Hello guys!

I'm very new to this whole Android thing for Samsung Galaxy S.

I've got no clue what to do, how to flash stuff or anything.

If I'm going to apply this lagfix apk, will I be able to remove it if I'll need to take my phone to warranty?

Will it leave any trace on the phone?

How do I back-up the original firmware I have now? I've got no Idea how to root this or use odin or any other things and I'd really appreciate your support here.

Thank you very much!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
You said it already...why start flashing right away? First get used with your phone and Android...and read different tutorials.

Many users dont install any fix....they try some memory/system maintaince tools and are very carefull with what they do or install...

Take your time to learn and who knows in the meantime the official froyo upgrade is there and makes a difference.

The only reason I got JPC (beta froyo version) is because I was curious to see if voice dialing over bluetooth (or not) was finnaly working good on Android.

But I never experienced real lagg problems with my GS

Memory booster app is easy to use and keeps memory clean..for instance
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] digitalhater:
Thank you for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate it.

I've tried quadrant and noticed I get really poor score...880 points only...I was getting 1500+ on HD2 running Android on SD Card...is this normal?

I noticed that sometimes the phone takes a while to switch between screens or so..but I think this is not normal...

Thanks again!

Will the OCLF 1.6.6 from Market Place be updated automatically?

Also, when running 1.6.6, it sets the default ext2 partition to about half-way (I think it's about 850mb). Should I modify this setting?

If I did apply, does it mean my Vibrant will only have renaming 850MB to operate with, since the other half is now dedicated to ext2?

Sorry for noob question, new to Android myself (was doing WM5/6 and Apple device previously)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
It will only have the 850mb you select to use for apps. 850mb is still more than other devices on the market, which have only 256 or 512.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
No problem...

And what about the effectivity of Quadrant benchmark?

Read this (and the comments too):

So much to learn....so little time.......

GS and Android have got me on the run.....:eek:

Then does it make sense to move to all the way to the right, so it uses everything?

What are the cons of moving slider all the way to the right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] traicer:
Anyone know what the default minfree setting is on the vibrant?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] vaughnsphotoart:
Installed OCLF and then ROM Manager, now things are screwy.

I installed OCLF 1.6.0 yesterday, and used it ok. Did get the fix installed.

As long as I had root, I figured I'd delete some of the bloatware. Installed ROM Manager and used clockwork to backup the system. Deleted some of the default apps like Layar , etc. But then got to thinking that I don't want to risk screwing up the September update that is coming out, so I decided to back off OCLF.

I noticed then that OCLF no longer realizes it has root.

I restored to the Clockwork backup I had made... still didn't help. I tried reflashing update.zip, I tried latest 1.6.7 version of OCLF, nothing is working.

Can anyone suggest the correct order to go through to return my unit to stock?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
When you want to undo the lagfix, it will need to copy all of your data back where it came from. If you put the slider all the way to the right and then install a lot of apps, you will need to remove them first before undoing the lagfix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Val3r10:
Could it be possible to resize (enlarge) the ext2 loopback fs any way ? Or should I revert and then restart the whole procedure, by copying back & forth data to the stock filesystem...

Is there some trick about the time when to install apps?

I mean: what's better, wether first install OCLF and then all the apps I need (and possibly uninstall, fragmenting the loopback filesystem), or otherwise play with them and later, when got a stable set, install the lagfix ?

Thanks for any flavour hint
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
No real reason to enlarge/shrink the ext2. Just unlagfix and then re-lagfix. It takes about the same time as resizing would, and it is probably safer.

Doesn't matter when you install apps, the result is identical.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Arde:
How i can manually remove One Click Lag Fix? I using old version and now i reset my phone, i install new version in market but if i try to install it "/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5kb" and remove "You do not appear to have a lagfix installed" HELP!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
As it says, you don't have a lagfix installed. When you reset your phone, you removed it (but in an unclean way, you didn't restore the boot logo.) Use the restore bootlogo option, and next time uninstall it properly. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Arde:
OK, i restore bootlogo and now i can run lag fix, thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Etrnaly:
Question about the "repair/clean up" option. Does it undo the 2-3 fix? Or do I have to undo it using the 2-3 method before I can use the APK version of the lag fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Val3r10:
Won't the loopback filesystem get fragmented when I uninstall/install a lot of apps AFTER the lagfix, much more than sequentially copying them in a stable configuration during the setup of OCLF ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
I don't think it would matter, since this is flash memory, and not spinning disks. Plus EXT2 doesn't get fragmented too badly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] fridge2k:
Ryan,

The only options I have are ROOT and Check Free Space on my Fascinate. So I understand the root will not work, is that correct?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ikonomi:
I just wanted to thank you, RyanZA, for this awesome fix. Installing this has eliminated so many little problems with my Captivate.

