Which LagFix to use...

...there are several lag fixes out there now. Which one would be the best/safest to use???

RyanZA without a doubt, one click. Get USB drivers. easy to do and easy to undo.

No offense, my friend, but spamming the forums everywhere with the same info in all caps is just a bit obnoxious. I mean, do what you want, but expect people to be annoyed.

read my post on RyanZA fix in batch file. tried V1 and V2.3, both have bugs.
This fix was stable for me, but there is a catch too. the limit for app data storage is 130mb, will you ever go over, i dont know. i didnt yet.

I tried RyanZA's 2-3 batch file fix and I'm not having any problems...to which bugs are you referring?

The bug I’m aware of happens with apps that store data (such as texture) on the sd card outside of the new partition. Some games such as Asphalt 5, Homerun Battle 3d, heavy Gunner, maps... This is a problem with all the lags fixes. If you don't use those apps or apps like that it probably won't affect you.
For instance the load times for Homerun Battle were three times longer on start up, if it started up. I had several times where my phone just shut off. If it eventfully did start it would run fine. Chainfire talks about the bug in his thread found here.

Played around with maps, gps on/off, zillow app., switching back and forth and phone froze on Alpha 1 as well as 2.3. Also this is a know issue and I got it too, on 2.3 I was not able to change fonts. And I hate default font

When i use RyanZA lagfix it works but when i reboot the phone everything gets screwed up anyone have this problem itll take ages to boot up and when it does alot of force closes and widgets outta place etc

Use chainfire. I believe it may be the safest, easily the most automatic one.

whats the story with this damn gps

got the phone a few days ago and the gps has yet to find my location. it has NEVER worked.
now i just did the whole root/cwm/voodoo thing. im hoping that doesnt mess it up even more.
just wondering if i should be worried about the phone it self. i know people complain about the gps but i would expect it to work at least occasionally.

Patience my friend. Soon you will have your gps fix.
All galaxy s phones have this problem. The newest update will solve this problem.

Seems to be miss or hit with the gps. My gps has worked great, although not perfectly, right out of the box. My location is picked up in less than a minute, before and after rooting, installing roms and ask that.

i just did the whole tutorial titled: "HOW TO:Root, Install Clockwork, Remove Bloatware, Integrate Google, Un-root, and more"
will it work fine on mine? where do i go to get it?

One thing I noticed was that in location settings you can only have "stand alone" selected. Even having google location services kills your time to fix.
Someone else posted this on another thread and it worked for me.

you could re-flash the rom, I've never tried the camera hack so I'm not sure exactly what it entails or how to reverse it besides just starting over.

Yes it would unless you back them up somehow.
Are you running a custom rom right now?

No stock rooted why?

I found this:
"Be careful in Service Mode that you know what it is your changing. If you hork up your phone you can reset it by doing a Factory data reset in Settings / Privacy / Factory data reset."
from here
but be careful, you'll need to reinstall your apps if you do that, but if you flashed the rom again you'd have to do that anyways.

Thanks ill probably try a new rom any recommendations preferably one with good battery

I've had great battery with Macnut R13.
I've actualy never had below 24 hours unplugged.
but fair warning: some people say the opposite so I may have just got lucky.
It seems to be about 50/50 have good battery life or dont lol
Also I hear great things about Team Whiskeys roms.
as well as Auxura (Although the guy developing the rom recently stopped development on it)
if you want to stay with 2.1 you might try team whiskey
or if you like 2.2 then any of the above would be great roms
everyone has their own opinion though so you might try a few before you find one you like alot.

Okay one more question... let's say I flash a rom right now... then flash another tomorrow... will the one I did the day before be completely erased when I flash a new one I've heard of people experiencing bugs and this happened ..

Generaly yes you should not have a problem.
but if you do run into trouble you can use odin to start clean, in fact alot of people prefer to use odin to get back to stock before flashing any rom.
but its up to you, I generaly only use odin if things start acting weird (which is next to never)

Wait... isn't Odin how you flash new roms?
Also can u link me to a good tutorial on flashing roms I'm trying to search it from my phone using xda app but its taking forever

Go to your files app.. then sgstools folder there should be a app called camera.apk
Get root explorer go to system > apps and delete camera.apk and the one under it is like camera.odex delete that too.
Now use root explorer to go to sgstools and move camera.API to system apps then go clear all data foe camera app reboot. Done.

