lag fix issues

I had the same issue as this quote seemed to be addressing, but when I followed the instructions there were no "install commands" to follow or did you just mean going to adb shell etc.? If I understand this adb command syntax it seems to be moving files back and forth. ( I'm new so I don't really know, but was this like telling someone who asks which is the "Any" key to just press the spacebar? In other words, "its already installed and there is nothing you really need to do"? :) )

After following your instructions my Quadrant score is still in low 900s to high 800s.

Any ideas anyone?

If not how do I completely remove all changes from this lag fix so I can try to remove and re-install it. (I looked up how to do this but the instructions I found did not seem to address all changes made.)

Edit: and I have the latest version of busybox installed now, but had an older version installed when I did the lag fix.

Anyone else having an issue with texts not sending. It's happened like three times to me. I what great signal but my texts won't send. I have to turn on airplane mode on then off to get them to send again.
[Vibrant Android Development] Halieus:
I've had issues like that before, but not associated with this ROM. I never figured out why in my case, but it was happening before I ever installed any of Eugene's ROMs. Wish i could be of more help on the issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
I just sent out 3 text messages and they seemed to work just fine. I even recieved replies pretty fast.

3 as in 3 different people. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Hammi165:
is it just me or after installing vibrant6, my battery drains faster and when i check my battery use... it shows that the display uses 74% of my battery
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
just got done and its very nice...i like that much of the bloat has been removed...

my only complaint is that the memo app that came with the vibrant has been removed and my titanium backup isn't able to restore it...any way of putting this app back on? i really liked it a lot over any other memo/notes app i've tried. any help is greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] CharonIDRONES:
Mine have actually dropped unfortunately. Fantastic rom, best out there by far. But normally I get at least 100KB/s down and up (bytes not bits) and by the university it is double that. Now I am getting about 20KB/s down, although my upload is still around a hundred. I will test further but I have tested at three locations so far and switched servers in Speedtest. Hopefully I can figure this one out.
[Vibrant Android Development] didyourecognize:
Eugene you have out finger yourself again. I don't know how you manage to get this all done with the new family member but thank you. Donation on the way a soon as I get my financial aid.
[Vibrant Android Development] CharonIDRONES:
I retract my last post. Speeds are back to normal. Weird though cause I had specifically tested it in multiple locations but now is fine
[Vibrant Android Development] pengages:
I just want to be clear - I have just rooted my phone and changed NOTHING ELSE.

I have the STOCK ROM still running on my Vibrant. Am I safe to flash "vibrant6.zip" from recovery right now as update.zip? Or do I need to install a custom recovery? I am going to use Rom Manager to make a backup before trying anything. Is this ok?

Also - is the lag fix ALREADY in the ROM Vibrant6? IE - I won't have to perform the lag fix myself right?

Thanks for answering my questions, very new to vibrant.
[Vibrant Android Development] StefanB86:
If you're stock, have never flashed anything you're safe to install vibrant6.zip from Rom Manager, make a nandroid and you will be ok.

The lag fix it is not included/installed, just supported. You will need to run these commands to install it:

busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/dataimg bs=1024 count=1048576

busybox mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0

busybox losetup /dev/loop0 /data/dataimg

busybox mkfs.ext2 /dev/loop0

mkdir /data/data1
[Vibrant Android Development] TRF-Inferno:
Leave the file alone, and move it to the main directory of your phone's internal storage (Should be the ~13GB partition). Install ROM Manager, then install ClockWorkMod Recovery, and reboot into recovery.

Once the phone reboots, it should automatically go into ClockWorkMod. (Go to nandroid for backing up first if you want). Select Install zip from SD card, choose Zip from sdcard, and select the zip file. Select yes, and let it do its thing. Reboot after it's done, and you're good to go.

Support for the lag fix is there, but you have to implement the rest. See the second link in the original post.
[Vibrant Android Development] pengages:
Just the type of informative answer I was looking for - I really appreciate it. I'm a G1 veteran, just brand new to the Samsung world - I see how the CW recovery works now, gotta reinstall packages everytime, unless you're rebooting through rom manager. I'm going to install this rom and then try to update the proper lag fix.....now just gotta decide which lag fix lol :D

[Vibrant Android Development] G00DFe77a:
So I'm currently running the stock rom that was shipped with the phone. The two major things besides rooting I have installed is the CFLagfix and MobileAP. I'm assuming I have to uninstall the CFLagfix before i flash, but there is no way currently to uninstall MobileAP. Will this be ok to flash to the new vibrant6 rom? Also after flashing the new rom, will I be able to run titanium backup and restore all the widgets and apps I installed?

