While flashing new ROMs on your Galaxy S i9000, it’s generally recommended to disable any lagfixes you’ve previously applied on your phone because a lagfix might cause error in flashing a new ROM or make the new ROM incompatible. So below is a full guide on how to disable lagfix on your phone.
We’ve so far two lagfixes on Galaxy S i9000:
- Voodoo kernel
- Speedmod kernel
Disabling lagfix on Voodoo kernel:
- Switch off your phone [wait until it vibrates]
- Go into recovery mode by pressing the three button combo – “VOLUME UP key + HOME key + Power key”
- Scroll down to “Voodoo Lagfix” using Volume down button, and press Power button to select it.
- Select “disable lagfix”
- Select “/system lagfix off”
- Now select “Go Back”, and then “Reboot system now”
- Your phone will now reboot.
During reboot the phone might make weird sounds, but don’t freak, it’s part of the process, also this reboot might take a few minutes more than usual reboot.
Disabling lagfix on Speedmod kernel:
- Switch off your phone [wait until it vibrates]
- Go into recovery mode by pressing the three button combo – “VOLUME UP key + HOME key + Power key”
- Select “advanced Speedmod ULK features”
- Select “LAGFIX options”
- Select “Disable Lagfix: Convert DATA to RFS”
- Select “Convert SYSTEM to Ext4/RFS” –>—> then select Yes.
- Select “Go back”, and then again “Go Back”
- Now select “Reboot system now” to reboot your phone
- In the next screen you’ll get a message like “SYSTEM Conversion requested”. Here, select the option “RFS: Convert to RFS”
- The phone will reboot — and in a few minutes — display a message like “New filesystem config detected. Convert?” Select Yes.
- Your phone will reboot and lagfix will now be disabled.
