unless you reflash with master clear i do not know sorry i am still new to this
If you installed Froyo , voodoo is long gone , as Froyo overwrites kernel , files you see on your SD card are nothing more then left overs you can delete them any time you want.
I can say that compared to stock 2.1 and using stock 2.2, 2.2 has been faster for me on every level. 2.2 is not as fast as any version of cognition I have ever used so it depends on your comparison I guess.

so i can just delete the folder right?
Me too!
I'm in the same boat buddy. I'm running the latest Cognition with the ext2 lagfix from SL4A and it's almost unbearably slow. I know I must have done something wrong or there is some kind of error because it's just painfully slow. Also I have a CPU monitor and for some reason my CPU is almost always above 90%. Another weird thing I noticed is that even after I kill off the extra apps with Advanced Task Killer, they seem to open back up almost immediately. For example if I kill 12 apps, and then kill again 5 minutes later, there will be at least 7 or 8 apps running again without me opening any. I'm excited to have Froyo, Flash is rad, but I'm hoping DG comes out with a new Cognition soon because I know something is wrong with my set up right now.
At first, I have restored all my apps with Titanium (apps only), and the phone was so slow as to be unusable. Without those apps, it's fast enough. Obviously, many of those aren't fully compatible with Froyo. Will have to reinstall the apps one-by-one, and see what happens with each one. PITA, but at least the things will be more stable that way.

so its the apps huh... and we all thought froyo was going to be awesome
Can't be the apps... I installed the apps one by one after flashing cognition 2.2 and it is really slow. It was painfully slow at first, but after some use it seems that the phone "got used" to froyo or something the lag isn't THAT bad.
Maybe there's a pattern between the phones that lag and the ones that don't.
For example, mine has the 3 button combo disabled and yours?
I absolutely love FROYO I previously had an iphone 3g and jumped over to the captivate with 2.1. I wasn't really impressed with android at all until this 2.2 update. I am currently running 2.2 with the one click lag fix, also I used the alter minfree settings within the one click lag fix which sets a limit on the amount of memory the phone can use at one time, I set mine to strict seems to work well. My phone is faster than its ever been and i have used all of the various roms prior to Froyo. Try getting rid of the task killer and just use the alter minfree settings within the one click app.
Battery life seems much improved as well
You are running a leaked ROM with a bunch of weird crap in it. Kallsyms shows a whole bunch of tuner functions that I'm pretty sure we don't have and some other stuff that may be garbage or a product of the newer kernel source, I'm not sure.
This is probably just a quicky test port of the I9000 ROM so I wouldn't worry about speed (or stability) yet.

I have a Captivate without the 3 button issues, and it's really fast on 2.2 Cog with lagfix applied. All my apps installed without issue using TiBu. I even had the JPK euro rom installed on it with our JI6 kernel, and that worked fine too, but I couldn't drop the bloatware.
And for the guys who insist on using a task killer, and are always worried about using too much ram: http://lifehacker.com/5650894/andro...ed-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them

Im pretty sure that people have already said not to restore your backups from Titanium. It has been reported to cause alot of issues. At least dont restore core system components.
No speed issues with mine.
My steps:
Re-flashed to JF6 first.
Completely wiped my internal SD card
Installed COG 2.2
Ran the LagFix from SL4A
Reinstalled TiBU and apps
Reconfigured settings/sounds/etc.
Does the email app work well for everyone? For me, it is barely usable, it always hangs and seems to slow everything down. I had to remove my exchange account because just having it there made the phone constantly lock up and freeze, and now even my yahoo takes forever to simply open the inbox.
I'm running 2.2 without Cog or any lag fix and it's incredibly slow and has horrible battery life. I'm going to try to recalibrate the battery and see if that will make it more accurate. More than likely it wont change anything.
I'm just holding out for a stable/near-final Cognition 2.2. I know it has the potential to be very zippy.

Root and do the one click lag fix. Exchange email is plenty snappy afterwords. I still don't have calendar updates, but at least I can use the email app.

