[Q] Zroot4 app - will it work for bell i9000m ? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!!!

[APP] One Click Lag Fix APK

Hello,
I take no credit for this at all. I saw it on the I900 post. and it works on vibrant. It gets rid of the sleep->awake lag.
NOTE: YOU MUST DO THE UNLAGFIX. DO NOT RUN THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT!

I helped RyanZA test this when he was still developing it. This is the 1.0 version of the lagfix, not the newer version, but it's great for people who aren't comfortable installing 2-3 or one of the update.zip versions
coolbeans, so I should be set on installing this apk because I've never tried applying any form of lagfix before, right?
This works great on the captivate. All un-lagfix is is simply removing the lag fix.
Great to hear I'll try this or when I'm back from school or.. I'll download it from school woo

OCLF
Ok so after hours on end of deciding what to do about the lag issues I decided to go with the OCLF 1.0. Man did I make a good choice. I was barely at 900. I am now hitting 2100+. My firmware is stock version 2.1-update1. The baseband is I897UCJF6. My phone has lightning speed now it is truly amazing. For anyone debating on whether or not to do it I say go for it.
pardon my ignorance...but this one focuses on the sleep to wake lag?
This would be fantastic, it annoys me to no end that when I hit the power button I have to wait for it to respond...
is this required to root my phone?
Im sorry i'm a noob.
or need micro sd?
If I run this, will it erase any of my personal stuff?

unlag fix?
what is the link to the unlag fix so i can do this
Works great. Asphalt loads so quick now.
I ran this last evening, and at first boot there was a massive delay of the boot screen running, it stayed on the "AT&T World Phone" screen while all of the boot audio ran. Then the screen switched to the "3G" and "Galaxy S" screens. Rebooted a second time and it's back to normal. I ran Quadrant and found went from a 885 before to a 2160 after. The I/O is running thru 3X faster than it did before the lag fix, the 2D and 3D FPS didn't seem to have changed at all. In normal use, I do see the Music player opens noticeably faster.
Nice work, VERY simple to use.
Thanks for the hard work on this one
Seems to be stuck in between lag fix and undo lag fix
Hi,
I have a captivate that I bought from Rogers.
I rooted the phone, then I applied the lag fix using OCLF lag fix.
I decided to undo the lag fix in preparation of the rogers froyo release...
It seems that the undo succeeded (no obvious errors anyways)
When I went back to the OCFL app, the oneclicklagfix v2.2+ and v1+ are unavailble in red, when I "You already appear to have another lag fix installed! (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5KB)"
I did a restore boot animation to restore the playlogos1 file... but nothing changed.
the undo lag fixes (2.2+ and 1) are also unavailable
I tried Uninstalling ext2 tools (option available) I got this error:
Remove EXT2 Tools failed with error:Couldn't remove library libext2_blkid.so:rm:can't remove'/system/lib/libext2_blkd.so':Read -only file system.
I've checked the internal phone storage available space: 1.69 GB.
Can someone please help? Did the lag fix undo work? is it safe to upgrade to froyo with this issue (once it is release from Rogers that is)
Thanks
My girl has that on her Vibrant and she is always saying your phone is faster and better then mine.I'm running voodoo on P8

Looks like it removed parts, but not all. I'd be hesitant to do the upgrade. Back up your apps, and use Odin(the full odin, not the AT&T one click) to flash the stock firmware. It'll wipe any remnants of the lagfix off.
i897 OCLF install help ..pls
So I downloaded oclf.2.3.0.apk. Installed EXT2 Tools, however, I get an error msg when I try to run either the OneClickLagfix V2.2+ or OneClickLagFix V1+ (which one should I be using anyway?).
"You do no have a /system/bin/playlogos1//system/bin/ playlogo file!"
I try to run Restore Boot Animation and get:
"Restore Boot Animation failed with erro: ....No such file or directory"
Please help or point me in the right direction. Thx!
BTW I'm on Froyo Cognition V2.4.1
I installed OCLF, installed EXT2 Tools, then look at my screen1st pic)OCLF2.2 is unavailable! After I click on it, i get the "no space in data folder" error(pic 2). The 3rd pic shows the space available. So what do I do? I need that fix badly!

[Q] Freeze on Boot Movie. I-9000M, "M" Disappears

I have a Stock 2.1 Samsung Galaxy S I9000M from Bell and suddenly I noticed it would not boot anymore. It shows the model number, then the "M" would disappear and go on with the boot movie (for a good 5 min) then just blank out and freeze.
I had the Voodoo lag fix applied to it but it has been working fine until today.
What should I try doing on it?
Thanks!!

That is strange. From what I read here in the fourms, the symptom of the missing "M" is related to flshing an international firmware but you say your device is stock... Is that correct?
I would start by removing the voodoo lag fix and then doing a factory reset. If that does not work then you may be one of the unlucky people (mostly us here in Canada with the i9000M) whos internal sd card has failed after applying the lagfix.
If anyone else has any info to share or if Im incorrect then please let me know.
Yes, the device is stock (updated through unhacked Kies) + Voodoo.
SO I have disabled Voodoo and then performed a reset in recovery mode. Then another reset through the phone's normal interface.
Currently restoring everything through Titanium then reapplying Voodoo.

The other thing to keep in mind is that the voodoo lag fix actualy flashes a "non stock" kernel to your device so again... It MAY be the voodoo fix that is causing the "M' to disappear as it is compiled on an "international" kernel.
Perhaps if you NEED a lagfix you should use oe that does not modify the kernel itself but be warned... It seems that the lagfixes contribute to the internal sd card deaths that I previously mentioned.
PS... I thought Titanium coul only be used on a rooted device? Are you rooted? If so then your device is NOT "stock".
It would make sense for the "M".
Yes, I'm rooted, I thought root doesn't redefined stock

Wait, "updated through unhacked Kies"? Is it on JH2 eclair, or on some froyo variant? If the m disappears, it sounds like you used the reg hack on kies to update to an i9000 version of froyo
It is JH2, I bought the first batch of Samsung Galaxy S in Canada, it had another version beforehand. I do not have froyo yet, waiting on the official version.

Ah, ok, I understand now. I have no idea. I've only seen the m disappear when you run a i9000 firmware

Eclair with lagfix faster than Froyo with lagfix

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?
Denno
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.

[Q] Lagfix options

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.

LagFix Doesn't work? Can't Flash

Ok, so I have a stock 2.2 FW and I have really bad lag, especially with text messages. So I installed the OCLF from the market, installed the exttools, rooted the phone and did the lagfix v2. It didn't fix the lag. I still had the same exact problems as before. So others suggested using a ext4 kernal. However, my phone can't get into recovery or download mode. I have a phone I find out that will eventually have the shutdown problem. So I decided I would just trade the phone in.
However..the OCLF that has an unroot option..doesn't work for 2.2. So can't do this till I unroot. I thought about using the ADB Tools, but without a 2nd way to get into recovery/download, I didn't want to risk this.
Is there a different market app that can unroot since ryzes doesn't work? Also..any reason why the lag fixes wouldn't work at all? I mean..i get a text message..entire phone freezes for a good minute..recieve 2 back to back..yeah stuck for a while. Also..since I uninstalled the lagfix and ext tools..however..now I can't download any apps with error of insufficient space...I have 9 gigs free.
Anyone else have these sort of problems?
Appreciate the help, thanks!
Uninstalling the "lagfix" does not convert the file system back to rfs it is still in ext2, which is really antiquated btw, that is why you are getting the insufficient space error.
I'm pretty sure Super one click will un root you, it isn't an app, its a pc based program so you would plug your phone in via usb and unroot.
So how do you covert back? I UN did lag fix undid root undid ext tools but still have space problem.
I will try super oneclick. Was hoping to do through phone so could exchange today. The lag is really awful and making phone not able to unstall apps or save pictures wasnt good fix anyway :/.Curious as to why lag fix didn't work though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
that "lagfix" is super old. ext2 as compared to ext4 which is the current filesystem for "lagfix", that And the stock rom is pretty crappy also. and only goes up to android 2.2.
So think they would replace phone that is rooted if its in the O'Neil range of power problems?
