once again

why you guys making it so complicated

answers

1-)should i remove the alternative patch 1st or can over-right it
yes you should and i mentioned it
in the THINGS MUST BE DONE FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE APPLIED OLD PATCHES

2-)./speedpatch.sh not found
that means you haven't downloaded and unextracted the patch
YOU MUST DOWNLOAD THE ATTACHMENT AND PUT IT IN MyDocs

MyDocs = The place where you see if you connect usb to your N900

For other commands

just copy and paste

3-) Some people asking what does /etc/rc.local do
it activates the patch without reboot
although a reboot is recommended

BTW
Some people managed to get the patch working
why some others don't
this is confusing

PS: Copying the codes is very case sensitive
ex :

./speedpatch.sh (it is correct)
BUT
./speedpatch.sh (will say not found) because i made a space here

Otherwise if still not working for some people
try

sh speedpatch.sh
instead of

./speedpatch
