Ammyt!
..yerr the man..! :D

..but i'll be a party pooper and ask this anyway; I am a ***** for installing NITDroid in eMMC, so is there any way that can be incorporated into the installer if someone ALREADY has the required 'mmcblk0p5' in perfect ext3 format, label, etc. ..?

Pretty Please!!

Thank you very much Ammyt!

N14 installation went good, except the download links is wrong. I downloaded manually.

Re: The Grand NITDroid Thread - NITDroid ICS Upgrade!
 
Thanks for the work ammyt!!!

For who ever wants to try it right away: It looks like some download URLs are slightly wrong (missing 'experimental' in path) in the new installer (only affecting experimental options D and E as far as I can see).

Before starting the installer you might want to put into /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/

for installer option D:
N12_update_2.3.7.tar.bz2

for installer option E:
n14_dev_snapshot.tar.bz2

Both are available on the nitdroid website in the appropriate folders.
Good luck!

PLEASE!!

Do this if you have a memory card plugged in your N900:
Code:

root
leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11 (then press tab on xterm screen, then click enter)

Leafpad should open with your .item file. Be sure that your ITEM_DEVICE looks like this:
ITEM_DEVICE:{INT_CARD}p2
After this click on your N900's keyboard ctrl + s to save then exit.
Reboot to Nitdroid.

Re: The Grand NITDroid Thread - NITDroid ICS Upgrade!
 
YAY can not wait to try

Ok noob question, I have install the last one from the nitdroid web site just 1 week ago and now would love to try this.

Is there a easy way of removing old one and putting on new one??

if not i can reflash but can someone write a noob step by step for installing the new one or is just opening the deb will just do it??

Cheers for the help

Sourav.dubey 2012-01-12 07:24

Re: The Grand NITDroid Thread - NITDroid ICS Upgrade!
 
First reflash it

enable all repository
download filebox
open xterm
apt-get update
apt-get install nitdroid-installer
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid.deb

i renamed the deb file as nitdroid.deb

nitdroid
YES

here it goes

you can also manually download nitdroid files from downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/
and put there file in /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid using filebox

need more help

sorry if i forgot something

For N13 and N14, you must have N12_UMay in ./MyDocs/.nitdroid/ along with the other corresponding archive and the kernel.

- ..i apologize if that was off the mark. I found that my early installs of NITDroid crashed without setCPU; so recommended that post.
No worries!! ..i'm sure ammyt will come up with the right answer,

..goodluck!

Apart from the experimental url issue mentioned before, installer works fine. Also had to do the multiboot item device fix, but my phone is booting into ICS as I type this :)

I still can boot into Maemo. I said, I can't boot N14 except the first time. Then, I reinstalled N12 then upgrade it to N13. Now I'm using N13.
I just ask "How the autoinstaller works?" Cause I like to install NITDroid manually.

I have uploaded power.conf as many people have reboots problems.
Just Extract and Copy it to nitdroid installer location (/and)
" /system/etc "
using filebox or midnight commander or xterm or whatever you want.

You can edit the voltage in this file with notepad as you wish. With this you don't need setCpu so much:D

Note: I enable concervative to prevent overheat appears with on-demand

hadjistyllis 2012-01-12 17:24

Re: The Grand NITDroid Thread - NITDroid ICS Upgrade!
 
To ammyt.
In the future your Installer Will be possible to give as the option to install nitdroid on SD Card? (Format, Partitioning sd card .....)
Thanks for your great work.

No need for that, the newest installer now selects the best most-stable profile on your device.

ammyt 2012-01-12 19:25

Re: The Grand NITDroid Thread - NITDroid ICS Upgrade!
 
To all people, for n13 and 14, you should have both the N12_UMay.tar.bz2 (base rootFS) archive in /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/ and the other corresponding archive (update rootFS) + the RC7 kernel.

This is impossible. This is totally irrational and impossible, I just removed and installed N14 and N13 using the beta3.
In ./.nitdroid, there should be:
*RC7 kernel
*N12_UMay.tar.bz2
*n12_update_2.3.7.tar.bz2/n14_dev_snapshot.tar.bz2 (Not sure of the name)... but you get it.

sorry i only part posted so didn't really make sense. had previously downloaded files and created the .nitdroid folder with filebox but installer kept failing, i deleted the folder and content's ran the installer again but it failed on n12 download copied file back from memory card and ran again then it ran through and now works cheers for the hard work

Hello, i have problem when i installed and restarted the phone into Nitdroid the screen is blank and black, i waited 10 minutes and nothing happened, whats wrong ?

end2begin 2012-01-13 09:51

Re: The Grand NITDroid Thread - NITDroid ICS Upgrade!
 
You are mostlikely using the wrong kernel. Use the nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-07_7-rc7_armel.deb.

Cause as E-yes already said: Framebuffer console is disabled now (this is required by ICS).

Nobless 2012-01-13 09:53

Re: The Grand NITDroid Thread - NITDroid ICS Upgrade!
 
I use this kernel :)

I supposed that N13 (2.3.7) is not stable yet.

Re: The Grand NITDroid Thread - NITDroid ICS Upgrade!
 
@ammyt: I just wanna inform you that the N14 heapsize configuration already placed in 'default.prop'. It shows '28m'. :D
