Hey Guys,

I have got few problems,

1. I uninstalled nitdroid by using following commands
root
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and -o noatime
nitdroid-uninstaller

UNINSTALLATION DONE BUT THE ACTUAL PROBLEM CAME WHEN I RESTARTED PHONE.

1. Not able to run Maemo Even.
2. The message showing is :
"Please select the option following" where as there is no option.

Please do help me to run Maemo again..

Regards

Sahil

You probably had to do:
root
mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /and -o noatime
nitdroid-uninstaller
Flash your kernel using maemo flasher

Just follow as the first post states, I suggest you keep on xMasDroid, so follow that section :D

[hidetoshi777]

tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-0.0.9.tar

with

tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid.tar

:D

[deny_winarto]

Doesn't work for me, i'm upgrading from X-mas droid, do i need anything else?

[Trestry]

?

[keinola]

Isn't it

tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/gingerbread.tar

It worked with only this!
I have tried and theri is in settings gingerbread 2.3.1!
Needed install flash player 10.1. again.
I would say it's better than N0.0.9!
Many Thank's for Your effort's and
Best Regard's to e-yes!

[hidetoshi777]

OPS... gingerbread.tar.. Sorry :o

[ammyt]

i just installed it, looking good :D

[tubeat]

i just installed it, looking good :D

do we need unistall the previous version of nitdroid??

[deny_winarto]

Does anyone else get APN save problem??

I have this problem since Froyo, It's the same in Gingerbread.
i can't save APN settings no matter what, i have tried "Save APN" many many times but i still get blank APN screen.. help please :confused:

[keinola]

I did not uninstall because I was eager to try gingerbread at once it appeared.
It started well and worked so far no problems when you know the restrictions - only flashplayer did not work and had to install flashplayer again. Have to examine more.
Wish Happy New Year 2011 to e-eye and hope we can have more like this in near future!

[poogash]

thank u ammyt.its not cuttin off wifi but every now and then it disconnects the wifi so i hve every like 15 min to reconnect.is that normal in this case.

This happens to me, its quite annoying, but i downloaded a wifi switcher app from market place so its not as much of a ball ache to reconnect. TBH somebody probably knows a proper fix, but i couldnt find one

[ammyt]

I'm again facing the same pain in the but*, Opera Mini. Does anyone have an enlightment about this issue?

[Au{R}oN]

someone can confirm that install Gingerbread over NITDroid 0.0.9 is ok?

[sajjji]

[hawksneo]

I`ve installed SetCPU. Now how i root the device so i can use it? Many Thanks

[mido.fayad]

gingerbread workiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing , games working and sound also

and also root which is disabled by default by e-yes

[ammyt]

haaaaaaa, *sighs* I give up, Opera Mini sucks. Any ideas folks about it being not working with me? Any ideas, brainstorm them! The only reason I need it is because it is proxy-enabled, blocking that crap facebook blocked at our crappy school. Seems that there is no hope for me entering the communication world *sighs again*. Let alone Opera Mini, aren't there any other proxy-enabled web browsers working on Nitdroid?

[hawksneo]

Has anyone succesfully overclock gingerbread? How? Thanks :)

[mido.fayad]

Has anyone succesfully overclock gingerbread? How? Thanks :)


yes , u need to root it then u can overclock it by setcpu program

u can simply root ur device by the old files of nitdroid 0.0.9

[cincibluer6]

Can anyone help out? I did bzip and extracted the tar to /and and installed Mido's new kernel but now I have no option in multiboot (there was one previously).
Can anyone just upload an item file for me so I can add it and get it to boot? It's xmasdroid with Mido's kernel installed on the emmc.
Thanks.

Did you do.:

?

Also, how the hell did you guys root this gingerbread with xmas Nitdroid?

mount ur home partition on and then install the new kernel and u will find the item

[tele]

hi mido.fayad
thanks for the reply... is it possible to install gingerbread aswell as xmasdroid together... one can run on memory card maybe?

[amadeukaos]

I´m facing an annoying problem
The Low Memory warning...
It seens that gingerbread recognize as Internal Storage 1.8GB used and 198mb free
and an SD Card with 23GB used and 3.5GB Free

How can I make the NitDroid to install programs on this 3.5GB free and stop telling that is out of memory?

With this, i cannot install any app on the market android, it keeps stuck on "Starting download"

Any opinions?

Sorry for the bad english
Thank you guys!
Excelent work!

