The Grand NITDroid Thread - NITDroid ICS Upgrade!

[flexman]

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!!!)

Hope this helps!


Thanks.......

I did that and this is what I get... Please help.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libwrt-api1: Depends: libwrt1 (= 1.1.0) but it is not going to be installed
nitdroid-installer: Depends: multiboot (>= 0.2.10) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: multiboot-kernel-maemo (>= 0.3) but it is not going to be installed
qtwrt: Depends: wrt (= 1.1.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: wrt-api (= 1.1.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)

what would happen if i were to type unmount all? Would it unmount the internal emmc too? Would it load up on reboot again? I haven't been able to fix my full /home yet and it must be something I did while copying android from sd card.

[fahadj2003]

first, as the other guy said, how do i remove gingerbread?
if im correct, files are extracted in home and formatting that will remove ALL the data

2nd.. gingerbread wont run.. red light.. android loading logo keeps on running.. its like an infinite boot loop..
any ideas?

[M00NB34M]

Gingerbread:

Browser keeps crashing whenever I opened it.
Is this a bug?

The home screen keep rotating to upside down.

Browser glitch happened here too, I fixed it by doing this:

Go to the search option,
Search for anything,
Navigate to Google.com using the address bar at the top,
Set this page as Homepage,

Browser SHOULD open up fine! I don't know why but it seems to have done the job for me, if it fails, try a different page like maemo.org as the homepage :P

Hey guys I am looking to try NITDroid so I would like to which one should I try

1. NITDroid 0.0.9 (Froyo)
2. Gingerbread by e-yes
3. Gingerbread by mido.fayad

Which one has the root access & wont cause much problems after installing?

If your after stability go for 0.0.9 as gingerbread is an experimental release at the moment. As for root access gingerbread does not have it yet but you might be able to do it in 0.0.9.

[Bens]

Can anyone recommend a good class 6 or 8 mmc that works well with Nitdroid?
I want to buy Kingston class 10 but some reviews say it's not much difference with class 6.. And kingston doesn't make class 6 and 8:(

I'm currently running gingerbread with the new kernel from an 8gb class 6 Transcend SD card and it works great. Has good speed and very few force close errors.

You won't need an sdcard!

[ammyt]

That does it! I'm going to update the first post with instructions for installing, and follow them step by step!

Getting PM'd for such stupid questions, (sorry I am forced to say it this time). I updated the first post, just issue the commads as written there and you (everybody) will be fine. AND I REPEAT, DO NOT RUN THE INSTALLER FOR NITDROID (NITDROID INSTALL) ICON IN THE APLICATION MENU, JUST DOWNLOAD IT VIA XTERM, THEN DO AS WRITTEN.

[ing005]

Finally we can play Angry bird season

Ha Ha Ha

[geekygenes]

I followed all the instructions for installing gingerbread to the emmc(internal storage) in the n900 and the boot menu kept stalling and I couldn't select the second option to boot andriod and booting maemo failed, I suspect the power kernal again is causing issues :(

Anyway the only way I could fix this was going to mcdonalds lol :D as my cell phone provider is my only access online and I used there wifi but they have a download restriction so after every 12 mb of data downloaded the connection brakes so, I used Firefox and the flash got addon and used wget using the flash got link option by right clicking on the link and so even if the connection brakes it just reconnects and carries on downloading the data into the same file.

And the re flash went smoothly suprisingly and was a success and no data corruption :)
Thanks maccys "a big mac and a flash" lol :D

[kyllerbuzcut]

OK I think I narrowed my problem down to this line:

/dev/mmcblk0p2 on /home

Could somene a bit more learned in linux please confirm that this is not the n900s own internal storage before I attempt to unmount this. Also, will the command "unmount /dev/mmcblk0p2 " do the trick?

The full text of the line as it appears when the mount command is entered is:

/dev/mmcblk0p2 on /home type ext3 (rw,noatime,errors=continue,commit=1,data=writebac k)

it's umount not unmount
why do you want to umount internel drive?

