No more LAG on my G1. Thanks DroidTweaker

[tiredhiker]

My G1 was in GREAT NEED of a factory reset but I am traveling and can not do it now. Lag Lag Lag will drive you crazy. Up to 20 seconds for my icons to show after I use almost any program. We all know its the Dalvin Cache that needs to be cleaned. I uninstalled program after program but still the lag and only 9% left in Mem. I tried to find the instructions to clean it but could not find any that works on a G1. I am rooted but could not even find the Dalvin cache. Finally I saw this new program called DroidTweaker for rooted phones. With androot root it is easy to root and you can go back to unrooted after you clean the cache. My G1 went from 9% mem to 27% free mem in one click (and a reboot) ! Does not say it was tested for the G1 but I took the chance and it worked. It can also increase the space for the Dalvin cache. Can anyone tell me what I should increase it to?

Sorry to butt in on this convo but I was curious as what this would do to improve the lag on my gt540, I am rooted so installed it. Set the values in the menu very low, but now my screen looks huge ie: icons are now about 30 percent bigger. ive tried to go back into the app to reset the original values but it just hangs on info screen, ive done a factory reset as a last resort but its still the same. how can I get it back to normal?

I would write to the dev. Sounds like your screen resalution got reset. I just cleared out the cache. I figured better to ask first before I tried to change the cache size.

Crisis over (well I hope), I downloaded LCDDensity app and figured out that my phone is set at 160 from factory, when I opened the app it was at 180 so just adjusted acordingly.

Well..................... One should not just start pressing buttons when using a Tweaking Program for a rooted phone when it clearly says what phones it has been tested on and many warnings to be careful.

But Again does anyone have any info on what size I should set my cache size on a G1 for better performance ???
