8/10/2010: Added Startup Issue Reversion
8/11/2010: Added Alternate Manual Method that might work better than AUTO
8/11/2010: Added Possible Method of Backing EXT2 Partition
Here everyone... I have been trying lag fixes all over the place and I always seem to have issues partitioning the external sd for the apps... so after so many attempts, this was BY FAR the best lag fix out there.... It doesn't rely on the externalsd for functionality.
Easy and nothing special needed.
The steps below are pretty good, but I did things a little different.
Copied the update.zip to my external sdcard.
Then used Root Explorer to copy the update.zip to my internal sd card.
(******Here is the updated filed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=376882&d=1281390347******)
Then I used ROM Manager (Reboot into Recovery) to boot into the Linux Loader
Then I said update using update.zip (not install update.zip)
Then Reboot
For some reason it didn't install busybox 1.17.1 so install it manually
(located: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7574130&postcount=229)
Make sure after you install busybox.apk that you go into busybox and check to MAKE SURE you are running 1.17.1 ONLY. You might have an older version or newer version but it must be 1.17.1; if different just click install.
After that follow the MCR Scripts below. (Took about 6 minutes to do everything)
*** If MCR Scripts DOES NOT show up, its probably because you don't have the non market install hack on your phone. In the update.zip you can find the apk and install via ADB, but I didn't do it this way. ******
(Original Thread! Alternate method on OP in link below! Some people say it worked better for them.)

@Tayutama
I ran the Tayutama update.zip using the up+power+menu button method, it installed in seconds and I restarted the phone. I ran the benchmark but still got 8xx scores. I'm an Noob, so needed more thorough instructions. These are now given below. NOTE: THIS METHOD IS MUCH MORE NOOB FRIENDLY AND DOES NOT REQUIRE A PC OR USB DEBUGGING MODE.
EDIT I had realised I needed to launch the newly installed MCR app after restart and choose a lagfix file to run. I ran the file and 'all complete'. This worked a treat. Ran Quadrant and now have a top score of 2114 running on JM2. System is much snappier. This mod of RyanZA fix by Tayutama is the most noob friendly also. Full instructions as follows:
EDIT Requirements: Make sure your phone has 'superuser' app installed by checking your app list. If it isn't installed, you can use a newer beta version of Tayutama's update.zip
available at; http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...4&d=1281437129
Full instructions:
1. The update.zip installs all the files needed. It is attached here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1281390347
2. Place it on your internal sdcard
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Hold down Up+powerbutton+Menubutton for a couple of seconds until u see the galaxy logo .
5. Use the up and down buttons to get to update.zip.
6. Press menu button on update.zip to select it
7. It installs root, correct busybox (1.17.1) as well as all the scripts needed for the fix and the 'MCR Scripts' app to run the scripts. (NOTE: This version does not install superuser.app which is needed, although the beta update.zip does, so read 'requirements' above if needed)
8. After install, the phone restarts.
9. Go to the newly installed 'MCR Scripts' application from the app list, open it and choose from 3 scripts. For example, Lagfix10024 is the 1gb ex2 version.
10. The script should run and take a few minutes.
11. You should see an 'all complete' prompt, and this means you can close the application.
12. Run quadrant to test if the fix was applied.

What this update.zip file does is that it copies a few files to your internal sdcard and installs ASE which can be used to run .sh files without the need to use a terminal.
There are 3 scripts included:
LagFix1024.sh - Makes a 1GB file on /data
LagFix512.sh - Makes a 512MB file on /data
RemoveFix.sh - Removes the lagfix
This also includes BusyBox 1.17.1 so no need to install that first.
Testet this on JM1

