Lagfix restore ext2 WHAT IS IT ? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

what is it? what does it do? Is it a lagfix or does it restore a lagfix?
What needs to be done before flashing it?
vibrant rooted
macnutR14
super io kernel
2.2 froyo

I would suggest reading the vibrant bible for a little while before asking questions I'm not trying to be an ass but people are sometimes buttholes when they come across things like this I've done it out of frustration before but a lot of your answers can be found in the bible perhaps answers to questions you may not even have yet
testing eugenes ginger clone

OCLF converts the system to Ext2, this is faster than the method the Vibrant uses stock. Because of this you would notice apps opening faster as opposed to the slight delay that MAY be there now (probably not for you so much by looking at your signature).

So lagfix restore is a lagfix?
Do u recommend using it or is there something better out there
vibrant rooted
macnutR14
super io kernel
QS 1127
2.2 froyo

I stopped using oclf today and now I'm using voodoo it seems my phone is faster but I'll need more testing time

Unless I miss my guess, you're refering to the lagfix restore from Eugene for his roms. The short answer is yes, it's a lagfix designed to work only with his roms, although I'm not sure if it's even all of them. Personally, I'd say just go with One Click Lagfix. It's easy, it's in the market, you can't lose

Just got my Vibrant! What is the best lag fix, root, rom, other fixes udpated?

Hi
Sorry to post this questions so please don't reply with search the forum cause I already did. Hard to figure out through so many posts and info
a. I have the lag issue. What is the most updated and safe way to fix this?
b. What is the best way to root the phone?
c. any other fixes I should look into?
d. should I backup all my phone before? how could i do that?
e. what would be the best rom to install?
f. what other things should i keep in mind?
I'm trying not to mess things up cause I'm a newbie and is my wife's phone and that makes me be more cautious. I have a G2 that so far is easier to figure out (no roms or root just temporary )
p.s. if I buy an app can I use it on 2 phones?
easy way:
1. root with oclf (in market)
2. Install rom manager and clockwork recovery.
3. titanium backup (if you want to)
4. ext2 lagfix with oclf
i'm still on stock rooted, but eugene's or bionix roms are the way to go if you want a custom rom.
did you check the vibrant bible thread in general?
I use a one click root method and bionix fusion rom. I just recently started flashing the rom and other software on this phone so I don't have an opinion on other roms, but I couldn't imagine any being significantly better than this. I think most have been refined enough now that it comes down to aesthetic preference and options included.
I tried bionix 1.9.1 which ran well, but fusion made me come to realization that I don't prefer the touchwiz launcher. I currently use fusion with the kingklick kernel overclocked to 1.2ghz. I added the voodoo lag fix last night and I've noticed zero lag or stalling today. Not that the fusion and overclock had lag, but I really just wanted to see how smooth this phone could be. I'm very pleased with the phone now.

would you guys mind to post some links as towards the right threads? Would be less confusion in my head
I appreciate
Go to the General section sticky. All of your questions are answered in depth and have links.
I would root with the update file (no one click needed).
I would put rom manager on and clockwork recovery
make a backup of your system
If you have a number of apps, use titanium backup to save all apps+data so you can easily restore them.
download one of bionix's roms (bionix if you want TW, fusion if you do not). I LOVE Fusion. Bionix incluces TB in his rom now so you can just start restoring your apps... be sure to follow his instructions for flashing the rom.
You do NOT need a lag fix.... trust me on this. Flash the rom before you do anything like that.

Sorry I'm kind of noob, and I just got my vibrant this weekend. But what's the difference between rooting it with the update file vs the one click method in the OCLF? What benefits does that have over the other?
And why do you not need a lag fix? How do I tell if my phone needs a lag fix? I'm currently running fresh stock, and I haven't really noticed any significant lag other than the occasional stalling between menus.
Thanks!
If you notice the lag or not will depend on what phone you had before but once you install a fix it will be obvious it was there

i'm a noob and just figured some basic steps as rooting, lagfix, flashing a ROM like bionix fusion 1.1 (the new one, guess i was one of the firsts to install it) after running into some issues I've managed ... and tell you the truth if you have some it knowledge is really worth. The phone ROCKS now.
rooting is good for stuff like removing system applications (that you don't need), making backups, flashing new roms other the stock one (the one that you have now "stock") little bit more "advanced stuff"
lagfix: well i've noticed the lag later after I installed some apps. More apps. Big lag ... annoying. Phone got very slow. that's why you need lag fix (but if you flash Bionix Fusion for ex than you're fine no more lag fix)
If you're interested in some help I'm willing to help considering some guys around helped me too so I'm just returning that to the comunity
pm or post here if need some step by step how to.
Just flashed fusion JAC and I'm getting some lag, what's a good lag fix? Voodoo? OCLF?

