Risk vs Reward

I was like many others...been reading many threads about rooting and lag fix. Was hestitating for many months and was hoping the Froyo would solve the lag problem. Been waiting eagerly and at the same time been frustated by the slow update from Optus. Finally got the Froyo update, did it and more disappointed with the update. My phone lag even more and I had to factory reset the phone. Did not install anymore apps from the market. Felt like cheap phone and not living to the potential of the great hardware. Then my browser started to become a problem. It forced closed all the time. Finally, I decided to go with the root and lag fix. Read all the instruction and decided to go for Z4root and OCLF, which seemed the easiest and safest. May be I was lucky, the installation was very smooth without any problem at all and my phone works great now. I installed root explorer afterwards to get rid of the telco craps apps. Phone works like a charm. Apps like Facebook and Skype were damn slow and painful apps before the root and OCLF, but now runs so smooth.

The only thing i noticed have happened twice was the data network issue. The phone showed signal but could not make a call until i had to restart it. I have searched online, it seems like a common issue for SGS (not rooted). Finger cross it is not to do with rooting and OCLF.

RyanZA - may be you can help to answer my issue.Thank you for your great work and keep it going for the community.

In conclusion, it is up to individual. If you are happy to live with the slowness and lagginess of your expensive phone then why bother to risk your phone. Any modification by non tehnician (IT idiots like us) definitely have risk. I consider them are very safe based on my experience but again may be I was lucky. Risk vs. Reward. Want a flying phone, go ahead without hestitation!!! Good luck guys!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] glaucocastro:
Well,

I think I have tryed all the possibles ways, but with no luck. Everytime I try it, whenI boot the phone it stays in the black screen with all the buttons light up, and vibranting twice every couple of seconds. Fortunently, I could hard reset and have my phone back. I would really like to have my lag fixed, but I don`t know what to do. If anyone have any suggestion, I would appreciate it.

Might be around but I couldn't find it, how to disable OCLF Lag Fix, just Undo at the menu ?

Fix on galaxy i9000 in the us

You rock brother. Im running the fix on a u.s. Sgs i9000. I updated to the official froyo update. "sad trumpet noises!!!!" thanks to your lag fix its all better now. I am now re-impressed with sgs. Thanks again brother for idiot proofing it for those of us who don't know the ins and outs of computers and phones :d , keep up the good work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Grasfer:
Rawr, was just about to click download file and it disappear, i guess your uploading 1.3 then :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nalinbhatt:
Wooooooo...Quadrant score 2089. Awesome.

One question though....I dont know what happened to that 900+ mb. Now only 0.98 GB avalible to install apps? How can I still use the space that gone after applying once click lag fix ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Yeah. You win some, you lose some. :(

You could technically

remove the lag fix

uninstall all your apps

reinstall the lag fix with the bar set all the way to the far right

reinstall your apps

or

you can try to use the 2-3 script which will give you 1.5GB of app space (if it works properly)

At any rate, it should be a temporary thing until samsung/someone gets us out a firmware that doesn't need a fix like this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nalinbhatt:
Thanks for the info RyanZA. Just to confirm that it's working fine on Canadian Galaxy S (Bell ), here is the screeshot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ScaGin:
I've tried several of the lag fixes, all give 2000+ quadrant scores, phone is quite faster, but all of these fixes will not allow font changes. Choose the font, reboot and you keep what ever was loaded when you installed the lag fix.

I love the fix though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Not sure why, but font changing works for me. I just changed to the 'Rosemary' font and it worked fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sharky34:
Well, well, well, it worked :).

First of all, I downloaded 1.3 because I am in JM5 though I had got EXT2 tools through 1.1 without problem (/data/oclf/busybox was there).

I run OneClick (slider almost on the right), got the "internal memory low" pop-up and everything was done pretty quick (2 or 3 minutes while I 50+ apps).

Phone got into reboot after the 10 sec downcount.

First bootscreen: OK.

Black screen: h*$èy s*àt, that was really long. That black screen was awful and I thought my phone was bricked.

Until ... second bootscreen. The animated one.

Nothing more to say: 2000+ on quandrant, looks fast (wow Asphalt5 loads so quick), all apps there (even paid ones). I just lost my wallpaper in ADW launcher (back to default one).

No problem for the moment, just 1 or 2 minutes of panic.

