Hi guys. I've searched the forum, but there's no thread that has the answers to my questions. I think you guys should know that I have no experience or whatsoever in doing anything more than installing applications on my N900. I am as n00b as you can get! so I hope that the experienced users here can give me the proper guidance..


okay on to my questions;

1. if I flash (i think that's what you call it, installing a different OS) the Android OS on my phone, will it replace all my N900 OS files? or will it have 2 OS in one device?

2. if I choose to go back to Maemo 5, is it possible to completely remove any single trace of Android in it? or in other words, get it in it's stock state/factory settings? as if having a new N900, without any changes to the system at all and have default settings.

3. if anything goes wrong, or if I made a mistake some where in the middle of the installation process, will it permanently cripple my N900?

4. can the Android OS operate without sliding the keyboard?

5. is the Android OS on the N900 good? good in the sense that it's practical to use. wouldn't want it to freeze and crash now do we.


for those who can help me, can you further explain and elaborate on your answers? I'm really interested in learning. thank you!

How well did you searched?

This thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...954#post743954 has all the answers. I'm just as lazy as you are to write answers to all your questions but feels free to look at that thread or wait maybe someone will write answers here

Hi HellFlyer. yeah I've read that thread already, but most of their questions are regarding the mid installation process. so upon reading it I was really lost, cause I'm not a 100% sure that i want to flash to Android whereas most of them there want to flash it and is in the middle of doing so.