- Facebook for Android is usable, loads quickly, and doesn't bog down the phone while in the background

- Downloading larger files to the internal storage doesn't lag the phone

- Google Listen is infinitely more responsive

- Android Market loads much, much, much more quickly

- The phone no longer hangs for long periods while downloading and installing Market apps

- Pandora doesn't hang while loading

- Speed Test no longer hangs on the "Retrieving server list" action (who knew this was a lag problem?)

- The phone no longer pauses when going from any other screen or app to the home screen

Overall, this fix has improved the user experience with the Captivate by 200%. It's silky smooth. The one little problem now is that audio in Google Listen tends to static or hiccup occasionally. I guess this is when the phone is accessing the lag fix memory. Who knows, but it's such a minor, minor thing. The installation using the APK on the Market was extremely easy.

Thanks for all the hard work that went into this fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] initrd:
Does a factory reset undo all the changes? (Sorry, search isn't working on the forum) I've installed 1.4 but didn't upgrade because from what i'd read, you need the installted version to undo changes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Almost everything, it won't restore your boot logo. You can either back that up manually, or you can restore an I9000 stock boot screen using the option in app.

I think 1.4 was also the V1+ lag fix, in which case the new apps will undo it just fine.

Yeah, the only root which exists for the Fascinate seems to be one that requires a PC. That obviously won't work too well from inside an app, I guess. As soon as a nice root that doesn't require a PC becomes available, I'll add it to the app. Same for the Epic.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tof9:
Crap, I had the older fix which was installed using the update.zip method and I decided I wanted to remove the fix so I opened SL4A and clicked RemoveFix.bat (or something similar to that) and now my device is stuck on the boot logo.

How do I recover from this? :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Stavut:
My experiences have been great also, I was getting annoyed with lag while launching apps, or after having had several apps open, browsing around the home screens and so forth and after the fix the phone seemed to really come to life.

Not having anything great to add to the topic, just wanted to thank Ryan for all the hard work, definitely appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EmDzei:
Keep using Lag Fix without rooted phone?

Intelled RyanZA's One Click Lag Fix v1.6.7 from Android Market and got 2105 - 2155 scores by Quardrant with my Samsung Galaxy S. My current firmware is JM8 (PDA JM8, PHONE: JM4 and CSC JM1).

Now I cannot install some aps from Android Market or AppBrain Market, like Camera 360, Bubble Level, USB-WebCam or AbleLink. But got easy NoLED, PicSay, A Online Radio, WF & Clock widget etc.

I think it is becouse rooted phone and protected aps.

Question: Can I remove root and still keep using Lag Fix? Or does the booting routine start own lag fix service and it need SU access? Now I feel criminal I cannot use legal free aps from Market, eh.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] yurid9:
I deleted the update.zip after I installed the lag fix and rooted my device. Will I need that file to unroot or remove the lag fix? If yes, how can I get that file back??

Its working fine however I don't have the boot animation any longer. I hit restore boot animation but its still not there.

Maybe because I disabled the animation sound before with shell commands?

Once again,

Now with last version which has in built the alter minfree...should we remove task killers from our devices such as Autokiller which i have or we should not uninstall them?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Methyldioxide:
Ver nice apk. Thanks allot for all your work mate.

Phone is just allot snappier then stock, to bad samsung didn't manage to fix this yet

You should not use a automatic task killer IMHO.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] FL00DY:
umm can I please get some help kinda quick ... I clicked on the root option, it did it, told me to reboot so I turned off and then turned back on using the vol down + home + power button ... and now it's stuck at the yellow Downloading worker robot and says Do Not turn off target ???

What have I done wrong? Did I have to have it plugged into kies, into USB ??? The volume buttons aren't doing anything ??? I've never felt like such a n00b :(

Oh Crap, I pushed down instead of up ??? Is this going to be a problem??? Holding down the power button doesn't work, can I remove the battery and not brick it???
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Phlogiston:
simply wrong combo, u should have used power down not power up.

Just plug out the battery and start again
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tonysac:
Unplug battery and plug again...vol UP+ home + power..it should work that way...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] FL00DY:
Yup thanks, rooted done. When I run it, I've been able to install the EXT2 tools, but the OneClickLagFix is red and can't select ???
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] zongamin:
Wow - thanks so much

Thanks for this - it has saved my Galaxy S from being sold on ebay!