[kyllerbuzcut]

I DON'T want to unmount the internal drive- That's why I want to check that before I go ahead. I posted up a page or 2 back that somehow I must have mounted something I wasn't supposed to when copying from my sd card to internal emmc. I think that is why my /home says it is full on DiskUsage app and app manager won't let me update anything, even though when I look in Midnight Commander it says there is space in there. The conclusion I came to was that I left something mounted that was not supposed to be mounted- but I don't have the skills or knowledge to know what- so that is why I am checking.

Any ideas:)?

Hi

I have followed the steps you mentioned. The Phone is slow after that and when I check the Version of Android its 2.2.1...how to update it to 2.3 and it also give low space notifications.

Help anyone

[HammY]

1. Has anyone managed to move apps to SD card ?
FroYo (NITDroid 0.0.9) provide this as an option for many apps, but I have not manged to move any app :( - all give a failed to move error.

2. Also, has anyone tried Taking Tom Cat (or Santa) on NITDroid - I found that the play back audio on both would often fail by playing incredibly slow and at other times play fine.

[geekygenes]

Thanks for the fix I knew it was something clinical.
Just two more things thanks again in advance! :)
No1:How do you exit windows instead of rebooting thanks :)
And
No2:I have a UK T-Mobile Sim which can use both 3G and GSM, The network works fine in Android kudos! ;) But do I need to add network apn settings to access the Internet and how do, I add these thanks again :)

[geekygenes]

Okay I have added the correct APN settings and still no Internet access, Is there something wrong with UK networks with gingerbread?
Thanks Its much appreciated :)

[rocky272727]

Finally Got it working...Gingerbread,,,much better

[geekygenes]

Okay I have Gingerbread and the apn working but the browser does sometimes crash and I have problem logging in through the browser and the Youtube application crashes&reboots the phone.

[ammyt]

Please please please.... Can someone help me to get past this problem.. Thanks

A dependency hell, you're in trouble...

[geekygenes]

I had this problem as well to fix this issue go to the terminal on your N900 and type root and hit enter and then type the following apt-get install -f and hit enter and type y and hit enter to the necessary applications or packages to install and now type apt-get install nitrdroid-installer and hit enter or if you have downloaded the package manually type cd and type in the directory where it is saved and hit enter.Then type dpkg -i nameofpackage.deb and hit enter.
Hopefully this should help ;)

[perdigas91]

when installing gingerbread what should i do in this step?

what should i replace etc with?

when its says to press tab it says to press it in xterm instead of pressing enter?


9. On Xterm:
Code:
leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/1 (then press tab on your screen

i know this are stupid questions but i dont want to do any mistakes..

[gnasgame3]

my nitdroid is working fine
thanks to ammyt.
wifi 3G sms mms music everything ok

[perdigas91]

Nowhere, i just thought the etc was to replace something :(

sorry

Now, it opened, i dont have a memory card, so am i supposed to replace ITEM_DEVICE:${INT_CARD}p2 for ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2 in the line where it says ITEM_DEVICE?

I ask this cause in the tutorial doesnt say to replace, just says to look so it should appear ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2 but it appears ITEM_DEVICE:${INT_CARD}p2 instead.

Thanks

EDIT: ok, i did replace but i cant save, it says that it wasnt possible to open archives for writing whenever i try to save.

