Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

But the code you provide makes the widgets go away instantly. That happens to you?

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

No, it doesn't. I think the key is to run it as user, not root.

1) sudo gainroot
2) su user
3) dsmetool -k /usr/bin/hildon-home && dsmetool -t /usr/bin/hildon-home
or probably even better:
3) dsmetool -k /usr/bin/hildon-home; sleep 3; dsmetool -t /usr/bin/hildon-home

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

Why are you switching to root & then back to user? You can just run step 3 directly.

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

Yes, you're right. I'm so used to root, that I do nearly everything through it. :)

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900

/home/user #
/home/user #

dyu think my n900 is optimized?
does anyone know a fix for this?

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

I runned the script and ALL my desktops widgets and shortcuts show together in one desktop. :mad:
SO, i have to reboot the phone.

I DONT RECOMMEND IT.

Not a good script.

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

Could you tell us please what version of the script did you use?

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

I think there is a problem with the file you downloaded. The script isn't working, is not doing anything. What version did you use?

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

Let me test it for several times to see if it is stable. Thanks!;)

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

The zip that is in the first post in the first page, or should i browse and read all the 25 pages to look for the latest version of the script ? :D

I used the script in another n900 and nothing goes wrong in that other device, and both have PR1.2 installed.

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

This is the code of "OptimizeN900"

#!/bin/sh

echo Your Nokia N900 is being Optimized

echo Your Nokia N900 is now Optimized! ;)


--------
Will this script optimize N900?
I don't thinks so.

Process should be managed by operating system.
If you don't like a process
Just don't start it.
Not Kill it,unless it crashed.

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

the 1st one in the thread.
Optimizen900

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

aha..wait up, does the whole phone spazz out for a second and then comes back to life ?
i think ive downloaded another version of optimizen900
it says "now your phone is EXTRA optimized"
ill check it out now..
il wait for a few days n see if it works.

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

hi noipv4, i have noticed that you have really large swap. Could i know how did you make this happen and what are the benefits?

Cheers

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

Same happens in my case meaning that the script does not seem to work for me...
What could I have done wrong?

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

As you're getting errors even before the first echo statement, I'd guess that you've saved the file in DOS format, not in UNIX format. You should be able to convert it using either sed/tr (either of the following two lines - the ^M is generated by pressing Ctrl-V followed by Ctrl-M):

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

I dont read through the whole threat, but why are you not sending HUP to the processes, instead of killing them and hoping they get restarted 'by it self' (watchdog?).

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

One reason could be that dsmetool is not in the path when you run as plain "user" (you need to use /usr/sbin/dsmetool), but is found in the path after "su user" from root.

A third method could be to run "dsmetool --user=user" from root.

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

i THINK he used a class 6 memory card and partitioned it as swap memory..
i would also like to know if its useful.

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

But a simple swapoff && swapon, could be give some performance in your opinion?
Regards.

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

Depends on current swap usage. Swapoff tries to shift swap contents to RAM, so whenever RAM gets overfilled by that, strange things might happen... I wouldn't generally recommend that.

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

My most frequent issue is with hildon-desktop, over time it slowly ramps up its CPU usage and becomes a battery-killer. I haven't been able to determine the exact cause (widget?) yet.

In my tests, the command above has a positive effect in such cases, but doesn't completely correct the problem. On a hunch I tried the exact same idea, but with hildon-desktop instead of hildon-home, and up to now it has proved very effective...

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

Thanks a bunch! Instead of converting the script file on the device I used online dos2unix converter and transferred the file again onto the device - the script worked then :)
Thanks again!

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

This days another device give me the same problem when I try the script, and the solution was simpler, only open another file with Leafpad and paste all the script. Simpler :D

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

Thank you Sir

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

Will it help somebody, if I'll create package in extras-devel?
Basically it will put shell script into /opt/usr/bin/ and create icon for it.

If so please suggest name for the package and icon in this poll:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/view...Q19ULVUxT1E6MQ

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

i'd like to make this into a Queen Beecon widget, however i can't get it to work.

If i start the widget and go to advanced, i testdrive the command (your file) and it works perfectly. However if i try to import "buffer to beecon"

i get this error: anybody have a clue?

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

Ciao,
Please post complete text you are trying to import and exact button your are pushing ... from the message code it seems you are pressing top left button for command import instead of top right button for instance/beecon.
Some other screenshot of the advanced dialog box might be useful as well.
Bye

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

ive done this (for myself) just havent made a deb....

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

Waoo:eek: I'm surprised to see that you are thinking of making and package to the extras-devel. It makes me real happy:)

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

great thread JorgeFX, but maybe you should update your first post with other helpful suggestions or methods such as a desktop shortcut solution mentioned by someone on page 3??

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

Will there be a package in devel or testing soon, or is there a step by step guide for linux noobs on how to install and use?
This is just what we need for the n900.

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

I got so tired of waiting:rolleyes:..(during that time) I researched all kinds of ways to make debs(hour's upon hour's) and found a quick hack and slash way... Anyway here try this out works for me and should for you:D

# write the README file
cat > usr/share/doc/OptimizeN900-Packaged/README <<END
This package provides JorgeFX OptimizeN900 script and ossipena desktop file for the N900.
It put's OptimizeN900 script in /opt/, optimize-n900.desktop in /usr/share/applications/hildon/ and gives a shortcut.

Thank you guys!

END

EDIT:Please use new deb.. post #275:)

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

if you'd like just simply place it in your MyDocs
and open the terminal and run this command

and by the way the N900 is casesensitive
as for that it worked for me
if you want to make a widget out of it then just follow the steps in this tutorial http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=61709

discard the first step and just simply put a different title and change the command up there instead of the one provided in the tutorial

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

This is a minor update (from 0.1 to 0.2)

I

-Added "md5sums" check to the deb (the experts say I should)

-Change script's name from OptimizeN900.sh to OptimizeN900

-Put script in /usr/local/bin/ (instead of) /opt/

Now from terminal just type root then OptimizeN900 (it's case sensitive)
and it should run (make sure you have rootsh installed)

Btw.. The shortcut still works and you don't have to uninstall the first one(it removes it self)

Edit: 2morrow will add depends.. (Rootsh) well later 2day:D

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

im good with the 1st version for now. click on shortcut run fine with me.

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

Thanks,

So it was a good idea to leave the first one up there:)

Well 0.2 is for those who would like to see the script in progress from a simple "root" "OptimizeN900".
It beats "root" "cd /opt" "OptimizeN900.sh" by one command:D

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

Ok all is fixed;) version 0.5 with a new spin

Notice: I will not do a next release until i can(or someone can help me) fix the issue of the icon not showing up on installation

Quickfix: Just run the script once and for the shortcut switch themes back and forth

I try to edit my post-installation script "postinst"
With This
but no cigar

Option: killall hildon-home #NOTE: Killing the hildon-home process can erase all widgets and that is why it is disabled.... I know we don't want that to happen

And still accepting suggestions,ideas,.png's on icon(48x48).
And still wanna upload(pm that info please)i read the wiki but a bit confused still.

thanks

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

No matter what I do, your Icon does not show up?

Which is strange, because when I create a desktop file my Icons show up??
