hello xda buddies im new to all this and need help please, just rooted my phone and applied oclf which has improved my phone no end quadrent benchmark of 1861 but now i want more! im thinking of flashing new rom and changing too voodoo lag fix ect. just wondered wot people think ? i want a stable but lightning fast phone n e help much appreciated?
also wots the best setup for a samsung galaxy s as this is wot i have.

I recomend you download "voodoo kernel 5.5" from google saveit to your sd-card and get "sgs kernel flasher" from market. Flash, boot and you're ready. But there is one MUST TO DO! Search voodoo sound or voodoo control and download it. It brings you the max advantage of the hardware in your sgs.

I've downloaded voodoo few weeks ago and I've got 0 broblems and it boosted my phone. First it took 5 to 10 min reboot now it takes about 1min or less. Sd-card check takes aprox 10sec and my card is full of ****

[Q] lag fix issue

I have rooted my phone and downloaded the OCLF. When I try to run it, it says that I already have a lag fix installed. I have not ever loaded one before and I am getting Q-scores in the 810 range. Can anyone help?
the O in OLCF should stand for OLD...
+2 oclf is old stuff. Get you some ext4
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Is the best way to get ext4 to install Voodoo? Looks like the one click lag fix is unsupported.
What is the best way to ext4 without having to flash a new ROM?
Just flash a kernal that has voodoo on it and that is compatible with your current rom.

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 It's outdated, with very ugly install scripts, a plague to remove and nightmare to fix with a post flash to retrieve data (if you don't dare lost data it's ok).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.

no oclf was abandoned before he left xda he built another better lagfix after oclf ( i think it is called z4mod)

Got Root. now what?

Hi I was just wondering if you guys knew some cool stuff to do with a rooted phone. Is it possible to theme a stock ROM? Also what's the deal with overclocking and I/O scheduling? Thanks in advance
Sent from my SGH-I896 using XDA App
Yes you can theme a stock rom. And overclocking can only happen with a kernel that is ready to support it.
Keep reading, just make sure you build numbers match

So after I root my wifes captivate with super one click, I can install current nightly with google add on through Rom manager? She had an HTC aria running current nightly and I had to do it always through CWM. Which is not a problem. its because ROM manager didn't work with HTC arias. A little buggy here and there.But I heard its allot easier through ROM manager. But is it safe? Thxs guys.

rom manager is terrible on the galaxy s phones
Thanks. good to know. I'll be doing it from CWM then.
i am not knocking koush and all those involved with ROM manager. i bought the premium version for my other phones, and i love it, but i have to blame samsung and their method of recovery. rom manager just doesnt play well with galaxy s phones. it 'sort of' works once you have CM7 installed. again, its not rom managers fault, its the crappy recovery we have to deal with.
What would be the easiest way to theme a stock ROM? Things like notification pulldown, status bar, battery icons, lockscreen, etc.

find and read the million already written tutorials.read the new user guide.

oh and to your original question....
why in hell would you root if you dont know what to do with root?
that kind of methodology will end up giving you a 400$ paperweight.

ANY MODERATOR will tell you XDA is NOT a place to spoon feed babies.it is a community development forum FOR DEVELOPING. it is NOT a "help me do this" fourm.
xda is not a place to "make your phone cool" it is a place of learning and developing.
I rooted for several reasons. I just asked to see what other people were doing with their phones. Anyways, alright next time I'll just go post somewhere else where they hopefully don't mind "spoon feeding babies."

Personally, i stay away from ROM Manager, because CWM works better for me anyways, and i can guarantee that i know EXACTLY whats going on while its flashing...plus ROM Manager, like stated before, SUCKS on Galaxy S devices..

LG P990 - slower and slower.

Been using LG P990 ( Gingerbread ) for nearly a year. Recently I noticed the phone
seems to slow down. Just to open the Message folder or Phone dialer
it takes 20 seconds.
I wonder if a hard reset is needed from time to time for Android phones.
Or it it due to too many applications ( over 100 ) being installed on the
device ?
I used Anti Virus scan, Memory boost and other tools to clean up the
memory. But of no use.
Appreciate any suggestions any of you may have.
Thanks
You don't need to hard reset, just find out what apps are messing up or using a lot of RAM. RAM is the key. Have at least 100mb free and phone is fast.
I had this problem. Used a ram optimiser then eventually had to hard reset as all interal memory used up. Works like a harm now and gps also working. At same time i upgraded battery to a gold one. Phones like this are not built to last... the solid state memory itself wears out..
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
Try Custom ROM.. usually has better memory management. or maybe supercharger will help
Ninjas are creeping into your room at night and underclocking it 200mhz at a time.
After 5 minutes of flashing Stock rom my 2x was already like a slow motioned grandparent, so I strongly suggest you a new rom.

