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


Repositories

have to come


Setting up the device


Setting up the most important

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 swappolube



improve performance

Tracker-cfg tick lowmemorymode and set throttle to 10 Turn off swap on eMMC, enable on uSD

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

need to be pasted


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 leafpad opera filebox 

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

  1. Fix qchroot for maemopr1.3image so /home/* isn't mounted in chroot
/sbin/qchroot/
