Beginners Guide to Installing Android v2.2 on N900 PR 1.2
 

I know there are many threads & forum out here with how to install Android on N900. However, to make life simpler, can you please give step by step instructions for beginners to install Android 2.2 on Nokia N900.

Also, if some one wants to uninstall Android 2.2 and go back to Maemo5, how to do so??

Also, is it possible to make calls, use applications like Skype on ported version of Android on N900? There are many threads about games that can run on Nitroid N900. How do you install those games once you have Android installed on N900 ? And most important how do you install Flash 10.1 on Nitroid N900?

Please help.

If you cannot follow the guide in post 1 here http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=58890 you should not be installing additional os!

If you wait a couple of days an autoinstaller is on it's way.

Re: Beginners Guide to Installing Android v2.2 on N900 PR 1.2
 

you can voot to maemo all the time, because nitdroid is on the micro sd card installed and multiboot is for dualboot.

phone calls doenst work at the mom, but all this information is in the dev thread or on http://nitdroid.com (or forum http://forum.nitdroid.com)

Thanks. As per your information, I understand Maemo5 o/s will stay as it is & Android 2.2 will dual boot with Maemo5, rite ??

Also, later on if I wish to uninstall Android, is it possible ? And will Maemo5 work perfectly as it does after uninstalling Android ??

And does Android 2.2 have Flash 10.1 support??

well, just for a precausion, format your sd card before u use autoinstaller just sayin.

to uninstall, you go and format ur sd card after u install it!

yes it has flash support

curios about the flash. Is it worth trying, is performance better than with maemo5

Re: Beginners Guide to Installing Android v2.2 on N900 PR 1.2
 

IMHE it is not worth trying until NITDroid has support for phone/gps.

My application also works weidly after i install android I had to reflash (the old version of the maemo boot menu, i have not test the current version)

Where is the autoinstaller?

Re: Beginners Guide to Installing Android v2.2 on N900 PR 1.2
 

It's not ready yet.... see Toja92's post above

Re: Beginners Guide to Installing Android v2.2 on N900 PR 1.2
 

Which flash ? Adobe flash player? No, not worth it, the performance is even crappier. Youtube is very choppy

Re: Beginners Guide to Installing Android v2.2 on N900 PR 1.2
 

Propably that this is due to 2D GRX not working yet (When it's ready it might be as good as the currently superb working games now that 3d GRX is working). :)

Re: Beginners Guide to Installing Android v2.2 on N900 PR 1.2
 

u have an idea when we will get 2d acceleration?

Re: Beginners Guide to Installing Android v2.2 on N900 PR 1.2
 

Where can we get the apps, games etc. as shown in youtube videos? Is it free or cracked?

Please help.

Thanks.

Some are from the maket, some from (purchasing or free) apks that can be installed via a file manager.

I have purchased a new 16gb SDHC card for N900.

I do not know much of linux or programming. So how do I format & partition it to use it with Android 2.2 ?

Re: Beginners Guide to Installing Android v2.2 on N900 PR 1.2
 

Easiest way is with the auto installer. http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=84.0.

It can be manually installed but as this has caused many people problems the instructions are not publicly available.

Re: Beginners Guide to Installing Android v2.2 on N900 PR 1.2
 

I have 16GB Class 6 memory card. I understand that 2GB is used by NITDroid and remaining can be used normally.

Can I use the remaining 14GB space on the Maemo5 and even Android 2.2 to save games, movies etc... ??
