Cog comes with a lagfix. works great too
From my personal experience. No. I put my phone up against a coworker running Cog wiht the lagfix. I see no difference. I love Cognition, been running DG's work since Super Rooter. But in this case, I already did everything manually and the lagfix doesn't seem to make a difference. I'll wait for Voodoo, which apparently will be a while. But that's ok.
Ever since jh7 there has been no need for a lag fix.

Not sure if there's any data one way or another yet, but I'm curious if anyone in the know has any opinions on whether or not it it's best to master clear your phone back to jf6 before moving to cognition 2.2. Does anyone think it matters? Or is it just as well to flash over whatever ROM/configuration you're currently running?
I was unable to use master clear (may have to do with running Odin in a virtual machine) so I just flashed JI6 (had been running JF7) and then did the Cognition kernel swap installation. Froyo with Cognition runs beautifully! I'll have to see how battery life is, but everything else is wonderful, and the phone runs smooth as butter (no lagfix!)

I have a Bell i9000m
I want to root it
I downloaded that z4mod - app
can anyone confirm if it works for the i9000m ?
Works like a CHARM!!! When you run it for the first time you may see that it does nothing for like the first 15 mins to 1/2 hour. If this happens to you just perform a reboot or pull your battery, start the app again and it will root in like 30 seconds...
Make sure you have z4root and NOT z4mod as the mod app is a new type of lagfix and NOT the root app...

does z4mod lagfix work ?
after I root, should I lag fix ?
I am on stock android. Froyo i heard is coming next month. I am curious - will I have to remove lagfix/root before update? Will I lose my apps/contacts when I update to froyo ???
I used the z4mod to root it and it works amazingly. For the lag fix i used the One click lag fix and that worked amazing for me. And the one click lag fix is really easy to remove so i don't have any problems when i flash roms to my phone.
For your backups you should be using Titanuim backup for everything, so if you do lose it its easy to get back. And for your contacts just back them up using Kies, it will take a few seconds
might as well install DOC's i9000m froyo which already have z4mod included

I am scared to try any lagfix for fear of my internal SD card going "bye bye" so I really dont know about it...
I was also curious about Doc's ROM as well but I have seen a few people with corrupt internal SD cards after flashing even through Clockwork Mod so I have not tried it yet... STUPID I9000M's!!!
After going to Cognition 2.3b6, my phone will close by itself if idle for awhile. Any fix for this?

It's a very widespread problem. For me, flashing to 2.2 has made the problems disappear. Try flashing other ROMs. If that doesn't prevent it, flash back to stock and tell AT&T you have shutdown problems. If you don't feel like it, try "Keep captivate alive" or something from the market.
Hm. I think my phone shutting down is both a loose battery issue and hardware problem. I'll flash back to stock and see.

I have just flashed a lag fix onto my phone, and tested it using Quadrant, only to find that it's around over 800 less than what I was getting before.
I had Eclair on my phone, with a lagfix, and qudrant gave me well over 2000 for a score, now with Froyo and a lagfix, I only get 1200..
How could there be such a big difference? I used SpeedMod Froyo for the lagfix on the Froyo version, but I don't know what the name was for the Eclair version..
Is this common? That froyo would be slower than eclair with a lagfix?

SpeedMod is the kernel, not lagfix (if i'm not mistaken).
Lagfix refers to universal lagfix by sztupy or voodoo by supercurio.
I might be wrong
Oh right.. Am I able to install a lag fix as well then?? There is talk about lag fixing in the SpeedMod thread, so that's why I assumed it was a lag fixer..
yes you can, For supercurio's Voodoo,
http://project-voodoo.org/
For Sztupy's Universal Lagfix, you need to refer to the post in xda. Mine comes with Doc's custom rom.
Oh wow, so if I'm getting 1200 without a lag fix, then it should go pretty damn nice when I do apply one. However there were options for a lag fix in the boot menu, and I have applied those already...

You need to activate the lagfix in SpeedMod kernel. Reboot to recovery, go to lagfix option (or something similar) and choose your lagfix schemes. I recommend the "No-RFS EXT4". Try not to use JFS lagfix since it is known to be quite unstable.
After enabling it, reboot your phone, it will then prompt you with multiple backup options.
I recommend you doing a "backup and restore" if you have important apps in your phone.
I did already go through the boot menu, but to be honest, I had no idea what I was choosing. I can't remember the exact one I went for though, but it did have something like ext in the name.
So that would mean this is as fast as my phone will get?

Yes, it would mean that your phone would be more responsive at the expense of battery life.
However, some lagfix options are rather unstable and could lead to crashes/force closes...
So I'd recommend you using the "No-RFS Ext4"
Thanks for the youtube video, confirms what I did what the right way lol.
But to be honest, I'm a little disappointed with how fast my phone is with the lagfix...
Although it is better than stock, so I guess I can't complain too much.