Thanks, Ryan.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Good to hear. :D

Yeah that first boot can take a long time if you have a lot of apps installed. It's cause it is removing your old data off as cleanup in the safest way, so that you don't have the 'low space' warning. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ScaGin:
Just for grins and giggles I tried all of my fonts. This is with your latest apk install.

None of them take, still on the original font before the lag fix. Very mysterious.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] FadeFx:
hi ryan, just thaught if it was possible to have a resize option, so one could reszie to smallest possible size (what is actually occupied by data) before doing a backup, this would minimize the time the backup takes...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] galaxysman:
ok this is working now, went into restore menu and cleared data/format rebooted tried again and it worked, Quadrant score 2175.

Thanks to Ryan for this and for his quick fixes when someone reports a problem top guy :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Enlarging a filesystem while it is running shouldn't be a problem.. but shrinking it needs an unmount as far as I know... that sounds like it could cause problems.

Anybody know anything about on-line shrinking of EXT2?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] FadeFx:
you could do it during a boot loop, just detect how much space is used, let the user set the size of the volume he desires, max is all available space minus ~200kb, min is occupied space, and then do the actual resizing during a reboot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] scouzer:
Hey Ryan, 1.3 fixed that problem for me. But I have a new one.

Earlier in the thread you suggested to max out the slider to the right. I applied Lagfix, and installed ONE app on reboot now I have Memory Full warnings. What happened?

Good news though: This is the first lagfix that I've successfully removed after installing without a full wipe.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dereknas:
JP3 working

Confirmed it is working with JP3. This is an existing install with applications and and not a fresh install.

Initially the slider was pushed to the max but got the insufficient space.

Then moved the slider to around 1400+ then re-run the lag-fix. Everything is ok after that.

Quadrant score is 1848.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] shma00:
Font can't be changed.

Same here, I updated latest one, OCLF1.3. Still I couldn't changed the font. My font is still default one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] heeljeff:
Running 1.3....always ends with "broken pipe" for me.... :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] heeljeff:
Not giving up I tried 5 or 6 more times...all broken pipe, until finally it "worked."

One warning on mem....rebooting now...

edit -

It's up, w/ quadrant over 2200 (wow!)..But, I still get low storage warnings. My settings shows Total space 12.78GB, Available 11.48, and For application storage it shows 184MB. I set the slider in the one click fix as far right as I could go, which was about 1427ish.

Any ideas on what I can do??
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] thunderteaser:
I had a quick look at the code and I have to say you really thought about anything! I think your OneClick is the safest and user-friendliest lag fix! I'll keep waiting for the 2-3 APK version, though, I like mount points most! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] raduque:
Undid my app-cache to NAND (after doing a Nandroid backup) and did this OCLF... got a 2193 in Quadrant. Love that speed.

However.

Some apps are misbehaving. Asphalt 5 is missing text in some dialogs and screen elements in some screens are missing (ex: custom paint color screen has no controls on-screen to change the colors). Maps locked up the device (didn't happen before the lagfix). Also seems very sluggish to respond to a press of the power button when locked.

It makes the phone VERY fast, the way it should've been (dammit, Samsung, we didn't NEED a stupid proprietary file system built of FAT32 garbage), but it seems a tick unreliable now.

I'm going to have to revert, unfortunately.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] heeljeff:
Went ahead and removed the fix. My app storage went back up to 1.66GB. Tried to reapply, and got a few more broken pipes, but managed to get it to work with the slider at 1100. After installing the fix, I have 597MB available for apps, and quadrant is at 2272. I don't have any storage warnings or red sd card icons at the top of my screen, so I'm happy. Thanks Ryan!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
Does this work with Samset 1.9f ?

Coz when I click on OCLF v1+ it tells me i already have a lag fixe installed. All i did was reflash to a fresh JM5 + installed Samset 1.9f and no other lag fixes..

EDIT:

Oh wait nvm the error points to the playlogos being smaller so I ticked on your restore boot logo and ran the lag fix, selected 1.5GB for the lag fix and now im getting internal Mem full error, is this expected and now my internal memory storage says theres 200mb free understorage and your memery checker says 1.5gb so i would assume i still have a real 1.5GB ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cosmoboi:
.mine don't work
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ashwinds:
Uninstalled 1.2 and installed 1.3. The restore boot animation was active this time but I ran the lagfix first with slider maxed out (i think it was close to 1550). Installation went with just one close to memory full warning. Rebooted and within a few seconds got an error about internal memory being almost full. Killed all open applications and went to the lagfix app but this time restore boot animation was disabled.

