Part 2:

Now you can go to the Application Manager.
Install the extra repositories, here is a link that explains far better than me on how to get the extra repositories:
http://www.nokian900applications.com...or-nokia-n900/

Install "rootsh"

Optional, you can look at this one too on how to ad a reboot button in power key menu, I found this very useful.

Optional 2: I use a app thats called "Faster Application Manager" and you install this and use instead of Nokias app handler. I'ts more efficient and faster.

Install "Enhanced Linux kernel for power users v2.6.28-maemo42"

Install "Enhanced Linux kernel for power users (settings) v0.11"

Reboot or restart phone.
Open X terminal and type:
sudo gainroot (press enter)
kernel-config load xlv (press enter)
kernel-config limits - 1000 (press enter)
kernel-config save myconfig (press enter)
kernel-config default myconfig (press enter)

Your phone will now avoid 125 Mhz and work between 250 and 1000 Mhz.
This will be permanent because you saved this settings with the "kernel-config default myconfig" command.

Install "Swappolube v0.4-1"
Start Swappolube and press the button "Proposed" on the left.
Then press "apply" and finally "Store"

You will now hopefully have a happy and stable n900. Hope this have helped you twigleaf1976 and others who have a dodgy phone.

This is some programs I can recommend that I use on my n900 that i find very practical and useful:
fMMS
battery-eye
BlueMaemo
Conky
Theme Customizer
Catorise
Catorise GUI
This one is a bit buggy when you push the test button to test your custom led patterns, but it works and I've used it many times without problems. LED Pattern Editor
eSpeakTime
"This one is VERY useful Flashlight-extra<---- Thanks to Temporal I now now that this program have a nasty bug that adds a "loop" in dbus calling that eats your battery (because it never let the processor stop)."

Hope this have helped.
