::UPDATE TIME:: :)
This will be added to first post tomorrow also

New RootFS: http://downloads.nitdroid.com/NITDro...oYo-GAPPs.tbz2 | http://files2.nitdroid.com/NITDroid-...oYo-GAPPs.tbz2
Kernel Required: 2.6.28.NIT.02(http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/....NIT.02.tar.gz | http://files2.nitdroid.com/zImage-2.6.28.NIT.02.tar.gz)
Kernel Modules Required For Maemo: 2.6.28.NIT.02(http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/....NIT.02.tar.gz | http://files2.nitdroid.com/modules-2.6.28.NIT.02.tar.gz)
Recommended Additional Items: Beta2 Bootmenu but Jay-C: http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/...2.beta2.tar.gz | http://files2.nitdroid.com/bootmenu2.beta2.tar.gz


Their is a small howto below for getting this running as it is not as simple as previous roots due to Google APPs

--CHANGELOG--
Froyo(2.2) Based
Battery Reporting Broken Currently
Lights and Accell Library(Alpha Ver) From e-yes intergrated
FULL GOOGLE APPS INCLUDING MARKET THAT CAN DOWNLOAD/INSTALL THINGS
Calibrated Touchscreen driver (Thanks again Jay-C)
Updated inits in prep for further gsm/3g dev (not active or useful as yet)
Flash Player IS NOT included by default but should be downloadable from http://www.adobe.com/go/getfp10android after activating device with google accoutn (to enable market access)

All in all this is VERY stable, google apps give no reduction in speed nor do they crash (except once at first boot- see below)

ok now for the howto:

All these steps should be performed on N900
Start off with a open xterm window at root shell or an open ssh connection(ssh is easier to typ in)

1. Install new bootmenu if you chose to use it (highly recommended)

2. Download And Install new Kernel Modules
3. Mount your android partition and install rootfs (this will wipe out previous data so backup anything you want)
4. flash new kernel:
** open up a second xterm window as root and run this **
** switch back to other xterm and continue **
close both xterm windows once flash completes.

thats the install done. now reboot into your new os :)

few things to mention about this build:

1. On first boot you will get a prompt of what to use to do something, pick setupwizard
2. it will take a short while for device to load far enough to select the item above so be patient
3. once into setup wizard click skip > skip and next all the way. then when it loads up the add account wizard skip that also.
4. SetupWizard will now crash, click close and the android desktop will return.
5. Go setup your wifi (will very likely require a reboot to work)
6. once wifi is up go into market app and wait, the add accoutn wizard will appear and you can now continue through and setup your google account. once it is setup wait and the market will load after a short time


hopefully this is nice and clear and simple :)

sorry for mega post again

I also have no wifi. Hmmmmm.

More details: I get several "not responding" errors:
"Process system is not responding."
"Application Settings (in process com.android.settings) is not responding."
"Activity Wi-Fi settings (in application Settings) is not responding."

If I try to add a wifi network manually, it hangs as I press Save, and then I get another error (eventually, it's slow) until I press Cancel.

Scanning never finds anything.

Wifi has to be turned on every time, and it doesn't seem to do any good.

If I leave it alone for too long (don't have an exact time, I was fixing dinner and chasing my kids) it will simply shut itself down.
Also, everything is slower than cold tar going uphill in the wintertime.

Whew.. This also happened to me using the instructions here (using Ubuntu) and in using Linux Mint for wiki.nitdroid.

I make it sure I was able to copy the rootfs to the 2nd partition, and copied exactly what was written bootmenu file.

I reflashed the appropriate zImage-4 kernels for Froyo, and 3 for the previous rootfs. I did that in Ubuntu.

None of them worked as I expected. Have used 3 microSD cards and repartitioned as said in this forum.

Any help will do..
