Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

nope, memory card is needed at the moment I'm afraid.

to remove multiboot, open xterm and type

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

I not only have this issue, but I can't seem to dualboot!
Whatever I do it starts booting android and gets stuck!
And that's it. This appears no matter how the keyboard is slid...

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

Press the "P" key (which is also zero) to boot standard Maemo.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

Ok.. So I'm almost ready to jump in to the the android boat with my N900.. one question first..

I'm Using titan's power kernel (with ideal) is that going to interfere somehow? I noticed there is a command you have to run if you're using the power kernel.. what does it do?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

yes the extra part jsut adds the power kernel into multiboot as multiboto dynamicly flashes to whatever kernel is needed (nitdroid needs a heavily custom kernel that would not boto maemo not) so power kernel must be in their to allow booting it

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

Thanks for the answer! once my n900 is charged to full I'll try and see how it goes :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

Hello. I'm trying to install NITDroid and I'm stuck..

I'm following these instructions: http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900-install and have got to:

I couldn't install the kexec tools via Xterminal so I did that via application manager.

1. Download and install Multiboot.

I get the error:

/home/user # wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/multib..._0.1_armel.deb
/bin/sh: wget: not found

How can I sort this? Sorry, Linux is new to me so I'll need it step by step please. Cheers.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

apt-get install wget should do it :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

Thanks Steve, I wasn't expecting a response so quick. Tried to do what you suggested, but the results didn't look too good:

/home/user # apt-get install wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/multib..._0.1_armel.deb

What do you think?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

@browncaravan:

Check your repositories wich ones you got enabled, i think you need devel enabled to get those tools you want to download ;)

e: ohh, you just need to type 'apt-get install wget' as root ;)
That will install wget...
Then go on with the other install (wget multiboot thing).

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

Dousan. Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, my N900 doesnt want to know. It seems I am not able to install programs via Xterminal. The reason for this is because I have edited 'obexd' and 'libopenobex1' in order to have PBAP to work with my hands free kit. I guess Maemo is upset that it doesnt match with what the standard Maemo OS.

Is there any way around this? Here is what Xterminal says:

/home/user # apt-get install wget
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mp-fremantle-205-pr: Depends: obexd (= 0.18-0maemo5+0m5) but 0.28-0maemo3 is to be installed
Depends: libopenobex1 (= 1.4-0maemo3+0m5) but 1.5-2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
/home/user #

Does this mean I need to try: 'apt-get -f install wget' to ignore the unmet dependencies?

Thanks

If you want standard Maemo to appear in multiboot

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

well I did it and installed android.. or atleast tried.. I can't get it to boot.. I can boot to maemo fine but not nitdroid

When I try to boot to droid it starts to load swhos some text in the black backroung like it's loading it but it just goes back to multiboot menu..

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

thank U bull81, and dj_steve also...i'm finaly able to install android..
btw,how do i install downloaded game(i dont have wifi)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

and now it seems I can't get past the nokia logo anymore...

was on maemo and I turned the phone off (which I already had done many times now trying to boot into droid but failing) and then tried to boot to nitdroid but the phone just turned off and now when I try to start it, it just goes to the nokia logo and can't get past that :/

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

anyone have any ideas or is this gonna take reflash?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

if you modified those files and download them they will overwrite you moded files and your handsfree kit probably wont work no more. I don't know if you can modify them after installing, if that's gonna make some other issue? To be frank i'm not sure what you should do here? Maybe hope for some linux exp. to answer your question or just try it?

Maybe you could download the .deb file from here and do it through app mngr. Just tap on the .deb file when downloaded?
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...sso3_armel.deb

Or maybe you could use the download links in the guide. Just copy and paste in a browser window on your N900 and save them to /home/user/MyDocs and then just do the guide without the wget steps?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

I reflashed and now the phone works.. weird.. I followed the directions to the letter.. don't know what went wrong.. gonna try again tomorrow :/

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

Ihave the memcard intach.. so do I only need to install multiboot 'n stuff?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

Me too but it seems you always have to repeat "step 6" http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=523

Also android will probably never boot the first time, try 2-3 times before using the above.

Also make sure your boot file is properly edited via the console in etc/multiboot.d.

Here's mine, it's far easier to ssh-it in there ;)
Never edit it in windows

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

Thanks Dousan. That's the way I'll do it - download NITDroid and all that myself and install them via Xterminal.

The next problem:
Multiboot has been successfully installed. I tried to do the NITDroid bit but it basically says, I haven't got bzip2 installed - which is correct. I am not able to install it via Xterminal as you know, and am unable to find it in the application manager. Any ideas? Are there any other programs I will need to get this up and running?

Nearly there.. hopefully. This isn't as easy as I thought.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

I tried the installation again today and succeeded :) and I gotta say it looks good! can't wait for phone and gps to be available! now to try some app's and stuff

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

bzip2:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...sso3_armel.deb
kexec-tools:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...emo3_armel.deb

If you need something in the future, and can't find it in app mngr, you can allways turn to here to find it ;):

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

Thanks again - you are a great help. Sorry to bother you again - I think you'll be as gald as me when it is installed correctly. I think the first link you gave me is actually for wget and not bzip2. Therefore I went to the repositry bit like you suggested, found bzip2 but am unable to find out how to actually download it.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

browncaravan:

run this in ROOT xterm

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

oops... sorry about that ;)
bzip2:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...emo5_armel.deb
If you tap this link on your n900 the download app should pop up and let you choose where to save it...
No problem mate glad to help out :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately it seems I am unable to download applications via Xterminal, unless you know of a way round it, this is my problem:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=1019

I will have a go at downloading to the phone and then installing via application manager for now. Cheers

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

theirs a way to force dpkg to install but i cant remeber the syntax at min :D

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

browncaravan modified two files to make some handsfree set work. They turn out to be dependencies wich xterm wants to install to make 'apt-get install' to work ;)

So we are trying to work around that :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

dpkg can bypass that i just cant rem the syntax

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

So close....

I thought all had gone correctly, but I am stuck at the point where it goes through all the Android files and then gets stuck on a blank screen with only the white cursor at the top left of the screen. As this has come up before I followed the suggestion of going through step 6 again. It didnt work, when I try and load it now it says it cannot find line 1... I'll format the card again and have another go at it soon. I'll let you know how I get on in a while. Thank you all for your assistance.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

hey dj steve.
have you asked the android forums for some help?
im sure theyd be GLAD to.
they could even release a stable version of the nitdroid with your name on it!
