Thanx man!..i tried that too.. it is JUST not possible to get this system going with backupmenu installed as well. Plus, i always lose out power-kernel_49 when i install NITDroid.


Naah! I am working with a 2.5GB mmcblk0p5..

p.s. What kernel do YOU use with UMay..?? I am inclined to go for "_07-rc3", what d'ya say..!?

run it, then after first step tab new in xterm, close ito to the new one do this
root
cd /home/user/MyDocs
bzip2 -d N12_Umay.tar.bz2
cd /home
mkdir /and
cd /
mount /home /and
cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/N12_Umay.tar

dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/ur nitdroid kernel
leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11*
change ur device item to mmcblk1p2

i never failed with this method, and i still used nitdroid kernel final1 06, its better(for me)

hi people, i have been using nitdroid for a while and when i reflashed last week to have an 8gb partion for optfs i could not install chainfire3d, i actually purchased it beforehand and had working. have tried over 5 reflashes and reinstalls but can never get it to install the driver. reflashing now to 5gb version which i never got this error with, may help other people with problems if they have 8gb partition i would reflash to 5 myself, ill let you all know how it goes.
oh and happy new year, i cant remember if i did an introduction thread but hello again if i did.

can confirm for me the 5gig emmc works fine but not the 8 gig emmc.
worked first time for me anyway, i also didnt do the google backup device option when you first setup google account dont know if it
helped

- It is a 5GB partition with 3.8GB left in rootfs.


- Let me try with the 5GB, please!!

- On it..!

Will report in a bit.

What you should do is as follows:
1. Flash 8GB eMMC and Fiasco
2. Create the new mmcblk0p5 partition >=2GB
3. mkdir /and then mount it on mmcblk0p5
4. Extract N12 Umay to /and
5. apt-get kernel-power-flasher kernel-power-settings multiboot kernel-power-bootimg backupmenu
6. dpkg the nitdroid kernel
7. Install the backupmenu patch by mido.fayad
8. Reboot

Hey ammyt, a few questions;

a) Why can't i work with 5GB root..?
b) After step 2 and before step 3, i'd like to restore my rootfs & optfs using backupmenu - to be able to get all my settings, apps, etc. That's what i've done everytime after the 5GB flashing routine.
c) You say "Install the backupmenu patch by mido.fayad" - but everytime it ends up breaking the power-kernel AND the nitdroid-kernel. :[


..have you tried this..??

Guys I have a problem that I have been trying to solve for several days.

It is about the NITdroid, there go what happens:

1- I did a complete FIASCO and Vanilla reflash for my phone.

2- Then, I installed nitdroid "AUTOINSTALLER"

3- I downloaded nitdroid using the AUTOINSTALLER"

4- Whenever I try to install it the following messages are appearing in the x-terminal : "mmc 1 not found moving to method 2" , echo :not found , sleep 1 : "not found". These, appear after the installation is complete.

5- When I try to boot nitdroid the opperation will stop at a message that says : kernel panic.

6- Then my phone will turn off and won't be able to turn on again unless I do a reflash to my phone.

I have reflashed my phone for more that 7 times and still the same errors occur.

Need help Pals!

Well here lies my weakness point. I never used backupmenu before literally never, so I don't know how things work with it. But installing is very logical, 5GB eMMC is okay.
Well, first repartition, then restore, then extract NITDroid, then get KP with multiboot and KP bootimg, then fayad's backupmeu patch.

If that did not work, try to first repartition, then install KP and multiboot with KP bootimg, then backupmenu patch, and then proceed with extracting NITDroid and installing its kernel.

w00t! Your errorr indicates that either your busybox package is blown or that you discovered an unprecedented bug in the installer, let me check.

You might have seen the GUI installer here:

After a little thinking, I deduced that staying on the old school command-driven installer would be better. Not because it is difficult or anything, but users shall understand that this is an under-development project.
