yes it is unzipped so that's why i mentioned "OptimizeN900 file" NOT OptimizeN900.zip

Added the drop cache routines too, for even more optimized memory recovery.

Re on:

You might try experimenting with following command (ran as user, not root):

This is "clean" way of restarting hildon-home (could be also used for other system processes, not sure) and will keep widgets in place.

Otherwise, good stuff, I was thinking something similar myself. Haven't tested it yet, but as my N900 is now ~4 days of uptime, I might give it a shot very soon :)

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

Would it be too much to request you to please post a conky image after 4days of usage?

I wanna compare the swap usage with mine. My phone crashed yesterday (3 days uptime), with 250MB Swap space usage. I could
feel the sluggishness, and was anticipating something like that.

Thanks

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

noob question guys, I keep getting the "cant open" error for this one... I have already backread from the first page of the thread to know if I did miss something, but still the error persists....

what I did was this.... downloaded the file from my desktop... then unzipped it, then I copied the file from the zip to my N900 which is connected through usb on my desktop... I just copied it on the internal memory and not inside any folders whatsoever...

Now when I open xterminal, I first enter sudo gainroot since as far as I know it is how I can run the command as root... so after the sudo gainroot I would enter the command

sh OptimizeN900

and I would receive the error that I cant open the OptimizeN900...

any help guys? Thanks!

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

Screenshot attached, however it might not be the best example, as my N900 usage pattern has recently changed a bit and I don't use it *that* much for time being - especially for general web browsing, which tends to bloat swap space very quickly.

A thing very helpful to determine which apps/processes are leaking memory, ergo bringing performance down are endurance snapshots. I've been collecting these for a while and it was surprising to see some processes so heavily leaking memory over time. Thankfully, some of these leaks were fixed in PR1.2, but some don't and hopefully will get fixed in next firmware release.

Endurance snapshots are bit confusing to setup and start with, but definitely worth trying, I found it very useful at least. http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...5/sp-endurance

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

You need to go to the folder of the Optimize900 script. You could write "find /home |grep Optimize" to find what folder it is in. Then use "cd /to/that/folder/" and "sh Optimize900".
