[Q] Abnormally Slow Galaxy S Captivate - Factory Reset Doesn't Help

Hi, first of all, I am new to Android devices.
I am having a problem with my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S Captivate. Games and apps seems to be running slower than normal after updating to Gingerbread 2.3.5. I have rooted my phone with Odin3 v 1.85, but it's been running slow even before the root. (In fact, I rooted the phone so I could install a lagfix, but I can't find one for Captivate I897 running on 2.3.5).
Anyway, I don't see the reason for games and apps to be running slow because I've heard that the Captivate has a pretty good GPU. Also, it's not like I've overstocked my phone's storage; I only have a few apps.
I've also made a short video explaining my problem further. Just search "slow captivate" on youtube. I should be the first video: "Really Slow Samsung Galaxy S Captivate - Fix?"
I've searched everywhere for a fix, but I can't find anything, so I came here. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this, or at least reduce the lag?
Thanks in advance,

I was seeing my phone work slower and slower on 2.3.6, I suspected that the developers of the apps I used were starting to develop for ICS and that maybe it was different enough that the updates were causing the apps to misbehave on older versions. I flashed to ICS just to see... and it was a great move, ICS on the captivate flies!!! I used SlimICS, I think it is the right way to go for Galaxy S phones...

Have you run any tools to see what is sucking up your phone's resources?

First of all, lagfix isn't really used anymore. Also, I would say to get rid of those task killing apps. They don't help and only add to your problems. A lot of the symptoms you encountered are pretty common, and I was expecting something much worse. You seem to be running a different kernel that allows overclock; which is it?
If all else fails, try ICS

Hey
I tried to upgrade to ICS with Team ICSSGS [Android 4.0.3]. I followed a step by step tutorial using CWM to load "ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_Captivate.zip" and installation seems to go well. But after I try to reboot my phone, the AT&T logo comes up, then the "Google" logo comes up, but it just stays stuck at the Google logo forever. ICS never starts up. I've tried removing the battery and then going back into CWM and restarting the process but the same thing keeps happening. What should I do?

You flashed it twice, correct? Try wiping your data.

Yeah, I've flashed it a few times. Each time, before I install it, I clear data/factory reset, clear cache, and davlik cache, but it's still just getting stuck at the "Google" boot screen. It's weird because every time, CWM says it installs successfully. I'm starting to think that the .zip I downloaded isn't so good...
Do you know of a good, stable version of ICS I could use instead? Maybe even the same one you're using?
Thanks

I gave up on ICS... I could not get it to work for the life of me and it was getting me extremely frustrated. I almost bricked my phone (I think).
Maybe I'll try it again if someone could link me to a detailed step-by-step tutorial to upgrading to ICS. I'm very new to the way android works and a lot of the tutorials are just plain confusing to me...
I ended up reverting back to GB 2.3.4.
Thanks for helping me out though.

Try reading some stickies, there are some great guides. There's also one in my sig.

GUIDE TO INSTALL ICS, my way at least
Hey if you're looking for a good guide to putting ICS on your captivate I can help, The first time i tried ICS i messed things up and angrily decided that i wouldn't try it again and reverted back to 2.3.5, after carefully trying ICS again i love it so much. I won't ever go back to android 2.whatever.
I used CM9 ICS and have no issues or bugs. It's possible there are other better ICS roms but i prefer this one since i know for a fact that it works great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363760
You'll need to download CM9 v17 and a gapps package on your SD card.
trust me, ICS is worth it, it's much better than 2.3
if you have titanium backup backup your user apps (NOT SYSTEM APPS/SYSTEM DATA)
Rom installation:
First things first always do a nandroid backup so you can go back easier, if necessary.
once thats done go to CWM recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. once that's done install the CM9 .zip package for the rom.
IT WILL STOP HALFWAY THROUGH AND REBOOT ITSELF, as this is the new kernel being installed. while it's still rebooting pull the battery and let it turn off, reboot straight into CWM recovery.
once this happens go back to install you CM9 .zip file again. it will finish all the installation after that. once it finishes the install you should definitely install the Gapps.zip. it will load up your google apps (market,gmail,youtube,etc and your google account sync) if you don't load the Gapps you will not have very much functionality to your captivate.
once you have your google apps installed you should be ready to fly with a fast responsive captivate. Hope this helps, it took a few trial and error runs before i figured it out.
If you used titanium backup to backup your apps you can restore APPS ONLY!!! don't restore any system data/system apps!!!! it's very important that you don't do that.
that should be it. enjoy your ICS, it's much better than android 2.blah

Fastness: CM7
Sexyness: CM9
That's the answer to everything.

I have run aokp (my current) and doc's master. Both have been great!
I'm far from an Android guru but if you follow the directions, you will be ok. Both also have relatively supportive forums if you get in a jam.

