Re: Boost N900! :)

now just installed newest version, will test

edit: bout time this got into extras-devel ;-)

Re: Boost N900! :)
 

This shouldn't ever be put into a repository. It replaces "critical" files and does so without any real redundancy. The package explains nothing about what it's doing, shoves files into start-up and it's generally very obnoxious.

Having said that, it's a very good modification by the author, took a lot of testing and works as it should. This is what the community is for, and if others want to make changes like this - they need to actively search them out and get involved.

bla-bla-bla
Are u making final decision what to be in repo and what not? Ha)) Are u Linus LOL.
Don`t think too much bout ur self.

Re: Boost N900! :)
 

I agree with you on two things....I shouldn't put it in the repositories, but cause it replaces system files. Nokia would probably hunt me down and place some lawsuit against me. Not that they'd find me :|. Or simply remove it after checking the package contents who knows....

You also said the package explains nothing about what it's doing. I'm working on documenting my findings right now, so you guys could try and make the device faster yourselves. It was poor coding and documentation on my behalf, so I can understand why you would call it "obnoxious".

It's actually quite easy to make the n900 faster using the files I uploaded...If you know what to look for....

And to the post above..
Hawaii, there is some people here that actually do some good job here, and what have u done for this community?.. u know the answer, think bout it.
And for SavageD thx again for job, cause sound of our n900 is not good enough and many of us want to make it bit better, so dont stop this project, and dont listen to script kiddy's.

@devdsp;

Clearly, if the author of this very modification, has no qualms with what I said AND agreed with me - none of you should. Regarding what I have done...well, realistically, the TuneN900 script included in his package is based directly on Swappolube - which draws immediately from my own blog post and findings. Go find the thread, you'll see the FIRST post giving a link and credit to me.

Let's just end it at that.

@SavageD;

What you could do, was simply package a script that modified the files, instead of shipping modified ones. A little bit of grep/awk/sed work and it'd be done.

Re: Boost N900! :)
 

I thought it would be easier to simply replace the files, I guess using those commands would work just as well. hmm would make file smaller too.

O.O, so I'm guessing it is you that the public owes it to for presenting those wonderful swappolube/virtual memory tweaks?

Honestly I didn't who it was that truely created it, I thought that it was a script that blew up or was modified by various users over time in the forum. So now I know who to truly thank for the script man. Thank you :-)

I'll change the info to suite...where can I find your blog post?

I've yet to make a follow-up, to some of the comments and concerns. Most of the information and discussion is in the "swappolube" thread.

Re: Boost N900! :)
 

using the lastest experimental version, and I swear my battery drains quicker than the [updated] one from OP

Re: Boost N900! :)
 

Some comments after having used it for a week or so. I have the feeling that it does not work very well in (at least) one circumstance: having wifi +playing music through a bluetooth headphone.
I have then quite a lot of stuttering...

Otherwise thanks a lot for the work :)
