We all know that PCs use pagefile, that helps when running on small amount of RAM. Our UNIs have 64mb, that's not enough, it alows us to launch 1-2 programs simultanously and that's all. running out of RAM!
I wonder, is it possible to assign part of our SD card's memory (approx 64mb) as RAM (pagefile or memory dump, doesn't matter). It will be rather slow than infeneon chips but it's worth trying&using
Dear ROM developers, think about it. Maybe it's possible...

Well this has already been talked about before, but maybe not here...
You should take a look at this, as it points out why this is currently not possible.

Even if one was able to get a working method, it would be highly risky and incredibly slow. The Bus speed is so low on the Uni, and having "Data" paged to your SD Card would be a very dangerous solution to running a few more apps at once. Performance wise, it would be like paging to a USB 1 flash drive on your pc....
I would rather know my open data is safe than take the chance of it being corrupted or lost on SD card.
Just my views....... wait for the 128 mb upgrades........
And, instead of having 45Mb storage and 50Mb of RAM, is it possible to make 20Mb storage and 75mb of RAM???
or used the storage intern for the pagefile???
It is really freaking slow AND is never recognized by my 8125. I cant partition it either through windows or wm5storage. It transfers at about 30k/sec.... rediculously slowl. Im running XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 FINAL full!. Is there any patch or update or trick I can pull to get my 8125 to recognize my 4gb kingston minisd? Or atleast increse its speed?
Thanks,
Rico

I am sorry but Wizard is not suporting 4GB miniSD card very well. Some people reported, that some cards are working, but almost all are not working specialy because new cards are SDHC which need more specific hardware. So if it is your case and your card is SDHC there is no chance to get it work. If not make sure your card is formated to FAT16, try it in some memory card reader, if it works. And at the end this is not a good thread for memory cards. And 4GB miniSD cards have been already discused in Wizard accessories or Wizard upgrading thread, so search there your answers...
Try this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293556
I was just about to, but I got side-tracked, and now it's unreasonably late. I'll try it tomorrow if you will....
Scuse me lady...
Are you xtremely sure that this works...? it works for you?
Does you know that if you instal a hardware patch it never recognize the SD slot none SD card till you upgrade again or hardreset and it will cost many info?
so...
A men On hermes thread told me the newer versions of porting ROMS Builds has an entrie that allow read SDHC I think since 20273 but....
Does your wizard has it? seee on my Shipped ROM from Hermes WM6.0 already comes with this Reg entrie and so...
Is not the Software... cause if it would... the old .1933 that builds the rom I have it never comes ok? so...
You can see if the wizard has it and try this... I cant recomend it but make a high research and try it before post try this
its not recomended to do that...
first make it on your then recomend...
This is the REG
HKLM/drivers/sdcard/clientdrivers/class/SDmemoryclass
"inside... High_Capacity and many inside too...
Block transfer
dll
iclass
prefix
profile
So...
if wanna try it...
search for it on hermes threads.
So I tried it today (Sat, 11/8)
It didn't work, and nothing blew up, either. I guess I appreciate the recommendation, though.
Yes, I know there's a lot out there to try to solve this, but this looked easy, and I thought I'd offer it since you seemed to be looking for things to try.
I think I was very clear about not having tried it yet, so why did you ask me if I was sure it worked?
I back up everything daily, so it's pretty easy for me to reflash, or hard reset. No "data cost" ever. I'd recommend it. I guess being prepared makes me look pretty reckless when it comes to trying new things.
The fix also includes dlls, I didn't bother analyzing it, checking to see what the reg entry was in the fix, checking my own registry, or reading any Hemes threads. I don't have time. Again, if it blows up, I can handle it. If I weren't fully backed up I'd spend more time doing research on the dozens of fixes I try than I do backing up and recovering (I haven't had to for over a year, now). I don't generally care about the code details and what happens on other gadgets I will never own.
Good luck with this.
P.S. Please check my signature.
i am using amp v3 rom wm6.1
ust want to know how much capacity does wizard can supoort.
i have 1gb working well,can i upgrade to 2/3 gb & works well...
have you tried the SanDisk microSD with adapter?
I have it working on mine. faster than the old 1gb Kingston I used to have. It maybe the problem with the card it self.
try a different brand, or try the "ultra" series as well. they may have a better transfer rate as they were made for video games.
there is also an issue with formating the card:
if you decide to format using xp to fat32 it will run slower. unfortunately, the only way to recover it propperly was to put it into my camera and have it format back to fat16. xp would not do it.
again, i think your problem is kingston. they are good for ram on PC/MAC; but i do not think they have gotten the sd memory dow yet. next time get the origional "SD/SanDisk II"
good luck.
The speed is fine after I formated back to fat 16, thanks to my handy camera. But I cant seem to partition the damn thing into two 2gb cards... any thoughts? Ive done the wm5storage, card reader, xp/vista, partition magic, fdisk thing and none have worked thus far. Thoughts?

