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.

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
mount -a
rm /data/system/batterystats.bin
1. If an apps icon is on the status bar, but I don't see the app in the running services list, then is the app actually running in the background and using CPU or is the icon on the status bar just a shortcut so that you can access it quicker?
2. Does the Map app use up a lot of battery and CPU? To me, it seems like when I use System Tuner Pro to prevent it from starting up, it saves battery and doesn't show up in the running services anymore.
3. Right now I am running Hellfire Phoenix_v2.1 with the Trinity ELP kernel and I can't get certain games like Plants vs Zombies to open up, it'll just stay a black screen when I open it, I've cleared data and cache, reinstalled it, nothing works. And so, I even resorted to flashing the Trinity T15 kernel, still doesn't open. I was wondering is that an app problem or is it my phone? Speaking of games, what happened to Monopoly? It seems to have disappeared from the Play Store.....

1. If your running CM7/9 try swiping the notification in question. If it slides away then the program does not have to be running. If you can't slide it away then an app is running.
2. If you have no adverse effects by freezing the app, then there's no harm in doing it. if you see a battery improvement then keep doing it.
3. it's a known issue with Morfic's kernels that done games don't startup like that, if its a really big deal then switch kernels.

Hello,
I have been struggling with this issue forever. I am using my Google nav app and all of a sudden it freezes barely updating with CPU @100%. I have tried different options using 3g instead of 4g, not using bluetooth, not starting nav when CPU is busy nothing has worked. All of a sudden either at the start or during a navigation session the CPU will go up to 100% and the app will stop updating and if I am driving I left without directions until I reboot. Huge headache. I used different system monitors like 'WatchDog Lite' and 'System Tuner' and those apps say that the most CPU consuming process during that time period is 'Android System Process'. I have no clue as to what 'Android System Process' is doing during that period of time except it is taking a large amount of CPU.
Only option left is to overclock, upgrade to a faster CPU from Verizon or go to Apple IPhone
That's strange, I used the navigation all the time without a problem, besides slow locks. Have you tried clearing the app data, sounds like its the app itself misbehaving.

I haven't had an issue like that and its definitely abnormal. Have you tried installing a ROM like Tweaked or a kernel like PBJ?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
I had the same problem before I rooted and installed my first ROM. No problems since then. Recommend you root, install Tweeked or Eclipse and PBJ, also don't undervolt too much. You're headache should stop. I haven't had that happen to me in long long time. I'm a truckdriver and use the maps quite often.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA
I had the same problem star up all of a sudden a month or two ago. Google maps would just close by itself, and nav would freeze while driving. While messing around one day, I ended up having to wipe my phone and ODIN stock, re root, and put Tweaked 2.1 ROM on it again, and restore all my backed up apps. To my pleasant surprise Google maps and nav are working flawlessly now.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA
I have been partially able to fix the problem. One I downloaded Copilot Live as a navigation app which uses offline maps instead of downloading maps on the fly like google nav. However, still my phone used to lag close to 20-30 seconds when I would go to my home screen and similarly when I went to my application lists. I was using Seepu so I could see that my CPU was at 100% all the time. This led me to believe that there might be an issue with my SDCard and hence I downloaded sdbooster https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mehrmann.sdbooster&hl=en .
I saw an amazing performance improvement after I set the cache size to 8192 mb and the lags all but disappeared. However, still when I am on my home screen it sometimes lags 5 seconds which is still infuriating. What the heck is it doing, is it reading apps from the disk?
So I have the i9020T (from Wind in Canada). I enjoyed running CM9 nightlies on it, but then Jellybean came along and I went nutso over it (like so many others). I flashed back to stock ICS, and then ran the OTA update on it to JB.
My experience has been disappointing. It was unfathomably slow. It was running-Windows-7-on-a-Pentium-III slow. The new UI and features are glorious, but I need a lot of patience if I expected to use them. I'm talking about delays of around 5 seconds to start an app, switch apps, or even open the app drawer, 2-3 seconds lag when bringing up the keyboard, and 5-10 seconds to bring up Google Now.
I automatically decided to nuke everything and start from a clean slate. I grabbed the 4.1.1 stock image from Google, then formatted /system and threw it on. After the initial setup, and before I even got to rooting the thing (never mind restoring from Titanium), it was still muscle-atrophyingly slow.
I ended up just restoring all of my apps and data, and using it as-is, figuring this is what I should expect from an older device. Yet everyone online raves about how much faster JB is than ICS on the Nexus S. Either you're all trolling me really hard, or I'm doing something very wrong.
Here's some more gory details:
Like I said, I wiped /system before loading the new image. I did it on the phone using Clockworkmod recovery, then used fastboot from my computer to load the image. I did not wipe data or cache, because I figured the whole image-writing thing would be obliterating all my stuff anyway, but perhaps I was wrong?
I've been playing with the CPU usage overlay, available in the Developer Options. First off, I have no clue what the different colours mean or what scale those bars represent, but I can tell you my load is typically 2.0 (even just sitting there idle with the screen on), all the way up to 15 or so if I'm trying to do something like use Chrome while listening to Google Play Music. system_server is always the top process, and its bar is always 3-4 times bigger than the next, with the sole exception of loading up Google Play Music, in which case the mediaserver process holds the top spot with a fairly long bar. ksmd, com.android.systemui, surfaceflinger, and com.android.phone are always running, but only ksmd even has a bar long enough to be visible. Other processes pop in and out, and of course they start going willy-nilly when I actually start using apps and switching between them.
There have been a handful of times where an app will die while I'm in the middle of using it, and 2-3 times the phone has outright rebooted itself.
So there's my story. Can someone tell me if I'm just plain doing it wrong? Perhaps there's a guide on how to completely sterilize the phone before loading the stock image? Or perhaps my hardware is broken? :-/
I was with you there, trying to figure out why everyone thought it was so fast and I was being left in the dust. Google Now in particular was painful to interact with. I downloaded and installed Air Kernel, which seemed to help a little bit but then I switched the CPU governor from "ON DEMAND" to "SMARTASSV2" and it was like night and day. It's flying and I'm satisfied.
Cool... I'm looking into it, and can't find any directions whatsoever on what I should download or how to install it. I'll keep digging, though. Thanks!
While I am not sure what is causing your issue I can confirm that stock jb should not be performing like you are describing. Except for loading up Google now. That does take some time but even that once its loaded runs OK.
Did you clear your SD card? If not back that up to a computer and wipe it. That's all that I can think of and it may actually fix it.
At first I noticed painfully slow speeds as well. Changing my min setting to 200 helped so much! I've heard the the Interactive governor is amazing with JB in terms of speed. You could try that out.
Nexus S. (GSM i9020a)
Paranoid (1.97 - 4.1.1)
Matrix (CFS - 22.5)
Ondemmand (1000/200)
Deep Idle (On - Deadline)
I've just flashed Air Kernel (I just picked one of four options, I don't know what the heck "blue color" means), then set the governor to smartassv2, and so far it feels snappier. I'll have to keep using it to see if it's the solution I need. Thanks to all who've made suggestions so far!

If your phone is going crazy slow it could be a number of things like apps could be slowing down the phone in the background or the phone might be trying to sync. You could backup all of your apps and then wipe your phone fully it should speed it up quite a bit and then you can restore each app 1 by 1 to determine if its a rogue app causing it. But if you can't be arsed to do that and wipe then just try and flash Thalamus kernel and see what its like if you set the governor to interactive on that it should go crazy fast.

I can see there are many 'fixes' for slow running devices on Jelly Bean. However, I have no idea:
1. how install Air Kernel or where to get it from
2. How to change the CPU governor from "on-Demand" to "SMARTASSV2" or where to download this from
Please can someone give me the complete idiots guide to getting my Nexus S running properly again??
THANK YOU
There are a million guides on this forum for all of this. If you don't know how to flash a kernel or adjust CPU speeds, you need to familiarize yourself with these things and understand the risks. First off, try cleaning your phone up. Take all your important stuff off your external storage, and do a factory reset. My Nexus S never ever ran slow, even on stock.
Have you tried a more simple but fast kernel like marmite 4.2 from bedalus? Give it a try.
Hey guys. This is my 1st post on here so pardon me if it is in the wrong place.
I have been floating around for a long time. Had a Rooted Droid Charge with all kinds of different ROMS thanks to you guys and now I am on to a bigger... meaner phone... the Galaxy S3.
I have the phone rooted on stock
Im using the CleanKernel-V1.2
I can not get the CPU to stay at what i set it.
I have tried multiple different apps such as SetCPU, RomToolBox Pro, ect.
Nothing keeps it at what i set it. If i choose 1.5ghz, it may bump down to 900 or so like 1 min later then suddenly spike to the max of 1.9 (with the modded cleankernel)
I never had this problem with my Droid Charge and this has thrown me for a loop. If anyone has any solutions or idea, please throw em my way.
Thanks guys!

Thanks mate. Ill have to try that out. I was dealing with a wake/sleep issue on my phone today so i never got around to trying this.
No matter what you use if you are looking at it right after flash it will not stick. Some apps like setcpu will show it at 1036 because that is what the kernel auto goes to on opening apps and will show what it opened at and not what it is running. If you play with it right after flash it will be hot and thermald will kick it down also. Let settle and then use app that is recommended for the particular kernel. You can use other apps but they must not lock on open such as setcpu. Also let phone settle after each boot and get full permissions before opening scaling app.
just because you set the cpu to a certain mhz does't mean it will always run at that mhz all the time. Also you should make sure you have set on boot checked.

I do have it set. Always have . I have installed CPU Spy so i can see what my phones always running at. its showing 1512 most of the time. Thats stock kernel, stock everything (rooted). (I had to revert back to stock cause the cleankernel kept giving me lock screen problems. Wish i didnt cause its a great kernel.)
