That worked. Thanks.

solca, how can we help out in development. I tried back when the Android source first came out but had absolutely no luck getting the latest kernel to boot on the N810. I would be interested in learning how you went about it.

.../etc/resolv.conf
setprop net.dns1, net.wlan0.dns1, ...
none of them seem to work for me ;-(
adding entries to /system/etc/hosts work as expected

just some suggestions:
maybe it would be possible to get gps running with the mini gpsd driver. but then we still don't have a map program like google maps...
it would be nice to be able to remap the keyboard layout. like mapping the android home button to the maemo switch/home button.. also it would be possible to change the layout to a different language.
without the android home button, multitasking is not possible.

since android is open source, it is possible to port the android browser to the maemo platform? that would be awesome!
and by the way: i like the name "andronit" also more than "NITdroid"

but at all it's really great and i can't thank you much enough, solca!

dns: setprop net.dns1 ... indeed works
(after a full reflash..., prob. must have had some stale entries)

solca: are you already working on startup/shutdown, power management?
/nit/bin/busybox poweroff -f -n does the trick for shutdown, any better solution?

I tried the ADB today, and it didn't show my NIT on the list prompted by "adb devices"

Is it possible to use Fanoush' bootmenu to boot either Nitdroid or Maemo?

No fanoush bootmenu wont work because solcas kernel does not use initfs at all (correct me, if wrong). But solca is working on a new kind of graphical bootselector. http://guug.org/nit/nitselector/

Solca, could you maybe concentrate on the bootmenu more?
It would really help. It's not very fun to always have to flash the kernel to get Android running and back to Maemo.

Regarding the "Map" application.

It seems as if some guys from OpenMoko managed to rip it from the emulator. I tried to do the same, but probably messed up something.

THE FOLLOWING IS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY:

You need two files:

/system/app/Map.apk
/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar

Using ADB, simply "pull" them from the emulator, then "push" them to the tablet.

Please tell me if it works for you...

Ok, so this is why it does not work. It need the MapView API.

http://code.google.com/android/toolbox/apis/mapkey.html

Solca, it looks like you have to register with them so you can distribute it. I will see if I can rip it from the emulator though, for a temporary workaround.

Also, it looks like some guys are trying to make as OpenStreet version of MapView API, so we can overcome this obstacle.

Edit: Never mind, it won't be that easy. The OpenStreet program I linked to later does work though...
