Samsung NC10 UK revision, Updates / Installation / Modding etc, stuff will be here Options

[ Mysticus C*]

thanks for all your hard work on this! i used your guide for setting the bios and partitions on my machine however so far I've had most success using the msiwindosx dvd, this has given me most of the functions i need.

Bluetooth
Sound
Wifi (dell 1490)
screen resolution
sleep
etc...

My only real issues are:

the usb weirdness, have you fixed this? when booted with a usb device it works fine but it won't mount new usb devices plugged in whilst the machine is running!

also the headphone switching, i have downloaded a modified switch.sh installed chud and aziliaaudio kext is present however i still can't seem to get the hadphones working!

also in theory is it possible to get the trackpad working like a macs? with multiple finger scrolls etc?

is there someway i can get these bad boys going?

Thanks again

the only reason my guide didnt work for you is because you didnt read it carefully...

also what you mean by most success? nc10 dvd is better than msiwindosx due to the fact that it is customized for nc10!

and with the latest dvd upgrade option, it is contains latest chameleon bootloader, and drivers and settings that gives you brightness control! (if you set it correctly)

now dvd will be using ps2nub driver so that acpi and apic will be stock vanilla! as well...

you will have almost full vanilla except:

gma drivers (for known reasons)
hda drivers (for known reasons)
ich7x drivers (for known reasons)

and most needed additional drivers
disabler
natit
acpibatteryman

and hopefully soon, i will solve the sleep (in power) issue with help from dense kabyl or other modder guys

full audio is already in the works...

the only thing that would be a problem is pickiness of the user and ability to understand and follow the guides carefully...

hi mysticus i understand the reason of my problem in fact when i install the samsungnc10 driver package i have this problem so i decided to wait for your new guide....also i make my congratulations to you for your work i and i think also really appriciated this....thanks

p.s sorry if this post is rich in errors and others things:D but i'm working on my english....

Any one of us can host the finalized nc10 iso/.dmg as a torrent somewhere? That may cut down on half the problems people are having with checksums and such. Thanks

[Marijnr]

The patch is updated regularly, so it's better to keep iso and patch separated.

[ Mysticus C*]

i hit a bump on my test at the moment, i m not sure exactly why but guessing i updated right files but used wrong iso on my test so retesting again... btw, guide is 99% finished as well...

as soon as i complete the test successfully i will wrap up the
guide + install pack (for other distro users) + dvd upgrade pack

i want to make sure that the system installs and runs correctly first only than i will release the files... i dont wanna mess up anyone's system...

for the torrent, i will not do it myself, but anyone wanna do it, welcomed to do so... just pm me if you have intentions of torrenting...

I received my NC10 the other day. Installed a custom XP I made by making a bootable USB drive. Great little machine!

I'm still waiting on my 1490, as well as Mysticus' updated patch. I'm also a little busy with work at the moment but hopefully I'll be able to install OS X after the new year and help any way I can.

Keep it up, Mysticus. You're the NC10 OS X hero.

[adamcarter]

I would totaly seed it torrent wise. But first I need a finalized approved version. as masterful as I am with computers this process seems quite complicated. Would love to just take a finalized nc10 dvd with 10.5.6 on it restore the cd to a usb drive and install from there. 44 min later everything "poifect"

[tazevil666]

So great mysticus I'm waiting for that !!!

For your files, If you want I have a Rapidshare account !
I will can upload files on it for all guys !

Contact me in PV or let a message on topic !

[ Mysticus C*]

ok i m back, and with good news... i made the final test and it works! great!

boot from os selection and enter to ready desktop state is 28 secs!

great ey?

now back to wrapping up the installer and guide with the latest pics

wait is almost over...
==============================================
adam: do you have os x (nc10 early version or jas?) installed? and if so which iso do you have in hand ready?

because the upgrade iso process is very painless and takes only 1 min
and will output a nc10 10.5.6 iso instantly... once you have the iso in hand, all you will need to do will be copy it to the windows partition and restart for the ddmac guide from windows to have a complete clean install...

I downloaded the JaS 10.5.4 via torrent, have absolutely no idea if its a valid install.

28 seconds isn't bad... not bad at all.

by the way I am having a friend install the latest unibody MBP onto my mac. to get those Multitapusb kexts... if I find them I will figure out a way to send them to you....perhaps we can incorporate..
what is this this sound switch thing....does that mean when you pop your headphones in it plays only thru headphones and when you unplug them it plays only thru speakers?

can we also have pictures on the brightness HUD is it the same look and feel and the OEM?

thanks

i dont think you will be a good candidate at the moment for current projects related help... w/o knowledge you will cause more delay for me than good

script is different thing than what you say, apparently you have no idea...

you have to run the script every time you wanna switch between hp and speakers doesnt work auto...
i made some patched drivers but it doesnt switch either, most likely trouble with codecs...

for brightness i already made pics etc, not great one of course (if anyone have better idea? design? let me know) but it works just one...

Oh I totally understand what a script is, I write scripts all the time... However, I didn't realize that was our only option (kinda sucks but if it is the best we can hope for, oh well) Does it work the same way on XP?
Myst you dont have to respond right away to my inquiries. I'd rather you dedicate your time to the cause. But, let me know if there is something i can do otherwise.

[ Mysticus C*]

everything is finished, but so damn tired, after replacing all the screen caps...

sorry guys, one more night... tomorrow afternoon everything will be ready in usual places and will be announced here...

g nite all... and sorry again for waiting guys...

[tazevil666]

don't worry, nice work i'm sure !
so I go to sleep ^^

Congrats and many thanks Mysticus C* and all the other contributors here
for making this thread such a precious resource for us nc10 owners.

Could you please also carry on with upgrade packs as well as the ppf
patches for the JaS iso, as so far I have used those on my msiwindosx
installation and everything is working as it should.

I should point out that my nc10 was installed on an mbr partition scheme,
because I have upgraded to a 500gb western digital scorpion blue drive
and I have a dell 1390 installed.

1st Partition is Primary 100.12gb Macintosh HD (journalled)
2nd is Primary 100gb Windows HD (ntfs)
3rd is 244.14gb Media (ntfs) holds video and music
4th is 21.48gb SHARE (fat32) for sharing files between mac and windows.

It is much faster than the standard drive that comes with the nc10 and
seems very fast and responsive.

I am running msiwindosx upgraded to 10.5.6 which was first upgraded
to 10.5.5 downloaded from Apple and using Mysticus C*'s nc10 1.0 package,

Then by downloading 10.5.6 from Apples web site and using Mysticus C*'s
ver 1.1 upgrade package.

I prefer to upgrade than re-install, as I have much information and data
on my osx install as well as my itunes library.

Saying that i did have to re-install earlier today as i messed up doing the
10.5.6 update with the nc10 1.0 package.

Luckily i have my original 160gb drive in a sata > usb hard drive dock from
Maplins and after installing msiwindosx again transferred my settings / data
with the mac option to transfer settings from another mac.

This worked like a dream although it did stall at the step of transferring network settings
and after waiting nearly an hour for it to end I did the only thing i could and turned it
off via the power button. once restarted I had everything back and had to do the 10.5.5
and 10.5.6 upgrades again, this time using the nc10 1.1 update pack for 10.5.6

I have not tried the brightness solution yet as I am not yet versed in scripts
and like everyone else the audio solution is not perfect, but at the moment
I am using a usb headset when the need arises for a mic, but I am a very
very happy bunny.

Everything is working as expected and I would like to say a great big thankyou
to Mysticus C* and everyone else in this thread who have contributed to make
this the most valuable nc10 resource on the forum.
