Is there an easy way to disable apps2sd on JPH froyo build? I really want the lagfix but it keeps failing because of apps2sd being active..

//fail: just had to look a bit harder. For everyone with the same issue, go to manage applications in settings menu then there is a tab on top 'on sd'. Delete those apps and you are done :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
If you use the V2+ version, it should actually just plow it's way through the APPS2SD problem without you having to move them back. At least it worked for me, which I guess isn't saying much - stuff which works on one phone never seems to work quite the same way on another. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pnin:
Success!

After several fails (I realize now they were due to the fact that I had one or two apps on the external sd card), I finally succeed to get the v2 lagfix working on my Euro i9000. Quadrant score elevated from around 900-1000 to 1711 on the latest run. Best of all, phone feels responsive and snappy. Thanks a lot to all the gurus, especially to Ryanza. :cool:

i have factory reset w/o uninstall the lagfix, so now lagfix is nolonger avail to me. how do i overcome that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] wynthewun:
Hi there RyanZA,

After scrolling through 23 pages of this thread, I'm unable to find the answer to my problem and was hoping you could help. This might help you fine tune your app and make it even more awesome.

My situation is as follows:

I have a Galaxy S i9000 (Hong Kong bought) running Eclair with a JH1 rom (stock).

Used your lagfix app to root and applied the lagfix v2. No problems during the procedure, everything went as smoothly as possible.

2 days after root and lagfix, I turned off my phone for a conference. When I switched it back on, I noticed that my home page had reverted to my stock homepage and any changes I had made on my homescreens (widgets, app shortcuts) had reverted to Pre-Lagfix/root. Also any apps that I installed following the lagfix were gone!

I also noticed a significant amount of lag so I ran my quadrant scores again and I was back to a quadrant score of around 800 :*(

Entered back into your OneClickLagFix V2 app and I have the following to report:

*phone is still rooted

*when clicking on undo OneClickLagFix V2+ I get the message "you do not appear to have a lagfix installed. /system/bin/playlogos1 greater than 5kb)

*when I click on (install) OneClickLagFix V2+ I get the message "you donot have enough free space in /data to use this fix. Please free up space before using this fix"

So I uninstalled whole heap of apps but found that it still kept on giving me the same message.

I will love to continue using your lagfix as it solved so many problems for me but I'm at a loss to what to do (I'm a super nube with android phones). Also I understand if I don't get this problem fixed up I may have problems installing both custom and stock rom upgrades in future.

RyanZA, can you be so kind as to shed some light on my situation? Please talk to me like I don't even know how to use a computer, otherwise I probably won't understand you :(

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help out.

Unheard of Problem

Hey RyanZa, or anyone else who knows how to fic this, I have scoured the forums for a problem like mine but have found no solutions as of yet.

I am running stock ROM on captivate that is rooted and has bloatware removed. I have tried several times to install your fixes in the past, however I have constantly had the same problem. I get my phone all the way to restarting, it does and then nothing changes. I have the EXT2 file installed (according to the program) and the space is gone (according to the program) but my quadrant is still in the 800's I have tried every option about 15 times with no luck over the last month or so.

Is there any solution you know of to this problem? If not, is there any way I can remove all traces of lag fixes (tried unistalling, clearing cache etc.) so that I can start all over again?

Thank you very much for all your time and effort...I am so excited to see my phone work the way it should have right out of the box!!!

-Ian

I just used this app to root my SGS

I can ls the device thru adb shell

but when I execute 'su' command it returned permission denied as I want to delete some of the internal apps like the ebook app, layar, etc
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] adrianmak:
a question on "Alter minfree" provided in this app.

what is the mean of "set on boot" option ?

Without checked the "alter minfree" applied settings will lost after the device reboot ? In other words, this setting is not permanent ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mengsuan:
RyanZa, I've reverted back to lagfix v1. For a whole night, no undesired restarts. :)

Apparently I'm going to be stuck with lagfix v1 forever.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Use the 'restore bootlogos' option in the app.

Ouch. Okay the reason you haven't found anything is because you're the first one to report this. I'll look into it and hopefully be able to work out why. If you check back in a few hours (this evening, my time) I'll have an app version out with an updated 'cleanup' command that will fix your low space message. Sorry about that. :)

Have you tried rebooting your device a second time btw? It may actually restore everything. If you have a backup, you can also do a format and then restore it in the meantime.

That's right.

Alright, cool. Did you lose any data in the undesired restarts btw? Seems a bit strange, but it may be something device specific somehow.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mengsuan:
No data was lost, only apps are unexpectedly closed.

