The Grand NITDroid Thread - NITDroid ICS Upgrade!

[amritpal2489]

yeah.. they are...

[raptoro07]

Anyone else having superuser issues. I did the superuser patch and then installed Set CPU attached on page 1 of this thread, but It tells me I am not running as root, and said there is a problem gaining root access. Anyone know how to get around this?

[mathina8]

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 ;)

Hey all! New guy here.... I have added the Tmobile's IPV6 Beta Network Connection which it's working and the download speeds are great. However, when I installed nitdroid it stoped working. I imagine its because they may have conflicting kernels. Has anyone been able to install both. I really don't want to choose between the two. Thanks in advance.

Both installed and are working by themselves, i.e., IPV6 beta working on maemo, and nitdroid 0.09 working by self. No luck to make ipv6 going on nitdroid. Anybody?

[No_LiMiT]

I'm still getting only free apps in Market, and not all for that(was looking for new Playstation official app). Is it possible this is due to my country or IP?

Tried fixes few times but they don't bring up more apps :s


Edit: There's no Paid tab on applications even, just free. Also tried market-enabler but it says Houston we have a problem :/

[jerryfreak]

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

woohoo! i have 0.0.8 installed and have been holding out for voice before i deal with upgrading. hopefully soon. major props to the nitdroid devs!

[rahularora21]

since ive installed nitdroid .8 on my n900, my "about product" in the settings has changed.
The Version no more says Maemo 5 but <unknown>
this happened to anyone else?
small non noticeable bug, but just wanted to know if its just me or happens to all phones in general.

[kazuki]

being able to go back n forth between maemo and android is definitely cool. i decided to play it safe n installed 0.0.9 instead of gingerbread. and since playing with android, i've learned to appreciate maemo so much more, n i have done so much less complaining. a shamed that maemo had to end.

on another note, i find one thing very annoying. whenever i'm switching back from android back to maemo, my battery status in maemo is always 0% even when it was well over 70% when i left android. i suspect it has something to do how android and maemo reads the battery differently. was there a fix for that somewhere in this 152 pages thread that i missed?

edit: i just tried and switched back from android again. i typed in the usual lshal|grep percen n it returns a 0%. i figured that doesn't really make sense. if that was true, my device should've shut itself down on its own. though it does keep giving me the low battery notification on the minute.

[one1002]

hurmmmm...i still can't use the market...

i installed the nitdroid on my internal memory mmcblk0p5..and the size allocated for nitdroid on mmcblk0p5 is 4GB..

i've read somewhere that nitdroid needs to be 2GB..does it mean i can't fix the market issue because the 4GB size on mmcblk0p5?

quoted from nitdroid website
The Android partition can only be 2GB, so you need to create a FAT partition that is so large there will only be 2GB left. The number must be in MB, example some recommended sizes are 1, 100, 2100, 6100, 14100, 30100. If its 8GB you can choose a number like 6100MB, if its 4GB you can choose a number like 2100MB. If your memory card is 2GB or below, you can choose 1MB as a number If you do not do this correctly you will not be able to use Android Market!

the battery issue along with maemo being so much better is why i even stopped trying to dual boot.


unless my device was plugged in, i could not run nitdroid. it would always flash my led red and start shutting down immediately, yet my maemo was just fine.

:/

never could figure out why...but it doesnt matter, maemo is still much more fluid and confy.

[llBlackenedll]

So I've installed these successfully, however I'm not too keen on it being in /home, I think I'd rather repartition the eMMC. However, it's hard to determine from the wiki (http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning_the_flash) exactly which solutions are 1.2+ compatible. I wanted to do solution #2 (where you basically use fdisk to delete MyDocs then repartition its space), which from what I can gather, SHOULD work on pr 1.2+ because it does not appear to touch /home, however the wiki does not indicate that it is compatible. Could anyone clarify?

I was hoping to have a 21gb MyDocs (the same as it is, just smaller) and 3x 2gb partitions for other operating systems.

