@woody14619
what did you think i am talking about ?
perhaps i should've explained more

so far no problem

break !!
if you checked the latest version you would see that this is in correct
(already posted the changelog few pages behind)
my script check the vfs value and deals with the it
if vfs 100 then cpu_normal is not launched again and again
if vfs 10 then cpu_sleep is not launched again and again

break!!
another incorrect
kernel-power-settings doesn't modify /etc/pmconfig
just tested this :
kernel-config default overclock
.. reboot ... /etc/pmconfig stayed the same
check it by your self

after reading what i said then this is useless

..................
so after reading the newspaper
pmconfig is not used after installing kernel-power-settings and using a preconfigured profile .. isn't this true ? (as you said above)
..................

and about the effective of batterypatch ,, got nothing to say but i have more battery life with it

//EDIT
forgot to tell you how kernel-power-settings work
..IMO (haven't checked the source) but probably
with : echo *** > /sys/device/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/**/ignore_nice_load
for example

finally finally finally

i have finished the new version of speedpatch v3.7
changelog:

* now cgroup uses syspart configs (as freemangordon stated before)
* no xterminal problem anymore (but of course a reboot after installation is needed)
* completely safe installing/uninstalling
* hopefully a more speed is gained

@freemangordon
speedpatch will not effect any future updates of camera-ui2

@woody14619 , actually karam is right this time, K-P-S does not touch /etc/pmconfig

Will you please elaborate more on that.

ok

i have modified /usr/share/policy/etc/rx51/syspart.conf
previously there was an xterminal message error
the reason was because of the configs in syspart.conf which leads to break it and break everything it does

so changed everything needed to work *with cgroup* not to conflict with it

ex :

[partition desktop]
path /syspart/desktop
cpu-shares 6144
#memory-limit 50M
memory-limit 30M

to

[partition desktop]
path /dev/cgroup/cpu/desktop
cpu-shares 6144
#memory-limit 50M
memory-limit 30M

i have also tried several possibilities (wrong configs) to make sure that syspart.conf is used

and tbh i have noticed more smoothness after doing the right modifications

//EDIT
gtg now
will continue later

//EDIT2
forgot to say that you need to wait until it hits the repo

Yes... I did. I was part of the initial testing group when Lehto was creating the first custom kernels for overclocking experiments. I also installed several Titan power kernels when he was the maintainer, and eventually move to Pali's kernels when he took them up after Titan left.

As for "update and new programs and patches", I'm not sure what you're saying.

Frankly, 99% of what battery-patch does is loading one of 3 kernel profiles based on the state of the display, the slider, and call status. It also renices some processes (that's the other 1%) which has a side effect in one of the profiles of not upping CPU speed for those processes. That last bit IMHO is a bad idea and wastes more battery in many common conditions, like indexing new media. That is 100% of the operation of "battery-patch".

ok to get speedpatch before it hits the repository interface

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d..._3.7_armel.deb
