1 year ago i was bored how slow my phone was. Then i started doing a research how the phone could be faster. Today i find it very fast. I have sailed through all the battery patches and stuff. But these things i have found best. Check out how amazing fast N900 is. Video is pretty old, i dont have cssu installed in it. Its even faster now:

Apply all steps below to get n900 smooth:

1. Reflash new maemo with latest PR + CSSU and if possible reflash emmc too. It makes a big difference if you clean ALL.

- Download Cssu tuner + cssu features, in features put animations to 0. In Cssu features apply blurless meego style.

2. programs to install:

-theme customizer, apply fast animations

-swappolube, with proposed settings, save and store

-tweakflash, Use suggested flash 10 or froyo flash

-tracker cfg (Enable “LowMemoryMode”, Set Indexing Throttle to 10) save and restart tracker, rebuild if wanted

3. overclock. Use latest powerkernel:
- 24/7 850-1100mhz. (i suggest to use default voltages) Check jakimans oc guide http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=774

4. Remove touchscreen vibration and system sounds from settings

-Disable autoupdate (when you connect to internet this is why your phone lags) type to xterm (you dont have to root):

gconftool -s --type int /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval 1440000

5. TIPS

-REMOVE all unnecessary widgets and shortcuts
-REMOVE unnecessary desktops. Im just using 2 desktops and only 2 widgets
-DO NOT install apps you dont really need.
-Clear your sms + call history if really not needed.

6. After all five steps remember to reboot.

Nothing special, but this way my n900 feels fastest.
