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

?

Hol's, did that yetserday,the Quick one just use it for further Releases i guess itll do ;). anyone got flash working so far?

Got som problems booting up Nitdroid - Latest version with 3D fix.
Right after battery module-loading, there is some short flicker of a line with something like "32-bit capabilities....", and then the screen goes black with a white _ in the upper left-hand corner. After that it halts/hangs/spins.
Is it a known error? I tried to look in the bugtracker, and the threads, but could not find a similar error/problem.

Edit: This is my first attempt on booting NitDroid on my N900, but I'm no Linux-novice, and I followed the HowTo pretty much to the point, without errors.

Mmmm - Full rootfs - You sure you followed the instructions correctly?
And if you did:
apt-get clean
and try to remove some apps.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 
Hmm any idea how to stretch low res apps to full screen? Example is this game (or the pre-installed snake game)

Try to reboot - I't might be some runaway process which has a open file, which have been deleted.

Sometimes the rootfs gets mounted, don't ask me why. I tried this once and ran out off space and dj_steve gave me this command:

(i think you need to be root, try without if you like, won't hurt)

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

Hope it helps ;)

Think of 'rm' command as 'remove' as in erase something...so, be careful where you are located when you use that command....

I rebooted back into Maemo from Android....

Have found since I posted that it might help to disconnect charger at first and then reconnect it when you see the maemo black screen with a few tiny white dots on it....try that and see if it works for you...

For anyone running the latest version (with 3D GFX) and have games crashing when launched, the problem is they do not install correctly when the apk file is put in to the system/app. You need to run the apk on android itself (after allowing unknown sources) this will install the game correctly.

Umm yep thx, that solved the problem installing apps so far :D great! thank you. But what about yours? does "ALL" your apps run in FS? Most of mine are 1/4 of the screen placed on middle top of the Screen (in Landscape) like the screenshot shows in this thread.

thx in advance ;)

Ali,
I had the same problem with 6.0 (big sky). Unzip the archive to /and and DONT install the kernel debian package afterwards--the kernel is included in the archive.

Guys do you know how to make the accelerometer to work in games, it's not working since the last 2 updates. accelerometer only works for the phone auto orientation but for the games that requires accelerometer it is not working eg. labyrinth, abduction etc.