This was a translation from portuguese to english so it might not be exactly as it would say in an english n900

[geekygenes]

Okay so I have been looking for some updates for Nitdroid and I found the following files here. http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/
gingerbread_update1.tar.bz2
And
gingerbread_update2.tar.bz2
As well as some other files such as gingerbread_superuser.tar.bz2
And also camera.tar.gz.
How do I install these updates, I mean I know I need to extract but to where?
I am guessing the same place where I installed Nitdroid but will, I have to mount /home /and again and cd into the directory, thanks :)

It is all explained in the first page in the part where it says interesting stuff

[geekygenes]

I was right you do have to mount /home /and.
Anyway just to reiterate if anyone is wondering how to install an update or modification to the Android core.
Make sure the packages are in MyDocs and do the following ;)
root
cd /home/user/MyDocs
bzip2 -d nameofpackage.tar.bz2
cd /home
mkdir /and
cd /
mount /home /and
cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/nameofpackage.tar

Click this linkhttp://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/ :)
And download the following files and make sure you put them in MyDocs :)
gingerbread_update1.tar.bz2

Why are you bind mounting /home under /and? You can just cd /home and extract there instead:

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

forgive my noobiness:

when i follow the gingerbread-instructions from the first post, will it dual-install android or will it completely replace maemo?
and why would i want to install it to the microsd when its possible to install on the internal memory (it is, right?)?
how much space does gingerbread take up?

[geekygenes]

Because this is the way it worked as otherwise, I couldn't extract and overwrite the Android files.

[cloud596]

anyway. anyone here fix market on gingerbread cause fix way on the first post didn't work at all on running apps no market though I had minimize. an google service framework no option to clear cache. just stop nor force stop. hopefully after e-yes come from vacation he will fix market it doesn't work with gingerbread and anyway v 2.4 will release soon. could be google fix for market. I don't want to uninstall it hope it can install on v2.3.1

This way already dualboots android and maemo, and nitdroid is going to be installed in the internal memory a.k.a emmc in this way. Gingerbread takes up about ~150 MB

Yes I do believe I can help you with this, Instead of going to running applications click on all applications and follow the instructions except from one small thing.
With the framework clear the cache, reboot and then go back to the framework and force quit/stop.
And then reboot again and you may have to load The Market place once or twice :)
But this worked for me so, I hope it should work for you ;)

[GaRy delaMEr]

No, it's a bad Idea.

Because on next step: Install NitDroid.Kernel-xxx.deb

It extract file from this .deb file to /and/xxxxx

Hope this help !!!

ps: look in the deb file:
# dpkg -c /home/NitDroid.Kernel.xxx.deb
or
extract files:
# mkdir -p /home/extracted-deb
# dpkg -x /home/NitDroid.Kernel.xxx.deb /home/extracted-deb

I don't think anyone is interested, but I will give some feedback on
what I've tried so far.
I am using Ginger, @ 950mhz.

- Wifi does not work for me, can't find my spot ( adhoc problem? )
- Fruit Slice; Gt Racing games work for me, even thought they are
not fullscreen.
- Emulators like Psx4droidv2 and Gameboid are working, gameboid
looks good, but psx, well, maemo's version is way better I think.
( I did not try latest bonapart updates )
- Some apps work for me aswell, without porblems.
- Some others seems to be having seg faults, open
an app on android terminal emulator is a pain, and my debugger
is somewhat crazy, so for now it's all I can say.

I am using Ginger, @ 950mhz.

- Wifi does not work for me, can't find my spot ( adhoc problem? )
- Fruit Slice; Gt Racing games work for me, even thought they are
not fullscreen.
- Emulators like Psx4droidv2 and Gameboid are working, gameboid
looks good, but psx, well, maemo's version is way better I think.
( I did not try latest bonapart updates )
- Some apps work for me aswell, without porblems.
- Some others seems to be having seg faults, open
an app on android terminal emulator is a pain, and my debugger
is somewhat crazy, so for now it's all I can say.

