I personally still recommended oclf as a way to improve a phones performance for a newbie or someone who is not ready to flash kernels or ROMs yet.
If you have an external SD card in, remove it, uninstall the ext2 tools, install them again and try the lagfix again. Once you get it to work, remember to undo it before flashing your first kernel.

I personally still recommended that NEVER use oclf. It's outdated, with very ugly install scripts, a plague to remove and nightmare to fix with a post flash to retrieve data (if you don't dare lost data it's ok).

I didn't have a problem using it, or removing it....and I have a feeling far more phones were trashed by people rushing in to flash kernels before they knew how then have been damaged by oclf.

The creator of the app left XDA for lots of reasons, very few to do with technical issues. Yes I recommended it as a simple way for someone brand new to android or sgs (as I was) to make his phone more usable.
You can try to use it again, or flash a kernel directly via odin...either way I hope it works out for you.

When I finished flashing cm7 on my crappy, I tried to reboot but it just sat at the "galaxy s cyanogenmod" screen for a good 30 minutes. I took out the battery and tried again but I got the same results. Any ideas? BTW I didn't disable lag fix before I flashed. Is that the problem? Thanks in advanced!

Sounds like a bad flash, try reflashing it. If I recall correctly, it changes the fs, so having lagfix enabled shouldn't be a problem, though in general it's good practice to disable lagfixes before flashing anything just to play it safe.
So try a reflash and, to quote atinm from the OP of the CM7 for captivate thread:

From what I read, CM7 requires ext4 to run and lagfixes are accomplished by converting over the filesystem from RFS to ext4. So if anything, having the lag-fixed enabled is what you are suppose to do. I wouldn't turn it off as that would mean converting the filesystem back to RFS, which is incompatible with CM7.
The early gingerbread ports (dual boot) required you to have an ext4 lagfix enabled, but CM7 for captivate as it stands now gives you a fresh filesystem either way. The only prerequisite for installing CM7 for captivate currently is a kernel with CWM recovery.

OK so I tried re-flashing, but this time when I flash the intital kernel and booted into (Orange) clockwork, its says at the bottom "E: no misc partition" . I continues flashing and got the same results. What now?

The error message happens to everyone and is a non issue.
Are you following the steps of formatting data, cache, system? Are you doing a factory reset after you flash the cm7 initial xxxxx zip?

ha! third times a charm! it worked!
Either you didn't follow the flash instructions correctly or something in your phone is preventing a successful flash. restore your phone to unrooted stock, and then re-root and try the install again. be sure you are doing exactly what the instructions say.
Thanks you guys

My mom has a captivate running stock android 2.1.
I only enabled lagfix on her phone and nothing else.
After the official froyo came out I was thinking about updating it.
I have a few questions about it. Please answer as many as you can...
1. Will all apps disappear?
2. If yes for #1 do I need to get titanium backup?
3. Do I disable lagfix?
Please help.. thank you
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
Here's your answer, search the forums. You will find it.
1. All apps will dissapear! Be warned
2. You should use titanium backup thats a good idea but the kb1 must be rooted and sideloading enable to get them all back (use super one click) also put the titanium backup folder on external sd or on computer just in case
3. YES DISABLE THE LAGFIX VERY IMPORTANT

Thanks for the reply!. Would have caused a great trouble if I didn't question this...
Anyway just wondering, if I just had the captivate and did not know anything about root/flash/etc I would have just updated and gotten everything deleted right?
Did Samsung mention the fact that all my apps would have disappeared?. I just think its unfair to some people....
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
With normal android devices this would not have been an issue as the apps reinstall when you light into your Google account but that feature is missing from the Galaxy line

Yea, you should take all the important folders off your internal sd card like the titanium backup folder and put them spmewhere on you computer, that's what I did and once I updated I got all my files back, I still needed to root/enable sideloading to get my apps from TiBu back

Depends on wich Cognition you want if 4.x.x or 5.x Either way both have instructions on their Dev thread.

Ill take the new version and i saw some stuff on the dev page but i dont really understand it. On my infuse all i do is download the zip, and install it thru cwm. Not sure if the cap is the same.

Well for Cog 5 you will need to flash GB bootloaders. BUT the 3 steps on the OP will work. There some risk when flashing bootloaders, but read up on how to use ODIN and they key combinations, nothing to it =)
I dont know...i looked back on the dev page but i cant download anything since i dont have unknown sources. Ill dig around for a video or something.

If its stock, then its just getting CWM on that phone and flashing it. To get CWM theres a few ways to do that, simplest would be get a 1 click root from dev (AIO toolkit is very useful) and install Rom Manager from the market install CWM. Move the Cog zip file to your phones Internal SD reboot in recovery (Rom manager has the feature to do that) and flash from SD, look for the cog file.
if so, what are the easiest and/or quickest ways to accomplish this? Thanks for any suggestions. Btw, rooting and applying the oclf are the extent of my modding knowledge, so phrase your replies, if any, with that in mind.

Firstly, what's oclf? I'm not quite sure what that is. The official update guide from Samsung recommends removing root before installation, at least if I recall correctly. You can read it to make sure. But I know many have installed it while rooted and with no problems. It's basically depending on how comfortable you are

I received the SGH-i957 for work and they told us not to add any weird apps. What I want to do is remove some the crappy AT&T apps to use less resources. I have rooted an EVO 4g and a HTC Arrive Windows Phone as well as my old HTC Touch Diamond. I have been reading the different threads and I am just curious what you guys think the best method is?
It really doesn't use more resources

If your work said to not mess with apps then I wouldn't really root it.
If you don't care about that, then just follow the rooting thread. I personally like the kernel root method

I will go into more detail I guess. I want to backup how they gave it to me and run it custom, be it remove apps or a new rom. I am worried about some kind of privacy issues. With my HTC Evo 4g I could backup the original rom completely and then uninstall programs or install a new rom.

Flash twrp and make a nandroid backup then do your root process.

Yeah, I am definitely rooting it. It is ungodly slow with only a few programs on it and it keeps using at&t data even though I have removed all widgets and have very few apps installed. I know that know one wants to hear me say this but every time I use Android I dislike it more and more. I am sorry if I offend anyone.

Ok, I got permission from the boss to root and either clean up the stock rom, remove crap, or load a custom rom. So should I just follow the guide in this and if I have to run a custom rom use the on in this thread. Do I have to use the twrp and nandroid backup to make a backup? Or can I restore the stock rom buy using Method 2 after I follow the Method 1 in the root guide?
