has anyone been able to do a nandroid backup with this lag fix? I tried it earlier and it just got stuck and had to pull the battery out.
[Vibrant Android Development] siirial:
i am having the same issue... it stalls on /data...

its not a big deal atm, but when roms start getting released, it would be nice to have nandroid working to have a safe restore point....
[Vibrant Android Development] tq745:
i'm having this same issue...is anyone able to change their font system? i really hate the look of the stock font.
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
No issue doing Nandroids, but remember it is copying an additional 1GB of space, so it will take a LOT longer then a usual nandroid (that 1GB virtual partition is simply a file on /data, so it will get included in the nandroid w/o issue. My backups are now ~1.8GB using the loopback ext hack, so that may be why its taking so long. Disable quick mode (or whatever its called) to see the actual file copy process.
[Vibrant Android Development] carfield:
Thanks a lot, but how am I suppose to run it? Copy those file to my galaxy s, and run the script?
[Vibrant Android Development] sleepy222:
I just performed the 2.3 fix and ran 2 benchmark. 2100 and 2000!. Awesome! Navigating through thread using the xda app is so much faster.
[Vibrant Android Development] ryan562:
amazing work thanks to the dev of this lag fix.
[Vibrant Android Development] tq745:
Has anyone tried changing their font yet?

Feeling so vibrant...
[Vibrant Android Development] Arcadia310:
Alright guys, I tried RyanZA's fix and the update.zip version, neither worked. Have no idea what went wrong. I reset my phone to factory settings, rerooted and clockwork recovery. I really want to get this lagfix working. Can someone link me to the newest versions of the lagfixes please? Preferably the newest ones that are easiest to get running. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
They are all a work in progress, and have varying factors from whether you have a previous fix installed to if your running JAC's kernel. There are like 12 "lag fixes" now, and they all vary slightly, so nothing is just the "newest" version, just different variations. To tell you the truth, I havent found any one to be 100% reliable yet, as most rely on EXT2.

[Vibrant Android Development] siirial:
I tried doing this multiple times, but shell is saying that /dev/loop0 does not exist when i run losetup... I checked the directory, and loop0 is there in /dev.... not sure whats up. don't know much about mknod and losetup. Man pages didn't shed any light for me either. Anyone have an idea?
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
I'm impressed, you read the man page. You probably need to do this first.

[Vibrant Android Development] 98classic:
what are you guys using to test? i use linpack and cant get past 8.11mflops =\

edit: nevermind, i see what it is, got a 2291 in quadrant, fresh vibrant5.zip install
[Vibrant Android Development] sleepy222:
We are using quadrant since it has benchmark for I/O
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
finally able to complete a nandroid backup, I thought it was messing up but it just took twice as long as a regular backup so make sure you guys have some battery power left before doing the backup, and thanks zimphishmonger for the heads up
[Vibrant Android Development] stepinmyworld:
after using this for a while the phone get a tiny bit slow but quadrant scores are still around 2100... but how do i clean my ext2 cache? i mean you can't store stuff on there forever because it doesn't manually clean it's self. somebody please get back to me
[Vibrant Android Development] tweezit:
can someone save me alot of reading and link the lag fix that will work with jacs EXT4 hack?

the rom I am using incase you need it.
[Vibrant Android Development] carfield:
i just try... get "Error on update extract. Is the sdcard working?" alert box

so i need to insert a mini sd to my phone first?
[Vibrant Android Development] sleepy222:
Do you have the latest busybox installed?

