Help Galaxy S running really slow

[ranapnea]

I found the Samsung widgets really slowed it down, mainly the daily briefing one. Once I got rid of them it sped up massively.

Just wanted to confirm this. After removing the google widget from my Galaxy S the phone responsiveness more than doubled. Thanks a lot for this hint.

Right my phone rocks because i don't have blouted firmware on, Plus you need to really vet your phone apps like twitter and facebook only need to sync when you say so, Every one gos mad for laucher pro well on stock it will drain your resources don't get me wroung it rocks but needs to be on a custom rom to work. Also shut active widgets of like google search and any news app that updates.
Samsung do there own task manager this is not a aggressive as task killer plus if you go into app manager and see what apps are running. Plus some apps will not work properly with others.
On 2.3 when we get it there changing the file system to EXT4 so that will speed up every thing. GPS now that will slow things down so shut it off 3g yes 3g if you can use wifi Now also the cache in apps as well clear that out turn bluetooth off as well plus most of these will double your battery life.

The biggest problem is the firmware network no nothing about firmware so debrand you don't have to go custom just stock the best custom rom is Darkeys 9.3 at the moment i have never had to run lag fixes even on darkys i don't but stock rom is alot faster then Branded