I don't think this is a problem caused by Android.Possibly some kind of issue with the battery % read function?
Happened to me some time a ago.But before I attempt to take a look at the cause of problem I bricked my phone had to reflash anyway.

No.Market fix don't have anything with the disk space.Just try the fix few times.

In case anyone is interested, I followed the guide (but used my own values and created 3 partitions) and it was fine.

[confusedfella]

Is the gingerbread port faster and hangs less than the 0.0.9 build?

[Psycho]

we can already receive sms in nitdroid

can we also SEND sms ?

[Armstrong Dicksmasher]

can we also SEND sms ?

NO

When we can eyes will announce it for sure.
So for now just keep quiet & go play some Android games.

[sentfromheaven]

I know i read it somewhere, i think :S
but i cant find it again 153 pages is a lot..

anyways,
how do you fix the screen in gingerbread?
like when i play paper toss,
the screen is pushed up kinda?

where the n900 is written, its just black underneath.. its very annoying, because you cant see the whole screen and i love papertoss, is there a fix? or is it just the game?

How do i delete apps that is install in nitdroid.
never mind solved

[hoortiz]

Someone have installed gingerbread and do the market fix, i didn't see some steps to follow.

[brighi92]

Hello everyone. I'm using nitdroid 0.0.9 cause is more stable than gingerbread (for now), and i can't install any app from the market.. why? When N900 is downloading an app it remain write starting download, but dont happen anything. Bye from Italy, and thanks for all :)

[Captwheeto]

@brighi92
I'm not sure if it's a nitdroid specific problem. Back when I had an android phone it did this and my friends' Droid X occasionally suffers from this.

If someone knew of a fix it'd be nice.

[agdroubi]

nitdroid 0.1 must be released tomorrow.

[Captwheeto]

nitdroid 0.1 must be released tomorrow.

What makes you say this? You've got my hopes up now :D

Hi there,

I installed Gingerbread and think it's great. However, my rootfs got full. i decided to uninstall but still have only 2% free, after disabling catalogs and doing apt-get.
My /and directory is still there so wondering if that's it but rm command doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

Keep up the great work, thanks!

I am kinda new to these things which is better and more complete Nitdroid 0.0.9 OR Nitdroid Gingerbread?

[renowong]

I am kinda new to these things which is better and more complete Nitdroid 0.0.9 OR Nitdroid Gingerbread?

According to e-eyes on twitter,
Gingerbread is now the mainline development (twitter jan 6 "#gingerbread will be mainline for #nitdroid development. THEY FIXED STRACE!!! :D")
So, 0.0.9 will stay "as is". I would recommend gb althought it is still in experimental phase. Also, as said earlier, it appears that the ofono API is working now.

[renowong]

Do you mean working voice calls??

Well, they didn't precisely said voice calls :D, but the ofono API is use d for Voice calls, SMS, Cell Broadcast, Supplementary Services and SIM Phonebooks, among others

i have been using gb nitdroid fr about a week nw... bt wenever i switch on the browser and load any site the browser just shuts down at arnd 90% site loaded... anyone else has the same prob?

[slai]

Ive got a little question about installing to emmc.

Is it possible to create a partition out of the internal memory so that if I choose to remove nitdroid it wont affect the maemo part of my system?

Last time I installed nitdroid 0.0.9 and put Gingerbread on top of it, then tried putting 0.0.9 over THAT again and so forth it all went to ****, and wobbling around in xterm trying to red myself of nitdroid completely for a fresh install was pure hell and led to reflashing the entire emmc and fw =P .

So thus Im wondering if there is a way to test this out some way that would make removal clean and easy?

[kazuki]

i had the same problem at the start. to fix that, as soon as i started the browser, i stopped it, then i manually type in google.com, or if the page loaded halfway, just pick the desktop version. then go to settings and set that to ur homepage. no more crashing for me.

if you want to install gingerbread, uninsttall 0.0.9 or install or a different partition. Well this is recommended. and you cant install 0.0.9 over gingerbread :D
I'm guessing you used the rm-f command? should have deleted files using filebox...
you could repartition mmc and install on a diffferent partition or memory card.

