How To Install Android Gingerbread 2.3.3 On Nokia N900
I know some users were very unhappy with the Nokia N900 and its operating system Linux Maemo so that I was asked several times if it were possible to install Android on this type of smartphone. The answer seems to be positive due to a port of Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread , which should run perfectly (or almost) on your Nokia !
All this is possible thanks to a project called NITDroid that their goal is to bring Android devices like the Nokia N900 or Nokia N8 ! In an announcement released a few days ago, now anyone can download and install Android on your N900 2.3.3. Here’s the changelog for version:
- New GAPPS preinstalled (automatically downloaded after market Should Be login to google account)
- USB Mass Storage support
- Accelerometer ‘aggressive mode’ for games.
- Wi-Fi fixed RSSI (signal strength icon in status bar)
- Video playback (youtube, mediaplayer) fixed
- Ofon 0.45. Improved ofone / ril logic in the startup script init.rc (no endless non-network anymore)
- ElectronBeam effect
- Latest from CyanogenMod average (ring-tones, notification sounds, etc.)
- Emergency Reboot (press shift + Fn (blue arrow) + R + B on hw keyboard for quick reboot without confirmation)
The first thing you need to do is download the image and the kernel of the following links and put them in a directory / MyDocs in your root. Unless you have a MyDocs folder in the root, then create it and inseriteci the following files:
- Image: http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/N11_Vostok.tar.bz2
- Kernel: http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb
Now by the APA managers need to allow all repositories ( extras-testing-devel Extras, Extras , and Nokia default repository ) and installed Leafpad via the App manager and make sure you have root privileges . Open X Terminal and type the following commands:
root
apt-get update
apt-get install-installer nitdroid
y
y (again if required).
Now wait for the installation of NITDroid X Installer terms and can close Terminal. I recommend NOT try to start the application you just installed! Reopen X Terminal and type:
root
cd / home / user / MyDocs
N11_Vostok.tar.bz2 bzip2-d
cd / home
mkdir / and
cd /
mount / home / and
cd / and
tar xvf / home/user/MyDocs/N11_Vostok.tar
dpkg-i / home / user/MyDocs/nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb
We are almost done, now we need to edit a file by typing:
leafpad / etc/multiboot.d/11
and changed the voice ITEM_DEVICE depending on your situation:
- If you have an MMC (Micro SD card) inserted in your N900, ITEM_DEVICE changed as follows:
ITEM_DEVICE = $ {p2} INT_CARD - Unless you have a MMC card inserted in your N900, ITEM_DEVICE changed as follows:
ITEM_DEVICE = mmcblk0p2
Save the file, close the terminal and restart your N900 and choose “2″ which will run Android 2.3.3 NITDroid! I want to clarify that I have not been able to test the guidance and that these controls are reported in the official wiki of the project .You can find more information and also how to uninstall it all going to this page .
