Seems like the lack of space has caused some nasty problems. Samsung's font switcher does the same thing that mine does - it just copies the font. If there is no space, Samsung's switcher will fail too. You must have installed some type of root-requiring app which has used up a ton of your free space on /system. I'd recommend you re-flash with odin, personally.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] antiriad83:
Hi,

thanks for the answer.

Unfortunately I didn't install any root-requiring app. Phone was unrooted and I've rooted it with the One Click Lag Fix application.

There's a way to access to /system manually?

Why I can't access to market?

thank again
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
You can use 'adb shell' if you know linux at all. Your problem is pretty unique, and I don't really know how you would fix it, or how you got there in the first place. I'd recommend a reflash with Odin, anyway.

What? With the Epic? I don't think so. It's different.

Help

Ok will this void the warrenty for the captivate? Will it uninstall without a trace? Do I need to have a micro sd card? Thank you for your help this is my first android phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
No reports yet of any voided warranties on the SGS yet. It can uninstall without a trace, yes, and Android is complex enough that a service rep will not understand it anyway. Still, I've heard reports of iPhone warranties being voided for putting the phone in a humid city, so it's always very touch and go - but most service reps won't care. You don't need a micro sd card.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bigred1991:
Ok thank you. I guess I will try it. I am good with electronics but this stuff is over my head. Is it simple to install? Is there a downside to using it? Any other advise would be great. Ps how long does it take to install? Is it easy to uninstall?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
If you're not really comfortable with it, you might want to consider just leaving it, and waiting for Samsung to improve the device officially, although it's looking less likely that Samsung will do this.

That said, the app is made to be as easy to use as possible -- although I've probably done a poor job of it. ;) It takes a few minutes to install or uninstall, and it's all 'select the option and wait', besides for rooting which requires you to go into recovery mode. (volup+home+power, or you can root using the windows root app that you can find on xda).

Good luck, anyway. :)

How big do I make the lag fix partition?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dehem333:
Thanks , great app. Nice Quadrant score 2200 , thats great but still laggy sometimes? I've heard an update is coming , any news about that?

Do you need to undo this lagfix and also unroot when you're going to update to an Official new firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bigred1991:
How big does the partition need to be?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jurguh87:
hello I heard this is a great lagfix but i read there is also a update.zip present n the apk but i already rooted my phone sgs 2.1 update1 xjf3 is that a problem or can i still use this lagfix

Thank you

BUMP...

Can someone please answer this question?!?!?!?!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] iunlock:
Partition size???

I've searched for a while and found no definitive answer to this, which I'm sure there is a reason for that due to everyone's available space being different.

Ok so my free space was ~953MB

I kept the slider around the middle (as mentioned by someone, which was the closest answer I could find) and fired it up at 910MB

So depending on the available space one has, should you slide the bar all the way to the right and use all that's available? Or keep the slider in the middle? What ratio should one use????

EDIT: My slider set at the middle was 910MB, when my total available was 953MB....just to clarify...so yes I know the ratio of the slide bar was off...which raises another question....
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] alvinthen:
Hi, if i did a factory restore from the recovery menu, do i need to redo the lagfix again?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] romelr816:
it doesnt let me install ext2 i keep getting the message:

Could not copy library libext2_blkid.so: dd: can't open

'/system/lib/libext2@blkid.so': No such file or directory

What should i do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] moonrock:
Yeah, I'm rooted and tried multiple times (plus un-lag-fixed and lag fixed again) I let it spin and spin and spin for a good 5min before I finally closed it each time, thinking it was just taking awhile each time. Urg!

By "check that folder manually" you mean via Root Explorer/Astro, etc?

Looking in Root Explorer, I have the following folders in /data/data/com.android.settings/app_fonts:

Bauhaus

Chococooky

HelveticaNeue

HelveticaNeueLT

HumanaSans

ITCKrist

Monoglyceride

Nuevastd

sans.loc (file)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Update is coming, but it's waiting on supercurio to release. Probably looking at 1-2 weeks, I guess.

You need to undo the lagfix when you upgrade, but you can leave your phone rooted.

Anywhere in the slider is fine.

