ok folks, i aint skilled enough to do this myself so im putting out this request to others on here.

im looking for a dev(s) who can write a maemo app to auto install nitdroid and dependancys as well as offer user a few options for custom settings(overclocking/etc)

anyone up for a challenge

cheers

Oh yeah!!! Nitdroid for dummies! If some creates a easy, simple to use appliacation for the N900 with function to multiboot Maemo and Droid, I'll pay for that! Hell..., a over clocking appliacation for dummies would nice too! I plan to pimp out my N900 when I sexy 4g phone! Maybe the HTC HD3....,if it's real!

i'm confused of what you want to get, something like Easy Debian? autoinstalling Android from App Manager? in eMMC? (dont know if already android installation in internal memory is posible).
Seems you are sequesting some 1st-class coders.. you can ask qole but dont hold your breath in that

Hi!

I just went through the manual steps to install NITDroid yesterday and it was successful! However, I absolutely see the need to have a simpler way to install it to make it more 'mainstream'. Although I do have some understanding of what would be required to build such an installation app, I'm sure there are plenty of people better suited to the task. I'll contribute by trying to structure the requirements. Please add on/modify/elaborate as necessary.

Project Name: NITDroid Installer
Purpose: An application (read: deb package) that can be installed from the repositories (extras-devel, extras, ...) to install NITDroid to the eMMC.

Please note that just because I have written the requirements, it doesn't mean that it will be possible to implement them!

1. Performs pre-installation checks.
What's the size?
Enough space for NITDroid?
Check the SD Card
Is it empty? Prompt for backup?
As some Sandisk SD cards have issues, check if it is one of those?
Chose version of NITDroid
Developer version vs. 'stable' version?
2. Performs all the steps outlined in the Manual installation guide (http://www.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900-install).
Provide configuration options, e.g. partitioning options
3. Additional configurations
Overclocking?
Multiboot?
Anything else?
4. Uninstall/reinstall/upgrade NITDroid

All of this while storing a log-file with all actions executed and outputs in order to enable troubleshooting.

Oh, if someone actually starts building this, please let everyone else know. The last thing we want is for two ppl to start working on this without knowing about each other...

good to see someone is looking at it. and yep need to ask user if they need overclocking and if so what speeds etc they want also need to offer to install power kernel and item in multiboot

edit : would also likely be better to have app download req files itself rather than adding them in the deb to save time and having to up a new installer for each release. not sure if thats doable though.

2010-08-06, 21:27
I believe Toja is working on scripts that could be used and adapted to help with this and there is an autoinstaller progress that could probably be implimented to make this easier. Just need a skilled devel to put it all together and make a nice gui to take the various inputs.

2010-08-06, 21:31

just a quick bump, we now have a fairly stable installer that could be used as base for a gui, anyone up for coding one/already workign on one :)

If they'd really want to mainstream it, I'd like to see an easyDroid :B At least until NITDroid gets full access to N900 hardware drivers. But I guess that is way off topic here.

I think I can answer that... memory card :)

Ykho

so would I be correct in saying that if I wanted to get rid of Nitdroid all I would need to do would be to format/erase the memory card?

DrWilken
2010-08-16, 20:27
Nope. That wouldn't get rid of the multiboot part which is installed on the internal memory.

Nope, sadly I haven't got an extra microsd card. I gave my 8GB card to my girlfriend a few months ago when she got a HD camera. Bad decision, but it made her happy (which made me happy)... ;)

and how do we update if a new version comes out?
like maemo updates?
i mean, complete reinstall and loss of data?
or jus specific things will be targeted?

well i'm guessing that the installer is supposed to locate a memory card to install onto and if it doesnt find one then I guess it just won't coninue installing

I think it was 2gb anything smaller wont enable the android app store or something like that

I would like to preload stuff before i have my microsdhc card, is that possible? ofcourse i need to run the installer again and verify the downloaded files when i have the card plugged in.

Can't wait to test the android universum :D

btw. i installed multiboot and succesfully booted Maemo 2.6.28.10power37 without NITDroid installed yet so far so good.

This is the solution that was posted on the NITDroid Forums to get kernel power and NITDroid working through Multi-Boot. It has worked fine with me

I needed this to work cause I use MobileHotSpot alot.

After a successful installation and boot up of NITDroid. You go back to Maemo.

