Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script [FINAL VERSION] + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically + Battery Improvements
 
i don't know if i'm abusing it too much or not but i have:

3 accounts online. i had fb, msn pecan, skype (tried reducing to 1: just fb but no change)
not more than 5 browsers
tweedsuit
conky
sms one person

running widgets:
personal dataplan monitor
personal ip
conversations
media player(not playing anything)

i've done the scripts (installed property) and reinstalled the latest one numerous times with the vfs cache set to 10 as well.

and it has shown many signs of hildon-home crashing... too many times... looks like it didn't work smoothly like some have claimed.only when running NOTHING but this one browser is the phone showing proper/acceptable responsiveness.. at the most maybe 2 active windows and that's it. if go online with my IM accounts or open more browsers.... kuku

I don't know what happening with your phone, but i've had as much as 11 apps open(running) and 4 web pages, with minimal performance lag

Your script makes this app Advanced Interface Switcher (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=60473) not being able to pull up the Internet Connection dialog after enabling wifi. Before installing the script, the dialog worked fine. Could you take a look?

zerocool2k,Dark_Angel85
i don't know what is your problem guys but after i applied the whole #1 post
i got a perfect super N900

edit: Dark_Angel85
i have just run the apps/accounts/widgets you have
and i don't have N900 over cloaked
but i'm running them all smoothly
the problem must be from your N900
try to disable Hwsync
it may help

Hmm, it's weird, this only happened after I applied the whole things in the first post.

just like what mohammad said
try to disable the HWsync because it doesn't work perfectly on every N900

okey i have downloaded the patch ,whats next ? can i get it through app manager ?
OR
sudo gainroot
whats next to type ?
i know this is annoying but if some body can pull this off ? plz
i have read the first post ..

zerocool2k 2011-07-07 16:21

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script [FINAL VERSION] + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically + Battery Improvements
 
OK, I removed and reinstalled Advanced Interface Switcher and now that auto dialog pull up works again. No need to disable HWsync.

EDIT: Ah, scratch that. After rebooting, it doesn't work again. Something must be blocking the calling script (you know, that internet connection is automatically pulled up after you enable wifi...). I just applied this patch and swappolube proposed settings. HWsync is disabled now but still doesn't help.

Just follow first post instructions. Copy/paste every line and that's it, it works.

Then just follow all the commands after "sudo gainroot". You haven't completed them yet.

Can you (or anyone that has the latest Advanced Interface Switcher) double check: after rebooting, if you enable wifi, does the Internet Connection dialog automatically pull up?

do i have to copy this all in once in x term?
mkdir /usr/local/sbin
cp /home/user/MyDocs/speedpatch.tar.gz ./
tar xzvf speedpatch.tar.gz
mv speedpatch /etc/event.d
mv transitions.ini /home/user/MyDocs
chmod +rwx speedpatch.sh
chmod +rwx /etc/event.d/speedpatch
bash ./speedpatch.sh

Apply one line at a time in xterm

Type each line then hit enter...

once procedure is complete, proceed to the next line

i just installed the newest patch and it's working fine, right now i have 12 windows open including the music it's looking fine only with less lag not like before. big change thanks for the patch karam =)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script [FINAL VERSION] + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically + Battery Improvements
 
how do you know if the script is working? I mean, is there a command that we can run to see if it`s installed properly.Mine feels a little faster but not by much.

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

this question has been repeated thousands of times

cd /dev/cgroup/cpu

if you are there that means the patch is applied

@karam,
thanks for your script and tips!
i did apply the swappolube vfs cache pressure=10, though not the smartreflex option. hehe
just curious, how did you come up with the value=10? what does it do?

JSTAR 2011-07-07 18:13

@sophocha how do you know if the script is working? I mean, is there a command that we can run to see if it`s installed properly.Mine feels a little faster but not by much.

Well i tried opening 6 windows with music on before installing the script and overcloked to 805 and it was laggy. Then after installing the scipt i tried more than 9 windows with music on it's super fast with the same overclock. So for me it's working well, and i'm not experiencing any reboot yet. :)

for non permanent change

echo 10 > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure

for permanent make a startup script in /etc/event.d with above command

or use swappolube and it will make the script and put it for you :p

hildon-home crashing means you have some widget which is corrupt and is responsible for the crash. try to identify it and you should be all set... try by removing all widget and see if crash occurs, if not put widget which you require one by one and keep checking. the moment you hit the bad widget it should crash your hildon-home and you know the culprit.