The memory error was worrying me, so uninstalled the lagfix. Rebooted and re-ran the app.

This time, I restored boot animation FIRST - went without an error and I finally have my boot animation back! It has a placebo effect that the boot is faster because you dont stare at a black screen :)) Thanks RyanZA.

Followed it up with re-running lagfix, this time with the slider set around 1420. Lagfix ran without any errors, rebooted, saw the boot logo still intact. Quadrant shows around 2100.

Looks like I have nothing further to report / request. Thanks RyanZA for the faster-than-you-can-install fixes and of course the lagfix itself!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tommy96814:
it saids to install busybox from the menu but i do not see the option when i hit menu.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] trojan89:
Hi everyone, first post here. I just used this lagfix and got a quadrant score of 2060 (JF3, no previous lag fixes used). The lag fix worked perfectly first time and was very easy to use. HUGE thanks to Ryan for his hard work to create this! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] evvythomas:
Wow man thanks!

My first smartphone, the Vibrtant is 3 days old. This is the first root and lagfix I've tried (after much research) and it's obviously faster than stock and my first Quadrant run gives me 2195. The first install failed and Im sorry that I dont remember at what point. But I rebooted and it went through full install after that.

One other small thing I noticed (not your software) is that holding the volume key while turning the phone on would not put it into recovery mode no matter how many different ways I tried it. I ended up using a 'one click root' program to root it then your software took care of the rest.

Thanks again!

EDIT: I remember now.. It was the broken pipe deal that failed it the first try. But the 2nd try worked fine, no changes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kalpik:
Same problem with me! Flashed JM5 + Samset 1.9f. The app says playlogos is less than 5kb.. What gives? No other lagfix applied!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
I believe samset has the external SD card lagfix included.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kalpik:
No.. I've not applied the ext4 kernel.. Just plain Samset.. You should have a look at the playlogos file on Samset, maybe its a bit different?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ickyboo:
I think its because Samset 1.9 E and F removed the boot logo, just choose the option to install ext2 files (as samset uses older busybox) and then choose to restore the logo, once done set up lagfix as normal. Worked fine for me. :)

Happy hunting
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kalpik:
Yup.. Restoring the bootlogo worked..

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] odyssey61:
I have been using RyanZA's lagfix 2.2 for over a week now. It was running well but some widgets had to be readded every time I rebooted the phone and some market apps werent installing correctly. I know 2.3 came out to fix this but hadnt been concerned at that time. So today I thought I would give this one a go.

I ran the unlag batch file for 2.2 and that went perfectly. I then ran the OCLF apk and that also ran perfectly. Quadrant scores are the same, lag I believe is less than before and my widgets stay on the screen and the market works perfectly.

Awesome work RyanZA!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] daveydave46:
Nooby first go

Everyone this is absoloutley awesome. I have had my Orange Galaxy S for about a month now and had concerns about rooting and lag fixing because of my limited knowledge.

But after reading all posts and applying your fix I have a quadrant of 2070 and a lightning fast phone. Keep up the good work Ryan.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] gamer4ever:
Hi installed the apk file and applied the first step that is root

After installing root i have restarted and tried for restore mode but my phone got hanged in "Downloading Do not turn of the target"

Till now i haven't applied any fix. mine is indian version.. any suggestion
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] daveydave46:
I did the same you have hit volume down instead of volume up when going into boot screen mode just turn it off and do it again and you will be in the right screen
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] amertak:
Applied without problems, Quadrant score 2157 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Vln_Thomas:
Just installed, works pretty good: quadrant 2258 points and a lot faster.

Market is also a lot faster, but i can´t download application although they are shown as "downloading" (nothing happens).

Do I need to install a MarketFix? Where do I find it?

@ RyanZA: Any plans for your 2-3 FixVersion as an APK?