Make sure Extras Devel is enabled

Re-install Power Kernel (This should install version 40):
apt-get install kernel-power kernel-power-settings

Then install the bootimg of Power Kernel:
apt-get install kernel-power-bootimg

Then use one of NITDroid debs to auto add Power Kernel as an option on the multi-boot list(This one of the things NITDroid auto-installer downloads):
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/multiboot-kernel-power_0.3_armel.deb

I appreciate that you are having problems and do not want to join the NITDroid forum, but by posting here you are taking this thread way off topic.

This thread is a request for someone to create a GUI for the installer so options (such as OC etc) can be easily selected. With all these help requests here no develper is going to be able to get the required info and therefore we are less likely to get the app to make everything easier for everyone.

If you dont want to post on NITDroid (even though you can generally find your question already answered) at least start a new thread to keep this one clean.

Thanks.

Hey guys, I'm new here and I've been reading this thread. I would like to know if it's possible just to get an emulator of sorts just for the Android apps because that's the only reason I want to use Nitdroid for the neat apps which I'm glad to pay for honestly. I like the autoinstaller though. Don't have my N900 as yet but I doubt I would install Nitdroid until it's fully stable with no one having any problems or a stable emulator for just the Android games or some sort of application for just the android games. Thanks

i had to reflash my device and just reinstalled nitdroid today, but after it loads, it immediately blinks my led red and goes into dead battery and shuts downs android.

the battery is full and the maemo loads fine.


though i am only able to get my device to use the main stock kernel and the nitdroid kernel. i installed the power kernel 40 and it shows before i installed nitdroid, but will not work now that it is installed.

any ideas?

sorry to hear that leetut , oc working good on maemo via titan v40 and on nitroid too , i used fix by dj steve (link page 474 or 477 on overclock thread) . i had manual install nitroid and titsn v37 , used fix and all ok , made backup of boot and multiboot.d folders to be safe . used nitroid uninstaller and manual clean of phone using winscp . installed autoinstaller then replaced missing titan v40 items ftom multiboot.d , most important bit is fix i linked to on oc thread , before that was in same boat mate so reconsider and try the fix .

ok im confused...is the titan kernel the enhanced power kernel for advanced users?

Yes, it is.

The whole infos are a little bit messed about some threads.
It tooks hours for me to find out why OC didn't works on Maemo after installing NITDroid and how to OC on Android.
Finaly all went to good. :D

exactly...i have been able to get the titan kernel to work and all to boot correctly now! yeah. but there is so much stuff on the thread, i cannot find where i read to OC the nitdroid kernel to make that run faster.


do you have the code and how/where to enter it, ie-back in maemo x-term, or is there a way i am supposed to do it when the nitdroid is up.

scorpio16v
2010-08-22, 07:38
You must mount the Android partition on Maemo.

mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
nano /and/system/etc/power.conf

It's described here:
http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=92.0

You must edit the power.conf under /system/etc.

Different profiles are described here:
http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=116.0

hint:
The unmount command didn't work for me, so I have to shoot down maemo and reboot to maemo. After that it was possible to boot NITDroid without errors while booting.
On this example it is described to edit the power.conf with nano,
but you can take your prefered texteditor

ceroberts75
2010-08-22, 08:13
easy...but question.


when you have changed the freqs with nano, how to you save and close the nano in order to get back to the standard xterm to unmount?

It might be possible to get an Android emulator if you have enough money and a team of developers. If not, you should just wait for Nitdroid -- it's getting pretty good but isn't ready to go yet.

I think the red blinking led is where things are right now and will be fixed. Someone said it was because they had charged their battery with an external charger. Maybe, I have too, but I think it will be taken care of soon, I hope.

lol...guess what...i read the manual with ctrl+g (lucky guess that ^=ctrl)

then the ending commands are:

ctrl+O (oh)
enter (to save and close nano)

then


unmount /and



done.

i fixed it.

i think there were some kernel issues. after reinstalling the kernels and fixing the power40 kernel, and then over-clocking the nitdroid kernel, all is working smooth. just closed down nitdroid after testing and now going back to maemo.

Im still unable to sort out the blinking red led problem, ive tried all the solutions posted on the NITDroud forum, editing files and a kernel patch, which do work for a while but as soon as i replace the battery im back to the same blinking red led,
so if you use more than one battery with an external charger i think its just a case of waiting for the next update and hoping that fixes it,

@ geneven, if you do manage to fix this problem could you let me know please.
This is really starting to do my head in now :(

Anyone found a solution to running nitdroid + mobilehotspot?
I tried following all the suggestions in this forum, but it's not working sadly.

