If you want IM on all the time and you don't want to eat your battery up, install the 2G/3G switcher applet and set it to 2G when you're not using the internet for anything else. Will save a lot of battery power.

I changed swappiness from 60 to 30 and cluster-size from 5 to 1 and the device won´t get pass the 5 dots. Just keeps loading something... Maybe the cluster change causes a KP or something? Actually the phone got into a reboot loop just now. hmm weird. Could be a power-kernel problem with the settings?

Probably \r\n instead of \n...
Thats a good reason to go buy yourself a Galaxy S though (;

What does that bolded part mean?

Would love it if Nokia replaced my bricked device with a galaxy epic. Or better still a galaxy tab

Hehe, The bolded part...

Text / Ascii characthers, like the ones inside rcS file you edited are stored in files, when you enter 5 lines into that file, the editor you are using automatically adds special chars at the end of each line that are interperted as end of lines, or new-lines.
Pressing the Enter key actually does that, you press enter, the application adds \n (linux) \r\n (windows)

Code:
1234
abcde
1234
abcde
In the above peace of "code" there are 4 lines, each of the 1st 3 lines end with an invisible new-line char.
Linux uses \n (0xA in hexa) and windows uses \r\n (0xD0xA).
When you copied the file over winscp, and opened it on WINDOWS with some editor, the editor probably change all the \n occurrences to \r\n occurrences. Then you copied it back to the N900,
the n900 is trying to read that file, and says to himself "WTF??? what the hell is this \r\n, this is not for me... i'll reboot."

Why does linux use \n and not \r\n? the same answer for the question : "why does windows use \r\n and not \n?"...

Why does N900 fail to read that? cause it's linux.
Next time, use VI.

For further reading about this... Wikipedia

I'm sure Nokia will be pleased to give you a samsung galaxy s, or tab, right after they give me one

I believe you screwdup the encoding of the file... edit it in the phone, it's very easy, you'll replace 100 to 10 or so, and 5 to 1 on the swapiness and page-cluster, it VERY EASY!

Install leafpad and you're ready...

Sorry if it's, indirectly, my fault... I haven't put the step by step tutorial, just hints...
Hope you get your usb back, then will be easy to get it back!

I've tried to do it via Python but so far unsucessful, due to the file is strictly unmodifiable by python.

I try echo it through python but failed badly.

Anyone give me some advise on how to get this work with python at start up?
