LagFix Doesn't work? Can't Flash - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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?

[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!

Size of OCLF EXT2 Partition?

Hi,
What would you recommend setting the size of the EXT2 partition in OCLF to? Just got Cog 2.2 running, so... yeah... thanks!
hmm.... I set mine as high as it can go, but then again, I don't have many apps. I kinda have this question myself.. anybody have ideas?
I set it to max also, ~1500mb. I did default 850 or so last time and got low space warnings after restoring my titanium backup
Its weird because I haven't even been able to get it to work... I keep getting errors trying oclf at the default setting. Just out of curiosity, does this need to be installed right after a fresh flash, or does it matter if all my apps are installed already?

It shouldn't matter. I installed it after I had installed my apps and it worked fine.
i just set 1 GB for EXT2
i tried it this morning and it borked the hell outta my phone. hade to start all over again. one of these days ill learn not to do this stuff until i have time to fix it if something goes wrong
ive read somewhere that it may not work if you have apps installed on your sd card, but it was never confirmed. for me, the lagfix did not work when i installed 2.2, rooted manually, etc. but when i did a fresh install, cog 2.2, and lagfixed before restoring my apps, it went fine
Hi..
Isn't there chances of data corruption with ext2?

I used default setting to enable OCLF 2.1+ and it worked well first day. Today, I couldn't open email with force closes. I disabled it and now email works fine. So there may be some issue here with Cog 2.2 beta - Froyo.

I confirm that. OCLF kept failing on my cell until i started with a fresh install and applied the fix before restoring apps.
In the end I removed it, is not perfectly stable and the phone is already very snappy without it. I'll wait for Voodoo

You are rooted right? The OCLF from the market won't work without root.
Alright guys one more time
RyanZa's lagfix is really really well built and he put a ridiculous amount of checks into it. It will not work when you have restored with TIBU because undoubtedly some of the apps you installed are set to default install on your sd card. That being said you really cant do the lagfix with them installed because they are actually not on a separate sdcard, just a partition of your sd card that your OS is on as well. That means the OCLF cant unmount the card to copy **** off of it and hence the lagfix will fail with a loop0 error. So if you want to do the lagfix and have all you crap on your phone and dont want to start again, go into your applications menu, tap manage, and the sdcard and then delete all your apps off of it that are there(prob only a few if you havent moved more yourself). After you've deleted those apps reboot phone, run OCLF and then get TIBU to restore missing apps.
DONE AND DONE!
P.S. i am that guy you heard it from......i have posted it like 4 times i think.
P.P.S forgive me if i am coming off short, i am in school and pulled an all nighter studying for tests! Dont mean to be

It also won't work just because you restored with TiB. If you did a batch backup and had EVERYTHING restored, well that's just really stupid of you. That restore deleted the newer 2.2 services and files with your old 2.1 services and files. If you then proceed to install the OCLF, you're going to get errors and FC's.
You must start off with a freshly installed, rooted JI6 before you go about installing the lagfix. That way you don't have to worry about where any of your applications get installed to, and there's less data for the OCLF to move around coincidentally speeding up the entire process.
I ran OCLF after using the batch restore of my apps with TBu and everything went just fine for me. I guess it was just luck of the draw our something.
I guess so. But so far everyone that's asked me for help has done the batch restore with the old services+files and/or hasn't rooted their device yet.
I did 1023mb (close enough to 1gb) and get around 1800 quadrant scores.
To me it sounds reasonable.

[Q] I9000M and Voodoo or OCLF lag fix

I was reading forums about lag fix.
I wanna install one but it seems like possibility of bricking phone after installing lag fix is higher in I9000M (Bell model) than any other galaxy s models.
Is there reason for it? Can anyone share their experiences?
Also, I read somewhere that JH2 fixes the lag. Is that true?
I was doing benchmark but never got past 950 with quadrant....
I had no problem with OCLF until I did an upgrade of th app trought android market. Then OCLF didn't recognise that I had a lag fix install and I tried the option to repair the fix and it made my phone lag like hell. Then I tried to flash and repartition with odin to wipe this but I surelly made something wrong cause it bricked the phone. I had to buy another one used over kijiji.
Been using OCLF since then and I didn't had any other problem. I even uninstall it completly a few hours ago cause i want to try froyo. I think it's safe but don't try the repair option ever and try to install and uninstall the fix with the same version of the OCLF to avoid recognition problem.

