[Q] Captivate 2.2 [Official] Lag problems

Just finished installing the official 2.2 release on my Captivate (problem free). Before installing I backed up everything to my SD card via titanium, then removed the lag fix, and did a hard reset / format using the dialer code, verified everything was wiped and all the internal storage was wiped clean (although MCR scripts and superuser didn't go away).
first reaction, THE LAG IS HORRIBLE. hoping it was a result of crapware, I rooted via SuperOneClick, reinstalled Titanium from the market, and removed all the ATT crapware, rebooted, and it is no better.
I've restored my apps and everything except facebook contact syncing seems to be working great, but the lag is awful! often I wait 3, sometimes 5 seconds before a screen click is even recognized.
are there any lag fixes that have been tested on, or at least suggested for the official 2.2 release?

I assume you are referring to the one used on 2.1, I don't remember the name, but it used MCR Scripts and was installed with an update.zip. once installed you ran MCR Scripts and "installed" the lag fix with 2 options, either 512mb or 1gb of space, and a third option to remove the lagfix
I ran the remove option before doing the upgrade

I thought I read that voodoo didn't work with 2.2, only 2.2.1

I'm running stock 2.2 with no lag. I formatted my external sd and that fixed my initial lag problem

If i understand you, you had lag problems after upgrading to 2.2, and then resolved them by formatting the external (removable) sd card?

I just upgraded and it seems very snappy to me. It's not my everyday phone anymore so I don't have a SIM or external SD in but from just fooling around with it for about a half hour it moves nicely! About to root now and remove the bloatware

That was solved months ago. Go to the dev section, download the 5.x voodoo + stock KB1 kernel odin file, and flash it on. Phone will take a while to boot back up, but will tell you it is converting partitions to ext4. Once it comes back, you will see the amazing speedup from getting rid of the piece of **** known as RFS.

Is there anyway I can get lagfix by itself? I have no computer so id just like to download to phone, put in root and goto recovery mode.

Reading does wonders for problem solving.

Yes hello I can read. I have NO COMPUTER to run odin on. Is it really that hard to not be a smartass and help someone out???? Really??? If Im still asking obviously im overlooking it. ONCE AGAIN I HAVE NO COMPUTER SO ODIN IS OUT OF THE QUESTION

If its that much of a lag, then something didn't load right. I'm on stock 2.2 wirth no lag. Its just about as fast as oclf. But, if you read the [official] froyo update thread, people kind brush on what ideas to try. Most of them say, like I said, something want loaded right. Good luck.

No ones answering because a search with one word gives him the info he needs. He just refuses to read and wants the info handed to him on a silver platter.

downloaded it
renamed it
put it in /sdcard
rebooted to recovery with CWM clicked reinstall packages
Went through its process and said it failed..could not verify or something. Is this not the way to do it? I did it on 2.1 same way w/eclair approved voodoo and it worked just fine. And I apologize for getting upset its just a little tedious doing all this searching on a small phone screen.

Froyo uses 3e recovery I believe so it will not install any update.zips the only way I know of is using an alternate recovery...a kernel with 2e recovery or going the custom rom route like torch 1.5 or cog 4 in the dev section which use the new froyo

And for your no computer issue...i suggest you find mcdonalds or a neighbor and use the wifi and download one of those custom roms directly to your phone that have a lagfix included with root and no bloat. I do this all the time when I am in the field. Just some suggestions I hole they help and I understand your frustration.

[ROM][CWM] Stock Deodexed Gingerbread KF2 [Root] [6/26]

This is the Gingerbread KF2 leak from Krylon360, I just deodexed, added root and made flashable.
READ: YOU WILL LOSE CWM RECOVERY AFTER FLASHING THIS AND WILL HAVE TO USE ODIN TO CHANGE ROMS UNTIL CWM IS MODIFIED FOR GB
This is completely stock and contains all bloat.
Instructions:
1. Odin Kd1 (easiest method)
2. Boot into CWM recovery
3. Make sure mounts are correct
4. Flash via CWM
This does not fix the rainbow crap and the beginning, just wait it will boot.
Let me know if any bugs are found.
http://www.multiupload.com/7N3R9SBBE3
Thanks to Krylon360 for the KF2 leak and telling me how to add root.
Thanks to Chadster214 for testing.

is there an odin version because i already have gingerbread kf1 but would like to upgrade

I haven't found anything wrong yet besides that rainbow screen.

I also noticed I can't unmount system after trying this 3 times.... I also redownloaded the rom just to be sure I didn't have a corrupt rom. I can't seem to correct the issue.

This is build is not half bad (minus the 800 quadrant scores that I've been getting Seems pretty stable and I've been running it all day. Might keep this as my everyday rom for now!

