[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franklin01:
You should include rfs free rom from sztupy, OCLF from RyanZa, and apptonand.

In my experience, I am currently running voodoo pre3 and it is fine but need more days to see.

OCLF was not really a fix on my phone.

RFS free rom is awesome (v0.1 was faster than 0.2) but battery is discharging really too fast.

APP2NAND was good with app but not very useful since you cant add a lot of app to the nand.

So I would say:

RFS free rom is the best lagfix but battery drain make it hard to use.

Voodoo is very good.

App2Nand is good with app on the nand but thats all

OCLF doesnt really fix lag on froyo (was good on eclair).

I recommend using voodoo while waiting for RFS free rom to be updated.

note: I will try voodoo with app2nand later and see if it can be faster.

I didn't try z4ziggy kernel mod yet (need time to try lag fix, at least a week with each...)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x3gypxtianx:
Voodoo was awesome on Eclair, but once the z4mod came out in Alpha - I got curious.

And I'm glad I decided to try it. It creates an extremely smooth experience on the SGS. From what I've been reading about the newest release of Voodoo, some people are having slight lag when opening the app drawer when using LauncherPro on Froyo.

I can't give feedback for both of them on Froyo, but I'm satisfied with z4.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercurio:
On the lagfix part, if using Ext4, Voodoo and z4mod for Froyo are the same.

Voodoo use optimized mount options for Ext4 in 2.6.32 z4ziggy don't do yet but will.

The rest (conversion process) is cosmetics.

You know, it's just an Ext4 filesystem ;)

Froyo Voodoo is not yet available with stock kernels but all the code is already here, it will appear very soon for every Galaxy S phone (not just I9000)

Source came first because it allow to be creative, not just "fix things".

Some more memory management optimizations and filesystem parameters may be improved @Voodoo in the future, but I'm sure they will also be in z4mod :) (and the other way of course!)

z4ziggy is on #project-voodoo since the beginning and we share our infos and experiences

project-voodoo aims at also improving eye and ears experience with Voodoo color and sound.

The lagfix part is pretty much done since months ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph4nt0m_:
I am using z4Mod too. I'm using it now for 3 days and I can't complain about it, everything works fine. There is no lag, no problems with root... Can't wait for the next update :)

Can't say anything about Voodoo, because I didn't try it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenkinz:
I actually had both (z4mod installed yesterday, and voodoo today, both on a fresh jpm), I would say they are probably on par but I thought voodoo setup is more seamless than z4mod.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralf89:
I tried voodoo5 pre3 and except for 1/2 sec booting color scrambled screen is perfect with jpm root. Don't know about z4mod
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haroonasla:
RFS Free Rom from sztypy is still very experimental and not ready for general consumption. That is why i didn't add it.

As far as OCLF is concerned, its not actual conversion of file system so its in a different category (that is why it works on most builds - eclair or froyo) since it uses a loopback system .... gets laggy over time and with lots of applications installed + space issue.

More compatible and feasible options at this time are only z4mod and voodoo. I agree with supercurio regarding the ease of installation of voodoo and comparatively less complicated setup process. About the bugs, i am sure they will be sorted out in no time for both voodoo and z4mod.

Also ... as supercurio said, another benefit of voodoo is color and probably sound fix soon ! which is better for a full experiance. (maybe he can develop a real firmware someday which samsung ment to do for galaxy s in real :D)

But the question is between lagfix options. Both only convert /data partition and not other partitions at this time. Also, has anyone tried z4mod with ext2 conversion ? does it actually give better speed or is it just an assumption. Real use testing is the one which matters afterall !

If ext4 conversion is same in both voodoo and z4mod, then why there is a difference in quadrant ? just curious not that i believe in quadrant scores as the tests are very primitive and does not depict real usage at all ! so which one is actually faster ? can we actually perform a read write speed test ?

JPM/JP6 "GoodBye RFS" ROM 0.2 vs voodoo pre3 -> voodoo pre3 [GRFS, its good by still need some fixes]
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titooo7:
Interesting thread. Hope we can get some nice conclusions and the thread don't get contaminated by wars between devs or fanboys :)

-I didn't try the voodoo5 pre3 yet. After reading the feedback of some users I think I'll wait till the next beta (pre4?).

-I'd like to test z4mod but the install instructions seems bit complicated to me so still didn't tried...

So I just can recommend sztupy rom, its still at experimental stage but exceptsome problems I'm having (random vibrations) it seems stable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsellers2:
I agree with most of this post super with the exception of lag fix being complete. Until the /dbdata folder and others can be converted on voodoo, lag is still present on the apps that use the database folder. Like google voice, sms, touchdown contacts. When you have a lot of emails or contacts or sms, lag can be upward in the range of 5 seconds before those apps open.

The voodoo fix is great, but not complete. Think how much smoother this phone would run with the rest of the folders converted to a file system other than rfs.

Super, your work is awesome thanks for everything!

I'm using the voodoo lagfix on JPM, and it's really much faster and smooth than the OCLF lagfix.

I used OCLF before voodoo was out and after 4 days it feels a lot slower

Voodoo is a brand I have always trusted and it has not failed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maddmatt:
I've been using Z4mod with the EXT2 filesystem for a few days and I'm very happy with it. Seems very reliable and performance is fantastic.

