HELLO Everybody
A lot of you must have heard about the 200 lines to speed up linux while blackhat announced 4 lines to do that
anyway neither of the available tutorials on internel are working on N900
BUT For Fortunately i was able to apply it to maemo 5 on N900!!!!!
You will notice a lot of improvements in hildon-desktop
ex: faster multitask , faster contacts scrolling , faster images scroling
and basically every thing will be improved
Now the script is not made by me
all what i did is modified it a bit to work on maemo 5
PS : it is recommended to use good transitions.ini although it is optional to use
Download the patch.tar.gz from attachment it contains the patch and the transitions
place it in MyDocs
Then enter CODE :
sudo gainroot
apt-get install bash
tar xzvf /home/user/MyDocs/patch.tar.gz
cp cgroup_patch /home/user/
chmod +rwx /home/user/cgroup_patch
/home/user/cgroup_patch
chmod +rwx /etc/rc.local
chmod +rwx /usr/local/sbin/cgroup_clean
/etc/rc.local
DONE
And For transitions file (OPTIONAL)
cp /home/user/MyDocs/transitions.ini /usr/share/hildon-desktop/ # if you are using stock themes
if not then replace /usr/share/hildon-desktop with the path of your theme in my case
cp /home/user/MyDocs/transitions.ini /usr/share/themes/Blue-sky/
DONE
NOTE: the transistions file has thp tweaks also parallax and zoom_on_press under [home] section
YOU may not feel changes until reboot
but probably you will feel before as it happened with me
Enjoy
Please give feedbacks
LAST NOTE:
IF you didn't think the patch worked or did anything don't worry it will not affect anything
EDIT!!:
JUST to make sure no problems occure open a terminal window and type
(as user)
bash
(as root)
bash
then exit

All times are GMT. The time now is 16:00.
This Guide Has 5 Parts :
1: Speed Patch : To speed up N900
2: Battery Patch : To Have A long battery life
3: Battery Patch Non KP : For non kernel-power users
4: FAQS : Frequently asked questions about batterypatch
5: Tweaks : To make you enjoy N900
Part 1: Speed Patch
INFO
A lot of you must have heard about the 200 lines to speed up linux while blackhat announced 4 lines to do that and it is called miracle patch
anyway neither of the available tutorials on internel are working on N900
BUT For Fortunately i was able to apply it to Maemo 5 on N900!!!!!
You will notice a lot of improvements in hildon-desktop
and basically every thing will be improved
CURRENT VERSION : 4.0
What Does It Do
The CFS (completely fair scheduler) in our phone's kernel manages the allocation of resources (cpu/mem) between tasks.
It was designed to cope with server-class machines such as web servers and databases, giving all tasks equal access to resources.
This means if a server is really busy, then all tasks on the machine slow down equally.
Desktop/mobile class machines shouldn't work the same way as servers though.
They have a human user who expects the machine to respond and give feedback within a certain time.
If a machine is slow to respond, the user loses some sense of control over the machine.
This patch addresses the problem by taking note of what the user is doing right now, and using that information to accelerate the current task, and decelerate other tasks on the system.
The user won't notice the background stuff going slower, they will just see their app working fast. The patch does this by creating multiple classes of task
-------------------------------------------
/dev/cgroup/cpu/tasks
/dev/cgroup/cpu/desktop/tasks
/dev/cgroup/cpu/applications/tasks
/dev/cgroup/cpu/applications/standby/tasks
/dev/cgroup/cpu/applications/launcher/tasks
-------------------------------------------
If you look at the contents of these files, you'll see the process IDs of all the tasks in each class. CPU and memory are shared out to these classes using the files "cpu.shares", and "memory_limit_in_bytes".
When lots of tasks are demanding CPU/memory at once, the resources are handed out to tasks depending on their share.
This is why your phone feels nicer when you have this patch - the kernel automatically classifies tasks and devotes more of cpu/mem to the "application" and "desktop" class tasks, and much less to other classes like "standby".

