I've had my vibrant about 3 weeks and its been rooted since the first day i've had it.....but now i notice a lag...particularly sliding between home screens. i've only installed about 5 apps plus the neccesary ones for root (Rom Manager, Root Explorer, Titanium Backup). So far i've only uninstalled and deleted The Sims 3 for TMobile. I've read about lag-fixes but i'm not sure if i need it. Would removing more of the bloatware that came with the phone speed it back up or should i apply a lag-fix....and if so which one is the best? Thanks in advance
Go to the market and search one click lag fix (app) thatz what i used it rooted my phone and applied the lag fix. Look for it on here the dev name is ryanza

Thanks....downloading now....but my phone is already rooted....will this app un root it when I install it?
You running Touch Wiz and many Widgets? I turned off the widgets and or I switched to Launcher Pro and I don't really experience any lag. Honestly I think all those lag fixes are over rated and many have suggested that after a week or so the lag comes back even worse.
No it will not un root your phone. Ryanza's lag fix will really speed things up.
ok....thanks for your input guys....i'll try it out and if it starts to lag again then i'll just remove it....thanks again guys
Not sure if this is the right place for this question I have ryanzas lag fix do I have to undo it to receive the ota update? Or can I leave it I'm also rooted but not through the lag fix i rooted though the update.zip cause I have no computer any help is appreciated
The guy on the couch
Yes you will get the update. But i suggest uninstalling the lag fix just to be safe the update goes well. Use the lag fix app in the market to remove lag fix if no computer
Can I leave the root or should I just unroot to also be safe? I'm trusting the guy with the t mobile emblem lol

Okay so before OTA I should remove my OCLF?
Sent from my Vibrant
I can't remove my OCLF I tried uninstalling it using App Brain and it said unisntall successful. but if I run the quadrant benchmark test, I'm still getting in the 2100 range so I know it's still working. So I just re-installed it...Dang. I really wanna know how to uninstall it!
according to the t-mobile forum it is recommended to disable the lag fix. I kept the app on the phone and just disabled the lag fix. It also stated that even though root on phones as long as they have stock kernel it should still OTA fine. This is just from other users on the forum so nothing has been said straight from t-mobile themselves on that.
For what seems like the umpteenth time (mainly thanks to the problem that the SGS II has with it overheating so bloody much which in turn causes a ****load of constant reboots and force closes of all the files on the device!), I had another constant batch of force closes which as usual would force me to do a reinstall of all my Apps (fortunately I usually back up with Titanium Backup PRO).
In any case, I have a new problem in that when I try to root the phone, supposedly it works and yet, I can't get a 3G signal to access my Google account and also, when I skip using the Google account, the main screen keeps opening and closing on itself without loading the icons.
When I access the phone, it usually has a fully-working wallpaper and lock screen.
I keep worrying that it might be something to do with the battery that I got with the phone being a huge pile of crap that drains too quick and which results in problems with the phone.
If anyone can point me in the right direction to fix my problem and help me root once more I usually use Odin and Super One-Click), please let me know.
Why are you using super one click to root ? when all you need to do is flash rooted kernel and be done.

I still use SuperOneClick as I thought you had to re-root every time I re-flashed using Odin.
In fact, how do I flash a custom ROM as it looks like the only way I can fix my problem with the overheating is by using one...
I recently rooted my revo and never really done a lot to it but uninstalled a lot of bloatware that I had found in these forums as being safe to remove. My problem is that the other night I went to download a new runner game and noticed that it wouldn't work, just sound no screen. So I tried to play Temple Run 2 which had worked previously, now it no longer would play. Naught no longer played either, I just then downloaded several of the 100 series games and they won't play as well. Can someone help me and tell me what I may have uninstalled that is causing this to happen and how I can fix it?
Still looking for a possible answer to this question, any running game I try doesn't work, yet it will play Angry Birds or games like where's my water.
I'll be honest: I have no idea what went wrong.
But, some useful debugging ideas, maybe?
1) Happen to have a Nandroid of pre-root/pre-debloat? It might be one of the things you thought was bloatware. Maybe, then, debloat and test after a few?
2) How did you root? Did you install a new ROM (which could be causing issues) or some root injection method like CF-Auto-Root, which is less likely to cause a weird issue like this.
3) Just games? No other apps? Do all of your apps that don't work have a commonality? Like they use OpenFeint or something?

No I never installed a new ROM, I actually used a one click method, it took me days to find one that actually worked. I don't have none of the things you have listed. No other apps appear to be harmed, the only games that are harmed the infinite runner type games and Naught. The runner games load with sound but no video, Naught begins to load and then it just stops. I did do a restore with clockmod. I had set up a back up after I had uninstalled a few basic things such as bing, the games on it and things like that. My girls actually played the games after my first round of uninstalling bloat. I never noticed the problem until I got bloat freezer and began to experiment, I actually froze the sync program and google+ and then I noticed that my contacts was deleted and I lost them all, after I went back thru my numbers and renamed them, only after I unfroze both, did I start checking things and those games where what I found that never worked anymore. Where could I find a debloat program for my revo, it's the v9 one. Was hard enough finding a root program, as I am not very inclined in programing. Wondering tho if I where to do a factory reset it should fix it shouldn't it, but will I lose my root, synced emails and other thing, I know I can move my programs to the SD.
Right. Titanium Backup is a very reputable debloater. Maybe try that instead and maybe others remove things that don't cause issues for them, but for you?
You could try reinstalling the games, too? Using Titanium Backup, you can keep your progress by backing up all the games' data.
A factory reset might work, but your root may remain as it is integrated into the system. The absolute fix is flashing the stock ROM.

Well I have restored everything that I can restore using TB and CWM I lost all the tweaking and custimizing that I had done but still the running games or Naught won't play, tried uninstalling and reinstalling all them more than once.
Was hoping that if I did do a factory reset that I did keep my root, don't want to lost it because I think my gf deleted the file from the desktop that it took me days to find LoL. Does a factory reset back up unistalled programs or do you know, I've never flashed a ROM but I can learn anything. I want my phone rooted and custimized the way I want plus as you may know the revo sucks in the processor, ram and battery life department, but I'm stuck with it for another 8 months cause I'm to tight to buy one that isn't free with my contract or cost less than $100. Wishing I would have just spent 80$ and got me a Motorola Razr Maxx HD like the one I got my gf. Rooted it and have had no problems with it so far:victory:

Shucks, sorry to hear that! Hmm...restored everything = from a Nandroid backup? So, you're now at a Nandroid backup where the games used to work, but they don't? That's odd....what partitions did you back up? I'm curious if you somehow flashed a kernel that OC/OV'd your CPU or GPU and that is causing issues--but, one-click roots shouldn't do anything like that.
Check out this write-up on Android partitions (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...plained-boot-system-recovery-data-cache-misc/). It'll show that a factory reset wipes data, so it'll uninstall apps, but root is in /system, so you're OK there.

Well on TB I just restored some of the items that I actually did back up. Nothing fancy on those, and with CWM all it said was to restore from SD card saved backup. It's a version where I must boot into CWM and it appears as tho it's in terminal mode. Far as flashing or anything else the only thing that I really did that may have done anything was installed a cpu governer so I could overclock, nothing fancy there either just set it to 1.02 GHz ondemand and that's all. Tried turning it off, setting it to performance and lower cpu speeds and still got the same thing.
So a factory reset will basically just uninstall the programs I have put on it, delete my data that's not on SD but does it reinstall the bloat that I removed that I may have lost hmmmm.
turns ttlinko

Ok I don't know if your still reading on this thread. But I just installed Dead City, it plays great, I also installed a shark evolution game. When it loads up the screen appears scrambled out. Do these games work from flash for some and another type of player for others?
Sorry guys, don't flog me too hard. I'm totally new to all of this stuff, I went through the process and rooted my tab using magisk and now that its done have no idea how to go about deleting all the apps and bs that I don't want residing on my tablet, I had no plans on using this tablet, its been sitting in a drawer unused since the wife upgraded but I read about how to use an unused android to control my 3d printer and was intrigued.
Is there an app I use or what? I'm totally green to these sorts of things and honestly if it wasnt for a youtube video guide I never would have made it this far.... What's next in the lineup to make the root worth while?
Guessing to debloat you need help, l'd say use A7cleanup.sh if you don't want to risk file system and just improve performance.
Also make sure to disable Knox that also helps with smooth performance.
