well well i have been off for a long while
now just to make somethings clear :

for who are using batterypatch and using KP latest build : edit overclock profile and remove 700 and change 750 to 720
and you will be fine

for who are using speedpatch (and doesn't having problems wih it)
then continue using it, there are no conflicts betwean it and KP

and the only problem than speedpatch may cause is the terminal message
still i can't solve that

and speedpatch doesn't cause unexpected reboots

@maacruz
actually it does assign processes to cgroup
you can check your self
the 1st version of speedpatch didn't do that

please respect my work too

and i don't know why it caused you troubles
anyway after installing speedpatch you and some others may think that moving from A to B as everything in /sysparts is moved to /dev/cgroup doesn't improve anything

but that is wrong
it actually improves multiple things as linus torvalds said

on N900 the most imroved thing are multitask and some other programms EX: transmission, nokia panorama ...etc

hope i made everything clear

Ever since I updated to 16/11 kp49, xorg doesn't seem to wanna settle down. Idle CPU mode is at 250mhz 30% load minimum, xorg is 15% minimum.

Just power-cycle your device, most probably your dmesg log is full with "sgx-recovery" messages

No "sgx-recovery" message in dmesg. And I rebooted the device 3 times already, still the same.

EDIT: Cleared dmesg log and did a power-cycle. Back to normal.

Take the battery out for 30 seconds. Then have a look.

I have been away for a while am well horny about the inclusion of compcache&hd recording. Is there a wiki entry that details the instructions required to get all this cool **** up to date?

OR

Should I just wait for KP49 to hit the repos and take it form there?

Unfortunately, due to Nokians being slow on releasing code of some LGPL'ed binary, + DSP binary part, that we aren't going to have source code for, manual part of installation will be still required. I don't think, that we're going to re-distribute closed source DSP binary - as freemangordon said, it's probably not even belonging to Nokia. People need to extraxt those thing from harmattan rootfs (fixme?).

mmm (me scratches head), let's see
Pali, freemangordon and the rest of the respectable members of this forum, I ask for your forgiveness for going off-topic, this will be the only and last time.

Code:

/tmp $ apt-cache showpkg speedpatch
Package: speedpatch
Versions: 
1.9-5 (/var/lib/apt/lists/repository.maemo.org_extras-devel_dists_fremantle-1.3_free_binary-armel_Packages)

Yes, I suppose this is the last version.
(me apt-get -d install speedpatch)
(me dpkg -x speedpatch /tmp/speedpatch)

Code:

/tmp/speedpatch $ find -type f
./home/user/.bashrc.speedpatch
./home/user/.profile.speedpatch
./usr/local/sbin/cgroup_clean
./etc/event.d/speedpatch
./etc/rc.local

That must be it. Let's look at it.
rc.local -> this just creates the cgroup user directory and sets the cgroup_clean script as release agent
evet.d/speedpatch -> just the same
cgroup_clean -> this just removes an empty cgroup directory
.profile.speedpatch -> this just calls .bashrc as is customary
.bashrc.speedpatch -> mmmm how funny.

Code:

/tmp/speedpatch $ cat home/user/.bashrc.speedpatch
if [ "$PS1" ] ; then
mkdir -p -m 0700 /dev/cgroup/cpu/user/$$ > /dev/null 2>&1
echo $$ > /dev/cgroup/cpu/user/$$/tasks
echo "1" > /dev/cgroup/cpu/user/$$/notify_on_release
fi

This just creates a cgroup for each interactive bash shell opened, and the cgroup directory will be the PID of the shell.
Just like I do in my desktop... to launch cpu hungry processes like kernel builds from the xterm
Of course this does nothing for processes not launched from a xterm.

Let's see what's said in the "speedpatch" thread.

The user won't notice the background stuff going slower, they will just see their app working fast. The patch does this by creating multiple classes of task
-------------------------------------------
/dev/cgroup/cpu/tasks
/dev/cgroup/cpu/desktop/tasks
/dev/cgroup/cpu/applications/tasks
/dev/cgroup/cpu/applications/standby/tasks
/dev/cgroup/cpu/applications/launcher/tasks
-------------------------------------------

LOL. This "speedpatch" does nothing of what it's said in the first post!

It doesn't create any of those cgroups, and of course, it doesn't monitor anything nor moves any process to any cgroup.
It just creates a cgroup for each interactive shell, but how many processes are launched from a shell in the N900?
None. Processes are lauched by dbus from GUI actions.

So, as I said before, all processes remain under the main cgroup, and this "speedpatch" does nothing.
Unless you want to compile the kernel in your N900 or something like that

Ahhh Karam, what a naugty joker you are!

Lol you did that maacruz didn'tchu
I actually investigated it since the beginning and have known that but didn't want to post my findings anywhere not to let down the spirits.

At least you get a placebo!
