Can i do it with filebox after mounting /and in X-term?
Beacuse it seems only an addition, not a replacement for the entire /and/system folder

put it in /home/user/MyDocs

assuming u installed it in /home

root

mount /home /and

bzip2 -d /home/user/MyDocs/gingerbread_update1.tar.bz2

cd /and

tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/gingerbread_update1.tar

You havent if you want, but if you keep the nitdroid 0.0.9 partition, probably the installation of gingerbread will be more easy and of course you will keep all of your things.

Re: [RELEASE] Android Gingerbread 2.3.1 (Experimental)
 
It's mistake. Installing Gingerbread over 0.0.9 is really silly way to produce nearly-unrepeatable glitches and problems.

At least without wiping /data directory (that makes such an installation meaningless).

so e-yes , its best to wipe 0.9 before doing a clean install of gingerbread ?or ok to overwrite 0.9 ?

edit... i see the nitdroid wiki recommends clean install...

peacekeper 2011-01-02 22:32

Re: [RELEASE] Android Gingerbread 2.3.1 (Experimental)
 
as i understand and according with what others guys have said is better installing gingerbread over 0.0.9 vers. but now i am little bit confused beacuase e-eyes wich is the master in this topic he says that NO. so my question here, is it? or it is not better to install over 0.0.9? just to be clear at all.
and thks a lot for the effort u are doing guys. really appreciated

e-yes 2011-01-02 22:47

Re: [RELEASE] Android Gingerbread 2.3.1 (Experimental)
 
Clean install (install to empty partition) is HIGHLY recommended.

mido.fayad 2011-01-02 22:48

Re: [RELEASE] Android Gingerbread 2.3.1 (Experimental)
 
it's better to install it only not over 0.0.9

but u missed something ,

we said to install gingerbread on fresh 0.0.9

i.e u won't have data files because u didn't open 0.0.9 which is the problem in installing gingerbread over 0.0.9

e-yes 2011-01-02 23:19

Re: [RELEASE] Android Gingerbread 2.3.1 (Experimental)
 
It's meaningless. Gingerbread + gingerbread_update1 include all files that is really needed.

libbridge.so exists in 0.0.9, but removed from Gingerbread update intentionally, because DSP is not working yet. What happens when you install Gingerbread on fresh 0.0.9? Codecs will attempt to use DspBridge and fail after few retries (check logcat).

FakeGPS - i don't know why do you think it's working... try to locate yourself in GMaps... if you find yourself somewhere... in Russia... then it's really working:)

Mine works fine..
I'll make it nice and easy!

Code:

root
cd /home/user/MyDocs

bzip2 -d gingerbread.tar.bz2
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
cd /and
rm -rf * (this removes all the files from the old installation)
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/gingerbread.tar

cd /home/user/MyDocs

dpkg -i nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb

This works. I have done this under 1 hour ago.
All works. Apply the patches using the same method as installing gingerbread (.tar blah blah).

I have no issues.

flashplayer not working on Android Gingerbread 2.3.1 :(

kingoddball 2011-01-03 10:42

Re: [RELEASE] Android Gingerbread 2.3.1 (Experimental)
 
I think this build (2.3.1) is better.
It's faster (all hardware is the same for me [sd card]).
Albeit I never used flash. But the system responds better, snappier, faster, looks cooler (minus the launcher).

I just install PandaHome and good theme :)

Also.. Does anyone know why this build has not been rooted? I can't OC without it :(

WIFI works, Music works. I installed over 0.0.9. Didn't delete them and applied both the fixes/updated provided by E-yes. But apn not connecting. Bit slow for me as I am running from mmc. Trying to partition my mydocs so that i can run 0.0.9 and gingerbread. But bit afraid as there is no good tutorial using gparted.

I had the exact thing happen to me today!

You have removed the /home/opt directory. Thankfully you can just flash the ROOTFS and it will be back.

Do a backup first. Apps still work, you just have to guesstimate where the right buttons are :-)

Flash and you will back to normal. Having said that you will need to reinstall Nitdroid - multiboot and kernel again.

Good luck!
