I don't think it does need a reboot - it just needs the widget removing from the desktop & re-adding, but a reboot is the simplest way to get that across to the average user.

Before running Optimize. The N900 had become sluggish and audio was stuttering.

btw when I ran the script it restarted my theme as well, i was using the Black Plastic theme and it took me back to original blueish water nokia theme, is this a expected effect?

thx for the script, my n900 slows down 80% after a couple of days and its all because of Microb leak, the more i use it the slower the entire system gets.

# will not execute the line
echo 3 > .... drops caches for both 1 and 2

Thanks!:D All your comments make me very happy:)
If you see on this http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=122 You can notice that he had 170.40MB of RAM used (71%), and also 189.93MB for Swap Memory used (12%).
After running the script, he posted this http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=123 and now you can notice that he have 140.20MB of RAM used (58%), and 93.13MB for Swap Memory used (6%).
The script lowered the RAM memory on 18%, and the Swap Memory on 50%, based on the numbers above. Don't know but, I think it is working well:rolleyes:

Only the first post. The other file only adds one line but it is useless on this script, I had tested the script for months and that line by itself does not make any difference, so, in the university told me "if you can do it with 100 line, then DON'T do it with 500 lines, stay simple":cool:

Anyway, this is the first post http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=760387&postcount=1
and this is the other file http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...4&postcount=43

Soon I will be updating the script with some suggestions I have seen, but It may last one or 2 weeks because I have to test every script to the limits to see if after 7, 10 o 15 days of use it develop any problem. So, please be patient. 2 months of test for only one script is a lot, the script is very mature as I posted first, thank GOD. Feel free to try it;) and please write us back with your results and experiences. Meanwhile, as I always say, GOD Bless You ALL!:D

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900

When i run the script it states that it is optimized but in all lines there was also the messages 'nothing was changed or killed'...

Am I doing something wrong?

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900

First, Thank you a lot my friend for the script, I have an idea to make things simpler and easier you could do the following :
Download the script and have in in your Root N900 Folder
excute this command in terminal :

Dont use spaces in what ever you want

Code:

mv ~/MyDocs/OptimizeN900 ~/<whatever you want easy to remember>

then everytime just run the terminal and

Code:

$sh <whatever you want easy to remember>

if you want to get the file back to n900 root

Code:

$mv ~/<whatever you want easy to remember> ~/MyDocs/OptimizeN900

Example :

Code:

mv ~/MyDocs/OptimizeN900 ~/optimize

then I can directly use this command when I open the terminal

Code:

$sh optimize

so this script will get even better?

awesome! i have a 15mb drop of RAM usage when i run the script via QBW.

and my music no longer stutter when the device is on heavy load.

with my normal use, i notice a slight battery life improvement. (but i dont know if that's because of the optimization)

I had this exact problem, it was complaining about empty lines.
I fixed it by editing the file with "Midnight Commader" to correct the bad NewLine/CarrigeReturn charaters. It seems the Linux can get put off by a Microsoft Window style NewLines.
Windows used two characters and Linux/Unix only use one character.
Hope this helps.

Then go into xterm and run the following code

Code:

root

Code:

mkdir /opt/scripts

makes the directory 'scripts' within 'opt'

Code:

cp /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/OptimizeN900 /opt/scripts

Copies the OptimizeN900 file from 'Downloads' to 'scripts'

Code:

chown root /opt/scripts/OptimizeN900

Code:

chmod 4755 /opt/scripts/OptimizeN900

After you've done that you can execute the script by typing

Code:

sh /opt/scripts/OptimizeN900

You can also put this command into alarmed

combined with the above steps, the attached desktop file creates a shortcut for the optimize script!

just extract optimize.desktop file to

/usr/share/applications/hildon

has no icon yet

I wrote a script the refresh several processes like if you are rebooting your N900 but it does not reboot it or causes sudden battery drain like what happens when you reboot the N900.;)

Just open the X-Terminal and run as ROOT:
sh OptimizeN900

I have been testing it and updating it for several weeks and this could be the final script:)

Please be aware that the screen will show weird stuff but it is normal because the ALL UIs and Hildon are restarting.

