title: android - how to avoid lag/freezes with Samsung RFS filesystem?
body: <p>The Samsung Galaxy S comes with a propietary filesystem called <a href="http://movitool.ntd.homelinux.org/trac/movitool/wiki/RFS" rel="nofollow">RFS</a>.</p>
  
  <p>This filesystem seems to underperform in some occasions. Some applications get laggy, and others <a href="http://support.runkeeper.com/discussions/problems/2509-android-galaxy-s-issues-app-completely-unusable" rel="nofollow">just freeze</a> when using it. This has reached a point on which <a href="http://project-voodoo.org" rel="nofollow">an external team</a> has created <a href="http://project-voodoo.org/lagfix" rel="nofollow">a tool</a> that basically migrates the whole system to ext4.</p>
  
  <p>But not everyone is technically-savy to apply it, or don't want to risk voiding their smartphone's warranty.</p>
  
  <p>I realize that the ideal situation would be that the filesystem was transparent and performant in all cases. But since this doesn't seem to be the case, I'd like to know:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Does anyone know how to work around RFS' rough edges?</li>
  <li>Is there any guide or a best-practices document that the devs should read?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot!</p>
