Haha...It's nice to see people think out of the box to solve the .apk instalation issue.
You did the correct thing.
To run .apk file from NITDroid copy the files to Android application folder.I prefer to put the .apk & run it from /data/app
Also I prefer using Root Explorer over Astro File Manager.Sometimes Superuser won't grant root access for Astro File Manager hence causing me some problem.

Thanks!

The reason I use Astro file manager is coz it's free and that I can actually download it straight off Android Market, the Root Explorer you told me is a paid app in Android market?
As you said, Astro file manager dont have root access, thus I cant move the apk files to those root folders and all... so.. this means I need to find another file manager with root access to move those apk files?

^There are bunch of application managers in android market.Just try them 1 by 1.
Else google for the Root Explorer

The multiboot image for the kernel power47 out already? i see 5 updates on my phone when i started using it again after a week.. lol

i think i wanna sell my n900. not fully utilize my n900. sigh~

pm me if anyone wanna buy it. thanks

Dont know?

The things is, I tried installing Aldiko & AngryBird .apk files, but both failed to install,
Then I tried installing Root Explorer .apk files, guess what? It works!

Apparently some .apk files just works and some don't?

Super Evil Alien, even with Root Explorer, I still cant copy or move .apk files to the root folder!
Weird... or is something wrong with the version of Nitdroid on my N900?

good news n9/n950 will be releasing soon. Heres the video

nice ~! with 12mp + meego ? hmm

Guys, if all goes well today, i will join you guys as a N900 owner/user.

But a question.. if i port Android into my N900, is it running stable? Because i would need whatsapp to work on my N900. then it'll be better than my iPhone!

stable, but no phone call...

why goes all the trouble to make N900 run android for an apps?
isn't that better to get an android phone straight away...

Something to do with the superuser ermission I think.
Which version of NITDroid are you using & which application are you trying to install?

Whatapp works but you may need to thinker with the country code to make it work.

Proof of concept.
For me I'm using NITDroid not because of whatsapp but just to see how well will android run in unofficial device.

I'm getting the N900 to fiddle with. Why won't they port Whatsapp to N900, since so many people are asking for it.

Super Evil Alien,

Trying to install AngryBirds & Aldiko .apk files.
Not quite sure how to check the version of my Nitdroid? I install using the frontpage instructions,
Setting, about phone page, the Android Version says : AOSP, kernel version says : 2.6.28. NIT.06

The asking quantity is not big enough.

The many you are refering to is only to a limited number of N900 users unlike Android or Symbian or iOS having multiple devices with 1 OS. Maemo 5 has only 1 device, N900.

Ah okay, just got my N900.. now learning on how to hard reset/flash it.
