Almost certainly the same one won't work (if the patching process is any good, it'll check a checksum of the file to be patched anyway, and will refuse to even try to patch it)

That's exactly what happened.

I am not familiar with linux
when adding the /var/lib/install/usr/bin folder to the path in both /etc/profile and /root/.profile to make it more convenient, what is meant by making it more convenient.

That you don't have to type "/var/lib/install/usr/bin/vim", you can just type "vim".

Ofcource there will be a patch for the new version
I have simply been a bit buisy. I saw today that the new image was available and have already done a few changes. I am looking around and testing the original a bit more first to see if there are some other changes worth doing.

If anyone has suggestions to changes that would simplify use and/or increase usefullness of the 770 I'd be happy to try em out. One thing I'm most annoyed at on previous version is the poor memory availability. A few web windows and it is too sluggish for words and starting to yell for more memory. Hoping this version is better...

Here's what I think will be in the patch:

1. gainroot ignores R&D flag and always allow root.
2. "/var/lib/install/usr/bin" added to path in /etc/profile
3. "/var/lib/install/usr/bin" added to path in /root/.profile
4. Swap on/off buttons in Extra menu for a 16 MB swap at /media/mmc1/swap
(Pluss appropriate changes in sudoers)
5. External USB-disk mount/unmount buttons on Extra menu targeting /MyDocs/usbdisk
(Pluss appropriate changes in sudoers)
6. Pre-removed IceAge trailer
7. Pre-removed mp3 of that houling lady

The removal of the trailer and mp3 makes the new image smaller making it faster to flash

I have already tested the swap and it works well. The issue about MMC lifetime using it as a swap is really not too bad of an issue when it is used rarely. If using many apps often and with a lot of switching, MMC-wear might be a problem.
The good news is as I test the new release I notice that Nokia has done well in reducing the low-memory issue! I can open 8-9 webpages (all the tabs on nokia 770 homepage actually) as well as both the pdf, video and audio app without getting memory warning! And this is without enabeling the swap!

The only think I havn't found a nice way to do yet is adding vi or some other editor... I really think the image should contain an editor, but I want it to be user-removeable if wanted. I don't want to push a specific app on anyone so they must be able to remove it again from the app installer. If anyone have a good explenation on how to do this I'm all ears...

Oh, and it appears my work the last time was well spent. My tools (written for last patch) allowed me to access and modify this image in a few mins. Most of my used time this round has gone into finding nice changes for you all

I actually have a dual-usb power cable that might allow me to plug in a disk to the nokia and see if that can be mounted with the scripts I added. Ideally it will allow you to access your ipod with a simple power-injector thingy.

So, waddya think?

Nice, I mean anything more than that would require a flashed kernel no? I mean there are a few apps there that I would personally like, but I have no idea about that kernel compiling stuff. Also, at this point I would personally appreciate anything you're willing to contribute. I'm sure others will feel the same.

-Edit-

Will the swap on/off feature be able to be configured? Meaning will I be able to use it to turn on and off a 24mb swap created Ravenwolf method?

I was thinking of installing something like Vim or Joe from the current .deb's and diff to see what I need to stuff into the image to make it happen. That way, it can be uninstalled later as if it had been installed on the device after flashing.
I don't know of any other way to do this though. Ideas?

Hmm, as of now the swap is a file called swap on the root of the mmc card.
If the file is missing, it is created.
If it exists, mkswap is run swap enabled.
If it is a folder, it is not touched.
( I thought I'd atleast make it a bit userfriendly. )

I am unsure how one should go about making it configurable though...
Maby I could add a query? I am unsure if you can even do that from the gui running a script... Somehow I'd need to fetch a size so one doesn't have to specify it by editing multiple files. As of now, it's fixed at 16 MB.

How about: If the swap file exists, use it, if not I create a 16 MB... I'd have to read the size of the file, but that's not a problem.

Update:
New swap solution seems to work well...
I removed (really replaced) the media files as they seem to cause a very large change in the file causing the bsdiff to become around 3 MB!
Anyone can delete those two files on their own so it might as well stay in there.