Go to the OP and click on the original post link. From there all files, scripts and instructions is provided.
[Vibrant Android Development] sleepy222:
I would recommend running the batch script or update.zip since they have been proven too work.
[Vibrant Android Development] AustinKnight45:
Ya the batch script is what I used on my vibrant and also on my friends captivate it worked for both of us.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
are you able to update to the latest busybox once this lag fix is installed?
[Vibrant Android Development] itsjusttim:
Went from 900ish to 2100+! Absolutely amazing.. Now when 2.2 comes around will jit improve this again? Or is this a jit like program?
[Vibrant Android Development] Relikk356:
I was thinking the same thing? How do you clear this data?
[Vibrant Android Development] nopple123:
How do I run this script ??
[Vibrant Android Development] Passat80:
great work
[Vibrant Android Development] siirial:
Thanks... I always try to understand what I am doing when you guys give out info. Man pages are always a good place to start so I can get the general idea of what it is.

mount /data didnt help. this is the exact error after doing the second command:

losetup: /dev/loop0: No such file or directory
[Vibrant Android Development] sleepy222:
Yes, jit should improve your phone some more -
[Vibrant Android Development] sleepy222:
I found 1 bug so far. This fix cause xda app to FC when I reply to a post.
[Vibrant Android Development] player4lifeov:
This thing is amazing!
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
it does that no matter what rom you use
[Vibrant Android Development] itsjusttim:

Anyone else having an issue with changing the font after this fix? I tried to switch to Rosemary font, rebooted and nothing.

Odd, I did a revert on the lag fix now I can change my fonts. Any ideas what could be causing this?

VIDEO?

Can someone please make a video explaining how to do this i almost bricked my damn phone doing this with poorly written instructions. my phone has the vibrant and samsung logo on boot up then it plays the the tmo jingle w/o any animation or pics etc and the S logo doesnt show

EDIT: srry guys for flipping out i just got done with nandroid on the clockwork recovery and everything is working to an extent the S insignia loads up the the entire phone takes a lil longer to boot up but it vibrates and boots up but i need some video intruction on how to do this im more of a visual learner thanks in advance
[Vibrant Android Development] BRodz:
I would love a video also. I finally made the jump to Android with the launch of the Galaxy S phones and I love it so far. However, I am a noob and a video does help eliminate guess work from peoples written instructions.
[Vibrant Android Development] Arcadia310:
Woot! Got this bad boy working finally! The reason I couldn't get it to work was because I didn't have the drivers installed. After I installed the drivers everything worked and I ran a score of 2140! I'm loving it.

Another thing to note is that the script didn't seem to work if I had the device mounted to the PC, it only worked if it wasn't mounted. Kinda odd.

Time to check out some roms. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] itsjusttim:
From looking at the captive forum we can get 2700 with this and 1.2gh oc.

Can't wait till we get 2.2.. From looking at the boost the n1 got I figure we can easily get to 3k.

Again, this is one sweet phone.. =)

[Vibrant Android Development] BRodz:
I finally figured it out last night using the update.zip method. I was about to give up in fear of harming my phone, but I am glad I stuck with it and figured it out. Everything seems to be much snappier, including Launcher Pro (the reason I wanted to lag fix in the 1st place). I am getting the 2100+ scores in quadrant like everyone else is reporting without over clocking. If I have time and if my brother will let me I am going to Root, and lag fix his Vibrant this evening. I will have him record me doing it with my Flip cam and see if I can get a video up.

I am not making promises though, it all depends if I have time and if he will let me.

any advice on how to clean up the ext2 file?
[Vibrant Android Development] zephiK:
anyone what... the instructions said that the phone has to NOT be mounted for it to work.

Custom ROMs? there aren't really much custom ROMs aside from Eugene's Vibrant5 which is stock with tweaks and customizations added to it and a deoxed ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] dale_cooper:
I'm currently running Eugene's Vibrant4 rom, and just installed this lag fix via the apk file - I'm still at around 899 on the benchmark, any ideas?

edit - screw that apk file (just hangs on yes lag fix me highlighted in blue). This whole thread is confusing if you ask me. The original post starts with update1 2 3 4 blah blah blah. The correct thing to do would FIRST MENTION the real thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=749495

Then link to this attachment - http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=376541&d=1281354095

So for noobs, download that attachment, unzip it. Hook up your phone via usb, don't mount it but make sure usb debugging is enabled. Then you just run the lagfixme batch file and you'll be good to go. That method couldn't be easier.... this whole forum really needs to be cleaned up from a "guide" and files perspective (I"m coming from N1 forum which is much easier to follow).