I haven't tried Voodoo myself. But I don't think the two will be very different. Although Voodoo includes changed screen settings like colour and sharpness which some people will like, depends on personal taste.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xero2002:
I've tried OCLF on JPK and now Voodoo on JPM.

So I don't know if they can really be compared.

But as others mentioned, OCLF on Eclair was blazing fast, on Froyo I didn't really feel a difference.

That's why I stuck to Doc's SuperSlim ROM with my second JPK flash.

Yesterday I applied Voodoo to Tayatuma's SuperLite and it did add additional speed.

Default browser is laggy but that's a different problem.

Would like to try z4 in the future, but very happy with Voodoo atm. :)

I have around 30 apps installed.

Is there a way to actually measure the read write speeds using different file systems ? would be conclusive i guess.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanZA:
Not true, /cache is very rarely used, and /dbdata is only used for device settings and similar (as well as the native contacts app, so there is that). Not a big performance boost from moving them away from RFS. System is also not that useful to convert as it is a read only filesystem, and RFS read speed is not that bad. Would still help for phone boot up speed and that, but not an enormous difference in device usage.

Basically, if you have /data converted it is 95% of the way there, at least.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercurio:
You made a valid point, I need a better method to measure impact of RFS /dbdata.

Would you run some tests if I make a "/dbdata in ext4" version ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercurio:
Yes, if Samsung's next Firmware are more lag-free like they seems to try to do, I'll build color + sound only versions without lagfix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
I think what he means is that he wants a lagfix version only and a lagfix+visual+sound fix package... Personally the color calibration on my phone is perfect so Id need the lagfix only on my end.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z4ziggy:
Regarding the initial post -

As you've stated, the projects have 1 similarity - they both provide a lagfix. But thats where the similarities ends.

z4mod aims to be generic (works on all SGS variants, including Tab, without any modification to the build system), mutil-version (eclair, froyo, and should theoretically work without any change on gingerbread too), and work on all customized kernels too (ie, "you compile the kernel, we take care of lagfix" (tm)).

And ofcourse, doing all this while maintaining the KISS philosophy :)

I admit we're not 100% there, but thats where we aim for. In the last few days major changes has been made into the build system to get us one step closer to achieving our goal. Time will tell...

[edit]

And to avoid any confusion: I think the voodoo project is an amazing piece of code, and Supercurio has contributed enormously with this great project to our community. I am simply stating the obvious differences between the projects.

I am also holding off on voodoo until a lagfix only version without colorfix is released, plus something that concerns me about voodoo is that is seems quite difficult to completely uninstall, but i will wait for the next version hoping that everything is good.

Hi everyone,

im running JPM on my international version I9000.

Whenever I try saving a new contact or try to save changes to an existing contact the phone gives an error saying "Contact cannot be saved" (I'm running on German language settings and that is what the corresponsing translation should look like).

I first started experiencing this problem when running JPK. Before updating to JPM via ODIN I ran the latest Eclair built giving me the same error. After the flash to JPM i did a wipe/factory reset from recovery.

I have the following accounts configured: Gmail, Whatsapp, Skype

I tried disabling the Whatsapp and Skype sync but couldn't solve the problem either.

thanks for your help!

Hi everyone,

i made this little application to menage the accelerometer on the SonyEricsson Xperia x2.

As you surely know, on the x2 accelerometer works only for a limited number of applications. And in most device, it's simply disabled at all...

With this app you can:

1) Enable / Disable accelerometer

2) Select the applications you want to rotate using the accelerometer

Soon i hope to add some functions to manage the accelerometer at a deeper level.

The interface is very simple, consider that i made the entire app in 48h... but it works.

Hope someone appreciate it. I did :).

UPDATE: So after I installed it the phone worked great. I am not just talking about accelerometer program only!!! The phone,

every

program was really responsive and the phone was not its usual sluggish self!!! I mean screaming fast!!! The camera utility even worked. . . multiple times. . . after i would turn it off and on, again and again. Usually the camera would just stop working after about the 2nd time I tiurned it on/off.

In Short: the phone is more then useable after this and as responsive as an iPhone !!!

This "increased performence" lasted the rest of the night up until it had about 10%left on the charge and I decided to charge it up till the morning.

Well I took the charger out of the phone this morning and tilted it to see if the accelerometer still worked and it is back to its sluggich self.

So I rebooted the phone. So far it is really fast like it was yesterday when I first installed the program.

I will post further results later.
[XPERIA X2 Themes and Apps] xwing_5:
Ok. So over the weekend I noticed that the phone was way more responsive than usual.

It did, however , have its usual hangups from time to time, but not as many as usual.

What I mean by hang ups is the following:

- clicking on an application and waiting longer than normal till the phone responds (usually with Google Maps)

-at one point BING actually worked with the "SPEAK" option, however it did not work a few hours later, stayed at "THINKING" until I shut the program down

All in all MonsterMash hit on somthing that has made the phone faster after a re-boot. If only this could be slightly modified to last as long as the phone is on!!!

Great job MonsterMash!! Keep up the good work!!
