when i was installing lagfix en root it my swype is gone ? i still can see it but it wont work
Same here..not sure if it happened with Samset or the lagfix. Either way...im without Swype.
Never had that problem.
What firmware, which lagfix, what customROM (if applicable), which root update are you using?

As the title says ive installed official jp6 via kies (norwegian official).
Tried to install oclf lagfix , since i think the jp6 aint smooth enough without.
Oclf didn work for me atleast, all the buttons is red.
So is there any other lagfix for jp6 out there yet, like voodoo or something else?
You must root it before.
What is the easiest method for rooting this official Froyo ? RyanZA's One Click Lag fix APK should be great and easy to use but it does not support VooDoo but OneClick Lagfix and most of the people say that VooDoo is better. So please can someone give us .apk which could root and install VooDoo lag fix on official Froyo when new VooDoo is out ? Like .apk and if it is not possible then as update.zip all in one solution. I really think that some "update.zip" file which roots and installs VooDoo lagfix at once would be great fot all of us.
Tnx

I used Chainfire's fix:
h++p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Not exactly one-click, but not that hard either.

this worked fine for me, then oclf worked once i removed the cable and rebooted the phone
My Galaxy S was On 2.1 with root and lagfix. im now on froyo running as it comes, wanna root and lag fix, oclf wont root it need another way of doing it. any help?
try universal lagfix kernel, it has root and all you need included.
yeah, there is this wild thing search. look in it for cfroot
If you don't want to try experimental kernels like the one mentioned above, then search for ChainFire's root kernel.
It's tried, tested and stable
Hi everyone,
I have upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 from Eclair 2.1 to Froyo 2.2 via Samsung Kies. I have used Ryan's Z4root to root it which was success. Everything was fine until here. When I tried to fix the lag using the update.zip, it failed saying 'file verification failed' (somthing of this sort). I chekced on different forums and found that there isn't any update.zip file to fix lag on 2.2 (am I right?).
If there is one, could someone point me in that direction. If there isn't, how can I undo 2.2 and rollback to 2.1 so that I can root it and fix the lag.
Please ask if you need any further details regarding my phone or the process I used to root and fix the lag.
Thanks in advance.
Superoneclick worked for me on 2.2 and 2.2.1 if you just need to root the phone.

Thanks for your reply but I have already rooted my 2.2. What I am looking is for a lag fix solution on my 2.2 or rolling back to 2.1 where there are loads of easy lag fix solutions.
head over to the android dev subforum, look for any of the lagfix kernels.
Alternatively use cf-root which will allow you to use 2e recovery and thereby apply your update.zip
Do you know which 2.2 firmware you flashed? Was it jk3 or jk4? This sounds like a recovery version issue and not all solutions support every version of firmware.
Ryan's Z4root to root
+ Ryans OCLF for lag fix works for me .

Any lagfix that can be installed as an app should be ok. You'll still be prevented from applying anything via the update.zip method until you resolve the recovery "issue".

My current 2.2 firmware is JP3. This is what is showing after I updated to 2.2 via Kies.

Yes!!!
Ryan's Root and OCLF worked for me aswell.
Rooting worked fine on the first go but lag fix resulted in a black screen on my galaxy. As I had an external SD card in my phone, I removed it out and ran the lag fix again. It worked this time!!!
Hi guys,
I was just wondering, when the JPU (2.2.1) update comes, I would like to upgrade to it from scratch (remove voodoo, hard-reset the phone, etc).
As of now, I have stock 2.2 + voodoo. How do I completely remove voodoo and everything else, and update to 2.2.1 (not just disable voodoo)?
Does the upgrade through KIES remove voodoo?
All I want is a fresh new 2.2.1 phone, as stock.
Many thanks!
Any ideas?

create a disable-lagfix file/folder in /sdcard/Voodoo (/sdcard/Voodoo/disable-lagfix)
and it should disable Voodoo. alternatively you can disable it via recovery. it does the same thing. (creating a file).
when 2.2.1 is out(if ever), Kies should be able to upgrade without a hitch though i've never personally used it.
it's best to remove all lagfixes and tweaks and all that funny custom stuff prior to upgrading if you're aimming to be "clean".

Thanks, but what I was aiming for was a totally clean phone.
Meaning no disable-lagfix folder in sdcard. Just clean, stock phone.
Does the firmware update fix that or is there a way to achieve that?
Unless I'm mistaken, you first need to disable lagfix as described above. After this, you need to flash a new kernel which doesn't include voodoo or another lagfix. If you're flashing stock JPU or any other stock firmware, that will take care of your problem.

Hi all,
I have a notification from AT&T that I can now update my Froyo Captivate to Gingerbread.
I am currently rooted (Even if rooted, I am not using any custom roms.. and I don't seem to need any.. I am happy with what has come with Cappy. I rooted it just to sideload the apps as it comes disabled in Froyo by default)
My question is: If I use the Kies and update my Cappy to gingerbread, will I be able to sideload the apps as I do it now?
As I am rooted, will it create any problem updating it to gingerbread using Kies?
I just updated to gingerbread yesterday using kies mini, and after I did the "Allow Installation from non-Market Sources" was visible. I think thats all you need for sideloading. You will lose the Root, but like you said you don't need it.
I'm not sure if beeing rooted will affect kies, I was on a custom rom so I used a oneclick back to stock and then kies
thanks t-roth for the response. How is your experience with new stock GB?
Does anyone knows if I am rooted, I can directly go to the Stock Captivate GB using the Kies Mini

If your rooted phone can connect to Kies, you can install the update.
Thanks Bruce. I will try that out..
Probably the last question. Am I going to see huge performance change moving from Froyo to GB?
I was rooted and Kies had no issue with my phone being so. It left me root-less after the fact, and I felt naked. The number one reason you SHOULD want to be rooted is to get rid of the freaking still-born garbage AT&T thinks we should endorse and like. As far as actual side-loading...I was unable to get the Sideload Wonder Machine to work. But I didn't sweat it because I quickly sought Root. Some of the more powerful utilities require root, but for the casual user, you probably won't want to be messing about in system folders anyway.
You say you "quickly sought root", but did you find it. I tried the 2.3.5 upgrade and as noted it left me able to load non-market apps ok but I was root-less. I haven't been able to root the KK4 upgrade and since I live and die with my Root Explorer and TI Backup I NEED the root. Z4 Root wouldn't work and neither would any of the 3 versions of Super 1-Click that I have (1.6.5, 2.1.1 & 2.3.1). If you were successful, what did you use?
I think it depends on how you enabled the side loading of apps. I'm not on the official gingerbread but that's what I think.

use the newest version of super 1 click root.. duh.
or look up the fugu mod root method. odin flash fugu root kernel, let it bootloop once, then odin flash your stock kernel again... or a cwm based kernel for your android version (kk4)

I used SQLite editor when I was first rooted.