[slai]

Hm it seemed earlier in this thread that installing gingerbread directly over 0.0.9 was a good idea, doe reasons I cant remember riiight now :s .

I'm guessing you used the rm-f command? should have deleted files using filebox...

Oh I did a lot of things. rm -f was not one of them. I just didnt realize that removing /and was a bad idea, I thought in my infinite stupidity that deleting files in that folder was riskfree, also it seems like a ton of files go out all over the place, and with no idea what to delete and what to keep it all went to hell =P .

you could repartition mmc and install on a diffferent partition or memory card.

Thats exactly what I want. Except the memcard, as I dont have one.

The question is: how do I go from me, who knows nothing of these matters, to actually achieving this =) ?

[tele]

that was because some of the files were missing in gingerbread. but now gingerbread has got 3 different updates which completes the missing files... so new installation is recommended

[slai]

Ah thats nice to know =) . But still seems a mess to remove if installed to emmc?

[tele]

not really, follow the instructions on wiki... and use filebox to delete folders :)

[slai]

Hm thats what I did last time ;) . Using Filebox. It was more the "what to delete" part that seemed weird. I deleted what the wiki said to delete, and **** got messed up on my phone. Like icons would disappear after I deleted certain files/folders. A lot of folders couldnt be deleted until I went down in the directory and found the specific file that refused to be deleted, and deleted it explicitly.

[tele]

hmm not sure why :D i've personally done it more then 5 times and worked for me...

icons would disappear - this is when you deleted your whole rootfs not just /and folder :D :D

[slai]

hmmm maybe I did something wrong during installation... ****it, Ill try again. Not sure wether to give 0.0.9 or Gingerbread a try, which would be the better of the two in your experience =) ?

[tele]

0.0.9 is more stable for games and also internet. accelerometer is nearly perfect :D
wait for the next release of gingerbread if you want to install gingerbread :D

[salazar]

What is the difference between Nitroid 0.0.9 and Android Gingerbread 2.3.1?

[slai]

Hm a quick googlesearch on the differences between froyo and gingerbread could sort that, I think...

This happened to me. I closed without saving, went back to x-term, and followed the last step again, except I actually pressed the little TAB button on the bottom of the xterm. Pressing TAB autocompletes the command for you. The file you want is long and complex, but it's the only one in that directory that starts with "1", so when you press TAB it finishes the rest of the filename.

APP Market Fix:
1.Open the Market app (from the Home screen or app launcher)
2.Leaving the Market app running, return to the Home screen and open the Settings app again
2.Within Settings select Applications → Manage applications → Running (from Tab at top)
4.Scroll to select the Market app → press the Clear Cache button → then press the Force Stop button (Do not press the Clear Data button)
5.Press the back button (to go back to the list of running apps)
6.Scroll to select Google Services Framework → press the Clear Data button → OK (to confirm) → then press the Force Stop button
7.Return to the Home screen
8.Launch the Market app again, which will give an error "Attention an error has occurred..." → OK button
9.Shutdown by holding power button → Power Off → OK
10.Restart, wait for wi-fi to reconnect, open Market again (You may have to reboot several times and check Market)
The opening Market screen should no longer be blank, and many more apps (free & paid) should now be available. (Although apps can be downloaded, a few may still fail to install or run properly).

I pressed camera button but when settings i go Applications → Manage applications → Running there is not market app? Why? What i did wrong?

[Reffyyyy]

It really is unbelievable how stupid some of these posts are.

[5spdvl]

I gave dual booting into NITdroid 0.0.9 a quick go; got into it, but for some reason I had no cellular signal (guess the SIM wasn't being read) or wifi, so I couldn't get past the Google sign in. Meh, deleted it all.

