same here

It happened the same to me...and it was because i had previously rooted the phone with unrevoked. If you didnt keep an image of the original firmware, search for this file RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe if your bootloader is 0.8, it is the original firmware and execute the file on a windows computer ( before you install htc sync to get the drivers ). Then you'll be able to upgrade to froyo. If your bootloader is another you need another firmware....i dont remember where i saw the links.
[Desire General] franking:
i have rooted desire with froyo,i was due an upgrade to 2.29.405 etc .being rooted i failed to upgrade,i then d/loaded the full RUU to my computer,connect via USB in charge mode,10 mins. d/load .installed,working& phone no longer rooted.
[Desire General] bad x boy:
Hello,

i have the same problem

after i upgraded to android 2.2

there was only one problem

i cant backup

so i installed rom manager

and this problem appeared

anyone can help?
[HD2 General] danieldd:
Hi!

Is there any way to RSS messages can be displayed on the today screen ? Currently, I use SPB to RSS News, but in this program can not be set somehing like this. Or maybe you can run the reader as an additional bookmark ? Some ideas ? Help...:)
[HD2 General] hg3atintin:
Use a rom with manilla 2015 maybe Duttys roms?

It looks like this.
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
I have rom based on 2015 and 2016 and RSS feeds don't apear on desktop and i dont see any option to enable it in CHT Editor. Crap...
[HD2 General] chainbolt:
I am also looking for this. Anybody??? :o
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
Is there just a CAB for this instead of going through the hassle of putting a New Rom on, when I'm happy with the Rom I have.
[HD2 General] Rurph:
if I am not wrong, Cookie is planning to integrate RSS feeds to the homescreen with the next version of his mod. just need to wait for his next release.
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
Thanks for the heads up, I'd like that solution :).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fojae:
Does anyone really think that the lag problems can be fixed by an official firmware update form Samsung? It seems that this is a hardware problem only: Samsung chose slow memory for the filesystem on which /data/ lives. How can this be overcome in an official update? Sure, there are some hacks out there that require buying an sdcard (and then never removing it) or using up the very last bit of NAND which will surely cause problems for some with lots of apps or with apps that have large databases. These hacks will probably work well for some, but Samsung won't do anything unless it is transparent to the end-user and works well for everyone. Is it even possible for them to do it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The.Opethian:
I think there's a guide somewhere here that changes the filesystem to EXT3/EXT4 which improves performance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ml78:
Im very confident Samsung vill fix the "lags" hell Im on stock firmware and just by using luncher pro the lags are much less of a problem. Lets wait for the first official firmware update before we all start to panic :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fojae:
I think ext3/ext4 is part of one of the hacks involving an external sd card. It probably works very well, but is not an option for Samsung unless they decide to give every one a free sd card.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
There is no question that there is, nearly terrible, issues with stock I/O performance. Everything else is zippy, even more so when you use LauncherPro with cached pages. Games are super fast, which makes me think that the memory speed isn't an issue for long-term performance. I do wish the internal storage was NAND, but other than that I think the hardware is top-notch and I wouldn't trade it away.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fojae:
I agreed that everything but the io is excellent. However I rely on several i/o intensive apps like calendar, shopping lists, task managers, and all of these really suffer. I hope I am wrong and that samsung find a way to fix it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
I have no lag and I'm not using any fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
just use this fix, and you wont get any lag

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724251

even without that fix, you don't get lag if you use any of the many available task killers softwares
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
same here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] penfold:
the lag is caused by the touchwiz interface over android ....remove touchwiz and it will be as fast as the nexus
[Galaxy S I9000 General] steffe.jst:
As mentioned the third party stuff isn't really amazingly optimized at this point, but I reckon just changing the values at which levels android frees up memory should take care of most lags, even on stock firmwares.

Running JM2 with ext4 fix and AutoKiller I hardly ever notice any lags on my phone, if anything some apps sometimes takes half a second too long to load but it's nothing I can't live with.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fojae:
Saying that there is no lag for anybody just doesn't work. There are many, many documented reports of the lag here, youtube, other forums, etc... It's a known problem. I am using LauncherPro and I still have lag problems. Most notably, when I long press on a screen to create a new shortcut, it takes launcherpro sometimes about 15 seconds to bring up the list of applications. There are many other case of things taking 2 seconds when they should be nearly instantaneous.

The NAND fix does work: as a test I moved the Astrid task manager database to /dbdata and now Astrid flies. However, I don't believe that Samsung will be able to use the NAND memory as part of an official fix. Does anyone have any ideas or predictions on how Samsung can solve this problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
I use Launcher Pro, task killer and still have SEVERE lag. Also very curious as to what solution Samsung mighy have up their sleeves and when we can hope it will br released.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rizlo:
I'm starting to think that people who say they see no lag at all without any fix are either trying to convince themselves or just lack the ability to notice. I know I'm practically calling people delusional here, no offense, but come on... that would mean there's like a 1% of all shipped units that mount superfast internal SDs, that's unlikely.