More to the left means you'll have less space for apps, but uninstalling will be easier.

More to the right means more space for apps, but you can have trouble uninstalling if you install a lot of apps after lagfixing.

The upcoming voodoo lagfix shouldn't have this problem.

Um... I have no idea. Anyway, I'll have up a new version of the app soon that will at least give you an error about what has gone wrong, rather than just a spinner. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kennytung:
Ok I installed this and it worked for me before but today I noticed that my phone become laggy again so I check One Click Lag Fix and it displayed disabled for the "lag fix plus" so I tried to apply the fix again but it said I don't have enough free space for /data. I then removed a lot of apps but still it display the same message again and again.

Anyone can help me with this?

By the way, where is the "slider" everyone talking about?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tonysac:
Hi again, a quick question here can we have task killer manager running in background or its useless? I have minfree on, and seems that everything works ok...

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Lostja:
how create more space?

Hi,

I am completely new to this and tried to run your programme. It says I have only 756 Mb free space. How do I free up space? There is hardly any data on it.

I tried running Tatuyama's update.zip but the process never finishes.

Your help would be much appreciated as the lag is driving me nuts
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tonysac:
Another question, today I updated lag fix from market and when I enter into application says one click lag fix unavailable...when I choose to redo one click lag fix says not enough memory...but quandrant score is still over 2k...should I do something else?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] d3an7an:
Apply 1.6.5, this error came back. 1.5.5 worked without error.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Any chance for the whole log?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mcgangsta:
I must be blind, but can this be applied to the JPC -firmware? When I tried, it said it only works for 2.1 :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
It works, but you'll have to root it yourself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mcgangsta:
Yep, I noticed this after some digging around. Turned out to be a "10-click-lag-fix" this time around :D

Boosted Quadrant -points from ~950 to ~1950, 2.1 got around 2185 or something like that, but this is still an improvement :)

Thanks for your quick response though and keep up the great work :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Val3r10:
I was planning to apply this lagfix but just downgraded from the too buggy JPC to the latest stock rom. So I guess I'm waiting for this new upcoming release to apply the fix.

Is there any feature/improvement list we can find somewhere to evaluate if it's worthing to wait for or applying the existing in the meantime ?

This case, could you please better explain this:

How the partition size affects the uninstallation procedure? I'm interested because I'm starting from a clean state after resetting my phone and would apply the OCLF before goin on installing (and uninistalling) hundreds of stuff, as I usually do.

So, at the moment, my free space is at maximum, and I planned to stay around 600-700 mb for the fix partition.

Is the loopback option such added "trouble" you talk about ?

Thank you very much
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] squyerkul:
Uhm help please, after installing the app and running everything as instructed, then when it comes to the reboot the device part after installing the lagfix, I hear the boot up sound but get a black screen, but my return button and the menu button still light up, but the screen is dark. any idea? another soft reboot still do the same thing, I dont see the logo too either.

edit: uh nvm, the logo comes now, without sound, like 5 minutes later... after the black screen and it resume to boot normally it seems.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] moonrock:
Ha! Oh well. I will suffer with the default font ;) Thank you for all your hard work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] g00ndu:
RyanZA, i tried your oclf.apk, lagfix it and then unlagfix it. after that, when i tried to lagfix it again, there were some errors regarding about loopback (the bug report i sent to u via gmail). probably that is why the realbench was always crashing.

i'm on xxjpc. i reflashed and run realbench and this time round it went smoothly. i'm not sure what causes the error in the lagfix again, maybe it is just me who had fooled too much with the phone. :D

just wanna let you know.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Phk:
Ryan you're the man.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] icapturecastles:
Forgive me if this has been answered previously, but I'm just wondering whether this is only for rooted phones? If not, does it root your phone as part of the installation? I have some concerns about rooting my new phone (insurance etc) so am not sure whether this will be worth it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cantIntoCode:
Omg... Straight from 800 to 2200 in quadrant. This lag fix is awesome!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jsparakov:
Does anyone know why Samsung chose to use a proprietary file system? Why go through all that work to create/use RFS when the typical file systems available are doing so much better in performance? RyanZA also says in his FAQ that RFS wears down on the life span of storage more. So confusing.

