The fix is simple:


And, in Android, just load this module in load_modules.sh.

dsme && bme already runs on Nitdroid.
also I wrote simple watchdog pinger ('popingui') and it started as service in android (from init.nokia.rc). some watchdog doesn't reset its timeout anyway (I don't remember exactly which one, seems 'external') and system reset occurs. and in my opinion, ought not to disable watchdogs. we ought to fix kernel or userspace problem instead.

in other words: there is no difference in R&D enabled and disabled R&D (with broken watchdogs).

New touchscreen module, "bottom inaccuracies" problem solved (at least for me).

place it in /system/lib/modules

Please report which one works better for you. Thanks.
