not a whole lot of info for me to work with here, but you probably are trying to restore some system things or something with an incompatible new rom. Likely the only way to fix it is a data wipe and then reinstall whatever applications you need... maybe clearing caches and datas of apps but I doubt it.
A data wipe is usually good anyways because the phone slows down when you have a lot of things installed and if you're anything like me you have a ton of stuff installed that you only used for one specific thing or for beta testing or whatever, and doing a data wipe and then just installing those applications on a need-to-have basis will give you a noticeable speed boost.

I don't believe Ive seen this mentioned anywhere yet, so I figured Id remind those who know, and inform the newbies who don't know.
Ive heard people who have applied various lag fixes complain that their phone slows down over time when opening apps. This "fix" i am about to mention is really easy and can help anyone not just those who have problems with an applied lag fix.
If you open Rom Manager and use Fix Permissions, wait for it to finish, then select Reboot to Recovery, and wipe Cache, and then go to Advanced Settings, and wipe dalvik cache, then reboot normally, your phone will hang at the Galaxy S bootscreen for a few minutes, it might take a while because it is rebuilding the dalvik cache, you should notice things running smoothly again and apps opening quicker.
Hope this helps anyone out there!
Does wiping those 2 cache's screw up installed apps? Where you have to download them all again?

No, wiping the caches shouldn't affect your installed apps.
And all the same, if you still worry about it, just run a nandroid backup before you wipe the caches, then if you run into any issues, just restore, or advanced-restore only your data partition.

So not a big deal cause I have replaced my update.zip with the clock work reboot update.zip and can reach clockwork still by "reinstalling packages" but I tried this fix and now can't reboot into recovery straight to clockwork through rom manager cause it says something to the effect of
E: can't reboot cause file /cache/update.zip missing
(bad)
Click to expand...

Not exact but obviously there was a vital cached update.zip that was used in order to reboot directly into clockwork through rom manager.... Any idea on a fix? Think it would be unwise to just reflash clockwork through rom manager again to recache the file? Would anything else be effected like possibly overwriting my past nand recoveries? Thanks guys/gals for any help on this one.

Bump for the safety of reflashing clockwork to replace cache file?

yes, your missing the update.zip that unzipps itself to run clockwork. So yes flash the update.zip again through rom manager.
I just creates the update.zip file so it will not do any harm.
Awesome I assumed just as much but wanted confirmation first, thank you much

I've done this, and it worked just fine.
Thanks OP!

Thank you! Am trying this now and will post any impressions after.
EDIT: Immediately after re-booting, it definitely seems smoother and snappier - thanks again for this. I was wondering if I should do something like this, but didn't know what, because I'd flashed Eugene's Vibrant6 and a lag fix and then restored to my pre-flash nandroid. I thought the phone's performance was suffering after all that, and I definitely found this tip helpful, so really appreciated!
Here's a new one. Searched and couldn't find.
I was on ICZen 1.3, and ran a batch backup on all user apps on Titanium Backup.
I should point out that some time ago on this ROM, I did flash the datafix_11032012.zip file. I felt this could be important information in the discussion.
I then reset/wiped/formatted and flashed ICZen 1.4 goodness. Waited, rebooted. Fixed Permissions, rebooted. I'm good to go to restore my apps+data.
But on the first couple that I restored (Angry Birds Space, among them), I tried to launch and immediately got a Force Close message "Unfortunately, Angry Birds Space has stopped"
This only happens when I try to restore with data. If I restore "app only", the app launches. But if I try to restore with data (even if "data only"), the app FC.
It's not a bad ROM download or flash. I've checked the md5 and even reflashed. Even went back to ICZ 1.3. Same result.
Being this is a data issue, I think the datafix file may have something to do with it. Who knows?
Any ideas here?
Two things. Did you do the data fix on RC1.4 (was it a clean install)? and I always suggest NOT doing batch backups with TB. Sure it saves time but in my past experiences, it cause more problems than it solves.
Try this. Go into TB and hit Preferences, then scroll all the way to the bottom and hit Troubleshooting. Once that opens, tick the Follow All Symbolic Links and see if that work.
Might have to wipe data and caches since you already tried to restore. Maybe not though. See if you can uninstall some app (I do not suggest useing AGB Space as a tester, it is a little wonky) and then reinstall it with the tweak above.

I've uninstalled/restored and even redownloaded from the play store/market. The app launches with no data, but whenever I try to restore the data (via TBu) that's when it FC. I have just tried this on another app (Pandora). Same result.
I think what Woodrube was trying to say after you restore the apps with data,
did you try to reboot to recovery, wipe both cache and dilvik.
when the phone starts up again you should see a msg say "optimizing apps 1 of 123" or something like, cant really remember what it said.
i'm using iczen 1.4 too , came from 1.3 but didnt do a full wipe. so far no issues, if you have a nandroid, you may just want to recovery and flash over.
I have the same problem... Without solution? =/
Same problem. Cannot find solution anywhere
would also like to see an answer. I have the same issue on my captivate
I want to move from stock odex ROM to a deoxed version. I am currently running odex rooted stock OTA 1.22.651.3 (from xHaus). Can I flash the deodexed ROM over mine without wiping? I know that I can TI Backup all of my apps if I need to wipe, but it would be simpler to flash over if possible.
Thanks.