[mido.fayad]

hey all

untill now i tried these games :

angry birds , asphalt and GT racing also works very good and alot of games

but the problem now is that the sensor isn't accurate

but nfs shift didn't work and i love this game

[mido.fayad]

hi mido.fayad

u can repartition ur memory card but u need to copy ur files first as they will be deleted

[tele]

yes u can run both on different partitions

so basically i just need to copy the files to memory card (follow manuall installation method) and create an .item file for it?
no need to install kernel as its already installed?

[amadeukaos]

u can repartition ur memory card but u need to copy ur files first as they will be deleted

I dont have a memory card, is the internal memory of the n900 that is recognize as a SD Card, but he dont recognize it as free memory

[mido.fayad]

mount the partition u want to install nitdroid on it
then tar the gingerbread to it

and after thet u can go to /etc/multiboot.d and make another copy of the existing item and edit it to match the partition u want

[luiscesjr]

I would just like to know how will I install AstroFM, I am not able to do it
on Ginger, looks like it's not being found/ not being installed because
of lack of root.
Any1 willing to tell me how do I root from Nitdroid xmas? I do not have
a working internet connection with Ginger.

I agree. Wich are the 0.0.9 Files requiered for root? And where we put them? Thanks Again.

[cincibluer6]

Thanks, that did it. I had reinstalled after putting the new image in but I guess it didn't take.
Thanks again.

[amadeukaos]

OK, I can´t solve my problem, I installed Gingerbread on the EMMC memory, but the android is saying that I don´t have enough space to install anything...
Can I put and MicroSD Card on the n900, to use as space, but keeping the NitDroid installed on the EMMC ?

[luiscesjr]

How dumb of me, the Nitdroid is already rooted.
( Rooted are the latest Froyo releases )
Just, on maemo xterm.:

root
mount /home /and
cp ( for example ) /home/user/MyDocs/Nitdoidisthebest.apk /and/system/app

Boot Nitdroid, and it's there!

Edit.: Forget everything, I rebooted, now Sdcard became MyDocs and shows everything...

[gnasgame3]

hope someone can give me a quick answer
1) is the installation mentioned in the first post include the the multi boot or do i need to install multiboot or uboot or any other bootloader separately
2) i have a backupmenu insstalled which has a bootloader do i need to unintall this one first b4 attempting nitroid

thanks a million

[amadeukaos]

So, I still dont find a solution, how can i install the NitDroid on the EMMC and use a MicroSD for install and armazenation? It is possible?

1) I believe that you also need to install multiboot separately and when nitdroid is installed, it'll make its own file line in multiboot.
http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=84.0
2) Yes, backupmenu has to be uninstalled, as per the instructions in the first post.

[M00NB34M]

Which one? AFAIK, there is only one and you can find it in fappman.

[skoaa]

ammyt thx a lot :)
problem solved already thanks to tele's enormous effort (he break down everything for me)
once more thanks for you effort too and all the best in new year :)
cheers my friend

[ammyt]

No, no, no, multiboot is already included in apt-get install nitdroid-installer package, and it will handle everything

[ammyt]

You do not need to root, it is already. Just OC using setcpu :D

codecs! e-yes kindly repacked nitdroid because he found out that gingerbread was missing sone files which caused codecs not to work. so he repacked it

[M00NB34M]

Anyone got any ideas? At all?

Im totally stumped!!

[ammyt]

LOL, I just discovered something :D. Do you want a vibrator :p? In gingerbread, open the camera lens, try it out :)

[legendsohai]

Hi guys, I don't know why my nitdroid gingerbread getting low battery notification on a fully charged battery while maemo showing full battery.

Is it I have to do some mod on it? Any ideas?

[DaReaper]

[ammyt]

Hi guys, I don't know why my nitdroid gingerbread getting low battery notification on a fully charged battery while maemo showing full battery.

This is because bme (battery management) isn't quiet stiff in Nitdroid, so you take the average of both readings :)

[Turkishflavor]

there is missing the poll option: "dont need android. maemo is much better."

[ammyt]

lol srsly ? xD time to dump to those old vibrators i have

Ya, but be sure to have spair parts ----> haptic feedback on, then open the lens :p, the device will start rumbling till you get the tiny popup message: application camera not responding in other words I'm a mobile phone I'm not a ***** :p

[ammyt]

there is missing the poll option: "dont need android. maemo is much better."

Well then keep it to yourself. Seriously, we're all testing and having fun and sharing problems, ideas, jokes. It is a community where noobs and pros live happily. We all love Maemo, but at least this can let you test more android apps. So if you don't like it, don't be a troll, and show some respect to those devs.

