Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 
it's kind of useless information to normal users though, those preboot and boot information is only useful to developer or advanced linux users when debugging. Otherwise most users would prefered a nice simple Gui boot. if you can't compile it with gui buffer then is there a way to hack to boot gui screen in the foreground while booting screen behind the page. Similar to preboot stage of Ubuntu or Yellow Dog Linux. I personally like to see a nice and simple loading screen instead lol. I usually disabled that page and replace it with a still image.

Please try your best to make it possible :)
i really hope it is though.

A simple bar traveling from left to right would be enough IMO, maybe this can be implemented in the new bootmenu as an option? (user customized ones would be even cooler)

I ran into this problem when trying to put nitdroid too. I think the problem was because I wasnt typing in the right stuff. It is a little more time consuming but i would recommending opening a web browser and copying and pasting djsteve instruction step by step.

make sure you have already downloaded "rootfs" from app manager and make sure you follow step's and copy and paste everything exactly like djsteve wrote.


Note: i couldnt download Nano so i downloade Vim instead for text editing.

Edit: sorry i am totally off at what your asking..

I did the same thing you did so, I will tell you my steps to fix it.. I basically partion 6100 as fat and didnt know that the other parts was in ext3 so when i was in mameo os. I was like wtf only 6gb? did i mess it up. I reformated via n900 maemo and went through the steps again and it correctly took out micro card and plug it in and reformated it again and 8gb fat came back.. dont know if there is a easier way

maybe

command?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

HELP - rootfs Now 100% Used - N900 Goes Wonky
 
Hope someone can please advice....my N900 is going wonky on me all of a sudden...I just installed NITDRoid latest build the other day...

I'm booted up in Maemo PR1.2 right now...

1) First I noticed that AppMgr is acting weird, then realized that my catalog info is all gone! Re-entered Catalog Info and clicked Save button, but nothing does get saved.

2) So, checked my disk usage an now my rootfs usage is at 100%, was nowhere near that before...

3) Went back to AppMgr to delete some apps, but it won't do Uninstall, as it says there are no apps....

4) Went to Terminal to manually remove packages, but I get error message there too....

E: Couldn't find package 'X'..... ('X' is name of package...)

Any suggestions or is it reflash time once again????

Thanks!

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 
easy fixed, drop to root xterm then do the below

Code:
cd /and
rm -rf *
that'll get your rootfs back

usually means the microsd didn mount right.

ive not had any issues with maemo at all (tho multiboot installs more kernel modules so some extra rootfs usage is expected

So quick question, DJ_Steve's original post in the development says its running overclocked too.. How do we activate this for ourselves?

dj_steve 2010-07-13 06:30
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 
the kernel is able to do overclocking, but android not stable with scaling back the clock speed so id rather not explain how to overclock as i could cause all sorts of issues

I think it's in extrs-devel repo, try enable it and do the command again... If you have exras enabled you can do 'apt-get install leafpad' that will also work instead of nano, it's a text editor aswell ;)

Anyone still having problems with the home button not working? I looked back through the posts after the recent update and noticed some with issues but didn't see any resolutions, did I miss something?

Great work btw guys, this is a lot of fun to play with.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 
Alright guys, I'm now thinking of getting this Android on my N900 as well as I can't wait anymore :P .. Anyways, I had a couple of questions:

1) Firstly a general question: Is installing Android onto N900 at this stage (e.g. cannot make phone calls, slow OS due to software emulation for graphics, etc ..) worth it ? ... Remember, this is a general question, and I know of all the risks, etc .. so assume there are no risks :) ... Should I go for it now or is it better to wait some more ..

2) Suppose I install android now, can it be totally uninstalled easily at a later time ... ? (like remove the bootloader, and the Android partitions, etc ..)

3) Also, suppose I install Android and then there's a fix out on how to get the phone calling thing working for example .. Can I just apply the update onto my existing Android install, or do I reinstall everything from scratch with the new update .. ?

4) Which version of Android is available as of now, 2.1 or 2.2 ?

5) Would I have access to the Official Android Market and be able to install apps from there ?

6) Which of these guide to install Android is the most up-to-date ? (I can't tell :P): this, this or this .. ?

