I've modded a LOT of things on my phone and it still works the same as before. No lag. I don't really know that modding would be a reason why the phone would lag. All we're doing is changing icons, with the exception of ringtones. hmm.... Try Clearing you History and Cache in Safari and see if that helps any.

Well did you just ADD files instead of REMOVING and THEN adding? If so your iPhone is trying to diferentiate between which icon.png to use. I think anyway.

No, once you replace the image regardless if you remove or not it is still being replaced. The phone is not storing two images with the same name in the same location. If the image is larger then it is suppose to be can cause a bit of lag but should not be that noticeable even if it is the entire phone.

the reason its lagging is because the phone never 'truly' closes any of its applications. so over time, its keeping a lot of memory usage for cache.

if the phone is ever lagging, just do a reset (holding the home and lock buttons until the phone restarts). don't restore the phone.... thats just a waste of time.

a quick test to see if your memory is low/lagging is:

when you wake the phone from 'sleep', if the 'unlock' slider is jerky or laggy then you should do a reset. it will fix that problem and make the applications run more smooth.

no lag here, but i had that glitching problem even before modding. The screen goes like gray for a second right from a wake up? i just pass it off as a minor bug and hopefully an update will fix it. But all in all modding has not slowed me down 1 bit

Not true at all. I added mine without deleting the older and it changed it to .PNG. So i had a icon.png and a icon.PNG in the same directory for all my pictures.

yes, my phone lags after i mod it. after i turn it on after i lock it, it unlock then the screen goes black, so it takes like a minute in a half after i mess with it so the background shows up.

Did you mod the icons and images and stuff? If they are larger file sizes it may cause lag, happened a lot with making new themes on nextel phones.