Sorry i didnt really get how you bricked yours. So were you upgrading any app with lag fix? Do you mean you shouldnt upgrade any app after you installed lag fix? So to upgrade, i should uninstall any app completely then re-install new version?
Thats one downside....
I'm not sure how I bricked my phone but it's related to the re-partition option in odin and me flashing a froyo firmware. I did this with XXJPH and it was after the problem with OCLF.
What I'm sure of, is that OCLF (the app from the market) didn't recognise that my phone had a lagfix and didn't allow me to un-lag fix it. So I tried the option to repair the ext2 tools and it failed. After that the phone was really lagy and a lot of forced close happened. That why I wanted to repartition with an odin flash.
The probleme is that I tried with the only firmware (at the moment) that requires to never use this option. I should have tried to go back to UGJH2.
For OCLF i'm gonna try something. I have an update showing in the market so i'm going to install the lag fix whit my application and then I'll do the update to see if it can still see the lagfix. Maybe it was my fault in the first place. You'll have feedback in 5 min.
Ok I confirm that everything is working fine. See screenshot. I don't know what was the problem I had but it seems to work fine and there is no problem to recognise the lagfix once updated.
Hi, my SGS is now running Froyo, and all apps and settings are restored. I thought that I should reinstall OCLF 2 again to maybe get some more juice from the file system, and after installing from Market and rooting the device everything seemed fine. But during installation of the actual Lagfix, I noticed an error during the "dd" command (unable to mount device, device busy, or something like that). I was offered to send the log to the developers which I did. I tried to run it again, but get the same error message. But this time the device was hanging hard and nothing I did made the error screen go away. So I removed the battery and restarted the phone. Now when I enter the OCLF app, I can only select the "Unroot device". Both "One click lagfix" and "Undo one click lagfix" are red and not selectable.
If I look (with Linda filemanager) in the root filesystem, there are two zero length files, /dbdata and /data, both created at the time that I tried to apply the lagfix. Do I dare to remove these to and see if they are causing the deadlock?

Try removing your SD card, and then run the OCLF
If OCLF can't remove the lagfix you'll have to flash a firmware with Odin and repartition you'r internal sdcard at the same time. Just be carefull and chose a firmware that you can use to option to repartition with. Usualy all the 2.1 firmware are compatible with this option.
Then flash back with your desired froyo firmware and try CF root before you start OCLF. OCLF should not be use to root 2.2 device maybe your problem was caused by this but I doubt it.
I used OCLF with XXJPM without any problem but I flashed JPM over a clean 2.1 firmware (fresh flash with repartition option and no apps install).
Did not help. Do/Undo both still red.
I will first find a tool to backup all settings and apps before trying a re-flash. The question now is - is it worth to go through all this just to get OCLF up and running.

Definitely!! Try Titanium Backup. It can backup all your apps and data attached. Moreover it'll be able to re-install them without prompting you for every apps. You just start the backup before the flashing and start the restore after and let it go by itself. But be carefull to backup only user apps if you go from 2.1 to 2.2 or vice versa as it's gonna cause a lot of force close if you try to backup and restore system apps that are not right for your android version.
I'm running with OCLF and I can assure you that you won't regret. No more black screen before you launch an app. Installation and or uninstallation are almost instant so your update are done faster over the market.

[Q] Can not install my fav game after froyo update on Captivate

I have a At&t captivate. I rooted it on the 2.1 firmware and side loaded backbreaker game on the device with success. When fooling around with different roms, I totally crashed my phone when I tried to do a recovery with rom manager.
As a fix I did froyo update/flash with Odin and did super one click root for froyo on it. The phone works great and I can move all my old games/apps back except the backbreaker game. it either says i don't have enough memory on the device, which is not true or the phone reboots totally during installation.
Anybody has I clue what is causing this? I have the feeling it’s maybe got the do because there is still some old data left from other firmware’s/roms. But it could also be that I got no clue what I am talking about
Thanks in advance,
You should try make back ups of all of your apps, do a master clear and then reinstall Froyo, root etc. and then restore the apps and see if it works
Some games require a device id, which is wiped when you flash any of the leaked 2.2 roms. I haven't experienced this but others have noted it. If you go back to 2.1 it well repopulate your id. There is an app to pull up your device id and you can enter it manually if you go back to 2.2, but I can't remember the name of the app. Search it in the dev forum.

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!!!