Internal SDs are slow as &%£$. EXT4 on external SD fixes the problem for good. Maybe we're just gonna have to live with it...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kilack:
Yeah they all lag out of the box, no one got lucky and got sent a special/custom version with different hardware that doesn't lag.

Some people obviously are more acceptable of lag and don't call a small delay lag etc . There are some of course that after spending a lot on a device don't want to admit its flawed in some areas so keep saying mine doesn't lag etc, people can be strange sometimes :).

Not all have the 10 seconds of black screens etc that you see on some of the youtube videos but without applying any fixes they all have delays here and there.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sunwee:
I agree with the above 2 posters, lag is VERY obvious out of the box. I came from Winmo 6 (where lag is the norm and not the exception...lol), so when I first got the SGS I too was very tolerant of the lag and was wondering what the heck people was complaining about.

Then I got to try out my friend's Desire. Everything just "moves" so fluidly...opening app drawer, changing wallpapers, opening the dialer, contact page, handcent etc. When I got back to my SGS I realize what I was missing. The SGS on paper is more powerful than Desire but doesn't perform as sweetly, UI-wise.

So far, mimocan fix + autokiller maybe mitigate 80% of it. But sometimes still lags badly, for eg; when adding shortcut ...the application list takes ages to come up. or adding widgets.

Anytime a new firmware leaks and we hear of people saying lag is fix...but I am still sceptical. I am on JG5 and things are still as before. Still need to apply fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] A Dustman:
With the external sd card partitioned to ext4, do you need a fast sd card? or would a class 2 work just as well for this lag fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
Um, I'm on JM2, with no lag-fixes, and my applications list for shortcuts come up instantly. Do you want me to make a youtube vid of it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sunwee:
sure, if you feel like doing it :)

how many apps do you have installed, btw?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
quite a few, but not a lot. I'll post a vid in the morning. Anything else besides adding widgets and shortcuts?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NeoXTC:
I think the lag comes as I install and use more apps. When first flash with no apps install everything was zippy. Then after I install apps and start to use them it becomes pretty slow when say opening them, or going back to home screen.

I come from WM so I'm quite used to it ahahah Still love my GS though :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] matty___:
Part of the lag comes from bad memory management settings. Just compair minfreemem between desire and sgs. After setting them to a more strict level the lag is gone for the most part. Shortcuts are still a problem on jg 5 . Will try jm 2 soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] steffe.jst:
what you're experiencing is pretty much the definition of SGS' poor memory management and could be easily fixed using autokiller
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Such hardware problem might never be fixed by a firmware issue, probably just alleviate it by moving the data into the internal SD card, im now starting to think that the SGS is not an over engineered device infact it is only strong ug brute processing power and probably GPU power, the rest of the system still lags in comparison to other same generation smart phones
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Also the SGS only has 305MB of ram unlike the Nexus one having 512MB
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
I was on JM2 without the fix until this morning and I can tell you that I had plenty of lag.

And I was using autokiller and launcherpro I think that the lag has nothing to do with the memory management. When it was lagging I had always more than 60Mo of free mem.

I did the fix on ext4 earlier and for sure it solves most of the problem.

Now the mail can be deleted in a reasonnable time for instance

Yet the lag when you popup the list of application is still there. It takes up to 10-15secondes to have it displayed
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
That's totally incorrect EarlZ.

It's similar to how Vista 32bit showed there was only 3.5GB of RAM on a computer which physically has 4GB. Neither the nexus one nor the SGS actually report the physical amount of RAM, because its irrelevant. However, in the case of the SGS, similar to nexus one, it's probably there (just it's being used for other functions).

Think about it, who makes a 305MB RAM chip?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
According to this page, SGS has 512MB RAM.

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2298&c=samsung_gt-i9000_galaxy_s_16gb

I agree with an earlier poster that whatever fix Samsung provides must not assume the presence of an external SD card. Also, why should there be any difference between an external and internal SD card in terms of speed anyway?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sionyboy:
I really hope that there is a fix coming in a future firmware. I got up this morning and found that there was an update for the FB app on marketplace, so went about updating mine. Then I got the girlfriend's Hero and did hers to, and it was a lot more responsive than my SGS..... quicker to install, app was much more responsive Embarrassing!!

