I tried using backupmenu and it appears to slow down the device and make it quite stuttery. I made a backup and then uninstalled it and the device was back to normal again. I have installed CSSU, overclocking, custom kernel, transitions mods, and karam's mods, not sure if that matters. Anyone else experienced this?

I got no problems with latest backupmenu. I don't use karam's patches. KP48, CSSU, 500-900 mhz.

Hi guys, i have a problem with the Tools section of BackupMenu. I can't open the Root Shell Command Line from the T option, can you help me? did i missed something? i have not idea about it..
Maybe becouse i'm using the maemo kernel?
Do i have to reinstall the kernel-power?
OK, Update about my question.. it was becouse i used the Maemo Kernel. I used the power kernel and it worked, but in the Command Line i see a message like "battery percentage XX%" it's driving me crazy
a fix for this? thx community

I don't see how that can happen.
Another possability (more likely actually):
I know there's a "fail-safe" in the original Titan kernel that causes it to not load the "default" settings if you reboot the device in quick succession, or if the "last boot reason" flag is watchdog. I think that's still in. Maybe that triggered, and it was "stuttery and slow" because it was using the old default kernel rates? (600 / std voltage?)

As far as default settings... could be. But I don't have any problem with it usually, and the few times I get the PK "default settings have been used" message I just run the kernel-config load *profile* and am back in business.
Yea, yeah, yea. I need to go ahead and do some bugfixes. Eh... shouldn't be too hard, but I'll have to find my maemo extras-devel login password...

So, your backup should work if you restore it AFTER you've made sure you have the same kernel and software. You'll probably need to flash your way out of the reboot loop, install whatever was missing, and redo the restore from Backupmenu. I recently wrote up that process in another thread, which may be helpful at this point.

I got strange issues with backupmenu root console, lately. when I enable it, I see everything correctly and I'm able to type 'root' as login, but as soon as i hit enter, I'm throw back to backupmenu (just like after exiting with exit - I see half-backupmenu + console output of keys pressed). I can try again (or use other backupmenu options), but it doesn't help. 100% reproduceable, on kp48 and kernel-bfs7

regarding http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=882
So if you are still interested in this, better modify charge21.bash from meegochare.tar to point to BackupMenu's i2cset, i2cget binaries. http://enivax.net/jk/n900/
also load bq27x00_battery.ko
And finally either rewrite it to work with sh or add /bin/bash. sh -n at least finds no errors, so it'll probably also work with sh...
It's an interesting idea anyway. Just today a very similiar, but still different one came up in my mind :-).
