TEAM Energy proudly presents CM 9(00) [WIP][U-Boot-MultiBoot]

[AndyYan]

Andy, stop saying shit. It isn't THAT laggy, its performace is pretty cool.

I'm not trying to shit on you guys' great job (love to see a CM on our N900), but after following the guide I really don't see any UI speed improvements. Will try again later today. Sorry for any trouble.

[AndyYan]

Just went over a clean install and performance is still fair'n'square as N14. HWA is not enabled for real?
Then why's the 3rd demo video so smooth?

PLUS:
A slightly off-topic BUT maybe helpful hint to custom kernel users:
Use UBoot 2012.04-2 here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=81613
When I used 2012.04-1 version provided here, Kernel-Power loads but won't boot up; with the new ver and virtually no other changes I was able to boot Kernel-Power as well as Kernel-BFS (I wrote a config file myself)

andy, do you know, bfs is abandoned long ago pwck is better, i think.

Is that so? I thought BFS was introduced to replace CFS in stock kernel so it's faster... And Kernel-BFS gets regularly updated too.
BTW what's pwck?

===============

And when's HWA gonna be released? (I just know you guys must have the material but won't release it for some reason )

[XeonDead]

i'm just a beta-tester of cm9(00), hwa is mostly vakkov's addition.

[Aditya_Jhaveri]

This isnt the HWA one,but I read from someone's post on TGNT that it was possible to get it using Crevetor's 2.6.35 kernel
@Sanjeev.A.Rangaswami , @Vakkov Can anyone pls tell me if I am correct or not?

Also,what do I do to get it working on multiboot?
will rc7 from multiboot kernel not work for me?

pls get my name right or just sanjeev  will do..

Sorry,Sanjeev!
But what abt my question?

[Ulized]

Anyone, can make a step by step tutorial? its really anoying the first one and i'm really noob at this.

Oh, I see... Then I'll just bother Sanjeev for this issue...

I think the 3# post tutors quite well. You don't have to know what's a tarball, just follow through.
But first, are you rooted? Can you use basic XTerm commands?
AND are you ready for this laggy, mostly unusable (sorry but to me it's real) CM9 experience?

[emilhuseynli]

Sorry, but it's not a good advice to tell someone blindly follow some steps to achieve some result, if he/she don't really understand what's going on behind the scenes. Especially in such things as installing nitdroid on Nokia N900. Who takes the responsibility if something goes wrong? Right, nobody. So, executor must understand what he's doing.

yes im rooted, but the method, i dont understand...

I must mount and, then copy files from zip inside? like nitdroid? and then what i have to do with the kernel?

Even now I don't understand the ins and outs of a tarball, but if you say one must know what a step will do to yur device, then I agree.
And nearly all disclaimers for this kind of mod says "you (user) are solely responsible for any damage caused", no?

Let's get this start and over with.
(Better remove your existing NITDroid installation AND multiboot first, you can ask me for detils if you get stuck)

First download all files except the audio fix (there's 4 individual files in the "esentials" link and you need them all)
Now you have 2 deb files for uboot, a 273MB .tar file for CM9, a "uImage" and a "50-cm900.item".
Open 50-cm900.item with any ord editor you like, change the "ITEM_USEATAG" to "ITEM_OMAPATAG" and save.
Connect to PC and put all files under root folder of storage (/home/user/MyDocs)
Disconnect from PC.
Fire up Xterm, type as below and (of course) press enter after each command:
    root
    cd /home/user/MyDocs
    dpkg -i u-boot-tools_2012.04-1_armel.deb
    dpkg -i u-boot-flasher_2012.04-1_armel.deb // Install uboot-tools first for dependency
    cp 50-cm900.item /etc/bootmenu.d
    cd /
    mkdir /and // Assuming you haven't installed NITDroid before or have removed it.
    mount /home /and
    tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/(name of tar file).tar            // Extract main NITDroid system like you've done in N12, etc.
    u-boot-update-bootmenu
After these steps just POWER OFF (use the key, not any software switches). After a while slide out keyboard and turn on. Boot menu will appear. Choose the right item and you'll boot up.

Enjoy (If this's still not clear enough just post your question here, Sanjeev and fellow devs can answer probs I can't)

install u-boot-2012.04-2 already, it works better than 2012.04-1

+1, hope Sanjeev see this (but really I don't know why it works for me and 2012.04-1 don't)
