The procedure of installing Nitdroid 0.0.8:
1. enable all repos (testing,devel,extras,even the default nokia ones) download and install leafpad and o'course ur beloved rootsh from appman.
2. close appman, open xterm:
root
apt-get update
apt-get install nitdroid-installer
y
y again if it asks again.
3. after the nitdroid-installer installs close Xterm, then install the attached installer, just copy it to ur N900 and open it via appman (for no formatting ext3 stuck hiccup) btw it will recognize it as a small update for ur installer that u just downloaded and installed at the second step.
4. open xterm
root
nitdroid
YES
5. after Nitdroid installs (took me 20 mins in 70 kb/s download speed) don't reboot ur phone to nitdroid, be patient!
6. tap the drop down menu in Xterm click new and close the one before (the one that said Nitdroid was successfully installed)
If you don't have a microsd:
Important: It's for overclocked phones, if you dont have kernel-power installed then wait someone make this for stock kernels. Download these files
http://downloads.nitdroid.com/nitinstaller/Packages/nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb
http://downloads.nitdroid.com/nitinstaller/Packages/NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar.bz2
1. Copy downloaded files to MyDocs.
2. Open x-term and do this:
sudo gainroot
mkdir /and
mount /home /and
apt-get install multiboot multiboot-kernel-power bzip2
cd /home/user/MyDocs
bzip2 -d NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar.bz2 cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb umount /and
3. Make the multiboot .item.
The procedure of running Nitdroid 0.0.8 on your EMMC:
1. Open xterminal root
a) mount the partition
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
b) Copy android system files over to /home
cp -rp /and/* /home
c) edit the boot file
leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11 (then tap the tab button, ur .item file will show hit enter to open in leafpad)
edit ur .item file to look like this
ITEM_NAME="NITdroid on MMCp2 - 2.6.28.NIT.05"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.NIT.05
ITEM_MODULES=ext3 fat vfat
ITEM_DEVICE=${[B]INT[/B]_CARD}p2
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,commit=3
EOF
OR
If you followed the manual installation guide with and u don't have a microsd:
change the .item file to:
ITEM_NAME="NITdroid on MMCp2 - 2.6.28.NIT.05"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.NIT.05
ITEM_MODULES=ext3 fat vfat
ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p5
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,commit=3
EOF
2. Once editing is complete click the drop down menu on leafpad and save then close leafpad.
3. Close Xterm, then reboot ur N900 with keyboard open and type 2 for Nitdroid you'll notice that booting will take less time, and if u want u can remove ur back cover and ur microsd to check. BUT u can't boot without something in the microsd slot, any microsd will work even empty ones.
Frequent errors
Guru Meditation:
If u have NITDroid that ends in .06 and facing this error, delete the words highlighted in BOLD from your multiboot file:
Root filesystem mmcblk0p5 NOT available! Guru Meditation #000000025.62017712
Hit any key to panic!
ITEM_NAME="NITdroid on MMCp2 - 2.6.28.NIT.05"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.NIT.05
ITEM_MODULES=ext3 fat vfat
ITEM_DEVICE=${INT_CARD}p2
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,commit=3
EOF
If you didn't find maemo in multiboot:
Type 0 to boot stock kernel.
== Some things you'll notice after installing it on the internal memory:==
1. Runs 10 times faster, even faster than a class 8 card.
2. The battery doesn't drain fast. Had it off charger all day playing games and surfing the internet and got it to only use 40% of the battery.
3. Pretty good given now you can use it without it draining the battery!
== FIXES ==
APP Market Fix:
Open the 'Market' app (from the Home screen or app launcher)
Leaving the Market app running, return to the Home screen and open the 'Settings' app again
Within Settings select 'Applications' > 'Manage applictions' > 'Running' (from Tab at top)
Scroll to select the 'Market' app > press the 'Clear Cache' button > then press the 'Force Stop' button (Do not press the 'Clear Data' button)
Press the back button (to go back to the list of running apps)
Scroll to select 'Google Services Framework' > press the 'Clear Data' button > 'OK' (to confirm) > then press the 'Force Stop' button
Return to the Home screen
Launch the 'Market' app again, which will give an error "Attention an error has occurred..." > 'OK' button
Shutdown by holding power button > 'Power Off' > 'OK'
Restart, wait for wi-fi to reconnect, open 'Market' again (You may have to reboot several times and check 'Market')
The opening 'Market' screen should no longer be blank, and many more apps (free & paid) should now be available
(Although apps can be downloaded, some may still fail to install or run properly)
WIFI Fix:(rare cases)
Change the encryption from WPA2 to WPA from your Wireless Access Point. This is a compatibility issue hopefully gonna be fixed in later releases.
Airplane Mode Fix:
For ppl who enabled airplane mode, fixes that are in here were tried by me:
1. enable the widget power control and turn airplane mode off
2. if this didn't work disable ur pin code in maemo
3. menu>devtools>terminal emulator
su
rr
4. the technical solution:
cd /and/data
rm -rf *
mkdir logs
chmod 777 logs
cd /
umount /and
Google account sign-in:
Skip google sign-up in the first tutorial instead, sign up/in google once in NITDroid.
Overclocking
1. You can download ready GUI's from the market for OCing
2. Or use one of these profiles:

Custom EMMC's
Just in case you fear to run outta memory, here are custom EMMC's if you want to reflash with:
5GB apps 24GB mydocs: http://www.mediafire.com/?j6srnaxwr3notaf
and
8GB apps 21GB mydocs: http://www.mediafire.com/?5o1hkuuwhn8hh1c[/url]
Uninstalling Nitdroid:
Open Xterminal:
root
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and -o noatime
nitdroid-uninstaller
after it completes, simply format your sd card, then using filebox delete nitdroid's installation folders and files that were copied to home: bin, data, dev, etc (symlink), initrd, lib (symlink), mnt, proc, sbin, sdcard, sys, system, tmp, usr,default.prop, init, init.nokia.rc, init.rc
