Hi  folks,

I’ve tested meego SR on my N900 and it looks great. There are only problems with my german keyboard layout left, but with onscreen keyboard everything works fine.

Next I will check connecting it to anything, I’ve connected maemo to.

The installation documentation is here and it simply works. If you have a pr1.3 kernel, you only need to install uboot. Originally it can boot from a fat partition of any sd card inserted. If you want to switch back, you have only to remove the sd card. For testing it is easy.

Now I will test Meego some swipes more

best regards xexplorer

You will find more info’s on meego.com. A short list of release notes can be found here.

The third variant Handset UX is designed for use with mobile phones and internet tablets.

Short news about the upgrade. I had to flash the new emmc and have had some problems doing so with windows. On my gentoo box it worked very fast and well. The Steps described on maemo.org should work. If not you have some problem with your OS and usb. It seems everything is running well. Even the backup function is working well, contacts and so on were there after a few seconds and the Software (Packagelist was backuped) was installed within an hour …  about 400 MB to download …
