Okay, now, just for fun I have made you a special version of ubiboot that has bootup for 2 Nitdroid entries and a Harmattan entry.
Before installing this, fix your system so that your 2 Nitdroid installations are as follows:
Nitdroid alpha 4 is installed in directory /home/nitdroid4
Nitdroid alpha 5 is installed in directory /home/nitdroid5
Then, unpack the file http://www.swagman.org/juice/ubiboot...oubledroid.tar. (md5sum = 1ac546b186a7f6d2bdebd6b950eae5b6)
It contains 2 files, the ubiboot kernel and a tar file containing the configuration, CPIO, kernels and preinits.
1. Copy the file doubledroid.tar to your device, and unpack it (as root) with command "tar -xvf doubledroid.tar -C /".
2. flash the kernel zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_091113 to your device.
3. Enjoy.
flasher -F main.bin and then flash the openmode? Or do I need to do a complete reset for just Nitdroid?
Also,
What is the purpose of having two versions of nitdroid? Isn't alpha 5 much faster than 4 (Although both are sluggish)?

The thing is, there are different kinds of Open Modes
If you enter open mode accidentally/unprepared, there is just a load of problems you might encounter, and you need to apply a number of fixes.
If you do it the recommended way, you just get to the same point but with less tweaking needed.

- 1.) The first thing to do, when still in Closed Mode, is to remove the "big scary warning" (the operation has to be done before entering Open Mode, as otherwice you cannot do it any more as Open Mode locks your CAL partition).
Also remember to save your certificates (located under /etc/ssl/certs/) as those will be erased when you change mode. - 2.) the second thing to do is to flash an Open Mode kernel, preferably one that has Aegis functionality stubbed out for root. (for example my L2-fixed kernel, or the e-yes Nitdroid kernel, or whatever...)
- 3.) After you boot with that, you need to clear out your aegis directories under your home dir (otherwice your device will keep nagging about your passwords every time after you boot it)
- 4.) You might also want to add other fixes, for example my libapplauncherd.so fix which prevents your device to close open applications when you install new apps.

BTW how do you like my Nitdroid icons?
As I said, it was (almost) more difficult to make nice icons for it than making the modification to boot 2 different Nitdroid versions