Which version of the stock rom are you on? From what I heard v20Q is pretty slick.

I have used all sorts of RAM optimizers, memory boosters etc..still the result is only tentative. After a while some of the programs start by themselves and run in the background gobbling memory. I do wish there is some tangible solution to this problem as I am sure many others are also facing the same problem of slow response and low memory reserves.
Yeah I'm on CM7 Nightly and my gf is on stock galaxy s 2 and her phone is amzing quick and no lags or nothing.
My phone is meant to be souped up and it's really poor now :-(
Search for V6 Supercharger it really optimizes your memory usage.. If not helps then do a clean install of a more stabile rom.

Can't find V6 Anywhere in market?
because its not on the market. because its not an app.
you need to download terminal emulator (or script manager) from the market, then look up the v6 script here on xda (we have a port of it in o2x dev section somewhere) and just follow the instructions.

Search for zeppelinrox's thread here in XDA, download its latest version (PDF format), run script manager, choose the downloaded PDF file, run as root (skull icon), and follow the instructions. One of the most, if not the most important tweak released for android imo.

I have stock V20Q with a Flix123 performance pack, no custom kernel no custom rom, and am very stisfied (smooth, efficient, no bugs).
I tested all the roms available in XDA dev (CM7, CM9 and custom stock) but no one is stable and full functions like the 20Q one. If you start with these roms and have probles is better that you give up.
You may update your rom and baseband using LG Mobile in your country.
In order to have better efficiency, I also freezed in Titanium backup some unused system applications (kit auto, google talk, f-secure antivirus, Email, backup, LG PC suite); no antivirus installed, installed only the used applications and not the nice to have ones, no application killer (android take care of freeing ram).
Ok I found it and followed instructions but got an AWK error message!
What do I do now?
Ta
Do you have Busybox installed? Did you run it as root? Cant think of other problems.. That's all you need.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
Yeah i did and do.
Says can't determin the busybox version!
Reinstall Busybox, or try a different version of V6.. That's all I can think of. But if your phone is really messed up then I'd consider reinstalling it first. With a Titanium backup it would only take an hour. Still better than suffering from this.

flash a new rom. wipe the phone completely. its "healthy" to do so time from time imo

Hi,
First of all if your phone is rooted , try "greenify" , you can find it in the playstore . it will increase your games speed .
Try also to install a costume ROM (modified system) . try to choose a ROM for gaming . if you use an external SD card remove it , it make the device lagging ....
And remember to clear ram before run any game.
That's it

alaataj14 your adivice are messy and wrong so if you don't know what you're talking about please do not reply.
These are all the steps I think can make the Galaxy Ace a fairly good gaming device
1° step: Install a custom ROM that allows you to get better performance (CM 7.2 is perfect)
2° step: Install script (like FlyOn mod) to increase overall performance of the system
3° step: buy a class 10 sd card so the access to game data is superfast and reduce lag
4° step: use Seeder to reduce lag and Greenfy (works only on Android 4.0+) to freez all the apps running in background using ram and cpu
5° step (OPTIONAL): do some overclock to get a bit more performance out of your device (must be at least 100mhz to see a strong difference)
6° step (OPTIONAL): make a little partition (128/256 mb) for swapping with a low priority (30 is perfect) so if some android core process are running in back ground can be stored of that partition increasing the ram availability.
That's all
OK so i see a true gamer here
Fly on mod, Overglock just 928...
No money for SD card...
But i looking for the other steps, thank you very much bro
And i dont think that the PAC Rom is good anymore cause its lagging...u know? So thanks a lot

For gamming you should use CM7 with a custom kernel, maybe Firekernel with OC for better performance. cheers

Seeder is already in the Fly On Mod script but must be enabled. Olso the user have a pair of sharp eyes so he can read trough the info about the script before using it.
