[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharpnShiny:
I'm serious about my portable music and am trying to find the best combination of Xperia phone and SD to match an iPod Classic in file transfer speed and audio quality but I'm mostly concerned with data transfer for now.

I'm using a class 4 32GB Sandisk and want to shoot myself :crying:

My iPod Classic laughs at the speed. :crying:

Anyone using a Class 10 or any kind of Ultra SD? How's that going? Do you own/owned any portable music devices like an iPod to compare with? All I know is my Classic can transfer at least 1 song per second, usually more, with over 32GBs of music that's great or if just transferring my newest 30 songs. With my class 4 SD in my Xperia it takes about 4-5 seconds per song and I would prefer to bounce it off the wall :fingers-crossed: :good:

I'm planning to get the Xperia Sola and upgrading my SD, (upgrading headphones after that) but I'm just looking for feedback?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overdose1986:
Use a microSD USB adapter or SDcard adapter to get 10Mb/s, if I do use the usb cable the speed is like 2mb/s
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~MaX~:
I use a Samsung Class 10 32GB SD and the speeds are very Good.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
I don't get it. What's so bad about class 4 microSD cards? I use Sandisk 16GB Class 4 aswell, I don't cry about lag, because I don't have it. Transferring songs isn't that slow, I don't do it often either so no problems with it.

Or is it just that people keep wanting more and more?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharpnShiny:
Is it just that people don't read entire posts? :confused:

As I posted above already, the issue is that I've been using various dedicated media devices for years which have consistently performed at far higher data transfer speeds. I'll say it again:

I have 32GB of music, if I transfer with an Apple device it transfers at least 1 song per second. For a large music collection, it does this very quickly as you can see. If I'm transferring the newest 20 or 30 songs in my collection, it does that in about 30 35 seconds.

If I asked my last phone or my current Android phone to do this, it takes about 4-5 seconds to transfer ONE song (or podcast). Whether it's a few minutes for just a few songs, or a few hours to transfer my whole collection, it's terrible performance and tedious.

Which brings me to my question about data speeds. I'm sure someone suggested before that it could be partly Apple cables being designed for optimum transfer speeds. I completely forgot about SD classes though, and I found the Sandisk Class 10 Ultra transfer up to 30mbps. I checked on eBay and they are not that expensive - about €30 for for 32GB. I'll get that soon and report back!

p.s. I just asked Sony about this and they said they've tested classes 2 and 4 with their phones and said that a class 10 will likely not work with their phones so not to purchase! Hmm. Mind you, many people here have bought 64GB SD cards when Sony said 32GB is the highest that you should use. I'll find someone here using a class 10!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
One of the problems - the chip. Phone's motherboard and it's transfer speed. It takes a longer 'distance' for the data to travel - from the computer, through the cable, through the chip, onto the SD.

Apple devices don't use SD cards, they have built-in memory chips, which have a lot faster r/w speeds, also they use the full max speed of USB 2.0(35 megabytes per second), microUSB has a bit lower rate of speed, and certain compression to transfer faster, which doesn't happen on other devices.

On the internet, there are sometimes written only maximum speeds(like you said - up to). The Class shows only minimum speed, Class 10 having minimum of 10 MB/s for write operation.

Android devices are not the same as Apple. Everything can't be the same, because it has been built different.

And FYI, I did read the whole post.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharpnShiny:
Thank you very much for explaining that :fingers-crossed: - that was exactly the extra kind of detail I wanted to understand the technology better - which in turn allows me to make better purchases. :)

What is roughly speaking, the best performance you can achieve with Android using an SD? What is the best performance a micro-USB can provide? On my new laptop, I made sure to get a USB 3.0 port but I'm guessing I won't be able to use that with Android until compatible devices are released. Devices with on-board storage as large as I'd like are uncommon and very expensive, so SD it is. Would a class 10 SD be the best you could get? I would be happy with a slight decrease in Apple-type performance, but 1 song every 4-5 seconds is too bad. Essentially, what I'm trying to do is to integrate my phone and media player in one device, without paying a fortune for an iPhone.

I just found this thread with some of the same intention: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1674373

Perhaps, better micro USB cable such as: http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=4989 + class 10 SD = mission kind of accomplished?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dSayonarab:
A 32GB Class 10 SDHC is the largest and fastest kind of SD card compatible with Arc/Arc S. Some people have had luck with larger cards, but officially SDXC isn't supported on 2011 Xperia phones.

