Installing NITDroid 0.0.8 to EMMC
  Enable all repositories from App manager (Extras-testing, Extras-devel, Extras and the default Nokia)   Install Leafpad from the App manager and make sure that you have root access   Close App manager, open X Terminal and execute the following commands: root apt-get update apt-get install nitdroid-installer y y again if it asks again.   After the nitdroid-installer package is installed, close X Terminal   Install the attached installer. nitdroid-installer_0.2.7_armel.deb   Copy it to the N900 and open it via App manager (for no formatting ext3 stuck hiccup), it will recognize it as a small update for your installer that you downloaded and installed in the second step.   Or Copy it and run sudo dpkg -i nitdroid-installer_0.2.7_armel.deb   </li>  Open X Terminal, and execute the following commands: root nitdroid YES </li>  After NITDroid ends installation (20 minutes on 70 kb/s download speed) don't yet reboot your phone to NITDroid! Tap the drop down top menu in X Terminal and click new and close the one before (the one that said NITDroid was successfully installed) </li>

 If you don't have a microSD: <blockquote style="border: 1px dashed red; padding: 10px;">

Frequent errors
Guru Meditation:

If you have NITDroid that ends in .06 and you are facing this error, delete the words that are underlined 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 much faster, even faster than a class 8 card.
 * 2) The battery doesn't drain as fast as with microsd. 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!

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 &rarr; Manage applications &rarr; Running (from Tab at top)
 * Scroll to select the Market app &rarr; press the Clear Cache button &rarr; 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 &rarr; press the Clear Data button &rarr; OK (to confirm) &rarr; 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..." &rarr; OK button
 * Shutdown by holding power button &rarr; Power Off &rarr; 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 people who enabled airplane mode, fixes that are in here were tried by me:

  Enable the widget power control and turn airplane mode off </li> <li> If this didn't work disable pin code in maemo </li> <li> menu&rarr;devtools&rarr;terminal emulator su rr </li> <li> The technical solution: cd /and/data rm -rf * mkdir logs chmod 777 logs cd / umount /and </li> </ol>

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: http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=116.0

Custom EMMC's
Just in case you fear to run out of memory, here are custom EMMC's if you want to reflash with:

5GB apps 24GB mydocs: http://www.mediafire.com/?j6srnaxwr3notaf

Uninstalling Nitdroid
Open X Terminal and type the following commands:

root mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and -o noatime nitdroid-uninstaller

After it completes, simply format your microSD 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