I find that the longer the phone is on the worse the lag can get. Rebooting it can give me a quick fix for a while but you shouldn't have to do this on a brand new, flagship phone. The reason I went for the Galaxy S over Desire/Milestone/Liquid was the pure brute power of the internal hardware, but from the real world performance you really wouldn't think that was the case.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] djglenn1337:
Reading threads like this really puts me off getting a SGS...

4 days and counting until my upgrade date...and really want to go with the SGS...

Been reading this forum solid now for 2 weeks, and each day I lose a bit more enthusiasm towards this devise.

In comparison the Desire gets a lot less negativity, however I am desperately hoping that all that is wrong with the Sammy is its new immature software that can be fixed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tameracingdriver:
I recently set up my phone again with jm2 and the ext4 hack. Before that I was on jg1 with the lag fix and autokiller set to optimum.

Despite getting better benchmark results with the jm2 setup, I found it slower than my jg 1 setup. I have since installed autokiller once more and I now find most of my lag has gone. I can only conclude that for whatever reason, autokiller does seem to make a difference somehow.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gTen:
If this is the case..then your saying the CDMA versions of the phone are gonna be the real winners? lol

Since they only have 1gb and 2gb rom my guess is they will contain faster memory if that is the case?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sionyboy:
Given that the 8gb of internal memory is split between 2gb for apps and 6gb for storage, couldn't Samsung just format the app partition to EXT4 in a future update so we get speedy access of that.... or something...?

Or are they afraid of having to force people to do a complete wipe of the internal memory to fix the problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andars05:
I'm selling/returning my phone if it's a hardware issue that can't be fixed. Benchmarks don't really mean anything to me. I'm more concerned with everyday performance. Using an external SD card isn't really an acceptable solution. It works, but I'd rather have a device I know isn't hindered by a permanent internal hardware issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
if you don't need a phone now, then wait until next year, lots of new stuff coming out with Android 3

if you need a phone now, i doubt you will find anything better than SGS
[Galaxy S I9000 General] penfold:
many of you are not getting that just by using another launcher such as launcher pro does not mean that you have turned touchwiz off .....it is still running!

touchwiz as far as i know is written in java, or at least touchwiz 2 was, unless it has changed.

so we have a java OS/interface running on top of a linux OS .....are you surprised it is slower than straight linux??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andars05:
The issue is more than that.

hxxp://twitter.com/koush/status/20321413798
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Its actually 384 with 305MB usable as of JP3

Those specifications are not officially from Samsung, on the other thread there is a discussion that using the new kernel with HiMEM support only shows 305MB total instead of 512MB, The Nexus One shows 512MB ( the last time i used my friend's N1 with 2.2 update ) Im still sticking to the belief that the SGS only has 305MB of OS usable ram unless there is a clear indication that it has 512MB.

The 32bit OS analogy is incorrect and irrelevant, since that said OS is only capable of mapping a memory address upto 3.5GB although I have no doubts that it is capable of seeing upto 8GB depending on the motherboard and PAE installed, but seeing and mapping usable memory are two different things and I am very familiar of how they work ( on a windows platform )

Well mostly the biggest difference is the write speed, the read speeds remain almost constant or just a a few % higher on a higher quality memory, its the internal NAND on the SGS w/c is extremely slow.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kgk888:
If that's true (and it would explain quite a bit), my new Galaxy S is going straight on eBay (thankfully my carrier sells all phones unlocked, even those with 2yr contracts). I'll just have to use my old phone until they revise the hardware or something else comes along.

Why the hell would they gimp the phone like that? The rest of the hardware is top notch, but to have it all running off a slow internal SD?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MAJED.y:
Does that mean there will be No fix in our current units?? even with Foryo 2.2 ?!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OGC313:
Lag will be fixed. The problem isn't due to hardware I mean it has around 210mb of free RAM with just the system running! It's all software problems which will be fixed with an update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andars05:
I'm not sure if it can be fixed or not. I'm not entirely sure about the internals of the Galaxy S. If it has faster flash memory somewhere with more space than the 130mb hack, then I suppose it could be fixed by repartitioning the device. If not...I know I'm selling mine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sionyboy:
A speed test on the internal memory says that it has a write speed of 5.0MB/s and read speed of 9.0MB/s, which puts it at about Class 4 status.

If mounting a EXT partition on an external sd card can produce positive results, I don't see why the internal memory is going to be to slow. I think either it is a software problem regarding I/O (Vista had poor i/o performance out of the box, updates cured that) or (worst case) splitting up the internal memory into two partitions is having a detrimental effect on the performance so Samsung have to dedicate all of the phones internal storage for application installation. (which would hopefully mean free SD cards in the box and for current owners!)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Does the SGS use a different kind of memory then the other android phones? If not then it should be easy to fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MOJO783010:
NO lag

Just got the phone today after doing a lot of research and took a giant leap of fate buying it. Apparently lag or gps issues are not the case for me. Tested the phone, got gps lock in aprox. 20 sec. with 3g data turned on and 1 min 30 sec with no data what so ever (didn't had time to install gps status, will post gps status details tomorrow after a more thorough test) . I detected no lag problems either. I started to open a lot of apps (didn't use any task killer what so ever) and didn't experience lag at all right till the phone shut down due to lack of battery ( and i'm not being delusional, didn't pay much for the phone so no reason to lie). Will probably ditch the Smart Life/Touchwizz UI (hate it, launcher pro here i come). As an overall impression i think the product is good in terms of OS implementation ( certainly can do better) , good build quality , did detect an issue with wi-fi , but can't be certain because the wi fi router was a few flats above (kept disconnecting). In terms of 2g/3g data testing used Orange Romania network, an 230 kbps down and 152 kbps up speed on 2g and a healthy 820 kbps down and 560 kbps up on 3g (used speedtest app with server "Bucharest").
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Case_:
As for the "lag will not be fixed, 'cause the internal card is slow" - flashed today's JM5 firmware, did not apply lagfix to test the progress...and I don't seem to have any lag at all, been testing it all day. Phone is really snappy and smooth running. Also have regularly about 100MB of free RAM instead of 40-50 on JM2 without lagfix, which kinda confirms my suspicion that the real reason for the lag was not slow internal card, but rather badly optimized OOM killer settings.

So I'd say it will be fixed after all, actually it seems like for me, it already is...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bub181:
I have the same experience as you. I was running JM2 with EXT4 fix, but now I'm running JM5 with no fix and it seems to be running lag free (or with less lag than before). I have installed all the old applications I had running on there too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
It depends on where a user is experiencing the lag, some users complain about lag in switching screens. I use launcher pro and cache the pages so there is absolutely no lag between screen transitions. The I/O lag is no worse, as far as my eyes can see, due to the extra layers and i actually have extra UI as well...i use launcherpro+quickdesk+widgetlocker as my UI, in addition to 7 nearly full pages and widgets running. Typically 100-150mb free unless i have alot running. Only real lag comes from when i am writing to storage.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
A lot of people also confusing the internal SD and the internal NAND storage
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dandarebr:
Don't think this is true. Or else you would have lag as soon as you started the phone no matter how many programs you installed. But several users have posted that the lag increases as they install or use more apps on the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
As you have more written to a slow internal card, wouldn't your random access time take a beating just like you describe but undermining your point? I'm a bit confused :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dandarebr:
The twiter poster wrote that Samsung have a really slow internal SD card instead of a fast internal flash RAM, and that's the reason why it is so slow. IF that's were true, than the reason for the LAG would be the slow I/O. Again IF that were true, than the phone will have lag no matter how many apps were installed.

But, as many users have reported, the Lag starts after installing more apps.

That' my point....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Case_:
The internal SD is not as slow as many people here will make you believe. Do some benchmarking, you'll see.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlagaDeRock:
Ok, just a few questions quick hdpi images for say a theme for bigger phone like the evo can they be tossed into a drawable-mdpi and be fine? Or do you have to go through them and resize them? My second question is regarding signing, I've got the htc kitchen running which seems to do fine so I'm using the AutoSign to sign my res folder which i zip'ed as framework-res.zip then signed using the AutoSign tool and renamed to framework-res.apk which I think is correct, but then I throw that into a presigned zip for a theme that I pulled apart using the htc kitchen and rebuild it and sign it and it should be good to go. It gave me some nonsense about an updater script and it can only make an update script. But when I tried flashing the rom it failed.

Basically I think I'm missing some parts of the puzzle if anyone who knows more about this than me could give me a pointer or two I'd be eternally grateful. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
I'm not sure if you have to resize the png images. I always do, however it takes a while so you may want to try doing it with the hdpi images. As far as signing goes some extract the apk and then edit the png's and then with 7zip use the open archive option and drop the png's into the zip. And then resign.

Here is what i do..

I extract the apk

Go in and make changes

Go back to the main folder where it has the META-INF, res, AndroidManifest, etc and select all of those and zip them. It should then name it (whatever_app_your changing).zip

I use the Auto-sign from Avabox and sign it. This should also change the extension to apk

When editiing an apk you want to make sure you keep everything as it is when rezipping and signing. Do not delete any folders.

To make a flashable zip you need an update script. If you pull apart a theme and look in it there should these folders META-INF\com\google\android. The update script is located in android. It tells it where to install everything and to show a progress bar. If you look in a theme you can easily see the strcuture and what needs to be zipped.
