I had the OCLF 2.0 lagfix installed for a while now... Today I decided to unroot my phone.... So I ran OCLF again. From bottom to top, I began reverting back to the previous unroot state. However, both the install and remove lagfix options was disabled (greyed out). It said no lagfix appeared to have been installed, even though it was. So I unrooted my phone. No issues but now, how do I know what file system is being used ? I want to go back to the official RFS filesystem, and not use EXT3. Also, I noticed that before rooting and lagfix, I had around 1.5 GB free space in my ROM. After lagfix, it was around 600 MB. It is the same now. Please advise... Thank you!

I am sure there is a solution but I ended up restoring from recovery a nandroid prior to that fix. The 1.0 fix on that app. Works fine I will stay away from 2.0 for now

So you're suggesting I should just go ahead and do a factory reset ?
after the factory reset
if you have the 16GB version, you should see 13.8 GB free space

I'm not talking about internal sdcard memory, but about the 2GB ROM. OCLF reserved ~700MB of my ROM to apply the lagfix. After that, I was unable to uninstall it. What I want is to:
1. Get rid of the lagfix
2. Recover lost memory
3. Revert to RFS filesystem from EXT3 (or whatever it is that OCLF uses..)
Bump... Please help!
U have to flash ur firmware thru odin again as that is the only way out. U cud try factory reset first.
Oclf dint install correctly, hence u have this issue.

You can root, then delete the /data/oclf folder manually to get your space back.
Finally, unroot again. 5 mins max.

Thanks! I'll try this now... Hope my phone won't get jacked by manually removing OCLF like that ? If it wasn't properly installed in the first place, wouldn't that mean there's still a chance I'm on the OCLF ext3 filesystem instead of stock RFS ? How can I definitively know what FS my phone is currently on, so as to know if the OCLF is still in effect or not ?
Do a few runs of quadrant. If it's under 1000, it's on RFS. If it's over 1500 (1700 really) you're on ext2

Well, the phone scored ~870 ( isn't that a bit TOO low ?) in quadrant. Guess I'm on RFS after all... Will go ahead and scrap the OCLF data now.. Thanks!

If the system is using RFS, it should be okay to delete the file. Worst case scenario is that you'll have to reflash your firmware, but i highly doubt it'l come to that.
Deleted. Thank you guys!

They say it's a good idea to undo the lagfix before flashing a new ROM (is that so?). How can I undo my lagfix then? Unfortunately I don't recall what lagfix method I used.

That's one of the various reasons why you shouldn't have used one in the first place... *sigh*.
Go into the "about" screen for your phone and see what it says under firmware. If it's voodoo, you'll see something like #voodoo. Likewise, you'll see a voodoo folder on your sd card.

You can disable voodoo by creating a folder called Undo voodoo or something, its on the developers site. Problem is you can't permanently and totally remove them without a flash. The reason I have not done a lag fix..... I did and it killed my market, so Samsung reflashed it for me stock rom.
you have to create a folder called disable-lagfix in the folder called voodoo in the internal sd card. Then reboot.
Also, to have it disabled you have to leave that folder there until you flash a new kernel, or else it will go back to ext4 partitions on next reboot.
Oh, and market problem is not related to this at all.

I rooted my phone, market was fine and bootup screen was fine. I applied the one click lag fix and BAM I lost the S bootup animation and my market would deny me access as my phone was not "provisioned" or "privileged" to access the market.
its not the lagfix's fault that you lost your market...

Oh nevermind bro! Found a solution to this.. Had to delete the boot animation and recover it back from OCLF and then the option to lag fix shows up!
Thanks for your help anyway
Click on unavalilable option ando you will receive an information about the reason of your problem. If there is no space in system, you may remove some files, using root explorer, and get free space in system to run lagfix.
Bye.

You should be able to. I was always able to backup and recover every ROM I ever installed, as long as some version of the same ROM is installed.
In short, if you install a different ROM after u take backup, please install the original version of the ROM, and then restore from backup.

Hi
I have recently flashed Darky's ROM with no problem. It's damn fast but i can't download anything from market . When i try to do it it just apears to download for like 2 sec then it's gone...
I have tried the Market fix from SGS Tools that came with the ROM but still nothing.
Any help will be appreciated !!!
You can try to find the lastest market apk and install it after deleting your current market app from your phone. I read this somewhere before. Hope it helps

2 thinks you can do
First delete the Market update in the Phone and make a restart.
Second think you can do is, Make Backup from your current Rom (Nandroid Backup)
and install the Rom over Darkys App with a Wipe and put the Backup-Files back.
Don´t forget to deactivate the Lagfix.

