Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

My friend last night was telling me an update was released for froyo on his phone. The update overclocked his cpu by 200 mhz and froyo runs slower on his win mobile phone I lol'd, but he has phone and everything else working, You getting us there DJ Steve!

When you release the new update how do we existing users upgrade to the new build?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

update will need a wipe as their will be a fair few system changes

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

On the microsd?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Thanks for pointing that out :P .. Anyways, the boot menu worked and everything, however when I press 4 (R), I see the text and, the a few seconds later the NITDroid video starts looping .. But it stays in this loop forever .. I've left it for as much as 15-20 minutes, and the NITDroid Matrix video keeps playing repeatedly ..

I saw that in the boot menu the third option is the same as the 4th one, so I tried the 3rd one, and as far as I can tell, the behavior was exactly the same ..

Here are some pictures from after I select the 4th option:

Also, when I boot into Maemo and connect the N900 to my PC in Mass Storage mode, I see the 1MB partition now .. How can I change this so that I see the internal 27GB of the N900 like before all this ?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Am getting exactly the same problem. Am going to try this possible solution.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Ok I got Nitdroid running.. To boot maemo I hit 0 and to boot Nitdroid I hit 4 and everything works. Can someone inform on how to correctly overclock maemo now??? Ive overclocked once using maemo flasher on windows before Nitdroid. and now I want it while still having Nitdroid. Can I get step by step instructions on what I should do please?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Any clue regarding my query from 3 posts up (link) ?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

I just disconnected and reconnected multiple times and it started pickin both n900 and mem card up on Win 7

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

any idea why some apps don't show up in Market on NITDroid. Ones that show up on my android phone?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Choose option 1 or 2 in multiboot, then you should be able to OC in maemo, works for me ;)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

I've entred Nitdroid, but touchscreen doesn't fuction at all...

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

-edit-

One last question before I start:

http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900-install
Step 3:
Do I have to enter the lines one by one?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Ok tried to unmount the mmc card but got this error

Nokia-N900-51-1:~# umount /dev/mmcblk1p1
umount: cannot umount /dev/mmcblk1p1: No such file or directory


I got these when I list in /dev/

mmcblk0
mmcblk0p1
mmcblk0p2
mmcblk0p3
mmcblk1

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

probably need to reboot to show the new partition layout

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

This is in step 1.2 of the wiki just fyi :)

Gonna reboot now anyways ;p

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Did a reboot still got the same error

Nokia-N900-51-1:~# umount /dev/mmcblk1p1
umount: cannot umount /dev/mmcblk1p1: No such file or directory

-edit-

got it working somehow...

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

how exactly do i overclock on the n900? hen bootin 1 or 2

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Quoting my problem from yesterday again ...

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

i keep getting error of no space left on device,
What am I doing wrong?

Have already followed the wiki in Nitdroid for 4 times now one I got the kernel panic then nothing to be displayed error and then now twice no space.

tried again now it says text 2 screen not found

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

About the no space left, it sounds like it has mounted the rootfs on your phone. Try check the rootfs memory, if it says 0mb just do this in exterm and then try remount the mmcblk1p2 and re-extract the .tar file.
In xterm:
cd /and 'enter'
rm -rf 'enter'
(i'm not sure if you need to be root)
Hope it helps :)

e: Also try this in xterm before extracting again, just to see if you have the right partitions.
In xterm:
sfdisk -l 'enter' (-L)
(you need to be root)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Ok did all that and now reextracting it to see what it says

ohh and when i look for the second command you posted to check the partition what all should i look in there?



ok extracted again and same error no space left

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

You should look for this:

/dev/mmcblk1p1 0+ 3199 3200- 102399+ c
W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/mmcblk1p2 3200 30999 27800 889600 83
Linux
/dev/mmcblk1p3 0 - 0 0 0
Empty
/dev/mmcblk1p4 0 - 0 0 0
Empty

The size of my partitions can differ from yours, but they should be called the same, p1=fat32 and p2=linux (ext3), then the partitions are right :) Remember that the mmcblk1p2 (ext3) should be under 2gb if you want android market to work ;)

e: Bummer. How does your rootfs look now in mb's?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

dev/mmcblk1p1 0+ 67199 67200- 2150399+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/mmcblk1p2 67200 121007 53808 1721856 83 Linux
/dev/mmcblk1p3 0 - 0 0 0 Empty
/dev/mmcblk1p4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty



thats the output from that code


Just went and bought my self a new sd card trying to install in it already upto the point where I download nitdroid which it is doing right now. will see what it says this time

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

So the partitions are there...

e: ahh ok, good luck with the new sdcard ;)

Then you must be in a really different timezone than me, it's over 1 am here lol :D

E: be sure to check rootfs memory, if it's full (0mb left) don't reboot, it will brick the phone and you will need to flash it. If full then just do the code in xterm.

cd /and 'enter'
rm -rf * 'enter'

That should clean up the wrongly extracted files :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

yeah its 620pm over her,
I heard about a beer named hatti from there.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Lol hatti, you mean Denmark? If yes havn't heard of it :confused: But then again i'm not the big beer drinker.

Hope you work it out i have to go to sleep now ;)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

yeah its a danish beer my friend was there two weeks ago for 2 days and he told me, it was the cheapest beer and he got drunk really quick and lost his money playing the games inside the stores in there.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

I reflashed my n900 with both the fiasco and emc and tried new sd card and keep getting no space left error.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

im stuck in partioning my sd card at step 1.5 of this guide http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900-install

when i put in the command

mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk1p1
mke2fs -j -m0 /dev/mmcblk1p2

it says
could not stat /dev/mmcblklp2 --- no such file directory

the device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?


am i missing some thing? glad if anybody help

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

try rebooting n900 and try again

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Asked this the other day but doesn't anyone know why some applications that are in Market on say my Backflip or other phones is not in the Market for NITDroid.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Yep, there is a fix for this. Not sure if all apps show up, but they should.

Step 1. Boot into maemo.
Step 2. Mount the android partition like you did during installation
(i guess you still had the /and dir. if you didn't, mkdir /and.
Step 3. Open up the file /and/system/build.prop in leafpad, or another text editor.
Step 4. Look for the line containing ro.build.fingerprint. Replace that line so it looks like this:
Step 5. Save the file, un-mount the /and partition to make sure the changes get written, and reboot.
If your getting an error that the disk is in use, close the terminal first, then open terminal again, then type the above command.

The app market will now think we're an official android device and give us access to all apps.

Oh, p.s. I only tested this on myself, so please report back if it works (but took it from another forum that discussed the unofficial Froyo rom for the Motorola Droid, and it worked for them too, so i guess it should work.)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

thanks 4 the efforts

it looks in these videos that Nitdroid running fast

i followed the guide but why it is running slow with me !! should i overclock my n900

or

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