Thx, I value this kind of feedback :)
I'm using Nitdroid 0.0.9, @ max frequency:
NFS Shift, Gangstar, Real Football 2011, Spiderman Ultimate, Let's Golf 2, GT Racing, Asphalt 5, Hero of Sparta, all of them are HDs and all of them are silky smooth.
Wifi, Browser, Keyboards, USB connectivity are all working.
So far so good:D but,
Opera Mini is my pain in the butttttt :mad:

[luiscesjr]

Opera Mini is my pain in the butttttt :mad:
Edited .: Was too gay, so what I mean, is, yeah, problems are
quite boring.
WiFi makes it impossible to test most of the games, and apps.
Do you know if Android has issues on wifi channels or so?
I get all my neighboors spots, the one that works...:(
Thx mate

Then you already have multiboot.
Still, update it, do what xterm says.:

apt-get install -f


Turn off the device, not reboot.
Turn it on, with the U key pressed, you will mostlikely enter multiboot.

there is no problem with gangstar with gingerbread or froyo

it works very good on both

but the problem in froyo is the sensor which doesn't work correctly in it

but u may use the old patch of sensor with froyo to play it

you will press the U keyboard key, keep it pressed, until multiboot appears.

The version I PM'd you shall work.

funny enough, ive not tried that one yet lol

im on it now, will post the outcome :)

thanks ammyt :D

[geekygenes]

okay just a quick heads up gingerbread will not charge past 51%
I'm not sure why but I am looking into it, If anyone else has this problem or has any information on this please post thank you :)

[geekygenes]

Okay I have been looking around and I think BME is the culprit which has supposidly been fixed but aparently not.
I haven't installed anything that should affect this and are there any other power management functions or programs around that can rectify this problem, thanks :)

[bhagiratha]

I install this gingerbread update on my n900, but still the phone doesn't work.

Is the phone suppose to work?

thanks

[geekygenes]

It should as it solved most of my problems but my gingerbread install is on the emmc(internal storage), I wouldn't of thought this would be a problem but maybe it is a mount issue with the micro sd.

[Kevstacey]

The version I PM'd you shall work.

works good apart from the screen is not on full and cant see the controls for actions, so can only run about :(

is there a file in the gangstar folder i can open with leafpad and edit the screensize to correct format?


thanks again ammyt :)

[geekygenes]

Okay here is my workaround for the charging issue in gingerbread :)
The first thing you will want to do is stop the confliction between the BME&sleep function to this go to settings, application, development and tick the box net to stay awake.
Now for the locking confliction this is not perfect but its better then nothing ;)
The second thing you will want to do is go to settings, display settings and click on screen timeout and set this to the highest especially if your battery is nearly flat and needs a full charge.
The third thing you will want to do is optional in terms of if you are going to be using Android whilst the phone is charging you can skip this :) If not please follow thank you :)
Okay so you want to leave the phone charging but the locking mechanism will kick in after even the highest value of screen timeout.
So what I do is go to settings, about phone and click on status and leave it on that menu and also please note you must use the phone or make an action after say 25 minutes as otherwise after 30 minutes Android will lock the phone and the confliction between BME&locking mechanism will happen and Android will kill charging the phone.
The BME is obviously not fixed in gingerbread as this is still happening.
Anyways these are my two cents to the problem and take this issue with a pinch of salt thanks ;)
Also you can help the speed of the charging along by changing to a stationary wallpaper and not a live wallpaper and also changing the display brightness and turning of all wifi and phone GSM/3G connections if you are not using these functions, I hope this helps ;)

[flexman]

Here is the deb file http://downloads.nitdroid.com/nitinstaller/nitdroid-installer_0.2.7_armel.deb ;)

Thanks again..... I am still having a dependency problem and cannot move on until this is solved..... I need help to get past this problem. Thanks

[geekygenes]

Okay if you are still having problems run apt-get install -f as root again and take note of any incompatabile programs and remove them then once you have done that try to install the nitroid installer :)

[boardnz]

Hi guys,

successfully installed nitdriod froyo and it runs fine. I thought I would attempt the upgrade to gingerbread and followed the steps here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=887394&postcount=1
I get to the end of step 5 of installing gingerbread and get this

"Creating item file for multiboot"
I get an error saying:
sh: /dev/mmcblk0p2: unknown operand

if i move on to step 6 i just get a blank text document in leafpad, any ideas on how to fix this?

