Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 
Im having a bit of a drama, everything seems to have gone great but when the multiboot menu comes up pressing 1 for droid flashes a screen with settings on then back to the boot menu straight away.
I can boot into maemo ok but have yet to get it to boot into droid. Any ideas?

No installation has all gone fine, then rebbot with keyboard open but when selecting option 1 for droid boot it flashes with multiboot settings for a split second then back to main dual boot menu.
After checking
/etc/multiboot.d/NITdroid-2.6.28.NIT.05.item
All looks correct. Any ideas?

Should the item file be created as user or root? Just thinking it may be a permission error

You just might see my N900 fly over you holiday home very soon if I can't figure this out lol :)
Very frustrated but i've jus re-read a couple of posts on here about sandisk 4gb cards which mine is. I guess thats the problem but all the install went fine and it is trying to boot.
Hope your having a good holiday steve by the way and not getting too bogged down with all thus stuff. Im going to Benidorm with the family next week and just wanted Droid to play with while sunbathing..

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 
best bet is reextract everything from scratch. start by installing 0.0.5-4 then move to 0.0.6

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 
Guys,
I wish to run both Easy Deb & NITDroid off the SD Card. I got the SD Card partioned into 3.
mmcblk1p1 approx 3.3gb NITDroid (fat32)
mmcblk1p2 approx 1.8gb NITDroid (ext3)
mmcblk1p3 approx 2.4gb Allocated for Easy Debian (ext2)

I reflashed both FIASCO & eMMC and then installed NITDroid, is installed and working perfectly on a clean slate. I am now trying to install Easy Debian and looks to all be ok except it wish to install on the mmcblk1p1 (NITDroid). I don't wish for it to be on NITDroid's allocated partition, what should I do. Do I change and make NITDroid the mmcblk1p3?
Do I make the mmcblk1p3 also fat32 and if so will it still try and load on mmcblk1p1 as it is the first partition? I understand this is more about installing Easy Deb though don't wish to destroy my NITDroid install.

Cheers mate I reinstalled tthe kernel and all sprang to life. BTW this is with a 4gb Sandisk card so it is possible on these cards.
Thanks to all involved.

it swould suggest it cannot see your sd card or there is a typo on the device name (dev/mmcblk1)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 
Igot the flying world nitdroid and last multiboot, but didn't install nitdroid kernel 2.6.28-05. the wierd part that i got only nitdroid in multiboot menu and it doesn't work(probably because of that kernel, cause it even didn't try). after some seach found about "b" key and booted to maemo, it worked but at the beggining i saw "time and location" settings and they got to default(WTF?). after that i did install of kernel and rebooted once more, now nitdroid starts to boot but fails(flashes to fast so can't read the error). and as well i can't boot to maemo, i have some errors i barely can read(too fast) about some modules and in the end i get:
E: videoep: xcb connect failed
several times and it does nothing for awhile and than i get
Starting PyMaemo optification
and it do nothing for hours =\

Hey dj_steve!
LOVE your work!
love the fact that youve enabled 3d acceleration !!
one last thing that pisses me off..is the OS usability
the framerate isnt half as good as the other phones!(ex opening menu, scrolling left and right in the menu)
are you fixing that soon?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 
I have multiboot installed and i can boot omap1, power37 and NITdroid without problems. My gratitude to the developers for that.

However i would like to auto load the module bq27x00_battery when i boot titans power37.

I think that:

Code:
echo bq27x00_battery >> /etc/modules
doesn't work with multiboot because whenever i boot power37 i have to execute:

Code:
modprobe bq27x00_battery
to get that module active.

There is a modules.boot.example file in /etc that is part of multiboot package.
I have tried to create a /etc/modules.boot file with:


Code:
#
# modules.boot
#
# List of modules the bootloader (multiboot) shall load.
#
bq27x00_battery
but then booting power37 fails.

Can anyone help with this issue?

Thanks

Any one has the same problem?

using 8GB SD card, not that 4GB they mentioned
Exactly same problem here. Just bought brand new 8gb class 6 card and installed Nitdroid for the first time following instruction @ post #1.

After selecting item @ boot menu it loads some stuff, then screen gets cleared and top left shows "_" -mark and keyboard lights stays on. Only thing that helps is to take battery out. I can boot to Maemo.

This describes mine too. I still don't know the cause. Running on 4gb class 4.

Got it working by wiping the android partition clear, extracting the files there again and then not to install the droid-kernel instead of what guide says. And also booting with kb closed right after selecting the boot option.

mornage 2010-07-31 19:13
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 
if you're getting the text to screen error, n900 is not seeing the android files. Make sure you have the back cover closed as sd card wont mount without it. If it is then chances are the files are not on the sd card (or correct partition. Remount mmcblk1p2 in maemo to /and and check the files are there.

CepiPerez 2010-07-31 23:26
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 
checked a lot of times. the file isn't there.
no errors when I decompress the file
but I can't see the file in the tar:

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 
hmmm,that all looks fine. Think it must be a bad download. try redownloading the rootfs, wipe the partition and extract again.

This happens sometimes. If the sd card is an unsupported file system, maemo will not mount it. do not worry and move onto the next step.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 
Maybe I misunderstood, but I've read that Nitdroid runs with CPU always at 100% load @ 600mhz. Seems very unhealthy, and not exactly good for battery life either.
Is it true, and if so, why isn't solving that the top priority of the developers?

It is being looked at but is not exactly a straight forward job so may take some time. There is so much other stuff that needs doing before it is a fully operational OS yet I think most people run dont this constantly for it to be a big issue.