I have rooted my phone using the Onclick rooting software, that seems to have been a success.
However, I tried using teh OCLF from market to lagfix it but nothing seem to have happened in the 30mins I let it do its thing. THe progress bar goes full then start again, and does this repeatedly. And after reading around some people say that's now out dated and other lag fixes should be more suitable
So, now that my Samsung G S is rooted, what options for lagfixes do I have?
Hi, im asking the same questions
Hi, i am in uk running stock froyo 2.2, I have rooted my phone using Z4root, but I want to put a lagfix on, I have read that OCLF isnt very good anymore, and voodoo you have to install a new rom and im not brave enough to do anything like that so which is the best lagfix i can use and i have heard about overclocking what does that mean? thanks in advance
can anyone help us please

Besides the fact I dont know whats a Samsung G S and no idea what your ROM version is you could do what I did. But depends on your ROM and SGS version!!!
But its on all your risk. Read manuals and warnings to the kernel and the app. You have been warned (I have done this on 2 SGS mine and my friends till now , he has 2.2 stock rom and I 2.2.1 stock JPY too)
Took the neldar kernel flasher , backed up my stock kernel.
Then flashed the speedmod CWM version with the kernel flasher, kernel you can find in the speedmod kernel thread.
Applied the tweaks and lagfixes (ext4) from the recovery. done
and that was it. btw when you do this, try to run the rom WITHOUT the lagfixes, just with the new kernel so you can easily get back to your stock. If you want more, then go to the recovery ULK options and do the recommended tweaks from there. If you still need it, then apply the lagfixes (always backup and always on your own risk)

Not sure you have to install another rom, but I do not know the the original voodoo kernel . Maybe you could try with the one I suggested up there.Btw there is more kernels to choose from, depends on your Galaxy Version and ROM.
Overclocking is nothing you should be concerned with yet I think there is a pretty big speed jump from stock to custom kernel, then from custom tweaks and also to lagfixes. If you are not satisfied then you can try that. OC should make the phone faster. In my opinion though the 1GHz is enough for the phone. With OC come some risks (heat, battery usage, stability)
Last night I managed to get the OCLF working on the phone and noticed improvements. Now that I have a lagfix working, will OCLF be alright to leave on there? Or do you still recommend going to somethign else? (I didn't quite understand why OCLF is being considered out dated anyway).
Install the new version (2.2.1) and lagfix is of no need anymore.
Completely satisfied with a smooth running Galaxy now.

Well keep the lagfix you have now. If you wanted try something else you would have to undo the changes you have done till now. If it works and you like it keep it..
To plexat: yes the 2.2.1 it's sufficient in speed.
In my case though I had to do already 2 factory reset once cuz the phone didn't start at all and in time even the 2.2.1 became slow. I installed the custom kernel though just for the sharpness fix but was surprised with the lower battery usage and speed. There is still a big speed jump from stock to custom

Ok man, first of all. You have stock 2.2 but which phone exactly?
In the kernel thread, is written for which phones it is and also for which ROM.
So if it fits yours. You can try what I wrote you somewhere up. Backup, flash the CWM version etc.
First make sure though if you have the correct kernel for your ROM and phone. AND you shouldn't have any other type lagfixes applied.
Thats kinda all. What you can do if you have root, without any trouble, is backup your kernel with the app. Then verify if other things fit. And you can try to flash a custom kernel.
EDIT: Why are you still on 2.2? I mean UK had as one of the first 2.2.1 and plexat is right. 2.2.1 is faster and smoother as 2.2 ? If you dont have any lagfixes or other custom things applied you should kinda update to 2.2.1
Hi Pagot, I checked I had the right kernel and stuff and YIPPEE ive done it, my heart was in my mouth but i took the plunge and it now says i have the kernel above, it does seem more responsive and quicker although the benchmark still says the same? the reason I have still got 2.2 is because I have a branded o2 phone and they havent released it yet for branded phones and i am scared to try and flash it to 2.2.1 is there anything i can now do to speed it up anymore ie lag fixes and things thanks for your help
Glad it worked for you
Well not sure about upgrading the rom with a custom kernel. Am new at this too . So dont flash a rom yet.
From what I asked in the speedmod kernel thread. It should be safe to put back the stock backup kernel you made with the app and then to update if its out. Thats just for 2.2.1 upgrade for you in the future. The condition is however no lagfixes applied!!! If you have them applied it can and will probably go bad on the update!!!

Ok please dont look at the score. Mine is actually worse as on the stock kernel if you are talking about quadrant. They are irrelevant.
If your phone feels right, leave it as it is
If you want to tweak it little more. Get to the recovery and there are some tweaks,should be still safe to make. They are marked as recommended in the ULK options.
I wouldn't suggest yet to apply a lagfix. Try it how it feels now. If it starts getting bad and laggy etc. Then experiment with that. I had a lagfix but reverted back, for me the speed is sufficient how it is now
Since you have now CWM you can even backup your whole phone.
If you dont know how to go to the recovery the 3 button combo. There are many nice tools in the market for that. I personally use SGS toolbox/tools, in it is a shorcut with reboot to recovery.
When you are there. the BACK button is actually like OK so beware of that!!! You navigate with the volume button UP/DOWN and confirm with home or back.
Thanks again, been in and enabled tweeks, just so as I no, I noticed in recovery there is a lagfix option is this where i go to apply this and if I do it how do I disable it if I want to
Also you said I could backup my phone now how do I do this Thanks again
Wow my phone is really speedy now thanks for all the help I've now flashed kernel tweaked and applied lagfix and all is well I've backed up my phone as well

Ha seriously glad for you . One day you have no idea about anything, the next day you run a custom kernel with lagfixes and tweaks.
When you get to it, its kinda not so difficult. (It took me kinda a half year )

How true. Just in case get familiar with Odin. Having fun with flashing by CWM can sometimes result in being stuck. Knowing how to use Odin and having all necessary files on your computer should give you some sense of security.
