[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
That's really strange, is this from a completely clean flash or do you have an existing root or any ROM packages on it?
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
Tay's thread only mentions that it was tested on JH2 and JH3... beta firmwares... any final word on if this works on the stock JF6 that every Captivate comes with?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
existing root with pkgs
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
There's no reason why it shouldn't, the file structure is the same :) There's a guy a few pages back who tried to install it and it didn't work (It didn't break his phone, just didn't apply), but after he nandroided back and tried again it *did* work.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Hmm something in there might have not settled with it, which ROM package were you using so I can try to replicate the problem?

And stupid question- you ran the "without root" version of the fix right?
[Captivate Android Development] ilyukha13:
Stupid question here... How do I check if it worked or not?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Quadrant is one way- your scores will be 1800ish if you used EXT4, 2200ish if you used EXT2.

The other way is to go to adb:

adb shell

su

df -h

If you see the word loop0 in there that means it worked :)
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Awwee my fonts wont apply. The phone reboots but it status default and the radio button even shows the new font selected :-(
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Hooray it's not just me!

Which version did you use? EXT2 or 4?
[Captivate Android Development] ilyukha13:
Thanks... I got 1700, so I guess it worked. It works faster, but I was not sure if it is just because of the reboot...

BTW, I don't even have any choices for fonts... just the default one.

P.S. Using EXT4
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
The captivate doesn't come with any fonts... there's a thread floating around somewhere where someone ripped all the fonts out of the vibrant and put them up in APK format :)

And yes, your phone will always be at it's fastest after a clean boot- the more stuff in memory the lower your quadrant score will get, but 1700 is right on track for a non-OC'd EXT4 install
[Captivate Android Development] Phaze13:
Zilch25 ,

Thanks for organizing the Lag Fix methods, my head was starting to spin trying to figure out which method to use with all the information and ways to do cropping up every day. This made it much easier.

andy2na,

Using Tayutama's Lag Fix. I just tried it on JF6, used the one without root since I was already rooted. Applied the LagFix_Ext4.sh via SL4A. Quadrant score of 1717. Phone feels much more responsive, it's almost like a new phone.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] _Opiate_:
Let me know when you guys get all the bugs worked out and ill re-flash my Vibrant and give the non root update a shot...already have my Captivate running perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yeah the old thread had turned into the Zilch/Tayutama conversation station.. and the OP had turned into a disaster with the rapid evolution of the fixes :)

Thanks for the pro JF6 testimony, I haven't personally tested it since lagfix 2.2, so it's good to know there aren't any outstanding problems there :D
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
The bugs should be worked out :) It seems like the issues so far have been due to existing root/ROMs- feel free to give it a shot, I'm sure Tayu would love some confirmation that it's working on the Vibrant
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
I did ext2 :-) I wants my bragging rights!
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Haha I did the same- but my fonts didn't work >=( Reverted to EXT4 and they came back. It's a mystery O_o
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Yea lol I want my big numbers but I think I want my handel gothic font more :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Just take your quadrant screenshots now and switch over... no one will know :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] _Opiate_:
Vibrant is a go!
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Huzzah! We've got cross-platform confirmation :D
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
I need to watch out for you, your a sneaky one lol
[Captivate Android Development] kkeo:
Did the lag fix without a reflash, worked like a charm, was a bit worried after the ext4 script did its thing and rebooted, went through the galaxy s splash screen then went blank for about 3 mins, almost power cycled the phone, but it eventually came up.

1700-1800 quadrant scores and I can download more than two apps from the market at the same time.
[Captivate Android Development] _Opiate_:
Indeed we do. Let me know if there's anything else that needs test. I'll be the Vibrant genie pig.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
JH2 noroot ran, yes. this was ext4
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
I didn't think the ext4 worked on JF6 because the ROM didn't support it but only worked with ext2...
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
The update.zip method circumvents the kernel limitation, it will work with a stock kernel :D
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Have you managed to get it running? If no, you did mention you were running a custom ROM, which one, it could help in troubleshooting the problem (Unless you figured it out)
[Captivate Android Development] Peaster111:
Tayutama's v2.3.2 LagFix gets my vote. :)

