The title is dumb but the question is not... Change the title you might get better responses...
But anyways, Glacier AKA MT4G has no lag to begin with, so NO LAG to be fixed (HTC phones 100x better than Samsuck's phones and their crappy RSF file system). There are a number of ROMs ported to EXT4 if that's your cup of tea....
Stock Glacier software runs on EXT3

Ext4 is a faster file system, just like windows we have fat32 and ntfs file system NTFS is faster.

Try changing VM heap to 32mb, you can find the line of code in /system/build.prop
seems to make the phone even snappier for me.

Overall What Is The Best Sexy Performance Daily Rom

Im all for performance, I like to get the most out of my device. I also like my interface to be the best looking to show off So with that said what rom in your opinion has the most speed, and stability, as well as all the apps running flawless ie: any video chat, flashplayer setcpu(no crashes) etc....
YES!!!!! i have read through the forums and i think i have almost every rom downloaded to my sd card ready to flash. Just getting mixed reviews based on alot of roms. Waiting to complete a trade over in the Marketplace and when i receive the Mytouch i want to flash something that will shock and amaze me right away.
What do you guys suggest and why? Thanks.

You really just have to flash them until you find one you like. That's why we try to release so many. Everyone had different taste.

[Q] Latest Radio?

I have the G2/Vision and the MT4G/Glacier. I recently d/l a new radio for my G2 that extended battery life to epic proportions. Has there been any development on any new radios for the MT4G? I have looked through all 6 pages of threads in the dev section and could not find anything. Am I missing it, or is there just nothing current for this device?
No one has ventured into radio development, at least not yet.
The current radio is in my sig. It came with the most recent OTA that upgraded Android to 2.2.1
Are there any links to stock radios? Cm7 radio sucks for download speeds

Custom ROMs do not contain radio images. If download speeds are slow on CM7, it's because of the ROM, not your phone's radio.

AOSP ROMs are known for slower download speeds. If you don't like it, don't use it simple as that.
Edit the build prop it should fix your slowness on CM7.

Personally i'd rather deal with slightly slower download speeds, then deal with all of the BS that comes with bloated ROM. Sense is a Sumo Wrestler in a room full of Super Models.... think about it, you'll get it.

I would describe Sense a little differently. Sense is the sexy, voluptuous woman that is high maintenance, whereas vanilla Android is a plain and boring girl that you quickly grow tired of.

Maybe becuase your post doesn't make sense and its useless.
Your title says cm or royalginger but your first post is a myspace address that's not even clickable.
Which I'm guessing its your sig. So basically you started a thread without post.

Well... You should, if not already, put ROM Manager on your phone and try both out.

Thinking of switching phones. Help with another option?

I love the My touch 4G to death, but my wife doesn't seem to like it much. So, I'm need to find something to replace hers. Her's is being used unlocked on AT&t. So, does anyone have any suggestions? On eBay I can sell it for $200-240 so, i'd like to sell it and buy a replacement. It needs to be GSM (AT&T or T-Mobile phones are fine), in my price range and have similar specs. I have really can't think of anything. She hates it so bad she's using her old Samsung Magnet until I find her something :/ lol

She can't make text messaging signature and it doesn't have a keyboard :/
I've already talked to her..... There is no reasoning.
I've never heard of a text messaging signature before.
Good to know about the other thing, though. So the only requirement is a hard keyboard?
Stick with the my touch..
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
For the text message signature she could try using Go SMS Pro in the market.
The only gsm android phone I can think of with a keyboard is the G2. I've used it in the past though and found it to be slightly slower than the MyTouch due to the smaller ram and lower processor speed. I agree that she should stick with the MyTouch.

you could try the mytouch 4g slide, though it is a bit pricey. but check it out anyway.

The Virtuous Unity ROM do have signature option as stated by saranhai.
So no need to change the phone, just change the ROM.
Just go for VU 2.37

If anything don't get the g2 I had it. It's slow as hell outside the stock Rom. Has a good build quality to it though.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
if she wants to have a physical keyboard then your gonna have to switch phones, id say go for the mytouch 4g slide just cuz it would be a more familiar platform and cuz the g2 would be a downgrade in hardware
Hard to imagine not liking the phone over those two reasons. Swype is so much better and faster than conventional texting. And as for the signature, I'm not rooted and I use GO SMS. As already mentioned, it has the option to add a signature. Plus it's much better than the stock text. JMO. Each to their own I guess.
After a solid year with my MT4G (which I am still in love with...) I just bought the GSII
Have to say so far, this phone's bad ass.

Extension 4.. Help!!!

Hey you guys I hate to start a new thread I usually search before I ask but In this case I can't find it..
Anybody know how to install Extension 4, or at least can post a link to a guide with the download included?.. thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Ext4 is a type of file system. If you are wanting to convert to ext4, get 4ext recovery. There is a thread in the Mytouch 4g development forum with links and instructions. Are you using a ROM that supports ext4?

I'm using TDJ MIUI.. I don't know if it supports extension 4 as I can't post in a development thread yet to ask. But yes I want to convert to ext4. If miui is not supported can you tell me of one (or some) that support it

You're welcome. Did you get it worked out? There is a link for the site where you can download the free 4Ext app. Once the app is installed let it update and then download the newest RC (release candidate) of the recovery. Then flash the recovery and reboot into that baby! It has options for converting your filesystem. If you are on MIUI you're probably good already, but it doesn't hurt to check.

Juice defender works by turning off mobile data when the phone is asleep, among other things. It will turn data back on at certain intervals to allow emails, mms, and what-have-you. Juice defender ultimate gives you supreme authority over every detail of the profile. Its a good app, and it works. I used to get annoyed by the few extra seconds of waiting for data when I woke my phone up, but other than that its great. It does make a difference on the battery.

This visually bothers me in 2 threads already.
EXT4 is NOT an abbreviation for "extension 4". EXT4 is "4th extended file system".
Please stop calling it wrong, it's annoying, and it's especially annoying that people reply to you with correct name and you won't get the hint. Thank you.

Firstly, you're more than entitled to your opinion! But there's no need to respond in such a way. To be honest I could care less about what you feel is correct or incorrect because obviously these guys understood what I was asking and helped me along until I got everything right. Its ok to correct to someone but there are ways of going about doing it. So next time respond accordingly and stay in line because a simple correction would've sufficed!