To remove the patch:
------------------------------------------------------
Part2 : BATTERY PATCH
INFO
This Tweak Improves The Battery Life of Our N900
For Standby And Continues Time Of Usage
CURRENT VERSION IS: 8.2
Compatible with all KP versions
When device is locked : or system is inactive or the brightness is off (except when having a call)
1-) vfs_cache_pressure goes to 10 : it's proven that doing this saves a lot of battery on standby
2-) change to underclock profile : vdd1 vdd2 enabled, (but with KPv48=> only vdd1 enabled) powersave_bias=20
3-) renice 1 some processes
4-) improve the response when receiving a call by changing MINFREQ to 600 but it returns to 250 after answering the call .. so no OC while talking with N900
5-) pausing some processes that sucks battery in idle mode (TESTING)
When the device is unlocked or the brightness is on
1-) vfs_cache_pressure goes back to 100
2-) overclock profile is loaded : vdd1 vdd2 enabled, conservative mode and powersave_bias=20
3-) renice 0 the previous processes
4-) Continue of the paused processes (TESTING)
Extra Feature
Someone may say "i don't want my N900 to use underclock profile and pause some processes when i lock the screen because i'm downloading a large application to install it"
Solution is :
Open the keyboard, lock the screen and leave the keyboard opened
in that case batterypatch is temporary disabled
so locking the screen will activate it's features
Dependencies
dbus-scripts, kernel-power-flasher | kernel-power-bootimg, kernelpower-settings
Installing Battery Patch
Uninstalling Battery Patch
Part3 : BATTERY PATCH Non kernel-power users
INFO
This version is for people who doesn't use kernel-power
This Tweak Improves The Battery Life of Our N900
ONLY ON STANDBY
UNLIKE THE Battery Patch Full version
CURRENT VERSION IS: 6.0
When device is locked : or system is inactive
1-) vfs_cache_pressure goes to 10 : it's proven that doing this saves a lot of battery on standby
2-) renice 1 some processes
When the device is unlocked or the brightness is on
1-) vfs_cache_pressure goes back to 100
2-) renice 0 to the previous processes
Dependencies
dbus-scripts
Installing Battery Patch Non kernel-power users
Uninstalling Battery Patch Non kernel-power users
There are also 2 extra packages in devel:
1-batterypatch for unstable devices : for those who have really unstable N900s (current version is : 3.0)
2-batterypatch testing : just like the normal batterypatch but includes new unstable tweaks (current version is : 7.1)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CHECKING
1. To check if Speedpatch was installed Correctly:
Open an xterm window
if no errors appeared that means speedpatch is applied
or
-------------------
2.To check if Battery Patch was applied :
Then
If so then the patch is applied
PART4 : FAQS
1-)
Q-) I cannot change max frequency with qcpu or any other gui cpu freq changer!!!!
A-) To change the max cpu frequency you need to edit the max freq at :
/opt/batterypatch/profiles/overclock-new #(if using kernel-power 49 or newer) with any text editor
or
/opt/batterypatch/profiles/overclock-old #(if using kernel-power 48 or older) with any text editor
ex : Leaf Pad
IMPORTANT !!! IF YOU HAVE AN UNSTABLE N900
IT'S RECOMMENDED TO DISABLE VDD1 ... CHANGE IT TO 0
IF YOU WANT TO OVERCLOCK MORE THAN 805
AS BATTERYPATCH MAXFREQ IS 805
Then reboot to take effect
(YOU CAN TEMPORARLY CHANGE THE SPEED BY EDITING THE OVERCLOCK FILE IN /usr/share/kernel-power-settings
BUT IT WON'T BE SAVED UNTILL YOU EDIT THE ONE IN /opt/batterypatch/profiles
2-)
Q-) My N900 shows low battery and when i lock the phone and leave it idle ..the battery bar will rise up again
A-)N900 will recalculate the remaining battery charge according to the way using it
.. if you are using N900 in a heavy way then battery bar will show less than leaving N900 on idle mode
3-)
Q-) My N900 shows temperature UNKNOWN in qcpu !!
A-) This is a kernel problem .... rebooting will solve it
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PART5 : TWEAKS
1-) You may try hardware accelerator wich will make hildon-desktop smoother
BUT it is known to be unstable so if it caused any hildon-dekstop crashs or reboots simply disable it
To enable it :
use any text editor to edit /etc/powervr.d/hildon-desktop.ini and change WSEGL_UseHWSync=0 to WSEGL_UseHWSync=1
so :
IMPORTANT: if you was very unlucky with HWsync you may have to reflash Your N900
because it may cause a reboot loop
otherwise it is stable to use on 80% of N900s
------------------------------------------------------
2-) And you may also want swappolube and it's proposed values
to install it
------------------------------------------------------
3-) And you may also want tracker-cfg and lowmemory mode (will make tracker use less CPU and Memory wich will improve the speed a bit)
install it :
Then save and exit
------------------------------------------------------
4-) And ApMeFo app wich organizes folders your menu(try to reduce the shortcuts by putting them in folders) this will improve transitions
to install:
5-) And installing CSSU with it's nice modified hildon-*
for installing it
http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU
------------------------------------------------------
6-)Also kernel-power is recommended
to install it :
7-)A great app called "Task-Swapper"
which allows To Easily Switch Between Opened Windows Without Passing Through Dashboard (Ctrl+Right or Ctrl+Left)
to install it:
IF YOU DID ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS CORRECTLY
You should have a really fast and smooth N900
BTW The Tweaks Are All optional But For the best result Apply Them All
Enjoy
