PM me after 4.30pm to remind me to post NITDroid installation guide.

At least you have secondary phone.
Me?Only N900 is my phone.Still I go all out on experiment

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=62787
Note that if you're using multiboot or other patched kernel,you may need need few extra step to make it work.

Even if you used the default headphone,the bluetooth will still be on.It happens to me too.

Yes.Just tap the update at fapman.

Unfortunately for people like me /k/ isn't a place to have fun anymore.People are keeping tab on me.

Edit the item file for multiboot to add the 4th option - Boot with OTG kernel.

Edit or add also can.
Forgot about the codes.
Maybe when I install OTG I'll find it.

It's something like his : http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=827543&postcount=179

Kindly clean up the mess called "N8 thread" 1st.

That is E7

I'll make the guide for NITDroid tonight but I need people to test whether the commands are correct.
Also for those who want Maemo + NITDroid + USB OTG might have to wait for a while because I don't have the neccesary hardware to test it.(Donation of the cable is highly welcomed)

NITDroid INSTALLER
DON"T THANK ME,THANK THE NITDROID DEVELOPERS

Download this file to MyDocs - http://downloads.nitdroid.com/nitinstaller...0.2.7_armel.deb
This will solve the ext3 formatting problem

1)Open X-Terminal
2)Type “root”
3)Type “dpkg –i nitdroid-installer_0.2.7_armel.deb”
4)After this process complete,type “apt-get install nitdroid-installer”
5)This will initiate the download procedure.The installation size is about 80MB.You can check the download speed at conky in case you think the installer stuck.
6)Once the download complete let the installer run 1st.
7)Type” nitdroid”
8)This will initiate the OS installer
9)Step after this is for those who have titans kernel v39/v40
10)One the installer complete,type “apt-get install kernel-power-bootimg”
11)Type “dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/multiboot-kernel-power_0.3_armel.deb”
12)I think that’s about it.Restart with your N900 keyboard open.You should have 3 booting option now.
i)Maemo 5 omap(default kernel)
ii)Maemo 5 linux v40(choose this if you want to run with titans kernel)
iii)Nitroid

You can change the booting sequence from item file list but I’ll keep it for another day.

Restart the phone.Cry if NITDroid didn’t load & come back & post here what’s your problem or if NITDroid do work perfectly ask you girlfriend to stay at home today as you want to play with your rebranded phone.

Overclocking in NITDroid
NITDroid v0.0.8 will automatically overlock N900 to 700MHz.
But for those who want more “kick” the following are the method to overclock the NITDroid.This is done using titans kernel & you have to boot to Maemo.

As usual start the godly X-Terminal
1)Type “sudo gainroot”
2)Type “mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 / and”
3)Type “leafpad /and/system/etc/power.conf” – This is assuming you do have leafpad installed
4)This is the tricky part

By default the max/min should be like this :

scaling_max_freq 700000
scaling_min_freq 500000
avoid_frequencies 850000 805000 700000 550000 125000

FYI - These are all the available frequencies that you can specify:
1150000 1100000 1000000 950000 900000 850000 805000 750000 700000 600000 550000 500000 250000 125000

This is my setting.You guys can learn this as example
I’m using 500-850MHz setting

scaling_max_freq 850000
scaling_min_freq 500000
avoid_frequencies 950000 900000 805000 750000 600000 500000 125000

5)Once you’re done unmount the sd card with “umount /dev/mmcblk1p2”

This is accelerometer patch.Helps you to play games like Asphalt5.

1)Type “root”
2) Type “cd MyDocs”
Type “wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/sensor...halt.tar.bz2”
Type “bzip2 -d sensors_asphalt.tar”
Type “mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and”
Type “cd /and”
Type “tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/sensors_asphalt.tar”
Type “umount /dev/mmcblk1p1”

I'll appreciate if someone do try all these & inform me if anything is wrong.I just shoot things from my memory from the time I installed v0.0.8(I prefer manual way)
To experienced NITDroid users,check whether these codes are correct.

Let's take one problem at 1 time.

1)VK
Have you installed any program since the last time you used VK?
Try re-enable the VK from settings.
Even if VK is unavailable it ok because I'm very sure you use physical qwerty.

2)If you successfully installed NITDroid,you should have 2 partition on MicroSD.1 for NITDroid & another for data.
Whether you mount the NITDroid partition or not,the data partition of the MicroSD should always show at File Manager.
If your phone don't detect the card,turn off your phone,take out the battery & the card.Wait for 5 minutes & insert it back & boot the phone.If the phone still doesn't boot then it's probably corrupted card.Proceed with install NITDroid with my method.You SD card should be formatted again.

OTG might have to wait.I'm repairing a laptop & messing around with my sisters newly bought laptop

Somebody try the asphalt path codes & inform me whether it's correct.If it's wrong pm me with the wrong line.
I'm lazy to open my phone right now...

Added on September 30, 2010, 8:44 pmCorrect.It's sort of fail safe method.

This is a true revolutionary phone that I don't mind waiting in line for 1 day to get it.
But there is a catch.Although it's dubbed as "concept phone",majority of the technology shown in the video actually exist.

Steve Jobs will shitbrix if he sees this.

Hence the "concept phone" tag

So anyone tried the NITDroid installation steps?

The screenshot seems very familiar...

It's best if you use the idle speed at 500MHz.makes your phone much more responsive after unlock.Anyway 500Mhz & 250Mhz uses about same voltage.

Back at my home.Now that I have full access to all my "tools",I can start few things that I want to do with N900.

You sure this is the working method of installing?Not working for me for some reason...

For some reason terminal refuse to detect file from the directory(even though I redirect it to correct directory)
I'll again later.

Installing Jurrasic RollerCoster now.But my installation method is different from cgenius version.

Modify slight from steps here :http://www.flyingspaghettimonster.com/showthread.php?p=3275441

Kesian...I'm not much Android lover either.

Went to about 10 shops just now to try find the female to female usb connector.Can't find it
Any kind hearted soul willing to post to me?zdentws?

Okay.If you can buy it together it's ok with me.
Anyway pm me when you'll pick up the stock of BH-505

LYN censor messed up.I'll post the steps later on.Going for movie right now.

I got everything same as Zitron set.
Main difference between my phone from the Zitron set is I only got 6 months warranty for my screen.The rest all 1 year.
If you can afford it I'll still recommend you Zitron(Ori) set.Reason?Because N900 is a highly complex device than cannot be repaired by any Tom,D*ck or Harry.You need someone pro to repair the phone if there's some major hardware issue.