Now I'm wondering if I should wipe the device clean and do lagfix v2. Do you mind telling me how to reset the entire phone including the 2GB partition?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ukdtweak:
Installed the V2 lagfix lastnight, painless as usual, will see how it performs over the next few days. First Quadrant run got 2213.

Great work as usual RyanZa :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SLX69:
I use the 2.04 version and it didn't work, I had to manually remove the apps from the SD to get i to work. I guess you're right about your phone :-)

Recommended QUOTE

Excellent application ... installed and got 2103 in the test!!

Good job RyanZA :)

Quick question:

What is the recommended quote for OCLF2+ during the installation?

I have used the prompted value during the installation, 860Mb.

Is it correct? Some impact on the performance?

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Bye,

Stefano
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ukdtweak:
If by some miracle, Froyo is released today, I wont be upgrading for a few days, until I have seen good reports from early adopters...

Tell me if I have lagfix will I see the OTA updates?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] wi11:
after i run the program nothing happens. phone reboots as if nothing happened.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Saiga:
RyanZA i've got a probmlem similar to the one wynthewun mentioned

i had JF3 installed and rooted

downloaded your OCLF app

copied the EXT2 tools

applied the lagfix v2

but it failed because of some copy error with the bootlogos (i think it said the logo could not be renamed because it was readonly)

and now i can't apply the lagfix again(lack of memory) or remove it(beacuse playlogos1 is >5kb)

restoring the bootlogo worked but didn't fix the problem neither does a reboot
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mundano:
RyanZA, is there any chance that you can look to the WiFi Timeout tool bug that affects the users with JM8 ROM?

It would be great...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] viper75:
Signature verification failed

Hi Ryan,

I got a message saying the signature verification failed when trying to root the phone using the OCLF for i9000 JP2 firmware. Any idea how to solve this?

Regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] wynthewun:
Thanks RyanZA I will eagerly await your reply :)

This tampering with the system on Android is scary for me :(

Edit: o yeah btw I'm actually rebooted the device about 10 times after this happened just hoping something will magically happen and everything will be fixed. I think magic only happens in fairy tales doh
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lchsu:
Hi Ryan,

Eagerly awaiting the solution to wynthewun's problem as I have pretty much the exact same problem - same messages etc.

I'm on JF4, pretty much stock except for rooting. Had your ver 1 app and it worked great, upgraded to 2.0 and was fine as well. Yesterday I "accidentally" reset to factory default and thus I had to do a recovery via Clockwork. Had to re-install a number of apps and updates (including OCLF). Also changed my ext SD from a 2G to a 16G today, deleting some folders that I believed were from my old Nokia (the 2G SD was from it).

It was after that that I noted the phone lagging slightly and confirmed with Quadrant scores in the 800s :(

Not sure if I messed something up by doing the recoveries, deleting stuff from my ext SD, and changing the SD card.....

Hope you have some good news as I loved the OCLF and really miss it! I guess it's payback for my laughing at my friend who couldn't implement OCLF because he has one of those "disabled" galaxies....:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] amir_rafie:
Many many thanks RyanZa .... works fine with I9000JHJP4 .....

My Benchmark is 1806 !!! but why ?! with eclair was 2100 ....
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] typ44q:
I had previously installed RyanZAEXT2LagFix ALPHA 1 I have been using that for a while and decided to uninstall it using the Unlagfixme.bat file.

I installed the new OCLF from the market and when I try to run it it tells me that I do not have enough free space in /data to use the fix. When I check for free space it tells me I have 193MB out of 1917MB available. Is this because I have too much stuff installed on my phone or is it an issue left over from the previous lagfix?

I un-installed a few things and deleted rom manager saved backup (did not free up space) then I deleted the files from the titanium backup folder and my free space went up to 1196MB out of 1917MB but when I try to run the lagfix it tells me:

"You already appear to have another lag fix installed! (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5KB)

I am lost at this point, would formatting the phone and restoring a backup be the best thing to do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mengsuan:
I think I found the conflicting app that cause restart when changing to V2 or removing the lag fix. Everything becomes fine after uninstalling Vlingo Voice. Now I'm running V2, quadrant score is at least 2290 to 2330. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Allen Dodd:
Hello Ryan,

First I should explain I'm probably old enough to be most folks grandfather on here so you'll appreciate you're dealing with a genuine dinosaur.

I have a standard but rooted 2.1 SGS with just a few added apps.

I downloaded OCLF donate and EXT2 Tools went in with no trouble but when I try to install OCLF the screen goes black for 2/3 seconds and then the Homescreen option appears. Once I've set the Homescreen I find the unit has automatically been kicked into Flight Mode.

I have tried both Vers 1 and 2 with the same result each of 10/12 times I have tried.