Cliff notes to make your new vibrant rock....

ODIN stock firmware

One click root

Install rom manager > install clockwork recovery

Install Eugene's Vibrant rom (Vibrant 4 or 5.zip from clockwork recovery)

Install this lag fix via the batch process (easiest if you ask me)

Enjoy speedy vibrant

Thx bro I saw that you wanted a vid too I hate the guess work too ive tried the update.zip one thats the one that gave me trouble but maybe I missed one little thing
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougefresh91:
To get this to work all I have to do is install the RyanZA.apk? I just want to be sure before I do anything stupid?

EDIT: Got latest busybox, it updated with no problems. When I go to run the RyanZA.apk it returns an error of, "Error on update extract, is your sdcard working?." Not sure what that means, but I guess I'll try the other method.

Sorry quoted the wrong post. I had asked is it just me or does Ryan's 1.0 update feel snappier than the 2.3 update?

I've been running the 1gb version with ext2 for a week now and still 22xx+ scores on quadrant and no "corruption" so far. Any advice on if I should worry or not?

However the only thing ive noticed is that cachemate no longer works, always says i have no cache or recently cleaned it up.
[Vibrant Android Development] kingzeus:
I feel like im talking to myself and all these people are here and not one can answer, can someone help i have done this fix and my phone is acting weird i cant receive calls, anyone knows anything about this let me know.
[Vibrant Android Development] mikeku:
Can you explain how to do it, I have stock firmware rooted vibrant?
[Vibrant Android Development] frankencat:

I used the update zip method noted on the OP thread. I updated from the stock recovery then ran the script app which appeared in my dock (android in a blue bowl) I xhose the first script and viola after 5min or so I was good.

[Vibrant Android Development] Dougefresh91:
I tried the other method by downloading the file for Mac using USB debugging mode and still no dice. Should this file be downloaded to the phone? If so why would there be a need for a Mac version? Ugh. Confused.

I guess I'll try the update.zip version now.
[Vibrant Android Development] mikeku:
I try this and now i have my vibrant with out any app I've install before I do try quadrant and have same results as before.... buuuuuu
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougefresh91:
I got it to work using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7587405&postcount=417

For any other noobs out there, there is a small difference in the directions. I will repost them to save you the time I just spent figuring this out.

Full instructions:

1. The update.zip installs all the files needed. It is attached here; http://xdaforums.com/atta...2&d=1281390347

2. Place it on your internal sdcard

3. Turn off your phone.

4. Hold down Up+powerbutton+Menubutton for a couple of seconds until u see the galaxy logo .

5. Use the up and down buttons to get to update.zip. (reinstall packages is what I did--perhaps that's the equivalent on the Vibrant?)

6. Press menu button on update.zip to select it (should already be installing at this point)

7. It installs root, correct busybox (1.17.1) as well as all the scripts needed for the fix and the 'MCR Scripts' app to run the scripts. (NOTE: This version does not install superuser.app which is needed, although the beta update.zip does, so read 'requirements' above if needed)

8. After install, the phone restarts.

9. Go to the newly installed 'MCR Scripts' application from the app list, open it and choose from 3 scripts. For example, Lagfix10024 is the 1gb ex2 version.

10. The script should run and take a few minutes.

11. You should see an 'all complete' prompt, and this means you can close the application.

12. Run quadrant to test if the fix was applied.

Here are my results before and after using Quadrant app. This seems awesome so far.

i'm trying to do the lazy fix that i found on

http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...tman-speed-up-your-galaxy-s-with-lagfix-beta/

but i can't seem to get my phone into download mode or recovery or whatever, i hold down the buttons and all it does it flash the vibrant screen until i let go of the volume button then it just boots up like normal. am I missing something?
[Vibrant Android Development] ibuddha:
dude am i missing something cause I keep pressing Up+Power+menu (the one next to the home on the left side right?) and I don't get anything. please help me!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] orells:
Nooo volume up, volume down, and power. Once the vibrant screen boots release power but hold the volume buttons until recovery starts.

