I just dug mine back out. The reason I didn't use it much was because it was hard knowing what distros would equate to something I might use in Android. I would like to be able to switch this over to Android to make it more usuable.

Great little phone and keyboard.

Thanks,
Bob

It is a shame to use the N900 to generate a paperweight it has more value than that.
I suggest get a stone and write android on it.

Everybody can do what they like to do but I guess you are not using Android on N900 or? I think this will be waste of time. So buying a new phone which is capable for newer versions of Android is recommended.

What is a DHT recharge, I have never needed to do that so no need for android.

yuk. android on n900 is an insult to our beloved beast. i would never do that. its like someone giving a lemon to an infant and when he feels that on his taste buds, wtf. i used my n900 for years and i am just like many of you here Halftux, open-source and Linux loving, no facebook whatsapp kind of a guy. smart to be precise.
and sorry to say i am using unrooted redmi note 8 because it was gift to me from my younger brother. i am always worried about my security when i am around Android devices.
i started using n900 because some days ago my android was connected to office wifi and i was in toilet taking a leak, suddenly i sang a song, then after that i opened YouTube and the first video on YouTube was the song i singing. i am sharing too much detail right, sorry once again.

If your N900 felt too slow, have you tried these:

1. Install CSSU-thumb

2. Overclock kernel to limits 250 900

3. Move swap to fast sdcard and make it bigger

4. Disable watchdog

5. Install swappolube and use proposed settings

6. Install ssu tuner and put transitions to zero

Should not be that slow anymore.

But even with these it is slower than new phones which open web pages straight and can do hard processing stuff fast. But what can you do, really? N900 is the best device ever made. To give up with N900 is also a compromise as is using N900. This is my main phone but I use some other devices for things I can't do with N900. It is still my main phone.
