Hi all , is there any way to install the OS on the internal memory instead of the slow compressed rom ?
and maybe use the rom as swap only ?
runnin the OS from the internal is probably faster and takes less CPU and thefor battery usage , because reading/writing to the rom goes through compression algorithms which consumes CPU cycles and battery right ?
First, it's not ROM, it's OneNAND. And it's definitely not read-only, as those experiencing low free space on / can attest to.
What you need to do is boot into RescueOS, mount maemo root filesystem, copy / into a partition, unmount the rootfs, mount the home filesystem, copy that into /home on your scratch partition, create a symlink from /home/opt to /opt, remove the pymaemo-optify lines from rcS-late, remove the home-mounting lines from rcS-late, and use one of many ways to boot that root file system, such as Bootmenu (old), a rebuilt kernel with u-boot (new) and pray that it boots.

thanks for showing that there might be a way .
now how can i do all that ?
yes i found that link , but it says pr 1.2 and that it might not work , so i didn't try it ! .
if it is possible and stable for pr1.3 it would be great !