I've used Bionix and Fusion (both with undervolt/overclocked + Voodoo lagfix). Just flashed eugene's latest Froyo last night. If you can live without the GPS functions for now, the Froyo ROM is fantastic. It fixes a lot of the gripesI had with the UI of the 2.1 ROMS-I can have my Google calendar as my default calendar for new appointments, Contacts are cleaner while still having social media integration, I can actually use Skype, Flash, and all of the other Android 2.2 goodies. There's no lag with this ROM right out of the box.
It's so much better that I will live without the GPS features for now and use it as my daily driver. Read the opening post here.

Can't use OCLF with Fusion. Have to use Voodoo or the EXT2 provided in the OP. Voodoo is great as long as you are confident you are able to 1. remember to disable before flashing anything else and 2. ABLE to disable before flashing anything else.
I've got bionix fusion 1.1 the one released last night as well
it rocks for me. By the way my navigation is working. And it has the new nice navigation application. I just had to wait a little bit longer.
i would not recommend using OCLF....
i would flash the new Bionix Fusion ROM w/ KK OC/UV kernel then apply the EXT2 lagfix.....ITS SO ****IN FAST!!!

Why would you want to have so many Lag fixes in first place?
Anywayz, to answer your question. there is nothing preventing you from running multiple LF's on your phone. Just be mindful on what you are doing with your phone and make a nandroid before you do all the LF's
I'm calling a To-Fu'd phone soon...
Just flash a froyo rom and leave the lag-fixes alone!

Custom 2.2 froyo kernel anyone? Suggestions?

I have been searching around on this forum but have been having trouble finding a custom kernel that will speed my system up (fix lag and overclock processor) that is compatible with 2.2 froyo.. i have found a few for eclair, but none for froyo. please post any suggestions! thanks
See this?

You want the link nearest to the bottom of the 1st post. Ignore the ROMs there. No OC AFAIK, though.
Try Eugene's latest. Since I installed it all my apps open up instantly and the battery life is great. No overclock or lag fix needed.
I would also suggest Eugene's Super IO, and avoid any lagfix/voodoo unless you feel comfortable with it and what it means.
Team whiskeys 1.3 d.o.w kernal works great if you dont mind the battery drain

So this kernel works well? I would probably be using it with JL2 and voodoo... i c where he says its voodoo compatible. but i guess i would need to disable voodoo 1st (at the bottom of the 1st post in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821468 ) ? then i would re-enable it?

Does eugene's super IO run fast? i am currently running voodoo and it seems to have helped a lot. what do you mean if i "feel comfortable with it and what it means?" what does it mean to run a lagfix?
Yes, the dragon voodoo kernel seemed to work well. However, I used that before there were other options. I'm currently using this one without issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480. It is put out by the voodoo developer himself.

can you link me to this? i've searched for it, but eugenes threads say not on xda anymore
and i've heard the super IO does work wonderful.
will it run fine with Axura 2.1?

searched SUPER IO, but only comes with results of nero, and clone ginger or something direct link please
so if i install eugene's super IO, what do i do with the voodoo on my phone? just disable it and leave it be? or do i need to flash my nandroid backup back to 2.2 stock w/ axura 2.1 before i had the voodoo... and would this fix it?

Does Eugenes new kernel have the ability to over clock? I'm using his his 1.12GHz oc kernel #20 and would like to upgrade.

[Q] Enabling voodoo after ROM setup

Ive been using Nero v3 for a little while, and Im interested in trying voodoo. Since flashing, Ive installed a few tweaks (some updated apps from SGS tools), and a theme (SGB 2.2.2).
I know its damn near impossible to perma-brick this phone, but is it safe to enable voodoo now that Ive tweaked the rom a bit?
You should have no problems. I've done it a few times on nero v3.
Thanks, Ill be giving it a try later tonight, but Im debating on waiting til the new SBG comes out...
I've made a LOT of changes and voodoo + nero v3 play very well together.
Remember, its a stock kernel so it really is very safe. Just recall to disable before flashing anything unless it too is voodoo'd. ha
Took the plunge, thanks for easing my fear of possible dragons hah
Can you elaborate on what you can flash when voodoo is enabled?

Basically anything but a rom or kernel that doesn't support ext4 FS is safe. In other words, almost anything since most rom developers are packaging voodoo kernels now
So if nero v4 came out with the voodoo kernel I could flash the package and not have to convert to rfs and back to ext4?
^ yes, unless sombionix states otherwise.

From DJ05 Voodoo to EB01/EB16 Voodoo?

As many of you might see, I am still on DJ05 or 2.1. It's been running great all this time, but I'm seeing way too many apps that are only meant for 2.2 that I really want to try. So I was wondering, can I flash a Voodoo Froyo Rom over my Voodoo DJ05? That is, after I flash the modem of course.
Anyone?
As long as you wipe everything yes
