You'll probably have to rewrite your sd card anyway, when I tried uninstalling hildon-desktop, it removed that package and nothing else. On restart (I had changed the uxlaunch line back to mcompositor) it launches into the dialler app which keeps restarting when you close it and it wasn't possible to ssh in.
How exactly do I ssh into the device if I cannot see anything apart from black background and a purple square??

He probably means ssh'ing from your desktop computer after having n900 hooked up on your network via wifi.

You should get the apps menu by pressing this purple square.

Do you have an N900 to attempt your builds on?
I do still have N900, but I'm using it to make calls, not for development.

Ah right.
I used ssh to install it, so having had the Wifi setup already , it automatically reconnected having remembered the key. My router sometimes assigns a new IP address when I reboot - so eg, instead of 192.168.1.61 on reboot it gets assigned 192.168.1.62.

I've had that issue where you only get the purple button a couple of times, and I've also had it working quite a few times. Unfortunately - maybe because there is no theme installed - there is no shortcut for xterm with this UI, so ssh is a must if you want to play around.

Oh right.

Cordia's menu uses standard FreeDesktop applications directory (just like any other desktop).
Maemo uses applications/hildon subdirectory. This may be an issue. Although it should fetch .desktop files from subdirectories, I haven't tested it.

Please do not trash the thread with pointless arguments.

I started a wiki page for Cordia with the basics, will add to it later.

http://wiki.maemo.org/Cordia

You can add the N900 install instructions there or in a linking wiki page.
