[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
The fact that you still got the lag pre-lagfix is because of the OC kernel. You can use Odin to flash the stock kernel.

Download the attached file

Unzip it (Once... don't keep unzipping it)

Turn off your phone

Open Odin

Hold vol up/down

Plug phone into USB while holding the vol keys

The phone should connect and show "Download Mode"

In Odin, place the file from the attachment (kernel-captivate-stock.tar.md5.tar) in the "PDA" box.

Click Start, it should flash, and your phone should reboot free of wake-lag

*** Just noticed there's a "No Overclock" version of SRE in designgears OP... you should try that if you aren't comfortable jerking around with Odin
[Captivate Android Development] karma24:
ive been using the no OC version all this time, still no relief.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
It's possible that even though it's the no OC version it might still flash the OC kernel, but just doesn't have the scripts to activate it. Try the steps I posted above to reflash in the stock captivate kernel and see if that gives you any love.
[Captivate Android Development] karma24:
thanks man ill try, i have the lag fix currently running, would i still flash the this stock kernel over it?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yeah if you're using RyanZA or Tayutama's lagfix the kernel shouldn't touch anything they do :)
[Captivate Android Development] karma24:
its not letting me place it anywhere in odin. im using the odin3 one click downloader. the "PDA" box is where it says 'message' above the big white box right?

sorry im kind of a noob
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Nooooooooooo the thing you're looking at is the one click restore version of Odin, not the normal version. Using that will wipe your phone again! Lemme find the link to a good version of Odin for flashing individual components
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Heres a link to "normal" Odin:

http://www.multiupload.com/DLS7TWUVPY

Now, make sure you follow the steps again from the beginning and close that other version of Odin out... once Odin "sees" your device once in download mode it won't work again until after you power it off and go back into download mode again (I know... it's dumb)
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
here's the one I use>>>>>
[Captivate Android Development] karma24:
ok, thanks alot man i appreciate it. ill let you how things go in a bit
[Captivate Android Development] karma24:
ok i just reflashed with the stock kernal. im still getting the wake lag *sigh*

any more ideas? mabe its a hardware issue
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Thats really strange, do you get the wake lag on a completely stock (No SRE, no Lagfix, no anything) flash?
[Captivate Android Development] karma24:
Yes i get wake lag when i flash to stock rom with nothing on it. Thats why im screwin with these lag fixes like crazy but not taking care wake lag
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Oh wow, warranty that sucker ASAP. That isn't good. Probably defective hardware. AT&T should overnight you a new Captivate if you can demonstrate the problem for them
[Captivate Android Development] karma24:
The tricky thing is i purchased it off of ebay, sealed brand new without a contract. Would i have to contact samsung?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Hmm in that case you should contact Samsung, you should have a factory warranty through them that they should be willing to honor.
[Captivate Android Development] cachookaman:
so custom fonts dont work with ext4?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
They do... sometimes. For some reason with the lag fix it's unpredictable O_o
[Captivate Android Development] korext:
gps

i was on stock rooted captivate, with jf6 and i did the 2.3.3 lag fix update.zip EXT 4 and it works everything is great except for one huge problem.... gps has totally stopped working. it will sort of work when over wifi, but over any cellular network its a definite no-go. i fcking love this lag fix its doing great so far but if i cant fix the gps ill have to let it go, i use gps a lot so this is big concern for me.

thanks to anyone who can help

[Captivate Android Development] :
Hi All,

I have a "Base Band I897UCJF6" & I need to install this "Lag Fix.apk" do I need to manually disable the GPS?

I'll appreciate the help as I couldn't understand it from the first post.
[Captivate Android Development] Fedburin:
Tested and working with T959UVJI2

I got tired of the lagginess of the new firmware and the small benefit that it brought with it. I tried to Nandroid back and of course got stuck at the Vibrant screen. I could have Odin'ed back to stock but I decided to the give the lag fix here a try http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765822. I followed the directions verbatim and everything is working great.

Quadrant 1732

Noticeable real speed improvement

GPS still locking in great; +8 satellites
[Captivate Android Development] warri:
I used the sre sl4a ext 4 version and was just wondering if flashing a new firmware will remove the fix..if blurry not how do youremove the lagfix (for when I decide to flash a new rom)
[Captivate Android Development] Fedburin:
I wouldn't worry about removing the lagfix...