Before you answer, please remember my opening sentence and perhaps explain it to me how you might do to George Bush. Or a four year old maybe. Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] redbullextra:
I did a factory reset without uninstall your lagfix 2.0.5 first.

Now after tyring to install your llagfix again. it cannot be done as it says " there is already lagfix folder in system something."

1. What do i need to do so that i can install lagfix again?

2. Will flashing the rom again help?

Thanks for answering my question before hand.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Your problem is a bit different from his. You made your /system folder read-only for some reason, but a reboot should set it back to read-write.

As far as the lack of memory, the option to fix that will be out soon! :)

There is no JM8 wifi timeout tool bug, as my phone is running JM8 right now without the bug. There is a bug with the wifi timeout tool for certain firmwares/changes though - any idea how you managed to get it? Anyway, could you post the log you are getting with the wifi timeout option, and possible could you also post the results of the following?

adb shell
su
ls -l /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db

Thanks. :)

OCLF can't root froyo yet. Check one of the froyo rooting threads for help.

I've mostly worked out what happened to you (I think). If the EXT2 filecheck on boot takes a very very long time, it is possible for the phone to finish booting before it completes. This didn't happen in V1, because I had a file in place to block the bootup if it took too long (the system wouldn't be able to read the /data/system directory, and would fail to load and exit. It would then be restarted up again and try again, until the check finished and it managed to boot.) In V2 because of the change, it actually is possible for the system to boot up and just use the pre-lagfix data folders, causing your rollback. Complicated stuff! :D

I'll replace the V2+ lagfix option with a V2.1+ lagfix option that will create the dummy files to ensure that the system can't boot up before the filesystem check is finished. :)

The 'cleanup' option in the app would also have fixed your not enough space issue at this point, but it only supports the V1 lagfix at present. It will shortly support the V2 one as well! :)

It's a bit weird that you're the first (and so far only?) one to have this issue, considering the fix has been available for over a week now with thousands of users! Maybe it is very rare for the EXT2 check to take that long, or something.

Basically, I need a better QA department! They should all be sacked! What's that, my QA department doesn't even exist?! ;)

Sounds like you just need to use the 'restore bootlogo' option, and then reboot. It should work then! :)

Froyo benchmarks with the lagfix are lower than Eclair. The exact reason is a bit hard to determine, and I haven't had the time to look very deeply into what the real causes are.

Install the app, and use the restore bootlogos option, as well as the cleanup option. :)

Haha, Vlingo did that? Nasty!

Hey, I'm a little confused about what the 'Homescreen option' is. If EXT2 Tools installed fine, then I think the lagfix should install fine too. Maybe give the option another try and see if you get lucky? :)

You need to use the 'restore bootlogos' option, and then reboot, and your problem should be solved. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Saiga:
1st thx for your quick reply

do you have an idea how this could have happend(the read-only thing)?

i'm sure i never modified the systems folder before, could it be that it was read-only by default?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mundano:
It was refered by me and more 2 or 3 users some pages ago, all os us using JM8.. So, I assumed the bug was JM8 related.

The log:

Tue Sep 21 23:12:21 Europe/London 2010: Making a copy of settings.db...
Tue Sep 21 23:12:21 Europe/London 2010: Wifi Timeout failed with error: Could not run 'cp /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db /sdcard/settings.db' : /data/oclf/busybox: not found

Result of the command:

# ls -l /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db
ls -l /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db
-rw-rw---- system system 56320 2010-09-23 17:03 settings.db

By the way, I have JM8 stock, without any lagfix or custom kernel, rooted via OCLF.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Oh. Ahahah. Sorry, okay, my bad!

The Wifi timeout is not marked as requiring the EXT2 Tools. But it does actually require them! This is now fixed in the version coming out soon. To get around this problem in the meantime, just run the EXT2 Tools option first (confusing...? yeah! :) )
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] borncute:
ryanza,

just wan to say thanks for the fix. had galaxy s since its launch in June but always got the lag issues. Almost want to revert back to iphone 4 due to the lag. With the fix, now the phone is so much better :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mobilx:
Undone the lagfix v1+ and applied the V2 without any problem. Its faster for about 100 in quadrant.

Yes, you did it again ;-).

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
APK 2.1.0 is now available in the first post!

