@Trisha02

What does that file (hildon-desktop_kinetic_2.2.140-1+0m5_armel.deb) do for your Nokia N900?

Is it worth installing this on top of everything I have installed already, please see "my signature". I am really happy with the speed patch.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

@topet2k12001

The transitions.ini that i have are the same of theme-customizer (old stable)
So you will notice no difference

@jpala16
@trisha02

Try to redownload the speedpatch.tar.gz
and uninstall the patch starting from the beginning as corduroysack said
then copy and paste the codes

if it worked please tell me

if didn't then

apt-get install bash
bash speedpatch.sh

and tell me if it worked with that one so i edit the first post


EDIT: when i have a chance to use My N900 i will make a single .sh that does all the commands

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

I installed bash3 in the meantime and got it working already. So I'll leave it as it is for the moment. Maybe later or tomorrow I'll try it again to give feedback. Thanks!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

thankyou for your work karam, would it be possible to make 2 .sh's one with the transitions.ini and one without. some people like the speedpatch but want to keep their customised transition.ini.
don't want to cause you anymore work than what you've already done but think that option would be good

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

@tisha
But it is the same of the once in cssu
so no need for it

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

I can confirm that the newest patch requires bash, had the same errors as previously mentioned without it.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

Editing first post now
and can some body confirm these commands works pefect?

apt-get install bash
bash speedpatch.sh

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

@corduroysack
i will do that but not in the main time
tommorow i guess

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

Good question, I was just going to ask the same thing. My kinetic scrolling in App Menu is already quick, which I believe is a result of CSSU and I have the latest.

Okay, I'll not install it... but @trisha02 thanks for the link to Jakiman's website. That is an awesome post.

I love my Nokia N900. :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

Oh I see...got it. :) So basically I'll just do the same steps if I want to replace it with some other transitions.ini, right?

Update on my observation/monitoring of this script:

1. Conversation thread (when using Customized Conversation Theme) scrolls faster. Prior to this script I had to wait a few seconds for part of the conversation thread to load; with this script it takes around a fraction of a second.
2. I really don't open 8 browsers so I didn't get to attest to the improved speed.
3. N900 runs fast (or at least does not slow down in comparison) when running the default IM/chat application. I have tried turning on the IM (I have a Microsoft Office Communicator account, Yahoo, MSN, Facebook Chat, Ovi Chat, and Google Talk enabled) and while it's on, I opened the Email app and refreshed my email (I have Microsoft Exchange, Ovi Mail, Yahoo Mail, MSN/Hotmail, Gmail), and then while both are opened I was fiddling around with the Settings Menu and had 3 browsers on.

For me, Item #3 is most impressive as far as demonstrating what the script can do. And my N900 is running at stock 600Mhz speed at that! :)

I plan to create a video tutorial/how-to on how to install this. Question, karam: if I follow the uninstallation steps, will it revert back to its previous performance? I needed to ask so that I can include in the video tutorial a "before-after" comparison. :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

That worked for me at least.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

Ok, I tried it finally, and this just works as expected. Now you got it karam! Thanks!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

@topet2k12001
theoretically following the unsintallation steps should reverse back to the old status after a reboot
Because they remove every added file

But personally i haven't compared yet


And thanks for every one posted a feedback about the script
also it would be great if posted a video about it

Cheers

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

Actually, I noticed my battery usage is really high when I play Angry birds.

Standby time is really good though,.

Using smartreflex with QCPUfreq.

Memory access still at a constant two bars in Advanced Monitor.

Applied the latest with all the tweaks

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

I can't do the last step . :-s

Nokia-N900:~# /etc/rc.local
mount: mounting cgroup on /dev/cgroup/cpu failed: Device or resource busy
mkdir: cannot create directory '/dev/cgroup/cpu/user': File exists

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

at the first command i get this:

/home/user # mkdir /usr/local/sbin
mkdir: cannot create directory '/usr/local/sbin': File exists

at the last command i get this:
/home/user # /etc/rc.local
mount: mounting cgroup on /dev/cgroup/cpu failed: Device or resource busy

is this normal???

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

So far I have not really seen many attempts to judge effect of the patch as objectively as possible. So I have tried to do so myself.

Skipping to the result right away; I am sorry to say I could not detect a significant difference....

I used the latest patch, and also used the bash command that is apparently needed, since I had a few errors at first.

Of course it was only one test, influenced by many factors, and not quite scientific. Also, I am still not 100% certain the patch was installed correctly. (though I think it was. Any way of checking?)

Here's what I did:
- I tried to do exactly the same actions, first without, and then with the patch applied.
- I varied only the speedpatch. I have the following other patches active: swappolube, hardware accell. switched on, O/Ced to 500-850 ideal profile, fast transitions, PowerKernel 47, CSSU, tracker switched off by using tracker-config
- stage 1:
Open sites Engadgetmobile.com, maemo.org, allaboutmaemo, my-maemo.com latest sofware
Open gpodder
open contacts
open mediaplayer, play 'N900 extremely short' movie
open opera, load allaboutsymbian in opera
results: w/o patch it took 4:30, with patch 4:00. There is a difference, but I may have been a bit more practiced at opening the programs the second time around, and I forgot to empty the browser caches, so I would not call it significant
- stage 2:
With the above mentioned programs open, I tried to judge responsiveness, speed etc of the following actions, by assigning a grade between 1 and 10 (10 being highest):
(results: w/o means without patch, w means with patch applied)
program switching: w/o, 7.5, w 7.5
browsing, scrolling in browser w/o, 8, w 7.5
scrolling in Gpodder's all episodes view while loading page in background: w/o, 5, w 4
“ while not loading page w/o, 6, w 6
scrolling contacts w/o, 6, w 7
scrolling Hildon-desktop w/o, 8, w 8
conclusion: the scores without patch are a bit higher, but not much difference
- stage 3, 'stress test',
opening Fennec 7 Nightly, loading engadgetmobile.com, testing responsiveness, and closing Nightly again, with all before-mentioned programs still open. I'll leave out the details, but it was a disaster. It took about 10 minutes in both cases, without patch it was somewhat faster.

