anyone having luck installing the fdisk tool on N900 ?

sfdisk interface is....

yeah... got it now...

the download must have been corrupted...

i downloaded again from computer and copied to n900 - working... stupid P1 Wimax - corrupting downloads...

but i am not setting it up like the guide...

i am setting up like this

26gb for my docs and only 1.9gb for nitdroid....

nah... fdisk i am familiar..... just sfdisk...

nitdroid in emmc not much faster than the class 10 microsd....

you guys better wait for nitdroid 0.0.9....

Added on November 26, 2010, 1:27 ami can say maybe....

NITdroid in eMMC@700Mhz = NITdroid in class 10 microSD@805Mhz++

thats about it...

haven't tried 805Mhz on NITdroid@eMMC though....

Added on November 26, 2010, 8:38 pmand my NITdroid is super smooth in eMMC now... after some tweaking and removing unneeded stuff...

running at 750Mhz

removed all the unneeded stuff, fresh boot RAM avail = 130MB

smooth browser operation + flash 10.1

1000Mhz fixed at that voltage wont let the n900 cool down...

it wont burn out immediately but surely long term thermal issues...

if its got a big heatsink and fan then even 1500Mhz is ok... but its all packed in and no ventilation...

the actual processor temp can get very very high....

the s/w that reads temp from N900 is reading battery temp, not the processor temp, dont be fooled...

still on multiboot...

you can try the 'hal-device bme' command to see actual percentage....

Added on November 27, 2010, 2:05 ammy NITdroid is blazing fast now....

in fact its getting faster than Maemo...

i hacked out all the unnecessary stuff....

since i use as tablet only....

boot time is superb as well...

Android browser is nice and all with flash 10, but it crashes so often... kinda buggy...
MicroB is still the best...

Added on November 27, 2010, 5:00 pmtons of unneeded google apps preinstalled on it...

imho, android is simpler than maemo... easier to get rid of unwanted stuff...

most of the apps stay in the system as compressed files. easier to remove..

maemo apps are installed same way as desktop linux and the files are scattered everywhere...

corrupted download or the file is not in the path...

also make sure you updated the app manager with extras devel and testing.

run apt-get update first

i downclock to 500mhz only. haha...

anyway where did you get that signature ?

after install nitdroid to emmc you didnt dpkg the nitdroid kernel again. flash again it will change to mmcblk in emmc

yea, change item in multiboot folder will work too...

change to int = mmc and p5 = partition 5

but i forgot if need change permission for that item file...

downclock = save battery.

its already usable enough @ 500Mhz....

for basic stuff only like browsing the net... not for gaming...

yes, the NITdroid battery meter....

Maemo battery meter pun sama... not accurate....

and NITdroid charging is sporadic.... it will charge when it feels like charging.... u keylock/screensaver and it wont charge....

so i switch it off and charge everytime....

sometimes charging in NITdroid wont go over 90%...

yeah... pymaemo.... i got that too... u cant boot nitdroid with charger plugged in....

charge to a certain level with phone off....

then un-plug charger and boot nitdroid

then continue charging in nitdroid....

it charges as long the screen is on. dont let the screen go off... set brightness lowest and leave screen on

you will need bzip too...

reboot twice a day = flash kernel twice

30 days x 2 flashes a day = flashing kernel more than 60 times a month ?

lets say they take 3 months to make NITdroid compatible with uboot... and no kernel reflashing everytime.

3 months x 30 days x 2 kernel flashes a day = can easily flash kernel 200 times or more in this timefame...

of course the NAND manufacturer documentation (might) says you can reflash many times... way more than 200 at least...

theoretically, its not an issue....

Somehow NITdroid apps behave like spyware, installing tons of background apps that spy on you and carry usage information back to the developer and and back to you. Even when the apps are not running.

Simply put, you need tons of RAM and ghz processor speed.

Maemo apps are much more cleaner.

Android is becoming worse than Apple apps.

Ad supported apps are not my cup of tea esp. on limited hw like mobile

phones and tablets.

yes removing the apk will solve the problem, but most apps do install and start their own service, even though i dont see the need for it.

just installing few apps and programs fills up N900's RAM, you read that right, not executing apps, just installing them fills up the memory (RAM)

and since programs dont really quit, it just gets pushed back, unless you always go and kill each task.

imho, maemo is the best mobile OS when it comes to RAM management. programs actually quit when you stop executing, apart from daemons.

i hope meego does not end up like android or worse iOS.
