About the keyboard - Solca, there are three patches with overall 5 files and it compiles without a problem, however i discovered that i compiled the normal userspace. How one can include your vendor directory in the compilation?
By the way, the WebKit included in the Android is from February...

Sorry, I couldn't check this and I'm off bed now.
For compiling NITdroid you need (from memory):
$ cd <android_src_dir>
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ choosecombo
<select device>
<select release>
<select nit>
$ m
m is the alias for make, if you have more cores you can enable parallel compiling with something like 'm -j5' (j5 to fill a quad core).
noob friendly, as in no command line? Ok, because solca has better things to do (like fix the time), I'll do it on the weekend.
But, this is it in a nutshell.
You need:
Linux with gparted plus whatever it wants you to install.
Tablet running Maemo.
Free space on your memory card
First, plug in the tablet. The internel card should pop up as a drive.
Next, open gparted
Then, unmount drive.
Then, shrink the FAT32 partition, create a "unallocated" partition, then create a ext3 partition. so (fat,unallocated,ext3)
Then, copy the tar.bz2 file into the ext3 section
Open a terminal, and "change directory" into the card. Usually "cd /media/disk/"
type "sudo tar -xjvpf rootfs_nitdroid.tar.bz2"
Then, off the tablet and pull the charging cord from the tablet.
Hold down the home and switch buttons, and plug in the charger.
The tablet is now in USB update mode.
Download flasher-3.0
make sure the kernel image is in the same directory as the flasher.
Open terminal, and go to where the flasher is.
type "sudo ./flasher -f -k zImage-nitdroid-n8x0 -R" or "sudo ./flasher-3.0 -f -k zImage-nitdroid-n8x0 -R"
Nothing special. I used a card reader to partion a 1 GB SD card (/dev/sdc in my case) with cfdisk on Ubuntu Linux, like this:
1. FAT32 - 512 MB
2. Linux - 256 MB
3. Linux - 256 MB
Then I formatted partition 1 with
Code:
mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1
and partition 3 with
Code:
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc3
Then I pulled out the SD card and put it in the card reader again. The two formatted partitions where mounted automatically. I became root and changed directory to the third partiton. There I extracted the rootfs. Next I unmounted the partitions and put the SD card back into my N800 (internal slot next to the battery).
I connected the switched off N800 with the USB cable to the computer and started the flasher as root:
