[Q] On Lag. Why on Galaxy S but not Epic?

Hello
My question is where is the difference between the Epic 4G and the Galaxy S?
I mean, why is it that the Galaxy suffers from lag issues and needs lagfixes etc, while the Epic is (afaik) not coping with such issues?
Is it the hardware? read somewhere someone mentioned that the nand memory (prolly wrong name/misspelled) differs on the Epic and that it doesn't suffer of the same issue. While others mentioned that the Epic uses Touchwiz 2.5 instead of 3.0 due to keyboard compatability (landscape mode)
If anyone knows the answer would be appreciated, Thanks in advance. I've tried searching a bit but the existing threads where the subject arises don't have the definite answer. (Or I sucked at searching properly and if that's the case please close this hehe...)

I think its due to it not using onenand/movinand. Thats why we have 8/16gigs internal ram while they have 2gigs which all droid devices have as i recall (thats why we loose 2 gigs from our 8/16gig) also i think due to having only 2gigs samsung choosed faster nand tech which maybe same price as our bigger but slower nand. Sadly our nand is slow and prone to file curruption. Since they dont have the extra ram they dont need a hack like ours which uses rfs. Well thats my understanding about it. Samsung used a hack to give us extra ram but i dont think it was smart as you notice no other phone has extra internal memory like ours but the standard mandated 2gigs thats why "app 2 sd" is a huge deal for everyone but us

Also if the epic does have internal mem as big as ours it was due to samsung admitting to the faults and fixing it in their flagship bug fixed phone.

I see, that does clarify it, and although I loved going to the Galaxy from a Desire and not having to remove apps all the time, the lag issues did counter that some.
Thanks for the info.

[Q] Samsung galaxy i9010

Hi guys..
Wonder if anyone could help. I'm fairly new to the rooting of phones
And the cynagenmod. I've been reading a lot on the Samsung galaxy s i9000 phones.
I have the the Samsung galaxy i9010 or the giorgio Armani model in the uk.
Its looks exactly like the captivate just rebranded. Does anyone know if its possible
To root or even install the cynagenmod? Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Yes.
Welcome to the forum! Congratulations on your new phone.
Yes it is possible to root and yes it is possible to install cyanogenmod. The i9010 is more or less the same as the captivate, there are few differences. As I understand it, the hardware is the same, but the software is different, however I admit the possibility that I'm wrong. Here are some links that should help you out:

The ROM he is uploading is based on the i9010, so the methodology should work. That is to say: As he is a member of the build team he should know what he's doing.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Flashing_CyanogenMod
Cyanogenmod's wiki and how-to, there is a video on youtube, but it's out of date, they have a new method now

Super one click thread, several have confirmed that it works to root i9010, I recommend downloading this instead of the one he points out in the video...come to think of it, it might be the same one. Take no chances though, use this one, it will work.
There are more threads out there about it though, so try using the search tool at the top of the page.
On a personal level, I've found that CM7 is a bit glitchy, if I may make a suggestion, try Mosaic III, it's a GB rom as well, but it works better with the SGS hardware. Good luck and happy hunting. Also, have you watched the XDA introduction video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA

[Q] Noob Question:OCLF

ive got P1000 froyo
ive been reading posts & articles about galaxy tab
and ive heard about the so called "one click lag fix"
it caught my attention cauz, i think the drop down widget of mine seems i little bit laggy.. so i want to try it,
matter is.. ive red most of the forum topics but seemingly cant find this topic..
is OCLF applicable in this device?
if yes, where to download.. kindly pinpoint links and manuals for it?
sry very noob.. 5day SGT user.. thankx more power.

Bumping msg... thanks

OCLF is for galaxy s. And in my opinion it was useless I didn't see that much of a difference with or without it, when I had a galaxy s, except in quadrant test (I don't trust quadrant). But benchmark is not everything, it's the user's experience that counts. Of course some may say otherwise.
For the galaxy tab : upgrade to gingerbread, be it stock or custom like overcome rom, you'll see a big leap in performance. Especially when surfing the web.
Hope that helps.

Oclf is made by RyanZA and is available from market for about $2-3. It works by replacing the laggy stock rfs file system on galaxy s phones with more efficient ext2 file system. The one click refers to the fact that you can enable/disable with one click. Look up oclf on market (internet ver) then google voodoo lagfix for more info.
sent from my XDA phone - its more than a continuum

I personally have a galaxy s continuum and it had terrible lag imo so I tried couple diff methods/tweaks but I got best results (again in my own opinion) by using oclf with v6 supercharger script (google it). No benchmark test just my user experience.....

oh i see, so its not really a big help for my galaxy tab.. i guess ill try to read more about goin to GB, but it'l take a long time..
please kindly post links that might help me understand goin to GB safely.. thank you for reply's...

[Q] Which phone to buy? 9000 or 9001?

Hello to everyone, I've recently started searching to buy a new phone and I saw Galaxy S and Galaxy S Plus. I saw that GS+ is 40% faster than the original one but I also heard that the GS consumes less RAM and that the GS+ lags a lot more.
Also, I saw that 9000 has a wider community and support and that it even has more payable games from gameloft than the 9001!
And so, I'm a bit confused, that's why I'm asking for advice. Thanks a lot in advance!

hi,
it really depends on whether we get ics ported for sgs+ or not.
if you just compare the hardware of both sgs+ will easily win, but the community is much bigger for sgs (we neither have any finished cm7 port nor ics, but both are maybe coming).

Thanks for your answer! I also happened to see people say that GS+ lags more than the original GS (both on GB) and people saying that it looks like samsung doesn't give much support to it, unlike the GS. That's what has been making me wonder.

If you are not planning to upgrade from stock rom(wich I dont advise) you should go with the SGS+.
Like annqx said there is a much better communitx for SGS, there are a lot more roms for it.

Sorry for my late reply, I had internet issues the whole week, anyway, I see, maybe then I'm going for the SGS+, since it's newer, I believe it will get more popular in the future. Thanks a lot for your answers!

Not sure it will get that much more popular. Remember galaxy s was top end phone at one point. Now replaced by s2, and soon s3. Just my opinion but could be wrong.

Well having used both phones and still using S version i would personaly say S as you already know about modding obviously being part of this community .
S+ is better on paper and thats what it only is , unless some drastic change in modding com and suddenly many devs appear for S+...
S with CM7/9 is just to good of phone ...

I'm satisfied with my S Plus. In my opinion it is a good fast phone
And not to forget, GPS is better in the S Plus, many people had problems on that with the SGS.

I9000 is better than I9001 because it have better dev support, better gpu and cpu .

[Q] S3 Mini overclock

Hi, in some few days i will recive s3 mini, i was just thinking if it can be overclocked, i dont know why it cannot be, is a phone like from 2 years ago, and im so sad cause some people tell me that is a bad processor, and it has low performance, so i search overclocked kernels, but is no one yet, some people say that is cause its overclocked already, and said that is the same processor from the ace 2, but i think is lie cause ace 2 is u8500 an s3 mini is u8420, why it cannot be overclocked?, i saw a post here that someone tried to compile one but he closes the project cause some comments, he left there the basic things for compile the kernel, i wannna try but i dont know anything about development in android, i really apreciate if someone is encouraged and maybe continue with this project, i left here the post :
1. link suppostly 1.2ghz: http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/159798-kernelstopé-overclock-du-cpu-à-12ghz/
2 link from xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2367970
maybe if you teach me i can do it, but i really really thank you if some dev can do this.
Bye, have a nice day
