I use CSSU Thumb sicne day one when it was released and it works ok for me.

working perfectly for me buh it seems not to support custom operator name applet and widget...besides that...great work...keep d flame burning......

As I mentioned in the gcc-4.6 thread, I've built scratchbox toolchains for the Maemo5 SDK based on Linaro 4.6/7-2012.06, they're available here:

http://www.snewbury.org.uk/maemo/lin...armv7a.tar.bz2
and
http://www.snewbury.org.uk/maemo/lin...armv7a.tar.bz2

Just unpack into "/scratchbox/compilers", and they'll appear in the list when setting up a target.

This should make it much easier to setup a CSSU-thumb SDK with a modern toolchain, since the previous gcc-4.6 toolchain had some issues, particularly with libfakeroot.

Additionally the Linaro versions are reputedly much better at generating ARM code than mainline GCC.

would be nice to see some comparisons of apps compiled with freemangordans existing compiler and the linaro one.

Hi all! My very first post in maemo.org! Well, it's been 6 months that I have n900 and I kept having a look around trying to keep this thing always up to date.
So, I had KP50 installed, I restored Nokia original kernel and then updated to CSSU-thumb2. Everything is working fine until now, but I had only few hours testing.
I wanted to ask just a question: as I saw on the first page that kernel-config v14 is not supported, is there another way to overclock the device? I feel a bit limited working only at 600Mhz.

Btw, I'm a total noob in this matter. I can be only a tester, reporting crashes and so on.

Thanks for your work!!

Wait for a new release or hack the package yourself.
1.Extract the package from this page http://repository.maemo.org/extras-t...0.14_armel.deb to some empty folder, named 'kernel-power-settings_0.14.0-dirty',
2.Change to the ' DEBIAN'-folder inside the extracted content and edit the 'control'-file with nano or leafpad,
3.Go to the Depends line and remove the 'kernel-power...' part or replace it with the corresponding names for kernel-cssu packages,
4.Open your X-Terminal and change to the directory, that contains the 'kernel-power-settings_0.14.0-dirty' folder,Install the package

Performance does seem quite a bit better with the newer compilers, no hard numbers yet, and we can't yet standardise on linaro-4.7 (which has a lot of NEON code generation improvements) until a bug that's preventing qt4 from being built is fixed.

Hopefully, with the enhanced performance, people will see less need to overclock and can get a bit more life out of their prized devices.

I've put up a mainline gcc-4.6.3 build on the server now too. We'll probably be using this for CSSU-thumb for at least a couple of weeks since there are separate bugs in both Linaro compilers preventing qt4 from building successfully, and I think we may as well jump straight to 4.7 once it's proven to work.

Seems hazardous, but I could give a try. Afak, it's just a configuration file I can then remove using FAM (or atp-get in case), or am I totally wrong?
Btw, I read a guy writing somewhere in the internets that changing dependencies will invoke Godzilla to burn my device down! Worth the risk.

Did it. changed the dependencies from kernel-power-flasher to kernel-cssu-flasher and the same for the bootimg, repacked and installed. Everything working until now (dsp enabled, overclock to 900 with smartreflex on).
I didn't notice a sudden change (like I noticed after having installed cssu-thumb). I didn't do any benchmark test, so I'm not really aware of the improved useability.

ps: maybe overclocking it's not this complex as it seems to me and the thread starter will find my experience useless (or maybe not).
