Guest Paul Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Try at your own risk... if things go wrong you'll need to wipe your device. I have done this and it seems to have eradicated the 'stalling' i've seen on the device... You need to be rooted and have ADB on your PC to run these commands. If it's confirmed this helps, i'll make the process easier with an 'installer'. Enter the following commands in adb on your PC with your device attached (rooted, with USB debugging enabled): adb shell su cp -rp /data/data /dbdata mv /data/data /data/data.bak ln -s /dbdata/data /data/data reboot[/code] I've done this on mine, and i'm yet to see a 'stall'. Let me know how you get on! NOTE: This basically moves the application data stuff from the internal SD to the NAND, which seems to be faster. The caveat is that the size limit for dbdata is about 130MB, so if you go over that with your app data, bad things might happen. On the plus side, we're only moving data not the apps themselves, so filling up 130MB will take a while. :lol: P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest woutf Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) I get this message after the first command # cp -rp /data/data /dbdata cp -rp /data/data /dbdata cp: can't stat '/data/data/LeveloKment.PatternControl/shared_prefs/LeveloKment.P atternControl_preferences.xml.bak': No such file or directory Should I just continue with the rest?

Guest rrradiogirrrl Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Oh, great! Thanks, Paul! Can't try it right now since I'm heading over to Samsung HQ tomorrow in Belgium They read my blog and contacted me after I posted a video on because they were really surprised to see the Galaxy S being so slow. They invited me to come over and have a look at it together, possibly flash some new firmware on it. So that hopefully means Samsung is working on it or will work on it soon!

So far so good, just started about 10 apps and started switching between them, no stalls to be seen (yet) :lol: Edited June 29, 2010 by woutf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my device size of /data/data is already 143 Mb, and its greater than free space in /dbdata (96 Mb) What apps do you have installed? I was only concerned about map caching apps and such like. My /data/data was only 44Mb. EDIT: just tried this - works great! Definite improvement to overall responsiveness.

Guest megakid Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I'm really surprised to hit the full 130MB tho tbh... P Why? Isn't down to the applications you have and where they choose to store stuff? Say you downloaded a mapping application that allowed you to download/cache maps from online, would that go into this data directory (I'm not sure on the APIs or any sandboxes that are available to devs when producing an android app) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Only if it was brainless... it would ideally store to the sdcard. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
