      Fixes

      APP Market Fix

      • Open the Market app (from the Home screen or app launcher)
      • Leaving the Market app running, return to the Home screen and open the Settings app again
      • Within Settings select ApplicationsManage applicationsRunning (from Tab at top)
      • Scroll to select the Market app → press the Clear Cache button → then press the Force Stop button (Do not press the Clear Data button)
      • Press the back button (to go back to the list of running apps)
      • Scroll to select Google Services Framework → press the Clear Data button → OK (to confirm) → then press the Force Stop button
      • Return to the Home screen
      • Launch the Market app again, which will give an error "Attention an error has occurred..." → OK button
      • Shutdown by holding power button → Power OffOK
      • Restart, wait for wi-fi to reconnect, open Market again (You may have to reboot several times and check Market)

      The opening Market screen should no longer be blank, and many more apps (free & paid) should now be available. (Although apps can be downloaded, some may still fail to install or run properly)

      WIFI Fix (rare cases)

      Change the encryption from WPA2 to WPA from your Wireless Access Point. This is a compatibility issue hopefully going to be fixed in later releases.

      Airplane Mode Fix

      For people who enabled airplane mode, fixes that are in here were tried by me:

      1. Enable the widget power control and turn airplane mode off
      2. If this didn't work disable pin code in maemo
      3. menudevtoolsterminal emulator
        su
        rr
        
      4. The technical solution:
        cd /and/data
        rm -rf *
        mkdir logs
        chmod 777 logs
        cd /
        umount /and
        

      Google account sign-in

      Skip google sign-up in the first tutorial instead, sign up/in google once in NITDroid.

      Overclocking

      1. You can download ready GUI's from the market for OCing
      2. Or use one of these profiles: http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=116.0

      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 apps 24GB mydocs: http://www.mediafire.com/?j6srnaxwr3notaf

      and

      8GB apps 21GB mydocs: http://www.mediafire.com/?5o1hkuuwhn8hh1c

      Uninstalling Nitdroid

      If on your mmc: Open X Terminal and type the following commands:

      root
      mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and -o noatime
      nitdroid-uninstaller
      

      If on your emmc:

      root
      mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /and -o noatime
      nitdroid-uninstaller
      

      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
