Finally I managed to update to -02.
And it worked out of the box

I still have some remarks.

First one is just "cosmetic". Would you mind taking out partition 8 and 9 from configuration and init? Our standard compiled kernels only support up to 8 devices (7 partitions). We would need to have recompiled kernel to support more than 7 partitions (and that would count for ubi kernel as well as harmattan/nitdroid/nemo (possibly sailfish? ) kernels.

Second one is I would like to give my device(s) a unique IP address. Even for telnet usage. I know x.x.x.15 is kind of standard, but would like to have my own. So just adding a G_IP_ADDRESS would be fine. (after reading sources I think just adding IP_ADDRESS= to ubiboot.conf will work. Not yet tested) So maybe obsolete.

Third one is a bug (probably). Did you or anyone else was successful with version -02 and using mtd5?
I moved my old v-01 sources to mtd and worked flawlessly with mtd5 kernel. Then I copied ubiboot.conf and cpio to root of mtd5 and also to MyDocs/boot. But the files from mtd are never read and always MyDocs/boot config used. Of course flashe v-02 ubi kernel.
I think you not only need to detach mtd device, but also delete ubi device (-d 0); otherwise moslo will be mounted to ubi1:moslo. So either add ubidetach -d 0 or just exchange ubi0:moslo to ubi1:moslo.

I also moved my nemo from p7 to p6 and everythings works.
Nitdroid without any changes work.

I wanted to boot nit from p5:
I copied my full p2 to p5 (of course together with all kernels in boot), moved nit folder to p5, changed nitdroid partition number to 5 in config. And here comes my problem. Nitdroid does not want to start. It always shuts down with black screen: selection in ubi works, selecting nit kernel works (ubi log kexec load success), but then I have dim-lighted black screen for about a few (30?) seconds and device is off. Power button for 3 s jsust boots up again. I have nfc what is biting me here? Maybe watchdog, as it seems not to be started by default. Maybe we can discuss this on irc next days?
I already added some logging to preinit_nitdrod, and it seems execution gets stuck randomly during execution (sometimes during check_rootfs, sometimes a bit later at mounting p3, but never getting to droidboot???

--edit
Ah and maybe one more (to be confirmed tomorrow morning).
Charging an empty device with wall charger works in act-dead mode. But this morning it was still connected to charger and an alarm fired up: no light on display, no UI at all, no possibility to stop the alarm ...

--edit2
Confirming the total absence of UI, when device is on charger in act-dead and an alarm triggers.
An alarm triggered when off (not charging) works nice. Even so when the device is powered on.

Furthermore I experienced that the act-dead charging mode worked only 1 out of 3 times. I had device off, plugged charger, then it booted, shut down (steady LED) and rebooted to telnet console. I pulled charger, pushed power button for 8s and tried again. Same. Only af the third time I saw the charging symbol.
Logs do not tell any suspicious (to me ).
Also for me charging a powered off phone (obviously with a wall charger) didn't work; instead of charging was activated only maintenance mode.. In fact I used the flasher trick to do it..
The second edit seems the same problem of the first start alarm bug (maybe isn't this the case) that have users (me too) that installed the CODeRUS Unrestricted System UI, solvable with the deactivation of the orientation widget with:
Code:
gconftool -s --type=bool /desktop/meego/status_menu/widgets/orientation/working false
