yea pretty much. or if you think there is alot of lag, other than that no real reason toAfter much researching around on various forums I see no advantage or need to root...do most folks do this just cuz they like to tinker?
Exactly...That's why I did it!...do most folks do this just cuz they like to tinker?

Its the rfs file system that is slowing down our phone, if you want to see what its capable of with a "fix" watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXINc9zse-0
I know many that do it just for the simple fact that you need root to fully back up your phone.
Yea, many do it to tinker and/or unlock features that have been locked out.
Really?! Anybody else weigh in on that? What about backup pro?
do anybody know what launcher is this??? i liked it a lot
also the widgets in the right screen!!!
first off i doubt any grandma would want a captivate but yes my grandma could put the lag fix on, its all in an app in the market
Thats launcher pro.
I'd be careful with Launcher Pro..lotta talk that it is the culprit in the random shut down issue
I don't now what phone you're using. Either you aren't using the Captivate OR you are grossly exaggerating the lag on the phone.
I would stay away from Ryan's One Click Lag Fix. My experience was less than stellar.
The OCLF adds an EXT2 partition that is prone to fragmentation.
While I agree that EXT4 is better than EXT2, and I'll also add that Voodoo's method doesn't layer a virtual filesystem onto a real one. the big problem with Voodoo is that it replaces your kernel with a hacked-up one that is based upon old Samsung code. They keep finding ways that this old code is inferior to the current stock kernel and bugs/issues keep being discovered. Voodoo also doesn't uninstall this kernel when you "remove" the lagfix. In fact, they don't provide any means to get your stock kernel back if you decide you don't want Voodoo anymore.I would look for custom roms or the voodoo lag fix using ext4. EXT4 partitions don't fragment the way ext2 do.

Then maybe you shouldn't have bought the phone on launch day. And if you don't want to fix the phone yourself, why are you here?Videos are fine, but until my Captivate works like that I will continue to be a paying beta tester for Samsung and AT&T. I bought this phone on day one (July 18th). How long until Froyo, GPS and whatever other fix is on my phone and it finally works properly? Somehow I doubt we will see it before the New Year. If so, Sprint here I come.
Also, I want the real official fix. Rooting and other "one click" fixes are unacceptable.

The OCLF adds an EXT2 partition that is prone to fragmentation. Over time, my phone slowed down after installing the OCLF. This slow down was really noticeable after installing a number of apps and updating apps in market.

Oh ya, the weird thing was after I uninstalled the OCLF app/partition, and then did a hard reset on my phone the Galaxy now flies. I HAVE NO LAG...EVER (for the last month)
