I reflashed the N9 to try this new image. The summary is: great work! Congrats to all involved :-) There are, nonetheless, a fair amount of polishment to be done. Following is a quick list for reference. * as discussed before, the system lags often and does not feel responsive * the graphical interface crashed a few times, mostly while trying to open the keyboard; eventually it worked * charging works but the battery indicator does not update * the system started without any ambience (black background) * after applying one ambience, the app screen still has a black background I have not yet tried to use the store or update the sw, and currently I do not have a sim card on the phone. This is hope of a new life for the N9. Well done!