[salazar]

How i can overclock Nitdroid Gingerbread with setcpu? Max and Min slider doesnt allow higher than 528mhz... How i can overclock it to 950mhz or so? I have installed all updates and poweruser. So how do you overclock it over 528 mhz?

[coldwayz]

Hey all,

I'm seeing a lot of people having the same problem as me.

I installed Nitdroid 0.0.9, and I was unable to get data/3g. so then I installed gingerbread. neither works with the data. I set up my APN, and I get nothing.

Someone! Please, help!

[salazar]

Why my screen is not full when playing some games? Theres black each side and bottom at screen?

[dchky]

i've personally done it more then 5 times and worked for me...

icons would disappear - this is when you deleted your whole rootfs not just /and folder :D :D

I've done it the wrong way, just the once :D

click click click - oops looks like I messed up the android install...
Let me do an rm -rf /and right here, then start over.

Er, wtf? WTF?

Backups are cool.

[funkmunk]

You got to change the LCD density for it to show fullscreen.Please read this thread from page 140 onwards.It is mentioned by ammyt on how to change it...

I have got both NITDroid 0.0.9 & Gingerbread installed on my phone and have 2G & 3G working fine & normal.Please check ur APN settings and remember to save them before you quit settings from Android.

My Android is a little bit slow and pretty unstable at 800-900mhz max frequency is this normal? How are yours?

[tele]

download taskiller from market. and use that to free up ram.
this will speed up android and games will be less laggy.

if you go into settings then application then running. close down the apps which are not needed. this would help your android to be more stable

[agdroubi]

My Android is a little bit slow and pretty unstable at 800-900mhz max frequency is this normal? How are yours?

my nitdroid is extremely fast, and very stable at 1150mhz. I think there is something wrong have been done.

I take it you're in Root yes?

And try this before running the .deb file:

mount /home /and

This should...well...mount them i suppose! But make sure you are in Root first!

Hope this helps!

How much faster is Gingerbread than Nitroid 0.0.9?
And second question when is next release or update coming?

[m4r0v3r]

for a reason everything stops unexpectedly. when I boot into android any idea why? this is with gingerbread. Also how would I have Android on my MicroSD card because it's eaten up my opt

Hello,
Nice to find all of you people here.
Thank you for this great tutorial.
I have installed successfully 2.3 to eMMC and configured Multiboot to boot from it.
But when I have my memory card inserted Multiboot tries to load from it Nitdroid and nothing happens.
What is the problem? Do I need to configure anything else to ingnore my memory card?

Thank you all for your great effort!

[coldwayz]

I have got both NITDroid 0.0.9 & Gingerbread installed on my phone and have 2G & 3G working fine & normal.Please check ur APN settings and remember to save them before you quit settings from Android.


I made sure that the apn settings were correct, even tried different sim cards. it shows signal, but no internet :mad:

[suihkulokki]

This time managed to get gingerbread to work. Now some questions.

How do I get astro file manager installed? The Marketplace cannot find it, and without a astro file manager installed, there is no way to install the astro file manager .apk from the sd. Kind of and chicken egg problem. Is there some alternative (command line?) way of installing apk files?

Second, the intertubes say nitdroid is "rooted by default". However, in the android terminal the "su" command fails with "no permission". On rooted droid2 when hitting "su" a popup appears asking if I should grant root to the terminal or not. How do I get "root" if not via su..

I AGREE WITH YOU
After almost i think 1.5yrs we are not having one single version of working port.
The team behind should concentrate first to make call and sms working so that if anyone is using can be reachable.
Not every body is rich AND can afford two handset.
Then also all the best to NITDROID group specially e-yes for there wonderful effort

thanks for agreeing with me. Some people will think that we are not thankful to e-yes but of course we are. Some people may start silly comments too. We are talking the reality, and others are talking in a silly way.

