out the whole filename)
================================================== ========

I have installed Nidroid with the autoinstaller in a fresh new micro sd 16 Gb class 10 from Kingston.
I had allready installed Power kernel v46 with bleeding edge wifi drivers, Backupmenu and Multiboot. All of them working fine.
Installation process for Nitdroid 0.08 went fine with the autoinstaller and now I have a new entry in multiboot for booting into Android.
But when press the option for Android, after some logging info in the screen about the booting process, a message in red font appears for merely a second saying "can't find init binary in target OS" and suddenly disappears coverd by more logs. Then the device restarts and I'm not able to boot into Android.
I haven't been able to find anything related with this problem. The multiboot entry seems fine:
/etc/multiboot.d/11-NITDroid-mmcblk1p2-2.6.28.NIT.06.item
Trying to mount the partitions on my Kubuntu box I receive this error:
Somehow it seems that the Autoinstaller didn't partition the sd card. If I use Partition Manager in KDE I can see that the previously created partitions (one 2GB ext3 and other with the rest of the space) are there (so didn't been wiped out by the Autoinstaller) and the Android partition gives this error:
I have tried again without any previously existing partition, fully clean sd card. The installer says:
Finally, it was easier to install it manually.
