If I may interject: Try this setup...Baseband: 2.15.00.09.01 & PRI 1.77_003. Keep everything else the same for the time being & see how it goes for you. lowetax will indeed respond to your questions when he get an opportunity. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] JayStation3:
Thanks - I will try that and see how it works...
[EVO 4G Android Development] aburgthing:
Thanks for taking the time to run your experiment and for reporting your results. I've been busy at work but was thinking of doing the same when I got some free time. It's funny how good memories sometimes can be obscured or misinterpreted. The best thing about RLS4 was the HTC #17 kernel which was/is amazing. But the mods for RLS5 popped up like dandelions in the spring and they made the phone not only look good but run better with a few tricks. I saw someone here once note that they use a spreadsheet to track different changes and results. I wish I would have heeded said advise because it would give a better overall image of what I've done and although I hate to admit it, age, life's ups and downs and memory loss does seem to go hand in hand. :rolleyes: Long story short, I guess I'm RLS5ver for the foreseeable future until we see that Warm Gingerbread come out of the oven.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aburgthing:
Hey k2buckey. I've been following this thread over three different forums now and indeed have the app and kernel downloaded. Being the cautious flasher I am can you tell us a little about the kernel used to achieve this milestone? It is a system level kernel right? How does it affect the overall use of the phone and the other system related functions? Can't wait to try it out and haven't seen any untoward affects noted but was just wondering.
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
I'm not too sure what exactly was done to this kernel to make this work. As I understand it, it is a modified stock kernel, that has drivers and stuff hacked/added to allow for the full hdmi out mirroring. It does seem to affect the performance of my phone, for sure. It slows it down a bit, noticeable when scrolling. By no means does it make it un-useable, and I will probably keep running it, and play with this app for a while. It's pretty neat. Also, I'm not sure if this is specific to my phone, as I haven't seen it mentioned by anyone else, but my gallery app won't open up. It just force closes every time I try to open it, so that's kind of a bummer. Perhaps its the ROM I'm on (I flashed King's Ultra Froyo yesterday to give it a test run. Not a bad ROM at all) I'm either gonna nandroid back to RLS5 or RLS4, I can't decide, then try it again. I'm hopeful that this app can be perfected, and that the slowness of the kernel can be addressed. From what I understand, Orrebamas said that the drivers and other stuff needed for hdmi to work will be able to cooked into other kernels by the devs, so hopefully netarchy can cook these drivers into his kernels, so we can have the best of both worlds, hdmi out and nets kernels. That would be sick.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
i had reverted my PRI back for something else recently,

but can't recall what tax form it was on ...

so yesterday flashed RLS 4 with just prior PRI,

and had a never-ending white evo screen ...

letting htc #17 'settle' now with RLS 5

while i e-file myself to death

but have feeling i'll wind up back with latest radio and PRI

and one of Net's kernels (without Hurt Locker SBC)

battery life really doesn't matter much to me now -

working 18/7 i can always plug in - and have a good spare -

but this summer when i'm at a race site from 6 am to 7 pm,

that's when it would be more important,

although i ain't on the phone too much at the races !

(except to talk to the people on the other side of the river)

i think that troublemaker Product F(red) uses htc #17

when he graces our presence reverting back to Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS 5 :)

what's the verdict with #17 Fred ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Best size for the read-ahead (imho) is 256. Here's a zip that you can flash that'll set yours to 256.

If you're fortunate enough to have a 16 or 32 G class 6 or better SD Card, you could try the 512 or 1024. They'll work well on bigger, faster cards.

But even on the Class 2 8 gig that came with the phone, the 256 WILL speed things up considerably.

:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Have you been able to test this? I have a 32GB class10 and I can't quantify any improvement over 128.

I have a baseline of the card's speed from benchmarking on the pc which is 11 read/ 21 write. I can't find any combination of read ahead or heap size that approaches the real speed.

I've seen people post speeds of 18/24, and whenever I've ask what they did, I get no response.

From my EVO when I should probably be doing something else instead.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Hate to say this, but you may have a "frauded" Class 10...for the most part, they're really class 2 or 4. They've flooded the market for a while now.

I did confirm a huge bump on a real C10/32G card with the 512 and a moderate one with 1024. But, at very least, you should see a difference with the 256 on any card.

When you do a speed test (with the test I'm attaching) and NO read-ahead, what's the speed of the card? With 128 read-ahead? With 256?

Post, and let us know. Also, your setup...A2SD (not Apps 2 SD)? Mods? Kernel? You should be seeing a better increase...:(

And, btw, no one is legitimately getting 18 as their first number. That first number will correlate with the class card you have (give or take 1). That's the write speed, which the read-ahead cache doesn't affect. It's the second number you'll see a difference in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Can someone test the attached Rosie for me? I am currently doing a backup/restore back to RLS 5 and want to make sure this mod works. Thanks!

i thought there was something calk's didn't wipe ?

dalvik cache on sd card ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
PLEASE DO!!!!!

;)

I did not know that it didn't wipe dalvik if you have it set up on your SD. Thanks. I think I just assumed since there was a request for instructions as well as the file itself, the user wasn't that advanced (no offense intended, we were all noobs at some point).

