Lag fix question ( COG & ULTIMATE ROM) - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all, I couldn't find what I'm looking for in a search so i'm hoping you can help me out.
What is the best and easiest, or best lag fix to use with cognition 3.00+ & ultimate roms? I'm hoping there is one where i don't have to do a lot of swapping of kernals or anything much like that.
also I'm assuming lag fixes help incredibly, how much though? in terms of a speed increase % ?
And how do you go about removing one?
Thanks for all help and links

usually you can enable the lagfix in the cwm, and it will use ext4.
you can find a short introduction here:

What is the best lag mod/fix for the Galaxy S?

Okay there is now alot of mods and fixes on the SGS now. People are porting from captivate, vibrant and i9000. From your experience, what is the best mod/fix and what firmware works best with each mod? I am sure there are alot of combinations and not everyone will be willing to flash to different firmware and the mods. So i thought you guys come post your experience and such.
Stock mod with no changes: I9000JPJG8 (AFRICA)
Custom: XWJM5 + SamSet 1.9b + A2SD Lag Fix
If, like me, you don't want to go down the flashing different ROMs and messing with the SDcard route, try rooting this way (easiest):

and then install Autokiller off the market. It has, so far, made a massive improvement of the lagging problem with me on jf1 (O2 UK). It sounds a bit daunting but it is quite easy, plus its reversible if you need to make a warranty claim.
Mimocon hands down, was very hard to get the partition sorted but once it's done then applying the fix to subsequent firmwares has been a relative breeze and the performance difference had been staggering! There seem to be issues with force closes with the latest m5 firmware but clockwork recovery's fix permissions script appears to resolve them perfectly! Hope that helps a bit!

mimocon is the best i think, i did his version on my captivate and its working fine

[Q] what is the best Froyo custom version for Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000

Hi Everyone,
i'm pretty much new being a Samsung galaxy S user (but proud to be )
anyway, i've seen more than 6 version of Froyo 2.2 already here inside the forum but i really don't an idea which one is the best or latest (faster, stable etc)
i've installed Froyo 2.2 XXJPM with Odin and it's working ok~ but still a bit slow and buggy'-Jumpy when sliding within the Menu pages, no idea how to fix...
anyway, any idea which version will work the best for me or i should wait for the original-official one which should come out in Nov this year?
appreciate your comments folks.
thx!

I use the stock Froyo JPM with the 336meg memory and universial lag fix, DAMN THE THING FLIES! I'm also using the ADVANCED JFS setting for universial lag fix. I highly recommend you just leave your froyo Stock and do what I did. The 336meg kernel also has busybox and root as standard. But hey, If you want to try roms then make sure the new roms have the universial lag fix in it as i notice a few already do. Also the extra 36megs of ram helps a lot. seriously
thanks!
can you share a link for the guide etc?
appreciate that mate!

Or go with Doc's and Kalpik's ROM.

Please post a link to both the universal lag fix and the 336mg kernel.
I'm on Jpm with oclf and it's still pretty laggy

[Q] Hesitating to upgrade to 2.3.3... for a reason?