[Q] Recovering from rom ics leak

Current phone information should be attached. Short form is, I'm using the Gummi 1.2.0 rom, put onto my phone after using safestrap (and following the instructions to make a backup before doing so). Safesystem is enabled.
Two backups: located on my external SD card
nonsafe-2012-05-26.07.52.54/
safe-2012-05-27.08.06.28/
Safestrap recovery v1.09 (afraid to update to 2.0 without breaking more stuff)
What I'm looking to do is return my phone to working stock, which I believe was Gingerbread 2.3.6. That said, every time I've touched this thing trying to go back, I've black screened it. I don't live in an area with 4g (screw the mountains, and their 1x service), so any attempts to connect to the 4g network for any part of the process will require me driving into Pennsylvania, 30 minutes away. I've heard before that you can't return from the ICS leak to the Stock for the Droid 4, for various reasons (but i believe the important one was it was a later firmware and it isn't a process designed to go backwards)
I'd like to know if thats still the case currently, or if something has changed. I'm getting shaky wifi/data/cell reception up here, and its flawless back on stock. Hell, I've got an old razor as an emergency phone that's flawless up here. Next time I'll do more research for this stuff I was a proud OG droid owner, and ran cyanogenmod on it before the vid card fried one evening. Thought the droid 4 would be a good deal, but I've had nothing but trouble with the roms on it.
All that said, I can simply smash and return this droid if its the only way to get a stock one back, but I don't like destroying useful and good technology when I can help it. Besides, I like fixing the problems I create.
Thanks for the help XDA, either way.

Did you flash the leak ICS from Motorola or did you use Safestrap and flash Gummy ICS?
If you flashed the leaked ICS, there is no going back. You will need to find get the files to flash the partial .219 system back so you can run the .206 leak update again.
If you just used safestrap to flash Gummy 1.2.0 then you can use the .219 flash files to completely re-do your phone.
Currently there are no ROMs to flash if you are on the leak, Hashcode just released his Safestrap 2.0 to do so but still nothing to flash. All the current ICS ROM builds are for the stock phone running the Gingerbread Kernel.

Sorry about the delay, was off camping. I rooted the phone first on gingerbread, then eventually installed safestrap and flashed the gummi rom. Can you (or someone else) walk me through the steps for flashing the .219 files and then flashing the .206 files?

You should probably go up to .208, that's the latest leak. Make sure to use rootkeeper, and follow all the instructions. So far I haven't lost root, but be aware I'm stuck on .206 because I don't want to lose root....

First of all, it sounds to me like you've just flashed a ROM, not flashed the leak. If that is the case, you can just toggle the safe mode in safestrap to get back to stock. Safestrap lets you toggle between stock and the ROM. It is pretty awesome because you can play with the ROM and then go back to stock whenever you need to.
If you HAVE flashed the Motorola leak (as opposed to just a ROM) you are SOL.
If you haven't flashed the Motorola leak and just want to get back to factory conditions, you'll have to flash via RSDLite. That info you should be able to find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622256
Honestly I WOULD NOT flash the leak at this time. IMHO, it doesn't really offer enough to risk getting off the upgrade path forever, and losing the ability to flash back via RSDLite.

some help with updating my old sprint tab

Ive got an old sprint tab sitting around that id like to breathe some life into. Im fairly certain i rooted it back in the day because ive got superuser, but its running the stock Dj29 froyo software. The su binary is out of date though and it fails to update when I try within the app. I don't think I've got a custom recovery flashed, at least if it is its a version of the Samsung one. I never really did much with the tab because i never had the time to figure out what roms worked on which variant, but now I'd like to get ICS up and running, if not jb. Are there any aosp ports out there for the sprint tab? Thanks!

Both cm9 and aokp are aosp ics.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Yes, but can they be flashed to the sprint tab. At least initially I know cm couldn't be, has that changed?

yes they can.
Look for the p1c build, that is for cdma device.
The usual flashing process involve installing CWM recovery and I think you need CWM 5.X.
I am not familiar with the process because I have a GSM one.

[Q] tab 8.9 upgrade problem. Please advise.

I need a bit of urgent advice if possible. Having waited patiently for Samsung to release ICS for the P7310 which has never appeared in the UK, I'm trying to flash to JB (latest AOSP version) from the stock 3.2.
I've installed CWMOD 5.5.0.4 ok, and copied the update rom and gapps to the root of the tab. I've gone into CWMOD recover mode, wipe/reset and then selected the rom to install. It starts the install, then fails with the system error 7 message (seems to be fairly common). It obviously started the install but now I don't seem to be able to boot the tab into 3.2 anymore, it just sits at the boot logo and doesn't get any further. I'm happy to try another ROM (maybe CM10), but I need to transfer it to the device first, and ofcourse I can't do this within windows at the moment. Odin still runs and can talk to the tab, but I'm a bit lost at the moment.
I'm a bit new to all this, so could really do with some help.

