    I have a N800 here. I can say that the boot is nice, not so slow as reported (for me, at least), but also I have random crashes. Calendar doesn't work. I didn't test sound. Can detect wifi networks but when I try to connect in my wpa2, it doesn't connect (I don't know why) also, I see a huge load of packets trough my AP.

    The wpa2 I think is an android issue. I'm not sure android supports wpa2

    it appears that nitdroid.com is down...
    I tried it and here are my results:

    1st try: all went well 4GB SD, could not connect to wifi (not even without encryption), scanned fine, but when tried to add a new wifi connection, UI crashed back to the settings menu.
    partitions:
    100MB vfat
    256MB swap
    half the rest ext3
    rest ext3

    2nd try: boots ok - forgot to remove the rootfs tarball from the root of the 3rd partition - now connects to wifi (even to WPA2!). I guess I had to wait the first boot completely or else it fails to initialize stuff. First time I believe I rebooted it because I thought it had failed.

    by the way, if I try to do
    Code:
    tar xjvvpf rootfs-nitdroid-0.5.0.tar.bz2 /mnt
    it fails with
    Code:
    tar: /mnt: Not found in archive
    tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
    using archlinux x86_64

    yea my host was doing dns matenance today. all the mirrors and torrent are back up now or should be , . oops about the tar command,

    should be
    Code:
    tar xjvvpf /path/to/rootfs.tar.bz2
    and run from the root of the sd card (/mnt on my pc)

    and yes android does whats called 'DexOpt' on first boot (hence why it takes forever) where it optimizes the java binarys for device or something similar.

    EDIT: id be more than willing to take requests for features while i work on the sound issue we have currently (anyone know if gstreamer is an app or a subsystem that plays audio

    what do u mean by requests Has there been any progress in getting the mic and webcam to function. Also is there ever going to be a way to dual boot maemo and android? I'm sure once things are stable it won't be needed but it would still be nice to have the option

    The biggies for me are...

    0. Stability - the sleep bug needs resolving - it's a real bugger to put the thing down for 5 to go to the loo, or get a beer, you come back and the damn thing has gone to sleep!!
    1.Email
    2.Calendar (including Google sync if poss.)
    3. Sound and Video - for video podcasts such as the Phones show, cos they look a little pokey on my Nokia 5230.

    Otherwise, it all seems to be pretty sorted now, apart from a bit of polish. I particularly like the twitter and music player applets for the home screen - wanted summat like that for maemo for ages.

    yes the sleep issue bugs the heck outta me top, doesnt seem to effect it if device is connected to charger though?

    im busy compiling a 'modified' android build which has GStreamer integrated instead ofthe standard android opencore multimedia framework, sand gstreamer has a plugin for the dsp chip by defualt. im hoping i may be able to persuade android to pipe its output thrrough gstreamer and therefore get sound

    I find that with a charge plugged in, it reboots, rather than just shutting down.

    the rootfs on here is for the n800/n810 if you look in the previous nitdroid thread bdogg64 posted up a basic rootfs and kernel for n900, i would appreciate someone trying that on a 900 and getting me adb logcat and dmesg output from it so i can see what the status of that kernel and rootfs is so far

    edit also im in the irc channel now and will be most of evening. channel is #nitdroid on freenode