I solved my market problem...
After some investigation, I found my problem: it was in the cache directory, corrupted after flashing with darky's 9.5...when someone tries to download an app from the market, android checks if there's enough space on the cache directory...if not the download starts for a little while then stops. In my case, cache directory was corrupted and its free space was about 400k instead of 32Mb. So I flashed only cache.rfs with heimdall and the problem went away
Hope this helps to fix this boring issue.

How do i do this?
I'm sorry if someone already asked this question but I was not able find an answer. I am running a custom ROM now, do I have to go back to stock before flashing another ROM?
It is usually not necessarily to do it but it a very good idea to return to stock and master clear with the odin-1-click
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
No you don't need to go back to stock. Nor is is necessary to master clear. Most if not all the roms on here will do a full wipe of your SD card during the install. Flashing back to stock just adds another chance to mess up your phone. This was advised, several months back but it's not necessary now. This doesn't apply if you want to flash to CM7. They have their own install procedure that is different than anyone elses.
Just to add to what the others said. Make sure u flash a 2.2 based rom over ur curent (if thats what u are.using atm). Also you cant restore system app, it will screw up with ur new rom!

Not what I meant.
If he flashed, lets say, FireFly (which is 2.2 based) then he can't flash over with, lets say, CM7 (which is 2.3 based). Just simple logic
@ OP - You can look on the ROM's thread to see what it is based on.
Thank you for all your help. I'm using Phoenix Ultimate now and want to try out the other ROM.
It takes like ten minutes to odin back to stock. I do it every time, just feels like a cleaner install. Plus all the devs put that in their instructions. I trust the devs.
If you download the CWM update.zip before you Odin to stock and leave it on your phones internal SD card, you don't have to root or get ROM manager. Place your new ROM on the internal card too. Just Odin to stock, allow to boot, and restart into recovery (3 button combo), install updates (twice) then use CWM to install zip from card (ROM you downloaded).

One less time touching Odin is one less time tempting fate. But that's just me. I'm pretty sure every rom dev in here has bricked a phone at least once...
much agreed. less odin. less potential for problems.
roms do a wipe now. doesnt matter what you had on it 2.1 or 2.2
2.3 is the only rom version that has a different partition table.
there is no issue flashing a 2.2 rom over 2.1 or vice versa. how CAN you upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2?? CWM anyone? oh **** right!
the only issue with flashing over 2.2 is the 3e recovery... and thers a fix for that. you dont need to go back to 2.1 to avoid the signature verification error... @crystalhand...

Not all devs put it in their op. Some devs say flash first thru clockwork and only use odin when there are problems. Odin could be better used as a recovery tool only, not the first thing you do whenever you want to flash a new rom. Just my opinion.

I've always flashed back to stock using Odin whenever I flash a new rom. Like someone else on this thread said, it just feels cleaner doing it that way. While I don't doubt you guys when you say it's dangerous, would anyone like to offer a brief explanation as to why that is? And would anyone be willing to guess at what the odds of a permanent brick might be? Are we talking something like 1 in every 10 flashes or more like 1 in 1000?
If it's closer to the first one then we really are playing with fire here but if the odds are more like the second one then I don't consider that much of a risk.

I highly doubt someone is going to give you a "odds" answer. Phones can be finicky and they often do weird things. The less you're "changing" things, the better. Odining back to stock then flashing again to the ROM of choice just adds another chance for something to go wrong. Not just cable falling out or battery falling out, just weird coincidence. When there's absoutely no reason to go back to stock, why take the chance? Just because you're programed to THINK it's cleaner doesn't mean it is. As has been said several times already, most roms do a complete wipe of the sd card so there's really no reason to odin or masterclear.

Odin should only be used as a "Oh S**T I bricked my phone" program. But then again, if you read and know what you're doing than it should never be "needed"

Completely agree just want to clarify 1 thing. The roms don't do a complete wipe of the sdcard. The wipe the /data /cache and /system partitions, leaving the /sdcard completely intact, just like flashing to stock would. Master clear just reformats /sdcard partition and is not really needed as the os doesn't use this to function and including this in a rom would be catastrophic if the zip is in fact on the /sdcard partition you are wiping with it.
The most I do is clear cache, data and disable lagfix.

Yup. That's how u do it, if you have no need to root before hand and back up, I'm assuming you've done that if I remember right you are the girl I told to brick her phone yesterday to return, is the replacement on eclair or froyo? Ig it on froyo you will have to get past the 3e recovery that's why I ask.