If you are flashing a new firmware it will probably require you to wipe your phone anyway making the lagfix a moot point. Use Titanium Backup to restore your apps and settings. Then you can re-apply the lagfix. Also it depends on what type of lagfix you have applied. If you have EXT partition setup you can leave it - it will take up needless space - or wipe and reformat using Clockwork Mod. I would be very surprised if you could flash new firmware while leaving the lagfix in place.
[Captivate Android Development] gerbick:
Has anybody had any luck with going EXT4, removing the lagfix, then going to EXT2?
[Captivate Android Development] mcx6:
Uninstall Problems

I've been using the 2.3.3 version of Tayutama one click lagfix. I have tried to remove this fix using the supplied script but it doesn't seem to work. Phone reboots twice, the first reboot happens very quickly then there is a small pause for a couple of minutes. During the second reboot it sits there for 20-30 minutes+ 3-5 mins approx with the Galaxy S logo, then the screen is completely blank and the menu/back buttons are lit. The phone appears to be doing nothing. Eventually I gave up and pulled the battery and had to restored with a nandroid backup because it would not boot. I have tried this twice now, both times with the same result.

I am on stock JF6 with this lagfix and rooted are the only modifications. I did delete the original lagfix update zip from the internal sd after it installed, not sure if it is needed to remove this fix.

I was wanting to move to the Voodoo beta 4 version lagfix and all that I have read is that I should disable all lagfix before applying the Voodoo fix.

Any help with uninstalling this lagfix would be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] masterofthebass:
I had the same problem. I ended up manually removing it in a bunch of hacky little things. I would try to write a fix, but I really don't know how the phone's scripting language is set up.
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
You got root explorer? I need you to go into /system/app and press on sl4a_r0.apk and choose Install and overwrite old version and then try to run the scripts again
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Okay, let me use the update_v2.3.1 from a completely fresh install- my testbed is filthy from all the ridiculous crap I've been doing
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
think i found the solution... i manually copied the library file into /system/lib that i took from the apk and did a sync... after that it would run the script...
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Ooo if that works let me know... I was just about to go through the tedium of manually enabling sideloading so that I could use the install option in root explorer... but if I don't have to do that awesome
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
Just made a new update.zip with the lib in /system/lib so... and just reflashed phone so will be a moment before i can try it
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Sounds good, let me know how it goes!
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
Not that good... but was with sl4a_r1... trying with r0 now
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
doh!

10 char
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
You might as well be ready to use an update.zip :)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Wiping again! PM it to me if you only want it to break my phone before it goes to the masses :D
[Captivate Android Development] Circazero:
used root explorer and reinstalled SL4A.apk from /system/app

it no longer crashes. ran the LagFix_Ext2.sh

when my phone rebooted, it did it twice.

seem to have worked! :)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Awesome :D Guess the manual install does install the necessary libs- 2.3.2 shouldn't require the extra steps though :)
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
yeah that is why i wanted you to try it out Zilch :) since that was how i got it to work before i started to look into logcat...

it doesn't install the libs when we use the update.zip so seems like i need to place those manually... anyway just got phone back after a reflash so lets try with r0
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Good luck, my phone is back to fresh unrooted, unsideloaded stock and is ready to roll whenever you're ready
[Captivate Android Development] Circazero:
awesome! cant wait. i kinda messed around with system files to enable sideloading. i basically copied com.android.providers.settings, copied settings.db from my old JF6 backup i had and replaced with with the fresh file that came in JH3. Im not sure if it conflicts with other things but I noticed it put a lock pattern from my old settings.db when I didnt have one set in my fresh JH3.

anyways im going to reflash JH3 again and start from scratch once 2.3.2 is out :)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
It shouldn't really hurt anything really, just the stuff you altered around in the settings section of your phone- but my paranoia would dictate that I reflash it anyway :D
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
this is soooo not going like i want it to...
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Still no-go eh?

Why did the libs install before but suddenly when you pushed it live they stopped working? O_o Nothing today makes any sense at all!
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
Like i know that...
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
If only! This just makes no sense at all =/
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
Right tried a logcat again and now it isn't because of the library...

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
That's even more confusing =/ To me at least
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
Right... got it to work after i applied my apn settings and rebooted... WTH IS GOING ON HERE
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Wait you had to apply your APN settings? What... why? That's... not even remotely related O_o. What does your APN settings have to do with a scripting app?

