Where does the "NIT" in front of droid come from?
Never understood the origin of the name...

NIT = Nokia Internet Tablet, it's a name from old good times...

Hey E-yes,

I have been working on this also (originally a dedexer, and a few other approaches). I already have a patch for android diff linux kernel 2.6.39.4, along with tar's of the /system, /data and /dev's for ICS extracted out. I can also provide you with remote access (via VNC,SSH,proto of your choice) to a box running an either a Xeon W3550 or core-i7 2600K, Sandforce-2141 harddisk, etc. which can save a LOT of time with the compiles... PM me

Oh and init-calls can definitely 'boot' into an OS after startup without rebooting if openmode kernel is run for Harmattan.

BTW, I like the name NITDroid9, just like Cyanogenmod9

Can this bring to full Nitdroid gps support for N900?

EDIT: In other words, do the N9 GPS chip has the same Nitdroid driver development problem of N900?

What's this? Does it work on n900? If no, why do you think it would work on n9?

Did you compile kernel? Doest it work? Is adb/usb functional?
Getting android stuff into Harmattan kernel is not big problem, but making things to work is really harder task.

Binaries? No, thanks

I'm using AOSP sources, 4.0.3_r1 (see https://gitorious.org/android-n900/n...cs/default.xml )

Not a problem for me. i7 4core/8threads, 8Gb RAM. Whole AOSP compiles in less than hour.

I afraid I don't understand this sentence...
In theory, it's possible to boot android shortly after start of Harmattan init (/sbin/preinit) if user pressed some button (VolUp for instance). Or what did you mean?

The NOKIA N9 share the same GPS chip as the Samsung Captivate, and that is basically the Captivate driver with a little modification.

No, fortunately

And they have completely different GPS hardware (Broadcom BCM4751 vs. NL5350)
