yes your probably wondering why the sudden jump to a new major version. well that because

WE HAVE 3D GRAPHICS ACCELERATION

other updates and changelog follow:

--changelog--
Full 3d graphics accell active and running - 2d gfx in launcher etc seems to of heavily benefited from this also.
LIVE Wallpapers work now.
2.6.28.NIT.05 REQUIRED !!

known issues:
their is huge amounts of flicker in power off dialog - nothing major enough to be a problem.
first boot still takes ages but this is normal - you can easily tell if the powervr has kicked in as the matrix screen speeds up about 10 fold
some flickering is seen in other areas of the os also, nothing huge enough to prevent release though

Very nice work with NITDroid!!
I am quite amazed with what you have achieved, as I thought 2D/3D acceleration would be a no-go.
I hope phone/camera support is on the way, so it can be a real alternative to Maemo/Meego, not just for gaming.

I installed a previous version some months ago and everything worked as it was supposed to, but you had by then a custom kernel, which needed to be flashed and no power/overclocking support. So I decided to wait for some time.

But now I have been trying to install this latest version for two days without success.
I have downloaded the image from the different links and from different OSes, and I always get an error at the end.

I have tried with different partitioning schemes for the mmcblk1, but none of them worked, but maybe the problem is not related to the partitioning scheme. I also tried in the irc forums but nothing has been of help. I even reflashed the phone to a clean Maemo image a couple of times, but I can't get NITDroid to work, it never loads the matrix intro.

On the other hand, I think it is very weird this error extracting the tbz2 file, but it shouldn't be a stopper, as some other people have reported it to work. And it happens just at the end, so it can be unrelated with my problem.

Could you please confirm you don't get any error/warning at the end of the extraction? I got it from Maemo console, from ubuntu and now in Snow Leopard.

I'll try to install a previous version to see if I can make it work.

Good job, keep on going!!!

Help would be appreciated.

EDIT ADD: Oh silly me. Didn't know I had to have the keyboard out.

Another thing. Is anyone else having a HUGE dpi? I like it, but some graphics are messed up. Any way to change this?