Mine was the same way. It didn't even function most of the time (emails wouldn't load)
I'm running the OCLF now and I hope it makes a difference.
Edit: I'll try this to fix battery issues as well
Code:
adb shell

Hi.
I'm on the stock gingerbread. Have root, v6 supercharger script etc. Working on stock ROM and lg Launcher.
I'm wondering what these lines :
" hs.systemserver=64m
hs.com.lge.launcher2=64m "
In /system/build.prop means, and what effect it can do. I reduced heapsize from 64mb to 36mb to avoid freezes during a heavy multitasking. I use multitasking option in supercharger script. I use some background apps, and there is annoying freezing, and phone is not responding like if a ram policy was bad. It happens under the heavy usage, while using heavy apps (more than one) Phone sometimes reboots during this long freezes, and sometimes after long time wakes up with a screen that some app is not responding (then I kill it and phone is fine)
Can I delete these lines in build.prop ? And do it help in anything?
What else I can do?
Do anybody have an idea why stock GB ROM lags from time to time, and these lags are quite long if happen.
The reason I don't want to change to a custom ROM is that I want to have some things that are stock (dialer, lock screen, notification bar etc.) I would change if they work on miui, or cm7 became stable..
My stock gb rom is fast and not laggy so it's probably an app in background hogging up cpu or ram. Try using a task manager to stop apps you don't need from auto starting and then reboot.
If you are rooted you can also stop lg bloatware from running too.

Yep, i'm working on it, stopping a bloatware, using different Launcher, and uninstalling unnecessary and possible lagging apps.
But, i'm afraid that either there are some malfunctions in the stock software, or I have this occasional lags and memory issues because I didn't do a wipe after the update from 2.2 to 2.3...
No person with such issues that sometimes an app is not responding and Android hangs, lags, not responing, and reboots ?
I must check deeper my problem... Maybe too many apps installed and running in the background...? I will check.. Cause it annoys me quite a bit.
I didn't do a wipe but when I did a factory reset things improved a lot except battery issue which is sorted now so maybe try that option?
Dave

As far as I know to Wipe means a factory reset, so I think its the same thing.
You tell that the battery issue is being sorted out by LG itself,.or you mean that there is a solution here on xda forum? Any help will be appreciated. My battery life is fine but reading the battery usage is really messed up on every GB ROM I think. That is what they should work on..
I loved sidekick 4g but hated how it always randomly crashed on me (it would vibrate, pause, then vibrate 3 more times before rebooting). I thought installing glorious overdose might fix the problem but it still seems to be acting up. Can anyone with sk4g relate to this problem?

Could you clarify on what you were doing when it freezes up?

It actually ranges. Playing games or multi-tasking would cause the phone to crash, but what's unacceptable is that I could exit out of my app drawer or go into a texting application and my phone would reboot on me. I heard it is very common for the sk4g to do this due to a bug, but I haven't heard it talked much about here on xda.
I've had these problems too, and have tried to figure out a root cause through trying varied roms and removing different apps. I'm beginning to believe I just have a bad device...
...I have noticed that it has lessened since I gave up and went back to the original software w/ last update. I've also stopped using apps that poll GPS... (playing foursquare or checking in w/ latitude and geo-tagging photos would frequently give the vibes and lock the phone)
I still have the issue on occasion during varying gmail operations...
...I do, however, have more frequent random reboots.

Try loading a fairly non-touchwiz rom like GingerClone.

I'm running glorious overdose now, but noticed that it still occurs sometimes. Not quite sure if its more or less frequent but it seems unchanged as of now.
KJ2 still has the problem where the launcher gets thrown out of memory, so if you are doing some heavy task and then switch back to the homescreen it has to reload the entire launcher at the same time.
Seems to happen less on GingerClone than KJ2 stock or KJ2 based roms, otherwise you'd have to run the v6 supercharger script.
Seems pretty solid so far on KJ2 with v6 supercharger set

