+ | ==Fixes== | ||
+ | Some simple fixes of NITDroid included here: | ||
+ | ===Not charging=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In NITDroid, go to: | ||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | App drawer --> Settings --> Manage applications --> Development --> Stay awake | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | This should let the screen stay awake while charging, your device will be charging normally. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Google account sign-in=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Skip google sign-up in the first tutorial instead, sign up/in google once in NITDroid. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Overclocking Nitdroid== | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. You can download ready GUI's from the market for OCing: http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=16607&d=1293643705 | ||
+ | |||
+ | NOTE: Recommended settings for Setcpu: Min:125 Max:805 Governor:Conservative | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. Or use one of these profiles: http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=116.0 | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Kernel Power installation== | ||
+ | |||
+ | For kernel-power multiboot entry: | ||
+ | http://www.mediafire.com/?t3mdemq1hj7v5ur | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. Unrar this archive to ./MyDocs, then: | ||
+ | 2. On Xterminal, execute:<pre>root | ||
+ | mount /home /and | ||
+ | dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/multiboot-0.2.11-kernel-power-46-Android-Kernel/* | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | 3. Reboot your device, you shall see a new multiboot entry for kernel-power. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Custom EMMC's== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Just in case you fear to run out of memory, here are custom EMMC's if you want to reflash with: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 5GB app memory 24GB /MyDocs: http://www.mediafire.com/?j6srnaxwr3notaf | ||
+ | |||
+ | and/or | ||
+ | |||
+ | 8GB app memory 21GB /MyDocs: http://www.mediafire.com/?5o1hkuuwhn8hh1c | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Uninstalling Nitdroid == | ||
+ | Open X Terminal and type the following commands: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | root | ||
+ | mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /and -o noatime | ||
+ | nitdroid-uninstaller | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | After it completes, simply format your microSD card, then using filebox delete nitdroid's installation folders and files that were copied to home: | ||
+ | bin, data, dev, etc (symlink), initrd, lib (symlink), mnt, proc, sbin, sdcard, sys, system, tmp, usr,default.prop, init, init.nokia.rc, init.rc | ||