It is probably recommended to undo the V2 and then install the V2.1, although V2.1 hasn't been heavily tested yet. It is a fairly small change, that now prevents the device from booting if the EXT2 check does not complete in time. Before, it would boot into your pre-lagfix data. You could always just reboot after this and end up in your lagfix data, but the V2.1 takes care of you having to worry about it, just like V1 did! :)

2.1.0 Changelog

+ Lagfix V2+ has been updated to V2.1+ which features enhanced data security

In order to install it, you must first undo V2 using the option, and then install V2.1+ as usual

- Fixed WifiTimeout to now correctly require EXT2 Tools

- Fixed Cleanup option to now correctly clean up the V2 lagfix as well as V1
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] typ44q:
Thanks Ryan!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ranwej:
I installed v2.1.0 on my new galaxy S and it's like have a totally new phone. Quadrant is 2200 and phone is really fast and responsive. Many thanks for this! Are there any known bugs, which can i expect?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mobilx:
We are lucky that this do/undo thing is working great so we can play with it :D Now with 2.1.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
App installations are a little laggy still, due to the nature of this lag fix. Normal phone usage is perfect though. Other than that, zero known bugs. :)

Haha, if the do/undo thing didn't work great, that would be a huge problem for me! :D

But yeah, I test do/undo about 5-10 times before releasing. It usually catches all the problems. :) (Well, there weren't any problems in this case)

EDIT: Critical known issue has just been found! I forgot to include the changelog in the app. Noo.. :( Next version will have it. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] stan28:
Guys, tell me if this is a myth or truth ? Lag fix causes internal sd card to malfunction ?

Sent from my GT-I9000M
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Total Myth (in the case of OCLF fixes, at least). This lag fix works by mainly by buffering the reads to the disk. This means that the disk is actually being written to less than with stock, which in turn means your internal SD will last longer than without it! :D The internal SD itself appears to be very high quality though, and is unlikely to fail even after years. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Saiga:
RyanZa i just installed your new version but i still can't undo/redo the v2 lagfix or the v1 lagfix and i also can't use the Repair/Clean option.

do i have to do a factory reset(if this can even solve the problem)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] fane1:
Yeah typical samsung "thing" Great hardware quality very poor software developement department.Thanks Ryan for this update very good to have such a tool,easy to install/undo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
You have the read-only problem, right? Are you sure a reboot doesn't fix it?

I'll fix this up in the next version, and have it auto remount as read-write. I'm guessing you're using the new froyo build?

Anyway,

adb shell
su
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

Then your /system should be mounted as read-write. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Saiga:
nope reboot does't fix it most of the files/folders in root are readonly when i browse them in ASTRO

and no i use JF3
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Allen Dodd:
Hi again Ryan,

Reference my post earlier today. The Homescreren Selector is the mobile equivalent of Desktop.

There is no alternative (that I know) but to select the Homescreen or re-boot. I have tried another 10 times at least but get the same result.

Either way, the phone has already been put into Flight Mode. I tried to post some pics to explain but as a newbie I have not been vetted so am unable to.

Oh well, I'll put it down to a 2-dollar investment in my phone tinkering education and leave it as is. Thanks once more.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
I still don't quite understand. The screenshot you have posted shows the lagfix install as green. Just select that option with your finger. I think. Sorry, I'm confused now too! :)

I think the market lets you return an app within 24 hours or something? Feel free to do that! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Saiga:
RyanZa i tried the comands you posted(am i supposed to get a message if this was successful, because i didn't) but that doesn't seem to solve my problem while browsing with ASTRO the system folder/files are still readonly and i can't repair/undo the lagfixes(see screenshot)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Well just set /system to read-write using ASTRO then?! :D

I have no idea beyond that, sorry! Maybe you've messed up your firmware a bit. Try a backup and flash a new firmware on? I don't think I can help you out beyond that though... Try remove the linux.ex2 or whatever that is blocking the installation manually using ASTRO as well perhaps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Saiga:
well i would like to change the permissions but i really don't know how :(

would a factory reset solve this problem?

/edit: nvm figured out how to do this with adb and i could redo the lagfix after removing linux.ex2
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sremick:
Sorry for the dumb newbie question but...

This can be used to just root, correct? I don't want to apply a "lag-fix".

Also... it can unroot 100% cleanly, right?

Stock USA Captivate.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Saiga:
yes you can just use it to root your phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
Alright, 2.1.1 is up in the first post. It mounts /system as rw, and it has a changelog in app.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mxpx333:
Delete everything start over

Hey RyanZa,

I have installed your fix on another phone and it is great! However it won't work on my phone, it gets through the lagfix dialogue but never makes it to the end before restarting with the space fine and no apparent difference. Do you have any suggestions?

If not, is there anyway to delete the x bin folder and start from scratch?

thank you for your time

I know a few people have had this problem, but I can't find a solution.

I just flashed JPK from XXJM1 previously (with OCLF installed on it), and have rooted it but when I go to install the EXT2 Tools it reports:
