Hi again,

Please read the relevant threads and wiki pages - there's no need to speculate on things.

In short:
- The no-gui version deletes the changes on uninstall and the gui version has a button to delete the tuning file.

- There is no wearing of components but actually the opposite. Unwanted bahaviour, which really depends on what is being done, is: possible loss of data (because of delayed caching) and random reboots (because one of the settings allows main processes to be killed if take too much resources).

As said before the app is aimed at people which are happy to read and investigate stuff, aka power-users.

Cheers.

Every time you reboot your N900, it boots up with the default settings which is why this file is needed to change the settings to the more optimal values at boot time. Don't worry about it being permanent, this file should be removed when you uninstall swappolube, and you can always check in /etc/events.d to make sure it is. Swappolube should also reset these values back to default when it is uninstalled, but if it doesn't, so long as the file has been removed they will be back to default after a reboot.

So is the events.d.folder associated with Swappolube? So if I uninstall swappolube will it also go away with swappolube !!

No, events.d folder belongs to the operating system. Do not delete it or you will need to reflash to recover.

Use the "Delete Tunings" button and the application manager to uninstal.

Ok so if I uninstall Swappolube via application manager, The file it had saved when I clicked on "Store" while selecting the settings for swappolube even that file will be deleted from the "events.d.folder" ?

And will uninstalling swappolube via Application Manager completely uninstall it, or do I need to uninstall it only using X-Terminal.

You just need more guts to experiment for yourself, which would eliminate at least 50% of all the redundant questions. Being almost impossible to brick and easy to reflash, the N900 is the best device for trial and error operations, if you haven't noticed yet.

Also, by experimenting more and posting your experiences you might actually become a useful member to this community.

I'd agree with Niche. And you should remember that this is a public forum, and that your questions have been answered many times in other posts. Please don't expect to be spoon fed information just because you can't be bothered to invest time in reading/googling/thinking/experimenting.

you either use it or then not. as I've said you have to test it for yourself, I for example surely don't have similar use cases to your ones...

and you are asking questions that end up into highly speculative level with probabilities next to zero and you aren't even wiser now than earlier (except you roughly now know what it does..)

In short: there is no real answer to your question. Go ahead and test yourself or then not.

memory chip wear was just something that crossed my mind. as possible as device catching fire when overclocked: totally impropable but not impossible.

I am pretty sure that nothing unexpected can not happend but never say never....
You're right, it is a bold statement. But I understand what swappolube is doing and the worst case from installing it is that performance gets worse rather than better.

Maybe there is a reason for the stock settings, but unless we get a comment from whoever at Nokia decided on them then the reason may be: These settings seem okay so we'll move on because we have more important things to work on and maybe come back to them later.

what about data losses and random reboots mentioned above?