An article on Android Spin regarding lag fixes (like this one and JAC's) mentions that the Galaxy S doesn't use the expensive and fast but small NAND Flash Memory and chose to throw in a 8/16GB internal SD card instead.

So could it have something to do with, for example, trying to keep it from being error prone as they claim in the name ("Robust")? Power consumption?

Please correct me in any way, like if my premise is wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AlgorithmX:
Could this fix work on the Verizon version (fascinate) even though it only has 2gb internal memory?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
It's probably something closer to the old unix saying, "Those who don't understand UNIX are condemned to reinvent it, poorly." I don't think Samsung really knew what it was trying to do with a linux filesystem, and just used their featurephone filesystem that they licensed/changed from Microsoft.

As far as the internal SD card - the apple iphone uses the same design, and it is proven to work. They use HFS+ though, which is almost identical to the EXT2 used in this lag fix - and it shows. The SGS actually does have a few hundred mb of NAND flash memory too, but it is largely unused, as all the OS files (and more) are instead loaded into a big ramdisk (another mistake imo).

(All speculation below)

It basically comes down to massive software engineering mistakes, based on Samsung not having experience in this type of thing from years of relying on Microsoft for their software, and their primarily Korean work force not having an adequate understanding of what all of this techno stuff so. ;) On the bright side, the guys working on Android over in Korea are now having a nice crash course in figuring this stuff out - probably with management firing/hiring new people every week. ;) (Total speculation ends!)

As far as the Epic, I have no idea if it will work or not. You can try install the app and see if any options are green. :)

Hi I downloaded the lag fix but when I do the root method first my device gets stuck on the screen where it boots up....when I hold the volume keys both and the power button it just keeps blinking and never takes me to the recovery screen to root my phone any help what's going on

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bobler420:
Hey I see there's a update for the app do I need to uninstall the lag fix or anything first, sorry if this is a noob question
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Leoslick:
yea, it said earlier in the thread that you should uninstall the lagfix but u can keep your phone rooted. I am not completely sure if you should also remove the ext2 tools, but it didnt say you should anywhere before.....

Now my own question....

Will my boot animation always come a couple seconds after i hear the tmobile sound? or would applying the restore boot animation fix this?? I just installed and went from around 800 to 2113. Besides that it is noticably faster doing normal things.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Nope, check the change log - it's just bug fixes and UI stuffs. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] danamoult:
:< Please specify this on the first post, I'm at this moment removing the lagfix, which I wouldn't have done if I had read this already. :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Ah... alright. Not really sure how to word it. I'll add something though!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bigred1991:
Made everything fast except the browser. The stock browser now takes me forever to open. Why is this? Samsung captivate
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Little Dragon:
just wanted to say thanks for this awesome little program!

i'm a noob into the Android world and my Cappy was lightning fast at first then bogged down good.

even i managed to get the program working (hardest part was finding how to get into recovery mode) and with a few clicks, rooted, ext2'd and lagfixed

before: 897 on quadrant

first reboot: 2187

second reboot: 1919

regardless, it is a _vast_ improvement over 897 and now i am rooted with no existing data lost:D

to the poster above, my stock browser opens in a snap....

How can i use this fix, without coming in Recovery Mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ziggy_ua:
RyanZA, thanks a lot for your work!

Have a question here-I have a 1.6.0 version installed now. Just noticed there has been an update..Should I install newer version or there's no need?

Also I've noticed that after few days of work the phone goes slower and I have to reboot it..after the reboot it's very fast, then again after some time it slowers down..why is that so?

Sorry for my newbie questions)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Phk:
About the RFS, when i have it mounted, the "mount" command retrieves a "vfat" filesystem so RFS must be some kind of a container (like .ISO for example).

The only weird thing i've noticed is that I can delete stuff within the RFS but it will never shrink (like VMWare .vmdk files), and I wasn't able to find an application to do that!

