Sorry for the noobie question in advance :)

Do you have to uninstall the 2.1 Camera app before installing this one?

The reason i ask is is this app would crash when i tried to take a picture

Rooted 2.1
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] m4nu4l:
Use this app for filming, not for picture taking, defoult app makes pictures very well.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Atheosun:
many thanks m4nu4l :)

So total noob question. What exactly is the lag thats being fixed? Is there a specific lag or is it more of a general slowness of the phone?

Thanks!!
[Captivate General] smokestack76:
Some apps open slow. Some people notice lag in booting the phone. Mainly overall feel i guess. Like you said.
[Captivate General] dayv:
The lag that is being referred to is a lag caused by samsung's property rfs file system that samsung put on this phone. As far as I can tell there is a flaw in data write where the rfs file system can pause for as much as second - and when you get multiple process waiting in line to write data it causes a very noticeable lag in the phone as it will come to almost a standstill.
[Captivate General] tbong777:
If you don't nice anything don;t worry about it....LOL

I see more issues caused by lag fixing than those who don't bother with them...especially when loading new ROMS A slight hesitation now and then doesn't bother me.....Perfection is not the goal.
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
I've found I don't need a lagfix for Cog's 2.2 beta 5.6.

I get a hiccup every once in a while but otherwise everything seems to run fine. And it's still a billion times faster than my old iPhone so I'm happy either way. (I had to wait to do EVERYTHING on that POS)

[Captivate General] Mac11700:
Exactly how do this happen ? Can this be replicated on this phone so everyone can see it ? I have seen and experienced wake up lag on Androids that have non stock roms..and also the damnable phone dialer lag as well with my Hero..but have yet had this problem with my Captivate....So.. what does one have to do to see it on the Captivate? Your saying the file system that is causing this correct...I don't believe it is the same thing other Android phones are experiencing and what has been called LAG to honest with you..if it were then everyone that had this phone would be complaining about it. Sometimes I had to swipe 4 or 5 times to unlock my Hero..or having tried to dial a number only to have 5 or 6 extra numbers punched in because of the LAG..

I think what you seeing and what is being described here as LAG isn't really the LAG of most Android based phones are having..What I think is being described is just a slight hesitation of certain applications being opened and closed..This is normal for any computer depending on what and how large the program is.The file system used with these may indeed cause this but it is nothing as compared to a phone that really Lags. Boot lag is something entirely different..and as far as I can tell can be caused by what is loaded on the phone and not really the phone itself, unless the phone isn't really wiping any residual data before applying a new rom and thus causing conflicts on booting.

If this wasn't the case..then every Galaxy phone would do this..complete stock or one that has been customized. I may be totally wrong..but I don't think I am..

[Captivate General] sremick:
The problem isn't on other Android phones because other Android phones don't use RFS. RFS is a Samsung thing.

And just about every person does complain about the lag... how severe it is depends on how heavy of a user you are so a few uber-light users might not notice it so much.

Me? I notice things like occasionally 10-30 seconds after returning to my home screen for my icons to appear, hesitation in keyboard entry causing massive typos and repeated keypresses, unresponsiveness of home keys only to have it suddenly register all queued presses, etc.

I acknowledge the problem but unfortunately a lot of the "lag fix" hacks cause more harm than good.
[Captivate General] dayv:
I did not say that I ever saw this lag myself - I was just answering the question as to what was being fixed in the lag fixes - and the rfs file system hang that happens at the sync on close at the end of a write is what these guys are attempting to address with these lag fixes.

I am not even using a lagfix as the current custom rom I am running is running just fine without one.

Here this thread gives more in depth description and explanation of the rfs lag

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=799931
[Captivate General] Dani897:
i feel the lag is caused by touchwiz and exaggerated by the file system. i never noticed a complete lack of lag with a lagfix. things got slightly less choppy but i think there is a big placebo effect around here. in eclair my phone was still laggy with any and all lagfix's that i tried including voodoo.

the leaked froyo doesn't lag too much but doesn't update the wallpaper on wakeup if you are running live walpapers so you get a black background ocasionally. applying the z4mod lagfix to froyo makes a difference in bootup and wakeup but is not totally necessary. actually there is a big potential for problems and forgetting to remove a lagfix before flashing will turn into a headache really fast.
[Captivate General] TheYar:
The video in the below thread gives a clear enough demonstration of the effect. A lag in opening emails, or marking email unread, that is at least around 2 seconds every time and 5 seconds at one point. After a lagfix is installed, it consistently takes well under one second to perform the same operations.

As I understand it, lagfixes either re-partition the file system entirely with a new file system, or create a large cache so that data can be accessed quickly without as much interaction with the filesystem.

[Captivate General] Mac11700:
While the video does indeed show lag in opening everything

with that custom rom.

.where is the video showing the same issue with that phone prior to any modifications using the stock rom..? I'm not talking about one that has been rooted and re flashed..I am talking about one straight out of the box... If it took that long just to boot up with cog..then there really is something wrong. From a dead stop with the battery out to being fully up and running..takes less than 45 seconds with mine running staright from the box stock. Either I don't understand everything( big possibility) or something is either wrong with that phone with that rom installed on it.

I'm not trying to say this isn't Lag on the video..it clearly shows it..but I do question why a fair comparison isn't being shown..As much as I hate to say it..it looks like the biggest amount of issues I have seen here is from folks who have rooted and flashed new roms. BTW..my email opens as fast as the fixed one does as well. I am sure someone does have these issues (perhaps not to this degree) on a unaltered phone..but I also think it is exactly what I said earlier too..that some of it is normal..but some want everything instantaneously...and I don't believe that will happen for sometime.

