Some have theirs overclocked, some don't. Some have battery draining widgets/apps while others don't. It comes down to whats installed with it, and what isn't.
But let's consider hardware revisions are different. That's a proven truth.

SavageD,

Have you finished all of your assignments?

Can you give us a rough estimate of when your next updated patch will be released?

I really feel the boost in performance and sound, but there are still little problems here and there.

What problems? Are you still having those reboots?

My pulseaudio does not start up when I reboot. Sometimes it does though. I usually have to manually start it through terminal. Also at times, my screen freezes for about 1-2 sec before I can do anything.

Remove the patch (Restoredefaults.sh) , restart the device, and let me know if the problem still occurs over a weeks time.

On the other hand, does anyone else have these problems?

all done,will put it thru its paces tommorrow :) in earleir posts you talked about option 1 or 2,is this still an option as i dont see any settings or anything?

Those were my older patches, there's no longer an option 1 and 2 because I needed to get feed backs faster, also wanted to make the script simpler to use...didn't want to confuse anyone.

I read another topic about someone having the same problem.

I just restored it and my sound loaded up.

I will tell you in a weeks time how everything goes.

I say it in a post before in this thread, i have the same problem, but restoredefaults dont solve anything and i have to reflash the whole phone

Re: Boost N900! :)
 
I just rebooted my device and no soud once again. This never happened prior to installing this patch. Can you look into this issue SavageD?

also tv out semms not to be working for me...anyone having similar issues???

stew-b 2010-12-01 20:03
Re: Boost N900! :)
 
hmmm tried it for a good few hours today..didnt notice any increase in volume,audio quality seems the same and battery flat in 12 hours so no improvment there :(
it said the patch was complete/succesful?

msa 2010-12-01 20:31
Re: Boost N900! :)
 
installed it yesterday

feels neither faster or louder
but sure seems to have improved the battery life! do like!

@ SavageD, or whomever might know...

first off i would like to say a big THANK YOU!!! to SavageD for all your work and experimenting in putting these tweaks together.

i took a peak inside your TuneN900.sh script to see how your system tweaks varied from my own. i prefer to hard-code my tweaks directly into my rcS and rcS-late files rather than running a modifying script at start (i don't use Swappolube for this reason). i noticed some interesting discrepancies between your ideal setting and what i thought were ideal setting, and i was wondering if you might be able to shed some light on why you chose the values you did.

echo 6 > /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster

i currently am running with this value as 3. some believe 1 is a good value while other's argue that the leaving this @ 5 (nokia default) is better. i landed somewhere in the middle and it seems to be working well for me. what effects did you notice while experimenting with this value?

echo 900 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
echo 900 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs

i current have both these values set to 0 (disable). i believe the nokia default was 500 or something in that neighborhood. is it actually beneficial to allow these daemons to run (just less frequently than nokia's default)?

echo 40 > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure

i had originally left this @ it's default value of 100, but decided to give it a go @ 40. having changed multiple values it's impossible for me to be able to tell what exactly the effects of this are on my system. so i ask you, whom i assume experimented with control tests, how much exactly does this setting effect the devices performance?

echo 60 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio

again i cannot remember the default value for this, but i changed mine to 95 after reading about it in a blog a while back. does this value work better after being set lower? i realize setting it too high risks of running the device out of memory, but setting it too low causes unnecessary writes as it starts dumping dirty writes too often. obviously you feel 60 is a good value for this, but i am curious how much testing (and what results) you did before arriving at this conclusion.

well i think that's it for now. Thanks again, and keep hacking!

Re: Boost N900! :)
 
Well i reflashed my device and still notice that after issuing command alsamixer c-0 , apart from options master and capture , others are not visible that means boostn900 patches are hardcoded to remain after emmc and firmware reflash. My capture options shows 100 % level and i seriously dont want to blow my speakers ..can some please upload thr backup copy aka RestoreDefaults.sh asap !

@tusharmax
these are the restore files which came default w/ the patch. for some reason i could not make MakeBackups.sh run on my device (though, admittedly i am too drunk and tried to apply much effort). if you open/edit BoostN900.sh (included in the .zip) it will inform you of the proper placement of the files in the the tree. hope this helps. ciao

Re: Boost N900! :)
 
Thanks for Boost N900! I used the nov. 21 version and it's working well. There's a slight improvement in volume and a noticeable increase in battery life for my n900.

However sometimes i lose sound when connecting or disconnecting headphones. It doesn't happen much like 3-4 times only since i installed it. What i do is just restart media player or reconnect my headphones again.

I run on stock kernel no OC.

My patches are completely removed upon reflash....You have no idea what your talking about o_O.


1) Capture volume is always 100% with or without the patches. Capture Volume has nothing to do with the speakers, it has everything to do with recording audio.

2) The levels in alsa mixer -c0 changes according to certain situations...e.g making phone calls, inserting headphones, plugging in tv out cable etc etc. The levels are all mostly flat when not in use....

The alsamixer -c0 command has nothing to do with my patches....o_o

Step 6 is used only if you have a problem or simply want to remove the patch.

(original blog post i used for modifying vm setting)


don't want to go into techincallities and all cause I don't want to make a long post.

echo 6 > /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster

I chose this value simply because having done some research I found that increasing the value actually made their computers faster. The original value was "5" which I thought was good enough though just to make things slightly better I increased it to "6" any higher and it would dig into battery life as it makes swap more aggressive.

echo 900 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
echo 900 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs

After reading this, and many other resources; I decided to make the pdflush daemon check dirty memory less frequently to reduce cpu load when using heavy apps, longer checks intervals means less pause time....Where dirty memory was checked/flushed every 500 milisecs it is now checked/flushed every 900 milisecs.

echo 60 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio

Actually Changing this value two I saw no increase in anything. I chose the value 60 simply because it was intermediate between 40 and 95. If needs be I would probably change it back to 40 :/.

echo 40 > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure

How should I put this :/...basically I reduced the total memory or caches dedicated to the checking and indexing of the file system to 40%.

What is the difference between your quickfix and the one from the 11-30-10 you posted?

tusharmax 2010-12-05 06:42
Re: Boost N900! :)
 
savageD i am not blaming your patches or anything, its just unlike usual issuing of alsamixer c-0 , i still get only master and capture option and not others.. now this happens when i apply your patches but even after reflashing the options are only limited to master and capture.. earlier when i used to issue alsamixer command without patches i used to get whole list of options including headphones and others

p.s. Please let me know what iam missing out here to get those options back !

Your using the wrong command....it's

alsamixer -c0

This is here is more or less a test script for anyone who is willing to give it a try:

This new script is even faster than the last update, (have a look at your videos before and after applying it).

I haven't uploaded this to the first post just yet as I need some feed backs on this one....battery life, observations etc.

Sound quality should be the same as last time...so if you notice a decreases, plz let me know


I plan to package the next update into a .deb file.

There actually quite a lot of changes:

dirty_background_ratio returned to system default value of 10

dirty_ratio increase to swappolube setting of 95%

"DISALLOW_MODULE_LOADING" for pulse audio daemon returned to normal state.

Fixed other issues relating to pulse that I observed. Namely small pauses when using certain apps.

I meant the videos you have on the N900, anyone of em. A movie, music video, anything, You should still see a clear difference, no lagging, and they should move super smooth.
