How do you remove this? RM a tuning script in /etc/event.d?

I've noticed a lag, like I have to wake it(N900) up and then it starts working.

It may be effect of low swappiness.

I've been running the swappiness mod for a few weeks, don't think that was it.

bit the bullet and installed new version, after v1 caused me to have to reflash

did a sync and halt... then a reboot. seems fine.

Just remove from application manager or from fapman; or use xterm as root: dpkg -r swappolube.

I'm confused, is laptop mode really a good idea when its optimised for HDD use not flash? I have read a few comments which seems to imply its probably a bad idea.

Hi,

Here is a simple GUI (created with PyQT) that creates the "tuning" file and copies it to the event.d folder.

The first row of checkboxes is to enable the setting. If unchecked it will not write anything for this option.
The second row if checked will give a "1" if not then it's a "0".

Pressing the "Create Settings" button overwrites the current tuning file with what exactly is chosen at that time in the GUI.

I have tested it but please test yourself too.

Attached is the deb you can install using the HAM and will create a blue icon in the applications for you to start it.

If you have simple features/requests I will try to implement but might take time - too busy at the moment.

Enjoy tuning your N900 but beware that these tunings are for brave people only - whiners stay away. :D

EDIT: An uninstall will not remove the tuning file on this version (will fix this later) in the meantime to remove completely open xterm and execute as root:

@Saturn: great work, mate!
Would you mind adding /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure, while we're in experimenting? Default value is 100. It's been researched for the N8x0 by brontide and co. :)

EDIT: on my machine the /etc/event.d/tuning script doesn't get created when I push the save button or when I close the python app.
Also, one useful thing would be having at least two pre-defined configs, i.e. the the default one and the Simon-kaze.daniel-alltimeswerout one, just to start.
