[HOWTO] Compile N900-NITdroid from sources

[melisa queen]

Can I use ubuntu 11.04 to compile files for N14(ICS)?!

[blackjack4it]

Not sure about, so try and if you'll get errors post them here so we can help you but why not upgrade to 11.10? In this week I'll try to update the guide to compile ics on Ubuntu 12

I got this error!(6a in the guide)

Code: [Select]

iman@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
> zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs \

EDIT: I want to install Ubuntu 12.04
I want to know which version is better for compiling NITdroid and has a complete compatibility with your new guide in the future?!(32 bit or 64 bit)

[blackjack4it]

Did you get errors in this steps?:

2a) add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
3a) add-apt-repository "ppa:ferramroberto/java" (thanks to mornage for hint)

Anyway, tomorrow I'll install Ubuntu 12.04 from scratch and update the guide, so it'll be for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit

[melisa queen]

YES
I got error during adding repositories!
But I removed my Ubuntu 11.04 and installed 12.04 64 bit
I am waiting for the new guide blackjack4it to help developing nitdroid

[blackjack4it]

I have some problems with Java, I think that is better for me to reinstall ubuntu again Note for other devs: don't install Java 1.7, the only java compatible for now is 1.6

Bad news about my n900, I can't have them repaired for now..but in november I'll go in London and let my n900's to be repaired in the uk repairying shop in TMO "Fix USB port" Thread..before that day I'll keep them still, however I'll continue to help the community by tutorials like this one and update them

the libs - http://www.mediafire.com/?2gpy11i48i4j447
mount nitdroid as /and and run this in terminal:

Code: [Select]

tar xvf lib.tar -C /and/system/libsanjeev.a.rangaswamy tested and he also noticed that the interface in the menu is smoother(especially switching from apps tab to widgets . However he said that he couldn't run fruit ninja. So,  everybody who wants to try a light game/3d app is welcome to report.
P.S. ics works with u-boot

Tried the libs you provided, system still lags as usual... Dunno why.

Have to disable Pinyin since it has not been updated in a while and crashes with new frameworks - http://rootzwiki.com/topic/17712-fix-the-crashing-of-google-pinyin/
