Well, I just got hold of a second one in case my first one dies... I have a HTC Sensation here a work to play around with Android and I just prefer my N900.

I'm also very grateful for the Opera browser on the N900. Opera did a hell of a job, I can't believe how fast the browser is on this 600 MHz ARM box.

The N900 will stay with me for a while, so there will also be new Rockbox releases :)

Re: Porting rockbox to n900

Thomas , it's great that you are still working on this awesome program. I use it everyday, however

Can I easily roll back to the previous version?

I can't get on with this one, particular problems.

1. Customized skins messed up
2. Playlists not working well (creating)
3. New UI (which I can't be bothered to learn - I know thats bad)

Can someone posts the steps needed to re-install the previous version?

Thx

you need to download .deb

for instance this:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...emo1_armel.deb
or another version if needed, dont know which was the latest previous version

Sorry, I promise this will be the last question.

Do I need to be root to install?

If i navigate to where I've saved the deb, do I just type:

dpkg -i package.deb (obviously I replace package, with the nam of the file!)

or do I have to specify where the program will be installed? or does it know?

Thanks all as usual you've been most helpful.
