This happens because of the Update has its own files system and will replace any setting on the device. Any customisation made will be needed to redone once more.

I'm doing my FmTxd right now :D
It doesn't hurt to go back and do it again :)

First uninstall FM-fake and then do it. Otherwise you'll get the error said "Unable to ...blah"

maxximuscool, please specify in your post what files you are talking about because if taken in general this would be WRONG. It could cause unneeded aggravation.

All application settings and additional files like icons stay when updating. These will be wiped with a re-flash though.

If however you went and changed something that was a system file including things like Kernel-Power and changes made to OEM binaries like FMTXD, they will be overwritten by the upgrade and will need to be changed back again....

***

For me this was the easiest Maemo upgrade that I have ever experienced since OS2007. All customizations and applications were left intact and I only had to replace custom binaries and modules like /usr/sbin/fmtxd and reinstall kernel-power-flasher.

It took about 25 minutes from start to finish including the mods mentioned above.

NO it removes the multiboot. Mine only boots into power kernal now and doesnt give me boot options. But since Nitdroid is on SDCard maybe you need to install only the multiboot as i haven't done it yet.

Re: PR 1.3 is live now! (Released 25 October 2010)

Device is MUCH snappier after 1.3. No longer do certain actions - like the app manager - lock my N900 up. Looks like IO handling has been much improved. In fact its to the point that I am happy to wait for titan to get the 1.3 kernel version out because right now my N900 is working as well as when I had it oced. Cant wait to see what oced 1.3 will be like.

Havent experienced any of the issues people have mentioned with SMS etc. I upgraded using ovi manager and of course I took a backup via the N900 backup program before installing the update. Then I just restored from that and Roberts your fathers brother.

Multiboot is intact, can boot to Nitdroid and power kernel.
