[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?

what lagfix did u use

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.

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.

Ok so....i found the

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.

Left Vibrant, New to G2X

He all! I just my G2X today and was wondering. Is it worth rooting yet with no cusom roms available? And if so, can someone point me in the right direction to accomplish this?
I came from the Vibrant and dont know where to start.
Any help, input and direction is greatly appreciated.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

Welcome to the club I was also a Vibrant owner before this.. So here is some quick info that may help save you some time searching.
If you plan on keeping the phone I would root it to get rid of unwanted apps but that is each users own opinion. If you do want to root it I would read this thread to make it easy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039985
Also if you want to add ClockworkMod Recovery all you need to do is get the newest version of rom manager off the market and select flash ClockworkMod Recovery and the G2X will be the third device down.
After that set back and wait for the custom roms to show up and you will be ready to have all kinds of fun
Hope that helps *some*

uhm. I thought clockwork wasn't ready for us thru rom manager yet?
has it been updated?

So that means that we can create a Nandroid Backup? or the mounted internal memory as sd card will be a problem?

I knew to just wait and it would be a easier way to get clockwork recovery on my g2x using one click root v1.7 because the latest version 1.8 didn't work.plus I heard cyanogen mod 7 is only a couple weeks away

Nevermind....found it

Well I just double checked and it still does not detect internal sd card.. Wanted to post this as soon as double checked as I was using my external. let me look through it more and I will keep you updated

Thanks for the friendly welcome and replies. Im gonna check out that link.
edit:
i downloaded all requested files. when i plug in my phone it starts to read it correctly but then i get a window saying it did not install properly. i clicked root anyway and it wont get past "waiting for phone". did i do something wrong?

[Q] Problem with mounting SD card and Internal SD

Hey guys, just recently got a G2x coming from a MT4G.
I'm on the latest CM7 nightly and for some reason I'm having a big problem getting both of my SD card and internal memory to mount. I know I have the drivers installed as I had to do so to be able to root the phone.
I plus the phone into the comp via USB and my computer doesn't read anything.
Even when I go to the latest CWM recovery (5.0.2.6) and go to Advanced and mount my USB through there it still doesn't read it.
Any reason why this is doing this?
I mounted it fine when I was on stock ROM yesterday, but having no luck mounting it now.
Any response would be greatly appreciated!

Are you using the same USB cable? Same USB port as the one that worked yesterday?

I know fauxs aosp rom doesn't have this problem and I think it should mount both sdcards on recovery mount storage,not too sure if it will mount internal SD on latest nightly while phone is on with debugging.

Yeah I tried it while debugging was on and off and no luck. So I just gave up and flashed WeaponG2x and it worked perfectly.... Now I just tried EaglesBlood and it still won't work!
This is so frustrating... I'm loving the phone so far but this is killing me.

Yea I hear ya, I hate how they partition these phones internal storage. Pretty much everyone that has or uses an android smartphone prefers to buy a much larger external microsd card, be it anywhere from 4-32gb. I'd rather they not partition storage and let us use that space for installing apps/games on internal then put our music or movies/media on external sdcard.
Plus issues like these where USB drivers wont detect the internal/external sdcards is very annoying and confusing when coming from a phone like we had.

Yep exactly, very poor driver support from LG, read up on it on the general section and even here on q/a threads, there's tons of people that have had these issues.
Could have been avoided too if LG wouldn't have messed with the internal storage I bet.

Stock GB Cam on CM7?

I was wondering if it would be possible to install the stock GB camera from the 2.3.3 update on CM7. I find that the stock GB cam focuses properly, and takes pictures quicker than the CM7 camera app. I tried pulling the APK from the stock ROM and installing it via Root Explorer and changing permissions, but it keeps force closing on me. Any tips?
Thanks!
Also, I searched, and couldn't find a thread on this. So don't try being a douche.
Edit: I pulled the Camera.apk from an official 2.3.7 Nexus S 4G ROM, and I pushed it via ADB. It installed, and runs just fine. Only thing is that it only has the option for 5MP pictures, and VGA for the front cam.

Did u try a TB backup? Just a thought but probably wont work. Cyan themselves would probably have to make it work for you or donicqq since EB is Cm based

Also. What do you mean by "changing permission"? Similar to fix permission from rom manager or CWM recovery method?

In root explorer, you can assign permissions to apk files to get them to install to the system

I have done every thing you have done and the same outcome. I downloaded both zips from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166531 (GB and CM7) taking a look at them now to see if i can figure something out. one idea is if you have DSIXDA's android kitchen you could swap the files around. it is a little more in depth then that but that is another idea. what rom are you running? 7.1.0.1? post back if i find more.

Back to topic: I have not been able to figure out how to port the camera. I know there is more to it then just swapping out the .APK's. I am sure buildprop or something needs edits to make it work.

jt1134 said:
Here's a preview build now that my source tree is mostly sorted out: http://www.mediafire.com/?1nhagihfoqqpkf3
To flash, you must first flash this recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/?2000k5y512spft4
Then boot into recovery, wipe data/cache, go to mounts and storage and format system, then flash the rom. Gapps are here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip . You'll probably have to mount system manually under mounts and storage before flashing gapps.
I've only tested this using gingerbread bootloaders, no idea if it works using froyo bootloaders. If you don't want to deal with the caveats of gb bootloaders, then well, fix it yourself.
what works:
radio (calls/sms/data)
touchscreen
audio
wifi
sensors
hw acceleration
software and hardware video decoding
data usage monitor (for wifi at least)
what doesn't work:
camera/camcorder
bluetooth
anything else is either broken or completely untested.

How long did it take you all to get off of the initial Samsung logo at start up to the cm9 boot animation after flashing? It has been roughly 10 minutes so far and it hasn't moved. My recovery is all screwed up with funny colors, but it's nice to know that others have encountered the weird recovery as well... was on Devestion before following the steps for flashing cm9.