First time flashing a rom so I want to make sure that I'm doing it right. Thanks for the help!
[Vibrant Android Development] StefanB86:
Lol yes, you have answered that question like 5 times already. I'll do it for you. :p

[Vibrant Android Development] dale_cooper:
Oneclick lag fix isn't working with vibrant 6 like it did on vibrant 4. Not to mention my sync icon and gps icon are both pixelated and messed up, as well as the notification bar - I'm sure these have been discussed in the thread... ISSUES/FIXES need to be added to the original post. It would help everyone ALOT and prevent clutter.
[Vibrant Android Development] bonkasnucca:
thanks for the help sorry for the redundant question
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
With all due respect, I've read that 50 times, and I still don't know what the problem is. I would like to apply the Modaco lag fix, and have downloaded the zip, extracted the files and placed them on the internal sd. I have not had any lag fix before - I only rooted and flashed Vibrant6 and a battery icon mod. I have tried repeatedly to enter the commands into the terminal emulator and it doesn't work. I'm not very experienced with this stuff, true - but every set of instructions that has been posted assumes that the person reading it has done this before. I haven't. So no amount of reading and re-reading them is going to make any difference unless I can find the underlying assumptions that the instructions are based on. If anyone would be so kind as to point them out to me, that would be great.

Sorry if this is kind of a rant - I'm very grateful for the work people do here and donate for using it.

So here's what's I see on my terminal:

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin: $PATH

$

now what? And thanks in advance to whoever cares to try to help. :confused:

Try chainfire's lagfix - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=751513

Flashed 6 now stuck on 'Finding update package" using clockwork 2.5.0.4 Any help?
[Vibrant Android Development] drewtang:
Type "su"(without the quotations)then you should see a "#" sign, then start the lagfix commands...

Edit: hit return after typing su, and after each command line...
[Vibrant Android Development] CharonIDRONES:
One thing about that though is coming from a fresh install, it errors. Your fix does work, however I believe you should update the op to include it. I will describe my processes as they were performed.

Started with vibrant 5, formatted internal sd card, flashed stock through odin (using jac's stock firmware), booted up, transferred the root update.zip file, applied through stock recovery, booted, installed rom manager from market, flashed recovery, put the vibrant 6 zip on internal, flashed through clockwork, the first time I put those two files (playlogos and userinit.sh) and got the error and had looked through the thread and saw your post about the proper procedure, so I repeated all the steps I just listed (but without those two files) and still got the error. Now since I had flashed to stock through odin, there was no previous lag fix applied, so I did not understand why it was not working, but then using the commands you listed it worked perfectly (2137 quadrant). But was there something I missed in a step? Awesome rom though and thank you for the hard work! Just wanted to see if I was doing the right steps, and if so and still receiving that error, maybe should add you solution to the op so people don't keep asking. Thanks

Is the wireless N disabled with V6 ? because my gf's vibrant is showing about 10mb download speed while mine is around 5mb. Before flashing V6, I was hiting about 10-12mb download speeds as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] jlaval:
Same here with Ryan's lagfix 2.3. Any suggestions?
[Vibrant Android Development] brandnewsimmy:
That happened to me and I ended up just deleting data under Privacy. After that I re-did the lag fix and it worked the second time. I didn't have anything to lose though, because it was right after a fresh install.

[Vibrant Android Development] brandnewsimmy:
You can pull the apk from another rom and push it using adb. I did that for the original clock/alarm app and it worked great.

[Vibrant Android Development] ceroglu:
Can we do this for Avatar?

