Already we have spoken other times of the NITDroid project, a project that pretence to carry the operating system Android to our Nokia N900. Although still not stable, and can make calls, Internet browsing, etc. NITDroid project is very close to that we can choose an operating system for our N900, along with Maemo and Meego.
NITDroid is available in the Extras-Devel repository. To learn more about repositories, click here.

if i install it,can i uninstall it when i want to? what about my data like videos,photos,contacts,notes,apps? how to get back on my original maemo OS? will my old apps be there when i got back with maemo?
great ill try it now
the app is not in thw app manager
its messing with phone memory or the microSD card?
i have tried to install nitdroid, but i’ve waited over an hour when it said it was formatting. Nothing has happend. Do i need to wait even longer or do i do something wrong?
Kind regards,
Dominique
is not in the Extras-Devel repository, did you removed it?
@arch_
It messes with microSD. The only change made to the phone memory is the installation of a boot loader so you can choose between NITDroid and Maemo at phone start up.
@dominique
I had a similar problem where that step was taking forever and nothing was happening. It’s supposed to take all of 15 seconds at most and I kept trying the install until it finally worked. Either that or try the manual install method here: http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900-install
It is not in Extras-devel, when i do apt-get in x-terminal, it says package not found. I cannot see it thru application manager either.
FOR PPL WHO CANT INSTALL NITDROID:
Just enable all repos and then open x-terminal and
type ‘root’ press enter.
type ‘apt-get install nitdroid-installer’ and u r good to go!!! Enjoy
thanks for the answer. ill try it
do i need a memory card 2 install dis?
wht should be the minimum size of MMC?
plz reply
@maxen
Yes you need a memory card to install this. The size of the Android partition has to be 2 GB so if you use any SD card larger than 2 GB it will be split into 2 partitions. One will be 2 GB where nitdroid will be installed and the other will be the remaining space for regular storage.

@tmod

nd which storage android will use for fotos,videos,mp3 songs na for other apps?
dat 32GB of fone memory 0r the memory card which we used for installing android?
Does this mean it will run android apps as well? or does it just emulate the android appearance?
Cheers

Is there any way to install this without a memory card?
Are there issues in making phone calls or has that been resolved. I cant get any signal whatsoever
saurabh I asked a similar question but nobody answered.from what I have read I think it will automatically update from the repo’s when a newer version comes out.when its out I’m not sure but I presume it will be soon if there is a video of it making calls.
I reinstalled it again, now im getting the network and it also makes the call but both parties can only hear static sounds
