Done!

I got to say, first time ever!! Since I've got my N900, that I haven't been charging it last night.
My battery still 36% after 1Day and 10hours

This surely is an improvement. The downside is the RAM usage is about 30MB higher than before but less SWAP usage (77MB).


The device seems snappier and better transitions

This is good news! can you check my steps below if im doing it right in xterm:

1. sudo gainroot
2. cp /home/user/MyDocs/custom_swappiness /etc/event.d/
3. root or sudo root?
4. chmod +x /etc/event.d/custom_swappiness