I truly believe quadrant is wrong this gingerbread runs smoother then any of the other roms I've had lol

Hey dman, I'm a little nervous given the warning on the bootloader download page which indicates you can do serious damage to your phone. I'm have no problem with iphone jailbreaks but just stepped over to the Android side recently and don't wanna do anything stupid.
I'm currently on the CM7 rom, do you happen to know if i'm ok as far as flashing over to your rom without changing the bootloader?

Should be able to...if you run into an issue let me know and well work it out

I searched the entire dev thread and didn't see anyone else reporting this so I think it may be my phone but I can't install anything from the market. So when I tried to get Titanium backup or SGS Kernal flasher or even just update existing apps they all download fine but cause a reboot when they are installing. Any ideas? I tried reflashing already.

Hmmm...idk I have downloaded many apps with no issue...may have to Odin...I posted in op if anyone having major issues I recommend Odin to stock because I have had zero issues...

Hi,dman
I can confirm same problem coming from cathy. I did Odin back to stock then re flash same problem. Then flashed back to Cathy and tried to in stall apps and no problem?? everything else seems to be ok just wont install anything? Banging my head on the wall with this one..

Everything went smooth for me and love the rom a lot more than the previous one I was running. Only problem I have is I get a FC when trying to change the phone or notification tones. Looked through the developer thread and nobody else has mentioned it but that is a problem i'm encountering but no other issues.

Logs provider, is this the modded one or do I need to add it?

This worked- I couldn't edit the file suggested w/out root explorer, which of course I could not download w/out the market. Sort of stuck there in a corner- but I flashed entropy kernel and now I'm fine.
As usual, the ROM rocks socks.

how to add more app at your app drawer? thi is a very noobish question but I'm here reading and sick at the same time so I didn't find anything in the q&a thread nor the dev thread. and nothing that I write makes any sense. Going home pretty soon but since I'm a lil anal about things, I can't leave things half way. like setting up my phone. Pls help. thanks

[Question] Kernel flashing and matrix kernel specifically.

Hello everyone!
Phone: nexus s 3g running stock 4.0.3 with matr1x 14.0 kernel
my 1st question:
i was wondering how can revert back to stock kernel without flashing my stock rom again or going back to my previous backup?
i know it is very easy to switch from kernel to kernel but i would like to know how to switch back to my stock kernel. If you come across a link please send it to me. Thanks much appreciated.
my 2nd question:
my phone reboots the 1st time when loading up matrix kernel.
what happens is i press the power button .. the phone boots up normally then halfway through the animation it gets stuck and the phone reboots BUT this time the boot animation works properly and i am finally booted to my phone. Note that i have absolutely no issues running the kernel + BLn + Voodo etc (also not oced either)
question how can i solve this? is it normal?
I have one last question (sorry lol)
about voodo colour is there anyway of removing the grren flash that i get from unlocking the phone.
i know i can reset to 2.3.3 colours and that does do the trick but i would like to use my own custom settings..

stock 3.0.8 kernel can be found here in 3rd post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399273
Questions regarding matrix should be asked and may already be answered in his thread
And green flash is common on kernels with voodoo it also turns screen green occasionally for me when auto brightness set
not sure how to fix haven't researched doesn't bother me that much
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

Alright...
First off is this a specific rom? Like kustom kream, nexus beam..
Or just stock ics rooted
Second, try this again.
Get the rom zip again, then get the kernel zip again.
1. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache
2. Flash rom
3. Set up rom
4. Go back to cwm
5. Wipe dalvik cache
6. Flash kernel
7. Reboot
Did you do it like that?

is there anyway of fixing without clearing data? i have a lot of stuff on my phone i would rather not erase... also im on stock ICS so how would go about flashing it again(its not like a rom i can just dl and install or is it)?
speaking of which i know titanium backup backs up apps but does it also backup like my contacts, sms and phone settings etc?
update: i went ahead and only deleted cache and dalvik cache and then installed the kernel again. same problem =/

thanks for trying .
anyways the thing is the kernel works perfectly fine other then that and sinc ei dont reboot my phone so much its really not an issue for me.

just another quick thing since that is the only problem i have experienced with the kernel and that everything else is fine working fine should i be worried about stability?

No, the kernel is pretty stable out of the box.

I don't think it'll be an issue.
The reason why I suggested the full method is that it'll ensure a clean install without glitches or heartaches later that will require you to wipe after you set up everything.

Very weird...so I factory wiped/reset, then flashed from blue CWM. It did NOT do any "installing voodoo" like it did when I put on Infused 1.x months ago.
Took about 3 or 4 minutes to boot up, and it seems alright so far.
I'll let you know.

Its probably because voodoo was already enabled...but that's strange...it always reenables voodoo when coming.g from cn7 or miui....