What's wrong with wiping and flashing if your apps are backed up? You will be in a world of hurt if you don't.......skies will fall, unicorns will die.....lol just force closes etc....so wipe .

There really is no reason not to wipe data when flashing a Rom. Really Bad idea not to.

Things like contact linking are a pain to get right. There isn't a major problem with wiping; I was just asking to try to save myself some trouble if it was possible.
Wipe it is.
if your wanting to save yourself some trouble then always do a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache. just a good way of making sure you always get a clean install. thats what i always do. and especially if im home on my wifi cuz all my apps and such download in about 3-4 mins and ur good.

You're not saving yourself trouble, You're creating potential head aches in the future by not wiping. I always do a full wipe and I only use TB to restore a few apps like games that I don't want to lose data from. It takes a little longer but you'll have far less issues in the end. I'm convinced the majority of the issues people have in these rom threads are from just flashing without wiping anything and/or using TB to restore all apps + data.
Description:
I have flashed a few ROMs and before I do, I backup my apps with app2zip or titanium backup. After a flash, I restore the apps without issues, but when running them some do run fine others just crash. If you run into the same thing, here is what I have done.
Step 1:
Download ROM Manager->Run it->and look for "Fix Permissions"->Run it & wait...After it is done, run the apps you had issues with.
*You can reboot to CWM recovery->advance->Fix Permissions.
Step 2:
If that doesn't work, unfortunately you are going to have to install them again from Play Store.
Hope this helps.
A standard method for badly behaving apps is to go to settings, manage apps, then delete cache or delete data for each app.
Or just don't use add2zip, it doesn't set permissions. Stick with tbu, never an issue and allot faster.
Again, do everything right and there won't be any issues and you shouldn't have to fix permissions
Twrp works the best for wiping cache and delvik. Doing it the other way mention, you're going to have to reboot anyway, might as well do it the right way. Plus with 76 apps, that would take forever

Everyone experiences a different thing with backup apps, I've seen some that had issues using tbu. I did use Wipe Cache/Dalvik methods multiple times and didn't solve the issue. The above methods worked for me.
Hey guys,
So I got the g3 back in Aug. And rooted with one of the early methods.
I stopped keeping up to date with updates but now my phones running a little slow so I figured I'd see what updates I should apply or what the best route would be to go.
Currently I am on 4.4.2 build kvt49l.
I do not remember what I used to root but I believe I'm stock Rom without custom recovery and only root.
I'm okay without going custom recovery, unless it's super easy to obtain, I just enjoy having root for a number of reasons.
Thanks for the info guys.

If you are on the VS985 (Verizon model), only Stump root works.
But, first off, before doing anything, how many apps have you installed? What is the amount of free memory/storage on your phone? If you have way too many apps installed, that can cause the phone to become sluggish. I would suggest removing any apps you know longer use.
Also, you could boot into recovery and wipe the cache and dalvik. Not a factory data reset which wipes your phone, but just wipe the cache and dalvik cache.
I would do that first before taking the OTAs. If all you have done was root via Stump and have not "bumped" the phone with TWRP, you can go into SuperSU and tell it to maintain root across OTAs. Then, you can take the OTAs as they come in and you'll maintain root.
But, i doubt that will fix your sluggishness with the phone. As I stated, I would check to see how much free storage you have left (both on the internal memory as well as the main memory). Then, wipe dalvik and cache and try that as well.

I don't believe I have that much installed.
I am having an issue with installing apps all of a sudden. I keep getting an error saying I don't have enough space, but I have plenty...?
My issue is with lag. Especially with the keyboard. I'm using the stock LG keyboard but if I attempt to type quickly it'll lag and cause me to mistype.
I'll try wiping the cache and what not and report back. Thanks for your input.
Edit: so I wiped the cache and the device is still laggy. Would tasker be causing it at all? Thanks again.

I have had tasker before and removed it due to it causing lag. I don't know if it still does. I haven't installed it as I have no use for it.
You could try freezing it and see if that fixes it as opposed to uninstalling if you have a lot of settings created. That way, if the lag still persists, you know it wasn't tasker and you could just unfreeze it and not have to worry about setting it all up again from a clean install. Unless, of course, you use something like TiBu to back it up, then you could uninstall it and see.

The other possible issue could be your cache or dalvik cache partitions, but I see you've already cleared those out, so I'm not sure why else you would be getting this.
Here is a link that has a lot of possible causes and solutions. Try these out and report back because I'm at a loss:
