wow! I almost gave up my N770. Just to have it as a collection item ! But after installing the kernel into the flash, the N770 is very responsive, very snappy!

./clone.sh

and wait.......; time to finish, with 48 Mhz kernel, 6.5 minute; without 48 Mhz kernel, 48 min.
Reboot and to add 64 MB swap file, with 48 Mhz kernel takes 7 min to make the 64 MB swap file; without 48 Mhz kernel, it takes 13 min to make the 64 MB swap file.

End product: a 770 running chinook+48Mhz on internal flash and MMC boot with chinook+48 Mhz and with over 300 MB for app installation.

I found it Easier to install wget and use ssh to do this scripting.

Until the above when I ran out of space and boot loops.....

maybe tomorrow we will get somewhere. I can access the 8 GB card so this is a start.

HA - Still Easier than a black screen on the desktop and only a slow laptop to view the solution like when I started 3.5 yrs ago with Kubuntu....

./clone.sh

The cloning process keeps on writing to the screen for most part of it, as a matter fact, I use to do this manually, and the screen output is exactly the same as if one is doing manually, no difference.

So you don't think it was borked when I ran out of space?

bun, do you have KDE on your card or only 2007HE and 2008HE?

Just repeat the cloning process, and see how it goes. Repeat partition/cloning can take care of problems generated from cloning.

No. I do not have KDE on my 770. I need to get some RS-mmc 1st. I only have 2007He and 2008He.

This guide is completely awesome. I used to speed up my tablet and a friend's, and it works beautifully. It's like I have a new tablet, and I didn't spend a dime. Those repos are full of good stuff, too.

The only things I did differently were these (hopefully they'll help someone out):

1) Make sure to delete all the images and sounds that come by default with the 2008HE image. That freed up enough space for me to complete the guide.
2) I used the desktop flasher tool to test and flash the 48mhz kernel instead of downloading the kernel and a flasher tool to my tablet, as described by Fanoush at the end of the section "Support for higher MMC 4.1 bus speeds for Nokia 770 (outdated, see SDHC kernel below)." I just found that to be more convenient.

Thanks again for the guide.

emelFM2 works like a charm for removing the hidden files.

Are you using Flasher 2.0 and command line or are you using the Nokia tool in windows to flash the High-speed kernel?

This should generate a ext2 600 MB and Fat 300 MB and SWAP file.

What does df (linux command) say?

Does paragraph 2 create /dev/shm swap partition?

Does paragraph 4 create .swap file?
(look in FAT partition, I believe)

Which one gets used by the OS?

Thanks!
