hi guys, i'm finally back inmalaysia! quick update on latest version of nitroid. 3d effects are working so its super smooth and transitions all work. better key mapping, and auto rotation now enabled. the only thing left to do is for the phone/gps/3g module (the three things are connected ) to be unlocked, then no need to buy a new android phone oredi, yahoo!. asphalt hd rox my socks! hope its soon so i can leave my phone in android mode. leceh sometimes swithcing between both, hehe

any meet-up scheduled guys? would be very beneficial to many of us, plus a good oppurtunity for prospective buyers to see what a non-standard n900 can do.

froyo 2.2



affirmative, 3d accel is working ( live wallpapers look damn cun, lol )

quite a big improvemnt on batt life bro. you should def give the latest nitroid a try (ver 0.0.6 i think )

the new installation method also is quite straight forward ( much easier than the earlier froyo and eclair build ). if you get stuck just lemme know, i should be on the site more often now.

if i'm not mistaken, if you edit many of the values in the transition.ini file manually and all at once, you can end up with this problem. I also had the same issue, luckily backed up my original file and reused that. Its a bit leceh, but its better to change the values one by one, and see the effect it produces.

Hildon is damn cranky sometimes. I myself am having an issue when i changed my clock/alarm icons. The pngs not showing even tho they are in the correct size, etc.

@Eiraku, sorry to hear about your phone bro. I myself am considering the droid 2 as my next phone, but don't think i'm gonna sell my n900 anytime soon. it'll prolly just replace my n82 as a 2nd phone.

I suspect its because since there isn't any nokia phones using android, some code and files have to be written and replaced from scratch. the other stuff was quicker because they were using modified config files from other android devices ( milestone mostly )

no problems, its quite smooth. The latest build has graphic acceleration, and works fine running at 600mhz. if you want super smoothness at all times tho need to OC after installation, hehe,

lee0125, try OCing Nitroid flash is much faster,

@josh, its the best way buddy, i learned how to
1) run virtualxp/vbox linux on my pc
2) increased knowledge of maemo architecture
3) learned about partitioning, mounting/unmounting etc
4) become even more comfortable with xterm,

My nitroid is using max speed 1000mhz


As for the fullscreen issue do this:

A) Firstst of all, you need to be on maemo 5 and have a text editor such as leafpad (my preferred, more user friendly than vi) installed.
run a xTerm session

1] type:
sudo gainroot
mount -t ext3 -o noatime,rw /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and

2] open the file build.prop in a text editor. if you have leafpad installed type:

leafpad /and/system/build.prop

3] in the file
search for the line "f.lcd_density=160"
and replace it by "f.lcd_density=240"

4]after that save it by clicking the upper contextual menu

exit leafpad

exit xTerm

reboot your device and voilaaaa !

B)If you want to to allow nitroid to OC :

1] first download this file
http://downloads.nitdroid.com/power.conf

2] next u need to mount the nitdroid partition in maemo

3] Open Xterm

4] type:

sudo gainroot
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
cd /and/system/etc

5] transfer the power.conf file that you downloaded into this folder


6] now u need to edit /and/init.nokia.rc and remove the cpu scaling lines :
( remove the entire #power management section )

7] if your using leafpad, type :

cd /and
leafpad init.nokia.rc

8] remove the section of text below:

# Power Management
write /sys/power/sleep_while_idle 1
write /sys/power/enable_off_mode 1
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor ondemand
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq 250000
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold 86
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate 46875
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq 250000
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq 600000
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_governor ondemand

9] save the file and next time u boot nitroid it will be OC'd

Added on August 9, 2010, 4:44 pmFor those interested in dual booting nitroid, refer

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=58890

it has the most up to date installation method. however u need to check post number 2 for the latest nitroid build, 0.0.6

Added on August 9, 2010, 4:49 pmbro take a look at the link in my post above. if u get stuck drop me a line, its not as hard as it looks.


on another topic, anybody using the 'Shorctcutd' app? It allows you to set proximity sensor and camera button to for opening, phone, desktop commands, and even enable 'crtl+shift+r' for enabling autorotation,

i get what you guys are saying about shortcutd, i set the proximity sensor for loading the phone, but its twitchy.

@super_evil_alien, to limit it at 850, you have to edit the power.conf file in some text editor and change the values i think. there are also a list of freqs to use and avoid, they should be adjusted accordingly. a word of caution abt messing around with the lower limits tho, as they can cause os crashes, or so i hear.

anyone know if there is a widget/app for android that measures ur cpu speed?? ( like desktop command widget for maemo )??

any news about possible meetup? would be good to see some of the sifus phone setups.

Added on August 9, 2010, 10:20 pm@Eiraku, your phone back bro??

haha, forgot where i was for a second, lol.

haha, nice comeback aspire, lol,


@dasanyeoh, depends on what apps you're running, etc, some heat is to be expected. ( i.e. 1 hour playing asphalt, makes my baby panas, hehe )

Added on August 10, 2010, 9:36 amyalor, the droid 2 is in the back of my mind now. If it gets good reviews, i'm seriously considering it as a 2nd phone.

This post has been edited by porselinaheart: Aug 10 2010, 09:36 AM

haha of course not lar, just all busy trying out nitdoid i think, hehe ( at least in my case lar ). as for maemo, my phone does almost everything i need it for now, so its great just being able to use it stress free, hehe

haha i oso quite blur, but i know, slider is backspace to close, but for task launcher its long press of camera button if not mistaken

Added on August 10, 2010, 11:40 amhehe, have u installed anything since then?? seems the more i tweak my phone, the better it runs, but must be careful lar, dun wanna go over de limits,

This post has been edited by porselinaheart: Aug 10 2010, 11:40 AM

yeah, its not 100% usable yet as well, so for now i only use it for gaming, everything else i still prefer maemo,
