Looks like you can increase the speed of your SD card by modifying the cache size.

Here's a guide,

And, here's an app to do it.

Hope someone finds it useful but I wonder if this will make the SD faster.

Hope someone finds it useful but I wonder if this will make the SD wear out faster.

I think it won't make the sd card faster.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fishears:
I installed the sd tool and sd increase apps. Changing to 2048k did speed up reads but the change is not persistent i.e. you have to re-apply with the app after every boot...

Might apply the update zip though because it is noticeably quicker.

Hello.

Been using GingerVillain for quite some time now. Since the begining that i struggle to get sms/emails out without any gramatical errors since the keyboard dictionary doesnt work.

I go to language and keyboard settings-> Android keyboard-> input languages and have ****loads of dictionaries there to choose from.

Oddly enough, the only one that works is English.

Have searched this forum for an answer and didnt found one.

Any clues in how to get a Portuguese keyboard dictionary for example?!?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[G Tablet General] 2manytoys:
Does anyone know how to get the delete key to work on an external keyboard.

Also, the Ctrl C style of windows shortcut doesn't work (I'm using Xtralogic Remote Desktop for work). I think it's the Ctrl Key just doesn't exist in Android??

I think other keys are missing, like; < and >

Any ideas?

Cheers, Mal.

1. Make a folder named bootanimation.

2. Inside the bootani folder you made, make 2 folder, *part 0* and *part 1*

3. make a desc.txt file and write following words inside.

Code:

240 400 15p 1 0 part0p 0 0 part1

Save it and put it in bootani folder.

[NOTE:]

240 400 = 240X400, screen resolution of Galaxy 3.

15 = 15fps, play 15 frame per second/play 15 picture per second.

p 1 0 part0 means it will load folder part0. After it finish folder part0, it will keep replaying folder part1.

4. Copy the file and install in your mobile phone.

5. Then you need a few hundred to a few thousands of photo.

[NOTE:if u want a 10 seconds boot animation, u need 150 photos. Because the animation is running at 15fps (15 frame per seconds / 15 picture per seconds).]

6. You can download a few people's bootanimation.zip and extract it out and save in folder part0.

[NOTE: Galaxy 3 screen resolution is 240X400, if u download a bigger resolution, just compress it or resize it into 240X400.]

7. Arrange the photo.

[NOTE: If you want a smaller size of bootanimaition.zip, use jpg file type. Sometimes the PNG file size is smaller than jpg.]

8. Label from 001-999 or 0001-9999

[NOTE: ONLY use 4 digit number, example 0001-9999, if u want >1 minute of animaition {1 minute of boot animaition =60secX15fps=900 photos.}.] )

9. After finish creating, save it into folder part0 and copy photo that you want it to keep replaying in folderpart0.

10.Paste it into folder part1.

11. Then highlight part0, part1, desc.txt and press right click > add to archive.

12. Then you will see winzip coming out.

13. Select ZIP in archive format. Then choose STORE in compress method and type bootanimation.zip in archive name.

14. Now connect your phone and computer.

15. copy the bootanimation.zip into SD card.

16. go to all apps > root explorer > sd card > copy bootanimation.zip > press back > go data > local > and you will see a bootanimation.zip

17. press PASTE and your new bootanimation.zip will replace it.

18. YOU'RE done! Just restart your phone and you will have your new boot animation! ENJOY!!!

Will make it more easier and better soon!!!

P.S. Video tutorial coming soon!!! :D :D :D

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] cdesai:
You'll need:

1. Notepad or any text editor

5. Quicktime pro if you want to rip videos to images (optional but recommended)

[HOW TO] Port bootanimations!!!

How to port bootanimations​

THE SIMPLE WAY:​

First of all download a bootanimation(If you dont have one)

Open it with any zip program like 7zip or Winzip

There will be a desc.txt file in it with something like this

XXX XXX 15p 1 0 part0p 0 0 part1

or something similar

Replace the XXX XXX with 240 400(resolution of G3) to make it look something like this

240 400 15p 1 0 part0p 0 0 part1

Save the file

Push or paste the file in /system/media or /data/local(first one recommended , second one if you dont have root-but it'll show both animations-stock nd yours if used second method)

ENJOY!!!

Im having trouble flashing any 2.3 based Rom. VeganTab worked fine and so far Ive tried Corwin's and Kornyone's roms and just hang at the viewsonic boot screen. Im new to the GTAB but not android so I'm quite familiar with CWR and flashing Roms. Follewed directions to the T and have yet to successfully boot using a 2.3 Rom.

Any ideas? Not using SD card, only internal if that matters. Thanks in advance.
[G Tablet General] lordgodgeneral:
I know i had a heck of a time getting my first Ginger to flash, but after the first it was easy to jump between them. Only way i got it to work was in CM to mount and format \system and \cache before flashing the rom. Then after the rom was flashed, wipe data, cache and davlik.

Best of luck
[G Tablet General] techboydino:
I tried that numerous times. I tried mounting, formating, then unmounting. Tried it with a reboot in between the format and install and without the reboot. Still no dice, thanks for the response.
[G Tablet General] techboydino:
Maybe there is something I'm missing. Here are my steps. This starts out running Vegan 5.11 with no issues. So I am nandroided, partitioned at 2048/0, and have no issues with this Rom. Bekit .8 CWR.

1.	mount system

2.	mount data

3.	Format both

4.	Format dalvic

5.	Install Rom (Tried different CM7 among others)

6.	Factory Reset

7.	Wipe Cache

8.	Reboot

9.	Hangs on white viewsonic screen

I also tried wiping again after a reboot into CWR. Still hanging up. Restore Nandroid and back to Vegan. Also tried mounting and wiping boot with no luck prior to install.

You need to nvflash your tab. Your partitions are wrong. After nvflash you will have no problems installing GB roms

Well I assume its similar to the way something like Acronis or Ghost works, as in imaging the entire system (in this case, each section [system, data, etc]). I'll look into getting a hold of him... thanks.

Reason I ask is because I would like to pull just a few files from my old backup image, and not necessarily restore the whole thing. I guess I could backup my current config, restore the old backup, take the files off that I need, and then restore back to my current image.. but that would take effort :P.

You can copy the system and boot .img files from the backups folder and use dsixda's kitchen to import them. It will create a working folder that has the apk's etc in it. Not as easy as just copying them to the PC and browsing them but will do what you ask

If your looking for input on a ROM, I've loaded most of the ROM's available at one time or another over the past few weeks and so far Perfect Storm has been the best. It is very stable, very smooth and the kernel that comes with it is very nice. One warning however, after you install it go right to Setcpu and adjust the clock speeds. I think it defalts to 2 gig and that ends up freezing my phone after 5 minutes. I run it around 1.4 Gigs and it plays very nicely.