NANDROID BACKUP FIRST! IF YOU BOOTLOOP OR GET FC'S PUT THE CLOCKWORK RECOVERY UPDATE.ZIP ON YOUR SD AND FLASH TO CLOCKWORK AND RECOVER!!! NO RECOVERY MEANS YOULL BE FLASHING JAC'S STOCK ROM AKA BYE BYE APPS TXTS EVERYTHING.

[Vibrant Android Development] Dougefresh91:
Keep trying, sometimes it's tricky and quite annoying getting to that screen. Took me about three tries. When you turn on your phone wait like half a second and then hold down volume up, volume down, and power button. Don't let go until that yellow text/boot screen thing loads up. Like someone else mentioned you might want to do a nandroid backup before you do this in case something goes wrong.

Also, you have to be rooted to do this. Just an fyi in case you're not.

ok so mi've tried it 3 times already i installed rom manager and i downloaded the recovery image to my sd card and i reboot into recovery and i installed update.zip and it installed something then i hit reboot waited for it to load and when i look though my apps forlder i don't see any MCR app. what am i doing wrong? i've never done this before this is my first fory into rootng and stuff.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougefresh91:
Are you trying to do a nandroid backup, or the lag fix? If you've already done the backup you probably want to remove the root update.zip from the /sd directory. Otherwise I'd imagine that you might have problems since the lag fix goes by the same name.

I'm new at this, too, but if you explain in more detail exactly what steps you've taken there'd probably be a much better chance of someone being able to help you.

If you've successfully rooted already I'd remove that update.zip first. Then do this:

After you've done all that, then you should follow this to do the lag fix: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7587405&postcount=417

Have done this to this phone about 7 times now.

The MAIN trick is to keep trying. Dont use a x64 bit system.

And download mode is Volume Up + Down + Power and RELEASE the power button as soon as the battery screen disappears, but HOLD volume keys.

This fix always works better with a fresh stock rom installed. And def making sure you have your delvik cache cleared in recovery mode before trying again.
[Vibrant Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
You can use a x64 bit system, just make sure you install the x64 bit driver setup file as admin and ignore the "drivers didn't install correctly" error :)
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
Right, but you still get a lot of errors and seems to take more tries than normal using odin (I am talking about reflashing a rom not installing this update)

x64 does work, but its even more finicky than odin by itself. I would save yourself the aggravation and use an x86 system.

Especially if you find that just reflashing stock does not work and you need to flash Eugenes Froyo rom first. I could not get odin to flash it at all on my x64 system and still took like 5 tries on x86
[Vibrant Android Development] orells:

bug with the update.zip method.

your accellerometer or w/e it is in your phone that senses the tilting, etc. gets messed up with this fix.

wonder if it's an isolated issue with just me or no one here plays games. Tried doodle jump and it was extremeley less responsive. also home run battle 3d was nearly impossible to play as well.

might want to look into this before considering the the fix.
[Vibrant Android Development] rizzxx7:
I don't have those problems with this fix
[Vibrant Android Development] jeremy215:
Im using the stock rom and no noticeable lag at all.
[Vibrant Android Development] bdveteran18:
I am also using the stock ROM as well and didn't really notice any lag but I installed the fix just to try it out.

Benchmarked 2155. Holy cow! Lol. I wonder what this will be like with 2.2?

might just be me then. now im tempted to try again :p

Place your phone into USB debugging mode: Settings->Applications->Development

Plug your phone into your cpu through your usb cord

Download the attached ZIP file.

Unzip to a folder of your choice.

Double click "lagfixme.bat"

Wait for it to complete.