Also, has anybody checked their wifi speed with V6 to see if wireless N is disabled? my phone suggests that it is not working but I don't seem to feel any decrease in web experience. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] brandnewsimmy:
Maybe I don't know how strict that DRM will be but I got rid of that movie right away so I can't test it. Also don't have N to try out the speed.
[Vibrant Android Development] hukkguai:
Was getting frustrated with the ADB lag fix but this method was super easy and painless. Thanks a lot! Getting over 2100 on my Quadrant with this Lag fix!

mines says operation failed after it says checking for mount success.. any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] tfreer85:
Ditto for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] hukkguai:
I was having issues with the lagfix from Modaco's forum and I didn't know whether or not I removed mine correctly or not so I just ODIN'ed back to stock, flashed Vibrant6, and then ran CL's lagfix.

Did you make sure you set your phone to allow USB Debugging?
[Vibrant Android Development] al74:
Funny how everyone mention the amazing quadrant scores they reach but nobody actually say if the phone feels faster. I doubled the quadrant score but the phone actually felt less snappy in certain cases.
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
Thanks! So to confirm, it should look like this:

$ su

# busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/dataimg bs=1024 count=1048576

busybox mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0

busybox losetup /dev/loop0 /data/dataimg

busybox mkfs.ext2 /dev/loop0

mkdir /data/data1

With a return after every line, and then whatever comes up when it does its thing. I'm pretty sure I did try that and got an error, but maybe it wasn't the first thing I tried, so maybe I had already screwed something up ... Maybe I should leave this alone and live with the lag - it's not like it's that bad. There is also no consensus about which version of lag fix to use, and how effective (and safe) it is. :eek:

I'll do some searching around later to find out what I can/should do to undo anything I've done trying to make this work. If anyone knows off the top of their head and wants to share that would be great!
[Vibrant Android Development] priide:
Any one having problems removing system apps? I normally do this using root explorer and when I try to delete something it just gets re added. Any suggestions? I'm on vibrant6.
[Vibrant Android Development] frankencat:
My phone definitely feels and is faster with Ryan's lagfix.
[Vibrant Android Development] dale_cooper:
Is there a reason why the calendar is jacked up now with the bar at the top?

Also, why are GPS and sync icons pixelated, as well as the notification bar being translucent. I guess I just don't see the improvement from vibrant 4 to vibrant 6... vibrant 6 seems like a big step back? I had none of these "glitches" in vibrant4.

Finally, is there a reason why a rom isn't released that INTEGRATES the most popular tweaks - aka GPS and LAG fix?

Please add an issue log to the original post to declutter this thread and help everyone out.
[Vibrant Android Development] achild:
u got it to work on vibrant6?
[Vibrant Android Development] stepinmyworld:
Ok, with moderate use and listening to the radio... My battery was at 100 percent when I left out at 8:am this morning.. it's at 22 percent right now... it's 10:50 ....... what's up with that.. and yes it's on 3g... but still what's up with that? o and screen brightness all the way down!
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
You should see a '#' on the next line after the previous command line before you start trying the next one. If you don't see it right away wait it out...the first command takes a while to set up.
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
Ah, okay - was wondering about that. That goes for every line, right?
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
+1 on the calendar issue - I mentioned it before on this thread but it hasn't been answered conclusively.

As for the GPS and sync icons, there are several battery icon MODs going around that will also get you back to stock icons/status bar when applied. I used "Circular Battery Blue" and am happy with it, though I might swap it for the segmented version just based on appearance. Here is the one I used: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756441

SMS / MMS in vibrant 5

A question to Eugene or who ever knows how to..

I like like the simple black sms/mms from vibrant5,

1- Is there a zip file that can be flash in top of v6 to get simple black sms back

?

2-is there a APK file here in xda ?

3-or will basically have to flash back to v5 ?

Thank you all in advance.
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
Yeah every line.

I also just tried juice saver app and not too sure I really like it... By train battery too mean setting up different cpu clock speeds? Any free apps anyone Can suggest that can set operate click speeds for sleeping and what not?

Pooped from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA app...

Dont mind the skidmarks...
[Vibrant Android Development] Halieus:
I figured out what I was being stupid about that messed up the lag fix, and I now have a 2162 quadrant score.

Love pretty much everything about the ROM.

I feel like I've actually been getting better battery life now not worse, but that might just be a perception not a reality. It may just be the same as before.

Data seems about the same based on speedtest.net results, but I've always gotten crappy data at my house and I haven't tested else where yet.