Here you can see a screenshot from my own N900 running perfectly well after almost 6 days:)

If anyone wants the exact same but quit, here I edited the file, I hope the OP don't mind me to edit! :D Thanks for your effort, this is the edited code!

Code:

echo Your Nokia N900 is being Optimized

killall -q pulseaudio

killall -q trackerd

killall -q tracker-indexer

killall -q browser browserd

killall -q Calendar

killall -q osso_calculator

killall -q camera-ui

killall -q rtcom-call-ui

killall -q modest

killall -q rtcom-messaging-ui

killall -q image-viewer

killall -q osso_notes

killall -q osso-addressbook

killall -q hildon-desktop

killall -q hildon-status-menu

killall -q systemui

killall -q tonegend

killall -q mafw-gst-renderer

echo Your Nokia N900 is now Optimized! ;)

This doesn't tell not found neither process not killed! Just tow lines :D

Here is a screen shot after running it!

Maybe we could add exit command at the end so it exits once everything is done?

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900

If you try the original script, and this one.
The Original Poster Script:
Kills the process listed, but if one of them is not running and not found then it will display a message, that it's not found, and they will be too many lines.
My edit:
It's exact same script but it's doesn't tell you if the script was not found or something else, So then output is the same every time just the tow lines just like the screen shot!

Both do the exact same job! Like there is one poster telling that he received messages telling him that some process not found! I hope you got it.

Again, Both do exactly the same nothing more or less here!

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900

Hey guys nice work. Let me give some input to it.

You shouldn't use killall as many of us have been mentioning. For example, `killall browser browserd` would cause the device to reboot, if you don't believe me try running that command repeatedly.

Therefore, you should really properly restart the processes instead of killing them. The following are some examples for your reference:

Code:

stop pulseaudio

start pulseaudio

sh /etc/init.d/tablet-browser-daemon.init restart

I'm planning to rewrite your script with this idea such that the optimization could be done more safely. Stay tune.^^

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900

okay i started off by running the original file. when i ran it i got the message that there was nothing to kill. if i read into that correctly i would assume that either the programs that the script references are not running and this script is useless to me OR there is something i am doing wrong where the the script isnt hitting on the supposedly open programs that the script references that should be closed to be able to speed the phone up.

i then figured on the most recent file that quits the script after it runs and i suppose that it is still running the script without killing the programs but just closing afterwards.

am i doing something wrong? i saw that another person had similar issue but i didnt see the response. anything on this would help. thanks !!

9000	2010-07-26 07:54

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900

In the process trying a 'safe' way to killing process I literally brick my device by issuing the following command:

Code:

stop xomap

Then I can no longer be able to run anything at all even after rebooting. I've to reflash. -_-

So I guess terminating processes in 'proper' ways is not that safe afterall.

I'll keep researching and update you guys anyway.

2010-07-26 08:07

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900

@q8phantom, thanks!;) This is one good option. For me, I'm better knowing what processes are not restarted because that is how I find useful if one line or another on the script are needed or not. The common for everyone is to have all the processes on this script running for the device to become slow at the point that you want to reboot. THAT is the true need for this script. If anyone do NOT have running much of this processes simply means that you are NOT a heavy user and your N900 is not as useful as you think. Well, that is my personal option

Thanks for your comments!:)
I see, you are living what I lived for 2 months to have this little script done. MAYBE you are right in something, "terminating processes in 'proper' ways is not that safe afterall". In the process you will experience reboots, you'll have to reflash, you will find a script that apparently works fine but after 6 days of use BOOM!! sudden reboot... That is what I lived for 2 months

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900

Stopping the xomap (the X server) should not actually brick your phone, I'd say there was something else fundamentally wrong in play at the time you did this.

Running that command on my N900 simply kills the display, a reboot and all is well again.
