How to install Android 2.3 Gingerbread on Nokia N900
I’ll update the tutorial with latest Gingerbread build soon.
Hey Plaban,
I am Hardik Parekh from India.
Thanks a lot for this important news & am waiting for your tutorial for the installation of latest Gingerbread build. I have already followed the first tutorial for basic gingerbread installation & its working fine at my end, off course that gingerbread is having some basic problems, I hope this latest build will fix them.. 🙂
Morever, I have a query regarding the latest CSSU community update of N900 which appears now a days whenver I switch internet ON on my N900.
Its a 22.5 MB update. When I follow the updation, a message is flashed that “To install this update, connect your phone to PC in PC suite Mode. The nokia PC suite will guide you for the installation procedure.” When I did the same & clicked on “software updater” in Nokia PC suite in my PC, Nothing happened. Can You find/describe a step by step installation procedure for this update???
Thanks a lot in advance…
Best Regards,
Hardik
It looks like you have less space in rootfs.Uninstall apps and themes which you don’t need and try again.Or you can update from x-terminal
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

hey I just want to know if 2.3.4 supports gps and if the usb is working
Hi,
Thanks for your steps and i am able to install it onto my N900 mobile successfully. But i am facing problem with battery. It is discharging very fast and mobile back is heated up and there is no sound to caller or receiver when call established. Is there any fix available for these problems. Please let me know.
These are known problems. Voice calling is still not supported in Android but it may come in future.
Thanks for your update palban. What about battery problem. Battery heating up and quick discharge also normal behavior or anything is missed out in my configuration.
Android is not optimized for N900 so battery will discharge fast compared to Maemo 5. In Android N900 runs in overclock mode (700Mhz processor speed) so heating is expected.
Thanks for your update plaban……
I’m really very thanking you for the great easy to use or i would prefer call it naked tutorial -for those noobs who seem not to understand it- and i would like to tell you that i did it and now i have 2 OSs on my n900 the Maemo and the Gingerbread -thanks to you and your tutorial-
wish you good luck and waiting for the new android build and i hope that the bugs and crashes get’s fixed soon
also i have a request if there is any possibility to have android 4 on our n900 it would be great
thanks again
wish you the best of luck
bye bye
