Install Leafpad from the App manager and make sure that you have root access
Close App manager, open X Terminal and execute the following commands:
```
root
apt-get update
apt-get install nitdroid-installer
```
After the nitdroid-installer package is installed, close X Terminal, but do NOT run the installer you just downloaded.

Open X Terminal, and execute the following commands: NOT sudo gainroot

root
cd /home/user/MyDocs
bzip2 -d NITDroid-0.0.9.tar.bz2

(This will take about 5min, so relax)

cd /home
mkdir /and

(If it gives error "file system exist" its ok, continue)

cd /
mount /home /and
cd /and (You should be at AND directory, if not try above again).
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-0.0.9.tar
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-kernel-Mido.Fayad.deb

Edit the boot file:
```
leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11
```
(then tap the tab button, .item file will show, hit enter to open it in Leafpad). Edit ITEM_DEVICE in the file according to this:
- If you don't have an MMC plugged in your N900, change ITEM_DEVICE to this:
```
ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p2
```
Can't save? Get filebox from AppManager and open it. Go to root folder and open multiboot.d in leafpad. Not it will work.
Once editing is complete click the drop down menu on Leafpad and save then close Leafpad.