[ammyt]

I install this gingerbread update on my n900, but still the phone doesn't work.

Is the phone suppose to work?

That was said a bizillion times! :mad: The phone doesn't work :mad: Please, read the FAQ or search the thread!

If your using Gingerbread, you should change the LCD Density back to 240:
root
mount /home /and
leafpad /and/system/build.prop
Change the LCD Density to 240, and tell me if it doesn't work :D

hello there..i'm having problem with my nitdroid actually..

whenever i have the microSD inserted, i have to change the ITEM_DEVICE to {INT_CARD}p5 for nitdroid to boot..

if however, i remove the microSD card..nitdroid won't boot...unless....unless i edit the ITEM_DEVICE to mmcblk0p5..

so now, the situation is, nitdroid detected the microSD, and won't boot from mmcblk0p5..it needs to be {INT_CARD}p5..without the microSD, it wants to boot from mmcblk05..

any idea how to fix this?

If you want to use a microsd:

[geekygenes]

Flexman go back into terminal and run as root and do the following :)
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libwrt1_1.1.0_armel.deb
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/wrt-policy_1.0-1_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/wrt-api_1.1.0_armel.deb
And then do apt-get install -f and afterwards do apt-get install nitdroid-installer or if you want to go down the manual package install route.
cd to /home/user/MyDocs and do the following dpkg -i nitdroid-installer_0.2.7_armel.deb :)

[Nixmix]

Firstly hats off to Ammyt, youre a legend.

Installed Gbread a few days ago and been loving it. Browsed through 138 pages of this thread and fixed most of my issues.

Only thing outstanding is that it wont allow me to creat a VPN,menu is blank, so created a post in the VPN thread for that. But if anyone here wants to chip in and help then please feel free.

Have noticed my n900 get really hot when running Gb, I assume this is due to the overclocking. When running maemo I usually get 26-31c but when running Gb its up to 41 and noticably hot in my hand, does make me worry about the h/w in my n900. Anything I could do to help there?

Okay two things.
The first thing is I changed the LCD density and for some reason MyDocs got unhooked and it couldn't find the sd card area.
I have Gingerbread installed to the emmc(internal storage).
But after I restarted the N900 it was fine but now it keeps saying pre paring sd card and there is a delay for the apps that have been installed to the sd card/MyDocs under /home/user.

And also I know there wouldn't be much point but could I, If I wanted to install Nitdroid 0.09 as well as Gingerbread :)
Thanks in advance!

yes , u can tripple boot

[gill_za]

ammyt,

Please correct me if Im wrong but:
In the Kernel Power Installation section

wouldn't it be enough just to run

apt-get install kernel-power-bootimg
apt-get install --reinstall multiboot-kernel-power

to generate the files necessary for the multiboot?

[geekygenes]

To triple boot do I just follow the instructions for Nitrdoid or do I have to mount it somewhere else instead of /home /and so at the moment Gingerbread is mounted under /home /and so will I need to mount Nitdroid under say /home /nitdroid?

[geekygenes]

I have read this thread and it does not help me mount and install both Nitdroid and Gingerbread on one parititon so in otherwords without partitioning anything, I have tried myself but If I mount say /home /android and try to extract and install I run into two things.
Number1: Either install and extract overwrites the previous Android OS.
Number2:The kernals can only be mounted and installed /and and again the problem of over writing each other :(

I am struggling to find a way to do this without backing up and repartitioning the flash storage.