********Alternate Method that might even work better!! ****************
All the files are located in the update.zip file that you need to download.
1. Connect phone to PC, make sure adb can see it:
adb devices
2. adb kill-server
3. adb push createlagfix.txt /sdcard/createlagfix.sh
4. adb push playlogos1 /sdcard/playlogos1
5. adb push userinit.sh /sdcard/userinit.sh
6. adb shell su -c "/system/bin/sh /sdcard/createlagfix.sh"
7. adb kill-server
8. adb reboot
************ Reverting back if there are boot up and black screen issues ****************
If you have black screen and doesn't boot into the desktop, this is the fix to return back to normal state:
To fix that problem:
1. Boot into Recovery Mode (Vol Up + Vol Down + Power) Let go of Power after you see AT&T.
2. Delete User Cache
3. Delete All User Data
4. Then see if your phone boots up
5. If your phone does boot up then navigate to Settings -> Security -> Factory Reset
6. After factory reset your phone should be useable again.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS UPDATE IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
**********Possible method of Backing up Your EXT2 Partition **********
BTW I would also perform a NANDROID Backup as well which can be done by using ROM Manager to boot into the Android Loader....
Nandroid does NOT back up the apps off your SD card.
AppsToSD (I'm speaking re MoDaCo's rom here) uses the ext2 partition on your SD card for the /data/app and /data/app-private folders, where your actual downloaded application files are kept. Nandroid does NOT back this up, and simply mounting your SD card and copying the files off also does not back this up.
The only way to back up these critical folders is to directly copy them to somewhere else. You can use command line or Droid Explorer.
If you want to use command line, do this from an ADB shell or terminal:
mkdir /sdcard/backup/
mkdir /sdcard/backup/app
mkdir /sdcard/backup/app-private
cp -r /data/app/* /sdcard/backup/app/
cp -r /data/app-private/* /sdcard/backup/app-private/
This will create two folders on your SD card: app and app-private, both in a folder called Backup. It will then copy the entire contents of your /data/app and /data/app-private folders to your SD card.
After you do this, back up the entire contents of your SD card as normal.
To restore the files after replacing/partitioning your SD card, head to this thread:

Does it show strong real world improvements?

good job explaining nothing. troll harder

So....
This is a ""one step"" that isn't one step... ?.. ?
Oh, and for anyone wondering....
This appears to be the ext2 fix.

This IS the same fix from the otger thread, just packaged in update.zip format. Id be a bit more cautious using this one as it hasnt had as much testing among the I9000 crowd much less Captivate users.

Thanks for confirming this. I am seeing strong real world improvements, too. Dolphin Browser HD is very snappy and everything seems a lot faster (I am on stock captivate, btw, couldn't get this to work on I9000 for some reason).
Only thing is you should back up frequently because it can be corrupted a lot more easily since it is on ext2.

hm... i applied the update in clockwork mod recovery, i have super user and the correct busybox version installed and rebooted the system. i went to the app list and could not find the "MCR SCRIPT" you mentioned i should be seeing... am i doing something wrong?

THat is weird I saw mine in the apps list.... its just called MCR with a green dog bowl and light bulb....
Woops sorry for the truncation in the quote.... I have attached the update.zip file that you need to download.... The update.zip file you used is probably a ROM Manager Update.zip, so just rename it and copy the new update.zip file to the internal sd....
Sorry.....

This isn't one step because I don't have the USB cable with me. I just had a USB adapter for the microsd and I can't boot into the linux loader correctly without the cable, so I used ROM Manager. It would have been easier if I did.

when you say put the update.zip into the phone... do i put it in the internal sd card root? or do i put it in the ROM MANAGER folder? when i choose apply update, it only gives me one option to update from: /sdcard/update.zip. i choose that it installs properly and i reboot. i still don't the app, lol.
i also have removed the the recovery-update.zip or renamed it and tried to reboot into recovery mode via ROM MANAGER but it doesn't let me do it because it can't find the zip. then i tried to put the update into the the ROM MANAGER folder and it says it can't the find update.

its still the same cant find the app i reboot to recovery apply sd card update.zip go to yes and it says installed reboot and its not there

Sorry for the bad reply.
Rename the update.zip that is already on the internal sd cards root because that is ROM Managers using ROOT Explorer
Then copy the update.zip that you downloaded to the external SD card.
Then copy update.zip from the external sd card to the internal sd cards root.
Then use ROM Manager to reboot into the linux loader.
Hope that helps?