[legendsohai]

This is because bme (battery management) isn't quiet stiff in Nitdroid, so you take the average of both readings :)

ohh! thanks for your info, haha! im quite outdated :)

I found that the low battery notification and led notification is kinda annoying, any way to disable it? :confused:

It already does. Just instll flash10.1

[kyllerbuzcut]

Sorry, but I don't think anyone else has asked yet, and somebody has to be the first to do so. lol.
BTW If anyone watches QI this is the bit where my question would immediately flash up on the screen behind me and I'd lose points:)
So, here goes,,,,,,,,,,,,
Does the gingerbread update include a working flash as well?

EDIT. Hey where did the post above come from? lol That wasn't there when I typed this. honest.

[kent_autistic]

i already have 0.9 installed to my emmc.

how do i go about installation of gingerbread? do i have to uninstall everything then reinstall?

on which part of the first post should i start with?

is gingerbread using a new kernel or its still the one used by 0.9?

[sansar95]

i have an frequent reboot after installing 2.3
I have installed on EMMC and did not remove 0.0.8 file is because of this it is happening

[hidetoshi777]

It already does. Just instll flash10.1

Any video works with me.

[kyllerbuzcut]

Any video works with me.


yeah. videos work with 0.0.8 but not flash content. It won't let you install flash 10.1 even with the official installer downloaded. It starts but then says device not supported or something like that. That's why I was wondering if the lastest ginngerbread/0.0.9 solves this.

[ammyt]

I just added a brief guide on how to apply the updates of gingerbread in the interesting stuff section of my first post. :)

[tele]

is skype working with voice? and what about voip? any one tried it?
i installed gingerbread but didnt like it :D so back to 0.0.9

main issue is the accelerometer. It's not working properly :(

[tHMZ]

just install xp mode

[edgedemon]

Im stuck on this install.
I have followed the steps in the first post and I get to the multiboot bit

leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/1 (then press tab on your screen)

When I follow this I get an empty file with no txt

If I do a 'ls' for /etc/multiboot.d

I get

00-Maemo-2.6.28-omap1.item
examples
README

There is no /1 folder

What have I missed?

Cheers

[tele]

try leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11*

[luiscesjr]

You do not need to root, it is already. Just OC using setcpu :D

On Ginger, if you did not have a previous Nitdroid install
you won't have root.

[edgedemon]

try leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11*

Nope, no difference - is it a hidden file as I only have the 3 files listed above and no additional directories..

[tele]

another reboot i had maemo and nitdroid

There is no Nitdroid file? I only have the 3 files listed above in the multiboot.d directory
Im going to try the install kernel via app manager install after re-downloading the kernel file as it might be corrupted as App Manager just comes back with an error when I open the deb file with it
Will post back :D

Thx for the suggestions so far..

[mukati]

my wifi is not working it keeps on saying out of range and i APN's it doesnt show t mobile how do i fix this??

[ammyt]

Can I change the kernel that multiboot flashes when going to maemo? I have a 1000Mhz maemo zImage that I want multiboot to use instead of the ordinary one.

ammyt is right and please dont format it as nitdroid takes MyDocs as its memory card. and it will just format the 32gb including rootfs. you wont be able to boot into maemo. This has happened to me aswell like a month ago :P

[amadeukaos]

Guys, I still have a problem with space, the nitdroid don´t recognize my 32gb as a installation folder, given me only a fell MB to install, i´m keeping a signal warning of low memory...
How can I use 32gb as usable space, or configure an SDCard to use as installation folder?
Thanks

Happened to me. Using windows, connect your N900 (Maemo) as USB mass storage. On your pc, right click your N900 mass storage then check for errors, and fix 'em

[ammyt]

BTW connecting Nitdroid to a pc only works if Maemo is in General, Normal profile.

[atilla]

doesn't work for me i made all steps and nitdroid isn't installed.i tried nitdroid in xterm and it got stuck at ext3.
then i installed multiboot and it works but still no nitdroid.if i try nitdroid in xterm now its still stuck at ext3.
???

[rmarcus]

Your sdcard has nothing to do with the installation procedure. Androids files are visible in /and onc you mount /home /and

So...should I be able to see it through file manager?
cause I can't see it, is there anything I can do to fix it? apart from reinstalling it.

[amadeukaos]

You don't have to run nitdroid installer by "nitdroid" command, just install the installer package. Please follow the guide.

[tubeat]

how to connect to wifi ad hoc on nitdroid??