Sorry for negative comments above, but that is my experience

KP46 250-900, swap on micro SD card, IO scheduler tweaks, swappiness 30.

hey freemangordon, did the patch worked for you?
the patch had same effect on my device too so i removed
without patch it is working fine.
did you find out what was the problem?
or some devices have conflict with the patch?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script [FINAL VERSION] + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically + Battery Improvements
 
sanros
IMO i think that the N900s having this problems
got swap tricks or some conflicting system based files
so i think you should reflash your device and start fresh with the patch

PS: I and many other members doesn't have any problemsd
believe me
this script and these tweaks made my n900 paradise

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script [FINAL VERSION] + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically + Battery Improvements
 
mehulrajput

ok. i remember it not crashing so often... but i'll heed your advice and try to remove all widgets to see the outcome for 3 days + usage and post my feedback here

lsolano 2011-07-08 00:28

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script [FINAL VERSION] + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically + Battery Improvements
 
Can someone post some recommended values for swappolube ? I mean, values that can complement this patch and get even better performance.

vetsin 2011-07-08 00:57

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script [FINAL VERSION] + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically + Battery Improvements
 
have you downloaded swappolube yet? i'm using the proposed vales with karam's script right now. i'm not sure if this is the best but it sure is snappy. :)

lsolano 2011-07-08 01:03

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script [FINAL VERSION] + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically + Battery Improvements
 
@vetsin yes, I've been using it for a while now, with proposed values. I just liked to know if there are some values that, now that we have this patch, can be tuned to work better with it :-)

karam 2011-07-08 03:01

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script [FINAL VERSION] + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically + Battery Improvements
 
That's possible
but it needs some one to test and test and test and .......
aaarh this will take a long time
and for me 0% i can test anything

sorry, my mistake...
I forgot sysctl is from enhanced busybox.

Also, typo in forgetting the /vm/ part.
Anyways, echo works too.

Thanks!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script [FINAL VERSION] + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically + Battery Improvements
 
currently, no widgets.. only running

1 contacts shortcut
icons
and 8 bookmarks

tried running IM, web browsers 5++ and other apps like tweedsuit/tweego and it slows down quite significantly... hildon-home crashes again and the phone freezes up...

sorry to report this karam... but it still doesn't match up one of the previous patches you had before which made my phone SO SNAPPY and fast... this one just doesn't allow me to connect to the IM and have a good UX...

If i'm just loading web pages (let's say about 6 of em), everything seems to be ok and the UX is acceptable and quite fluid. Once i start to connect to the IMs, it'll start to show signs of freezing and after a while eventually freeze once I open up browsers and stuff

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script [FINAL VERSION] + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically + Battery Improvements
 
i agree with problems with slowing down using IMs. not very significant for me but phone does slow down. thank you for the work you have done however.

But you see, this wasn't the problem before

I'm VERY sure that in one of the previous patches, the UI was completely fine. I had widgets and everything else and the UI was UBER smooth. I could run all my bookmarks, tweego, sociality, 3 accounts online and everything was still A-OK.

That's why I feel a bit frustrated that now these updated patches didn't work as smoothly as before.

*sigh... I know it's difficult to test all the patches out karam... but good job thus far.

No, as my n900 is snappy without it, I install the script just to test it and remove it right after my earlier post.

i dont think so , as i am using this hadware acceleration tweak way before karam has started this thread and i haven't faced any crash in IM .

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Super Script [FINAL VERSION] + Tweaks To Speed UP N900 Dramatically + Battery Improvements
 
what should i get after doing all this in x terminal ?

mkdir /usr/local/sbin
cp /home/user/MyDocs/speedpatch.tar.gz ./
tar xzvf speedpatch.tar.gz
mv speedpatch /etc/event.d
mv transitions.ini /home/user/MyDocs
chmod +rwx speedpatch.sh
chmod +rwx /etc/event.d/speedpatch
bash ./speedpatch.sh
rm speedpatch.sh
/etc/rc.local

all i got is ( couldnt find package )
though i opened so many browsers with a lag or crash.
am i missing something or script is working ?

That HW tweak is the most notorious hack on the N900 for working differently on different devices. I don't use it because it messes up mine, no matter what else I do or don't have installed or running. The fact it works on yours is good for you but is no data point for anyone else.

Anybody who has enabled HW acceleration and has found instability in anything needs to turn it off and try everything again.