Hello there,
Here's my situation: I'm still on Froyo JPY stock (unrooted) and have been reading extensively in this forums for quite a long time now.
I have various issues with my current configuration, the most prominent being fast battery drain (my phone has never lasted more than approx. 18hours), slow gps fix, occasional crashes and sometimes slow responses. Apart from that I dig the idea of a different lock-screen, VoodooSound for better audio recording quality while shooting videos at concerts, nice themes etc. etc.
Now I've looked into Virnik0's step-by-step guide and this sounds all very understandable and should give me a rooted 2.3.3 stock with SuperCurio's VoodooKernel (thank you in advance for such a clear guide).
However I'm still hesitating to upgrade for various reasons, and I hope someone can clear up some of these for me and might give me their general opinion.
1. Going from Froyo to Gingerbread, I feel like a full wipe would be necessary (or nicer and cleaner), am I right? How would I go about that before the update? (If I wait until the Kies Update, will this wipe my phone automatically?)
2. With the update, will I get the SamsungApps again with 2.3.3 that came with my phone on Froyo?
3. What's up with the issues in the 2.3.3 version, can they be fixed without too much understanding of mounting and rootexplorer etc.? (You read so much about issues like Swype, GoogleMaps, Battery Drain etc. It's hard to decide whether the new version will meet my needs or make things worse)
Now as an alternative, do you guys think flashing a custom Kernel like Voodoo (Froyo Versions) togehter with a less battery draining modem would already solve some, or all of my issues?
I am just quite confused with all the options and new information everyday and I don't want to mess up anything. This being said, I can easily access both Recovery and Download Mode with the 3-button combos (kind of an intermediate newbie here, i guess )
Well all opinions and answers are very much appreciated.
Kind regards.
Point one gingerbread is BETA .
Point two using the unofficial methods may brick your phone and will certainly void warranty .
Point three using unofficial roms means kies no longer updates .
Point four the Samsung apps you get are in the main the same .
Point four the majority of reported bugs are either bad flash or idiot using the phone .
Your choice to proceed .
Personal route would be to follow Virnik0's step-by-step guide. But stop before Installing Darky rom .
Instead go to Rom Kitchen and build a rom .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
Stock with WIPE Kernel Chainfires .and all other apps available .
when thats done install CF-Root-XW_XEE_JVB-v3.1-CWM3RFS
Followed by if required XWJVB_Gingerbread_v5.2_Android_lock
jje
Thanks for your swift reply, it is much appreciated.
Just for my understanding: The procedure you recommend sounds a little "double" to me:
If I follow Virnik0's guide until step 20 (right before Darky ROM), my phone has already been flashed with stock firmware including bootloaders + CFRoot Kernel + VoodooKernel (supercurio).
After that you mean go to ROM Kitchen (the new Beta I suppose?) and stock again this time with WIPE and Chainfire's Kernel. After that again with CFRoot Kernel?
I am confused. What is the purpose of this. Besides that, can you point me to the XWJVB_Gingerbread_v5.2_Android_lock file?
Not if its already flashed you dont need them just pick what you want .
I probably stopped as soon as i had 2.3 installed and then went rom kitchen etc .
Just stop before the post that says install Darky rom and you should be fine .
XWJVB_Gingerbread_v5.2_Android_lock file?
You will have to search i have deleted all my SGS 1 links .

I think the point he was trying to make was that you can build a rom to suit your needs in the kitchen. If u want sammy apps you can include them, if u don't you don't have to.there are many custom roms out there too. alot off which strip out the crap from samsung. I personally use debusrom but this does not have samsung apps. it does however have the aosp lockscreens. Its all down to what you want. Which is why the kitchen may be a better option for you, right down to the modem you wish to use.

oh man ur always here to answer people's quesion u got thanks from me
now commenting on the original post, the only reason for me stay away from the gb roms is the call recording function which is unavailable yet in gb roms (apart from miui which is awesome but unstable according my experience )
MIUI is not unstable, it just has a few minor bugs, biggest one being battery drain. everything works as it should do, ive been using it since rc3 and i aint going back..... ever lol

[Q] Manipulate ROM Firmware Version???

Hey folks!
So I have been running froyo by laszlo for the longest time but decided to switch back to Donut.
I'm currently running dwang-v1.17.1 and I love how fast it is, the ability to play 3D games and all that other good stuff. I've also used a kernel to OC to 691 without any problems
Anyway, my question is.. Is it possible to somehow manipulate the system into showing that it is running Android 2.x + ??
I want to be able to run a couple more apps, more specifically WhatsApp Messenger..but it is incompatible with 1.6
If anyone has a possible solution, please let me know. Even if it's an idea..I'm kind of desperate here.
Thank you in advance for your replies. Much appreciated
You can fake it by editing the build.prop, but it will not help you. Newer apps are using different Android-APIs and apps programmed against those APIs will not be able to run on older Android versions.

Hey AndDiSa, thanks for your reply.
Is there a way around that? What I mean is, is there a way to 'fake' the details of the Android-API's?
Or is that like trying to squeeze orange juice out of a banana..lol
You need to install a custom rom which supports the new APIs, i.e. Eclair / Froyo or Gingerbread, there are no other chances.
OK, cool. Thanks for your help. It's much appreciated =)

[Q] Choosing ROM, need some advice

Hi,
I've just bought SGS and I need some advice before i choose ROM.
I was reading a lot about different ROMs here on forums, youtube comments, etc.
My favorite ROMs are Darky'S 10.2 and Jetpack mod 8.2 or maybe some ICS rom.
What I want from ROM: speed, smoothness, as much free ram as possible, all things working.
Is here anybody who tried these ROMs and can tell me which one is better? Or maybe some kind of pros/cons for these roms? I don't time to try them all and decide myself which one is best.
Please give me some tips.
Best regards, Boos.
well I'm a noob and have got 10.2.2 darkys and its really fast as far as I can see
