To answer your question:

I confirm it works.

As far as I've been reading from the discussions here, the N900 with the leaked PR1.2 firmware installed can use the code as well. Correct me if I'm wrong.

"The device can sometimes be slow and unresponsive."
It's mainly due to the architectural design of ARM. As you may know, ARM changes its freq according to load, and that behavior might affect the user experience on a multi-tasking OS (thus my answer in #43).

You might get a better user experience by changing its default scaling governor:

Code:
sudo sh -c "echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor"
The above would cause the CPU runs at max. freq. regardless of load. To revert to default, you can type:

Code:
sudo sh -c "echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor"
"The phone cannot say the name of the caller."
I've the caller display working here. I'm not sure if this function is firmware specific (couldn't find related discussion on this atm), and I'd like to know if the leaked firmware PR1.2 has this function too.

"You cannot have custom ringtones for each caller."
I wrote a script for the purpose. Thus my answer in #43. Of course, if the questioner excludes solutions from 'third-party' (which apparently he does), then his point would hold.


I'm also anxious to know the different between the leaked PR1.2 firmware with the firmware on Hong Kong stock verion of N900. Because at time of speaking, I still cannot get hold of the Hong Kong version PR1.2 firmware, so in case I bricked my phone for some reason, I'd have to send back to Nokia for maintenance, or tried the leaked PR 1.2

Hope this help. ^^