slider2828 said:

The update.zip that you use download, copy it the the internal sd card's root... (Basically where ROM Manager update.zip was. Like you did Rename the update.zip that is already there, because that is ROM Managers).

hm... the only update.zip i have is in the Recovery Mod folder named: recovery-update.zip. the only update.zip i have in the sdcard root is the update.zip i downloaded from the your url and have been applying that as the update. i seem to be having the same problem as Bionicboto.
should i have the rom manager's update.zip in there also or it doesn't matter? and i also have no external sd card. is that something i need in order to get this update working properly?

Did you ever perform a backup with the ROM Manager? That usually creates a update.zip.....
Basically when I log into root explorer and click on SDCARD.... you should see the update.zip in that folder along with Android folder, busybox folder, clockworkmod folder, DCIM folder, downloads folder, etc etc....

i preformed a backup right before i did all this. i did notice the update.zip in there. i took it out and put in the update.zip you uploaded. do i need both in there?
thanks for the quick replies btw.

Nope... Try this... with ROM Manager,
Choose Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery and that will recreate the boot files for ROM Manager.... and also backup your current ROM again.
Then try the steps again.
OMG Dude I noticed you in oakland, I am in hayward/san leandro.... We can try after I get off work which is in 30 minutes. and then take 30 minutes to get back to SL....

[Q] ANSWERED!! NAND.. can you change kernels?

Hi guys,
Is it possible to change the kernel of a nand build at all?

Just made something for you, note: haven't tested it:
Kernel Theiving
How to:
- Install Nand version which has the kernel you want.
- Run "extract_kernel.bat"
- Install Nand version you like, and want to keep.
- Run "install_kernel.bat".
- Et voila!
Now, you only have to use "install_kernel.bat" if you flash another rom.
Note: You need adb installed on your PC
Quickie on how to install adb:

I read the batch file and
you have created a folder called boot under data folder and pasted the zimage
so everytime when we boot out Hd2s it going to replace the zimage with the one in boot folder, so i guess its going to delay the booting process (correct me if im wrong) so is it possible to delete that folder after booting our Leos?

No, that's not what it does. it mounts the boot partition temporarily to /data/boot, and after it's mounted, adb copies over the zImage file, and overwrites the preexisting kernel image, after this, the partition is unmounted. So it's not repeated at each boot.

works a treat...
I just used Android commander..
made sure it was connected..
then ran the extract batch file
installed the nand build i wanted...
then ran the install Kernel.bat
and it works a treat!!!!

Is all that done on the phone? It seems you installed the kernel on the phone somehow. I'm clueless about adb, I tried to use it before but was dumbfounded by it all.
Do I need Eclipse? Downloading the SDK stuff...installing JDA SE and it talks about Eclipse.

take a rom, open it with winrar or any extractor and take /system/fonts out of the zip..
(if you need sense fonts, use a flashable zip sense rom, otherwise AOSP)
AOSP fonts do also work on sense, the names are the same
root your phone..
then set up adb , some good guides here on the board..
connect phone with usb, no sdcard mounting
now:
Code:
adb remount
adb push yourfont.ttf /system/fonts
(repeat as long as you have ttf files: might work if you use *.ttf)
adb reboot
if you don't want to root, i don't know how to do it
EDIT: hope you are already rooted because with no fonts, how would you root your phone,
or install the necessairy files.. didn't notice it yet
grtz

that was not possible
i had to downlaod last rom at http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=283&act=sd&cat=all , install it back to 1.5, then upgrade all the way OTA till latest version for it (a.k.a 2.1) , now back to normal

@Bashar, if you root it again and want to experiment. Make sure you got a custom recovery. Easier to solve mess I guess You can create back-ups of your normal ROM in it as well. Anyway, glad it is back to normal.

