[Q] Hit the 5 month mark, should I finally root and lagfix?

I have noticed that when I click a button, I usually have to wait from 1-2 seconds before I get a response. Would lagfix take care of this? I'm running stock Froyo.

As many have stated all the lagfix does is help fix the very slow rts file system, it most likely would not help in your case.
Best thing to do is delete unused apps, and reboot the phone every day or to(seems to help mine out, cant guarantee results)
Also if you havent needed root in 5 months you probably don't need it

Unless you want to use opitimised roms, I dont see why you would need to root. Check your memory usage delete unused apps and reboot the phone ever once in a while.

My honest opinion, no reason to have an android phone if you are not using roms

Gonna have to agree with mcord here. had to go back to stock froyo for about 5 hours (didnt have all my tool to get back my 2.3.4 ROM) and it was horrible.
you might not be up for it but i really recommend flashing a Froyo Custom ROM from one of the xda DEVs. you'll love your phone and be amazed that it can be so much smoother and responsive.

First thing I did after i rooted was flashed a new kernel to overclock. Performance increased but battery life was poor. Then my first rom was cm7..been hooked since..tried miui once then went back to cm7.

This is what lagfix can do for your phone.
Im using stock mosaic V 2.3.4 rom with no overclock.

Providing arbitrary benchmarks does not seem like an actual reason to employ a lag fix.

No a Benchmark score is not the best example to lag fix your phone ,but the more power you get, plus better battery life and, better perrformance are great reasons to lag fix your phone. I just posted the quadrant score so kb0npw can see the increase performance from normal rfs file system to ext4(lag fix).

I dont think he thought it meant everything, he was giving a simple before and after which showed some improvement. Quadrant can actually be pretty useful when trying to gauge what effects certain changes have on your phone, say you score a 1900 before you change 'x' and then 2200 after that change, then you know its increased performance somewhat and youre moving in the right direction. How much it has increased your performance is debatable, however. My point is quadrant can be a useful tool when making changes on your phone if you take it with a grain of salt.
EDIT: To answer op's question, Read up on some custom roms and flash one, the difference is phenomenal and you'll wonder how you went 5 months without them. If you have any other questions feel free to pm me and I'll see what help I can be

Faster gb rom...please

I am currently using cm7 and I an not happy with its performance. Its gets hot after ten minutes internet usage and then fc's browsers and apps with browsers.

I think you would be very happy with the following rom:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/chevyno1/150739-rom-ss-5-4-gb-2-3-4-5-31-11-a.html

Try Liquid Gingerbread. Works great for me alongside Chevy's kernels.

I am using milestone and I think that link is for droid.

If you are having that problem then a factory reset(wipe data and cache) should help. Basically starting the OS from scratch will help it. I had the problem of it getting very hot when surfing for no reason as well. If you haven't, update your baseband. That will help out as well. It's the cellular radio that is heating up like that. A new baseband will help.

CM7 is good, you can decrease the cpu voltage and the highest speed to get lower temperature, use opera 11 instead of the build in browser.

As far as Milestone is concerned, Cronos Ginger is the fastest and the one that run more stuff than the others. Unfortunately, froyo still is way better, Cronos Ginger or not. Gingerbread is not for Milestone, at least until someone find a way of running custom kernels or doing some swap... And this is most likely not going to happen.

Thanks but I don't wanda do a factory reset. If I do it then I will switch to another rom not cm7 again. Can you tell me how to update that radio?

I know gb is not for milestone but there is a feeling of being up to date that I don't wanna miss thats why I am on gb even though it crashes a lot. I will try cronos surely. Thanks got reply.

the problem of gb is that it takes too much ram. if we would have an open bootloader it wouldnt be that worse, because we could optimize the memory management.

CyanogenMod or Overcome?

In your opinion, which is better, CyanogenMod or Overcome? Currently, I'm running Overcome 2.0, but have often noticed lag when I'm using it, though I'm not sure if this is a problem with the ROM.

Overcome 3.10 it looks good and is fast. I prefer touchwiz to cyanogenmod because of task manager and other samsung apps.
If you want speed go for cyanogenmod, if you want more functionality go for overcome.