Phones currently don't support USB 3.0 as they don't have the processing power or data bandwidth to support USB 3.0 transfer speeds. You're hard pressed to find anything that maxes out USB 2.0 apart from dedicated storage - the two devices that exceed USB 2.0 speeds that I own are an external hard drive and a card reader that I use with high-speed CompactFlash. I usually get 10MB/s writes using this with my Class 10 MicroSD.

To be honest, trying to write at high speeds through the phone's system is an exercise in futility - just get a good card reader, it doesn't have to be a USB 3.0 model (which are usually rather expensive and aimed at photographers) as SDHC maxes out around 10-12MB/s writes anyway.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniel75:
I got a 32 GB class 10 card with my phone when I got it. I move all apps to SD as much as possible, and also listen to a lot of music. I also take a lot of pictures and videos. So for me it was just calculated in as part of the cost of the phone when I bought it - it was a no-brainer.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharpnShiny:
You lucky thing, a 32GB class 10 SD with the phone? Hah that's great. Well how do you like the performance?

My plan is: new phone with excellent audio tech+class 10 SD+great earphones=very happy me. I'll have the phone next week, finally.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_torture:
Well I have the same card, and I never managed to cross 7MB/s, with large files, music or videos. Not on my old system, not on my new system. Not on Windows XP, not on Ubuntu, not on Windows 7. Not on 6 different USB ports on my old system, and not on 8 USB ports on my new system. Two different USB cables are tested also.

So I'm really curious to know how could anyone manage to get 15MB/s with this phone.

Do you mind to post screenshot while transferring data at 15MB/s?

Seems like a nice little tool for tweaking ROMs a bit. Hopefully you can add more features in the future, but even as it is, it should be handy for anyone who wants to tweak ROMs a little bit. By my understanding, it should allow the removal of preinstalled rubbish from stock ROMs, right?
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
I see you are using Ionic.Zip.dll the same one I used in Droid Manager for creating Custom Roms Too :D

But you have an issue bro

1- Make My Rom button doesn't work on the first run, I had to close and reopen the program.

2- the result zipped ROM will fail to flash in CWM & is twice in size than the original ROM

why it will fail, because if you open the result zipped file you will find a folder that has the project's title and the ROM files are inside that folder.

while CWM checks for META-INF folder on the root directory of the zipped ROM.

The reason why it's twice in size than the original ROM is because after the program unzips the base rom it doesn't delete it from workspace which causing "Ionic.Zip.dll" to include it in the result zipped rom making it twice in size than the original ROM.

Also please note that adding a data folder in the project will not lead into having anything inside /data/app after the rom is flashed because the updater-script must be modified to include the commands which tell CWM to: A- Mount Data Partition. B- Extract contents of data folder in the zipped file to Data Partition on the phone.

Also it would be better if your program doesn't fully remove the files from the hard disk, rather than just moving them to Recycle bin it's safer, since they can be retrieved ;)

I'm sorry for that comment but I thought I would give you a quick feedback since it's the main step in making a better program :)

Good luck :D

Hi [MENTION=3534037]filmaker[/MENTION] / All,

Looks like I've come to the party to late, as development on this has (sadly and unfortunately) come to an end... :(

I am looking for an App JUST LIKE THIS, that is easy to use.... That can modify other peoples roms, especially KitKat based...

I'm trying to rip out the Chinese features, text and Apps from a rom, and replace it with stock Google (english) versions.

This App looked good, however the rom it produced failed to install.. I'm sure I can figure it out with time, but wondered if there is anything else like this out there...

Thanks, Lister

Hi All,

Anyone know of a similar App to this one, it looks perfect... Just looks a bit dated now, as latest GApps is like ICS or JB (4.0.x or 4.1.2) / can't remember which??

Anyway, will try it again with a rom I am wanting to mod. But would be handy to know if anything else has replaced this??

Thanks can't wait to try it.

just a question is there any way to take parts of different ROMs like Resurrection remix Android q or any other ROMs and do a comparison then add what the difference is between them to make a ROM.

I have an ulefone armor 3T phone the has walkie-talkie capabilities I'm looking to expand whatever the phone can do including the RX and TX of the walkie-talkie Part

Or if there was a way to Snif out everything the phone is capable of and have total control over it including any spy features that may be embedded in the circuitry.

Thanks

~Twisted Wizard

P.S. There may be practical features hidden with in the phone that we are not aware of that's what I'm looking for.