Thanks in advance :)

For me yes it is worth it you can install games and play them via nitdroid. I love spin/zen bound/angry bird but i need more then just 3 games because i get bored easily. I am currently playing "world at war" (wish they also had words with friends)

2) Suppose I install android now, can it be totally uninstalled easily at a later time ... ? (like remove the bootloader, and the Android partitions, etc ..)

I am not sure on this question but i believe you can totally just reflashed your phone and it will belike factory (remember to back up your contacts)

3) Also, suppose I install Android and then there's a fix out on how to get the phone calling thing working for example .. Can I just apply the update onto my existing Android install, or do I reinstall everything from scratch with the new update .. ?

Depends on how the 3 duo does this, I think you can do it in different ways but it is always better to install from scratch in my opinion.

4) Which version of Android is available as of now, 2.1 or 2.2 ?

Nitdroid is 2.2 i believe

5) Would I have access to the Official Android Market and be able to install apps from there ?

Yep I am able to install mutiple apps (dont recommend doing this it takes a long time vs one by one) and play games like Word at war, kindoms, etc

6) Which of these guide to install Android is the most up-to-date ? (I can't tell :P): this, this or this .. ?

I used the wiki


with the only exception is that install these files individually

apt-get install wget
apt-get install bzip2
apt-get install rootsh
apt-get install Vim (nano wasnt aviable because i didnt have extras-devel/extras-testing repo setup)

Thanks in advance :)

i am going to be honest with you and tell you i dont know if it is the official one or not since i never had an android phone before. it works as good as an iphone (original app store) where you can search, and look at top paid, top free.

so if it isnt the original wow it is a good replacment.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 
I wish i knew how to do a screen shot in Nitdroid because i dont have a camera/extra phone to take pictures with. but it work perfectly fine for me.

on side not youtube not working correctly and you have to install astro program to install flash 10.1

ahmadka 2010-07-13 20:30
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 
hmm .. thanks for your input dude .. but can someone else confirm to me if the *official Android Market* is available on this Android port ? .. Because installing NITdroid without having full support for the said thing is probably not worth it at this point ..

dubzii 2010-07-13 20:43
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 
Yes, you will get the official Android Market. I do believe, however, that not all Android apps are on the Android 2.2 Froyo Market yet, because Froyo isn't even running on official Android devices yet.

But yes, it's already very functional, and fun to play around with.

Alright, thanks for that input ! In that case, is it possible to get 2.1 Eclair instead of 2.2 Froyo .. ?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 
I asked this question in the irc help channel but I didn't get a responce.

Does the class of the microsd card have an effect on the speed of Nitdroid? Or is the functioning parts loaded to swap so that there is no real effect? I would imagine that if you can't mount the internal emmc then everything would be running off the micro card but what do I know.

I have a couple of other random thoughts/questions.

Has anyone gotten swype or shapewriter to work? I get force close errors and no keyboard loads so I switch back to android keyboard. I'm using apks from my girlfriend's nexus one. Is it a resolution issue? How can I debug?

Also a quick question about the bootmenu. Is the default always (ie keyboard closed) my "original" kernel before installing? Or does it load the one that is currently flashed? One of the kernels the TV doesn't work but the other power kernel does.

Thanks!

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 
Don't know if this is related to my post the other day about my disk filling up and N900 acting weird (fixed that per dj_steve's help...)...

But now, when I click the On/Off button quickly and get the options (turn off, etc...), the option for 'Offline Mode' (?) is gone!

Bizarre....but then I've had plenty of bizarre things happen on N900...

:rolleyes:

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 
Ok so just to make sure, which of these two guides should I follow to install NITdroid ..? this or this .. ?

Also, is it possible to get the Eclair port for now instead of the Froyo one, since the Eclair one is currently supported more by the Android Market .. ? Or is there any advantage on getting the Froyo port instead of the Eclair one .. ?

Lastly, can I use an 8GB micro SD card instead of a 2GB one (I think I read somewhere that I need a 2GB one maybe ..) .. ?

Descalzo 2010-07-14 01:58
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 
I never got Market to work with Eclair. You can use an 8GB MicroSD card. You just have to make sure the ext3 partition is under 2GB. So I'd make the fat32 partition 6gb and the ext3 just under 2GB.

As for which tutorial, I'd use the second one.

This is something I would like to know as well as looking at getting a new microsd card to try this out.

I use a Class 2 card without any problems that I can see, so any card should work.
