Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

You don't close programs as easily as you are used to with Maemo. Android supposedly closes them for you when it needs the space and determines you are not using it anymore.

You can still shut them down manually with Android though by going to settings>application management (or whatever it is called in Froyo) and selecting the app or a setting from within that application manager applet.


BTW, I don't use this on the N900 but as others have stated, the fact that I can is one of the reasons why I like the N900 in the first place.

Now that there is an auto-installer, others will try it and perhaps develop a greater appreciation for Maemo5 and may better understand the reasoning behind some of the decisions that were made during Maemo's development. :)

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

Do you guys have repositories extra, testing and devel enabled??

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

am i wrong in saying that sliding the screen lock thingy next to headphone jack socket closes apps on nitdroid? sure thats what i was using? if i can get nitdroid running anyone can! just follow the steps mine was bailing out trying to extract nit. but i used a decent sd card instaed of the £9 4 gig shitter i got from argos and it worked a treat! now to find tabdroid!

I just don't get it. Everyone except Nokia and Apple makes Android phones, and they make billions of them. If you want Android, then get one of those. They all work, even the "phone apps" in them work, and it is not like Android will be better or different on the N900, Android is Android :confused: :rolleyes:

If you want to try something different, then try MeeGo, at least that makes some sense. :D

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

its the whole "because you can"

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

Yes, it's a problem figuring out how you guys can't get it to work.

Re: Nitdroid today, auto-installer and 1st impression
 

That I was able to test Android in my N900 make me respect the hardware. And actually testing Android there make me respect Maemo.

Yes, there is a big number of Android apps, but most have better alternatives already in Maemo. There are even some things in Maemo that you can't actually find in Android (i.e. fcam, at least the whole thing that it enables). And the multitasking interface, well, i should undestand it better or install addons that simplify that, but i like more Maemo's one.

Having said that, anyway there will be apps that you could want to run, games is an easy pick, at least take native advantage of being played in a touchscreen, with accelerometer that could give better experience than i.e. games in an emulator. And when the phone part gets published/functional, you will be able to share your contacts between maemo and android thru google what will make a matter preference or particular requirement what OS you will be running in a moment or another.
