Yes to all except for the QBW widget.
Me,Eiraku & meLi all agreed QBW is too much pain to configure & creating .desktop aka menu/desktop shortcut is much easier.
The idea may started from me but without Eiraku & meLi I wouldn't have made it.
I only hit the jackpot when I tried meLi's busybox method.

Update on the OTG.Updated to h-e-n v0.2.8 this morning.Now FAT32 mounting working perfectly with the app itself.But in order to mount NTFS drives it'll be better to use my desktop shortcut method.
So far every NTFS drives I've thrown at my N900 have been detected & read properly.

If everything goes well & other experienced users agrees,I'll post the OTG guide tonight.
It may not work like OTG in N8 but it'll work fine & reliable.
My thought is this:Nokia should have give away plenty of N8 like they did with N900 during the Maemo Conference. With this way other average/power users can test the device & report back to Nokia about the problems.
Initial N900 has some issues such as filmsy microUSB port,unmatured OS etc2.But after all the feedbacks several problems was fixed with the production model.
This is not the time for Nokia to keep their product as secret.In order to show users that Nokia listen to them & the product is reliable,Nokia must let users test the product before heading to production line.

I found the 5-6% failure rate of N8(in LYN alone) as rather unacceptable compared to N900 which have around 2-3% failure rate(in LYN alone)
Not to mention there are more N900 users compared to N8.
*
3 months down the road....

N8 becomes cheaper... like RM1200 - RM1300 due to popular demand.

5-6% failure in those numbers are sure to attract some attention.

unless the more newer production models, a.k.a second batch quality is improved.

but nokia is known to relaunch some 'fixed' products as new products... we have witnessed that first hand more than once...

N900 is virtually un-promoted in Malaysia.

This is why I love *nix. so many way to do something lol.

Hey, talking about h-e-n, I plan to create a Totally Awesome Installer for it. Maybe I'll call it, you know, h-e-n-T-A-I.

Wait until you see it in the repos. While you're at it you can use FAPman to install h-e-n-T-A-I. Ha, ha.

Ugh, I have resorted to pre-writing my posts in leafpad to circumvent the Tear freezes. We need a new Diablo version that fixes this pronto!

i think random read/write figures are more important for NITdroid or any other OS.

but 22MB/s/17MB/s sequential read/write speed does make it a class 17 at least (because class 10 supposed to be 10MB/s sequential write minimum)

Yeah.I think so too.Still waiting for NITDroid v 0.0.9 release so I can test the theory.
I repeated the test few times with 3 program.Almost similar result.

I'm using my 8GB microSD.Just I got few pm asking me whether I want to bulk for 16GB version.If there is demand maybe I'll start another bulk.
*
the lag i experience in NITdroid 0.0.8 seems more like read i/o related lags, not raw processing speed (Mhz) related lags.

if i am not mistaken some old 2GB microsd cards without class ratings did have some excellent random r/w speed, but poor sequential speed.

this is the exact same thing microsoft is talking about, the micro sds that are compatible with their windows phone 7.

thats why they say class 10 microsd does not mean its compatible with windows phone 7.

what it needs is adequate random r/w speed and not just blazing fast sequential r/w speed.

and if you are flashing from a PC, its even faster...

the command posted above is for flashing from PC

if you can still boot into N900 you can even flash the kernel from xterm.

apt-get install --reinstall kernel kernel-flasher

something i found from some guy's comments in amazon

comparison between some Komputerbay brand class 6 and sandisk class 4.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B003ZTCBZ0

looks like the kingmax i bought still beats the others at sequential read and random read speeds as well.

its the random write speeds that i am worried about...

install a program named 'Leafpad' using AppManager/FAPman/apt-get first.

its a simple program that lets you edit text ala Notepad

open terminal xterm, type in these commands

sudo gainroot

cd /etc/systemui

leafpad systemui.xml


and edit the necessary lines.

change this part

< ! --
<menuitem priority="20" name="Reboot">
<return>6</return>
<po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po>
</menuitem>
<menuitem priority="10" name="Soft poweroff">


to look like this

<menuitem priority="20" name="Reboot">
<return>6</return>
<po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po>
</menuitem>
< ! --
<menuitem priority="10" name="Soft poweroff">



in other words, you are just deleting "< ! --" and typing it in a new place.

be wary, there is no space between < ! -- ,just that i cant type it here without space because the forum html thinks its bad command.

save & exit, reboot your N900.

yes but injection only works on power-kernel v40..it's because of the backported compat wireless driver..currently i'm still on power v40..still waiting for the uboot to get stable so that i could switch between v40(for neopwn) and v45/v46(or whatever v for maemo)..then i'll have usb hostmode + working neopwn..

but currently i choose neopwn (v40-kernel)..as i still don't have the female-2-female adapter..so, usb hostmode needs to wait..till i figure out how to load/switch kernel between v40 an v45

so... i guess u wanna setup like this...

1) standard maemo kernel
2) v40 kernel-power
3) v46 kernel-power
4) NITdroid

Cracking with N900 still needs a lot work.One of the reason is the packet injection still not working properly.You may succeed once but you won't guaranteed the same result if you test it another time.
Better wait for full version of neopwn.
*
one big question ?

passive capture will work.

injection will work soon.

but how many clients will it pick up ?

you need a powerful device with a sensitive antenna to pickup as many clients as possible.

i dont think N900 is the device with the sensitive antenna...

unless i can hook up my ALFA 1000mw... using h-e-n and female-female usb socket, and tape the adapter to the back of my N900.

provided they have ARM drivers for that chipset, monitoring mode capable drivers to be specific...

now that is going to be one fugly device to bring out.
