    Nitdroid:-

    Installation

    You can install NITDroid Installer using Hildon Application Manager, fapman, or apt-get, it should be in the system category. After installation, use the icon in the menu to install NITDroid, after installation the icon will be changed to an uninstaller icon so you can, if you want, uninstall NITDroid.

    To install via apt-get: You need to have the rootsh package installed from the Application manager so you could run apt-get as root.

    Make sure that the Application Manager is closed, other programs that manage applications might also interfere

    Now open up the X Terminal and enter these codes:

    root
    apt-get install nitdroid-installer

    If your installation hangs on [Formatting /dev/mmcblklp2 (ext3) ...] then follow the partition:-

    If it struck install nitdroid version 0.2.7(attachment)

    Wait for the installation of the NITDroid Installer to complete then enter this:

    nitdroid

    Reboot to get access to Android

    Kernel Power for Maemo. kernel-power is compatible with Multiboot from version 39 and onwards of kernel-power

    To get access to the Enhanced kernel for Maemo please make sure you first have the newest version

    Enter this in the X Terminal:

    root
    apt-get install kernel-power-bootimg

    Now either make your own .item file for Multiboot or let multiboot handle it automatically:

    dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/multiboot-kernel-power_0.3_armel.deb



    Uninstall :-
    Even though NITDroid is perfect , you may want to uninstall it sometimes.

    Here's the instructions how:

    I assume you have installed NITdroid with nitdroid-installer.

    1. First, open Xterm and drop to root.

    2. Mount your nitdroid partition on /and.
    Code:
    mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and -o noatime

    3. Run the uninstaller scripts.
    Code:
    nitdroid-uninstaller

    4. Unmount
    Code:
    umount /and

    5. If you are not going it install NITDroid again, you can also remove nitdroid-installer:
    Code:
    apt-get remove nitdroid-installer


    After these steps you don't have any traces of NITDroid or multiboot in Maemo.
    However, you still have the SD card partitioned for NITDroid.

    Let's repartition it next.
    Code:
    sfdisk /dev/mmcblk1 << EOM
    ,,C
    ,,
    ,,
    ,,
    EOM

    sync

    mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1

    Now you should have a normal MSDOS partition in your card!

    the old manual way of installing was fine for me as i could still overclock maemo
    but with the auto installer overclocking maemo wasnt working
    (and i tried all the fixes and options for that)
    can maemo be overclocked with this method?