Hi
Its a registry hack just go to hklm/drivers/sdcard/clientdrivers/class/sdmemory_class and here modify the value of "Blocktransfersize" from 128 to 64 it fix the media player sound cracking but also slightly decrease the data writing speed on ur card. this will not harm ur card and ur card will work perfectly with ur card reader and if u dont use the card reader than when u want to transfer large amount of data(above 256 mb) u can increase this value upto 512.

this dude has been doing some sick stuff. Some of his software may be able to help.
Is it really worth upgrading from the amaze to the one s??!!
Probably not unless you REALLY have to have ICS right away and the upgraded camera hardware. I'd say wait until you're upgrade eligible, unless you are now, in which case I'd probably upgrade cause I really like this phone.

It's a lot more future proof than the Amaze IMO, probably going to have a lot more development as well.

why should u bet all your music collection in your phone, when u wont listen to all of it anyway?
ATM I have 8gb sdcard, and still 1gb left + alot of music I dont even listen to. I could easy free up even more space...
Just dont take "all the ****s" with you, Change music in your phone time by time instead of taking it all with you and just "skip -> skip -> skip -> 5x skip -> ok this is nice song"
if you bought premium navigation, 16GB is not enough.

from name I understand its some kind of GPS where maps are saved on your sdcard?
If so, Im using mapdroyid which also saved maps on my sdcard, still have free space.
Im wondering, with no sd card, how will rooting and installing roms/backups and what not work now.
I mean, when you have to wipe the phone, youre gonna have to copy all that stuff on the phone to a PC and then move it back later?
Thats one of the things that made me iffy on the one s.
Storage isnt an issue... it comes with 25gb drobox space, You can take all your stuff with you..
And are you really gunna need 12gb worth of pics and music and whatever on your phone ?? As said above its easy to just swap stuff over, Load it back to dropbox and download something else. Keep it fresh
And i think its silly they dont have an SD slot, But look how thin this device is ! its soo slim, compromises had to be made..
And when you do a wipe, Unless you wipe internal SD card, (which you dont need to when doing a 'wipe') all your media will remain, Only the partition that keeps apps and data will be wiped. So again, Its no big deal..
Look at the potential this phone has, when development starts, nothing is gonna keep this bad boy down
No
azzledazzle is wright, but you can also wipe the sd partition and then mount usb storage to copy files on it (rom...gapps) from cwm recovery. I did that on Nexus S last night.