If mobilehotspot isn't going to work, i'll have to part with nitdroid sadly... it's so fun to make my Friend here envy me. He has samsung galaxy i7500 crap with android 1.5 and I have 2.2 (:

i redid the installation and it wiped my previous version. :/ have to reset. oh well..at least its free.


so my question is when there is a new installer, would that suggest to reinstall nitdroid again if you already have it installed as there is an update? or not?

Yes you're right, for now theres an autoinstaller but only as cli. You need to join this forum http://forum.nitdroid.com/ to get the latest installer and how to do it as far as i know, i dont think the new autoinstaller has been announced here. I get my info on the other forum ;)

It works like other apps, you opdate it through app mngr or fapman wich one you use :)

I have done 3 versions and i put them on the testing section of the nitdroid forum. I am curently working to make a better one :). Just to give you some info: The first version uses a progress bar and updates it only 4 times, which is boring (that version tested and works) . Version 2 fills the bar more smoothly and i also added more "update points" to the progress bar, but doest updates progress bar during download :(. And version 3, has the updates from the previous ones, and i added a progress bar to every file (i think there are 10) that is being downloaded during the auto-installer that updates during download and also shows download speed and eta :eek:........ I am waiting testers to answer me if v2 and v3 work.

@brokensmile - relax.

It can take a LONG time to format the card and install Android. I would suggest, if you can't wait for it to complete on its own, that you follow through the install script manually and do as many of the steps as you can on your desktop computer - it is running Linux right? Right?

All in all what is happening behind the scenes is a non-trivial procedure - depending on what your N900 has installed, maybe it works, maybe it doesn't.

You don't need us to tell you to try a different memory card, just try it.

Please do not make the font SO BIG or CHANGE COLOR like that. You won't get any more help by doing that. Infact, people will help you less.

btw, my 4GB MicroSD took less than 1minute to format both partitions. There is something wrong with your card or your current state of N900 imo.

And to point out another thing... Do stop demanding things here on TMO and people will be more helpfull... If you choose a BUT in a sentence like you do above, you delete all stated before the BUT and therefore the first stated will have no meaning at all just the stated after the BUT. So in this case all thats left is a demand and nothing else;) Just a pointer for the future...

There's a nitdroid-uninstaller script which is installed as part of the nitdroid-installer package. I've not run it, but it looks to uninstall everything from the Maemo filesystem. It doesn't appear to touch the SD card or the Android settings in MyDocs though.

I had the "bailing out" problem. In my experience, it is totally bs to say that one should hang on after getting that message. If the N900 turned off, how long should you hang on? Six weeks or so would do no good.

What I did to get it to work was back up and completely reflash. Then it worked, I restored everything and it was fine. But getting "bailing out" over and over (which I did at first) didn't help a bit.

The autoinstaller automatically formats the card for you. If you are done with nitdroid and want to format it back, stick the card into a pc and format it there... its easier.

Edit: I found the files in the archives folder so can add that... but is there a reason they are archived? Like is there an updated version? The auto installer wont work with mine, it fails at the formatting ext3 stage.

We're supposed to use the autoinstaller not the manual install

http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=84.0

But I have the same problem with the auto installer. Mine is stuck at stuck at dev/mmcblk1p2; I'm about to try the steps for manual install to see how it goes.

manually partition your sd, then repeat auto installer, format will be done by auto-installer, more info at forum.nitdroid.com or http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=61338, thread #1 AND #307

I have the same problem, it just gets stuck at formatting mmcblk1p2..

Installed it before just nicely, but now it won't go any further than that..

for those with the stuck problem (ext3 or something):

Hehe, I had just that problem and did not figure out how that code
for manual formatting were surposed to write, but after a lot of
writing, I figured that this were the way to go;
You need to write this first to ensure that the phone does not use
the memorycard;

umount /dev/mmcblk1p1

This means with all the spaces, exact that code and press enter.
Then write;

sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,<YOUR NUMBER IN MB>,C
,,L
,,
,,
EOF

Allso with all the spaces, and new line means pressing enter.
like this:

sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF (enter)
,6100,C (enter)
,,L (enter)
,, (enter)
,, (enter)
EOF (enter)

keep in mind that the number 6100 might not be the number
required for your memory card, since I have a 8 GB.
the numbers you can use is:
1, 100, 2100(4GB) , 6100 (8GB), 14100, 30100

and then it should run! :) It might take about 8-10 min to install
(I only figured out how to write the code allready provided
propperly, I do not take credit for anything)
hope that helps, and have a nice day!:D