No, because cyanogenmod has all bloatware removed so it is faster.

cm7 is fast but missing optimize code for tab , your music player drain 3time more than stock kernel. most video codec need software decoder. These are stopper if you use them frequency.
but things i love in cm7 is theme , i love white notification bar which cannot find in other roms.
you also can redesign auto brightness level to work as it should to be.

I like the cm7 it has alot of customizable stuff ex. The built in theme chooser... I have had cm7 on both mine n my girls phone for a while no problems im waiting for the honeycomb release coming up that should be great when it finished as well

I agree with you, performance are not calculated by numbers of bloatware. Quadrant checks how fast your tab performs when doing integer, float, etc calculations, and also io checks (read, write database), 2D graphics and 3D.
check out my post about this.
if you look for speed, true open source softwares, get cm7
If you look for a balance between battery life and performance and also some stock softwares, get Overcome (if ur ok with ads blocked), the flashing knowledge is a bonus as well (thanks to thepitbull with his extensive howto).
If what you need only undervolt, add koxudaxi kernel to your stock rom.

Quadrant tests kernel, hardware and software. You may have removed bloatware but touchwiz is still there right.

[Q] How fast is SGT in comparison to other gadgets?

Hi guys, I am considering buying a tab atm but want to know how fast it is with good MIUI and stock roms. The tabs I saw on display were extremely slow..
If anybody could give me a comparison to other phones, ill be thankful
Cheers!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Yeah, most of the Custom ROMs for the Galaxy Tab (Overcome as well as MIUI and CM7) do make the Tab run heaps faster. The single-core CPU will be noticeably slower than some of the newer dual-core hardware as apps continue to get more advanced, so the choice is yours. Still, I can attest that for the majority of use, my Tab running Overcome is more than speedy enough.

It is not fair to compare the original galaxy tab with the latest tabs available. And I should say it is really slow and sometimes force closes on the latest apps optimized for the latest tabs.
Remember it is more than 1 year old, and for today's technology is considered obsolete.
I would also like to add that despite of being old it is the only tablet that has complete phone functions integrated.

Is the speed comparable to a SGS?

As far as I know ROM, RAM, CPU & GPU is concerned, it essentially is an SGS.

[Q] Kernel for exhibit 4g at 1.8ghz?

hey guys i herd there is a kernel for this phone that makes the phone overlock to 1.8ghz i cant find it can anyone link the thread to me if there even is one thanks!

They were before, but it is unstable and it fried CPU's so the devs dialed them down

Well thank you good sir!

I am pretty sure you can still download some 1.8 clockable kernels, just not for 4.2.2

Why would anyone want that? It'd be better just to go ahead and run over the phone with a bus. There's a reason the OC kernels got dialed back by devs. BTW it doesn't make the phone that much faster either. If you need 1.8 another phone is the way to go.

Hey i definitely agree... my phone would bootloop if i went above 1631 mhz haha. Hey but i see your using nos. Whats your personal opinion on it, especially considering battery life?

It strictly helps with lag IMO. I just like how my apps run smoothly and I can run multiple apps without the phone crashing & rebooting. Far as battery there is no app or tweaks that will help if you use 4.2. In fact I got rid of my battery apps as they all just eat memory and do things any user with common sense can do.

so did you determine that v6 supercharger is not necessary for our phones if using the latest version of NOS? i only ask because in your sig you used to have v6, but now it's just baked bean with nos.

Thanks ill try that. But by battery life, i meant like does nos make it even worse? Or does it not affect battery life at all? And i have found greenify and juice defender to help A LOT for saving battery.

Greenify is OK but your main battery culprit is Gnow/Maps. Technically Greenify is supposed to be able to hibernate Maps but that is useless as Gnow needs it quite a bit so it gets awaken a lot. I love Gnow and choose to live with that as I use mass transit and those features are needed. However if you don't, then disable Maps and that will increase your battery somewhat.
Far as Juice Defender and the like, they are a joke IMHO. I used Juice Defender for over a year (they haven't updated the app on over a year either) and just like a lot of them you only save battery if you let it disable data and Wifi when not in use. I don't really care for that and can turn those on and off at will myself. Trust me you will see these battery apps are all smoke & mirrors.
Far as NOS consumption of battery, seems to have no effect one way or another.
