Needing some advice Should I upgrade to cssu?
 

Hi I have not long got my n900 and it came with pr 1.3.1 the final one from Nokia. I want to know is cssu better is it a continuation of the last official Nokia firmware or is it something totally different?I really love my Nokia n900 and really look after it like a baby hehe also is it a easy process and would you recommend stable or testing what's the difference.Well hope my questions get answered so I can get cssu on and join in on the fun thanks in advance.

Yes, You should. As for version, if You're not sure, better stay with Stable.

oh... one of those threads again

Re: Needing some advice Should I upgrade to cssu?
 

personally i installed CSSU (stable) a few weeks ago and have the impression the performances deteriorated :(
then again, i didn't bother installing any of the other tweaks (advanced stuff, desktop kernel aso.) but i didn't have that on the PR 1.3.1 neither...

ymmv...
good luck!

Mmm who would say it is more stable than the last official Nokia update.

welcome to the N900 club! You are late to the party but there is still plenty of beer left, although all of the chicks have long gone (except trisha, but she is mental).

For maximum enjoyment:

1. COMPLETE reflash. Rootfs AND eMMC. Read the wiki page, it looks hard but it is actually piss easy.

This ensures you are starting from a fresh N900 with no hereditary problems from the previous owner.

2. Enable extras and testing repositorys. Again read the wiki, it is easy.

3. Install power kernel.

This allows overclocking + mega battery life and gives your N900 super powers.

4. Install CSSU, consider it PR1.4.

This cool stuff like recording/watching 720p video.

5. Install backup menu and work out how to use it.

6. ?????????

7. Profit!


People here will fall over themeselves to help you, write scripts and stuff. We are the nerdiest of the geeks, we make android nerds look like chavs. All you have to do is show that you have searched/tried to resolve your own problems first.

Woe'betide not trying though less you want pimp slapped up side the ego by Jedi (who is a thouroughy nice bloke, just clearly agitated by blatant noobery).

Do we have to install power kernel first or can it be done after cssu install.

Re: Needing some advice Should I upgrade to cssu?
 

I'd suggest you also consider installing CSSU-testing (It really is stable) , Power Kernel v50 (newest one) and overclock your n900 to 900mhz/1000mhz (search jakiman's guide)
