Yet another OS2008 HE thread

[ericdkirk]

Just thought I would start another OS 2008 HE on the 770 thread I did not think 3 was enough.
I have gone back an forth over the last week with what OS I like on my 770, I hate that the audio sucks but that might get fixed with the next release ;)

OK to get to the reason I am creating a new thread since I just flashed my kernel with Fanoush's high speed one.

I used this (http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/#sdhc) kernel with is reporting the same version number as the existing on in the OS2008 HE release 2.6.16.27

It improved the swap responsiveness tons.

and since the sound sucks I took the chance and started removing services, I think it is safe. :p


rm /etc/rc2.d/S99metalayer-crawler0
rm /etc/rc2.d/S99mediaplayer-daemon
rm /etc/rc2.d/S99alarmd
rm /etc/rc2.d/S25multimediad

I have only installed OS 2008 repos and everything has worked so far.

If some one were to get the OS to boot off of a high speed mmc then the performance boost would be even better.

Reops I have installed are
Maemo
Maemo Extras
Lancode.de
Debfarm

all from http://www.gronmayer.com/it/

Well you should be able to get root either
>with become root
>or open ssh server (my choice)

you should go in the docs folder and remove all the pdfs to make space

place these 2 files 1 (http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/kernel_flasher.tgz) 2 (http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/kernel-sdhc-48MHz-3.2006.49.tar.gz) in the docs folder

as root (in a console) run
tar zxvf /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/kernel_flasher.tgz
tar zxvf /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/kernel-sdhc-48MHz-3.2006.49.tar.gz
cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/kernel_flasher
./kernel_flash /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/zImage-48MHz
shutdown -r now

NOTE:
If you do not understand what this process is you should not be doing this.
Make sure you have read Fanoush's site (http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/#sdhc) and the problems that can come with this.
