When I got this it was because the rootfs has not been extracted to the memory card. Boot into maemo

And make sure you have the android files there.

This is being worked on and there is no solution at the moment.

anyone.....

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

[QUOTE=zaoltryence;766360]It wont show on file manager, only the fat partition will.

Once you have formatted it as per the instruction, mount it to /and (as in my post above) then if you you will then be accessing the memory card. This is where you need to be when you untar the rootfs.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

hmm.. and how can i put apk files on the n900?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

mount the ext3 partition in maemo and copy using xterm (and if you dont know how to do that you certainly shouldn be playing with a alt os

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

for games and things which dont work when copied to system/app i found it easiest to copy them onto the emmc and use a file manager to install them.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

but how can i copy the files to the emmc?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

I have a question regarding touch support in the bootmenu, when I turn on the n900 the bootmenu shall apear, can I select to boot to android/maemo by touching on the screen or I have to open the keyboard and use the d-pad?
Thanks!

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

okay found the easiest way to copy apks without the full knowledge of xterm, i know silly but who cares. first make sure ure running open ssh , then use the mount command from the topic nitdroid modding etc. directly from the first post (its the one where ext3 and so on is mentionend).got it? k proof it by opening the filemanager of meemo, there ull see the /and folder besides your sdcard and ur mass. great now open winscp, move to your root of ur storage until u see the and folder. go in! ;) put ur apk now in there, this is basically the emmc of the android. now on ur n900 unmount the p2 with "umount /dev/mmcblk1p2" after that install ur apk in android with a filemanager (which u get free from the market.) hope that works for u, i did it that way and it worked at all perfectly great ;D

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

connect your phone to a pc in mass storage mode, drag the apk from your pc into the main folder. then using a file manager on NITDroid, select sd card (the emmc is mounted as an sd card in NITDroid) and you will see the apk to run it.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

in order for the menu of multiboot to appear you need the keyboard open. you select an option with numbers.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

Cannot get pass the touch android because keep getting foreclose errors a lot of them and brings me back to the touch android. Have cleared reformatted card multiple times but same error and it doesnot even connect to the wifi which it had done long time ago.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Thread made sticky at the request of dj_steve.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Everything was fine during installation, then I tried to boot up the new NITDroid, those command lines rolling pretty fast on the screen, then gave me a black screen with '_' on the top left, and the backlight of the keyboard didn't go off....

Any one has the same problem?

using 8GB SD card, not that 4GB they mentioned

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

I am still trying to find how to connect to my wifi which has only wep encryption, worked the first time before updating to th new one with 3dfx and I also get a lot of fore close errors



Great got it working now what I did was started from scratch again.
Followed the new 1st post of steve on his new thread and then immediately did the post 2 which included 3dgfx. everything works now and nomore forceclose errors

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

TO SOMEONE THAT HAD THE ERROR "text 2 screen..."
Close the back of the phone ;)
I had the error without closing it .. :)

Guys... i got two big problem...
First...Multiboot menu appears ALWAYS, even with the keyboard closed... e this is very boring.
I thought it was an hardware problem... but with bootmenu-n900 that i had some hours ago... no problem like this :(
How can i solve it?

The second problem, that someone in the 80th page have already had (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=795), is about a big black screen with only a " _ " in the left above corner :(

I've ene tried the advise of cricker:

So haven't installed the pagkage nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-05_final1_armel.deb ....
But not installing it ... the phone neither starts to load nitdroid...

EDIT: and watching the video of rusban down here.... i've noticed that my N900 doesn't show the small symbol under the Nokia logo... that sort of envelop... :/

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

hey guys. is there a way we can transfer file from pc to NITdroid without booting back to Maemo. just plug in usb, i can manage to do adb shell through xp but couldnt find away to do file tranfer

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

adb push but only works easily for single files

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

I use Dropbox to transfer apk's from my computer to NITdroid. Far easier than booting back into Maemo.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

i really hate prooving you wrong but there is a ssh client in market and it works

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

With 0.0.6 out, and 0.0.5 installed, does that mean all you have to do is run the command given " cd /home/user/MyDocs
wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/NITDro...ing-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 "?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Yes

I have done it earlier this evening and all is fine using the instructions above

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Hey I foolishly deleted all the items in my /etc/bootmenu.d/ folder, including the examples. Yes. I do have one entry, for NITDroid, which means it boots to NITDroid by default. I can still get to Maemo by pressing 0 at the menu, but I need some help getting things back to the way they should be.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

What entries do you want to see there? Just normal maemo or power kernel too?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

You need to create these files:

Standard Maemo
Power Kernel

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

i got errors while unpacking ..
Can me some say where the problem is??

Thx. ..

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Right, not sure if you used multiboot previously, if so, you are going the wrong way to remove it.

then as root
if you dont use titans power kernel, also do this

Once you have varified it is removed, you need to make sure you have kexec-tools

That should be the prerequisites for multiboot so you can proceed with

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Hello,

i get the same errors.
no titan kernel was installed,
no bootmenu or multiboot was installed before ...

i have reflashed my n900 today ... so its on PR1.2 default setting without OC or other tweaks ...

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

ok, just to confirm you have kexec-tools now and are root?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

i think so

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

ok, could be a corrupt download. try redownloading:

Then wget again

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

i used the mirror server because the main server is so slow :/

i will try

edit:
download hangs on main server

maybe server problems?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

I dont have any problems with main server so maybe your connection. Are you using 3G? if you give me your email address I can email you the file and we can see if that will download?

Gotta go back home now where I have no net connection so may not be able to help much more until tomorrow. Used all my FUP a few weeks ago so get a horrible connection between 4pm and midnight so cant even use the phone :(

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

That worked great. But warning to anyone who wants to use this for themselves, you need to remove the spaces from the filename in the 'cat >' lines.

Also, it doesn't work properly unless I'm unplugged. If I'm plugged in, it takes me several tries to reboot to Maemo. Unplugged it works the first time, every time.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

hmmm, was sure those spaces were needed (see 1st page of anounce thread for dj's instructions on creating nitdroid item) ah well, will make a mental noe of that for future.

Yeah, thats an issue with multiboot, it refuses to boot maemo if you have the charger plugged in.
