Hi, Y am looking for a program o this caracteristics, but first y would like to know how it works.. what does it change?

thanks..!
[Android Apps and Games] maxexcloo:
I would also like to know how this works :)
[Android Apps and Games] Xairo:
Working! Got about 1-2 mb/s more.
[Android Apps and Games] dandiar:
correct me if i'm wrong, but this app changes your read_ahead_kb value in your sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0 right? what values does it sets it to? 2048 or 3069?
[Android Apps and Games] Shoulon:
All it does is increase how fast it reads your SD card. so yes, it can speed up a lot of your casual activity's. harmless also.
[Android Apps and Games] nickmcminn60:
Yes all it does is change your read ahead cache. You can also use this script. Place it in your system\etc\init.d folder and change permissions to rwxr-x--

You can change the value to what ever you want by editing the ''768'' Ive found 768 to be best balance. anything above 1028 is overkill, it may speed up your Really large files but will slow down small ones and most files you want fast access to are relatively small. IE. music, pic's, text files ect. after you change values and reboot you can check to see if your changes have stuck, simply go to sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0\read ahead cache and open file as text and it will display the running value. You can also change the value directly from there and test your phones performance with each change untill you find the best for you. You will loose your settings after reboot if you just change values from here: sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read ahead cache. This is not intended to knock this cool app in no way. just trying to help ppl understand who didnt and to the people who would like this mod but dont want to have another app running in the background.

*** You will have to remove the ".txt" extension before using this file****
[Android Apps and Games] Akusari:
exactly :)

Akusari
[Android Apps and Games] Akusari:
Well, you're right with this path, but there are some more possibilities to set the values (diffferent paths). It depends on the hardware. However, the app set the value received by the GUI.
[Android Apps and Games] thetak:
I have tried it but nothing happend. I have Samsung Galaxy 3 and a 8GB class 4 SD.

Is there any recomendations?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Akusari:
Do you get any error message from my app ?

Could you provide a logcat after using SD-Booster ?

Thanks :)

Regards

Akusari
[Android Apps and Games] thetak:
I get nothing. No error message.

I did a benchmark before and after the use of your program but the results was the same.

What exactly do you mean by providing a logcat. If you could be more specific it would be very helpfull. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Akusari:
Connect your phone via USB to your PC and start a shell with the command: "adb logcat > output.txt" and post this file here. :)

(Android SDK must be installed)

Which part of the txt file do you want to see?
[Android Apps and Games] dandiar:
i have a moto backflip and i know its kinda slow.....so now i've cranked it up to 2048 and found that my phone lags even worse and that I/O speed went down. maybe @nickmcminn60 was right, more than 1028 is overkill. so i decided to go with 1000, and now it's working great. will test it out for a couple of days.
[Android Apps and Games] Akusari:
Everything with the content "(SD-Booster)" is needed. But it would be better if you could can post everything you have, because sometimes the Android OS gives me usefull informations as well.

My friend, I'm sorry I'm late, but I was away for business.

There is not such a record in the output.txt file. Also I am experiencing a problem and my phone is showing me an alert the last two days that the SD-Booster is terminated unxpected. I will look into it and get back, OK? ;)

Just tried this and I've had no success, what are the permissions that I need to set exactly? I've dropped the .txt from the file and it's in the right place, but after reboot, the read ahead cache is still 128. Hope you can help. James.
[Android Apps and Games] jonny68:
I've set it as recommended to 2048 but to be perfectably honest i cant say ive noticed any difference whatsoever, how is it possible for me to tell if this makes any difference?
[Android Apps and Games] walord:
run sdtest. My best results were with 1024 not 2048.
[Android Apps and Games] mikaeldalc:
just downloaded

Finally a useful app. I just downloaded for first time. will tell u my thoughts
[Android Apps and Games] mikaeldalc:
WOW

Well that didnt take long. Im running a Vibrant bionix v1.3.1. When i would turn my phone on for the first time i would have to let my phone sit back and read my 16gb external memory card for a long ass time. At least a full minute. After downloading and setting to 2048 cache size, It took only 10 seconds max to read on the the reboot. **** YES....

1 question, Does this affect battery life? if so how bad?
[Android Apps and Games] GoCkillaz:
I decided to go a little conservative. I have a 16GB Class 2 (I think) SD Card on my HTC HD2. I set the cache to 728. MASSIVE improvements, mate. Thanks a TON for your work.

Have a nice day!
[Android Apps and Games] Akusari:
Okay, if you found something please send me the stuff. :)
[Android Apps and Games] fzammetti:
Hmm... first and foremost, thank you!! It's people like you that make using Android a pleasant experience!

So, I had some mixed results... running an Epic 4G with Midnight ROM 5.3, Ext4 version. I tested initially with SD Tools and I was getting 7.4 write and 22.7 read. After trying with 768 as recommended I was seeing a write speed of around 11 amazingly, but surprisingly, read of about 15!

WTF?!?

So I tried a lower number, 128. Didn't seem to make any difference. Bumping up to 1024 though I see 11 write and 23.3 read. Ok, better, but not by much.

At 2048 I get 8.8 and 22.7. Hrm?!

I ran all these tests multiple times and the results were fairly consistent... some minor variations as you always expect on these sorts of benchmarks.

What do you think? Does this seem right to you guys? Is anyone seeing similar results? I assumed I didn't have to reboot after applying a change, could I be mistaken about that? Could it just be because of the way SD Tools does its speed tests, and if so, is there a more accurate tool to use?