[n13903]

Please, NITDROID group make it posible for the N900 users to forget about Maemo and be able to use one fully operational version of Android with great Google apps, voice calls, sms, gps and all features :)
We all hope that you are near with making our dream come true with fixes, debugs and updates on Gingerbread.
All the best for the NITDROID group.

[met0001]

hey guys.
just wondering how you guys are getting apps and games?
through market place? cause mine sucks.
had maybe 50 games in total and when searching games/apps hardly anything comes up.
so is their a fix for this ?
cheers brad.

[cybermae]

Should I partition my eMMC before I follow the steps listed in OP?


Also is it possible to follow this tutorial and install Gingerbread on a 4gb SD card in My N900?!

If it is,Should I partition the card or anything before I follow this tutorial?!

[t4ure4n]

I have a quick question:

In my nokia n900 i have only got ~65MB free space for rootfs and 980MB free for home directory.

So does nitdroid get installed in home directory?
Where do the applications which I install within Nitdroid go? home or myDocs.

It might be a silly questions but I don't want to loose space for Maemo Apps.

Oh. Sorry. Where is your working port on android on the n900? Because it's so easy right?

Porting it in the first place was impressive. Now they have to deal with closed source drivers. 1.5 years is nothing when you have a job and others things to do with your life.

Do you still have any hope about maemo or even meego?? Android and iOS are the most popular and they are the future. Nokia is making a big mistake by not bringing androd on their phones.

[p00ltergeist]

Ive got a question about the nitdroid projects... whats the difference between the 0.0.9 project and the gingerbread project ?

Is the 0.0.9 version simply a improved version of the 0.0.8 one wich ive read is android 2.2 ? In that case I guess the gingerbread project is the one with all the latest aspects? wich one is the most flawless one?


thanks =)

Why Nokia dont need Andriod.... Both iOS and Andriod are **** compared to Maemo, thats my opinion anyway yeah we dont have flash 10 and what not but multitasking on this phone owns both iOS and drioid.

I have installed Gingerbread and it is working fairly well, except that whenever I try to adjust setCPU, it crashes. I installed it from the first post.

EDIT: I fixed it. I had installed it by copying it to /system/app/, but it needed to be installed by clicking the file in Android.

Hi, i have problem when i booting NITDroid. This problem:
init: cannot execve('/system/bin/mediaserver'): Permission denied
init: cannot execve('/system/bin/keystore'): Permission denied
init: cannot execve('/system/bin/dbus-daemon'): Permission denied

I find, the problem was with bad permission and i must set chmod, but when i use command "chmod 777 /and/system/bin/*" (where "and" is my memory card) and then i start booting, problem still here. :(
How i will fix it, please? Sorry for my bad english.

try downloading the file gingerbread.tar.bz2 using wget command in x-term, if you download the file on your computer and paste it in .documents on your phone it will not detect the file, also for your information you can try this to check if the file is in mydoc or not

/home/user: cd Mydocs
home/user/MyDocs: ls

New updates added, custom emmcs added too, instructions on how to install each gingerbread update rennovated. (I just didn't want to repeat the word update)

[kyllerbuzcut]

might I make a small suggestion of something to add to the guide on the first page?

1. the instructions on how to un-install. I've seen a few people who have messed up and needed a whole reflash. This could have a list of the typical folders that it is safe to delete or keep.

2. the instructions on how to repartition without the need to flash, which also means you don't wipe any data and it's all done in 10 to 15 minutes.

Read the Wiki on how to Uninstall NITDroid..It is given in that all the files that you have to delete to completely uninstall it..

[No_LiMiT]

I did but just making sure I can safely delete all those so I don't screw maemo too.

yes u can safely delete all those that are given in the Wiki as normal Maemo has only 4 folders in there that should not be deleted.

First of all, my jaw is totally dropped cause of your work, just amazing!

It's really insane to dig thru all of the 167 pages, so I'm sorry if that problem has been solved before :) Everything is working good except strange wi-fi issue. It connects just fine, signal strength is good, but nothing actually work, like browser, showing me connection error message or widgets. Was there any similar case?

