at least that's what its purpose was for me when i still had it.
i'm waiting for the ICS update before trying it out again.
Ironically,our N900 was the first phone to have ICS (or atleast one of the first,if I remember correctly),and sadly we may be the last people be able to fully enjoy it to the fullest!!
Surprisingly the 3D gaming performance on android is pretty good (I enjoy playing Moder Combat 2),wish it only had multitouch too

Hello everyone, thanks for making this posible for the n900

Right now im trying to install it via the autoinstaller but im getting stucked on Formatting /dev/mmcblk1p2 (ext3) ...

I checked the autoinstaller log and im getting

*** Formatting /dev/mmcblk1p2 (ext3)
--- RUN [mkfs.ext3 -m0 -L NITDroid /dev/mmcblk1p2]
mke2fs 1.41.3.maemo0 (12-Oct-2008)
/dev/mmcblk1p2 is not a block special device.
Proceed anyway? (y,n)

can someone help me please? what should i do?

Thanks a lot

Your Guide is good but there are some errors and assumptions made in it.

So if i may edit it, this is how it would follow:

Installing Nitdroid N12 UMay manually *Easy/Super Newb Friendly*
This guide assumes that eMMC is not partitioned
This guide assumes that you will be using nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb
This guide assumes that you have extras, extras testing and extras devel repos added and updated.
This guide assumes that you have no mmc card inserted
This guide also assumes that you have some form of root access (rootsh,sudser, etc)

1.Download N12-UMay and the kernel and copy them onto the eMMC (internal memory).
N12:http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/N12_UMay.tar.bz2
Kernel:http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/...nal1_armel.deb

2. To make it easier, rename 'N12_UMay.tar.bz2' to 'n12.tar.bz2' and 'nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb' to 'nitdroid.deb'
And then disconnect N900 from computer.

3.Install all the repos on to HAM (Application Manager)
http://www.nokiadistrict.com/reposit...or-nokia-n900/
This is the easiest method of enabling repos on the n900, browse the site on your phone, and press each of the Click here links to auto install the repo.

4.Open HAM (application manager) and then go to Download ->All-> then search root and choose rootsh -> install it -> close HAM

5.Open Terminal and write as follows
sudo gainroot
apt-get -f update
apt-get install leafpad bzip2 multiboot-kernel-maemo
cd ..
mkdir /and
mount /home /and *NOTE* its is 'mount<space>/home<space>/and' Some people get it wrong.
cd /and
bzip2 -d /home/user/MyDocs/n12.tar.bz2
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/n12.tar
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid.deb
leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11-NITDroid-mmcblk0p2-2.6.28.NIT.06.item

6. When leafpad opens, change
ITEM_DEVICE=${INT_CARD}p2
to
ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p2
*important* Then SAVE before closing, people who complain about the guru meditation error often forget to save before closing =="

7. Reboot with keyboard out and choose option 2 (nitdroid)
8. Wait for it to boot
9. Enjoy

@sanjeev.a.rangaswamy
i think you need to clarify what kernel you want to use, and fix the leafpad edit command accordingly, because when cr.shaggy said leafpad was openning a blank page, it was because your command line is incorrect, you have 'leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11-NITDroid-mmcblk0p2-2.6.28.NIT.item' it should be 'leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11-NITDroid-mmcblk0p2-2.6.28.NIT.06.item'
its a little error, but it makes a world of a difference.
and another thing at the start you link to the 'rc7' kernel but it links to the 'final_armel' kernel, then later you later say to dpkg the 'rc7' kernel, even though you have linked the other.

fix this and your guide is fool proof, and let them know that this makes a standard 2gb fs

@xeondead, ive learnt from my mistakes (n900 flashed 15 times in one day, both fiasco and rootfs) resulting in a dead phone, im only trying to help stop unknowing people from killing their phones, then having a cry about it. i no longer have a n900, wish i did, but i hope that some one can lend me a n950, so i can finish my uni project :'(
