Hello Meegos,
As you know, yesterday Handset UX developement was opened in MeeGo. As N900 is
the other hanset reference device in MeeGo, we are of course actively
developing all the required adaptation elements to make it possible to run
MeeGo Handset UX on N900.

Now, when all the related source's are available, perhaps we can solve those
issues as MeeGo community !
This really is Day 1 "codedrop" for Hanset UX rather than release, we also have
bunch of other known issues and errors, like
- Wlan does not work on every boot
* sometimes you need to boot again..
- Sreen rotation does not work
* our accelerometer sensor is not working right at the moment
- On some applications closing button is hardly visible
- You can use home button once per application to go to task swicther, and come
back, but not more than that
* this is known bug in framework
- There is no phone functionality
* Our new opensource drivers for modem module are not stable enough yet.
And in addition we still have some issues know already earlier, like
- Battery loading does not work
* BME, (nokia closed) component still don't work properly..
Because of all this and some misc problems, we decided that there is no point
of creating ready-made image for N900. However, there is everything available
to build your own image if you are really interested to try it now. Many things
are now moving all the time, and what you get with these instructions is in
fact the daily image containing the latest state of MeeGo Handset UX
development for N900.
After all, this is "code drop" related to MeeGo development, and it is actually
interesting first exercise to setup your build environment and start your MeeGo
development by creating your first image yoursefl !
The kickstart file to enable the image creation is available at
http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/meego-codedrop.php
Before you can download it, you need to enter valid IMEI code of your N900
device. That is required because of our current licensensing situation for some
closed components that are required to build functional Handset UX Day 1 image.
We are working on this issue and I hope we can get rid of this extra step in
very near future.
Some instructions are available at
http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Releases/Daily
Theu are still under development and may contain some errors, please bear with
un on this one as well.
So, now you should have practically everything available, so lets make MeeGo
1.1 happen together !
Br,
