My Conky looks about the same (?) with seven days of uptime.

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

i cant get it to run either, should the OptimizeN900 file have .sh attached when on phone ? and placed in /opt/ ?, reason i ask is i have only folders in my /opt not any files out of folders, also change properties to executable ? im using winscp by the way ...

If you originally put it in /home/user/MyDocs/Download you could move it with:

1. root
2. mkdir /home/opt/scripts
3. mv /home/user/MyDocs/Download/Optimize900 /home/opt/scripts
4. cd /home/opt/scripts/
5. sh Optimize900

You don't need to make it executable or put .sh in the end.

This thread tells me two things:
1. A lot of geeks here. :-D
2. We're thinking that the N900 NEEDS to be optimized, and it's far from it.

(2,900 views in one day).

I normally tend to put all the custom in scripts directory and prefix with "X", so can differentiate that its a custom.
Here is what I did.
If you dont have /home/user/scripts directory, than make it.

-- copy XOptmize.png to /opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon
-- copy OptimizeN900.desktop to /usr/share/applications/hildon
-- copy the original script provided by OP to /home/user/scripts
and then you can place the XOptmize icon in your desktop.

Thanks a lot, finally I have got to make the optimizen900 work on my end...

Good stuff, thanks for this!

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

i read thru this entire post and i have a few questions:

1 - is there a way to set this program up as a button or widget in the ui menu so that we wouldnt have to run it from xterm each time?
2-have you determined that there are indeed no side effects from running this program?
3 - how do you get 15 hours of uptime of your battery?????? i barely get 3 if i am lucky. i do have my internet connection up all the time for email retrieval and i use bluetooth all day as well so i am curious as to how you do it

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

@JorgeFX

so before i do anything, i just want to be sure i understand:

so example i place and extract the file to /home/user/MyDocs/

then i'll just run x-term. type root (or sudo gainroot)

next finally is that good? :)

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900
 

I really appreciate the effort on this same as I do all contributions from developers, but I really don't have any need for it. My present uptime is 16 days and often goes far longer. The phone never slows down and rebooting makes zero performance difference. Maybe I'm just lucky.

But Maemo is Linux and a properly running Linux system should almost never need a reboot. So wouldn't a better approach to fixing slowdowns be to find the actual cause of any performance problems and correcting them rather than glossing them over with a Windoze-style reboot or restarting a slew of services and clearing caches?