Thanks,

Frank
[Android Apps and Games] rockneo:
I have a class 4 card which before this app ran at

[Android Apps and Games] spike15_mk:
Ok, so I installed this great app without any problems, but can someone tell me should I leave 128 cache or do I need to change?

P.S I have 4 GB Kingston Class 4
[Android Apps and Games] danielsf:

How does this app compare to "SD Speed Increase", which is well-known and has been on the market for a looooong time already...?

[Android Apps and Games] im.nick.hello:
Is there any chance that this app can cause data loss on the SD, what exactly does it change?

Also, how does this differ from SD speed increase? it has been on the market for a while.
[Android Apps and Games] bstylz911:
does this effect battery??
[Android Apps and Games] bstylz911:

WITHOUT IT i got 17+ read and write. WTF? lol

I was going to do the manual version of this as described by nickmcminn60 here but then I found the file already existed. I'm a HD2 user with HyperDroid GBX v12 installed.

The file 77sdcardspeedfix already exists in /etc/init.d and the value is set to 2048.

I ran 5 tests with SD Tools benchmark and got an average speed of:

[Android Apps and Games] nubcakes:
1024 seems to be the sweet spot for me; slightly better than 768 and 2048 did nothing more

setting to 1024 brought my read/write speed from ~18/8 to ~24/10!

very nice and easy

*note: using PNY 8gb class 4
[Android Apps and Games] Akusari:
At a moment, with version 1.x of SD-Booster, there are no much different between these two applications. Basicly they doing the same. Well, SD-Booster doesn't use and will never use any kind of advertising (compared to other SD-Card apps) ;) As i wrote SD-Booster i didn't know about this app.

With upcoming version 2.0 of SD-Booster, coming in the next weeks, this facts will be change completely. SD-Booster 2.0 comes with a new UI and use his own intelligent technology framework to detect SD-Cards correctly for all known and future devices. SD-Booster will be smart and suggest tuned cache sizes based on the framework. There will be more options for the users. With version 2.1 a own speed test will be included as well.

However, i'm sure version 2.0 shows many features which never shown before and couldn't be realize in a shellscript.

Best,

[Android Apps and Games] zerodi:
i wanted to try your tool out but i used sd-tools to check my current read and write speeds and i got

writing 6.1mb/s

reading 23.6mb/s

lol, is that correct, i havent even used your sd-booster yet

im only using a class2 4gb sdard on my nexus one with the rom below
[Android Apps and Games] Akusari:
Well, you should give SD-Booster a try anyway. It's been possible that your Rom include SD-Card stuff already. Which Rom and version do you use ?
[Android Apps and Games] zerodi:
The one in my sig for the nexus cm7.1.0 , redstar kernel 2.6.38.2

been playing around with it on my SGS with the rom in my sig also seen a little improvment overall on both phones

from 8mb/s to 11mb/s write and 23mb/s to 25mb/s on read :-) 768 cache, 1028 and higher seemed to bring worse results
[Android Apps and Games] AwfulFaded:
Installed and set to 768. Gave me about a 2MB/sec speed boost (read) on my CDMA Hero running CM 7.0.3.

I love anything that makes this underpowered little beast feel a more like a real phone. Great work and thank you very much!
[Android Apps and Games] rubensbasket:
apkkkkkkkkkk

can you send me or post the apk ?
[Android Apps and Games] Akusari:
Hello,

Simply answer: No

I'm getting a lot of emails and PM's request a copy of SD-Booster. Basicly i don't like this idea if an application is available on the market. The market gives you the best guarantee that you'll get the lastest update anyway and the developer has no trouble with "outdated" versions on devices.

If you have no access to the Android market, you might try some alternate possibilities like appbrain.com

Doesn't seem to make much difference to my Class 4 Sandisk 8 GB.

[Android Apps and Games] mobiware:
Nice concept in the application. Unfortunately it didn't have any impact in my situation. I have and HTC HD2 with a SanDisk Class 2 16Gb card. Here are the speeds I got (measured with SD Tools):

Original 4.1/10.1

Hey I was wondering if it is at all possible to rip some APKs from CM7 and use them in stock FROYO? The ones I am really interested in are the DSPManager.apk, Camera.apk and Music.apk. I really liked the CM7 camera over the Vibrant camera. Also the DSPManager from CM7 seems to be the latest one and has a couple of features that mine doesn't have.

Please someone give me instructions on how to do it or provide me with the apks or a link. Anything will be appreciated.

I was messing around with Chrome Canary as I heard the Angry Birds theme music beckoning me from my pinned tab, and all of a sudden I got misty-eyed realizing how far Google has come. I felt that I would somehow be cheating on her if I did not integrate the upcoming 3.1 honeycomb release into my HTPC plans. So how awesome, and/or possible, would it be to have 3.1 as a bootloader option? It seems Xtreamer is open-source and is supportive of developers too, which helps obviously.

I dont know if I am considered a noob, I have a lot of android development experience but im fairly new to the decompiling scene.

I'm just curious to know how Amazon's DRM works. From my own research, they are injecting a compiled class, then reading the activity that launches from androidmanifest then modifying that activity's oncreate to include a call to the amazon drm.

However this seems very easy to break, since just removing that call would make the DRM useless, so Im sure they are doing something else.

Does anyone have anymore insight into this?