It worked perfect... No issues here. I'm using ext4... I got a Quadrant score of 1812 right out of the box. :D
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
Looking forward to trying this out, but having a ***** of a time getting her to master clear..... :mad:
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
If you're using the one click downloader- I've never gotten master clear to work =P Just using it do a normal flash works just as well and doesn't hang for an eternity :D
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
I gave up and went to jh3 w sre1.1

All is good now on ext4 and 1.2oc.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Glad it's working... still bizarre since SRE uses the EXACT same scripts this does lol

Another one for the "Samsung WTF" file
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
thats exactly the tool...

a program that could run off the external SD and perform a master clear of the phone would be niiiiiiiice... hint hint nudge nudge wink wink....

:p
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Might be closer than you think actually, the I9000 guys are working with a thing called Redbend (Designgears is adding it to SRE) that allows you to use the same tools Samsung would use for OTA updates in order to flash things like kernels from an update.zip - how awesome is that?
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
niiiiiice

that def would be the shiznit
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
Looks like there have been stuff going on while i have been sleeping...
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yup, but it's been good stuff :D

WHY AM I NOT ASLEEP
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
Like i would know... it's 1am your time..
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Don't remind me! I put the fires out in the I9000 thread too :) These people are getting 24 hour tech support for free!
[Captivate Android Development] Fortune090:
So far, with this I'm getting a 100% fail rate with ext2... sl4a runs and everything, but as soon as it reboots, the userinit doesn't do anything, and I don't see results. Just decided to try it again... Run unfix and I'm getting a load of fc's. Back to ext4... :(
[Captivate Android Development] gerbick:
Bit the bullet and used this with my JH3 firmware that's been rooted and whatnot with Unleash the Beast 0.2. Used the EXT4 instead - encountered problems before with EXT2 (call me cautious) - and all went well this time.

Zero probs, no apps disappeared, market is still operational, boot doesn't take forever and a day. Congrats, good work guys.

Edit 1: Weird thing, now my computer doesn't recognize it when plugged in via USB. I had to plug it up to get the file over; but now? Nothing. Still the same settings - Mass Storage.

Edit 2: Weird... now it's back. Another reboot, my quadrant score is actually higher, the boot went even faster and I got USB storage back again. It did (once) randomly remove itself, but it's done that since I've had it - Win7 64-bit Ultimate and it's sometimes flaky.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Is that happening *just* with EXT2? The scripts are pretty much identical for both varieties
[Captivate Android Development] tbrouwer:
Ok, well I applied the .zip update, then ran the ext4 fix. Phone rebooted, came back up and all kinds of **** was missing - like my phone was restored to 2 weeks ago kind of thing.

So I run the removefix script from the sl4a app, phone reboots, sits at galaxy S logo for a couple minutes then just shuts off.

Looks like I get to figure out how to use Odin today! :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
That's bizarre... were you running any custom ROMs or anything? Also if you were previously rooted did you run the script without the included root?
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
Finally home... was home 3 hours ago and then i got pulled out to do shopping... gah

Anyway ill see what i can find out now :) also changing update.zip abit so it removes old root first before applying the new one with this fix... should sort that one out atleast
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Probably a good idea... having a root and noroot version tends to confuse people. Some people see noroot and think "Oh cool! It wont root me" or vice-versa haha. So far though that seems to be the extent of the issues- except for SRE users still having SL4A problems =P
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
Got no idea why they got it... but seems a few on the i9000 board also have it... hmm and i got no idea why ext2 is giving so many problems...
[Captivate Android Development] tbrouwer:
No, I was not running any custom roms ... stock captivate. I am rooted and used the noroot file.