No, Amend. Use Clockworkmod from within ROM Manager for getting CWM 2.5 (This is over and above your current 3.x), else use Fastboot to remove your current 3.x and install 2.5 in its place.

Thanx For Replying

In CM7, Open ROM Manager (Or, if you are not in CM7, then download the app called ROM MAnager from the Market)
- Then Select Install Clockworkmod Recovery. This will install v2.5 on the SDCard
- Select Reboot into Recovery from ROM Manager
- This will take you to Clockworkmod 2.5, then you can install this ROM.
By following this, you get to keep both recoveries, 2.5 (Select Reboot into Recovery from ROM Manager App) and 3.x (Select Reboot into Recovery from the Phone-Switch-Off Menu)

+1 for jokerdroid, after using CM7 for 1 month. I cant live without sense dialer and contact manager, and jokerdroid is really fast and stable (I got 3.3mflops without JIT).

+1 JokerDroid 4.2 i have been using cm7 stable and nightlys for the last 2-3 months they are fast but had to many little bugs that pissed me off lol , never really used sense as had the phone for a couple of hours and rooted it and flashed cm7,JokerDroid 4.2= fast and very stable so far so for me this is the best rom i have used to date

that`s good !
yep ! one of the best roms that i`ve ever tried ! jokerdroid 4.2 ! so far so good since a week ago !

I tested CM7, but I missed some features from Sense. So I decide to use JokersDroid, but it hasn't got "insecure boot" (no rw mount). After everything I decided to use MoDaCo (it has busybox, so usefull). I replaced kernel to nfinity MC4 from johnseen99 (so I can OC buzz), removed some annoying apps, add JAVA and Livewallpapers from DK Rom, unlocked GoogleMaps and switched to GoLauncher EX.
I'm happy now

Ok, there is two other ways to make it: using rootexplorer to remount /system partition with R/W, or adb shell to remount it manually (adb shell, su, and mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system)
As I have rootexplorer, even when I have to adb push something, I just open /system in rootexplorer and press "mount r/w" button.
Ed.:
I cant remember the correct number of mtdblock. You can check it with df command on shell, and it will give you all mounted partitions

[Boot Animation][30 JUL] Android + Circle Progress Bar (CM7) (HVGA/MDPI)

Hey,
I made a custom boot animation for my p500 and decided to share it with you guys. It's very lightweight (only 28 images) and sober, I can't stand those 'l33t' flashy boot animations... maybe I'm getting too old.
Took the 'Android' text from a wallpaper and the circle progress bar from another boot animation (found in UOT Kitchen).
Installation:
1. Save bootanimation.zip in c:\bootanim\ (or anywhere else, but then you will have to change the path in adb push command)
2. Turn on USB Debugging and connect you phone to your PC via USB cable.
3. open command prompt in android-sdk\platform-tools and run the folowing commands*:
adb devices
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
adb push c:\bootanim\bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb shell mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
adb reboot

And that's it. Your phone will restart and you will be able to see the animation in action. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
If anyone wants to create a flashable ZIP I'll put a link to it here. I'm just too lazy to create it myself.
*you must have the Android SDK installed in order to use the adb tool.

Hey,
I made a custom boot animation for my p500 and decided to share it with you guys. It's very lightweight (only 28 images) and sober, I can't stand those 'l33t' flashy boot animations... maybe I'm getting too old.
Took the 'Android' text from a wallpaper and the circle progress bar from another boot animation (found in UOT Kitchen).
And that's it. Your phone will restart and you will be able to see the animation in action. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Glad you liked!
Sure it's easier with Root Explorer but it's a paid application so not everyone does have it.

Very nice! Tnx!

Excellent bootanimation and I always prefer the adb commands to change the bootanimations.

Check out 'File Expert' by Geek Technology in the market [as i do not have permission to post links yet.. ]
It does all of the stuff that root explorer does...!!
One of those few good looking root explorers..
P.S.: I know everyone knows still... You need root permissions for full access to the root system..!!

I don't think file expert can mount /system in read/write mode. If it does, please let me know how.
