The main problem with this script is that it bluntly kills a lot of system processes and applications (without even checking if they're actually running), which itself isn't entirely bad, but is a bit "unclean" way of doing it. There might or might not be side effects of running such mass-killall, so basically ymmv. Earlier in this thread I've suggested better ways of finding out which system processes exactly cause long-term issues with memory and performance, and killing those properly in first place, rather than executing tens of killalls in row.
Tbh, initially I felt fairly enthusiastic about this script, yet finally decided to not run it on my device, as I believe there are better ways of regaining N900's performance.

I ran it once to see if everything returns properly and disabled some things ahead... reboot
Challenge? I challenge you to send me back from future... read again
Oh and when you are done with time-traveling please provide proper battery readings as well... as my battery remains on 0% for about 12h - reboot included... EDIT: found the proper tools

Agreed.
By the way, my uptime is 20.5 days now. I have never been able to go this long before without rebooting.
Thanks for a very useful script! For me it's not so much about saving battery but just saving the inconvenience and "embarrassment" of having to reboot my phone. Phones shouldn't need to be rebooted.
(blah blah blah it's not a phone it's a computer blah blah)

Quick question...
Is this script better than just rebooting the phone? (other than the inconvenience of course!)
thanks

Hi Evad, I understand your point, but I tested your method and it seems to be more unstable. I always lose all my widgets. Can you explain me what that does?