Flash the stock Rom.with Odin. You can find it at sammobile.com. it'll bring you back to stock.and.you can start over again. You're soft bricked right now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using xda app-developers app

Cool. Thanks for that. I guess I just select the PDA option in Odin, and let it do its thing.
Any idea why this happens? I'd read a couple of threads about going from HC to ICS first, then to JB. Is this a requirement, or optional?

I'ver had similar problems finding a Rom that works on my i957. Never did find an ics that worked. I'm running jb from nrvate, but I think its specific to the i957. And, yes, flash just like you did the cm recovery.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using xda app-developers app

Really appreciate the replies. I've managed to get the tab back working under 3.2 (stock rom downloaded from SamFirmware), so that's a start. I still want to upgrade to JB if possible (or ICS if not). Am I likely to experience the same problem again? Is it worth going to ICS first? I've downloaded the stock US ICS rom, which i can flash using Odin. I can't see why this wouldn't work on a UK spec 8.9 wifi, but can anyone confirm if it does?
So, I'm back at square one, but really want to try and get this sorted.

Did you do a clean install when you tried to flash the jb Rom? I.e. factory reset, format/clear system and data. If not that probably is the problem. There should not be any benefit of flashing ics before jb. The one difference between the two is you most likely will have to flash a gapps (Google apps) package after the the jb flash. Not sure where you got the Rom, but the developer should have the gapp they recommend and instruction on how to do the flash. Every jb to Rom I've flashed has the gapps package flashed after the Rom and before rebooting.
I'd stick with a Rom specific for your device. I hard bricked my phone with the wrong Rom once. The US Rom probably does not have the correct radio for.you in the UK. I only use WiFi so don't care too much if I have the right radio or.not.

I've just tried again, and have hit the same problem, and have tried the AOSP rom and the CM10 rom this time. I did a wipe/factory reset beforehand, but the installer starts then just aborts with 'symlink: some symlinks failed' E:Error in /sdcard/<rom file name> (Status 7). Obviously the tab 8.9 doesn't have an sd card slot, but I thought the rom must be aware of this.
Where am I going wrong?

You might try to flash a different version of cwm I don't remember now how I found this link, but here is a link for Overcome_CWM_Recovery_v5.1.2.6_P73xx.tar
http://www.sendspace.com/file/507gjv

If reading that reply right, one specific stock rom does what's necessary, trouble is, that's a US stock rom, and I'm in the UK. Already had it confirmed that it wouldn't be good to install a US rom on a UK tab. Loads of people has flashed their tabs, so it can't be that difficult! I've just tried Overcome CwM v5.2.1.6 with the same AOSP and CM10 roms, but same error

Ok, silly question time, but does the tab need to be rooted to install these new roms successfully?

You don't need to be rooted, just the recovery installed. Not sure why you're having problems now other than I had a hell of a time getting a Rom installed too. I'd try a different Rom. I tried some yesterday and didn't get any of them to work well. At least you've learned how to recover from a soft brick. I've learned that lesson too, to many times!

Hi, dont know if this will help, but I have flashed the US ICS rom on my Swiss Tab 8.9, with no problems. There should be no issue with worrying about the wrong radio as stated previously, as the 7310 is the WIFI only model, so there should be no issue with 3G. The only thing which causes some issues is the screen flicker issue. If you flash the US gingerbread first, then the ICS, it seems to solve the issue. For mor info check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573548&page=50
Good luck!

Aaarrgggh! Frustrating, now I'm just getting 'hardware id not found' when I connect the tab to the PC!!! I can browse the device in Windows, but of course, Odin won't connect. How difficult can this really be!
I've already uninstalled and re-installed the Samsung USB drivers, tried a different USB port etc, but same result.
As it stands, the tab is working, but on that horrible v3.2.

I might be getting somewhere, but nothing's easy! I have moved everything over to a laptop we have, and have gone through the whole process again. I installed CwM ok using Odin, copied over the AOSP beta13 for the 7310, and this time when I installed the ZIP, it said completed ok. Good so far.
I then rebooted, and while I see the Samsung logo, the screen then goes black and stays that way. I've left it ages, but it doesn't seem to get anywhere. I can still reboot it and get into download/recovery, so that's ok. Am I doing anything wrong? I did the wipe/reset beforehand, so It's not obvious why this is not working.

Quick update. I can get ICS running (CM9 works), so that's good. It does look like any JB rom (AOSP/CM10) just cause a blank screen on reboot, which is wierd. I've re-downloaded the ROM's just in case, but no dice. Install completes ok, and gapps reports no problems.

I often don't get a boot animation, just the black screen. Every once in awhile the animation comes back. Seems totally random. I'm using nravates jb Rom on the i957. Other than that it runs great.

