Guest oachim Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Hi again, except for mkfs.ext2 command, do you any issue to use busybox 1.16? regards, Ovidiu You need to use version 1.17.1 of busybox. You can get it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?c6symaiuusvapob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oachim Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Hi, I think you have an error in userinit.sh. Second line is 'chmod 1000:1000 /data/data1' instead of chown. Regards, Ovidiu This is copied from my post over on XDA dev. It makes the phone as smooth as butter. It's faster than any of the previous lag fixes plus it doesn't have any of the issues that the other ones had like not being able to remove the memory card, or running out of space on the new partition, etc. My SGS feels as smooth as an iPhone 4 now. My only contribution is that I made this into a complete guide. It was the hard work of others that discovered this fix. Here are the instructions: First copy the two files in the attached .zip to the root of your internal memory then run the following commands after enabling debugging mode. Make sure you have the latest busybox installed. The first command takes a while since it creates a 1 GB file on the internal memory. I also recommend starting in stock configuration (any firmware version is fine) I don't know what will happen if other fixes/kernels have been applied. adb shell su busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/dataimg bs=1024 count=1048576 busybox mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0 busybox losetup /dev/loop0 /data/dataimg busybox mkfs.ext2 /dev/loop0 mkdir /data/data1 busybox mount -o remount,rw -t rootfs / mv /system/bin/playlogos1 /system/bin/playlogosnow cp /sdcard/playlogos1 /system/bin/playlogos1 cp /sdcard/userinit.sh /system/bin/userinit.sh chmod 755 /system/bin/playlogos1 chmod 755 /system/bin/userinit.sh busybox mount -o remount,ro -t rootfs / reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oachim Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Would you check size of your dataimg? Probably you set the wrong arguments for dd.

Guest DJ41 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I have the previous EXT4 lagfix installed. Should I undo the previous fix somehow before I attempt this fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ivarkentje Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Okay so I tried this with ADB, but the moment I type in the first command after the su (busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/dataimg bs=1024 count=1048576) it says "dd: can't open '/data/dataimg': Permission denied'. What do I do now? I have root access, superuser installed and busybox 1.18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Denizzje Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I am having a problem with busybox. According to the 1.18 installer, I have 1.15.3 installed. But the installer won't let me upgrade because 'the nand is not unlocked'. When I try the older version on page 2 of this thread, I suddenly have no busybox installed and have the same message with the failed instalation. What can I do.... Running jm5 with samset 1.9 (ext 3/4 fix not applied). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NeidRider Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I have the previous EXT4 lagfix installed. Should I undo the previous fix somehow before I attempt this fix? No need to; it'll just copy all your data from the ext4 partition to the new image. (that's at least what I have running). Only thing is, you'll still have that ext4 partition mounted, as you've flashed a kernel that does this automatically; I simply added "busybox umount /disk" at the end of the userinit.sh script to work around this.
