@Josh
When you boot with the keyboard exposed,did you get option to boot maemo with kernel power v46?

Will try this and update u guys.

Will try this and update u guys.

No. only two options

1)Omap 2.6.28
2)Nitdroid

Execute the following in terminal:



Reboot with your keyboard open & now you should have maemo with kernel power v46 as your 2nd booting option.

If you read the FP about NITDroid installation,I've included this.

Thanks tried the above method .. it said both kernel power flasher and the kernel power module is the latest ....

Rebooted with keyboard open ... sadly still 2 option oni.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guys i also tried the earlier method

go to xterm
apt-get install --reinstall -y kernel-power kernel-power-flasher


it said couldn't find package..

I don't see any reason to use converter if you use N900.
So far I can play almost all video format I wanted to play without converting then.That including some funny audio format.
Install MPlayer + SiB you should be able to play majority of the videos assuming the resolution is supported by N900.

thats definitely true as i was converting the bootscreen video for my n900.
i downloaded in flv and changed to avi
resolution would go higher or lower dpending on the format
i am still surprised how the resolution could go higher. lol



sifu...
i installed sib n mplayer...
rename .flv file to .avi..
but can't play that video...

Why did you rename the file. Some .flv has different container or something like this. Use a video converter and reconvert it into .flv format and transfer into your N900 and it will work

im frustarated guys... i even manually removed and reeinstalled the whole crap..KPV46.

still no changes... tried sifu SEA method and also other methods.. no positive result wei..

can i manually flash KP crap...

i wan to make usb hostmode to work... got d cable but now KP crap issues..


BTW i thougt oni nokia abondand N900 seems like our fellow forumers also have abondan ship edi..

You can change the resolution and bitrate higher but I don't think it will increase the original video quality.

No need to rename also can play, even you rename as some unknown extension also can play.

When use KMPlayer, you need to change the "player" to mplayer, default if I'm not wrong, it's using maemo5 default media player.

720p flv/mp4 cant play properly.... anyone any idea??

no laaaaaaaaaa............

Still around liao...................was a wee bit busy only...and still supporting N900 strongly...

As for the Dualbooting...

after reading a few post back...your Bootmenu .item file is correct ka???

Seems like u have .item for Nitdroid and .item for omap1 only...

Thats why u see only those 2...

or u checked this already?

Did you install NITDroid in eMMC or microSD?
You may have to create the .item file manually.I'm quite sure your kernel power has been installed successfully.It's just you missing the multiboot file.

As I said previously,as long as the source video resolution is under 800 x 480 N900 should be able to play it without any conversion.Assuming you have SiB + MPlayer of course.

Not many abandon ship.Just busy.

720p might have video/audio synch problem due to resolution problem.
I've no idea how to fix this.This probably could be hardware limitation.

Josh....remove the:

Bootmenu
Kernel
kernel setting

and follow this...This method u tak payah pening kepala to copy paste or creating boot .item manually...It auto make for u...

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=911733&postcount=12

Did you try this method???

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Tak perasan u have Nitdroid installed...unless u wanna reinstall your nitdroid...

Ive installed and reinstalled nitdroid like almost 10 times already...kekekeke....

After 120 days of waiting, I finally got the phone

Now charging it up, but seems the charger got problem not charging will try use other socket and see if charger problem or socket problem, now using PC USB port to charge it

and it is getting late, will try to play with it tomorrow

It can't even play 480p properly...

Can't do anything, hardware limitation...

It's still IRREPLACEABLE to date.

I can play SOME 480p videos properly.

This is my guess:
N9 or whatever MeeGo phones Nokia planned is hardware wise ready.It's just the OS isn't quite as ready as Nokia & Intel expected.Frankly speaking even I expected a much more developed OS that current 1.1.80 MeeGo built.
Ah well...The OS I'm trying now is pure vanilla OS.For sure Nokia will include their own UI + some proprietary stuff to make it more interesting.

The picture will be clearer in MWC 2011.

And yes,I did said MeeGo phones because from the current MeeGo code there are clearly at least 2 phones in making.Too bad both contain code RM-XXX which means this is not a internet tablet successor.

Erm, Firmware is updated. Can someone can teach me the steps just for flash eMMC?

What's the bitrate of the video? Lowering the bitrate would help but it will affect the quality. You're using mplayer which utilizes the cpu right? I oc-ed to 900mhz, still very bad...

As for MeeGo, the OS can still be improved even after it's released, just as long as they don't abandon it like Maemo...
My main concern here is.... what will be the specs of the device be when it launch? Since they have delayed, will they update the specs according to the latest specs? Coming soon, there will be dual core, powerful dedicated graphics, etc devices in the market. If Nokia falls behind on hardware (like N900, N8, C7 etc), it will not be looking good... Plus, other device might probably be able to run MeeGo... by then... why people want to choose Nokia phone if Nokia hardware is way behind of others...
The Korean and HTC phones are always up-to-date in the latest hardware specs... IF MeeGo is available for those devices.... Nokia phones will have tougher competition.

Nope,you cannot just flash eMMC.
eMMC aka the 32GB internal memory contains the /home/ partition which contain applications file.As such you cannot flash the eMMC alone.You can manipulate the size of the partitions without losing data if thats what you want to do.

If you want a stock setting phone I suggest you to use FP Flashing Method B.It'll flash both rootfs & eMMC.

Don't remember...I'll test it again.
I think I played with both MPlayer & VLC.

About MeeGo device,I'll take a properly implemented OS over a hard end hardware any day.
Even for desktop PC the devs still yet to take full advantage of multiple CPU core.Not much games utilize the multiple CPU Cores.
N8 is good example of decent OS implementation.The CPU isn't all that powerful but the overall OS functions is quiet fluid.

I don't think hardware spec will be any problem.Most probably it'll have a dual core ARM processor at launching time & eventually Nokia will start using Atom SOC.
I'm still waiting whether Intel can deliver the promised 7 days standby time with moorestown based SOC.If they can deliver it I'll get a Intel CPU based MeeGo phone for sure even if the OS bit "patchy"

5/6 of my friend didn't know that this phone exist