*head explodes*
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
no idea... ran script got FC... applied APN settings and reboot... ran script and it ran just fine...
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Well you've got that little apns-conf.xml thing chillin out in the /system/etc folder... but older versions had that too so I have no idea. Also I haven't a clue what purpose that xml file serves anyway
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
the older versions didn't have apn-conf.xml in them ;)

atleast 2.2.2 and that... didn't add it before 2.3.0

It got loads of apn settings in it... btw just to confirm what i wrote before... took phone into plane mode... rebooted and sl4a crashed on me... took phone out of plane mode and could run scripts again...

found this in the logcat:

E/sl4a.JsonRpcServer:228( 2761): Failed to start server

E/sl4a.JsonRpcServer:228( 2761): java.net.UnknownHostException: localhost

E/sl4a.JsonRpcServer:228( 2761): Caused by: java.net.UnknownHostException: No adress associated with hostname
[Captivate Android Development] _Opiate_:
Sounds like you guys are having a tough time.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Haha I'm not going THAT far back, 2.2.2 was like the stone-age! I was looking at the 2.3.0 test version from 2:30PM yesterday. But why does java suddenly care if it can find your APN settings or not? It needs localhost... but localhost is localhost and should persist even in flight mode since it's the device's own loopback address. Unless it can't resolve localhost... but WHY. :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
did you check the included hosts file in /system/etc? :D that one is the problem since i got it fixed now after i removed that file... can now apply lagfix right after a flash from odin since the modified hosts file isn't included
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Lol you're kidding

Why was there an included host file anyway? Better question... why did the included host file work back in 2.3.0? O_o

Forget I asked... if this works I'm done asking questions- the world doesn't make sense anymore

Edit: Test version you sent me works =P It's creating an EXT4 file now
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
gimme gimme!!
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
the hosts file was included because of blocking ads :)

but there is this nice little line in the top:

127.0.0.1 localhost (normal nothing weird here)

::1 localhost (might be a problem) :D
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
right so the problem WAS the included hosts file...

designgears...

just reflashing to test a version with apn-conf.xml added but not hosts since i atleast want my apn settings without adding them manually
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
HAHAHAHA no way. NO freaking way.

How did THAT happen :D :D :D :D
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
and you wonder why it couldn't resolve localhost...
[Captivate Android Development] tbae2:
Hey zilch have you tried JM1 yet? it works pretty good! Also , woudln't happen to have the stock pit file would you?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
EXT4: Success - also did you shrink the EXT file again?

/dev/loop0 689.5M 40.3M 649.2M 6% /data/mount
/dev/loop0 689.5M 40.3M 649.2M 6% /data/data
/dev/loop0 689.5M 40.3M 649.2M 6% /data/system
/dev/loop0 689.5M 40.3M 649.2M 6% /data/dalvik-cache

Not that I'm complaining...

... I'm still curious how the first 3 octets vanished :D
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Nope, can't say that I have, though I, too have heard good things. I just get sandy if I don't have my haptic feedback.

As for the .pit unfortunately no, the ones on samsung-firmwares are the only ones I've got =/ sadly they're all international- I've got to flash the stock firmware without a PIT to get my stock button settings back >=(
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
nope i didn't shrink the ext... the scripts says 850mb :D
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Hmm wonder why my EXT4 file is only 689MB then. Oh well if it works it works, I'll blame it on localhost :D
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
/dev/loop0 809.5M 38.9M 770.6M 5% /data/mount
/dev/loop0 809.5M 38.9M 770.6M 5% /data/data
/dev/loop0 809.5M 38.9M 770.6M 5% /data/system
/dev/loop0 809.5M 38.9M 770.6M 5% /data/dalvik-cache
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Why is my phone always the special one? First fonts now this!
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
I blame AT&T :)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Always a safe bet :D

I'm certainly not going to complain about having 1.04GB free though ;)

Already update the thread title to indicate that we're back on the tracks again

I'm uninstalling the fix out of a sense of obligation to make sure all of that is working... I hope I don't lose my precious 200MB!

Edit: EXT4 uninstall performed without a hitch :D
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
i have around 1.1GB too :) .. great easy fix

what is the total space allocated for apps O_o?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
That 1.1GB you see is your app space :)

One of the nice parts about this version of the fix is that you have an accurate representation of how much space you actually have left
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
Almost right...

the 1.1GB you see left is space you got for applications .apk's and some other small stuff...

all application's data is inside the 800-850mb file we made with the lag fix

So when you install an application it take some space both out side and inside the the file...

There is a script included to check available space inside the file so you can easily see how much space you got in there also
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
I didn't want to over-complicate it :D

But yes, refer to Tayutama's post for the nitty gritty ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
I know you guys have been working your butts off on this version :-) but what is better about this vs the older 2.2? Same scores but more snappy interface or what? More efficient? please give me good news, I was giving my python a bath and he took a HUGE poop on my bathroom rug lol. I NEED good news. Lie to me if you have to ;-D
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
This version moves all data will the phone is booting so nothing is running since i'm using a killscript... this means that it's more safe then the old version regarding chance on losing settings and applications
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Mostly it's a bunch of bug fixes and background improvements. One thing noteable is that app data and actual applications are stored separately. The system area and app data is stored in the EXT file while the larger part of the app lives outside the file- you get a bit more of an accurate representation of how much space you have left without having to use a script to tell you. (There's still a script for checking size inside the EXT file because app data will grow over-time as well)