GPS is working as well as it has with any of the current GPS fixes. Which is to say good, but not perfect.

Thanks for all your time and patience Eugene. I wouldn't be doing half as much as you in your situation even if I did have the know how.
[Vibrant Android Development] mesajoejoe:
Is it just me or is the battery life on this rom with lagfix simply amazing?? I wasn't getting results like this before. I have widgets running, I'm always texting, checking emails, browsing, and on Facebook occasionally. I'm always, always turning the phone on to check for notifications. And yet the battery is simply amazing for me. Thanks for all the hard work on this rom : )
[Vibrant Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
Love the work youve been doing Eugene, please keep it up!

I do have a question though; Is there any way I can modify another ROM for this feature alone:

~ Data through put Optimized ( Huge Data / Signal Improvement )

I really like what youve done performance wise, but prefer the stock TW look, calendar, music app, etc TBH.
[Vibrant Android Development] CharonIDRONES:
Sorry if I may have seemed as if I was *****ing, I greatly respect your work and all that you have done to further the community so far. We are lucky to have you and I am grateful to be running your rom. I just made that post as I thought it would be helpful to put in the op your method of stopping that error as I was coming from complete stock (hence no lag fix). I am not one to complain about issues (although I did post about getting less download, but I guess that was due to my locations despite trying it at places far apart, but back to normal) just thought it would be helpful is all. I have the lag fix working though due to you and am very grateful. When all is said and done, best rom out so far! Been using your roms since you started for the vibrant and love them
[Vibrant Android Development] xalucardx:
Great work Eugene373 , I was wondering , can I use the OC kernel with vibrant6 ?
[Vibrant Android Development] allareconnected:
Awesome ROM!!!!! Thank You!!!!

I've been running this ROM since you launched it on 8/18 with the lag fix and I absolutely love it!!!

2300 quadrant score

morphs great (meatamorph)

battery life is certainly better

Video games such as Asphalt 5 and NFS run amazing (no real lag)

The only time my phone lags at all is when I am installing apps from the market, which also happened on all other ROM's I've tried btw. Great work Eugene and thanks a bunch! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] dabezt1:
Im really interested in the Data Optimization. Has anyone noticed a difference?
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
Okay - well, I've followed the directions as closely as I think possible, using Terminal Emulator on my phone, and after the last line ("mkdir /data/data1") I get "mkdir failed for /data/data1, File exists"

Anyone have any help? I've run the commands both by themselves, and according to Eugene's instructions for people who have previously applied a lag fix - I have no previous lag fix though. This is such a pain in my ass that at this point I almost want to hear that it's a waste of time and won't actually make a significant difference. I mean wtf - plenty of people have done this successfully - what could I be doing wrong? ****ing waste of time ...
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
I think I have - it's obviously not something easy to measure. What I've noticed after a couple of days running the ROM is that I no longer have issues with Gmail sending - so no dramatic changes in performance, but for that specific issue I think performance is improved. Hope that's helpful.
[Vibrant Android Development] drewtang:
I got that same error, if the file already exists, it cant be made again. try testing your quadrant scores and see what you come up with, you may already be done...
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
Nah, my Quadrant score is 861 - pretty much in line with what I've had.

I've tried repeatedly to get this to work, entering the commands both as if I had a previous lag fix installed (I have not) and as if I didn't. Thank you for the advice - seems completely f'ing pointless, but that's not your bad.
[Vibrant Android Development] Beast84:
So I was poking around & noticed in the default.prop file that there is this line

If I were to change that to ENABLED, would that start the startupwizard on the first boot or is there more that has to be changed?
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
Okay, apparently it just worked - best piece of advice I can give to people trying this it so follow the instructions/commands on this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7752834&postcount=463

After entering the command "mkdir /data/data1" I got an error message, but ignored it and entered the commands after: mv /system/bin/used /system/bin/userinit.sh

reboot

After the reboot I ran quadrant and got 2070. So hopefully my phone flies now, after all this trouble - but regardless, if you're trying to install the lag fix Eugene refers to in the OP (Modaco) and you're struggling, let me know and I'll try to help you out. It has certainly been a pain in the ass for me, but a learning experience as well!

Thank you to everyone who offered their advice on this. Hope I can repay the favor.
