Root One Click Lagfix. Wow.

For what it's worth, I would NOT run the "one click lag fix" (app in the market) on the Samsung Vibrant (T-Mobile). It messed up my girl's phone.

I know there are other lag fixes out there but I can't speak on their reliability. However, they do seem to be "better" for the Vibrant.
 
Hey guys i am a noob wanted to know if the SWYPE text input will work in SGS if i root it and/or is it available for install in the Market ? I wouldnt like to do away with this wonderful feature...

THanks a lot...
 
Sorry guys, i'm a complete newbie to this

Can someone just take me through this step by step please (be gentle) and what exactly is rooting?
 
Has anyone else had a problem booting after the oneclick method?

Mine is not booting after the Samsung screen and I am more than a little bit worried.

I have seen several people have had this problem and a few have said it will come on after a few minutes. Mine has failed to start after about a dozen atempts now.

I have posted on the xda thread asking for help and will update here once(if) I have it sorted.

Edit: I have had to restore factory settings, still not sure what i did wrong. Will try again.

The One Click Lag Fix is FLAWED.

Just because the phone speeds up after the fix does NOT mean it will necessarily be ok in the long run. This happened to my girlfriend's Vibrant. We ran the lag fix and the phone was super fast for about a week. She did not install ANYTHING after we ran the lag fix.

About 8-9 days after the fix, the phone started slowing down drastically. It would literally take 10-15 seconds after hitting the home key to come out of an app. We had to do a hard reset and I had to walk her through restoring stuff (over the phone...not fun).

The OneClickLagFix is seriously flawed. I know not everyone has had the same experience, but someone on XDA once posted a theory as to what would eventually happen with a lag fix. I think he predicted a dramatic slowdown but I forget what his theory was.

I hear you. Hopefully the FroYo update will negate the need for the fix.

I had to reset my phone in the end and have reapplied the lag fix. It is nice knowing it can be undone and I only wish I had backed up my data as I was advised to do. I will be backing up regularly from now on.

On the plus side the phone is SERIOUSLY quicker. One of the annoyances I had previously was the lag when answering a phone call which led me to missing many important business calls. Not cool. Post lag fix answering the phone is much much quicker.

Market is way way more responsive also. I am now reinstalling all my lost apps :(

Thank god for Google Sync!

Hopefully my phone will work trouble free for the next few weeks until FroYo comes out.
I am not normally the type to mess with a device but the potential of the SGS was right there staring me in the face I felt I owed it to the phone to unleash its potential. Thats my story anyway :)
 
Just a quick update, 5 days later and I am still happy I went with the Fix. I have had a few "Force Closes" with the Phone app, android core and calender but only a small handful and nothing that waiting a few seconds didn't fix.

I have installed more than 80 apps in 5 days and all are running blisteringly fast. Marked improvement in answering the phone especially, I miss hardly any calls now. Also Music App, browser and the Market especially all working much better.


The question is still there to be asked, is faster performance but (potential) data loss worth it?
When you are holding cutting edge hardware, my opinion is faster is better but I am backing up everything regularly, just encase.
 
Having a little problem here after hard resetting my phone.

I used ryanza's oclf initially and had no issues with the install. I've now done a hard reset, and downloaded it again from the market. Then re-rooted my device no issues. Then in the app it enables the Install Ext2 Tools which works no problems. But after that it does not enable the install oneclicklagfix V2+. It also doesn't allow uninstalling either V2 or V1 lag fixes. And when I click on install v2+ it tells me I already have a lagfix running? But shouldn't a hard reset removed all of that?
 
Amazing what stuffing around can do. Ended up pressing the 'restore boot animation' button and when it finished the 'oneclicklagfix v2+' button was enabled. 2303 now. Was getting about 1800 with v1.

Congrats! It is amazing what stuffing around can do :)
 
Hi guys, I've just took the plunge and rooted my galaxy s i9000, and appled the one click lagfix.

My quadrant advance score went from 880 to 2254, crazy!!!

My phone is one of the newer ones that has the 3 button recovery mode disabled, so I used the one click root tool from xda on my pc to do it.

Then installed the one click lagfix app from the market and did the rest on that.

Everything seems fine, and the benchmark scores are awesome, I'm guessing I can put it all back from within that program when froyo is released for me to update???

Also my app space has gone from 2gb to about 850mb to speed up the I/o read/writes, I just left it on the amount it set by default.
 
hollllllllllllly crap....just did mine went from
rooted with UTB = 900ish
that plus the 1 click lag fix = 2200

What a awesome difference!!, BTW does the 1clicklagfix save or kill your battery life?
 
Can someone please let me know if its possible to 'unroot' your Galaxy S after lag-fixing, while still having everything in place?
I've seen the documentation and tests confirming that Android uses raw text tables to store passwords and such, and protects them from apps and users by making the files and tables root level access. Also of course rooting can leave your phone open to malware in a more general sense. So - I'd like to root, lag fix, and then unroot to keep stuff secure. Possible?