I think people are getting too much of a hard on for Krait. Yes, the S4 soc is amazing. But there are plenty of downers to this phone already.
1) HTC's amazing track record with batteries... Don't get me wrong, love HTC... but omg I've had to replace batteries on several phones after a year. Much nicer when you can just pay $20 for a chinese battery off amazon that works wonders as opposed to having to get the phone serviced.
I mean, honestly, why couldn't the phone have been build like the Sensation/Amaze and lift off that awesome aluminum back?
2) T-Mobile's coverage and the 25 GB of cloud storage - Depending on where you live, this 25gb is gonna SUCK because you can't access it worth a damn.
Though to be fare, everyone who's said "Just swap out your data" is completely right. You don't NEED 32gb of storage on your phone unless you want to be all "Hey, look at all the **** I've got." Which is something the cult of Apple has nurtured in a lot of people through iTunes.
3) Bottleneck - The parts are better than the software they run on. Honestly, this isn't a gaming PC. This isn't a PC at all. You can't just keep throwing higher and higher end parts into a phone expecting it to work better, you hit a performance plateau. Beyond benchmarks, we are starting to see android's limits at this point in standard use. I honestly feel that the HTC Sensation and Amaze are the best Gingerbread and ICS will offer in phones. Everything else is just stylish masturbation.
4) The Micro Arc Oxidation treatment has been shown to not be as durable on some phones as it should be. I've seen a couple blogs and several owners attest to this. If I can't have my HTC One S with that kickass plasma treatment and red accents without it flaking off I don't want it at all
Really guys, the Amaze (and it's lil bro the Sensation) are both great phones. If you don't mind taking the time to upgrade the sensation to a sensation xe rom you can get a very stable 1.5-1.7 ghz overclock and the Amaze battery fits in it, leaving you with one very very nice piece of machine. I got one to replace a busted Amaze and it runs very nice and I almost don't want to use my Amaze again now that it's fixed...
But back on to the One S... It's pretty, but it's really just HTC's one up of the Galaxy Nexus and Razr MAXX. Don't give in to the stylistic oneupmanship, just hold off and get the next monster they put out. I guarantee you we will see a monster of a phone in a few months that will basically be the next Amaze.
It's small and stylish. Feels great to hold in the hand as opposed to the other giants HTC has released during the years. Why all so called "flagship" models must have ridiculous screen sizes is beyond my understanding - the One S fits right in where it belongs and I think the upgrade is more on the aesthetic side than anything...
Like the above poster, I don't think that the storage space is an issue at all. (Coming previously from a Galaxy S 8gb model which I never really maxed out) and use the cloud if you need the space, hell it's even recommended why wouldn't you want your stuff sync'd all the time? I don't really see the point in having on board storage that I can't backup 24/7 anyway and with today's free data plans, most of us don't care for storing things locally.
But that's just my 2c.

What about when you're somewhere where theres no service or limited service. Viewing, transferring or downloading from dropbox will be impossible.
Or how about this senerio, starting to have to start saving our best, most intimate photos, important files to dropbox because you're already out of space in internal storage and dropbox crashes. Everything lost, forever.
No SD card slot for expandable storage is ridiculous.
For me it makes perfect sense. All my music is streamed through our Subsonic server, pictures auto update to a private G+ album, docs are on Gdocs.
If I'm going to the mountains I just preload some music and I'm good to go.
Physical storage is dying; long live the cloud

I agree wholeheartedly. I get why people don't like the cloud but I have never had any issues with cloud storage. I also use Subsonic to stream my music and it works great. The Subsonic app also caches music on my phone so if I have a bad connection I still have tunes. Also, I have no problem uploading my pictures and everything to Dropbox. Honestly, the lack of storage doesn't concern me at all.

Yea, you're right. I won't be going for the one s for sure. Amaze will be a better choice.
Mobile devices suppost to help by having data with you, but it cannot replace PC if u want all ur things with u then it wont be so mobile anymore, thats why ppl make cloud storage and cloud computing