Planning to get back on OTA

So its been awhile since I flashed a ROM to my BIONIC. That was back before ICS was even released for the BIONIC. So I started looking at updating to one of the more stable ROMS that has way better performance that this stock one. Currently I have 6.7.232 on my phone and I would like advice on which ROMs are best for this device. I have looked into some such as Gameblur, Raging Bionic, and Icarus HD. Thus far I havent really decided on one but I have noticed that some of them are on Jelly Bean. I am not sure if I have to return to the OTA path to update to any of these. I also have Safestrap 3.11 installed. Any advice would be appreciated. thanks.

Any help out there?? Thanks.

Well Gameblur and Raging Bionic both require one to be on the 98.72.22 Moto 4.1.2 Jellybean update. Incarus HD however is ICS base and can be flashed with your current setup.
If you are destine to update your stock side I would first prep what you currently have on there right now. See this HERE for getting stuff ready.
I would backup anything on the internal storage before hand and make sure that you have a full battery.
You will find the proper FXZ files HERE. If you are on 6.7.2-223 update then use the one for 4.0.4. It would be easier to root again through the update process. After you have completed the restore processes and root through the HOB. Make sure you have VooDoo Root Keeper installed on your phone to back up Root and to disable Root. Then with a good Data connection you are going to take the update Via OTA. Once the update is complete and you are fully booted up. Use VooDoo to restore your Root and test using root explore or NoFrills CPU.

The link provided there has a post from the OP that states House of Bionic is discontinued and to use House of Moto. Should I do that?
Secondly I havent for sure decided which Rom I will be moving to. I feel that the interface I have been using is kinda laggy. I installed Next launcher to see if that made a difference and it was more responsive but still my system memory usage skyrockets after a couple hours and sometimes the only way to resolve it is to restart the device. Any recommendations as to which Rom I should move to?

You can try using the House of Moto stuff also depending on what you feel more comfortable on using. The HOM was desighned to have one interface for all Moto devices instead of each having its own individual setup. I would still use HOB for your purpose only because I don't know if he added in the script to root the device, which was made for ICS versions not JB hence the discontinued portion of it.

I have tested and played around with a lot of different ROMs and tweaks to find the one that I am ultimately satisfied with. Flying Jelly, well the name speaks for itself, Rage, and GameBlur (which I had minor help in) all work fine for there purpose.. One must pick and choose which one suits there purpose. So my suggestion would be to install SafeStrap 3.60, which is the latest updated one, and create a few slots and run each the same as you would Stock or any other firmware to measure which one suits your needs.....

In a previous post you wrote "If you are on 6.7.2-223 update then use the one for 4.0.4.". I went to the FXZ site and it shows that the 4.04 rom has version 6.7.223 on it already. I already have root. Why would I need to install the same version again and reinstall root to get on the OTA. I just want to make sure I understand this to avoid making mistakes. Thanks.

Then if you feel confedent that all will go well then just install Voodoo to backup and disable root. Take the OTA update and see if it will install. The most that will happen is that if it detects that something is missing from the current firmware you have the installation process will fail and reboot back into what you currently have. At that point you will have to FXZ your stock back to the way it was installed originally, root, then backup root and disable, then take the OTA. ICS is way easier to root then JB. I have kept Root before via OTA when I got it, so I know it Voodoo will keep the backup and install it..

I think I miscommunicated what my question was. The instructions say to install the FXZ for the 4.0.4 that has the same version of Android OS that is currently installed. the further instructions say to install the OTA from verizon but everytime I check for an update nothing shows up on my phone. Where else can I get the OTA?
In addition I want to know what I should do about safestrap. Should I remove it before installing the OTA or is it fine to leave as is when I go to install the OTA?

OK... If you cannot even get Big Red to send you the update. You can fxz the update, but at that point you will loose root, but have the option to keep your current data. Go see House of Moto or House of Bionic over at droidrazr.com
As far as Safestrap I would just uninstall recovery through the app the reboot so it clears out before the fxz process.

fyi I think he took House of Bionic down, didn't see a link. I can however attest that House of Moto worked perfectly fine. Flashed fresh .232 and VZW sent me the OTA (I tried voodoo rootkeeper before updating). I did lose root despite following all of the steps. To get it back your best bet is to boot up a live Ubuntu disc. I tried the VM that someone compiled but it kept failing.
PS: nobe1976, how the hell did you fit 3 ROMS on your phone? I can only fit one ROM (besides obviously stock). Wish we could install ROMs through safestrap to SD (internal or external).

fyi I think he took House of Bionic down, didn't see a link. I can however attest that House of Moto worked perfectly fine. Flashed fresh .232 and VZW sent me the OTA (I tried voodoo rootkeeper before updating). I did lose root despite following all of the steps. To get it back your best bet is to boot up a live Ubuntu disc. I tried the VM that someone compiled but it kept failing.