Would be nice if to:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] quinckekorotkoffqk:
instructions are not clear about how to use this apk file.

can anybody explain it ?///:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Seifer1975:
Hi, I tried the lagfix, there was no error but quadrant still returned only 895. When I tried to rollback, it gave me an error to say that my EXT is using more memory than my RFS or something. Can somebody advise?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kalpik:
Ok, found a bug.. The app always overshoots the image size from what i select! I selected 15xx MB, and it created a 17xx MB file! A few MB here and there is acceptable, but this!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ScaGin:
Ryan has stated that there is a 200mb buffer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Techno79:
Thanks for the help. Yes, managed to recover the phone via the recovery menu and factory reset. Luckily I had set Titanium to do a backup each night so didn't lose too much.

Can't remember what size I set the EXT2 partition for, I set it to the maximum the slider would allow (probably around 1400MB and 2nd time I tried it was at 1600MB). Anyway, both times it seemed to do the same Force Close issue so I've reverted the phone and will try it again some other time. I must be doing something wrong if everyone else seems to be ok with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kalpik:
I think by buffer he means that the app will leave 200 mb free in /data even if you slide it all the way to the right.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] snowdogging:
I may have found a bug with 2.3....the script version, not the apk.

I installed 2.3 and then uninstalled it and then installed it again. After installing it the second time I got some errors that the loop already existed.

My phone is complaining of low space and my mount output look like this now. I have tailed the output because it is showing loop0 about 300 times. How do I fix this so I can get this thing installed correctly and what does a correct mount output with this fix look like? Thanks!!!!

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rvnlrd:
That was not the case for me.

I tried this fix just a minute ago with a clean phone (no previous lag fixes, stock firmware) and the lag fix worked great. Phone felt much smoother and all. But I got the error regarding low internal memory (might not be the exact wording as my phone is not set to English). I had something like 187 mb left.

Going to try and remove the lagfix and redo it having the slider set lower. Just that the app tells me I need 40% battery before :)

Edit: Putting the slider at ~1350 instead of ~1570 solved my problem. Everything is working great now! Thanks RyanZA for this simple root/lagfix!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] drunkentoaster:
just a question, if i were to uninstall the lag fix how do i get rid of the ext2 tools i had to put on the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Thanks, yeah that is a bug!

I'll make a v1.4, will be out in a few mins to fix it!

I think I broke the buffer in 1.3! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] evvythomas:
I had to figure it out on my own as well. It's an executable file, so just plop it on your external card and then go to the file on your phone. You should have an option to install the app. That will put an app called 'One Click Lag Fix' in your applications folder. Open that and you'll get a list of options. I did each green one in order from top to bottom.

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nemethb:
Just did this on my SGS from Bell. I got a Quadrant score of 2273, but only after some fighting. The three button combo didn't work to get into recovery mode so I actually had to learn to use ADB. The only complaint I have is ThinkFree Office won't activate for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sharky34:
Do you mean that poeple having installed 1.3 will have to uninstall and reinstall?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nemethb:
ThinkFree Office gives me a "Failure of data transmission during product activation." or something along the lines of, Data connection required. Is there a fix for this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] drunkentoaster:
Hey, can someone please tell me what files or folders are added when copying over the ext2 tools, I undid the lag fix and would like to get rid of these files. Also, would a factory reset get rid of those files?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
If you don't have a 'no space warning' then there is no need. If do you have the warning, then 1.4 will fix it.

Those files are needed at bootup to check the EXT2 filesystem.

I'll add an option in 1.5 to remove them if you have also removed the lagfix.

Factory reset should remove them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] floepie:
Does this APK copy and move app data during boot like the most recent Tatuyama update.zip does? Or, does this process occur while the system is running for those that have used this APK?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] m4r10:
Thank you Ryan! I have never owned a smart phone, let alone rooted a phone. This was very simple and now I'm scoring 2185 on quadrant benchmark.:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nemethb:
I need some help. I accidentally deleted the update.zip file while the application was installed. As a result I can no longer unroot the phone and I can't reroot the phone to regain the update.zip file. What do I do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nemethb:
I also tried resetting to factory settings (I wiped it) and the superuser is still there. I can't get rid of the root or superuser!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] evvythomas:
Have you tried manually placing the update.zip file on the internal sd root? You can find it all over the web.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nemethb:
They're all the same?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nemethb:
I tried another update.zip to try and remove the root and superuser, but when I run it I get:

E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Now what?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] evvythomas:
Was the update.zip specific to your phone?