Hey Guys,
I finally got my phone to work at a decent speed. Here are the things I did:
1. Used Apps2SD to move the apps from internal storage to SD Card. Wondering why this helped? As far as I understand the apps are run in RAM and internal storage is used for storing data and apks etc. RAM is freed up by Android as and when needed but freeing up internal storage doesn't give android more RAM.
2. Use Autorun Manager to prevent some apps from starting up and remaining in memory. Now this I understand because this gives more RAM to android and avoids unnecessary swapping when applications are started up.
3. Used 'SD Booster' to increase sd cache size to 8192Kb. This gave some initial benefits but later on it became very slow as usual.
Bottom line is I am still puzzled by Android memory and SD card management. I am pretty sure though process swapping in and out of memory is what caused my phone to slow down. My Samsung Droid Charge is supposed to have 512MB of RAM but most memory managers show only 374MB and 2 GB of internal storage and most tools show only 1.2GB. Why would this be? Am I missing something or should I use a different tool to analyze my memory.
Not sure about RAM but usually when u buy a hard drive the bigger the hard drive the lower the actual number of gigs. Maybe it is actually 1.2GB

1. This one must be a placebo effect because if anything moving apps to sd card will make the phone slower. Our internal memory has way higher i/o speeds (especially on ext4) than the measly class 2 sd.
2. This is usually not a good idea. The processes you "block" will actually still run but they will be insta-killed. They will keep trying to start up and will drain the battery.

Thats what I thought. Im no guru, but out of all the reading Ive done, they have all said that moving apps from the sdcard to internal speeds up things.
Im looking at ways to speed up my wife's droid charge. Shes been complaining about it and finally gave me the go on rooting and maybee ROMing. I would like to stick to stock if possible so she wont run into any problems but if I have to I will install a custom rom. Any links?
Nope this is no placebo effect. The phone has become very fast. There are several posts that say that moving the apps to sd card speeds up the phone. In fact of all the things this is what sped up my phone the most. Why else would app2sd be so popular? Read #4 on http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/b...lean-up-and-speed-up-your-android-smartphone/ .
To further speed up my phone I am trying to overclock. My phone is stable at 1.2GHz but at 1.3 GHz it reboots after some time. To make it stable at 1.3GHz should I increase the voltage at that frequency?

Read it again. That's only about getting extra app space on smaller-storage devices. They actually recommend against moving things you use frequently in your linked article.
I'm with the others. Any gains you're seeing from this are placebo. There's nothing inherently faster about external storage.

It has a total of 512MB RAM, and that is for everything, so the GPU and other such things have to take their share from the total pool. On the GB releases, that leaves us with 374MB. It's better than it used to be. On the Froyo releases, we only had 327MB to work with.

No, on a hard drive (or solid state drives or even SD/memory cards), what you buy is what you get. However, due to formatting, space reserved for backup/spare sectors, and what is considered a "gigabyte" to manufacturers vs consumers (1000 mb vs 1024 mb) you often end up with around 95% (probably off on that percentage) of the stated capacity. With RAM this is not the case, as that type of memory doesn't need formatting as its holding raw data with the computer making up its structure. And manufacturers of RAM are in agreement with consumers as to what a gig is.

This is the difference between a gigabyte and a gibibyte. Hard drives are usually advertised in gigabytes (literally 1 billion bytes), while most OSes use gibibytes (2^30 bytes, or 1,073,741,824 bytes), since they do everything in "base 2", or binary. So an advertised 10GB hard drive has 10 billion bytes. Once you format the drive, the OS reports size in gibibytes, so you end up with:
Code:
10,000,000,000 / 1,073,741,824 = ~9.31GiB
That's also why if you look on most hard drive packages, it says "formatted size may be different than advertised size" or something similar.
Just a random fact of the day. Feel free to ignore it.
On topic: I don't believe the giga/gibi (or in the case of phone RAM, mega/mebi) is the issue. 512MB converted to mebibytes is roughly 488MiB. I believe the Charge is a 512MB device with some of that memory reserved for OS/system-only purposes. I could be wrong on that, however, so if anyone could clarify that'd be great.
Edit: Could have sworn I read through all of the replies before replying myself. I guess I didn't because multiple people beat me on both points by a day. Sorry about that duplicate info.

