following diablo flashing, and restore of settings, the application manager fails to update as all the repositories are trying to point to 128.0.0.1:8118. I used to have a proxy adblocker installed (which pointed to this IP/port), but the connection settings have this firmly turned off. So my guess is that the app mgr is holding this proxy data somewhere. Anyone got an idea where this may be?
Whoops - you post in despair then find a fix 30s after. My problem below was fixed by just deleting the maemo extras dev repository. Hopefully the answer may help someone else.

Ok....this is VAGUELY related....I have re-flashed and everything is going good.
AGPS doesn't seem to give me a faster fix....in fact I have NEVER had a fix with the internal...I use an external Globaltop G66 and it's freakin awesome so i'm not really bothered.
Anyway...I notice that when I did the whole penguin-jiggidy-jiggidy-dual-boot-from-external thing that when I booted sometimes a bloke would talk to me from my N810 saying something like:
"Hello, this is Liam Scromscrod, and I pronounce Linux as...Linux"
...really quiet-like and not very well recorded.
I figure SOMEBODY must be able to tell me who/what the hell that was? I figure it was a "signature" from the software writer of the external-boot thingy.
My Fiance want's to know as she thinks it's pretty weird....so did I.
Maybe it was already mentioned (will read this thread later) but initfs is now bigger (4MB) so no need to remove extra stuff and more possibilities in future and also dual booting with previous firmware works.
This is just quick update, there is still no full support for framebuffer console. There are two new optional bootmenu.conf options MENU_X_FBMODE (auto,manual) and MENU_X_USBMODE (host,peripheral,otg) but so far they are not much useful. Both are meant primarily for emergency framebuffer recovery console (with usb keyboard in case of N800/770) but it is not finished yet.
Weird about agps, I saw it when I first flashed, now I no longer see it in Installed or Installable apps.
But my GPS seems a lot faster; it's a Holus GPSlim 240 on my N800. I got good reception from my bed, where I usually can't get a fix.
Other than that and a certain overall smoother feeling, I haven't noticed much change. I would have thought that Nokia could have energized the free development system by bundling Personal Menu and the large statusbar clock with the system; they are big improvements on what the tablet comes with by default. And screen rotation. It would be a secret sign that Nokia actually appreciates the volunteer contributions made.
