Which is strange, because when I create a desktop file my Icons show up??

A few Question:

1.Are you using any of my previous debs?

2.What's the resolution and name of your icon(s)?(which will tell me where you put them)Edit: And if my desktop file sees your icon

3. lets fix it.. you cant be the only one

Two Request:

1.Are you willing to share your icon? (make things better)

2.Try my attachment please

I have two of them.

The first one is the one I made for the original script.

It's been so long though, I don't know which is mine and which is yours?

On another note, how do I extract and view contents of a deb file without installing?

EDIT: My Mistake, I got it. I called mine Optimize N900

and you called yours Script for N900, a bad name in my Opinion, but whatever.

So basically I did see it, my mistake.

Could be easily changed in next release

Fixed the problem with the icon after installation
but need a solution for the shortcut.

Edit: I'm not to familiar DrLaunch:o does it Launch scripts or shortcuts?(and or both)

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...4&postcount=22

because that's awesome since installing a .deb file is much faster and easier. But anyway, currently using the manual way to install as shown in the link above, just wondering if you're using the same.

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900

That script is really a must-have because I think both MicroB and Modest suffers from memory leaks (html rendering and javascript engine ?)
What is your uptime score now ?? :)
Thanks a lot for that job.

do you mean that everytime we want to use the desktop shortcut, we have to switch the themes back and forth first to get it working?? Or do you mean the first time when we add the shortcut to the desktop and it'll require us to do that, and later on we won't have to, so a one-time setup kind of thing??

And are you using the newest OptimizeN900 script? Because i've read somewhere a few pages back that there's a version 2, just slightly improved i think.

No problem:) I didn't invent the script or the desktop.file I just wanted to make a deb (my first) and "contribute" to the community all props to these guy's JorgeFX, ossipena

Only the first time (if you don't want to reboot) add later i plan to fix that problem altogether (I know it's simple just need some incite)

No, I didn't know ("there's a version 2") if you could be so kind a give me a link I will gladly look in to it :)

My final goal is to upload it to the repositories, and fix the shortcut issue (minor)

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900

hey humble, i tried your file (v6) and it doens't work. I changed the theme, and i can see the new desktop icon, but when i launched it, the status menu on the top kinda gets screwed up as the operator logo shows all the way on the left and the screen shows distortion for a bit. And when i click the menu, it shows "no applications".

Then, all goes back to normal, but no process actually gets killed, so it didn't actually do anything........

i also tried to reinstall again by deleting everything first, and then install as fresh and reboot the device (instead of changing themes this time) and it still shows the same problem.

And now, when i try to install the individual files manually, it doesn't even work anymore whereas it used to. Any ideas?

humble

That is a sign that it is working run this....

Code:

killall hildon-status-menu

It will produce the same affect.

Open browser, contacts, messaging, email and press "Optimize Nokia" these process should be killed.

I have a question for you were you using v2 of of the script?(not my deb)
if so could you give me a link?

Thanks

EDIT: All commands must be run as root

hi humble, it turned out that i misread the post that i thought was the update for the v2 of the optimizeN900 script, but it was actually ur post for the .deb file. My bad :P

So basically, i'm still running the same script downloaded from the first post in page 1. The thing is, i've never experienced any of this problem that i currently have atm, the script just executes and closes and i know it works because i always test the Media Player app, and if it closes/terminates then the script obviously works.

But it doesn't exit at all anymore, and i get those problems as mentioned before.

In fact, when i run the script manually through xTerminal, it showed that most of the processes are not found.

BTW, how come your put the file in this location:

Quote:

Exec=/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/OptimizeN900

i thought ur supposed to put it here instead:

Quote:

/opt/

because the manual way to do it (according to ossipena's post) is put it in /opt/, here's the link to his post here:

So it was a good idea to leave the first one up there:)

Well 0.2 is for those who would like to see the script in progress from a simple "root" "OptimizeN900".
It beats "root" "cd /opt" "OptimizeN900.sh" by one command:D

In BOLD is why i changed it

and i see i answer everyone else's question but no answers mines:mad: GIVE ME A LINK TO v2 OptimizeN900!

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900

what would be the script to run this in ALARMED? does anyone know?

i have sh /opt/scripts/OptimizeN900 as the command execution but it doesnt work :/

if you can even provide a screenshot I would really appreciate it very much !!

Re: Optimize your Nokia N900

okay everyone i figured this one out once and for all so here it is....

for those of you who want to run this script automatically using ALARMED, you do the following:

1 - open ALARMED
2 - hit new event
3 - from the add event menu select COMMAND EXECUTION from the drop down
4 - select the frequency of occurrences from the secondary drop down (every minute, hourly etc)
5 - in the enter name field, call the event Optimize
6 - in the enter command field, enter the following command
sudo sh /home/opt/scripts/OptimizeN900 (assuming of course that you followed all previous instructions in this here thread and placed the executable in that folder)
7 - save the preset and then save the event then close ALARMED.
8- sit back and watch!

a word of interest..... the script will not open and run. Instead it will run in the background and kill all processes that are in the "line of fire" per the script. I was able to test my work by opening a browser window and then minimizing the open apps. I then set ALARMED to run the script every minute to see if it killed any open processes. it did in fact kill the browser window, hence proving to me that the process runs smoothly in autopilot through the use of ALARMED. I then went back and set it to run each AM at 6.

hope this helps!! thank you to all who assisted me on this one. and most of all a huge thank you to jorgefx for putting this script together and to all other people who contributed to this effort.

mad respect and props fo sho!

But I also noticed that pressing the power button does not bring up the menu anymore. Physically it works since pressing it twice locks the screen (setting in Tweaker).

Any ideas if this is related to using the optimize_2 script or just a coincidence? And any ideas how I can reactivate the power key menu without restarting? :o)

I have exactly the same problem .. apparently mce is dying ...

Actually i found out the problem ... If the phone is locked and asking for the password and alarmed run the optimize script , then mce will die. My solution was add a line in the optimize script to stop mce and start mce... its working just fine (Must be run with sudo and be sure the stop and start scripts are in the PATH)

sudo stop mce
sudo start mce