I've WPA encryption and I've tried totally open AP - same stuff. My router is Asus wl500gP, for that matter.

And thank you again, that's trully an amazing job :)

Try to disable your encryption, and see what happens.

Connecting wirelessly to your router confirms that your WiFi connection is valid.

The problem may be DNS. Try pinging a remote server (e.g. www.google.com) from another computer then noting it's IP address try the same on your N900 - if pinging the hostname fails and pinging the IP address works, then your N900 has not obtained a valid DNS address(s) from your router's DHCP service.

3G works.
as a matter of fact all data transmission works
u can even make and receive calls.. its just the voice which is not working at the moment.

Hi, a while back you responded to my post
can you tell me how to make the 3g data work on nitdroid?

[ercanmetin]

anybody knows how to reclaim more space for applications on Nitdroid...
currently I cannot install any apps
it says it is low on space...

this is mostly due to conflicts in your emmc. Try hooking ur device usb mass storage mode in maemo 5 to your pc and right click it then chec for errors. Also go to settings--> memory and check your memory for installable apps

[ammyt]

to be honest i've never used 3g, nor know a thing about it and all that dat plan stuff. I always use wifi as an access point

i did those but did not fix anything... a while back I repartitioned the mmc to install nitdroid (old version) to sd card.. now I honestly dont know how to repartition t back to its original size (8gb)
i now have nitdroid on phone memory If someone could walk me thru I will repartition my sd card back to 8GB

[Alfred]

go back to maemo, and click format on ur sd card in default file manager, but that will eventually erase all ur sdcard data

OK guys im having an issue with installing NITDroid, if you can help a n900 user out that will be much appreciated.

ok i have gone and got this link.
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=66459&highlight=NITDroid

now i had a major issue that when running this:

root
cd /home/user/MyDocs
bzip2 -d NITDroid-0.0.9.tar.bz2
cd /home
mkdir /and
cd /
mount /home /and
cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-0.0.9.tar
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-kernel-Mido.Fayad.deb

it installed the .tar into my rootfs, then the error saying i do not have enough free space.
the first time i didnt relise this and put in the last step:

leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/1

and it went through to open leafpad but there was nothing there.

just to let you know i want to install NITDroid on a MMC.

i have gotten rid of the junk in the rootfs and is all back to normal, actually have saved some space now im running at 84.28 mb free. (via conky).

[kingoddball]

got xTerm: Type df -h / Tell me the space left.

[hotkolbas]

went through conky and it was 0.0mb left. did a df -h to confirm used space 100% free space 0% so to say.

can someone plz help me. I wanted to remove gingerbread to install 0.0.9, so I used the tutorial at Xuggs blog.
mount /home /and
cd /and
rm -rf *
But than I noticed it was removing the /home folder, so I quickly shutdown the phone. After I restarted it I only saw the wallpaper en the menubutton all purple.
is there a way to restore it :S

[raptoro07]

reflash.

[achusaysblessyou]

Hey guys i need a little help. So i followed the instructions straight through installation of Gingerbread on my eMMC and after rebooting and trying to get into android, it tries to boot 2.3, but then it fails and i see alot of failure messages but the last thing it says is :

critical process 'service manager' exited 4 times in 4 minutes: <then something about starting recovery mode>

then the phone immediately reboots. I have also installed multiboot for the power-kernel (for overclocking) and i have 3 entries in my boot screen(omap kernel, power kernel and nitdroid).

Does this not work with the power-kernel? Did i do something wrong?

Thanks!

[Thargor]

Just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone involved in making NITDroid so easy to install. I got my 8gb Samsung Class6 yesterday and installed 0.0.8 using the autoinstaller in 15 mins (thanks to DjSteve and e-yes). And it ran very smoothly without any lag.
Today i decided to update to 0.0.9, this time took 5min (thanks to this tutorial and Xuggs http://xuggs.blogspot.com/2010/12/nitdroid-009-xmasdroid.html). The bug fixes all worked like a charm, and everytime i have googled a question i may have, i've been directed to this site.
All in all the whole thing has been incredibly easy, and it is in no small part due to threads like this.

