In this page I post all my snippets of tweak and mods, I made this for the reference of all tweaks I did and might need after a reflash

Setting up the device
Setting up the most important applications
apt-get update apt-get install kernel-power-flasher linux-backports-modules-power recovery-boot busybox-power powertop shortcutd tracker-cfg wpakey-editor powertop sudser phone-control nano-opt gconf-editor procps bash3 swappolube
improve performance
- Tracker-cfg tick lowmemorymode and set throttle to 10
- Use proposed swappolube settings, except swappiness should be 50
- Turn off swap on eMMC, enable on uSD (use ereswap)
Boot script placed in /etc/event.d/iosettings
These settings are mixed swapolube and freemangordons settings.

- Installing handy tools
apt-get install conkylayoutswitcher flashlight-applet alarmed ssh-status clipman led-pattern-editor cl-launcher macchanger hostmode-gui extkbd extmou easy-deb-chroot extended-contacts-search gconf-editor less simple-brightness-applet
- Installing some garbage I like to use
apt-get install aircrack-ng stkeys brainparty cutetube-qml dosbox supertux-stable frogatto colorflood pierogi telepathy-msn-pecan leafpad opera filebox irggu
Personalizing the device
- Install widgets and themes
apt-get install awoken-icon-theme black-plastic-theme plastic-addon-pack-1 cal-home-widget connectnow-home-widget queen-beecon quick-launch
- Make the FMTX applet always visible
gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/maemo-statusmenu-fmtx/always_visible -t bool true
Tweaks
- Use sudo while already root. Sometimes when I am root I still type sudo in-front of a command and it spits out the help of sudo. This will add root to sudoers and solve that. Not very useful but it's a small and convenient tweak
sudo gainroot echo "user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >> everybody.sudoers echo "root ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >> everybody.sudoers mv everybody.sudoers /etc/sudoers.d update-sudoers
Chroot
- When using a Maemo 5 PR1.3 qchroot /home/opt/ from the real maemo installation is mounted which results in a big mess. So we need to edit the qchroot to only mount MyDocs and not the whole /home/ folder
#/sbin/qchroot/ Comment out line 82 81 # Do it the Fremantle way. 82 # mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 "$CHROOT/home"
- pymaemo-optify works not as expected while it's one file system instead of 3 partitions.
To fix this install pymaemo-optify first Then mv /etc/event.d/pymaemo-optify /etc/eventd.d/pymaemo-optify.bak mv /etc/init.d/pymaemo-optify /etc/init.d/pymaemo-optify.bak
Fix Wifite.py
sudo sed -i "s/(prefix='wifite')/(prefix='wifite',dir='\/opt\/tmp')/g" /home/user/MyDocs/MyScripts/wifite.py; sudo if [ ! -d "/opt/tmp" ]; then mkdir /opt/tmp; fi