Had previously used ryanza's lagfix but undid that before ... not sure if that has anything to do with it. Also had some OTHER lagfix before that one. I noticed at the end of the script running it said something about file already exists right before rebooting ... maybe something from an old lagfix?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
For what it's worth EXT2 is still working for me... hell I had to dig up an old version of the script to unfix my nandroid from one of the test versions, then I applied the noroot version of 2.3.2 and refixed it EX2 and it went smooth as butter =P
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
We know you are special... Or atleast your phone is :p
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Hey, no picking on my fontless Captivate- Clienterror has a special needs phone too! I'm not alone :D
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
Btw i can make the fix run without using sl4a at all... i can do so it auto applies when you reboot after flashing the update.zip in recovery but that would mean 3-4 different zips... 1 for each fix, 1 for remove fix and dunno about check space
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
As cool as that sounds I'm sure having that many update.zips to juggle would confuse the crap out of people unless they had some central location to Choose their option... I mean look at what having a root and a no-root version is doing already- and god help us if you update the uninstaller script and the user has an old version that's slightly different and downloads the wrong thing D=

Maybe use something like gscript instead of SL4A to select the update.zips or choice and invoke a recovery reboot?
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
:D was just an easy way around the sl4a app :D
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
It might be time to add some kind of UI to the whole deal that works on a really REALLY basic level and just moves/renames the files to run on bootup- that way it's all still in the same package to the end-user but has the perks of having a million update.zips haha
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
I might have an new update.zip for you later that auto removes any old sl4a app from /system/app and installs it to /data/app instead so people can remove it themself like any normal app... also might have a fix for the last people that got force close with sl4a
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
@tayutama - So i installed this. Ran the ext4 fix. had no results. tried to remove the hack, and it immediately reset and reset the phone to my old rom that I install. I ran a nandroid backup restore. That old rom should have been gone.

Now, it was stuck in an endless cycle of force closes. had to try to one click odin. Wouldn't work. Now I am stuck with a phone, with a dotted line to a triangle with an exclamation point, to a computer.

Any clue on what I can do now?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
That's what most people consider a "brick" these days. Assuming you're running on an AT&T firmware there's a couple different ways to get into download mode:

Take out the battery

Pull out SIM/SD

Start up Odin

Put your battery back in

Plug USB cable in

Hold Vol/Up down and you should get the download screen so you can reflash
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Okay! Does this version address the possible "root confusion" issue too?
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
Following that to a T, it is still putting me to that screen. As soon as i plug the usb in, it turns the phone on to charge the battery (which is at 97 percent).

EDIT: PHEW I didn't turn the phone on, let it turn on by pluggin in the USB, and by holding just the volume keys it went to download.

Thanks Zilch25!
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
yeah it removes any old superuser.apk from /system/app and also su from /system/xbin
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Hmm okay, well there's the other option-

Yank out the battery/sim/etc

Stick the battery back in

Hold Vol Up/Down and hold power

Continue holding power, the screen will go blank again, keep holding power, screen will turn on again, continue holding power until the screen goes black again, as soon as it does release the power button but continue holding the volume buttons. Should get you to a download screen!

After that shut down Odin (just to be safe), start it up again and attach USB

Edit: Haha missed your edit :D Glad it's working- theres about a million and one ways to put these things in DL mode
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Perfect! You're getting closer and closer to a script as reliable as a script can be!
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
I don't know android much, but I do know computers! So i knew there were options, but just didn't know them. I'm glad I didn't do one of those

"OMG MY PHONE IS BRICKED HELP ME HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!!!"

:D
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
You forgot the part where you create an identical hysterical post in every SGS subforum on XDA :)
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
I guess I am not such a freakazoid like that. I've read a post on here, then went to the vibrate forums and seen the same post, as well as the i9000 forums. I wanna shoot myself for that stuff.

On the bright side, I am SO glad I bought ROM manager and supported Koush (is that his name?) because this thing has saved my ass so many times now. I love having an open platform to do stuff like this (curses nokia and the symbian OS....).
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yeah ROM Manager was worth every penny :D Saves me countless hours daily. It's also amazing having so many different possibilities for modifications on these devices- it keeps everything interesting
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
I have 2 roms currently. I'd love to run a stock galaxy s rom, but the bugs in the rom are just too annoying for me. If they can figure out how to clear the emails and the text messages, i'd love to try one.