Camera not working

Hi,i rooted my cell two months ago, nothing ever was wrong with my vibrant, yesterday my camera fails to activate and a window appears and says "warning, camera failed", is there anything I can do to get it working? I'm a tattoo artist and need my camera, does anyone know how to fix it?

Flash a new rom and try again. If that doesn't work then it may be a hardware problem.

If your phone is under warranty then you'd do a warranty exchange. If it's not then you could buy a new camera assembly for it but that wouldn't guarantee to fix the problem as the hardware error could be on the main board somewhere. It's most likely a software problem. Since you're rooted you can just reflash the camera firmware.
Have you tried a 3rd party camera app?

Its been a few months since I rooted my cell, the camera was always working unroll the other day, and which apps are you talking about, and where would I get the drivers for my camera? And would a rom fix it?

Goto the market and download Retro Camera, it's free and while I don't personally care for it, if it can take pictures then you can prove that your camera hardware still works.
As for camera firmware you can try this, it's clockwork flashable and should work on 2.2 and 2.2.1 altho it is pulled from an older 2.2 build. Some people have had luck with it, other have not http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10952849/Camera-Stock-signed.zip Use at your own risk, I am not responsible if you phone slips into null space.
Assuming that your camera is not working because of a software glitch then yes, a new rom should fix the problem.

Thanks for the assistance, but retro camera won't work, said something about unable to set up and report my cell and model number to etc......ok, now that it has to be a hardware malfunction, how do I unroot and get the bloatware back on for the warranty?

NOOOO
What does it mean to Flash?
My version: It means you are going to replace your current system image/OS with one that you have downloaded from one of our wonderful developers.... you flash a rom by installing the .zip file you download from XDA or the developers site. You flash them using Clockwork Recovery (which is part of Rom Manager in the market)
XDA wiki: Term meaning to write something (usually a ROM image) to a non-volatile chip. The term originates from original chip writers (EPROM blowers) which used to write to a chip by fusing tiny areas in the chip making individual links either short circuit or open circuit.

Gps fix for ELK4 leak

I thought I would stary a new thread as it appears lots of us including myself have the issue where gps signal is lost and does not regain.

Xda is not a place for rudeness we are here to help each other before you get on your high horse and waste the effort of creating a patronising video of how to use google. This reason for my post is because this is a specific problem with the elk4 leak. If you read the other threads you would have seen others have tried agps and it still does not work. Hence my post.

1. Rudeness citation, please;

3. If you have specific problem, it would be better place for it, namely: Q&A, just below the general section of forum.
Last but not least: I have read ALL cited by me thread. No single comment about non working with your ROM, therefore, if you're giving such statement, provide link to the post, please.

You should have post this in Q&A section. Anyway I think it's kernel related just flash Siah kernel see if it's fix your problem but Siah kernel isn't fully compatible with this ROM yet so it will break your video recording.

Well this would make it one. This particular firmware gps problem is not related to whatever patch does, therefore it is not solved by a patch. Now if someone has idea or solution.... Doubt it anyways, and since I'm depending heavily on navigation for my work, back to lj5 patiently waiting for jkay, till next leak and next round of testing.
Testing JKay alpha on GT-I9300

Just noticed gps problems today, is there a fix? I previously didnt wipe. But flashed again full wipe. Not tested yet.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

I can confirm that this worked for me today:
I had just installed Omega 33, and was trying to use GPS to navigate, but was not getting a good on my location (although I seemed to have a certain amount of accuracy to my position). I turned the GPS off and on again, and what little accuracy present went away and I never got the GPS lock.
I used the app known as "Fasterfix" from the play store. It needs root privileges in order for it to modify the "GPS.conf" file.
I live in India. Hence I chose my server as Asia-> India (it sets it to in.pool.ntp.org or something like that). There was no need to reboot. After this, I was successfully able to navigate without any problems.
Try it out and let me know whether it works.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

My problem was never getting a fast lock, it was holding onto it. When I would press navigate i would drive certain distance and would notice my position is few streets behind, then would get prompt gps lost, never to return. Turn off gps toggle, turn on later, aquire lock. Rinse and repeat.

You are saying the aGPS patch works, although from what I have read it's a completely unrelated problem, please show me it worked. If there is already a fix posted you should be straight linking it with a "please use the search next time" that's a helpful post.
And do you even know the problem, have you ever looked in the leaked firmware thread, I barely see you (checking the forums multiple times every day) and when I do see you your posts are rude, with absolutely no intelligence what so ever.