This happens to both me and my wife. It started with the July 2011 update. The most recent update made it happen less, but here's when it happens:
1. browser scrolling
2. startup of maps
3. typing address in maps
4. sms conversations list open
I'd like a recommendation of a rom to run that supports the task-list ("Jump") key. That's really useful. I ran CM6 on my Android G1 and it was pretty good, but that was after the G1 was discontinued. Tmobile is *still* advertising the SK4G in the newspaper, and it still crashes doing its own stuff.
Experiencing crashes in various apps. New to this revision.
EOS4 173 - Xoom Wingray
I am also running EOS4 011913 (173) nightly, and I've been experiencing lag in almost every animation - launcher, notification pulldowns, desktop switches, and especially the app drawer opening and closing. These problems were mostly able to be mediated with a combination of a third-party launcher like Nova, and some gentle adjustments to the System/Performance settings in EOS Control Center.
But I digress. My biggest problem is that there is noticeable audio lag, almost everywhere in the system. Music starts a split second after I hit Play, games' sound effects happen just after the events (Jetpack Joyride is atrocious about this one), and most aggravatingly it seems to be cumulative; running an app longer makes the lag worse. Music and videos don't seem to have it quite as bad as games, but it's still noticeable.
I tried to isolate the problem (wipe everything, reflash, try apps without changing anything first) and it's still recurring, as badly as before. I don't want to give up on EOS yet, but to my knowledge after diligent Googling I am the only person who seems to be suffering this sound delay problem.
It is my sincere hope that the devs will pick up on this two-post thread, or that someone more qualified reports this problem somewhere more noticeable.
-K
--EDIT
"Stock" EOS4 173 was still having the audio lag with all the settings default (and I would hope that none of the settings, which are mostly for the interface, would create this lag), but some other users (whom I'd like to thank, but can't) suggested adding the boot.img (kernel) from CyanogenMod 10.1's latest nightly into the .zip for this, and it seems to have worked like a charm. It remains to be seen if the problem will resurface with prodding into the settings (which I'd really like to do!) again, but there it is.
donrull, I don't know if your problem would be fixed by using the different kernel, but it seems to have fixed a multitude of problems for other users
I noticed the same lag in launcher when I still had the Xoom with EOS4, but I kindda found another workaround(there is a set of tweaks mentioned in the main EOS thread which is a little too much modification for me) to that.
The last option in Power options will hide both the status bar and navigation bar, with those bars gone, launcher just becomes "butter" again.
I then used GMD gesture for all the actions and it was much more acceptable to me, hope this helps with the launcher lag for you too
I wanted to return to weigh in on my trial and error process, in the hopes that it helps someone else:
In this order:
Wiped /data, /cache, and the Dalvik cache via CWM Touch Recovery.
Flashed the 'stock rooted' JB 4.1.2 to get root, something that was missing before. I don't honestly know if it'll help these issues, but it seemed relevant that I hadn't done that yet. Worth noting, the stock rooted ROM has the absolute smoothest launcher/desktop/app drawer animations I've seen, even over the stock OTA 4.1.2.
Wiped /data, /cache, and the Dalvik cache via CWM Touch Recovery. (Always, between all flashes.)
Flashed the lastest EOS nightly (20130126-174), followed by the latest Gapps package (20130105). Launcher/desktop/app drawer lag was back, and my earlier mentioned SEVERE audio lag (almost half a second) was back, on the keyboard and in apps.
Nova Launcher with 'Fast/Fast/Jelly Bean' animation settings and all the animation settings in Dev Options set to 0.5x was, and remains, the best-looking solution to the launcher lag. App drawer still has a slight, but noticeable, lag, even with only stock apps inside. Switcher lags, sometimes severely, even when entering or exiting a less intensive app like Google Play Music.
This audio lag, though: It appears to be isolated to EOS's updated Tiamat kernel, as it was fixed (as mentioned earlier) by replacing it with the latest from CM10.1. This fixes the audio lag and slightly alleviates the notification bar pulldown lag, but the launcher/desktop/app drawer still needed Nova to seem close to 'butter' again. This also disables OC, the kernel doesn't support it but EOS's settings will still 'let' you, minus the 'lagfree' governor showing up; the only noticeable effect is about 100MB less available RAM at all times, and choppiness in places as a result.
Mentioned earlier, but the audio and video lag I tested BEFORE I started messing with settings like OC; even a brand-spankin'-new flash of this ROM suffers from it. Mentioned this too, I was using Jetpack Joyride to test, because its sound effects are very punctual. Tried some other apps, they suffer the same lag but I guess it isn't as noticeable. (Fruit Ninja you can hear the fruit being tossed AFTER you see it.) No messing about with the settings seemed to alleviate it, which is why I tried the kernel swap.
So basically where I'm at now is either stock-rooted 4.1.2 that looks and sounds gorgeous, but it feature-barren, or EOS's 4.2.1 that technically runs faster, but looks choppy and awkward and sounds about a half second off at all times, or EOS + CM10's kernel, that splits the difference, still suffering the animation lag and the lack of OC, but with OK audio. After five days of messing with this on 173, and today's struggle on 174, I'm about ready to give up on being 'satisfied' with EOS. I really hope this lengthy post reaches someone who can do something about it, since I am not enabled to post in development forums and cannot privately message anyone just yet.
Edit: the 'stock rooted' update is 4.1.2, not 4.1.1 as I posted previously. This seemed like kind of an important oversight.
I wanted to post this somewhere besides the short, dead-end thread about someone else's struggle with apps crashing under EOS4.
This is not exactly a question nor an answer, just information that I really hope reaches the devs who can do something about it.
