Im courious, does this version support dual-boot? And if so, what is the correct content of the android.item file please? The one on nitdroid.com?

EDIT: And I need to use the original kernel file, used in the guide on page 30?

FINAL EDIT:you have to take the kernel from page 30 and the newest rootfs. then follow the instructions on page 30

there is no dual boot option in this kernel so no reason to mess with android.item

edit #3: steve is it normal that console pops up from time to time, flooding the screen with unreadable text?

In the latest video it looks like android runs very well on N900 hardware.

I look forwarding to seeing it in portrait mode as well once the accelerometer is working.

The progress with wifi and the dual-boot kernel is promising. Have you tested dual-boot yet dj-steve?

Great work from all involved!

This problem is happening to me too. BTW the boot takes about 3 times longer then on the presented video, weird ...

on my device it boots very fast just like in the video don't know what is wrong with yours

i also noticed that the weird pop ups start when you try to use the dialerpad, no wonder with no phone drivers

if you install nitdroid now? can i choose without a dualboot if i want to start maemo or android? because if i install nitdroid i cannot make calls or text messages so can easily start up maemo?

first boot time takes ages due to way android does whats called dexopt one system libs on first boot. after that its faster. ual boot is still tempremental hence not recommended.. the random lines of text are when device tries to go to sleep which im not sure it does yet