[atilla]

yes but if i tried it without the installer there was nothing.no nitdroid even after several reboots.now its installed but i have problems with my wlan connection and the flight mode.i think its a older version.
the kernel info gives me android 2.2.1

Can't find the 0.0.9 either, as I thought I might do that one instead. Have the files been removed or are they justhiding in plain sight and I'm being stoopid

[mido.fayad]

P.S. i don't care about you saying i'm too rude, cause seriously - there is end for any patience. Not first time, not first guy asking it.

Have you installed the new kernel using these instructions if so remove the red dot


Kernel update for Nitdroid:
1. Download the kernel from http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/zImage.
2. Connect your phone using usb to your computer and copy the kernel over to the phone (paste it in MyDocs) open up filebox and navigate to where you copied the kernel and copy the zImage.
3. Now navigate to /boot/multiboot. There should be a file here called vmlinuz-2.6.28.NIT.06. Rename it to vmlinuz-2.6.28.NIT.06.old.
4. Paste the xImage and rename it to vmlinuz-2.6.28.NIT.06.
Now you have the latest kernel installed!

EDIT wow i made a balls of explaining that i just mean dont put the dot after vmlinuz-2.6.28.NIT.06 when renaming

haaaaaaa, *sighs* I give up, Opera Mini sucks. Any ideas folks about it being not working with me? Any ideas, brainstorm them! The only reason I need it is because it is proxy-enabled, blocking that crap facebook blocked at our crappy school. Seems that there is no hope for me entering the communication world *sighs again*. Let alone Opera Mini, aren't there any other proxy-enabled web browsers working on Nitdroid?

I'll read and search through topic some more but here are 2 basic questions from complete newbie:

Can it be installed on phone's memory and if so do I need to flash/format?

I have 2gb microsd card, is that enough? And if it is and I can install on it do I still need to flash/lose all my stuff from maemo?

[peacekeper]

does anybody have an idea what to do?
recently i was looking into de differents apps that nitdroid has, and suddenly i enter into de settings/ wireless & network/mobile networks and i change the mobile operator from automatic to manual, now i dont have signal and i can not access to the mobile network sub-app, also the airplane mode is constantly disconecting me from the wifi connection what can i do?

[one1002]

erm..hello..i have managed to install nitdroid on emmc (p5), however, i got a red led blinking rapidly non-stop..

i didn't have the problem during the first startup..

are there any fixes to be made?i read somewhere (i don't know if this is for 0.0.9) about a patch for restarting BME, however, the patch will break wifi..

any idea anyone?tried to search, but nothing about this red led on 0.0.9..

i'd appreciate any help regarding this problem.. =) thankyou

use the following steps to rectify this issue. I had faced the same a few days back.

mount the android partition in maemo
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and

go to the data directory
cd /and/data

delete the ofono directory here.
rm -rf ofono

finally reboot into your nitdroid installation. u will find ur phone settings back at automatic and no airplane mode getting set by default.

On your sd card?
download nitdroid gingerbread in MyDocs then:

cd /home/user/MyDocs
bzip2 -d gingerbread.tar.bz2
cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/gingerbread.tar

I just reformatted my N900 - as in, both emmc and fw. I have no SD card (the holder is broken).

I finished the guide, but upon booting and choosing 2 at the OS-menu I get "root filesystem mmcblk1p2 NOT available!". When choosing 2, which is gingerbread, it clearly states mmcblk1p2 under "Device:" yet the .item file has INT_CARD p2. What gives?

Okay,

leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11* (press tab on your screen, a filename should come up ending with 11xxxxxxxxxxxxx.item)
In this file change ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2

Uhm, is there a fix for the keyboard? I installed the fix on the front page but I still can't write periods, Æ, Ø or Å. Language is set to Norwegian.

[canttila]

OK, i f*cked up totally!!
My N900 only starts and it turns off. i can not connect to it by USB.
Is there anything i can do to fix it back to normal Maemo style?

[Sieg Warhet]

Another thing - the DPI is rather high. Any chance of you guys decreasing that to normal settings? :)

[Fabry]

hope someone can give me a quick answer
1) is the installation mentioned in the first post include the the multi boot or do i need to install multiboot or uboot or any other bootloader separately
2) i have a backupmenu insstalled which has a bootloader do i need to unintall this one first b4 attempting nitroid

thanks a million

Now there is a solution to use BackupMenu under Multiboot

[funkmunk]

Yes you do have to format the EMMC and reflash the kernel if your installing NITDroid for the first time.

Read the WIKI on the first post.