- stage 4: rating performance of multitasking, browsing, closing windows again after Nightly was fully closed again: 6.5 without patch, 6.5 with patch applied.

As I said, it is still only a single, and not quite perfectly executed test, so if anyone else feels like doing a similar (or better!) comparing test, we can get a better idea.

@Ali
@Dragoss91

You are Doing fine
i said in the first post ignore any errors about device resource busy
and any others

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

@maartenmk


nice comparing
how ever i don't know why the patch didn't effect your N900
you can check if the patch applied
by

cd /dev/cgroup/cpu

if you got there then the patch is applied
but if it said no such file or directory
then it is not applied

PS: did you make a reboot before comparing?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

I will do the same comparing test
and reply back

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

I'd like to confirm that instructions on post#1 works perfectly.

I did not read the error received closely, I did not have bash installed! I'm quite ashamed :) Now, testing time!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

Done
PS: DIDN'T OVERLOAKED (600 MHZ)

- stage 1:
Open sites Engadgetmobile.com, maemo.org
Open gpodder
open contacts
open mediaplayer, play 'N900's default video
open opera, load maemo.org in opera
results: w/o patch it took 4, with patch 7.
- stage 2:
program switching: w/o, 6, w 10 (multi taksing)
browsing, scrolling in browser w/o, 7.5, w 7.5
scrolling in Gpodder's all episodes view while loading page in background: w/o, 5, w 7 (at least)
scrolling contacts w/o, 4, w 7 (get s w 10 when overloaked to 805)
scrolling Hildon-desktop w/o, 6, w 10
- stage 3, 'stress test',
i don't have fennec

- stage 4: rating performance of multitasking, browsing, closing windows
one line: multi task is super awesome with the patch


So for me the patch makes a huge differences
as for many others here


EDIT:
each 100mhz of overcloaking with the patch
is just like 200mhz overloaking with out the patch :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

i have just modded my conversations with conversation modder and now the movements are smoother more responsive than befors the script. :D

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

if you are using winscp then you can do this step on your own , just extract the files on your desktop then place the extracted files in /home/user/MyDocs and then follow the other steps

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

Well , I don't know if this patch made a big difference to me , all I can say it's with 16 web pages open + wifieye with autorefresh + bluemaemo connected + conky I can play angry birds very well and I can watch a video also very well . By the way , my n900 it's overclocked to 1000 (250/1000) . Also menu it's moving just like no app it's open and multitasking UI it's moving well , not perfect but very well with these apps open . :)

Web pages open :

Facebook
Youtube
Trading212 (forex , full flash)
Flickr
Ovi store
Twitter
Nokia support
Share on Ovi
Maemo select
Google search
Files on ovi
Maemo browser
and other 4 websited from my country

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

yes, it's there.

Yes, I started from a clean, just booted device each time (did I forget to mention that?)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

nope i am not using winscp.. where i am doing worng and how can i make it right

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

Here's how i successfully installed the patch

downloaded bash4
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...l/bash4/4.2-1/

installed through app manager

then instead of
bash ./speedpatch.sh
i executed
bash4 ./speedpatch.sh

the patch was installed successfully now i am doing some benchmarking to find out if my device is faster than before.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

but my problem is something else...

http://i56.tinypic.com/2rnh4ev.png

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

i was getting the same error .
well if you are not using winscp you can use bluetooth to send these files to your cell or the data cable ??

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

@cutehunk04

You don't have speedpatch.tar.gz in MyDocs
because as i can see the cp command went wrong

And For every one else making benchmarks
not all of you may feel differences (specially people who have overlocaked n900 =>805 mhz

Bottom line the patch is working very well
and it can give you the performance of 900mhz overloaked device
while using 600 mhz

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

@cutehunk04:

Is there an space between "..tar.gz" and "./" ?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

correct i seem to not see a space between .tar.gz and ./

cutehunck04

just copy the codes and paste them
after downloading speedpatch.tar.gz

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

i think you didnt put a space after speedpatch.tar.gz
the command is
cp /home/user/MyDocs/speedpatch.tar.gz ./

you can try this
cp /home/user/MyDocs/speedpatch.tar.gz /home/user/

remember there is a space after speedpatch.tar.gz

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

done working... :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

I think no problems are left now

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

hello karam
just want to know if there is any way to check if the script is working ?
i know cheking the browser way and tried that but couldn't able to differentiate, so is there any other way to check? like by checking files where script is applied or something like that?
thank you :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically (FINAL VERSION)
 

patch works great karam.
must say battery life has improved quite a bit for me.
thank u very much.
