Mods:

Can this thread be sticky so that the other thread can be kept clean of actual announcements and notices??

I like to keep up to date with the news on the development rather than looking at 15 pages of pleas for help.. Thanks!

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

note to all if your in android while the N900 is plugged in via wall charger the device will go into an infinite loop if you restart it or turn it off you must unplug it in order for it to boot happended to me...

Remove the SD card?

If your talking about Multiboot, however, that's a whole other matter.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

oh damn :mad::(

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# mount -t ext3 -o noatime,rw /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and

Nokia-N900:~# cd /home/user/MyDocs

Nokia-N900:/home/user/MyDocs# bzip2 -d NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-4-Final.tbz2



bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;

        perhaps it is corrupted?  *Possible* reason follows.

bzip2: No such file or directory

        Input file = NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-4-Final.tbz2, output file = NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-4-Final.tar



It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.

You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.



You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover

data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.



bzip2: Deleting output file NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-4-Final.tar, if it exists.

Nokia-N900:/home/user/MyDocs# tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-4-Final.tar

_____

1. Will the garranty lost if i install NITDroid?

2. Is the battery going empty fast?

3. Is it possible to install all Android apps?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

hmm i used the tutorial (the new one), everything worked fine except Multiboot. After choosing Nitdroid it loads the blackscreen with commands for a second, then it shows me the white nokia screen, it gets a sort of reboot, goes then back to the commandscreen ( yeah the black one) and then it shows me Nokia (white Restarting Background) again, until i get back to the Multiboot -Chooser. Umm anyone knows whats up here? I havent got any error code, not even at the installation at all. thx in advance

AYY SOLVED!!! oki it worked it depended on the multiboot config. i copied the text to an .txt and send it via bT to my n900 after that i copied it to XT et voila, it rockZ! THX DJ!!!! :D

ahh but how do i enable flash?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

djsteve, how do I edit the lcd file to set it to 200 in Android? I can't find your original post but I remember you saying it would help with screen alignment. The games I play such as skyforce show up in a small box. I remember it is under /system and the a file that ends in something like .png. How do I edit it and save it?

Thank you.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

I followed the instructions from here and its working almost perfectly.

I have one tiny issue at the moment.
I want to configure a static IP for my wifi-connection, but I can't access the advanced wifi-settings.
I've read that i need to press the menu button to access these advanced settings and that the CTRL/SYM button on my keyboard should be mapped to this android menu button, but that doesn't do anything.

So how do i configure a static IP for my wifi-connection?

Did you reboot into android or Maemo, I was trying to get out of Android and go back into Maemo while wall charger was plugged in.

We sort of have sending/recieving txt support in Android via Google voice, it's not via cell data but still it works!

Thanks for then new build DJ_steve
Question about upgrading to the 3-D graphics version:

What command or step in the original instructions should I use in the future to just upgrade to future builds?

I'm coming from following these instructions: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=58890

You mention on the 2nd post for 0.0.6 to "wipe ext3 partition"

So should I follow Step 5 from the first post:

5. Once your n900 is back up lets continue:
Old NITDroid users THIS IS REQUIRED for you aswell (well formating ext3 is not the vfat one)

Code:

umount /dev/mmcblk1p1

mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1 -n sdcard

mke2fs -j -m0 -L NITDroid /dev/mmcblk1p2

and then proceed to the quick how-to instructions on your second post here:

quick howto:

Code:

cd /home/user/MyDocs

wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/NITDroid-N900-the-flying-world.tbz2

bzip2 -d NITDroid-N900-the-flying-world.tbz2

mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and

cd /and

rm -rf *

tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-N900-the-flying-world.tar