[Kevstacey]

If your using Gingerbread, you should change the LCD Density back to 240:

Great fixes are included in 0.0.9, including airplane mode, wifi fix, and google sign in. In addition, some users reported that the app market already needs no fixes, but not with me, so let's keep this fix here. More fixes are included in the wiki if you needed them.
Alpha-numeric Keyboard FIX:
Download this:

The update are for gingerbread not 0.0.9
if you have gingerbread then follow this

http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/
download: gingerbread_update1.tar.bz2, gingerbread_update2.tar.bz2

place it in Mydocs and open up terminal and type
root
cd /home/user/MyDocs
bzip2 -d gingerbread_update1.tar.bz2
bzip2 -d gingerbread_update2.tar.bz2
mount /home /and
cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/gingerbread_update1.tar
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/gingerbread_update2.tar
exit
root
umount /home /and
exit

and restart and the new updates are fully installed :)

also regarding the keyboard. After downloading it, extract the file because its in .zip then copy the HTC_IME_hi22.apk to MyDocs. Now run android and open up filemanager and install it using file manager

[s.khiwani]

Brother,

I have installed Android 2.3 as per the instructions but It is very slow..
On the Welcome screen.. Its still on the same page after click the android ....
Please suggest..

Please suggest..

Please suggest..

you need to overclock it to make it faster after you have completed the first steps (android welcome screen). by default it's clocked at 600mhz :( you will only be able to change the clock speed when nitdroid has fully loaded! and every time you will restart, you will have to change the clock speed
so follow this guide

http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/
download gingerbread_superuser.tar.bz2

place it in Mydocs and open up terminal and type
root
cd /home/user/MyDocs
bzip2 -d gingerbread_superuser.tar.bz2
mount /home /and
cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/gingerbread_superuser.tar
exit
root
umount /home /and
exit

^that will enable root in nitdroid so now you can overclock.
apply the market fix which is on the first page. then after when the market is working, search for app in the market called "overclock widget" install it. add the widget to home screen and use that to overclock!
Also download "Taskiller" and use the widget to free up ram. this will decrease the lag in games :D

[s.khiwani]

I need to overclock every time when ever i m gonna use Android.. Sad :(

Hi mido.fayad,

I have copied the *.APK files to MyDocs folder and in Android I am using Filebrowser to run it and everytime I click on the file a pop up appears says, 'No applications can perform this action.

I am still trying to install SETCPU and install the HTC Keyboard fix from Page 1, but not having much luck.

Do you know of any other file browsers that can work? I've tried installing Astro File Manager from APP Brain but it keeps telling me to get it from Marketplace, but when I do a search there, it is not found..

Any ideas?

First, do the market fix as explained on the first page. After that is done (might have to try opening Market a few times for it to work) you should be able to search and dl Astro, which then will install those packages.

Ah! Cincibluer6, let me try that. I made the mistake of assuming that my marketplace was working, as i have been able to download some applications.

Thank you, I'll give this a try.

Guys i have running on nitdroid for sometime right now, both of them (froyo 0.0.9 and Gingerbread) and for me its been an excellent experience downloading, reflashing, and fighting with my phone in order to get the software. thks to mido, tele, ammyt who are the genius on this topic, and thks to the other guys who help on this thread. right now i am uninstalling nitdroid gingerbread cause i'll wait for the complete system to be release i mean (phone calls and all the rest of the features a software like this must have). i'll keep looking to this thread to see the updates and to know when is the software completely release. once again thks mido, tele, ammyt because if weren't for u guys this would be different.
good luck

I have read this thread and it does not help me mount and install both Nitdroid and Gingerbread on one parititon so in otherwords without partitioning anything, I have tried myself but If I mount say /home /android and try to extract and install I run into two things.
Number1: Either install and extract overwrites the previous Android OS.
Number2:The kernals can only be mounted and installed /and and again the problem of over writing each other :(

I am struggling to find a way to do this without backing up and repartitioning the flash storage.