Seriously - I had got to the point where the random lags and hangs of the Galaxy S were just about getting too much to bear until I applied this fix today - took me about 20 minutes start to finish, then after a bit of a scare when the reboot took ages when it finally kicked in I couldn't believe the improvement.

Thanks so much.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] FL00DY:
Thanks very much Phlogiston & tonysac. I've now finished. Evey thing working properly, and of course better then before. Got over 2000 on quadrant, what other benchmark apps are there???

Market protected aps cannot install after rooted mobile

Thanx for the link. I downloaded and moved the build.prop file to system folder but still cannot install those free aps from Android Market or AppBrain Market.

I think I remove this root system and start be a legal citizen again, LOL. Sorry RyanZA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Haha, I'm really not sure why you're apologizing to me. ;)

Anyway, paid apps seem to work fine with the lagfix. If you can't get em to install with the lagfix on, you can try and undo the lagfix, install the apps, and then redo the lagfix. It's pretty easy, just click the buttons. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Not really sure what you're asking for. An app that automates the process of removing the glass lockscreen?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] fuze_freak:
First of i have to thank you because your lag fix made my sgs run like it suppose to be, but I have one question Im using a jm5 stock ROM and your original lagfix the one that was script base and works like a champ. Now Im planning to upgrade to jm8 or jm7 what are the benefits of using your lag fix apk over the older script base ?

thank you in advance and please put a donation on the market for the lag fix I will donate right away
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
The APK is safer and easier to use, so I'd recommend using it. It also lets you select size and other nice little things. If you don't mind the script though, the 2-3 script ver is generally better if you can get it to work for you (some paid app issues, etc). ;)

There is also the Voodoo kernel if you don't mind flashing a custom kernel with the many changes in it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] fuze_freak:
thank you for your fast response, i will stick to your fix and next flash I will try the apk.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] richardbroder:
Hi Ryan,

I´ve been using OCLF ever since my early days with JM5 firmware, lol. I´m currently using JPC rooted w/ OCLF and I´ve recently tried out the alter minfree setting. I´ve never used any Autokiller programs since I´ve got beautifull widgets and I don´t want the task killer killing my widget.

At my 1st try with the OCLF alter minfree I just tried it on Optimum WITHOUT "Set on Boot" checked, it apparently worked fine. Checking in the task manager, RAM would never go over 180MB used, and when it did go over 180MB, it would quickly restore itself back to 180MB.

So I tried changing the configuration once again, this time using the recommended "Strict" option, I did the same procedure as before (set on boot unchecked), I did not boot the device because I wanted to see if there would be any noticeable change in the RAM use, but the impression I had was that the phone actually set itself back to the default settings, since it did not take long for my RAM usage to go beyond 200MB.

Rebooted the phone, did everything again, once again selecting the Strict setting... after test-using the phone for a while, I´ve noticed the RAM use was up to a whooping 230MB (remember, I only have 305MB total, so I had less then 100MB free), and I already had closed all the apps running in the task manager. I do know the stock firmware will start closing apps to free RAM once it reaches a critical point (around 270MB out of the 305MB), but I really don´t want my phone reaching a massive 270MB of used RAM till it starts closing unnecessary background applications, specially because I know that having all that much of background apps means you have, in potential, more apps that could be draining your battery (be it by using mobile data, be it by the app itself using CPU resources sporadically). When I restart my phone, it will stay as low as 140MB, and if I leave it standing idle it will keep below 150MB all the time (beautifull widgets running fine), the problem is when I start using the phone... that´s why I tried out the alter minfree setting in OCLF.

I´m not sure though, I have the feeling I screwed something up, I have even tried the "agressive" option, just to see if there would be some changes, but apparently my phone is stuck back to the default minfree setting, and it´s not willing to work with any of the OCLF settings.... any help is appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
It can't really fail - all the app does is write some config values to Android, and then Android does the rest. The 'Optimum' preset sets the values to 40,50,60 (hidden app, content provider, empty app).

So, starting at 300mb of available ram, when your phone goes to 300-60=240MB used, it will trigger a process to kill off all previously running processes that had an activity in them, but have since been closed. This will probably free up some small amount of ram, and is mostly just housekeeping. (Empty app)

Now you use a bit more ram, and your phone goes to 300-50=250MB used. This triggers a process to kill off all 'content providers' that are currently not being used. Content providers are interfaces that apps can query to retrieve data from, such as contacts. If an app is currently using the content provider, it won't be killed off. This could free up a lot of ram depending on what's running/has run before.

