Excellent work

Would be really sweet if it would work out.

Thanks for the great effort everyone puts in to this amazing device to make it even sweeter!

Holy crap. NICE WORK. I can't wait to see a youtube video of it... even if it still crashes or doesn't properly register touches.

I would prefer to use the stock android source, but rowboat works for now.

You need to load a module for the touchscreen, think it's tsc2005.ko. You did read my post about how to charge under alternative OS'es?

Since im a total noob at this, what do we get when it will work ?
A image that we can use just like easy debian, or will it be more like a howto that tells us step by step what we need and have to change on the N900 ?
Since im into maemo for about 2 Month, i hope i will get more knowlege. Im starting to setup a sdk with vmware, but my head is still smoking

Yes, I read it, great work btw. I will definitely try to use that in the android init process. I haven't tried loading the touchscreen module, I only tried it with the touchscreen driver built into the kernel itself. Would that make a difference? I was hoping the touchscreen patch that was used on the n810 would work, but it didn't solve the problem.

I think if I could get the keyboard working for now would be more useful to me, but I have to build/find the correct keymap file and key layout file for the n900. The screen flashes when I use the keyboard, which I'm not sure whether its due to the keys not being mapped right or something else.

I will try to post a video soon showing how it works and doesn't

If possible, I would hope to build the android dependencies as modules you can install, and use bootmenu to load those modules and boot android. I'm thinking its going to be more towards flashing the kernel like nitdroid though.