Theorically it is possible a solution like this:

Use a big optFS (Maemo's /home), at least 4GB but bigger is better
Create on it an android directory with one subdirectory for each nitdroid version you want to install (i.e. Nitdroid 0.0.9, Gingerbread, Gingerbread mido's version)
sudo gainroot
cd /home
mkdir nitdroid-container
cd nitdroid-container
mkdir froyo-1
mkdir gingerbread-1
mkdir gingerbread-2
cd /home
Mount the directory
mount -o bind /home/nitdroid-container/froyo-1 /and
and install your Nitdroid (i.e Froyo) as usual.
Dismount directory when finished
umount /and
Mount the directory
mount -o bind /home/nitdroid-container/gingerbread-1 /and
and install your Nitdroid (i.e Gingerbread) as usual.
Dismount directory when finished
umount /and
Mount the directory
mount -o bind /home/nitdroid-container/gingerbread-2 /and
and install your Nitdroid (i.e mido's Gingerbread) as usual.
Dismount directory when finished
umount /and
Modify the multiboot's script to add a "pivot_root to subdir" capability
Create 3 multiboot's boot scripts (i.e. 33-froyo.item, 44-ginger1.item, 55-ginger2.item) with correct options on them


The most difficult step is to enhance multiboot's capabilities, but it is an rather easy job for people with linux's script skills

Hey Guys
Can anyone tell me how to reflash with custom emmc .Pls give step by step procedure

[one1002]

First, do the market fix as explained on the first page. After that is done (might have to try opening Market a few times for it to work) you should be able to search and dl Astro, which then will install those packages.

hello there..i have done the market fix..but i can't manage to find astro file manager to download..only other app found..openoffice document something and other one..

do i need to install it manually by putting the .apk file to /system/app?

[one1002]

owh and another one..how do u properly close app?

searched around the net but i can't seem to get a workaround..

long press the camera key only brings to home..holding it again, the app is still running..

[rishabsp]

press the camery key half-way.

[one1002]

press the camery key half-way.

half way only goes back..doesn't really close the app..it's still running..

and other problem..i copied the setCPU.apk into /and/system/app but all i got is "stopped unexpectedly.Please try again" with the button to force close..

[JoronenT]

i have the 0.0.9 installed and trying to install the newest version but have one problem.

when i do:
dpkg -i nitdroid.-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb

i get an following error message,
error setting ownership of `./and/system/lib/modules/2.6.28.NIT.06': Operation not permitted
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

i gained root before.

Any helps?

[JoronenT]

2.3.. latest one from nitdroid.de frontpage..

i think the problem is that multiiboot setting where reset and it's pointing now to my memorycard and i had memorycard inserted so it started that version..
when i remove memory card it doesnt start so i will change the start partition from multiboot and try again.. will post here what happened..

Well, if it is still saying that, it didn't take then. I suggest doing the fix all over again (from the youtube explanation if need be- can be found on the nitdroidforums) and you should only need to reboot once. Try rebooting just once and then open market, close it, open it again, close it, etc. I did it 10 times I think before it actually worked. To properly close, you can download (hopefully) Task Killer, or some equivalent. It is an app that is run so you can kill any tasks you have. It's a downfall (a serious one at that) of Android that you need an app to kill other apps but it is what it is.

Once you stop seeing the "no matching content" in the market, then you should be alright to download astro. Someone else alluded to using the stock file manager but I'm not sure that would work, even in .apk format. Let us know if you have any more problems though.

Edit- link to the nitdroid forums with the youtube fix for anyone who wants a visual aid (it helped me.)

Umm I signed up to this forum 10 mins ago, and I read the very first page of this detailed thread. If you did that, you will easily "conclude" that Nitdroid can send/recieve calls, with no voice and send/recieve sms's.

You can use the file manager open the kernel and install it in the app manager, then edit the .item file manually.

You can use the file manager open the kernel and install it in the app manager, then edit the .item file manually.

Airplane mode
in Android go to

and type

su
rr

and regarding the overclock
install filebox and leafpad in maemo using app manager and turn on root in filebox (second last button on the right)
then go to
/home/etc and you will find four file "oc-profile-250-500.conf" etc
rename one of them to power.conf
then open up terminal and type

root
leafpad /home/etc/power.conf

when in editing mode, you will find
Change these to look like these or your choice numbers.