I've edited my own CSC for Portugal TMN Provider, removing all the "Sapo" (garbage) stuff, so cache.rfs should have gone from 13MB to 3MB... But it doesn't! The RFS file still has 13MB length, although its contents are only 3MB...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
It isn't really like a .vmdk file, it's more like linux's LVM, I think. RFS seems to be some type of interface between the hardware and a FAT32 partition sitting on top of it, with the interface adding journaling support somehow. It doesn't seem like a good idea to me, personally. It also makes messing with RFS very trial-and-error, but supercurio seems to have worked it out pretty well. You can resize RFS as if it was FAT32, as long as you don't plow through the journals and other special stuff, which for /data is apparently somewhere around 200mb. All seems very strange to me, anyway. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kennytung:
Still waiting for some answers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Phk:
So how to resize it ???

read this:

RFS Wiki

and this

Samsung Documentation

The only way i can think of, is to create a new container with the new "Partition Size + 1.4MB for Journal" and then move the files inside; However, i cannot find "ffdisk" tool within the SGS. (it should be /sbin/ffdisk)... Ryan, have you got it elsewhere? Does your current rom have it?

Cheers ;) Phk

EDIT#1: BTW, its not an hardware interface, you can see in the images that it's a userspace block device interface! About the 170mb limit, it only exists when using standard journal (1.4MB) with FAT16 version =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Nope.. don't have any partitioning tools. :( Other people have them, but aren't interested in sharing unfortunately. I'm trying to set up the sources and that so I can build them though. I'll post them here if I manage to succeed at it! (It could take awhile. :) )

BTW: If anybody is interested in advert income for Android apps - this app is making about $1 a day from ads. Woohoo, soon I can buy a coffee. :)

Regards to the 'out of space' error above, if the lagfix is already installed, you seem to get that error. I'll fix it up so it will tell you 'lag fix is already installed', or something... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ziggy_ua:
Could anyone pls help me with the answer?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
*Quiet sobs can be heard from the corner*

The newer versions are just bugfixes and new features. You can update the app without doing anything else. The lagfix itself (OCLF V1+) has not changed since V1.2 or something, since it works fine! There will be new lagfix options in the future, probably with a '2.0' version number on the app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
Wow. That's a post to remember... Who are you, man??

I'm a newbie, just bought (couple of weeks) my first Android device; I thought I did enough reading before buying the sgs, but realize now that i didnt read enough.

So other devices running android, like HTC Desire won't lagg?

Don't tell me de HTC also got voice dialing and voice dialing over bluetooth working properly on their Android devices?

Or it's really a pure Android limitation?

As I said didnt do enough reading or tryings, but one tutorial made it so easy to get JPC so I did it; In JPC you can activate voice dialing via bluetooth(Unlike Eclair2.1) but that Pico engine (or whatever application they use) is just crap.

I cannot get real disappointed with Android OS; because of its flexibility (and 3rd party developers), I could get offline navigation working like a charm with any proper navigation software, even the ones not built for bluetooth connection.

Anyway, congratulations on your great work(eventhough I didnt try it yet) and good willing.

And thank you for sharing your talent and wizzzdom!

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] BioDMetdic:
Still have an I/O error

I went through the steps so well outlined in jjroid.wordpress.com/2010/08/25/one-click-lag-fix-for-samsung-galaxy-s-vibrant besides the rooting process because a previous update.zip had taken care of this. One of the first ones for the Vibrant that came out. Anyway, I like learning how to fix it myself instead of posting the same friggin question over and over in the same thread but I am out of links and walkthroughs.

Here's what I did, exactly.

DL OCLF from the Market

Phone is already rooted, no need to Root

Install EXT2 tools

Check space --1,300Mb

Install Lag Fix with 900Mb Partition------Runs fine until Could not copy over data: cp: read error: input output error just after copying folder data to EXT2

I have a screenshot for what it showed but I'm new so my posting are restricted.

Ok. Just tried it again. Same result.

Alright, lets backtrack.

Uninstall EXT2 tools, unroot, reboot

OCLF- Root, EXT2 tools, Check Space 1300Mb

Lag Fix with 900Mb Partition----Same result as above.

Maybe its the APK (NOT the real APK, just a clich when I DL-ed it)

Uninstall OCLF

Reinstall OCLF from the Market

Same result.

I'm stumped. I looked through the 77 pages of this thread plus the Vibrant one but no one really responded to the small post there. Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ms_Vibrant:
