One Click Lag Fix - Captivate General

I have been running Designgears' Cog 2.2 Beta 7 since it was first released. Generally I liked the ROM. I liked how it had the touchwiz apps, with the exception of the crappy Touchwiz launcher. However it wasnt as fast or the battery didnt last as long as the stock JH7 that I migrated from. Every now and then I'd notice it would "bog down" or start lagging really bad. Like 5-10 second delays from when I clicked an icon to when the program opened. I finally downloaded and installed the One Click Lag Fix from the marketplace. It took several attempts to fully install the 2.2+ lag fix, it kept freezing up my entire phone. But once it finally installed, holy $hit the phone is fast now! No lag at all, apps open instantly and they fly.
Only thing I dont like about it is the fact that I couldnt get a partition larger than 848MB to create, and now I have only 545MB of app storage space where as before the lagfix there was 1.8GB of app storage space.
Overall, its a big speed booster. Quadrant scores went from 900-950 before to 1800 or so now. And the real world difference is extremely noticeable. I love it!

It would be best if you would install a rom that already has a lagfix pre-installed, that oclf is a half assed attempt on a lagfix. A proper lagfix converts your partition to ext4, oclf only add's an ext2 loopback to the rfs partitions. Get the latest 2.3b8 cognition or any of the newest jpy roms based on the official i9000 froyo build.

I've thought about changing ROM's but I kind of like the appearance of 2.2B7. I like the battery meter the way it is. I also like the fact that its not very far removed from the stock 2.2 that leaked from samsung. I happen to like the Samsung modified apps, like the dialer, the email app, etc. I like samsung's blue highlights vs. the terribly ugly green highlights of the stock google apps, that most newer ROM's use. The only thing I dont like about touchwiz is the ****ty launcher and cog 2.2B7 has that removed. Also, I've got tons of apps and have the phone set up exactly how I like it. I dont want to have to go through the entire process of redoing all that after loading a new ROM.
There should be an easier, more seamless way to change ROM's but keep all your apps and contacts, etc. just the way they are.

[Q] I've searched for days for a fast, stable, sense-ui like rom...

OK, I've searched for days to try and find a fast, stable, sense-ui (Theme-wise) ROM that works on the HTC Hero. I've found tons of ROMS for the G1, I've tried the CyangenMod 6 ROM, I've spent hours searching for a good ROM. CM6 is a bit faster, but occasionally it will hang. (A bit better than stock 2.1) I don't like that a lot of apps don't work (After downloading an app and installing it, you can't click open or find it in your apps list) and I don't like that the fact that you can't group your contacts or have the Sprint/HTC widgets work. (The only widgets I use are the clock and the email, messages, and voice mail widgets that show how many you received.
Please let me know if you use one like that you can recommend.

For a good sense UI rom I would go with Zen rom. You can find it here.
I've been using this rom NFX-Hero 2.2.1 by nfinitefx45. After playing with other roms and the cyanogen ones, i've come back to this one. I've been running this for a couple weeks and it's pretty smooth and stable. So give it a try. Also, nfinitefx45 is one dedicated developer, he actually visits the thread often and help with answering questions, solving problems/bugs!

+1 nfinite's roms are put together well and are fast yet also solid.
I'm using the cyanogen rom. CM6. It's actually running android 2.2 (froyo) instead of 2.1, and I think it has a better keyboard and runs very well. I use the "digital clock widget", and the weather and "news and weather" widget, I think both are available in the Market, but News and weather came with the rom. I miss the bookmarks and calendar widgets from Sense, but its not worth going back. As far as voicmail goes I'm using google voice to handle my it, and there are widgets for it too.

I use CM6 as well, and prefer it over any sense rom but the OP wanted sense so I thought I'd humor myself
The CM6 with CyanogenSense theme looks and feels like my stock Hero, but runs way faster and has a better battery life. Zen makes a great rom, bit imo the CM6 is the way to go.

I've decided to try making a theme using the tutorial thread number 667951. (I can't post links yet I don't think, so again I'll just use this work around.) That being said, I've decided to stick with NFX-HERO for my ROM since the only thing wrong with it is the boot loop issue which I'm going to try starting from scratch to fix it today. So, the tutorial says that a good starting point for a theme would be to get an existing compatible theme and modify that one. (Great idea in my opinion. I've done this in the past with other phones I had.) Does anyone have an idea of a theme that would be useful for me to start off with? I want to change a lot of things on the phone, so the more intricate the theme is, probably the better.
Also, on a side note, if I remember correctly this thread had 3 pages before the site went down. I'm not sure why it was truncated. If any mods know why, please let me know.

We lost about 2 days posts when the site crashed
i used a theme called blue echo to learn where most things go. and in his rom there is a great vending apk that has the market themed as well. then i took a dialer from one of godzen's and moved it all to compare to my stock 2.1 files and made it work with a rom i am currently running. im just now getting into looking at the apps like clock etc but that was a good start for me since there is alot covered there.
OK, let me ask you this. It'll clear up some things I need to know on compatibility. What makes a theme compatible with one ROM and not another? Likewise, what makes an app compatible with one ROM and not another? Is it the structure? If so, how? I'm a computer programmer, but even though android phones are quite similar to a Linux system on a PC, I'm still not sure if I understand the compatibility issues behind themes.
Also, just so I don't have to post again to ask this in case it's relevant, are Blue Echo and GodZen's dialer compatible with NFX? I downloaded them, but it never said anything about NFX. Is NFX similar to Sprint's 2.1 in the sense that it will run any themes I make for NFX?
well the Rom im using is mostly stock so the framework and htc.resource files are the same. for say CM6 (and i havent looked into it just a example) may have say the status bar grey and i want black. in the stock i would change the statusbar_bkg file in the framework.apk folder but in CM6 it may be in the same plae with a different name or the same name in a different place or just non existent all together. as for if they are compatible the only way to know is to try. the only way to know for sure is to open them compare and replace what you need in the correct order. also i use metamorph to apply themes. you can find it in the market. but the Vending.apk theme must be pushed with adb for some reason or it will crash the market.
matter of fact now that i think of it, the Rom im using is about to incorporate NFX. go here and you an see my post where i put what i transfereed over and they should work as i think NFX is mostly a stock (so to speak) Rom.

You are using a Hero, right? Not a G1? That would explain the boot loop issue you had with NFX.
NFX-HERO was listed in the Hero ROMs section. You sure it's only for G1? Would another phone's ROM actually even flash to a different phone properly? I mean it works, but with boot loops.
Yes they will but may it may not work. And I'm sure that Rom is for a hero and I would flash over and look for myself but I have been threw like 5 Rom's today and just got it back normal lol.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
OK, so today I had a chance to wipe and flash the NFX-HERO ROM again. Now the phone seems a bit more stable. I can boot it and it boots all the way up fine and I can click "Shutdown Phone" and have it shutdown without freezing and rebooting, but now right now I've spotted only one flaw. When I use the phone in disk drive mode, but then pull the USB out of the phone without switching it back to charge only, and it freezes and reboots on me. (This happened last time.) I've also noticed that the phone gets increasingly more unstable as time goes on, so I wouldn't doubt that it would do this even more later on.
Correction, no matter what I do, to remove the USB when I use it as a disk drive, the phone freezes and reboots.
Update again: I decided to use RegawMod instead. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661991) It's super fast, no bugs from what I can see, highly compatible, and it looks slick! I even used a mod to turn my dialer pink. lol I can see this being my ROM of choice for a long time. The only thing I didn't like was that it was lacking the Google Navigation tools, so I installed GoogleApps.apk (If you're looking for this file, just Google GoogleApps.apk) from another ROM and rebooted me phone (So it would show up) and then it worked just fine. I'm not sure why it isn't showing local listings for destinations first, but that may be just because it didn't catch the GPS location right off the bat. I did set my location settings to being shared.
There is a pink theme in 2.1 catalog if i remember right. If you like pink that might be a good start for you to move the files around to see how they are built.

Haha... I see how that can be misinterpreted.
Yeah, NFX is a Hero ROM, I was asking if you were trying to flash it on a G1, because if you were, it wouldn't work.
I like Regawmod 2.1. Fast with a nice dark theme. Based off of damage control. Just my two cents.

[ROM/MOD/AWESOME]MeatRom v106 Updated 2-14-11

This is just a simple, basic rom, I've been using it a few days and a couple people have tried it. It uses a stock deodexed system with some of the sprint and samsung bloatware removed. I've added a few apps that I often use, and a couple I don't. This should work with both rfs and ext4 file systems, and uses the edify script so its flashable via cwm3.
I wont be adding any themes or anything fancy to this, its just a slightly modified stock system, but it runs pretty strong. So, don't expect super beautiful. The boot animation is just a basic flashing android logo, however you should be able to insert your own if you would like.
I personally don't use the ATK as the phone manages memory fine on its own, but for those who need it, or if you have pesky apps that need killed its there. Linpack is there if thats your thing.
As with anything regarding flashing custom anything, you assume the risk. Always keep a recent backup, and know that your warranty is void (If you didn't already know this, you should now)
I'll be adding and removing stuff as I see fit, and I work at my pace.
Things I've added
The recompiled libdvm, seems people are seeing benefit from it so I added it here.
Dameon's ext4/rfs kernel
The stock deodexed and zipaligned /system from ACS
Spare parts
Zeam Launcher
Gingerbread Keyboard (multi touch support)
Things I've removed
Most of the samsung/sprint bloatware
Touchwiz launcer. (Zeam and the Froyo launcher are both on the phone, if you don't like zeam its in /system/apps, remove it)
Stock Email.apk - Will be added in 106
Memo.apk
ThinkFree Office
Samsung's Keyboard
Swype
Boot animations
Boot animation sound
Change Log 106
added the stock email.apk back
changed my edify script to fix issues with cwm3
added the tutorial on first startup so google backup works if you use it - I know its a pain in the butt the first time around, but worth it.
I would like to personally thank Ften for letting me borrow some space on his website, there are space constraints, so I will only have the latest there, if you need a previous version pm me here, or at www.sdx-developers.com my screen name there is MeatCurtains.
Change Log 107
Minor changes
Removed some of the "useful" apps I added
Removed Facebook, Memo, and ThinkFree Office
Removed Swype and Samsung's keyboard
Added the Gingerbread keyboard
Boot animation sounds should also be removed
I was going to remove Launcher2 (Stock Froyo launcher)but left it just in case someone needs a backup launcher. Will be removed for sure on my next release for sure
Again, I didn't make any crazy changes, system is still fairly stock save for the DVM.
107 on will be available at the sdx-downloads link provided.

The name is based off of my typical screen name of MeatCurtains. I've used the Meat[kernel, rom, mod, ect] naming for a while now. I just stuck with it.
The inches idea will be pondered
As you know, but for records, installed from 2.5.1.2 on Bonsai4all with ext4 without without wiping anything and got Gmail force closes. Wiped data/cache/dalvik and reflashed, no change. Finally, odined to stock dk28 and reflashed as rfs (too lazy to do ext4 conversion) and reflashed and no issues whatsoever. Great rom man!
This is JesterCorp... talked earlier on freenode, just an update.
flashed to dk28 with odin then updated to the latest cwm that isnt 3.0 and installed meatrom, seems to be working great. Not sure why things were weird the other route. Thanks for all the help

That's odd, I flashed over bonsai and had no issues at all (save for the gmail one which I believe was due to me forgetting to wipe data/cache/dalvik and thus no fault of yours). To add to my parenthetical statement, the fact that I had ONE force close after doing that is just a confirmation of how well built your rom is man. Great job, I love it. If I wasn't getting an Evo tomorrow I'd be running it and I'll be suggesting it to the guy I'm trading with lol
Anymore feedback? I need to know what is broken before I can fix it for the next release.
Also, I will probably be adding rom manager support for updating through clockworkmod
thanks for going out of your way to create this rom
The only real complaint i have is that for whatever reason i cant seem to get the call log to view by "all calls" instead i have to do all logs... which shows text messages in the call log. Maybe im just doing it wrong, but ive never had any other rom get stuck on all logs before.?? I really like it so far otherwise tho.
thanks!

Glad to see you over here Meat (followed your moment stuff when I was setting up my gf's moment)
and slight tangent from the OP, but everytime I see the rom version 105.1, I can't help but hear the station jingle from a local station in RDU. "105.1... G105" except "105.1 Meat 105" keeps creeping into my head.
Anyways... as you were, folks.
This rom does not flash thru cwm 3.0.5 I wiped data cach and dalvik 2 x and still end up on,the same rom previously installed quantum2.7 or bonsai 1.1.4 same result any suggestions

So I have been on DI18 for a week but now need flash again for a poker app I want to try so I am downing this now. I am interested in trying the dvm also. One question, you think about turning on the auto market update thing like when the phone is new? It makes it easier when it downloads all my paid apps for me, or maybe you know how I can turn that on myself? Is it in build.prop?
Glad to see some Meatware on the epic front

Like MIUIXT's Speed but hate the UI, what to do??

as title suggested, I have been enjoying the MIUIXT, it is the most reponsive n stable rom out of all other I have used, including, Dexter 1.3 + bugfix v3, CBW 2.2, wanhu, 2.1 Strikes back
the problem is I hate the Setting Menu, Option Menu, Lock Screen so much, does anyone how have them back to Stock Android ?
or is there other rom has the same Stability and Speed ??
After a lot of testing the only one that has the same speed (if not faster) is eclair strikes back imo. Unfortunately it has stability issues sometimes (freezes fairly often). I'm on it right now.
I've used every ROM including WanHu and Khal WanHu.
v4
you can try khals v4 rom. its good with a little overclocking and also has a LOT of free ram. didnt bother using swap. very responsive for me and very few FCs too. the most stable rom. its as good as, if not better than miui on my phone.
WanHu is just as speedy

I'd agree with that. I find Wanhu's to be very responsive + the FM Radio volume works, the Media key works & magnification during cursor positioning works. Personally the MIUI Lock screen & responsiveness are the only things I really liked about MIUI.
You can change menu in setting to get the android style, use other launcher and custom your lock screen. It will be fine.
But i think you should try Wanhu.
lol, guess I need to move back to froyo: http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-android-market-for-phones-with.html
You know what I find it hilarious? People talk about fragmentation in android a lot, but the only apps/things that are froyo+ exclusive that I want are google ones (new market, music, youtube, gmail). Google is the one who is making everything fragmented for me lol.

Bingo. I couldn't care less about flash. I found the lack of animated .gif more annoying than lack of flash.
Yeah, right after I first installed 2.2 I immediately installed flash because that's what everyone talks about for 2.2. I uninstalled it a few minutes later, wondering what use I have for it on my phone (only slows things down).
Anyways I guess I'm gonna put MIUI on again. WanHu and Khal's ROM are good, but for some reason don't play nice with my fav app SPB shell 3D and MIUI seems a bit faster I think. Just don't like all the IOSy stuff, but what can you do... Bah, I wish someone would get some progress with CM7 already. Wish there was a way to get a bunch of experienced devs to just port it easily lol.
i'm back to MIUI from WanHu, MIUI runs more smooth and faster. My apps run all fine on MIUI.

[Q] If I install a new kernel?

Hey guys!
I have a rooted Samsung Infuse (AT&T) and I managed to flash it to Infused v2.2.3.
In my settings it tells me my kernel version is 2.6.35.7-I997RUXKG3-CL366622.
I have a couple of questions. <-- N00b
First, if I install/flash a new kernel will all my information get deleted like a wipe?
Second, is the kernel I have the stock kernel or no?
Third, which kernel could I flash/use to improve battery life and/or work well with Infused?
I kind of shot myself in the foot when I flashed to Infused because I only made a Titanium Backup of my info and didn't know I would lose all my texts/notepad notes/ recent contacts/ etc.
If I flash back to stock and restore the Titanium Backup will all of those things be back?
Thank you for the responses in advance.

Kernels won't wipe data.
Infused has a mildly customized kernel - I think it's using LinuxBozo's Hellraiser kernel in newer versions. It's not stock.
Any Gingerbread kernel can be used with Infuse - my Daily Driver, bedwa's Infusion, etc. If you undervolt with mine you might see some SMALL improvements in battery life - the settings I use drop the CPU core power usage by 5-10% at most though, and don't drop anything else.
As to the backups:
Calls and text can be backed up by SMS Backup and Restore and Call Logs Backup and Restore by Ritesh Sahu (on the Market)
If you go back to stock, you MIGHT be able to restore the lost info and then back it up in a more portable way. Normally you only want to restore missing apps and data in TiBu, but if you go back to the EXACT ROM (in your case stock) that you backed up from, you might be able to restore system data without breaking stuff.
Entropy, thanks so much man!
That pretty much answers all of my questions perfectly.
The whole process seemed like it would go over my head at first with all the abbreviations and stuff, so this is a breath of fresh air to know that it's not as complicated as it seems and there's helpful people like you around.
Couple of more questions, while I've got your ears, if you don't mind.
I read a little bit about 99 Tweaks and more or less get the installation process.
Do YOU approve or see it as useful/working?
Also, where could I find more info on Cyanogen 7 Mod that you have on YOUR Infuse?
I'd like to see what that looks like and find out how to install it to see if I like that or Infused better.
One of the big reasons is that I'm not sure if it's my battery that's just bad, but if I used my phone moderately during the day (when it was on stock software) the battery would be down to like 30 percent or lower by like 1 or 2 P.M.
But also I'm not too fond of the fact that I can't add an email option to the dock in the Infused rom...it only gives me Phone, App, and Internet icons on the dock.

Go to the Applications, press menu, view type (or something) customizable grid. Stay in applications, press menu, press edit, move icons to/from dock. I keep it in Alphabetical when I'm not moving things from the dock though.

Hmmm..thanks JWL but for some reason I don't have that edit option when I go into the Applications screen...
Checked all over and can't find anywhere to customize the dock..
Including a picture to show the bottom..excuse the off colors I think the screenshot app messed it up.
It depends on which Launcher you use on whether or not you can edit the Dock. From the look of it, the dock that you are using is not editable.
But you have a total of five screens that yu can put your shortcuts/widgts on. Tapping one of those small dots next to the dock brings you to another window. From there go to your apps and press and hold an icon to move it to that window.
Try Launcher Pro from the Market. It will allow you to edit the dock as well as giving you a scrollable dock that adds extra pages.
Or go in to System/manage apps. Click all at the top. Look for Launcher, they'll be at least two. Touch to open, in Launch by default "Clear Defaults" is highlighted, touch it to clear the default.
Now back out and once you're at your home screen, touch the Home Button. This should bring up at least three different launchers to choose from.
Hey, thanks Glenn!
I'm aware that I can use the other screens to put shortcuts, I was just used to the stock Froyo software that allowed me 4 dock spaces.
And what's this launcher you speak of?
I haven't seen much mention of this and not quite sure what it is/does?
I think that when I first installed Infusion it kept giving me the option between Launcher and TWLauncher until I made Launcher default...
[Edit] - Nevermind Glenn, I got it just the way you told me.
Looks like regular Launcher gives me that 3 dock Home page while the TW Launcher gives me back the 4 dock customizable one...Thank you very much for this info.
Sorry for double post, but Glenn you're a life saver!
Launcher Pro was exactly what I needed... scrollable and customizable dock is amazing and exactly what I needed.
My one last question is if I should remain with the Infused kernel or should I flash to Entropy's?
If I just flash to Entropy's and leave as is will I notice any improvement in anything?
Download sgs kernel flasher from the market..... This will easily allow you to flash different kernels back and forth.
First make a backup of your current kernel.
Download whatever kernel you want to try then go back to sgs kernel flasher and choose the kernel you downloaded.
Try a couple of different ones out and see which one works best for you.
I use bedwa's GB kernel.... Though I'm overclocked to 1.6ghz and still get great life, you can keep it at 1.2 and get even better.
I have also heard good things about Entropy's daily driver, so give that one a whirl too...

What SSJ_Gomike said. I was using CWM-infused-v2.0.1-kernel, but just switched to Entropy's daily driver just to see which my phone likes the best. I also like to have a boot animation which the CWM didn't seem to have.
Planning on trying bedwa's GB kernel next.
You can keep these in your download folder and as SSJ_Gomike said, use sgs kernel flasher to easily switch between them.
Alright, first of all, I'd like to thank you guys for the tremendous amount of support.
I successfully installed Entropy's daily driver kernel and I must say that my phone is running ultra fast
and I really appreciate the fact that the battery charges a lot faster.
The only thing that gets me is that I didn't charge my phone overnight and it went from 100 percent to 77 by the time I woke up.
Any thoughts?

Stock Gingerbread EP1W .APKs wanted!

I really would love it if someone could upload all the APKs found in the stock system of EP1W. I'm on Infinity Beta, and I want to replace the browser with the stock one because its a lot smoother. I also want to relace the MyFiles app so I can use that for my non-root needs (I use it because all the free non root file managers are ugly and I prefer to use it over Root Explorer which is what I use for root files). And I may want to add other apps that I don't remember off the top of my head.
Thanks!!
I don't have the one's from EP1W anymore, but I have the one's from EP3HA, which will also work, and are either the same as the EP1W or should in theory be improved. They are uploading now, I'll update my post when they are ready.
EP3HA Stock Apks
There you go.
Thanks!
Thank you!!
The only reason I asked for EP1W over EP3, was because I thought they wouldn't work, but they are supposed too, so I get the best of both worlds: My favorite rom and the newest apps!
Thanks again!
Quick Question about the broswer:
In the browser from EP3, it doesn't actually scroll or pinch to zoom, it just shows up afterwards. This happened on a different EP3 rom (Humble, I believe), but not on stock EP3, does it need any special libs or something? Or is it just the EP3 browser when put on a different rom?

I tried it on stock, works fine, actually works very well compared to the older versions the phone had. It even has overscroll glow effect (of course its yellow...) I don't know why it wouldn't work with other roms.

No, it did work, it just didn't show scrolling or zooming. It just showed what happened afterwards. Which is useless because then you don't know where your zooming or scrolling to.
But, it doesn't really matter, imnuts said to expect an updated Infinity rom based off of EP3, I just hope he uses the stock browser. I love the TW 4 theme and its the fastest gb rom (to me), so even if he does, I'm still going to use it.
