I flashed the Platinum rom yesterday and its running really slow and i think its because i typed in rfs insteady of EXT4, but when i tryed typing in EXT4 it would let me (i dont remember when the error said) so then i just did the rfs. How do i get the EXT4 to work
 
Did you backup all of your apps with Titanium, flash the ROM, and restore them? If so this can sometimes cause problems. You'll have to reflash to fix this. Also one thing that may help is using titanium backup to remove Sprint ID and tutorial/help widgets etc. I think it is the Platinum ROM (I just installed the theme) that adds like 3 or 4 different launchers. I'd uninstall the ones you don't need as well
EDIT: I'm using rfs not ext4 and I'm still getting right around 9 on Linpack and 285 quadrant

EDIT 2: AVG is another one I uninstalled.
 
Did you uninstall these apps? And that's what I was getting for a while. I don't know why it randomly got faster for me. I flashed the Vanilla ROM, a kernel I'm testing, then the Platinum theme..... Maybe that's causing it to be a little different.
 
Yeah i froze Sprint ID what other apps would be good to freeze


and for some reason My files is crossed out but i never deleted it/froze and i cant run it or anything it same thing with sprint zone,and tutorial widgets
 
I have no clue. Some of mine are like that. Uhhhhhhhhhhh. If you no longer need Sprint ID I would just uninstall it. That's basically all I uninstalled. Plus the stock launcher, launcherPRO and that other launcher that starts with a "z" that came with it. I use ADW Launcher EX and I don't need all of those other ones :P
 
Some people do get a little nervous about that, but my phone has had system apps uninstalled since 2.1 root and it has never caused me any problems. You can always just make a backup of them and if you want them back just restore them. I've never had anything bad happen though and I've removed a lot of system apps.... gallery, the stock launcher, Sprint ID and the widgets etc
 
oh ok... And btw, what rom do u think is the best? ive used both Platinum and vanilla is there one thats better than either of those?
 
I've only used Vanilla. Platinum is basically the same thing but with the platinum theme (which I have). There is the Ti-X Transformer ROM out as well (I believe these are the only ones out). I don't think it is as good as Vanilla/Platinum.
