Re: Using the n900 in 2012
 

Just be careful, have found custom fast transitions from theme customizer can remove some things from your transitions.ini file, editing the transitions.ini with lots of different things can cause the file to become unreadable.

If you feel confident use the hildon-desktop wiki to edit the values manually.

I normally manually change all the big values to 200 or 150.

Also before modifying anything backup.
Even better after a full reflash backup with backupmenu, when you've added your stuff backup again.
You have something to return to if something dies.

Re: Using the n900 in 2012
 

Just performed the emmc reflash and then the rx reflash. (also performed a back up using backupmenu).

Now - steps because I am slightly unclear on yours

1. CSSU
2. KP- 51 - Should i run it at 900mhz and then enable smartreflex or should I just leave it at default clock and enamble smartref?
3. CSSU - Thumb

Re: Using the n900 in 2012
 

Question now is do you want Bleeding Edge (very small possiblity of bugs) or rock solid Stable?


There are two branches of CSSU Stable or Testing.

IMO no overclock, smartreflex and standard clock speeds should come with KP50>. So install just the main KP package and use "out the box". Then see how you get on.

FYI - when you change your setup "CSSU, KP" etc you need to backup with backupmenu again. This is because you need the same system setup to restore the images.
Example you can't restore a CSSU "backupmenu" backup on PR1.3.1 etc.

Re: Using the n900 in 2012
 

I installed Stable CSSU (after a clean reflash) and I was using it one week, but found several bugs and had to reflash again. After intensive use (web with flash, angrybirds, etc), when trying to switch of the phone, it did not switched off but freezed or reset. That happened many times in the night when I go to bed and switch off the phone. After restarting it, the switch off command worked properly.
In addition, the responsiveness of the task switcher menu is not as fast as in the stock system. After showing the task switcher you have to wait a little bit before selecting any of the tasks, or the phone will not respond to your selection (althoug the screen notifies the "tap" with the typical sound). I changed the transitions.ini trying to improve this but without success.

hi guys, the Speed ​​Patch is recommended??. Improving the performance of our n900?

Thansk

Re: Using the n900 in 2012
 

I did not see any improvement before reflashing (I had speed patch installed). Indeed, although I am not sure, I think that some games like angrybirds seem slower (jerky) when this patch is installed. In my reflashed system, I have not installed SpeedPatch and I do not see any drawback.

Re: Using the n900 in 2012
 

The speed patch is a tiny bit of code that messes with the Linux task scheduler. There are many, many opinions about how scheduling should be managed, and no clear winners amongst them; the "speedpatch" merely replaces the default mechanism with one that the author of the code believed was better. Whether it is, in fact, better for you depends on how you use your device; however, given the way that it heavily skews scheduling towards just the user-facing tasks, I suspect that overall performance would actually drop. I want my N900 to perform all tasks in a timely manner, not just the one in current control of the GUI.

(One reason that you can't really multitask on other cell phones is to avoid even thinking about this problem; if you can't run tasks in the background, then you don't have to worry so much about scheduling tasks in the background. It's kind of amazing that people are still today crowing about the ability to run two apps at the same time on Android. I had to cringe when I watched a video demonstrating the upcoming BB10 OS, and one of the highly touted features was that "we will let you run EIGHT apps at the same time!" As if that were something to be amazed at.)

Honestly, if you want to actually run apps faster on the N900, there are only two useful methods. One, you can overclock the processor, to force commands to execute at a higher speed. Two, you can get involved with the remarkable effort undertaken to rebuild the Maemo system using the thumb2 instruction set. The N900's CPU had support for this more efficient command set from the start, but due to a few bugs, it was never used; due to the work of Freemangordon, however, an entire Maemo environment built using this instruction set is now becoming available.

In short, the "speed patch" and "battery patch" stuff is just snake oil. If you want to squeeze every last bit of performance out of your N900, you need to go with the guys who have put the real effort into creating an optimized system...

Re: Using the n900 in 2012
 

I though Smartreflex was unstable above 805+ MHZ. You don't actually need 900 MHZ anyway for normal phone usage. I keep it at 805 with smartreflex.
