Guest Casterina Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 There is a application on the Market called 'SD increase' - Yes, your phone must be rooted.. Install a2sd and download SD Increase. Once downloaded set it to 2048 and performance of your SD Card will increase. As all your apps have are on your SD card, you will feel a slight increase in the speed of loading up your apps. Personally, i found this app useful as it opened applications quicker for me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eckengucker1 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 details? how should this work. sounds like rickrolling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrand Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 details? how should this work. sounds like rickrolling sounds more like adjusting the read_ahead_kb file, which is set to 128 by default! We discussed it in the CM7 thread a few pages back, but here is something at XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010807 Maybe this does the same trick for you and avoids an additional app running in the background, but maybe your app does something completely different :) I also don´t know if this really increases the speed of your apps loading from ext2, but it does improve reading speed for example in gallery.. (On the other hand i read something about negative side effects, market downloads taking longer etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It personally think that the speed of my apps have increased :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It personally think that the speed of my apps have increased :) I also modified the cache in read_ahead (not using the app but the script via cwm, don´t know if this matters..) to 2048 and its really fine! Downloading or at least installing to sd means writing, which "might" be affected, but as i said, i don´t know about this, just read it somewhere on the internet :) Edited April 13, 2011 by mrand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download the SD Speed test, do a before test BEFORE installing SD Increase and a speed test AFTER you installed the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Terms of avoiding additional processes running in the background you might be better of with the Clockwork Script (from XDA) rather than the app.. Just flash it once and youre done :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you send me the link to the clockwork script please :) Just look a few posts up, there is the link to the XDA thread! :) And we also talked about this a few pages back in CM7 thread. Just find your best value, flash the according script and forget about the app, Cheers! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives you a link to download. That's why i downloaded the app. That's for the information, i'll place the zip on my sdcard nw :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, i´m not sure if there is an advantage in using the script rather than the app.. maybe you can find out :) Cheers! using the script you know what its doing, installing the app involves allowing it full internet access permission. Its probably totally safe but small "this will make your PC much faster" programs were/are one of the major ways of spreading malware! I'm probably being paranoid so i didn't install the app ... in any case a manual change of the setting only made a minor speed improvement for me (my "class2" SDcard was alread reporting 14MB/s read speed!)

Just flash it once and youre done :) It's a service! Which means it runs constanly if you alow it! It have to! Because it have to start up right after the phone boot up! And this up is doing the same trick as the script. Changint the read_ahead_kb in /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/ From 128 to much bigger numbers! SAD BAT TRUE!
