Ditto. I haven't been prompted for a nitdroid update in months, yet the changlelog on your wiki suggests that I have missed two.

I remember when it was first installed, it downloaded the 'the_flying_world' which I think is v0.0.6, but I'm just guessing.

My extras-devel repo is working fine, and the command 'nitdroid-installer --version' yeilds nothing.

When I try 'apt-get install nitdroid-installer' (after updating) I just get "nitdroid-installer is already the newest version".
Which is of course, very helpful :)

Suggestions? (or am I in the wrong thread for reporting this?:o)

Thats because the auto installer is a clever piece of coding. You dont need to redownload the installer everytime, as before it downloads any NITDroid files, it downloads a manifest that tells it exactly what it needs to download and riun. The manifest file gets changed when an update comes out so really the only way to know of an update is when it's mentioned on a forum. You then just run the installer and you get a nice new version of NITDroid.

The best way to know of updates is on the NITDroid forum as little updates tend to get burried in long threads here.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 N900 Help Thread.

I see... (I think)
So it updates all the missing/changed files automatically (and without my permission? I've never been prompted...)
Suddenly I feel very guilty about uninstalling nitdroid...

I take it that 'apt-get install nitdroid-installer' is the way to go?

Running the installer will always grab the most recent files and re-install NITDroid. It wont update nitdroid but re-installs with the latest version.

Honestly, keep an eye on the NITDroid forum and you will always know of the latest updates/features.

If you wanna re-install, yes.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 N900 Help Thread.

Pleased to report successful installation of v0.0.8.

There was a small problem where it hang at the beginning (couldn't format an ext3 partition on the sd card), but after manually partitioning and then restarting the installer - everything went fine.

:D

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 N900 Help Thread.

Ive seen a few reports of nitdroid v 0.0.9 coming out.

Thanks for doing this and awesome job=D

oh and if I install the current version of nitdroid 0.0.8 will the now updated features work like the microphone and vibration or will they be present in the next version the 0.0.9.

You can type numbers only with HW keyboard, the VK not working for numbers.

yes, it is a bug that has been files and under investigation. you can change the onscreen keyboard, there is something on the nitdroid forum about one that apparently works very well.
