I saw this on twitter today: "HUGE difference in performance when disabling the debug and logging daemons on the #N950."
Anyone know how to do that?

disable dev mode

Is there a way to keep the Terminal & ssh/sshd without the dev mode active?

When I buy the N9 I'd appreciate to keep it running as efficiently as possible, but life without Terminal and ssh would be pointless.

The retail N9 shouldn't have that problem and neither should the n950 once the firmware comes out of beta. Just ignore his suggestion, I am

starting/stopping sshd is done with
Now I needed to get ssh working over 3g but there is an aegis protected script at /etc/network/if-up.d/drop_gprs_to_sshd that prevents gprs connections to port 22. Modifying the file would work but most likely malf the phone.
Frals suggested chmod -x the file so it wouldn't execute could work, but I don't know if aegis would allow that, and I didn't feel like testing, so I just changed the port instead.

To do that just edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and set the port to whatever you want.
You also need modify the AllowUsers line to allow logins from your ip adresses.

I'd expect uninstalling devtools-debug and devtools-logging (through the normal 'Manage applications') to be the correct answer as opposed to completely disabling dev mode.

I do not think a "debug daemon" exists, and I also doubt the logging daemon severely impacts performance on the device (as I have been running it on my N900 for ages, as well as the N950).

Dunno if some other "developer mode" package does something else, though, but I'd also doubt it.

Some video encoding info:

If you want to try to encode something yourself, try this out. 2:03, 58.6M. A full-length movie should fit under 3GB easily
I've gone up to 720p and it plays back great. I seem to get some horizontal streaking that's noticeable in solid-color scenes, which is from the encoder, not the phone. If anybody has a fix for that I'd love to hear it

This is probably obvious, but if you modify the theme to support landscape lockscreen orientation, the wallpapers will be shown on the left half, cropped for a portrait screen. Even setting an image as wallpaper will ask you to crop it. Set a custom wallpaper, then overwrite the image in /home/user/.wallpapers/wallpaper.png with an 854x854 image and you can get full wallpaper in either orientation.