Hi, sorry if I'm being lazy, but if someone remember, can someone say (or point me to the post with the explanation) what will happen if I try to install Gingerbread while I already have Power Kernel installed? I mean, will anything bad happen, can somewhat, should be as good as with the stock kernel (I'm afraid that while booting, something bad can happen like not recognizing kernels or something)?

Thank you!

i'm not sure if i have successfully updated to 0.0.9 (i manually installed it on my memory card, but it didn't indicate any form of success), but i think based on questions, you guys can tell me right which version i have?

1. can the main menu rotate landscape? the rest of the applications can, but the main menu doesn't rotate.

2. when does the vibration work? in my phone it kicks in whenever i hold the power button and when i type on the onscreen keyboard.

3. why can't i disable the airplane mode? i'm using my N900 offline (no sim card), so will it automatically activate to airplane mode whenever there's no sim card?

4. why does the browser keep crashing?

[quackers]

Hey.
It looks OK (for booting Nitdroid without EXTCARD installed), but I assume You do have an SD card in Your device?
Then try changing this line
ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p2
to
ITEM_DEVICE=${INT_CARD}p2


And I do see other difference, but not sure about their responsibility. Please see my files (all working):

i do have an sd card in there, but i (thought i) installed it to emmc using the instructions on the first page. the other 0.0.8 install worked fine on emmc, and i have another n900 with 0.0.9 on the emmc as well. cant remember if i had the card i when i installed nitdroid on those though

[elie-7]

here will nitdroid run faster on the internal memory or on a class 10 sundisk ???

[arono]

Should I install 0.09 or Gingerbread on internal memory? Also how much space will android have available, is the emmc images necessary ?

[aboudyba16]

hey bro
ma pro is that when i "tar xvf /home....0.0.9.tar" it gives me :
tar: cannot remove old file etc: it is a directory
i skipped that and completed the installation i booted nitdroid it freezes on android boot screen

it will be just as fast as internal memory, you wont feel much difference.. however the battery life isnt great on memory card..

@arono it is recommended to install gingerbread from scratch howver you can install over 0.0.9 but dont blame me if anything goes wrong

[da_nvncbl]

use the guide on the first page about overclocking maemo..

thanks for reply but I know how to overclock it but the problem is to overclock n900 on maemo you need enhanced kernel which I am not able to download because of the conflicts with kernel-maemo-modules, kernel-maemo, can you help on that to me????

Hi,

I have a problem. I just did a step

Installing Gingerbread to the EMMC:
root
apt-get update
apt-get install nitdroid-installer
y
y again if it asks again

and after I turned off my mobile phone by mistake (using maemo 5). And now if I want turn on N900, there is a message

NOKIA N900 - MULTIBOT
press a key to select
1 - Maemo 2.6.28-omap1

If I press anything nothing happen. Mobile can't connect by usb, because is in offline mode. I can't use N900, I can't turn on mobile.

Please help, I am not a professional.

Firstly, do you get the same message if you start up with the keyboard closed? Secondly, what happens if you press "0" at the boot menu?

I have already done it, thanks..

I had to press 1 on keyboard and now I am back in Maemo.

[ammyt]

thanks for reply but I know how to overclock it but the problem is to overclock n900 on maemo you need enhanced kernel which I am not able to download because of the conflicts with kernel-maemo-modules, kernel-maemo, can you help on that to me????

Firstly let's get things straight. This conflict did not result from installing Nitdroid as a reflash should eliminate Nitdroid completely. Secondly, even if Nitdroid is still installed you can't get that kernel confict. Now, to solve your problems, I recommend a flash or try this (may brick it):
root
apt-get -f install
Type this exactly as shown without anything after install.