Bit slow(starting apps and loading itself) but that might be just first time.


And quick question, can I delete or uninstall anything now? After I got it all installed? Like installer or those 2 files in mydocs

[Gulbar]

Need some help please guys and dolls.

In the WIKI it states :

After it completes, simply format your microSD card, then using filebox delete nitdroid's installation folders and files that were copied to home: bin, data, dev, etc (symlink), initrd, lib (symlink), mnt, proc, sbin, sdcard, sys, system, tmp, usr,default.prop, init, init.nokia.rc, init.rc

Should i delete the folders: bin, data, dev, etc (symlink), initrd, lib (symlink), mnt, proc, sbin, sdcard, sys, system, tmp, usr,default.prop, init, init.nokia.rc, init.rc ??

I want to try and delete all of nitdroid and start afresh. Have been able to install NITdroid 008 and 009 but appear to have the unknown operand error, when installing gingerbread.

Kind regards from sunny (yes sunny) UK

Yes! Then why is this written in the WIKI if you don't have to?!

:... Because i'm a NooB?? ... i read in another thread someone having issues with booting into Maemo after doing so, and thought perhaps certain folders and certain files in some folders needed deleting. I would hate to flash the device considering how old my pc is (12yrs old).

Thanks for clarifying this for me. :)

you only have to have 3 folders in ur directory that is lost+found,opt & user. All other folders have to be deleted.

most probably because many people have used the "fr -r" to delete the folder... and that deletes every thing from rootfs if you dont use it the right way. instead of deleting the /and folder... i doubt they couldnt boot because deleting /and folder. ive personally done thaat 3 times and havent had any issue :D

Here is a quick fix for the Android Market after following the instructions on the front page of this thread and you get the error when running the market app after rebooting after the fix and so you don't have to constantly reboot and hope for best.
Go to settings and then click on accounts&sync settings and now un tick background data and now go back to the home screen and run the Android Market application again and it will tell you that it needs this and enable it via the button to the left.
Now you may get a couple of server errors but keep trying and it will work ;)

Tried market fix(although I don't know how to leave application running in background since it wouldn't show on running apps, if i press camera key once or half way same thing, or even if I hold it and open settings), I only got free apps, none of the paid ones :/

[geekygenes]

Usually you just press the camera key once quickly not slowly :)
But if it doesn't show in running apps don't worry just go to all and you will find Market and the Google Service Framework there and just follow the instructions on the front page of this thread then reboot and use my tip if you keep getting errors when trying to open the Android Market ;)

It's amazing. Thanks for the guide ammyt. I would give so much for it to be fully functional as I have no need for it without calls/sms/camera/GPS but it's really impressive. Makes me kind of want to get an android phone again though...

[ammyt]

To have ASTRO installed sithout Market fix:
1. http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/astro-file-manager to download it.
2. Place it in MyDocs
3. On Xterm:
root
mount /home /and
mv /home/user/MyDocs/ASTRO_File_Manager_2.5.2.apk /and/system/app
4. Reboot to Nitdroid, you'll find it there :)

Thanks ammyt,
I just discovered a bug, if you're in offline mode, games would crash right once they're loaded. Can anybody confirm this?

[N900L]

anybody know if there will ever be a full functional call function for nitdroid.
Couldht they make a fix for this function so people can call me (and speak with me while im using nitdroid?
They should ignore other functions and concentrate more on getting the most important function working so people can use it as alternative os.

Hope some people agree with what im saying.

[amritpal2489]

just read on nitdroid fb page that they fixed strace and gingerbread would now be able to make real calls (with voice)
n new kernel version 35 has also been tested

Oh thanks for saying that, the Nitdroid team is working in a gigantic effort to get "phone features" working, patience!
