    After a little thinking, I deduced that staying on the old school command-driven installer would be better. Not because it is difficult or anything, but users shall understand that this is an under-development project.
    Thanks ammyt! So it is better for me now to wait for the nitdroid installer 0.2.8-9 to be released?

    Well, first repartition, then restore, then extract NITDroid, then get KP with multiboot and KP bootimg, then fayad's backupmeu patch.

    If that did not work, try to first repartition, then install KP and multiboot with KP bootimg, then backupmenu patch, and then proceed with extracting NITDroid and installing its kernel.
    ..the amount of time i spend on this!! *sigh!*

    Will report in again. I'm trying to clean up the phone now.

    Woohoo!

    I trashed maemo.. and installed NITDroid.. running smooth as hell!.. from dear Mr. Mmcblk0p5



    ..now back to the drawing board. Gotta reflash & restore Maemo, and then again proceed with the NITDroid reinstall.


    n.b. When i try to get into Maemo, it gets into a reboot-loop with a kernel panic msg about kernel not available.. Guru Meditation, yada yada..

    Spent most part of the day, yesterday installing Nitdroid by a variety of methods. Most of the installs were successful.

    Yes, it works. Is it stable? Hell no. It crashes. It freezes for no apparent reason. It kernel panics or just refuses to reboot eight out of ten times.

    I'd love a stable Android on my machine, without SMS, phone functions and the like. But this project is certainly not ready in the way it's being promoted.

    For me Nitdroid N12 is rock solid and fast enough. Installed in Class 10 SD, with 768 MB swap enabled on SD and dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m.

    Here is short guide for installing app via terminal in Nitdroid. as i have installed nitdroid today and my gprs connection doesn't work with nitdroid here is the guide for install any app via terminal.
    place your apk file in MyDocs.
    boot nitdroid then go to menu>dev tools>terminal emulator.

    rename your apk file to short and simple name.e.g i wanted to install astro file manager for i just renamed it to astro.apk after opening terminal type:

    su (it will request for super user permission grant it)
    cd /sdcard
    install astro.apk /system/app/astro.apk

    it will install your app quickly. it will not write anything in terminal. just check your menu.

    Good luck.

    the first five or so reboots of nitdroid was very unstable for me, i even tried to have it idle off overnight and the battery would just drain, but after installing apps to improve performance, SetCPU, ram optimiser, swap etc it IS STABLE
    I use it everyday, I have aDownloader running (torrent client) and have downloaded films and tv shows at 400kbs max while playing games no problem (I could never do that with Transmission in maemo)

    @anthonie, probably you have overclock unstability issues, you should clock it to something more reasonable with SetCPU, dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m is also a good stabilizer. If you cannot do any of these steps read on the past posts. If you cannot adecuatelly make it function and feel that this software is not for you uninstall and check later or try fixing it, your lack of optimizations does not mean this project is over-advertised

    EDIT: With reasonable I mean 700 or 800 rather than 1150MHz

    First I have to start by saying I have NEVER used nitdroid and am no Android expert (the whole "no X server" thing scared me away).

    I would try fixing it as follows (and I am assuming the problem is with the whole ICS rootfs rather than your particular installation):
    1) Copy the "su" binary from N12
    2) Copy the "sudoers.conf" (or whatever) from N12
    3) Replace those two files in your install, possibly applying the executable permissions to "su" (chmod 755 /bin/su OR WHATEVER)

    Ammyt, it would be great if you answered if the non-sudo problem is with ICS or with his install (i.e. can you do su ).

    I hope this is of some help to you, I tried

    Good luck and happy new years

    EDIT: Oh and install that superuser app thingie from the market, the one that asks you if you want to grant superuser priviledges

    Well no offense but if you ain't like it don't rant about it.
    What "methods" are you talking about? Interesting.

    Secondly, NITDroid runs as smooth as Maemo, if that's not the case with you than you have got a problem. "...refuses to reboot eight out of ten times." Waaaaw and how is that exactly?
    There is no way kernel panics can happen more than one time. It is a single shot, either boot it or not.