This is my frist android phone. I've had so much fun messing with it, that I don't know why I haven't gone to it sooner. Then I realize, I hate everyone but AT&T and I had to wait for their crippled version. This is why XDA exists. To truly free us from our carriers.
[Captivate Android Development] phishie:
Having some trouble trying to mount my phone with write privileges. I can't run adb remount or adb mount. I can't push files to / or /sdcard, either returns a permission denied error. I made a post in Q&A here but haven't had any luck. Can anyone lend a hand?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
You dont have your Windows file copying enabled by any chance do you?

(You know, Notification bar drop down, click to mount)
[Captivate Android Development] schtuka:
Pardon me. How do I check if fix works? I flashed update.zip and then run ext4 option. It did rebooted as supposed to.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Install quadrant and let it run through, you should be getting 1700-1900ish results... stock is in the 800s :)
[Captivate Android Development] schtuka:
thanks man. ok, I did and it shows my device in orange 2025. I guess it worked.

BTW Zilch,

I went back from SRE last night via Clockwork backup and then just installed Unfaithfull and Taytama fix separately. Oh, and I found out that Captivate on T-Mobile will not run 3G, only Edge.
[Captivate Android Development] phishie:
I might, I'm not totally sure what you mean. When I pull down my notification bar on my Captivate while it's hooked up to my PC it shows:

"Turn off USB storage

Select to turn off USB storage."

and

"USB debugging connected

Select to disable USB debugging."

Do I need to turn off USB storage?

*edit* Was able to push files to /SDCard with USB storage off, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
That's what I was talking about :D Sorry didn't have my phone connected to the PC so I couldn't grab the exact wording
[Captivate Android Development] phishie:
So now that I have my edited hosts file pushed to the /sdcard I tried this...

adb shell

su

And I get..

"mount: permission denied (are you root?)"
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
If you're copying to /sdcard you shouldn't need to be in the adb shell at all.

From the command line-

adb push hosts /sdcard

That's assuming you have the hosts file located in your ADB tools folder on your computer, otherwise you'll have to add the full path into that string.

Once you've got it to the card you can use ADB to move it around

ex:

adb shell

su

cp /sdcard/hosts /system/etc
[Captivate Android Development] phishie:
Right, I didn't have any problem with adb push hosts /sdcard. My edited hosts file is now in /sdcard.

It's the next part that doesn't work.

adb shell works

su returns "permission denied"

[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
I haven't done any mods besides changing the SUPL settings and switching it to MS-Based with Skyhook enabled, and I did that back in July when I got my phone.

Now a month later, the GPS will launch sparadicly when enabled with google maps or gps status.

Anyone is seen the same issue?

I am on the stock firmware, lag fix was applied and removed, but I am still rooted.
[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
Can you elaborate? So far you haven't described anything abnormal. GPS (I assume you mean the icon in the notification bar) is supposed to show up when an app that uses gps is launched, ie maps or gps stats. It just means that an app is trying to get location data through GPS.

...also some apps or widgets will request location data in the background, so if you have GPS enabled you may notice that icon showing up from time to time. Weather apps/widgets are notorious for doing this.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
When I enable GPS either from the status bar or a widget, and launch google maps or gps status, the gps radar icon does not show up in the status bar.

Whereis google maps relies on the skyhook location, the GPS status app is just a blank black screen.

The issue is sporadic though, I am trying to ID it... Will try to adb into the device and get the logs ASAP.
[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
I see. I would just stop messing with your phone until an official fix comes out and better more stable roms are released. Wait for cm6 or froyo. Revert back to stock.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
I am basically stock with only superuser.apk, hopefully the updates come soon.

[Desire General] ephumuris:
Yeah pretty good used it for a while now. You still need to be in recovery to push files to system but it saves a lot of typing whilst in recovery.
[Desire General] cybermessiah:
You mean that I boot into the recovery menu [Im using AmonRa] before I connect the phone via usb to the computer?

I want to delete some system apps like facebook etc, using this program.:)
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Yeah you boot into your recovery (amon ra or clockwork) so that adb has write access to system. Then it will let you delete any apps.
[Desire General] madman_cro:
im using this for month or two and i can say program rocks