The number one lesson I learned from buying this phone
Check the amount of run time memory before you buy a phone, especially if you have two companies like Verizon and Samsung loading bloatware. You were forced to root the phone and rid yourself of the bloatware, or not buy apps. I totally agree with the OP. He is 100% correct about the run time memory.
So I restored back to factory to get ready for another root. After the required Verizon and Samsung updates, hitting the clear memory button, I'm using 268MB of 373MB. Now I know the OS can swap, (because we love paging), but it really is ridiculous. I can't wait until March. Good luck everyone.

I couldn't understand what you are saying here. From what I understand you are saying that is that when you rooted your phone you had 512MB of memory but after you installed Verizon and Samsung updates it started saying you had 373MB. So is it that Samsung and Verizon updates are taking away about 147 MB of memory? What is going to happen in March?

No. Hardware wise the Charge has a total of 512 mb of RAM. The GPU and other hardware have to take from that pool, and the end result is that the Android OS has 373 MB of RAM to use. Verizon and Samsung bloatware and updates have no control over the hardware aspect, but the bloatware DOES utilize some ram while the phone is running (but does not take from that pool). March is probably when his upgrade is.

I am using Eclipse 1.4 with PBJ.
Ok so I can clearly see that my phone is becoming slow again. Not sure as to what it is related to. Though one thing that surprises me is that I overclocked the CPU to 1.2 GHz and set the governor as 'conservative' and sometimes even ' smartassv2' but it changes to 'ondemand' even though I never changed it to that value. Why is this happening?

Ok so I can clearly see that my phone is becoming slow again. Not sure as to what it is related to. Though one thing that surprises me is that I overclocked the CPU to 1.2 GHz and set the governor as 'conservative' and sometimes even ' smartassv2' but it changes to 'ondemand' even though I never changed it to that value. Why is this happening?

Kernel? OC app?

Plugging the phone into a pc does that for some reason.

I have to agree that even though my phone was initially fast it slowed down considerably after some time. Frustrated I then backuped my phone using Titanium backup and installed Tweaked 2.2 Rom + PBJ. But this time I did the conversion to EXT4 and the phone has become super snappy and the fastest I have ever seen. However, I am not rejoicing right now because I have only installed some very necessary apps like navigation, yelp etc. Don't know if the phone will be come slow after I install more apps. On Seepu I can see for the first time my used memory is green and this probably is a major reason why the phone has speeded up. Another factor is the EXT4 conversion.
Infinity was known for slowing down over a short period of time. Tweaked 2.2 is quite a bit better. But running a Droid Charge for several days without rebooting it once in a while will cause it to slow down too. Just reboot when it starts slowing down. It should help.
Before I add any more apps I want to save this state of the phone so that I can go back to this if the performance degrades. What do I have to do for this? I used Titanium backup but I see that it saves app data and you have to install each individual app. What I want is to make one click and restore my phone back to the state it previously was. Should I do a nandroid backup
I know - this is a general question, but since it has come up since I've upgraded to S7, I will include it here...
I have purchased a 128gB uSD, upgrading from my 64 which was packed... I have purchased 2 of the new uSD since they were on offer, and I had no issue with formatting in my mobile... copying is also seemingly ok - I get a decent average speed and no errors, but after, if I try to access some directories, I get an error message (some generic, useless, "problem with file/directory" type message)... same with files - some don't open, or some (images) open but are corrupt and useless...
this happens with both cards, so I doubt its due to a defect in the card (either that or I am really unlucky)...
has anyone had such a problem? how do I copy all the old files from my uSD to the new one?
thanks in advance...
Did you buy them from a good source?
Often there are fakes where the fakers have messed with the partition tables (or whatever) to make them look like much bigger cards. They even look like they are copying the data ok but when you try to access it ...... sounds like what you are encountering to me.
Personally I would try copying and expanding the entire partitions using something like qparted or mini tool it's usually quicker too
In fact im not 100% sure of the source- it was my first (maybe last?) purchase via geek and paid admittedly real cheap (not sure if guidelines forbid price talk)
But... they seem to be trascend, as was advertised, and the build quality is good... write speed is what i would expect from a class10... or do i write them off to a scam?
