I already tried to test the Nitdroid in my Nokia N900 and the performance was very good but the stability was so much poor. The software was totally instable and i removed it from my memory card.

I don't need that the Android can do phone calls or receive SMS. Using the Android, i can use it only to run a "must have" software that can't be replaced for something like in Maemo.

Well, if think that, if the Nitdroid be stable enough to run 30 minutes without any error, i will install again to test. I hope that this be possible.

I saw so much videos from Youtube, the users showing the Android running correctly and i want this too for me.

The Nitdroid Froyo is the most stable version to do this new test?

Nitdroid Umay is pretty stable. sms sending also works. mainly i use it for playing games and to use some good apps. try it. its stable.

i was using the N12 Umay in my N900 and the stability was not so good... An old memory card can do performance and stability issues? i was using a class 4 MicroSD card from kingston.
i think too that Nitdroid was not realiable enough to be used.

I would like to find the version that offers the better stability and if i could use the Nitdroid for more than five minutes without an error, i will install again this system.

... Not so good? That's an understatement. It runs like s**t with constant reboots, or if it doesn't do that, it will close application x or y or whatever. For me, the only reason to install it, is to be able to help out when droid friends have trouble with their devices. But N12 Umay is not that much of a help. Quite the opposite; it's frustrating. Ah well...

see either install it on EMMC or get a class 8 card, everything else runs it ****. i can use it fine on a daily basis because i dont use calls i just text so it works out for me but apart from calls, gps and camera, infrared everything else works fine i think. but personally i did it as a trial run of android i just hate the multitasking lol for me it runs smooth

WTH you guys talkin' about?
NITDroid N12 runs as smooth as Maemo, and this is not an exaggeration. Just be sure to have at in your internal memory and install the latest kernel. (A new kernel update released RC7)

its stable. If you use class10 for nitdroid the error you have will almost gone (you got not responding because of slow sd). also enable swap to remove ram full error.

@ammyt

I used the nitdroid-installer on a dedicated, spare N900 with a clean Maemo5 install, using the internal memory. Reboots, unexpected crashes, sometimes an inability to reboot to regular Maemo kernel, etc.

Same result when done by hand, regardless of whether I used the manifest script that was provided on TMO somewhere.

Lovely as I find the achievements of the nitdroid team, from my subjective POV, it's certainly not stable.

I'm sure you have used the old installer. Just reflash your phone (FIASCO + 8GB eMMC) then get the installer from http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=66459 and just let it flow.

is the battery still heating up fast on nitdroid? i think the issue that it always uses 100% of the processor shorten my phone's battery life because the heat when using nitdroid...

@ammyt

Willing to try a new version, of course!
I don't care much for phoning or texting, but would like to be able to get to know the Android OS better than I do now...

With or without KernelPower and if so, what version? For the rest, installment on top of a clean PR1.3 flash?

What will happen if someone calls you while booted in nitdroid? i think i read that it answers but they cannot hear you or vise versa, will it be logged in phone when i boot back to maemo? so i dont miss any calls? cheers

If i enable the swap to be used in Nitdroid, the performance and stability will be better?