:cool:

Waaaaay off topic, but if you're film/Oscar fans, the absolute best entertainment awards show is on now (and re-reun throughout the night) on IFC Channel, The Independent Spirit Awards. It takes place in a big tent on the beach in Santa Monica, no bleeping out anything, no time limits on speeches, everyone's relaxed/casual, and a lot of big stars, mixed with unknowns, getting awards for small, low-budget Indie films. Awesome.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I posted this a while back in the SD speed thread. Tested a bunch of cards. 32M heap. 512MB ext3 partition, DT's a2sd. Tested 4 microSD cards. Attached are the results from the phone and the 2 desktop benchmarks. I know the lowest number is the class of the SD, which is always going to be the write speed; and based on that, this 32GB class 10 checks out.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks.

Edit: I have more benchmark comparisons. Ask if you want to see additional ones.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:

[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Thank you for your time Bruce. I really just wanted to make sure the phone was back into center and the red icons came through. Hehe. I should have warned you it was 4x4. Sorry. Now you can restore and go back on with your taxes. Thanks. :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
YUp, you seem to have a legit C10, based on the consistent 10-11.99 write speed. I'm stumped, that's really strange.

I'm not at all familiar with DT A2SD. I never felt I needed it, and from the constant flow of trouble-posts, it just never seemed worth it to me. I don't have that many memory-hog programs.

But I do wonder if the A2SD is affecting your read speeds... Can anyone who knows (pssssst...FrankReyes) chime in?

:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
OK dude, keep doing yer thing ! a lot of appreciative people liking it !

not sure about that Neil, but i think i read a post somewhere about it ...

actually going to try Calk's Clear Temp now

(after i back up my sd card)
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
FrankReyes - now THERE is a spreadsheet guy :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I know. I've tried heap sizes from 24, 32, and 36MB; no change.

I use a2sd just for apps; I moved dalvik to /data so it wouldn't be dependent on having that SD in place. I disabled swap partitioning as well. I got pretty familiar with DT a2sd, but I don't see how that would affect SD speed from the app. I thought this app only tested FAT32 partitions.

Man, consider me stumped (again). :confused:

[EVO 4G Android Development] frankpreyes:
Hey guys, sorry for the late post. I saw my name this morning concerning a2sd and read aheads. What is the question concerning the class 10 card? I now have a Class 10 card, and have recently set the read ahead buffer to 512K, up from 256K. My read ahead speed has indeed improved, but I can't remember the old read number using the sdcard apk posted in this forum. Looks like the OP is using a different program to check his read speeds. Looks like a PC program? That may be the reason for his results? I would have him try the green apk posted here previously. Using the SD card Speed Test apk I get 11 write and 16 read with my buffer set to 512K (faster than 256K). My class 10 is a patriot, however, so may not be as good as a lexar, but for $93.00, worth it,

I've been busy this weekend installing a xmas present (video surveillance system for my home) and hanging with my son test driving a Kia Optima turbo so I have not been checking this thread. I spread sheeted this car against other lightweight, automatic trans, high miles/gallon intermediate cars and it came out on top. Scared the poop out of my son when it was my turn to test drive. I found my next car!!!! Totally off topic! 34 mpg highway and 267 hp!
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I attached 3 graphs on my previous post regarding SD speeds. The first one is comparing 4 microSD cards I have laying around using the Speed Test apk you are referring to. The next 2 attachments are PC benchmarks with 2 different PC programs to verify my class10 is indeed a class 10.

The original reason I brought this up here is that when I hear of increased SD performance w/ anything over 128kb, I ask what was done and how it was quantified. I'm glad to have the extra capacity of the 32gb, but its performance for me is very close to my 16gb class 2 PNY card; and no matter what I do, I can't squeeze more performance out of that 32gb.

Anyways, putting the EVO down...walking away.....deep breath...
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Thank you, Tommy. I'll download and flash it momentarily. It's looks good in the photo, by the way. Thanks again, my friend. By the way, where is the link to download? You did say it was posted. Posted where? Does the previous links to the test versions have the updated zip file?

[EVO 4G Android Development] frankpreyes:
When I originally tested the sandisk class 2 sdcard that came with my evo, I was getting 2 write and 4 read, without changing the read ahead buffer. After changing it to 128K, I was able to get 6 read speeds.

I then purchased a 32gb Sandisk card that was supposed to be a class 4 card, but it checked out at class 2. Best read speed I was able to get was 8 with, again the 128K read ahead buffer.

Now I have a Patriot Class 10 card. You saw my read ahead speed for the 512 buffer of 16. Testing with the 256K buffer, I get 13, write is still 10. When I flash the 1024 read ahead buffer I get 15 to 16, so essentially no change. Flashing back to 512K.

FYI, I have the 2.7.5.3 beta 04 DT a2sd installed with a 24 mb cache, 512:1024ext partition, Dalvik cache on sd card and zipalign set on boot.

I'm not getting the 20 speeds reported, but the difference between 4 and 16 is definitely noticeable, especially when using the 3d gallery app. I hope this helps!

The market app should not be affecting your internet speed. More than likely, it is due to outdated hosts from the adfree app that is cooked in this rom (RLS5).

Please explain in detail. Are you stating that you cannot read anything in the market app, other apps or your entire phone. Are the fonts clear, white text or same colored background or what?

I'm not.

With a root level file manager like Root Explorer, maneuver to the /system/app/ folder and rename the MarketUpdater.apk to something like MarketUpdater.old. I haven't used Titanium Backup in quite a while, but I think you're able to "freeze" the MarketUpdater.apk with it.
