I love listening to feature requests

reasonable feature requests

I've been off of this thread for a while so I'm trying to read some posts back to catch up with what was happening...
@cordy
The patch will hopefully work now with no reboots, made it a lot less stressing on the N900s out there. If you face any reboots, please notify me!

Sorry for being offensive, but that's the goddamn truth. Karam's first "battery script" was about only changing the vfs_cache_pressure to 10 when locked and 100 when unlocked.

I soon then released a battery patch which did the above plus dynamically reducing the cpu clock + voltage when locked, and bumping them back when unlocked, + pausing greedy processes such as browserd, calender-ui... when locked which save humongous battery life, and then resuming them when unlocked.

Karam then kindly contacted me about including these scripts in his battery patch, and I was like "WTH I didn't invent these, I just packed them up

use them!." Then he officialised his patch to be batterypatch etc etc. Effectively, I had made the battery scripts for him.

Karam is a valuable jewel of the maemo community, and he fought lots of critisism when releasing his cgroups patch, + he's syrian, which probably means that he's one of my relatives from some ancient ancestors of me so I didn't mean to deteriorate his reputation in what I said, it's just what it is.

So, you're neither karam nor ammyt, and simply know nothing, so you know what to do.

only names names names pretty nice names [Blood Kain, Optimum..etc

and i also prefer karam's batterypatch because it is simpler more editable and more effective

ammyt you mistakes on your script
you don't actually need the line that checks for proximity sensor

and one more thing
what about if i unlocked the screen using the power button not the lock button
heh this will make you use underclock profile while it supposed to use overclock

you didn't solve this problem as karam did
i recommend every one using batterypatch to stay using it

Yo smartyass, read my upper post, as the same thing goes to you too. If you actually examined the scripts, or the old thread, you would actually know that the proximity line was added in the script for future uses, it isn't enabled. And all what you had to do to "customise" is to edit the /usr/local/bin/overclock file and add your "customisations." This is done by a GUI with many other features than that so, as my pal Estel says:
Shut up, or Go To Find Out before posting crap.

New Version 0.3 Uploaded:
*Fixes miniature UI bugs
*Fixes stability issues (ULV)
*Requires you setting something

Install the .deb, open it, then:

Ready Made Profiles:
choose ready-made profiles to use the built in profiles, i.e. Optimum, Blood Kain, Life Doubler, and their HD versions. Remember that HD versions bump up the performance a bit to comply with 720p playback/recording requirements. All battery patches will be installed.

Configure Patches
Lets you choose between the dynamic cpu patch, sigstop patch, and the vfs_cache_pressure patch. Note that choosing the dynamic cpu patch lets you load a profile you choose when unlocked, and a low power frequency + voltage profile when locked. Note: if you want to set of the in built profiles, i.e. (optimum, life doubler...) when unlocked, you will find them in:
/usr/share/kernel-power-settings/
The best power-saving option I saw is by enabling all the patches with the HD-Life Doubler profile when unlocked.

Build My Own
WARNING: This is in beta status.
It launches a wizard, where you set all the possible frequencies you will want to use, their voltages by a slider, and their dsp rate (up to 600MHz supported) and configures other KP aspects such as SR, up threshold, and sampling rate. Then it saves this profile as "userbuilt" in /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/userbuilt. You can use it later as the active profile with the dynamic cpu patch or anything else.
To do:
Add conguration of all other kernel power values (governor, ignore nice load...etc...)

do you consider puting it into repos?

dude thanks for your update but after installing the latest .deb file it isn't working.
when i click on use ready made profile it says cant find /home/user/MyDocs/freq

now what should i do ?

I've just found /usr/bin/CPUTweak calls
sh /home/user/MyDocs/freqs
(...)
sh /home/user/MyDocs/patches
(...)
sh /home/user/MyDocs/build

And those files are located in another place, so I've changed those lines by:
sh /home/user/.CPUTweak/scripts/freqs
(...)
sh /home/user/.CPUTweak/scripts/patches
(...)
sh /home/user/.CPUTweak/scripts/builds

File locations were found using dpkg -L cputweak-dcs

Then it gives more messages:
Nokia-N900:~# CPUTweak
file not found reg
mv: cannot rename '/home/user/.CPUTweak/scripts/underclock': No such file or directory
file not found reg
Nokia-N900:~#

Nokia-N900:~# ls /home/user/.CPUTweak/scripts/underclock
ls: /home/user/.CPUTweak/scripts/underclock: No such file or directory

('but dpkg -L cputweak-dcs lists the file there, and it was there after installation)
It looks like it has been deleted by CPUTweak program.

Other beta-like unstabilty symptoms:
If I select dynamic cpu scaling patch in selection boxes, it opens a file selector dialog, for a "profile to load when active". What does it mean?.

After selecting one option (patches ) in main menu, and once finished the patch selection, sometimes it returns to main menu then after selecting again patches radio button, it just exits.

Just answering myself, by re-reading properly :-P

"Note that choosing the dynamic cpu patch lets you load a profile you choose when unlocked, and a low power frequency + voltage profile when locked. Note: if you want to set of the in built profiles, i.e. (optimum, life doubler...) when unlocked, you will find them in:
