Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic

I've just read through the installation guide and it doesn't give any instructions for flashing to a different kernel. However in the FAQ it says you have to use a different kernel.

I'm a bit confused. I hope someone can help me with this.

My only problem is that android market says: starting downloading an it takes for ever.

This is still a problem with android market itself.

And for some reason happen frequently with some networks and never with other.

Here in italy, vodafone (which is incredibly fast) is affected, tim (reasonably fast) is less affected, Tre/h3g (which is damn slow) is not affected.

Google should investigate this behavior, but after so many releases the problem is still there.

then follow the below guide substitubing the <fat32> with the size you have choosen for your fat 32 partition. the EXT3 PARTITION MUST be under 2gb in size.

Code:

sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF

,<fat32>,C

,,L

,,

EOF

I think adding this would be great for those that will try this for the first time

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!

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic

could someone give me a real example of the partition code like above using 2100 (4gb). thanks.