[funkmunk]

One quick question I wanted to know is that if there is any significant difference in the gingerbread versions posted by mido.fayad and the one posted by ammyt on page 1?

[tele]

Yes you do have to format the EMMC and reflash the kernel if your installing NITDroid for the first time.

Read the WIKI on the first post.

NO YOU DONT
installing nitdroid wont delete anything on your 32gb (internal memory)
dont answer unless you know it. people like you make people confused so then they ask same question over and over.

2gb is enough although this method is for internal memory so you dont need the card!

also flashing kernel for nitdroid has nothing to do with maemo... stop spreading the wrong words

[ammyt]

Anyone?
From what I gathered it can be installed on emmc(aka phone memory) but do I need to flash/format it and loose data/settings?

No, No, No. The EMMC will not get formatted! You see nitdroid installation is summarized below:
You will download a package containing multibbot and prequisites called nitdroid-installer, only, youwill not run it just install it. Then you download nitdroid system files to MyDocs as an archive, then you unarchive them to a folder you will create in /home/user called /and. Then you install the kernel which is required to boot android's system files.

[ammyt]

NO YOU DONT
..dont answer unless you know it. people like you make people confused so then they ask same question over and over...

Because you didn't ground yourself before touching it? Just a guess. :)

really sorry ammyt and tele...i did not knw that maybe coz i did it from scratch i.e by formatting my emc to 8GB home n kernel n then installing NITDroid.

I am also just new to experimenting with NITDroid so im not completely sure of everything.However next time ill remember to give the right information to others.

Thanks again.

Also can any of u guys answer the question to my last post?

I guess I screwed bigtime. I installed the Battery mod application from the Market and now I cant enter NITDroid.

It just gets stuck loading the ANDROID name. Doesnt go any further than that? Do i have to uninstall and start all over again or is there a way u guys know of? Btw im on NITDroid 0.0.9

i think all apps are in this directory (for ammyt's emmc guide) /home/system/app/ boot in to maemo and go to this directory using file box or winscp or watever u prefer and den delete the application u installed....i think this may help if not then i dont hav any other ideas....:)

If i install e-yes's gingerbread is it already rooted or do i have to root it myself coz wen i had 0.0.9 there were some apps like flash player 10.1, angry birds & a few more that wud not install at all. I assume thats coz it was not rooted. So how do i root e-yes's gingerbread?

[M00NB34M]

FOR PEOPLE WITH PYMAEMO OPTIFICATION ERRORS

THIS IS HOW I FIXED MINE...THIS IS NOT GUARANTEED TO WORK OKAY? SO NO RAPING.

Basically, In /etc/multiboot.d/11* Where it says ITEM_DEVICE, make sure it looks EXACTLY LIKE THIS (assuming you have installed to eMMC and HAVE NO partitioned)

ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p2

Yes...No $ sign, and 0p2.

If you've installed to another partition e.g. Partition 5, it will look like this:

ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p5

I am no guaranteeing this fix, just saying it worked for me.

And anyone got a good way of changing the LCD density, this seems to have changed in 2.3, and i dont know how to change it :/

AND my keyboard is RAPED, as in, is unuseable! Any ideas? Gonna try the HTC keyboard now :D

What part of Step 3 are you struggling with? Have you tried these?

apt-get clean
apt-get autoclean
apt-get update
apt-get install nitdroid-installer

Give those commands a go (enter after each one, and make sure you are connected to the internet!!!)

what does the infinite bootloop with the red light blinking mean?

I THINK this is related to Low Battery, try turning the phone off, plugging in the charger and leaving it to charge!

Be careful though, NITDroid can be deceiving when it comes to shutting down! Yank the battery out to make sure its off, put it back in and leave it to charge for a while and start it back up!

This isn't an official fix its just what happened here and it seemed to do the trick! So again no raping please :)

Hope this helps!

it's already install by default, you just need to load it up

when you are on the home screen, use the lock button (the one next the headphone socket) click add, widgets and it should there

a few questions..

1) maybe i'm just ******ed but the steps on the instructions are 1.2.3.4.5.and then 9

there's no step 6, 7, or 8? what the hell?

2) i've completed everything, steps 1-9 minues the missing ones obviously, and everything is fine except step 9. everytime i do that leafpad opens up and seems to open up a file called (1) at the top, but there's nothing in there. it's just a white page of emptyness.

3) this is technically a continuation of the previous question: when do i hit 'tab' in xterm? do i type the leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/1 command and then hit enter, and then go back to xterm after the n900 opens up leafpad and hit tab? what's the point of that. i'm confused.

