Don't worry I'll zip it and put it in the directory branch, all you need to do is via a computer and paste it in. Merge it with the existing folder and reboot. Done!

Here is the file.
Extract it and keep it inside
"etc" folder
I set the value to 15. So far so good, been using my N900 all day since morning until now and my battery still saying 83%

paste it into your N900 root.

Xterminal:
root
chmod +x /etc/event.d/custom_swappiness

can i do this over the N900 via xterminal? i mean by making a new directory event.d inside /etc and moving custom_swappiness file inside the event.d folder?

I have a similar question, i only have an n900 (no computer) but im not great with cmd line, i much prefer using a file manager currently filebox, i would like to use that but i would just like clarify once ive extracted the file where to put it, do i just paste it in ect/event.d, or do i need to modify something first, or am i way off track?

Thanks

Matt

yes you can. Move the file to event.d folder

Xterminal:
root
mv /path/to/custom_swappiness /etc/event.d

Done!

====

I got to say, first time ever!! Since I've got my N900, that I haven't been charging it last night.
My battery still 36% after 1Day and 10hours

This surely is an improvement. The downside is the RAM usage is about 30MB higher than before but less SWAP usage (77MB).


The device seems snappier and better transitions

So I can basically do this from my N900 as long as I download the file you uploaded onto the N900, and follow these commands above?

So far it still seems like my battery does drain, not as much as before, but still noticeable. Overnight I was at maybe 75%, when I woke up it was down to 30%. =\

hey thanks but i am still having a hard time and winscp doesnt seem to work with my n900 even though i have enterd the correct logins.

i was wondering if u can post some clearer instructions on how to do it step by step (on what to do first, up to last) if possible, it would help alot.

thanks!
