First, I'm glad that you eventually installed a VM and took care of this. Thank you for your perseverance. Second, none of this requires Ubuntu specifically. I've been doing this with CentOS all along -- no Ubuntu. Finally, your adb issues may be linked to the tablet not being configured to support it.

On the tablet, look under Settings, Applications, Development Options, and turn on Automatically Enable Debug when USB is connected. Once that check mark is green, try your adb again. If it still doesn't work, you may have a process out that that needs to be killed and restarted. From a command prompt

ps axw | grep adb

and if you see a line with "adb fork-server server", locate the number in the very first field on that line (called the Process ID or "pid"), and then type

kill <pid>

replacing <pid> with the actual number from the first column. Then try adb again (from the directory where you stored it) such as

adb get-state

and see if adb starts the server and shows "device" instead of "unknown". I've been a Linux geek for 15 years, and this one bit me for a few days last week!

hello,
I have tried to do every steps that you wrote.
But it doesn't work.
when I tape the command
adb get-state
I see always "unknown".
What is the problem?
Thanks before

Although there is a way to open a terminal in vista (cygwin, etc), that is NOT what the instructions say. The terminal is opened in Linux (Ubuntu in my example). READ!

I pm'ed you this, but i think it bares repeating...

btw, i think you're just setting yourself up for disappointment.

There's not much you can do with NITdroid on the N8x0... plus there's no sound.

Not as cool (by far) as it is on G1.

Also, you lose maemo (unless you dual boot (maybe?) but I know nothing about that.

Just fair warning.

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.

Hiepnautik: please stop PMing me with requests to call you with help regarding Android on the N8x0. I said "no" and that should be good enough.

If you have questions, post them here, or try IRC.

Re: [Android] Guide to getting NITdroid to run.

Also figured this deserved posting....

I've tried a bunch of OS's, and honestly, Maemo works the best and provides the most functions. The only one I'd even consider recommending to a non linux-expert is easy-Debian, which you can get from Qole's repository.

For that, you need to open the application manager, goto add catalog, hit new, then enter the following info.

Catalogue Name: Qole
Web address: http://qole.org/repository
Distribution: maemo
Components: main

Then, goto all applications or whatever, and scroll down to easy-debian.

It's nice because it installs INSIDE of maemo.

Just seems like info that might be helpful to others out there.

(ISO's can be tricky.........)
