I think this is actually the same issue - they look yellow only because Estel is using map overlay, so the blue waiting tile gets mixed with the tile from the other layer, changing the tint of the color.

Anyway I think I found the underlying issue and plan to release an update with the fix in the next few days.

but that seems to be before the sqlite tiles init.

This has been there for ages and should be harmless. I need to finally track it down one day so it does not pollute the logs.

Once you've set up the base maybe I'll find some spare time for a commit or two. I don't promise anything, but you might let me know someday

The stuck downloading tiles seem to be gone indeed, alas replaced by failed downloads. This was observed while sitting down, n900 with good internet connection, dragging the map around a bit.

Not sure what's going on here... and it would be great to have a way to make it try the downloads again.

Modrana has caused N900 shutdowns for me, and this recent version caused the phone to stop responding (screen blank, device not responding to any input). I'll take the battery out now, I guess. I can hear a ringing tone on the line when I call it, though...(but the device doesn't ring itself)

UPDATE: had to remove the back cover, the device restarted itself then. There appears to be no damage to the SD card (my swap is there).
