Make sure you have kernel-power v49 installed before continuing

Make sure you have extras-devel and SDK repos enabled before continuing.
press here while in microb to install extras-devel repo.

You have to manually add SDK repo from application manager:
Start Application manager and on menu select Application Catalogs. Select New. Enter SDK for catalog name, http://repository.maemo.org/ for web address, fremantle/sdk for distribution and free non-free for components.


You will need about 6GB free on MyDocs and about 800 MB free on /opt

As root:

1. Download and extract attached n900_720p.tar.gz into /root folder of your n900

cd /root
tar -zxvf n900_720p.tar.gz


2. Cd to directory with extraced files

cd /root/n900_720p

3. execute the script

./mount_n950_rootfs.sh

4. Go on a long walk, it takes 2-3 hours for process to complete.

5. uninstall gstreamer0.10-openmax from n900. As root:

apt-get remove gstreamer0.10-openmax

6. When finished reboot your n900 and enjoy

NOTE: this scripts install additional software (wget, liblzo2-2 and p7zip-full), use fillowing command to remove it
As root:
apt-get remove wget liblzo2-2 p7zip-full


EDIT: to speed things up paste following in xterm. It does not matter if the script is already running.

Code:

        echo 512 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/nr_requests
        echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/slice_idle
        echo 32 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/quantum
        echo 80 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/fifo_expire_sync
/fifo_expire_sync
        echo 180 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/fifo_expire_async
/fifo_expire_async

EDIT2:
New script uploaded, previous version did not make backup of /lib/dsp . If you need to restore original /lib/dsp directory as root:

apt-get install --reinstall omap3430-dsp-baseimage-ti omap3430-dsp-libraries-ti