Bit more ram use, and your phone goes to 300-40=260MB used. This triggers the big process - kill hidden apps. Hidden apps are apps that are running in the background. These could be running because you minimized an app, or an app started itself up with an intent receiver, etc etc. This does not actually kill the apps, but shuts them down nicely, calling their ondestroy methods, etc. It can actually be a slow process depending on how the app was written. I personally believe that this is a flaw in Android, and it should just wipe the app out as quickly as possible.

A lot of lag comes from that hidden app killing when new apps are trying to launch. By increasing the value of hidden app killing, it kills them a bit earlier, which seems to help smooth things out.

More than likely, a lot of the lag we get is from hidden Samsung apps that are killed off, and flush their database to disk when they are told to exit (speculation). This would lag up your phone, and RFS makes this even worse. This kind of thing wouldn't just be limited to Samsung apps though. ;)

If anybody knows more about this stuff, feel free to give us info! :)

And to answer your question: Strict would only trigger background app killing at 305mb-60mb=245mb, which is more than the 220mb you were saying. You shouldn't need more than 60mb free though! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EmDzei:
Tryed build.prop but it doesn't help me for protected files, or those exaple free aps, what I listed early. I have re-flashed the JM8 firmware and using now it without root or lag fix.

AppBrain bring just pop-up windows with text:"Not found. The requested item could not be found" and Andoir Market doesn't show aps at all.

My sales code is XEE. I check it with Android SDK adp command. It was same with early JM2 firmware, too.

How I can succeed this problem? I think this is peace of cake for you gurus.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] richardbroder:
Use this program called Market Enabler

Anyone tried uninstalling before? I've been using the OCLF since v1.3. Today with nothing to better to do, I uninstalled it. Quadrant dropped back to 900.... but.. I cannot find any difference in the user experience. Emails, Market etc all open as fast as when I was on the fix..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ludow:
Trust me. JM8 is reason for missing PROTECTED (not necessarily paid only) apps. Ryan's lagfix has nothing to do it with. I find this lagfix pretty stable. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Just a heads up, but this app should have a brand new lagfix (version 3) within the next 1 or 2 weeks! More info in the quote.

PS. If you thought the existing OCLF is fast.... :)

Great App but didn't worked for me

Hello Ryan and txs for this amazing app. I wanna know if you can help with this, I just download the OCLF from the market ver 1.6.7 but it doesn't work on my samsung galaxy s. when I enter to recovery mode and run the update.zip o get the error "E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted" I think my galaxy s model is not on the script galaxy s GT-I9000T.

can you advice me about what should I do about this.

txs a lot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
Well, I am new at this (my first android device) but I think that, if you don't keep your device "light" and with that I mean, if use touchwiz, and live wallpapers, installing all kind of widgets (background processes) and all that synch and background services, at the end of the line, no lag-fix will improve the basic user-experience no matter what the quadrant benchmark tells you.

And also avoid installing all kind of task managers/killers...just stick with one good one.

Well, if I'm wrong, I hope somebody will correct me
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
What Galaxy S do you have than? I have no idea what a GT-I9000T is. You may have to root in some other fashion if that root script doesn't work for you. Could you (or anybody else) give me more info on what a GT-I9000T is?

At any rate, if you use a different method to root, the lagfix should still work fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] zettai muteki:
I'm from Panama and this is the version sold here. I think, also in the rest of latin america , I'm not sure but this is the about of the phone

Model number : HT-I9000T

firmware version: 2.1 update1

baseban version: I9000TUBJG7

kerber version: 2.6.29 latin.umts@samsung #2

build number : ECLAIR .UBJG5

I tried already the one click method and mounting the update.zip on the root memory of the phone . Im not a pro at this so I don't know any other way to root the phone.

any advice or other method to use?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Hah.. interesting. Anyway, your phone is not the same as the International GT-I9000. The different model number usually means that the hardware is different in some way, and you probably don't want to flash I9000 firmwares onto your device. The lagfix has a good chance of working, but the root won't work - you'll have to try make an update.zip that will match your phone. Try check with other GT-I9000T users, if you can find any, or start a new post on this forum. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Itaintrite:
Ran it once. Vibrant rebooted but then stuck on black screen, the "hard" buttons still light up so I know it's on. Hard reset the phone and it's up and running :)
