Root One Click Lagfix. Wow.

[NZtechfreak]

Here is the reason you want to Root your Galaxy S. I was just starting to tire of the slow downs, even though none of them on their own were showstoppers, when I decided to give this a go.

My quandrant benchmark went from 844 to 2099, and even better than the amazing benchmarks is the actual increase in operating speed. Seriously flies now. So easy to apply this fix I can think of no reason to put it off any longer.

somewhere in that rather large thread (more towards the end) is an update.zip file someone has compiled to run at recovery as you would a custom rom, so, its very easy to do now.
edit: post 370 something i think from memory.. not going to read the whole thing again

 

[adambrooks015]

I got 2250 after this. Amazing speed from the phone its unbelievable.

 

[bobtodd]

Just done the same thing using the update.zip technique which now comes with superuser built in.

2125. The phone's like greased bloody lightning now. Amazing

so this fix really works in solving all the lagging issues? i just had a skim over the instructions... is there anything that could go seriously wrong if implemented incorrectly?

 

[Member213897]

OMG!!! Finally!!!
Got 2233 on the benchmark results!!!

 

[bobtodd]

Things could always go wrong, I suppose. Make sure you've got a backup and you know how to flash your phone should you need to. There are instructions on the thread at the top.

I can only speak from personal experience, of course, but following the instructions on post #417 in that thread worked perfectly for me.

My phone wasn't really all that bad - the occasional lag, which seemed no worse that what I'd previously experienced on my Blackberry and iPod touch. But following the lag fix it's a completely different experience.

this fix sounds amazing... im going to read into it properly before attempting it. Rooting the phone is compulsory in order to do this lag fix right? i didnt want to root, but if necessary then ill go for it

 

[bobtodd]

Yes, you need to root. However, if you use the new update.zip posted in the latter pages of that thread, the entire rooting process is done automatically. All you then have to do is run the script on your phone and you're done.

nice1 thanks a lot... when i get home ill read through it and hopefully ill be running silky smooth tonight
appreciated!

There is an issue with the file system that the fix uses, ext2, it is apparently prone to data loss, so if your phone shuts down unexpectedly, or you yank the battery out, you might run into some problems. theres a heap of info on it in that thread nztechfreak linked in his 1st post.

Overall I think its pretty safe, but like all the fixes comes with some smallprint risks.

Will this work on the Vibrant? I know they are technically the same phone, but I'm worried about it being a slightly different software stack since the carrier is different.

I'd like to do this for my girlfriend who is complaining about lag.

 

[daveleather]

This has transformed my Galaxy S. It feels so much more responsive and there is zero lag! I was getting a bit fed up with blank black screens, slow apps .. all those problems have disappeared.

 

[NZtechfreak]

Great!

...there is this little thing called the Thanks button daveleather...

Thanked, but not for the patronising 'tone' of your reply.

 

[NZtechfreak]

Sorry daveleather, just trying to get people actually showing a little community spirit here

I tried to run glockyboots method on the original Optus jg3. The script started to run then the screen went blank. Left it for 10 minutes- frozen. Had to reload generic JG3 firmware

Phone is now up and running and I tried again. However the superuser.app is not installed even though I used the beta update.zip

Now I've read you can't use both methods. I'm wondering can I uninstall the stuff that update.zip has done?

EDIT: reformatted and started again. Used this method and working fine now

I used post #427
[UTIL] One Click Lag Fix - Page 43 - xda-developers

Process took about 5 minutes to do the whole thing (I had to root my phone as well, but that also only took 5 minutes using the one-click root app). My quadrant score is now 2230!

 

[mohnishism]

wen i removed dis fix..my fone literally became the slowest fone in da world..plus all my data is gone now...thanks god i had backed up my files..
it does seem to have its disadvantages...

 

[mohnishism]

restarted da fone its workin fine now...but it did scare me..

 

[NZtechfreak]

Good point, I would always recommend getting clockworkmod recovery on there and a nandroid backup

Will the one-click root method and the lag fix work on a Vibrant?

I know they are the same phones, but hoping the same root method can be used and then the lag fix applied.

Someone please let me know.

 

[mohnishism]

i think dis fix is a bit overrated...all my games nd apps r openin in the jg4 firmware without the fix almos at the same rate as dey were wid da fix inthe jm2......cnt realy c da diff...
