DJ Steve: Are the builds you're releasing 'Rooted'?
I don't have any need for it at this point, just asking.

Hello!!
I have done all the required steps and I select Androind from bootmenu then it tries to boot but the only thing i can see in the screen is the word "Android" for a long time and nothing else happened.
Any ideas???

EDIT: whoops, nothing to see here, I was posting about the keyboard lights side effect of using R&D mode. My bad!

This topic does more buzz and useful buzz for what they are doing for MeeGo. Those guys at top should make a rapid change in their investments to Android since there is a working and fast living prototype here.

By the way, is it easy to switch back to single boot again after turning the dual boot mode on? Can the boot loader boots into Maemo 5 as default or like in 3-5 seconds if things go wrong?

Thanks for the great work again. I am not sure how to describe this device any longer. Is it a Maemo or Debian, or MeeGo or Android device

I'm guessing you have failed somewhere.
Use the newest Rootfs (0.0.3.1 on Pg84) and use all instructions on pg 30 and make sure you extract directly to SD card.

OK - here is a tiny tutorial for those of you who want to stay in RD mode but stop the keyboard flashing!

Crack open xTerm:

Code:

root
cd ..

cd etc

nano pmconfig

Change "sleep_ind 1" to "sleep_ind 0".

You do not need to use nano, I just like it's simplicity.
sleep_ind 1 is generally the last line of pmconfig.

Then reboot.
The keyboard may flash on the sides during bootup, this is fine.

Twitchers!

Enjoy... Stay in RD mode and enjoy Android.
Thanks so much DJ_Steve and e-yes!

Up above the two sudo commands I needed to unmount N900 from my Fedora 12. I inserted microSD in it and followed your steps. Otherwise I was seeing part sdc1 was already mounted error. Unplugging and plugging back the cable solve the issue.

By the way you start with fdisk /dev/sdb with microSD inserted on N900 I was almost using my N900 memory

dmesg list sdc as being the microSD. Care must be taken during this operation

Code:

flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset,no-ext-wd -f -k *type loaction if zImage kernel downloaded here* -R <press return>

The following must signify a successful flash operation.

Code:

[root@ccn maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2]# ./flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset,no-ext-wd -f -k ../zImage-0.0.3 -Rflasher v2.5.2 (Oct 21 2009)

Indeed I was able to boot in Android. For some reason I couldn't get WiFi working, plus the second boot was kind of unsuccessful. Neither the very recent third boot. They didn't bring any app to the desktop. And the OS doesn't respond any of the taps. Peff it was working at the first one.
