Revision as of 20:36, 23 April 2012

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 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

Boot script placed in /etc/event.d/swapusd

start on started hildon-desktop
stop on starting shutdown
console none
service

script

sleep 60
swapon /dev/mmcblk1p2
swapoff /dev/mmcblk0p3

end script

• 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

• My transitions.ini based on dragoss91 smoothest transitions.ini

# This file contains timings and values for transitions in hildon-desktop
# duration = time in milliseconds
# zoom = amount to zoom out the background. 1 = none, 0.5 = zoom to half size
# radius = radius of blur (this is actually the number of blur iterations,
# so the bigger the number the longer it takes)
# saturation = the amount of colour left in the background (0 = grey, 1 = normal)
# brightness = brightness of the background (0 = black, 1 = normal)

# -- zoom_duration: the number of miliseconds to spend on zooming

# -- radius_more: amount of iterations of blur filter to perform when zooming
# eg. for launcher/task navigator
# -- saturation: saturation of the background when blurred
# -- brightness: brightness of the background when blurred
# -- zoom: Basic amount to scale the home view by (gets multiplied by how many
# 'levels' deep the UI is - eg. launcher is one level, launcher submenu
# is another)
# -- zoom_applets: Amount to scale applets by when zooming out
# -- zoom_on_press: set to 1 to include a zoom effect when the screen is pressed

# The items below are for the transitions that are applied

# -- duration: time in ms
# -- depth: amount to move icons backwards and forwards (with perspective)
#           this is pretty much how big or small the icons get     
# -- sequenced: for in and in_sub, whether icons swoop nicely in (1)
#               or whether they just all zoom in as one (0)
# -- keyframes: A list of values that are linearly interpolated between 
#               to produce the movement of the launcher tiles. There can 
#               be any number of values as long as there are 2 or more. 
#               <1 means nearer the viewer, >1 means further away
# -- keyframes_label: The values used for fading in the labels. 0=transparent
#                     1=opaque

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
