Steve, how do we overclock the phone while in android

Nipperoid | # 2174 | 2010-07-06, 23:49 | Report

The reason i ask if this build has so many fixes, but is like 50% slower than the previous build.

New RootFS: http://downloads.nitdroid.com/NITDro...oYo-GAPPs.tbz2 | http://files2.nitdroid.com/NITDroid-...oYo-GAPPs.tbz2
Kernel Required: 2.6.28.NIT.02(http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/....NIT.02.tar.gz | http://files2.nitdroid.com/zImage-2.6.28.NIT.02.tar.gz)
Kernel Modules Required For Maemo: 2.6.28.NIT.02(http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/....NIT.02.tar.gz | http://files2.nitdroid.com/modules-2.6.28.NIT.02.tar.gz)
Recommended Additional Items: Beta2 Bootmenu but Jay-C: http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/...2.beta2.tar.gz | http://files2.nitdroid.com/bootmenu2.beta2.tar.gz

Their is a small howto below for getting this running as it is not as simple as previous roots due to Google APPs

--CHANGELOG--
Froyo(2.2) Based
Battery Reporting Broken Currently
Lights and Accell Library(Alpha Ver) From e-yes intergrated
FULL GOOGLE APPS INCLUDING MARKET THAT CAN DOWNLOAD/INSTALL THINGS
Calibrated Touchscreen driver (Thanks again Jay-C)
Updated inits in prep for further gsm/3g dev (not active or useful as yet)
Flash Player IS NOT included by default but should be downloadable from http://www.adobe.com/go/getfp10android after activating device with google accoutn (to enable market access)

All in all this is VERY stable, google apps give no reduction in speed nor do they crash (except once at first boot- see below)

ok now for the howto:

All these steps should be performed on N900
Start off with a open xterm window at root shell or an open ssh connection(ssh is easier to typ in)

1. Install new bootmenu if you chose to use it (highly recommended)

Code:

cd /
wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/bootmenu2.beta2.tar.gz
tar xzvf bootmenu2.beta2.tar.gz
rm bootmenu2.beta2.tar.gz

2. Download And Install new Kernel Modules

Code:

cd /lib/modules
wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/modules-2.6.28.NIT.02.tar.gz
tar xzvf modules-2.6.28.NIT.02.tar.gz
rm modules-2.6.28.NIT.02.tar.gz 
rm current
ln -fs 2.6.28.NIT.02 current
depmod -a 2.6.28.NIT.02

3. Mount your android partition and install rootfs (this will wipe out previous data so backup anything you want)

Code:

cd /
mkdir and
mount -o noatime,rw /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
cd /home/user/MyDocs
wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-1-FroYo-GAPPs.tbz2
bzip2 -d NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-1-FroYo-GAPPs.tbz2
cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-1-FroYo-GAPPs.tar
cd ..
umount /and
rmdir /and

4. flash new kernel:

Code:

cd /home/user/MyDocs
wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/zImage-2.6.28.NIT.02.tar.gz
tar xzvf zImage-2.6.28.NIT.02.tar.gz
rm System.map-2.6.28.NIT.02

** open up a second xterm window as root and run this **

Code:

softupd -vv -s --local

** switch back to other xterm and continue **

Code:

flasher --local -f -k /home/user/MyDocs/zImage-2.6.28.NIT.02

close both xterm windows once flash completes.

thats the install done. now reboot into your new os

few things to mention about this build:

1. On first boot you will get a prompt of what to use to do something, pick setupwizard
2. it will take a short while for device to load far enough to select the item above so be patient
3. once into setup wizard click skip > skip and next all the way. then when it loads up the add account wizard skip that also.
4. SetupWizard will now crash, click close and the android desktop will return.
5. Go setup your wifi (will very likely require a reboot to work)
6. once wifi is up go into market app and wait, the add accoutn wizard will appear and you can now continue through and setup your google account. once it is setup wait and the market will load after a short time

hopefully this is nice and clear and simple

sorry for mega post again

I've a problem at point 3

Nokia-N900:/home/user/MyDocs# bzip2 -d NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-1-FroYo-GAPPs.tbz2
-sh: bzip2: not found

and...

Nokia-N900:/and# tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-1-FroYo-GAPPs.tar
tar: can't open '/home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-1-FroYo-GAPPs.tar': No such file or directory

______

I can't do last two passage
