totally disabling the tracker from running improved my battery life by at least 10% -15% or more. my n900 does not index / watch any of the directories now...

How do you disable the tracker?

the file is in the folder below, sudo gainroot first

/home/user/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg
open it up in vi or leafpad or any text editor you prefer.

you will see a lot of entries that you can set to TRUE or FALSE. its all in plain english.

Added on July 23, 2010, 5:43 pmof course you will need a reboot after saving the tracker.cfg file.


Added on July 23, 2010, 5:44 pmyou can do "killall tracker-process" but killall is not a healthy command... like end task of windows...

only use it when programs crash for example, cos it will just kill the process / program and not saving the settings / state.

Thanks.

will try it now.

Regarding the AngryBird, previously i have got a HHmmm.. version, which allowed me to play level 1, 2 and 3, total about 60 over puzzles. But i do not have "Mighty Hoax" or "Poached eggs", and i googled the "Mighty Hoax" and "Poached eggs" puzzles screenshot, it is different with what i have. How many puzzle in total in this "Mighty Hoax" and "Poached eggs"? Thinking to buy from OVI, this is really a very addicting game.

okay, seems the numbers of puzzle still the same. 21 puzzles each, but the new version looks more interesting. Thanks for the info.

sorry if i made you guys feel bad. I have that feeling too because i love my N900 as much as you all.

Put your hand on this device and you will understand what i am trying to say.

Yes, the spec for this samsung is higher, 1 ghz cpu, 512mb RAM, that is why it is fast. I overclocked my N900 to 950Mhz already....

Want to try NITdroid also,

installed already then can revert back?
*
You can do dual boot. Install the Nitdroid into your micro sd card. You need to repartition your micro SD card to 2 gig of ext file system, and the rest to Fat. For me, i have a 16gig sd card so i did 2 gig for android and 14 gig for fat file system. The most important part of the phone -- GSM not working, so sad.

You can revert back by flashing it with the Maemo PR1.2. I have tried that, it works.

guys....errrrr...another noob question from me...is there any ways to flash this n900 without losing all those apps and the setting inside? is backup can help with this?
*
backup can help in this case, but not 100%. You may find some of the applications go missing and you need to install back by your own. After you have restored from backup, you need internet connection so that the N900 can download the applications that you have previously. The setting of applications stay.

just curious what did u load into your 32GB  until u need a micro sd card?
*
i bought this 16gig micro sd to try the dual boot nitdroid. A bit disappointed because the nitdroid is kind of slow to run in micro sd.

The 32gig internal memory still plenty of free.

Anyone successful dual boot android?

I have tried manual and autoinstaller for many times. But dont know y i cant seem to repartition the 8gb memory card.

Any advice?? or some 1 here can help me to get this android working on my phone....many many thousand thanks
*
You need to repartition your micro SD card, can do it with your N900. If you have a 8gig, make it 2gig - 6gig. 2 gig partition format to ext3 for android used, linux partition, and the 6 gig format it to FAT, so that you can store your files here.

Follow the guide here:

Added on August 9, 2010, 2:24 pmTried nitdroid with flash 10.1, youtube video HD 0.005 fps, slow like snail.

My nitroid is using max speed 1000mhz
As for the fullscreen issue do this:

A) Firstst of all, you need to be on maemo 5 and have a text editor such as leafpad (my preferred, more user friendly than vi) installed.
run a xTerm session

1] type:
sudo gainroot
mount -t ext3 -o noatime,rw /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and


2] open the file build.prop in a text editor. if you have leafpad installed type:

leafpad /and/system/build.prop

3] in the file
search for the line "f.lcd_density=160"
and replace it by "f.lcd_density=240"

4]after that save it by clicking the upper contextual menu

exit leafpad

exit xTerm

reboot your device and voilaaaa !

B)If you want to to allow nitroid to OC :

1] first download this file
http://downloads.nitdroid.com/power.conf

2] next u need to mount the  nitdroid partition in maemo

3] Open Xterm

4] type:

sudo gainroot
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
cd /and/system/etc


5] transfer the power.conf file that you downloaded into this folder
6] now u need to edit /and/init.nokia.rc and remove the cpu scaling lines :
( remove the entire #power management section )

7] if your using leafpad, type :

cd /and
leafpad init.nokia.rc


8] remove the section of text below:

# Power Management
write /sys/power/sleep_while_idle 1
write /sys/power/enable_off_mode 1
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor ondemand
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq 250000
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold 86
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate 46875
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq 250000
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq 600000
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_governor ondemand


9] save the file and next time u boot nitroid it will be OC'd


Added on August 9, 2010, 4:44 pmFor those interested in dual booting nitroid, refer

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=58890

it has the most up to date installation method. however u need to check post number 2 for the latest nitroid build, 0.0.6


Added on August 9, 2010, 4:49 pm
bro take a look at the link in my post above. if u get stuck drop me a line, its not as hard as it looks.
on another topic, anybody using the 'Shorctcutd' app?  It allows you to set proximity sensor and camera button to for opening, phone, desktop commands, and even enable 'crtl+shift+r' for enabling autorotation, wink.gif

Thanks. i will try now.
