A couple of apps to help with lag!

Here are a couple of apps, both free that should make a difference in system performance. They've made a difference for me. Both require root.

The 1st allows you to set fstrim to run on a schedule... You can google on fstrim and a popular app called "lagfix" however trimmer is also free and allows scheduling a weekly run which is only available in the pay version of lagfix. It also is ad free unlike lagfix.

The 2nd app is called sEFix and it points to an xda thread that discusses how it handles "lag reduction" in it's description.

Hope someone finds these useful.

Couple of problems.

I have 2 problems with my S2 (stock 4.1.2 rooted with CWM)

So theres 2 problems:
1.The first one is that all my apps are installed on the device memory instead of installing on the internal storage (USB Storage) , when I try to transfer it to sd card it says "unable to move app , not enough storage space" so I dont know what to do ..
*apps like link2sd dont load or just dont work ...

2. The second problem is that I using Chrome browser ... but when I press the icon there's a 1.5-2 second delay before really launching .. every other app launch just fine quickly only Chrome launch in delay ...

So thanks for any help and sorry for my english its not my native language :)

A couple of questions about root and OTA

I have been on stock almost all my life, but I once thought what could go wrong with having a rooted phone. I unlocked the bootloader, and tried just booting a custom recovery TWRP, and it worked, although it didn't work before as I heard HTC disabled booting recoveries only. Flashed SuperSU, and VOILA!

I installed a couple of applications I wanted to try, first of them was Titanium Backup, and removed a couple of applications like the default "Internet" browser. I also installed greenify and played with it for while.

Yesterday, I tried installing the latest OTA that fixes the Stagefright exploit, and my phone got soft bricked stuck at the booting screen. Thanks to a Nandroid backup I made with TWRP before rooting - or even after rooting I really can't remember -, which I restored, got the OTA normally but wiped my phone.

Here are my questions:
- Does root only change system files?
- If I removed the default "Internets application that came with the phone after root "uninstalled" it, does this change stock?
- Would greenify with root cause that?
- Is there any official way to restore the stock system files?

I'm just trying to figure out the exact reason here..
