You should normally have these enabled

    maemo.org
    Community SSU
    Ovi PR 1.3
If you wish to have testing or devel leave them disabled at only use as required
Is there any way to enable FAPman as the default App Mngr? I am having a lot of problems with the default app manager. I have now disabled extras-devel under repositories in FAPman AND APPmanager. I has made FAPman run a little bit faster but default APP Manager is stil slow and has problems. Unfortunately the normal App Manager takes forever to load anything and I can't seem to access sometimes. It works a little bit better maybe without the extras-devel as you said but not by much.

Here is what I currently have in the repos under FAPman. Are these just different names for the same thing that Appmanager has? What do I need to add or remove for FAPman and where can I get it from. I don't see Maemo.org or other things listed in the same way here...

Fremantle ssu apps, fremantle ssu 002, and extras all ENABLED. fremantle1.2ovi and extras-devel DISABLED.

In App manager it is:

Nokia Apps
Nokia SSU
maemo.org
Community SSU
Ovi PR 1.3

As you suggested.

BTW I have Kernel Power but don't overclock as it provides fixes and enhancements see KP wiki.
I recommend Kernel Power without overclock package and this will enable Smartreflex which will make your device work most efficiently.

Are you using the proposed settings in Swappolube and have you saved them?

IIRC Cutetube original version is now not updated only the cutetube-QML version currently, you should use QML version for this package.
I will take your advice in regards to the Kernel Power and will install that as my next step. Swappolube I have done at the recommended settings and have saved them. I will also use Cuteube QML as you suggested.

BTW, where can I get nice backgrounds panoramics of cities or cool graphics. I downloaded some themes that came with backgrounds but they are not in the images folder and nowhere to be found. When I select the theme it does not change the background. A nice panoramic of London or some other place would be nice or a cool animation style one that goes seemlessly between the backgrounds...