(sorry if i'm just daft. i'm confused hands down.)

4) i tried rebooting (having not completed step 9) and multiboot loaded properly and everything, except that if i hit '0' it boots Maemo like it should, but if i click '1' it still boots maemo. what is going on?

thanks in advance. it would be great to get this working. i'm pretty sure this is some trivial issue, but i'm stuck.

Sir how do you revert back to 0.0.9
do i need to reinstall nitdroid installer or just copy the 0.0.9 img and kernel into the respective area and change the multi boot config file accordingly ?
appreciate very much if you can post a detail step by step on how to revert back to 0.0.9

thanks in advance

[Tab] is the soft key on the Xterm screen and this will auto-complete the command.

Do exactly as the instructions say:
leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/1 (then press tab on your screen)

This command should then complete with the name of your file to edit, so then press <enter> for leafpad to open the file for editing.

To see the multiboot item files you have available type:
ls /etc/multiboot.d/

You could provide the file name direct to leafpad with:
leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11-NITDroid-mmcbl... (etc. as per the filename)

Once your at that blank screen use the slider button on the right side of the phone which will bring up a window with Add APN. click that and enter your details as needed.

Nope.. Just install GingerBread. I followed the exact same steps and it works on my N900 :/. Are you sure that you didn't miss-type anything or skip steps?

have got gingerbread up and running in emmc.

only two issues left
1) overclock the nitdroid. do i leave the oc profiles in /etc as it is or do i rename the file and move it to another locations

2) nitdroid detect my 8 gig sd card but also complain its damaged or corrupted. tried to reformat it in nitdoid without success
please help

[raptoro07]

DO NOT FORMAT SD CARD IN ANDROID!!! IT MAY FORMAT YOUR EMMC!! Corrupt SD Card becuase of remnants of 0.0.9. completely uninstall first.

Easiest way to overclock is buy setcpu attached on first post.

[peacekeper]

it's not damaged ,,,,,,,, :)

only u need to go to settings - storage - then press Moint SD card

and it will be mounted

remember that some times u need to repeat mount SD card untill it's being mounted

You shouldn't have to do anything. If your installation is like mine(I haven't done anything special), my Maemo contacts appear in NitDroid and you can navigate to your .Sounds folder to see your music too.

If yours are not showing, perhaps there was an error with the installation. Have a browse around and see how you go.

Good luck!

hey

android can't see ur music and videos because music folder in maemo is .music and so it's hidden so copy them to another folder

and try player pro for music , it works ver good

about contacts , connect ur n900 to pc suite and select all ur contacts and copy them to any folder and then copy this folder to ur mobile and open nitdroid

then open contacts and choose import/export then choose import from sd card and then copy all and u wiill have all conatcts in nitdroid :)

Re 1):

Overclocking and power management is managed by the file: /and/system/etc/power.conf

In Xterm:

root
mount /dev /and
cd /and/system/etc


Copy in your suitably named modified file(s), rename the current 'power.conf' file (to keep an original copy), then rename you required file 'power.conf'

The Android widget 'Temp+CPU V2' is useful to confirm current CPU speed, usage & temperature.

I got this to work for me following the instructions, but I've just noticed something today. I may have somehow mounted too much stuff to /home somewhere along the line. What's the best way to check which mountings I don't need. I have run the mount command in xterm and I believe the erlevant section I have are:
/dev/mmcblk1p1 on /media/mmc1
/dev/mmcblk0p1 on /home/user/MyDocs
/dev/mmcblk0p2 on /home

I believe the last one there is where the android files got set up.
Is there any other/better ways of checking this?

The reason I am checking this out is because I looked at the DiskUsage app and my /home is full. All the characters are screwed up and just show up as squares now and I cannot update anything ( because it thinks /home is full.

If there is any linux experts who could lend a hand I'd be very grateful. Any other other things to try would also be appreciated.

Thanks for all the great work so far:)

How do you do a clean reinstall of NITDroid? I want to go back on 2.2.1 but everytime I reinstall 2.2.1 I got billions of errors on screen something stopped working ...blah.

I assume you have installed NITdroid with nitdroid-installer.

1. First, open Xterm and drop to root.

2. Mount your nitdroid partition on /and.

Code:

mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and -o noatime


3. Run the uninstaller scripts.

Code:

nitdroid-uninstaller


4. Unmount

Code:

umount /and


5. If you are not going it install NITDroid again, you can also remove nitdroid-installer:

Code:

apt-get remove nitdroid-installer