The biggest improvement though is that the footwork is actually done while the phone boots so the likelihood of your apps being destroyed or going missing during install is pretty much nil. Oh- and the EXT file sits at around 800MB so ROM manager is slightly less excruciating to use :D
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Ok, I'm gonna give this a shot :-) I'll try to uninstall my 2.2 lag fix...I honestly don't think I've had it revert to normal successfully lol. Tayutama can you toss up a donation link so I can buy you a beer? I'd give Zilch a beer BUT I'm still waiting on his custom rom with integrated hookers. ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Haha well before I'd put up a donation link I'd have to actual create something ;) I just provide a test bed so that these kind fellows can port their fine works over to our less acknowledged handsets. That said: Blackjack/Hooker ROM may come out someday... I just haven't figured out how to get a hooker to fit into a MicroUSB port- but I'm working on it!

Good luck with the revert... most of the times I've tried it hosed me up too. I've uninstalled several test versions of 2.3.x and I haven't toasted my phone yet :D

Tayutama should def. put up a donate link, he's been busting his ass on this fix!
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
Hey... don't say we didn't test the remove fix with 2.3.x while testing the last week or so...
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Hahaha that's an understatement- What would you wager the magic number for failure to be? 20? 30? I installed and reverted probably 7-8 times before a reflash, but that was mostly due to paranoia
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
hmm i think i had my problem between 20-30 apply/remove fixes before the phone woulldn't boot...
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Sure beats the old system eh? It was miraculous when one remove worked!
[Captivate Android Development] mostyle:
Because you are special? :)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:

[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
Moving data on boot does wonders :D
[Captivate Android Development] masterofthebass:
So no update for JF6? I went through and applied the fix before realizing it wasn't working, and everything seemed to go fine, except I don't think the fix took. The ext4 file is created and mounted, but my quadrant scores are back to the 800ish range.
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Zilch has taken flashing new roms/lagfix's to a new level in his life.

This is what we call dedication my friends.
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
Link should be added in my signature

Hmm should work on JF6 also even if it isn't listed as tested...

Tested just means what firmwares me and Zilch have tested this on before releasing it

Try and remove the fix again and then use the new version 2.3.2 to run it again.
[Captivate Android Development] thindery:
can anyone explain how the new lagfix is better/different than the old ext4 lagfix?
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
The only major difference between this new version and the old is that we move all data on boot which means there is a much lower chance for not losing any applications or settings compared to the old version
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Didn't donate a ton but I'm sure it's more than 99% of the people using your fix donate ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
What can I say? I'm a professional :D
[Captivate Android Development] skinien:
If there is a much LOWER chance for NOT losing applications or settings, doesn't that mean there's a greater chance to lose apps or settings :p Damn double-negatives.

Just playing, man.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Take Tayutama's advice, if it still doesn't work I'll flash back to JF6 once I'm done getting a little bit of exercise in and try to troubleshoot it :)
[Captivate Android Development] Tayutama:
I never excepted donations for this since i like doing stuff like this so :)

Hf then since i'm about to hit the bed... :D

Btw just so you know i won't be only alot of the time on saturday... going out with the family :D
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Well have fun! You certainly deserve some time off after all this :D I'm sure any huge bugs will be discovered by tomorrow, and I should be able to field the support stuff until you return!
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Just posted in the other thread >>>

ext4 script froze at reboot.

manual reboot and all apps are FC and phone is bricked.

JH2 with root
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
How long did you wait for it at the black screen on reboot? It takes a while to do the operations on first reboot and if you interrupt it- brick city
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
I let it reboot at black screen

The reboot locked at the "reboot" of the script before it physically rebooted.

That sat there for quite a few minutes before I manually powered it off. It ran through the black screen and restart from there.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Hmm so it actually got through the SL4A script and failed out at "Rebooting Now"? Or did it get past that and do a reboot and fail after that?
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
locked there. I know it pretty much rebooted at that point in the script this pm. I'll give it another shot and not touch anything this time.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yeah I normally just set it and forget it... but this is the first report of SL4A actually freezing, and I've been abusing the crap out of it on JH3

Keep us updated on what happens though when you try it again tonight
[Captivate Android Development] masterofthebass:
after having to nandroid a backup when trying to remove 2.3.1, I installed 2.3.2 on JF6 without a single problem. Quadrant score of ~1800. woo hoo!
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Glad to hear it :D (This also means I don't have to reflash to JF6 ;) )
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
Yep >>> We applied and it ran completely through without interuption. Same result. Phone is basically bricked
