Nokia Booklet 3G - OSx86

[Flyinace2000]

Here is our How-To for the nokia booklet. Its a work in progress. But almost everything works, except for audio.

Great work- a few comments I'd make:

 

your link to chameleon no longer points to the file, and regardless, not the installer version. Following the readme included is simple however.

 

I'd either make your own script for adding disabler to the sony kexts and then building the cache, or just explain it.

 

To fix the screen brightness to full at boot, modify the GMA500BacklightDisplay's Info.plist as follows:

max is the maximum intensity (255 is correct)

min sets the lowest it can go- sure, 40 is fine if you want it to always be on at least some amount, but real macs can go down to 0

value is the level to startup at.

 

note however, that changing the value of brightness in the vaiopenabler plist does NOT seem to work. It always dims the screen at boottime.

 

oddly, I HAD sound before I installed the booklet-optimized bootloader- any idea what's up with that?

 

another strange thing.. try using your `/~ key... voodoops2 by chance?

The key gives me a double S symbole and +/- symbol...weird!

yep... i'll try some other ps2 kexts later

 

also- on a boot from -f -v i get no mouse, but a successive reboot i do... might be a buggy kext...

anyway, i've been trimming out my kexts and updating...

- voodoohda is useless obviously until we get actual sound working again, so there's no need to install it

- the gma brightness enabler should be modified as i listed above

- I've been experimenting with voodoopoweracpi to see if theres any chance it might have better clockdown than mini.

- disabler.kext is NOT needed, but for some reason before i went to 10.6.2 i had problems without it...

- snc.kext is useless if you use the option drivers

 

I have a feeling the AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext needs modified to ignore warnings about the 80-conductor disconnected- unless i'm mistaken after looking at the hub in intel's documentation, there's NO sata at all, and the drive must be on a sata-ata bridge. This could speed things up drastically if the kext is only running at ata33 because of the 80-conductor error.

 

lack of keyboard brightness control is a bit annoying, and individual power control via software for wireless would be nice...

 

 

--EDIT--

http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/...903.html#msg903

if you're logged in, this post has a version of the kext that works fine. make sure to swap your option and command keys in the keyboard control panel if you prefer apple-style layout of course.

 

--Another edit--

HDD sleep seems unstable, spinning down and instantly spinning back up- only during sleep does it seem to respect proper drive sleep. I tried going through processes and find that it's not even issuing any io when this happens... it's noticeable by a lound click every minute or so...

Thanks for the HOWTO guys, very impressive.

I have noticed that any graphics animation in the GUI (core animation?) is VERY slow and jumpy.

I am not 100% sure, but I think this started after the 10.6.2 update.

Any ideas please?

My video performance is pretty bad. I just assumed that was due to not having true GMA500 drivers for the video card.

So thats no audio at all, and no real video. Almost wish I hadn't bought this beasty now.

Here is hoping for some future breakthroughs.

as much as this site, etc is dedicated to using osx on unsupported.. I'd honestly say, unless it's been proven to be fully supported on all levels, don't buy it as a mac replacement.. I personally bought the thing to run windows, and it's glorious at this... I'm pretty sure putting osx on it is more of an experiment than advice to "buy one to be a mac" at this point- as you say, video and sound are an issue, although I'm more inclined to say the current issues are really as follow:

 

lack of individual radio power control

hdd spindown does not function, thus destroying any hope of reaching the 10+ hours battery life once can obtain in windows

the dns bug

 

all in all, I'm happy though that i have a spare system I can run basic osx apps on when i need access to them. and until there's more owrk on the gma500, I think that's the best luck we'll have. Sorry that you decided to buy the nice hardware specifically for running osx...

 

on a related topic, what are we looking at in terms of adding an original or modified dsdt.aml to the mix- should it be done?

Just incase you need/want the win7 drivers

Strange.. audio worked once, but I cant repeat it.

[dogei22]

Regarding the sound issue I'm getting seeing very strange but promising behavior. I have a USB stick that I have installed the Chameleon 2 RC3 bootloader on (standard, no boot files replaced, just simple install) and every time I

 

1) Select F12 when booting my Nokia Booklet

2) Select the USB stick from the boot list that boots into Chameleon

3) Interrupt the countdown by pressing a key

4) Select to boot from the local HDD on my Booklet

 

it boots with perfect sound enabled!!!

 

 

If I have the same standard Chameleon 2 RC3 bootloader installed on the internal HDD I get no sound at all (no sound device recognised).

 

Any ideas on why this is and how to solve it?

[dogei22]

Audio now partially solved!

 

I'm running 10.6.2 according to installation instructions above. I realized audio sometimes worked perfectly but mostly the audio device did not even show up in the system info, so I wanted to figure out why it sometimes worked.

 

I still do not know the reason behind but I can now get audio to work on every boot doing the following:

 

1) Turn the Booklet on from the On/Off button

 

2) At the Chameleon bootloader countdown screen, press Ctrl-Alt-Del so that the Booklet reboots

 

3) Let it reboot normally all the way to OS X => I now have audio enabled

 

In other words, doing a Ctrl-Alt-Del reboot at the first bootloader countdown and then letting it reboot normally somehow resets the audio device to show up in OS X. You have to do the C-A-D trick between every reboot/restart.

confirmed! the same behaviour here!

 

i hope this gives a clue to someone ...

won't go any further than that. Do you see anything that's wrong? Thanks.

Hi everybody, 

 

Sorry to revive this old topic but I have a question.

 

I'm able to have my booklet in SL 10.6.2 following several guides but they all explain how to update until 10.6.2, nothing further. My question is, is it possible to update to 10.6.8? I know there are kernels with atom support for that update and some atom Z530 users that have reported the update working like a charm.

 

I've tried 10.6.7 already but I can't boot afterwards, it gets stuck in the apple logo, the spinning wheel and then a Denied symbol appears in front of the logo after a few seconds.

 

This is what I do, 

-Install combo update 10.6.7, don't restart after it's done

-Install legacy kernel 10.6.7 Darwin 10.7.0

-Repair disks permissions and rebuild cache just in case

 

I've tried also deleting the sleepenabler kext before the update.

 

When I boot in verbose mode, it gets stuck in waiting for root device.

 

Am I missing something?

 

Thanks in advance, I'm in the learning process and this website is awesome.