I do understand what folks do here and why..I'm not totally dumb when it comes to rooting and flashing...but to me and the way I am seeing it..something somewhere isn't being taken into account here with how this rom is acting. I know a lot went into developing it..but..in all honesty to my eyes it looks like it isn't fully optimized yet,even with what has been done with it so-far.Of course I have absolutely no way of knowing what that phone did when it was totally stock either...but with out a true side bt side comparison video of the same phone..nor will anyone else. Also..I don't blame folks who want something different..Hell..if folks didn't try to make changes..nothing new would ever get developed,but sometimes trying to fix something that works fine,is cutting off your nose to spite your face too..

To me..instead of trying to replace the file system with something different..why not try to make a rom using it..? The phones are spec'd to use it..so use it..optimize it..and see if most all of these "issues" go away..Maybe easier said than done..I don't know..but that's how I look at it.

[Captivate General] newter55:
The stock email is not the one shown in the video, it is touchdown which many use to sync their corporate email accounts as the stock program is inadequate or not compatible.

If you have not noticed the lag then you don't need a lagfix. Data intensive operations do exploit the flaws in the rfs system however and many experience better performance after installing one.

As for startup time, lagfix really has nothing to do with this. Regardless of setup, the phone will boot only slightly faster with one.

[Captivate General] govgeek:
For what its worth. I remember showing my coworker my lagfixed 2.1 and we compared to his stock, and did a side by side on browser, email and a couple of other apps. It was a big enough impression that he immediately installed oclf.
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
Well..that make me wonder if all of these issues are a QC issue from Samsung..I do know I had to go through 7 different phones(all new not refurbs) for the wife last week we we signed up wit AT&T...

I guess I'll wait till the official non beta release of 2.2 is out before I start changing mine.This will give me a better understanding on how everything is right now..as opposed to flashing a different rom,and see if the phone starts acting up.

Thanks

Mac
[Captivate General] sremick:
While I am rooted now (reluctantly, due to some things that I need to run that require it), my lag predates that as I only rooted recently. Lag of 10 seconds at a time is not uncommon... whether it's a freeze while using the keyboard, trying to pull down the notification bar, trying to switch apps, trying to use the "Home" key, or waiting for the home screen icons to re-appear. I've counted delays as long as 30 seconds at times.

If lagfixes weren't so dirty and unsafe, I'd be their biggest proponent.

Get the ROM your using on your PC/lappy, open using winzip or similar. Look in system/app. Transfer to phone, install using a file manager (i.e Astro).

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] swags:
Does anyone know of a headphone adapter with audio controls and and a mic? I'm think of something similar to the mini-USB to 3.5mm adapter than came with the G1, but obviously with a 3.5mm connector for the phone.

I like the controls on the bundled headphones but the audio quality and noise isolation is terrible. I want to be able to use my Sennheisers but still pause and skip songs. I'm sure I could splice the bundled control module into my headphones but I'd rather not hack up an expensive set.

Alternately, does anyone know of a software solution to map one of the buttons to perform pause/skip functions? Having to unlock the phone to pause and skip or use a fugly lock screen replacement is not ideal.

Hmm. I'd prefer just a simple adapter so I can keep using my Sennheiser CX 300-II's (especially since I just replaced them this summer after leaving my old set on an airplane).

Hey guys,

Question from a noob here. When exactly should you wipe data and cache?

I noticed that when I recently installed the gala x theme from rom manager before the install I was given 2 options. Make a back up and wipe data and cache. I went ahead and of course made a back up but chose not to wipe data and cache.

What is the right thing to do?

Thanks in advance
[Droid X Themes and Apps] nycorduroy:
no one???? Some one must know.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] maizekidstill81:
If you are on a clean rom with no themes and your installing a new theme then no. The only time you need to wipe date and cache is if you are going from one rom to another. The reason for that is because of conflicting info.

So yes you are good if just adding a new theme
[Droid X Themes and Apps] nycorduroy:
Thank you good sir. that makes sense and is what i thought/hoped.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] maizekidstill81:

[Droid X Themes and Apps] zehkaiser:
Just a side note here; I wipe my cache weekly. I noticed my phone getting slow after the 2.2 OTA. Also, I got all kinds of FC's and other problems. I wiped my cache ONLY and it fixed all of my problems. Your system will rebuild the cache again as needed, so the first load may take a little longer, but there is less junk to sort through, so it's quicker to load on the next request. Oh, and as long as you do NOT wipe the data you won't lose anything.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] maxxram:
Would it be advisable to wipe data and cache before restoring a back up?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] kaupz:
What kind data is deleted with "Wipe data" ?

I come from fixed sbf, because of black screen and white led.

After that I had internal memory 128mb.

Tried Factory reset and Wipe data, nothing.

I tried to do according to the Beginners guide.

But after installing CM7, and kernel Froyo and Gapps, there is not said, that wipe data is needed (in cm7 instructions).

So I got stuck on the Google logo screen.

Once again, from the beginning with fixed sbf.

Does it make difference, because I have 128mb internal memory or is Cache somewhere else? In ram ?

Many of the new "blur-less" ROMS are doing just that.

Not sure if this is easily doable on a Stock ROM. blurhome.apk would be my first target. However, I would not be surprised if deleting it go you into a boot loop.

I would suggest you look into the likes of Rubix/Apex/Zapx/Tranquility. They have already removed the Blur home and replaced it with TranQ Launcher.
