for those that have f*cked up text in their maemo UI you need to put the file from this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=79252 in the correct location... that is all to it and the only solution except reflashing

The "file" isn't there anymore.

i.e. my N12_UMay.tar.bz2 file is not recognized by the installer...(latest installer)

I tried putting the file in both MyDocs and MyDocs/.nitdroid..

any solution would be great...

p.s. I'm on 3g and I dont like it download 62 mb for that..

This is because you should put the archive in the new directory which is:

Code:

/home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid

Put the N12_UMay.tar.bz2 inside that folder along with the RC7 kernel.

        perhaps it is corrupted?  *Possible* reason follows.
bzip2: No such file or directory
        Input file = N12_UMay.tar.bz2, output file = N12_UMay.tar

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such fiDone! Now getting kernel...

it looks like something is wrong there with the installer file as ammyt has compressed it . You simply need to have a good e-connection ,run the autoinstaller and thats it ..dont forget to enable all repos

and if you want to do it manually ,then place the kernel and archieve in ( nitdroid /MyDocs ) in root folder ..
look at the video at first page ,run the commands and follow everything in that video.
you will be having a running android .

.

But the updated installer now uses the old directory that dj_steve set:
/home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid
