Android market - dl and install, just like your favorite ovi store

Tell me one reason on earth, that you still want to wait?

Installation: N900 running PR1.2; Nitdroid will be installed in a newly partitioned external microSD; you need a 2G or larger and it will be erased, so dont leave anything there. Ther auto installer will NOT touch your internal SD. There are million ways to install nitdroid, this is the way I did it. DJ_Steve auto installer, as of today, there is a slight hiccup, auto installer stuck at 2nd format "Format .... ext 3", you can partition manually (Step 1 Partition 1-3 and reboot), and continue with auto installer, the whole process should take less than 8 minutes! I used a 4G Kingston, and partition 2G and 2G. Author Jay-C awared of this and would probably correct it very soon. Repo.nitdroid.com has been retired by author.
Yes, overclock works, a very minor extra step if you interested, thread #2.

For the noobs, please please please check your typings before hitting the enter key, that would save you a lot of headache

Running: Initial running will take you to setup wizard
1) setup wifi, usual way, need to manually key in password
2) DO NOT Touch the airplane mode. It will turn off all wireless and is NOT strict forward to get out. Just leave it alone.
3) Now play
4) camera button half press or full press > returned to desktop

Android Market: In USA, go Android Market, search for OI file manager, dl and install, and have fun

To uninstall, thread #3.

Keyboard get around, read it twice, you need it:
1) Ctrl + arrow key = arrow key in Android
2) camera key half press takes one back to desktop main menu
3) the small button between speaker and earphone jack will get you out of application

From the wiki, http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900-install
==============================================
Using NITdroid

At the moment the proximity sensor (a barely visible round object on the left side of the touch screen) works as the Android menu button, the lock/unlock button on the right side of the phone works as a back button and the camera key functions as the home button.
===============================================

Once done booting to NITDroid, don't forget to Thank The NITDroid team!


Great thanks to the Nitdroid team, bring another excitement to the N900!
