Does anyone have a problem running the Premium ROM Manager backup routine AFTER installing 1-click lag fix? Phone starts the script just fine, but stalls at "backup DATA." When I uninstall the lag fix, backup script complete and all is good. I'd like to have both running on my phone, but if I had to choose, I'd sleep better at night with ROM Manager and complete backups. Has anyone experienced this and/or fixed this once they encountered it? I've written to Koush twice about this but I'm still awaiting a reply. Thanks for any help.

Its not stalling, its just seeing the new lag fix file partition as a huge file so it takes forever to back up. Try just leting it sit for like 15-20 min while it does its thing.
Patience (and your guidance, Clienterror) is a virtue. I've now learned that 17 minutes of waiting with no dealybobs twirling or progress bars advancing does not necessarily mean it's time to pull the battery and re-boot. Thanks much for your help.

I received my phone back a few days ago and I instantly flashed Cyan 5.0.6 test 3.
However I have a really annoying issue where my Market isn't quite 'correct'.
It seems to be missing the 'top paid' tab.
It also takes an age to load the info for any app I click on and the status stays at 'installing' even though it is installed and it will only refresh when I reboot.
I have tried to restore the backed up propriety apps, nandroid backup and restore, flashed a stock rom, flashed cyan 5.0.1
But NOTHING works.
I know the slow market is related to the missing tab, it's like half of the market app hasn't loaded properly.
I had this issue before my phone went off for repair and one day it fixed (I don't know how) but as soon as it did, it performed as it should and it took seconds to load app data and install, it also stated the app was installed.
I suppose what I'm looking for is HOW can I completely reload the Market from scratch?
Thanks guys.

Wow that is so weird... I assume you do wipe/cache/dalvik before flashing a ROM right? Have you tried cyan 5.0.6 yet? If not, give it a try, do the wipe before flash of course, and hope that works... Also, do you have a backup app? like titanium back up or back up pro? Did you set it to auto restore perhaps? Probably just a bad market back up? Thats all I can think about... If it doesnt work, then its beyond me brother

Hi Man,
I know it's really bugging me.
I've tried everything including wiping the Dalvik and normal cache.
I think I might try Enomer's ROM to see if that solves it but I can only tether at the moment as we've moved house and I won't have BB back for 2 weeks.
I have Titanium pro installed as I have over 400 apps on my phone!
Hey bro,
Apparently there have been a few reports about the same issue with the market, probably has something to do with the market update. Anyway, try uninstalling the market via titanium if you can that is. And reinstall. Nandroid before doing it.

it was working fine with both restoring and backing up my roms before (jm5), but once I've flashed over to jg8 it's stopped working.
one thing that's different is that I applied RyanZA's lag fix that makes use of ext2.
to be honest I don't even think that's the cause but I'm just putting putting it there for information's sake.
any help is appreciated, thanks.
had this on my phone right today as well...was trying to do a backup after a flash -
it's not that it stopped but it just really takes an awful long wait to finish that part of it
really? I guess I'm not a man of patience but the first backup went by faster! I shall give it another try when I'm not using the phone, thanks.
Yeah,i did this last night. Was worried it wasn't going to complete however just left it to it a bit and it does get through it.

Yeah my EXT2 doesn't play nice with backup programs. Someone could make a new backup program that supports it, I guess, but that's probably not going to happen. It should be just temporary until either samsung gives us a better update, or someone cooks up a custom rom that won't need it.
well then, I'd rather have no lag than anything! damned samsung...
I can confirm this
I have a Bell Vibrant. I first applied the OCLF. Pressed Volume up, plus center button, plus power and booted into recovery.
Applied update.
Rebooted.
Went back into OCLF and played with all the other optimizations.
Installed Rom Manager.
Tried going straight to backup - rebooted into recovery and failed.
Installed nandroid recovery. Rebooted into nandroid recovery -> Great Success!
Clicked backup and everything seemed to be going well till it got to the file
linux.ex2
Then it seemed to be stuck for 3-5 minutes. I was reading this forum page when it got going again.
Great Success!
Thank you all!
For me, it stopped for about 5-7mins. It went again after I had a cigi.
I upgraded my wife's Captivate to KB1. Everything seems ok for the most part but it does the buzz ... buzz-buzz-buzz sequence that indicates a force close every time it boots. It happens before the lock screen comes up and there's no message box about it after I unlock the phone, so I'm not sure what is causing the problem. Is there a way to figure out what is FC'ing so that I can try to fix it?

That could be many things that start on boot. Phone, Framework, market, ext. Did you load any themes at all. Did you master clear before doing the update? Sense it still boots makes me thing it is an app and not the one of the frameworks. Did you install anything or restore any system data?
Could be an app as well. When I started flashing 2.2 roms certain applications just would not play nice
Happened to me too, even before I restored. I even factory cleared and tried it again and still had the same troubles. I'm on Cognition 4 (charging for 4.1) and don't have that trouble anymore. Go figure.
The only things I had done to her phone were root so that I could do a nandroid backup, and put a Voodoo kernel on it. Before the upgrade I undid the lagfix and did another nandroid backup.
The FC on boot happened the first time I started it after the upgrade, and has happened every time since then. In the meantime I have put Supercurio's KB1 voodoo kernel on it and rerooted. I also uninstalled the Eclair Car Dock and Desk Dock apps in case they were causing a conflict. I don't see anything else obvious that would cause the problem. I've never used TiBU on the phone.
I was hoping there was a way to get a log of the phone's activity so I could figure out what is happening before the lockscreen loads. Is there a way to do that?
Kill the power
Pull the battery. Let it sit. Install battery. Boot Up. Should fix 4 U
I'm getting the same this; during startup I get a buzz-pause-buzz-buzz just after the lockscreen appears. Otherwise all is fine.
I have no idea what is causing this. I HAVE tried

. . . didn't think it would work and it didn't. lol
I wonder if it's caused by that screwed up QuickOffice file they included in KB1
Solution
I found the answer to both the "buzz-pause-buzz-buzz" and the QuickOffice icon being screwed up problems; I did a reset/data wipe.
I used Titanium Backup to backup all my apps and settings, saved all my contacts to my SIM, then did a reset/data wipe from CW Recovery.
Restoring everything wasn't too bad once I got TiBu running correctly again.
Been having problems with my widgets since flashing bk, though to be honest I don't think BK has caused it. Whenever I reboot all of my widgets show problem loading widget. Some other threads have said to check that your widgets aren't on your sd card, which mine aren't. They work alright if I delete them and add them again, but that gets to be a pest, especially when managing 4g.
I'm running Gv 1.3, bk 1.0, and I've got ice cream kangwich, all of which I adore and am really grateful for.
Anyone else encountered this/have suggestions? Tried reinstalling individual widgets, etc.
Thanks everyone

I was having this issue to, but I never really figured out what was causing it. I suspected it had something to do with my clearing the dalvik cache or some other weird crap I was doing. This sounds like a paradox, but after installing BK, I felt like my phone ran faster, but was more prone to getting "bogged down" after awhile, and startup times were painfully slow.
However, I just finished finished removing the supercharger included with GV1.3, and installed the latest version along with a few of the extra tweaks available, and all of these issues have gone away.
Sorry, I realize this isn't that helpful. But you could try doing the same thing...It's definitely worth it; I'm seeing a pretty significant increase in snappiness.

Is the "snappiness" in a form of a 'circle' or 'Z' formation?
Well I've tried everything short of reflashing . Any ideas? I have reinstalled go launcher, reinstalled my widgets etc. Resupercharged. I Tried adw too. Don't want to reflash but I am running out of options. If I do reflash, would want to format everything. Tips for formatting internal? Know I shouldn't do it from settings. Where should I? Just want to start from scratch. Sorry about strange tone, practicing on swift key. So much trouble from some broken widgets. Thanks everyone

Why wouldn't you want to format from within Settings? I've done that before with no issues. Perhaps you're confusing this with not wanting to Factory Reset from within Settings? Because that you definitely don't want to do.
Or perhaps I'm crazy. But I've definitely formatted the internal (and external) sdcards from within the phone Settings. In fact, on one occasion I corrupted my external sdcard, and the only means of formatting that would make the phone recognize it again was formatting it within settings.

!!!! TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!!
!! I post this because it worked for me, 2 of my friends and I did this myself personally with my own pc/software !!
### IMPORTANT NOTE ###
Doing this can BRICK your phone if you don't know or not familar with what I'm doing.
If you're new to this, don'tbother doing it yourself as BRICKING your phone risk would be much higher
------------------------------------------------
I have issues last month when I was using gingervolt 1.3
Issues are
random reboots
reboot when tapping return soft key
no bluetooth at all can't connect to anything
screen freeze
some broken apps/widgets that have to uninstall/reinstall a few times
So I got tired of it and backup all my apps/app data/contacts with " mybackup root " app and put it in my pc
------------------------------------------------
!! IMPORTANT NOTE !!
Before trying to replicate what I did make sure you are able to flash the v7 tot file with LGNST and the phone can reboot otherwise it'll be hard to recover you're phone.
I did this because LGNST works flawless for me everytime so if you had problems w LGNST
!! DON'T TRY THIS !!
------------------------------------------------
After I copied my backup files/data into my pc, i checked the debug mode to make sure it's ON before I booted into CWM
go to "" mount and storage ""
from there I wiped all my data to start clean which include
Wipe cache
Wipe data
Wipe system
Wipe sdcard
------------------------------------------------
!! IMPORTANT NOTE !!
as you wiped everything noted above your revolution
WILL NOT BOOT UP
ALL FILES IN SYSTEM/SD-CARD WILL BE WIPED CLEAN
YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR BACKUP FILES INCLUDING CWM RECOVERY FILES
that why it's very important to transfer all your backup files to your pc/mac and you can flash v7 tot with LGNST without any problems
------------------------------------------
After I completely clean my revo I plug it into my pc from CWM and run LGNST
LGNST recognized my phone as I expected then I started to flash the v7 tot file
Waited for about 15 minutes for it to complete the whole process
when LGNST reach about 80% it'll reboot you're phone
Make sure LGNST display COMPLETE before you unplug
Now I got a complete bone stock phone with v7 gingerbread I started the root--revotool kit--GV 1.3 again
I use the esteem root method to root my revo as it works for me flawlessly
I also use the original revotool kit since I don't have any issues with it
Then I transfer my backup files back to my phone and reinstalled it with myBackupRoot app
Doing all this work and taking the risk did payoff
It fixed all issues I had mention earlier and been running flawless ever since even after I flashed BK kernel
No reboot, no screen freeze, bluetooth connects with anything I have
As I mention above, not only did it work for me it also work for 2 other friends
Good luck

my phone is working very slowly and hanging alot! what should i do to mae it work properly! i am on riginal firmware and non rooted! please help guys!
Clean cache. Delete unnecessary apps and content. Use task manager to kill apps you don't use. Remove widgets that you don't need from all home screens.
Also, try installing some kind of activity monitor and check your CPU load, maybe one of your apps is constantly draining cpu power.
If nothing helps, back-up your data and do a factory reset, that will make your phone as fast as it can go on stock rom.
Also i would highly recommend flashing ICS if you don't need Samsung apps - as it's much faster.
hey thanks alot for ur help...but ICS is not officially out for note right? i am a noob in rooting and all...so i wanna do it the official way!
Goto settings/privacy/factory restore.
It will wipe your phone so take back up before if you need to with titanium backup or something. Then of restoring, don't restore any system settings.

Yes, it's not out yet. You have to wait from 1 week to 2 months, nobody knows when will Samsung push the update. For now, i guess factory reset will help - remember to back up!

There are several reasons this can happen. The ones mentioned above are definitely likely:
One or more apps running all the time. Prevent these by uninstalling, freezing, or disabling their event listeners. For much of this you may require Root access.
Too many widgets. This will generally slow any launcher down, although I am not sure they will slow anything else.
And this one I have read and noticed myself:
The system 'power saving' mode is set. This is at Settings -> Power Saving. I turn this off as it makes the phone lag badly.
