Well I got it working, thanks for the guide
Now I just have to learn this new os...
I just seem to get stuck in the opened app.
For example if I open the browser from the appmenu.
How do i close the browser window and come back to the desktop?
Is there a "Home" command?
Maybe a litte Nitdroid get around guide could be something for noobs like me.

A bit over my head all this but im curious aswell
Thanks all you guys included in this project

Did you hold down U then press the Power button?

When i start it up i press U and press blue arrow 3 to enter the suggested option in the guide. Thats option 4, right?

I can see all the stuff but i cant go back from the appwindow.
Probably same basic stuff i should do but this is all new to me.
I´ll poke around and see if i get the hang of it

Firstly, this as awesome, I first attempted to install thing last night and within minutes I had android booting with (almost) no issues.

The guys involved in this are heros!

However...

I'm suffering a tiny problem thats causing a huge issue.

I, like a few others , cannot access the home key.

left and right arrows adjust the volume...check
down key to access the menu...check
up key to access home....nope!

I have scowered the topics and seen some other people with this issue but no replies to them. I imagine people simply think they havn't read the instruction. but I am definatly pressing the "up arrow" and not getting "home"

I've tried every key on the pad, including the vol+/- and camera button. I've also tried all keys shifted and fn'ed.

I checked out the keymap file (omap_twl4030keypad.kl) but wouldn't know if it was right or wrong..

any Ideas kind people?

Hi

First off! Great work all the Dev's!

I am trying to install this now for the first time, and I will admit I ain't a PRO on Linux but it did not seem to impossible so I started the new guide posted last night and I think I made it so far as to this line, where I get stuck

*EDIT*

I did the partition thing first, since the guide stated I should.

======

Nokia-N900-02-8:/# mount -o noatime,rw /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk1p2 on /and failed: Invalid argument

======

I guess I messed up somewhere is the partioning? any tips on some commands or something that could help me check I have done everything right?

is it safe to reboot the phone after I did the install dualboot menu? Even tho I don't have the SD card setup and working?

It's an 8 GB card btw.

Thanks in Advance!

Happened to me too. From what I can tell it happens because sfdisk can't re-read partition table and ugly things happen (as this was the only difference between mine working, and not working). Reboot the phone and start over.

So it's safe to reboot even tho I installed the dualboot menu? it will still find the Maemo and boot that I hope

I did this part

cd /home/user/MyDocs/
wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/...t-0.1.1.tar.gz
cd /
tar xzvf /home/user/MyDocs/multiboot-0.1.1.tar.gz

Alot of files gut unpacked and I guess that also installed it?


But still Safe to reboot?
