Re: How often do you reboot?
 
I almost never charge my N900. I charge batteries on my separate charger. I reboot only when I swap batteries. If there was a capacitor so I didn't have to reboot then (it's been suggested before but the suggestion was ignored) I wouldn't reboot at all.

By the way, it seems to me if so many people think they benefit from rebooting, couldn't someone write an app that refreshes some processes or something so rebooting wasn't necessary?

rootsh from devel.. there seems to be lots of different versions of it.. which one do i install ??
You'll have to forgive my ignorance cos im very new to all this stuff.. (but im willing to learn and looking forward to the challenge:D)

That question has nothing to do with this thread.

There is only one rootsh if you open App Mgr and find it.

Only if the battery dies. Current uptime 16 days

... before the update my phone got noticably laggy after a few days ... afterwards I had issues with yellownotes/twitter widget and was rebooting hourly ... but since I don't think I've felt the need to reboot ...

hardly ever. i remember i had to pull out the battery 2 weeks ago because the n900 didn't react any more... and when i did it, i thought "well, good that this happened, maybe a fresh boot isn't that bad after all."

i have a second n900 that gets more re-boots because i play more with it - things i expect to go wrong.

I made a very little script that kill some processes for gaining some speed without reboot, based in some threads I read. In PR1.1.1 it worked very well but it is incomplete for the goal you want to achieve. In PR1.2 it doesn't help much, I don't know why yet. It seems to be that in PR1.2 other processes are guilty for making the device slow after one or two days of use.

Anyway, I attached the script. There is a line that can be added and very usefull: killall browser browserd
I didn't added it because I have the browser open most of the time and I don't want it to be closed.

Maybe we can make a better script with help of the comunity ;) GOD bless you ALL ;)
