Still ?

Grow up, both of u

Hello,

I just discovered these patches and I had some of them installed already long time ago, but the speed and battery patches was something new. I installed them both and they work fine and improve phone snappiness considerably, but I got a problem. Uptil now, I was using my N900 OC'ed to 950 max contantly using qCPU. I am currently on Kernel Power 51r1. Now after installing the battery patch, I realized that the max CPU freq was limited to 805. I followed the instruction in the first post to change it in the 'overclock-new' file and rebooted, but nothing changed. Tried it a couple of time, disable smartreflex vdd1 vdd2, even uninstalled and reinstalled, but the damn CPU freq stays locked to 805. I also wanted to lower the min freq to 250, which I also changed in the 'overclock-new' file, and nothing happened there either! Does any1 have any solutions? Thanks!

reflash! Don't use *patch

Those who actually *do* understand what those patches do, strongly deprecate them.

These patches havnt done anything wrong on my N900. Plus speedpatch really improves performance. And also who ever wants to install these patches let them decide by themselves.

It forces a 805 overclock seemingly without warning, it's bound to feel snappier than stock.

If you have looked/understood the sources you will understand why good devs strongly deprecate it.

Also bear in mind kernel-power has changed a fair bit since this package was up dated and it depends on it.

Edit:-

Please note highlighted by recent issues, I have serious concerns about the following packages.

batterypatch:-
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...terypatch/8.2/
This package is currently in extras-devel

*Sets a fairly agressive overclock to devices after installation, only warning of this is in details/description section.

*Potential damage to system components via an application is a serious security risk and blocker.

*Doesn't un-install cleanly and leaves residue in root.

*This package checks for kernel-power version, before setting it's clock speeds, only kp versions 40-48 are checked.

*Batterypatch kernel-settings are reloaded at stop/start hildon-desktop, so can cause lag if h-d restarts (large upstart script).

*debian/coyright file doesn't contain "a verbatim copy of its copyright information and distribution license"

*Some above issues do not conform to Debian Policy manual version 3.7.2.2 of which Maemo is based on.

speedpatch:-
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...peedpatch/4.0/
This package is currently in extras

*Modifies /syspart without warning which has potential to damage future installed packages.

*Uses it's own version of /syspart as a stock reference which could cause issues even after removal.

*Doesn't un-install cleanly and leaves residue in root. One obvious example is /etc/event.d/speedpatch is still there after uninstallation.

*There are multiple negative QA votes from respected members of the forum explaining issues, which have not been addressed/answered before promotion.
I doubt the positive QA voters have tested the package correctly, most have no Karma. Also I feel it has been promoted unfairly.

See QA vote by freemangordon CSSU developer below.
*debian/coyright file doesn't contain "a verbatim copy of its copyright information and distribution license"

*Some above issues do not conform to Debian Policy manual version 3.7.2.2 of which Maemo is based on.


Due to information complied above these are deemed unstable and will be added to the known broken packages list.

I think it would be a great idea from cenior developers to help fixing and modifying what's needed be modified or fixed., instead of dumping a 2 years old programs for some reasons without considering it's goodies right?

As I can't help anymore because I don't own an N900 right now..

Thank you for your effort.

@*sixwheeledbeast

Speedpatch doesn't force 805..
Batterypatch does so.. And it has a warning of that in the description
As for kp versions. U are right it only checks some versions.. However as I remember correctly.. Other versions doesn't need to be checked because they use the same over clock scheme

Correct I have been though all the sources and tested the package, hence the critical bug report above.

I was refering to the previous post were the user had a 805Mhz overclock and didn't know how to fix. This user had installed both packages.

Hi guys! Whats wrong with speedpatch? It's working with no issues with cssu-thumb and devel for me.

mmmmmm, cliffs?