I have next question. Autor write that the file http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/gingerbread.tar.bz2 have to be save in home/user/MyDocs. If I download a file I save it to N900/Documents by the computer. So If I after type to X term frase

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

I assume that you pasted the file in N900/.documents under your computer, but that's totally wrong. MyDocs is the root directory of your N900 under your PC. That is, just hook up your device to your PC, open it, then directly paste it there. Otherwise you can do it on Xterm:
root
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/gingerbread.tar.bz2 /home/user/MyDocs
It may not show clearly, but after typing gingerbread.tar.bz2 hit spacebar then continue typing /home/.............

[actiii]

Sorry for my idiot reply, but I still don't understand. So again, I connect N900 to computer by the USB. On N900 I click on PC Suite mode or Mass storage mode? I click on PC Suite mode, then in computer I have "apliccation" N900 (PC-Suite Mode) - you said "open it" what I have to open? N900 (PC-Suite Mode) and then paste a file there? It's not go, I can only save a file to (Audio Clips, Data, Documents, etc)

I maybe don't understand to sentence "MyDocs is the root directory of your N900 under your PC." English isn't my language, I am from Czech, so..sorry

Ehhem, did you see my post over yours? First, do you have a memory card plugged in your N900?

I did it without memory card. But you said -

Your .item file shall open under leafpad. Take a look at ITEM_DEVICE
if you're using an mmc be sure that: ITEM_DEVICE:${INT_CARD}p2
OR
if you don't have an mmc be sure that: ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2

So leafpad listed ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2 (it means that I didn't use a memory card, or not?)

And after I turned off the N900. What's wrong? I have to type ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2 somewhere?

[ammyt]

After this click on your N900's keyboard ctrl + s to save then exit.

mount /home /and
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-kernel-Mido.Fayad.deb
Then do NOTHING, just turn off your N900, and turn it on again, and choose Nitdroid.

I did it....................but the same process again.

1 - Maemo 2.6.28-omap1
2 - NITDroid 2.6.28.NIT.06 on mmcblk0p2

I click 2, then shows..

BOOTING - PLEASE WAIT

Kernel: 2.6.28.NIT.06
Params:
Modules: ext3
Device: mmcblk1p2
FS type: ext3
FS opts: rw, noatime, errors=remount-ro
linuxrc:
initfs:

it's there few seconds and after shows next thing

Root filesystem mmcblk1p2 NOT avaible!
Guru Meditation #00000025.62017712

From your quote:
Device: mmcblk1p2
mmcblk1p2 is the memory card itself, there should be something wrong in the 11xxxxx.item file...
Try this should work:
root
leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11 (then press tab and enter)
Change ITEM_DEVICE to ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2

Gotcha! Sorry I gave you the wrong directory: /etc/multiboot/ is wrong
it should be /etc/multiboot.d/11 (then press tab bla bla bla).
Just follow my upper post.

I did it and now shows a .item file like before, there is:

ITEM_NAME="NITDROID 2.6.28.NIT.06 on mmcblk0p2"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.NIT.06
ITEM_MODULES=ext3
ITEM_DEVICE=$ {INT_CARD}p2
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro

but there were are before.. there is mmcblk0p2.. I have this still open (leafpad) should i save it somewhere? but i think it'll be the same problem.

Do you have a memory card plugged in your N900? Please answer me please I'm begging ya! ;):p:(

[actiii]

Oh so.. I would change ITEM_DEVICE=$ {INT_CARD}p2 to ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2 so if it seems like this?..

ITEM_NAME="NITDROID 2.6.28.NIT.06 on mmcblk0p2"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.NIT.06
ITEM_MODULES=ext3
ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro

and after I save it (where)? and turn off N900?

[actiii]

I HAVEN'T MEMORY CAR IN MY N900.

So, Should I follow my upper post?

Finally! Yes, yes do it! Change ITEM_DEVICE=$ {INT_CARD}p2 to ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2 then click ctrl + s on your N900's keyboard and leafpad will automatically save it.
