Can not lag fix on Galaxy S with OneClickLagfix

As the title, I rooted the device by z4root then used OCLF to lag fix but it showed that " You already appear to have another lag fix installed!(/system/bin/playogos1 less than 5KB)". I have already up to be froyo 2.2 version.
As the word, I never have installed another lag fix program on my phone. I want anyone to help fixing this problem.
Thanks a lot.

Restore playlogos1 with the one click lag fix program, just scroll down a bit. Or flash a better lag fix kernel.

You mean that you have me use restore boot animation, do you ? I have already used that option but it not work. Do you have any way to fix it ?
Thanks

I think he meant for you to go into oclf and search in there for playlogos1,it should be geen
didnt read your post properly,sorry mate.

n00b needs help

Hi I know that i shouldn't post topic like this.
I was an iphone user until recently when i bought galaxy s. Galaxy was delivered with android 2.2 now i want to root it but i can't because it won't load update.zip from recovery menu because it's 3e. I've searched the forum but nothing seems to help.
I will be very thankful if someone helps me

Search the forum for getting the 3button combo working, there are few links.
Once you get the download mode, recovery mode working you can root using z4root (available in the market).

You'd need to change to a kernel that supports overclocking. Offhand i can think of raspdeep / yaok

First why do you want to overclock? Is your sgs not fast enough?
If you say you are a noob, you should not be trying these things
Do more reading first

I will try that thanks.

Lag is most likely when writing/reading on the flash memory. Either because of the File System (wich shouldn't be the case if you used OCLF or the likes) and because SGS is using flash memory (SD Card) instead of a Nand on other devices. This is so that you have more space on the device.
So, O/Cing the thing won't change the "lag". Altough, I'm using JK4 and the lag is pretty much lesser than any other (when installing apps or browsing on folders, for example). And I don't use any lagfix.

So i should switch from jp6 to jk4?

Best Custom ROM to flash?

Hey guys,
Lately the Stock ROM is annoying me, I'm planning on flashing it to a custom ROM - I don't see gingerbread anywhere so I thought why not !
Also, my tab was rooted until something happened and I had to reset it to factory settings, most of the apps (that need root access) work, but titanium backup claims it fails to achieve root.
So Should I re root my tab before flashing a custom ROM?
and of course the question I asked in the title - what would you'll recommend for a custom rom on a GSM tab (I was thinkin overcome)
Cheers
Jackie

Go for overcome rom, works like a charm for me

I'd also reccomend Overcome. Best rom out there IMHO. Until we get data on honeycomb anyway

I also recommend Overcome. It's been brilliant so far.

Sweet, thanks a lot guys.
But can anyome tell me a sure **** way of know if it still has root, because some apps like screen density and market enabler work but titanium backup says "could not gain root" :/

Probably because you mis-pressed the allow button in superuser when first launching titanium.
launch superuser and remove teh titanium entry and next time you load it will ask for su rights again.

Definetly overcome!

I second that. Alterbridge is a first class developer.
And I really miss Rotohammer too.

Thank you very much everyone, I'm thinking I'll get rid of unwanted stuff on my internal SD before I start it - as I found out that conversion to ext4 takes a while - so I'll save time that way also - hopefully if time permits, I'll be flashing my tab soon
Also does anyone know if i could some how get the gingerbread framework to work with the galaxy tab on overcome?

I think its better you hold out at the moment till someone ports it over to the WiFi version

Well its a good idea. Am empty SD card conversion takes 2 minutes. Full one can take upto 20 LOL. Not that I encourage everyone to wipe their cards. I flashed overcome when my tab was fairly new so I had no problems wiping it.

sweet, thanks for the info, also when the ext4 is being converted, is there a progress bar or status? I get paranoid at times when I don't see any progress

After all thr struggle I went through....I fiinally got my sgs running smooth.

Hey Guys!
After all thr struggle I went through....I fiinally got my sgs running smooth. Well this goes for all 2.2, 2.2.1 and 2.3.3 stock Roms.
1. All i did was use voodoo lagfix.
2. Install superuser from market.
3. Install root uninstaller
4. Uninstall all samsung apps eg. buddy, feed updates, dual clock, diary etc...task manager. All of them except samsung apps (u may choose to if u dont use it).
5. Now reset ur handset and enjoy ur super fast sgs.
I dont think sgs need any task manager or killer. If needed u may kill tasks from running apps in the settings. I dont think there are any issues with touchwiz or sgs as such.....but these apps are really crap. download apps from market. They all work awesome.
My sgs is currently on the 2.3.3 JVK Rom.

You could of saved a lot of effort and just cooked a Rom in the kitchen.
I've come from darkys rom to a custom cooked one from the kitchen and my phone is faster and more stable than ever.

A deodexed and zipaligned rom would have given you even better performance..

De-odexing if anything will slow the phone down, but zipaligning can lower some memory consumption, so technically your phone may give better performance because of zipaligning (due to more mem being free).
/probably not noticeable though...

I've flashed honeycomb and, stock, this rom is faster than darky's
How I did it:
I'm using GT-I9000M so I need the 850, so prior to this, I've flashed theses modems, in order: JL2, JS8, JPD
Hard reset when still in Darkys
Disabled lagfix and all the optimisations
flashed JVK
Hard Reset again
And everything is darn smooth and stable, battery holds 3 days easy. Honestly, best rom as of now!

I found that people says that version 2.3.5 has better sound quality and battery drain is gone.

Been using V3 for a week now, so far it been great. Playing with lots of apps from the market, no fc till now and battery is decent. Try it.

Is it that different to stock 2.3.5 though? I'm running 2.3.5, tried VR3.0 and can't see any differences at all. The guys at VR don't seem able to say what benefits it has over stock, other than some VR tweaks that aren't of use to me.

Urm one major difference stock is odexed, VR is deodexed. Allows themes and mods which for most is a big plus.

I have been using Villian 3 for several months and I love it!
Only issues that I know:
Device Encryption does not work and blocks the phone (you have to come back to original stock rom to be usable, the phone cannot boot)
Touchdown app does not sync calendar (but email works so I'm fine with it)
But battery life is awesome compared to stock one, is very fast and I you like TW like I do is great cause you will get TW experience with better battery and faster

Yes, device encryption is unfortunate...
I'd not turn it down if it worked... I decided to wait until ICS, and then see if the inbuilt stuff there works. If not, I'll have to figure it out.
But at the end of the day, I wouldn't release the rom like that, for one reason. Encryption is only good if you are using a secure rom. While VR is in many respects more secure than most ROMs due to using non public platform keys, it still permits root access.
Since exchange encryption is usually enforced by your IT admin, I don't think people should be using this ROM for work purposes to connect in, given it is rooted...
With root, you can just dump the data off the running system
