Yet another OS2008 HE thread

Just thought I would start another OS 2008 HE on the 770 thread I did not think 3 was enough.
I have gone back an forth over the last week with what OS I like on my 770, I hate that the audio sucks but that might get fixed with the next release ;)

OK to get to the reason I am creating a new thread since I just flashed my kernel with Fanoush's high speed one.

I used this kernel with is reporting the same version number as the existing on in the OS2008 HE release 2.6.16.27

It improved the swap responsiveness tons.

and since the sound sucks I took the chance and started removing services, I think it is safe. :p

Code:

rm /etc/rc2.d/S99metalayer-crawler0

rm /etc/rc2.d/S99mediaplayer-daemon

rm /etc/rc2.d/S99alarmd

rm /etc/rc2.d/S25multimediad

I have only installed OS 2008 repos and everything has worked so far.

If some one were to get the OS to boot off of a high speed mmc then the performance boost would be even better.

Reops I have installed are
Maemo
Maemo Extras
Lancode.de
Debfarm

all from http://www.gronmayer.com/it/

Re: Yet another OS2008 HE thread

Well you should be able to get root either
>with become root
>or open ssh server (my choice)

you should go in the docs folder and remove all the pdfs to make space

place these 2 files 1 2 in the docs folder

as root (in a console) run

Code:

tar zxvf /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/kernel_flasher.tgz

tar zxvf /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/kernel-sdhc-48MHz-3.2006.49.tar.gz

cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/kernel_flasher

./kernel_flash /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/zImage-48MHz

shutdown -r now

NOTE:
If you do not understand what this process is you should not be doing this.
Make sure you have read Fanoush's site and the problems that can come with this.

Re: Yet another OS2008 HE thread
