Can I setup Apps2SD on my stock 1gb or will the card be too slow?
Well i dont know but i dont think so. Alot of people in these forums told me and other people that a class 2 8gb would cause problems and would slow down my device, but i guess there wrong because im pushing this card to its limit with no lags and no probs. So i will tell you, go ahead and use what you got.
I wouldn't I would go with a class 6 card at least if you want to put apps on a SDcard.
as long as it has a write/read speed of over 6mbs your fine to use that. so just bench it and find out for yourself. you dont want anything slower than 4mb.
read this thread, tons of info on write speeds and benching.

I did it for the past 4 months and haven't had any problems whatsoever. I was also running cache to sd as well. You won't notice as much of a performance boost, but you will notice a boost, since you have alot more memory available on the phone.
I actually did it this morning with my stock 1GB sd card. Everything is peachy

I got apps2sd on my 8gb. I see what you saying, but budget wise hes probably just trying to use what he has. I have a class 2 8gb and i habe no probs when i sent my apps and cache to my sd. But if he has the money i would recommend the 6 class 8gb also.

Exactly just trying to save a buck or two while I test it before going for a class 6. Thanks everyone for your comments.
I Also have a 4g class 2 SD card with well over 60 apps installed, along with my dalvik-cache. I have 65mb free on my phone and My phone runs amazing. I'm sure that the Class six would load apps faster due to the higher flash memory. But I have no experienced a single problem with my 4g class 2 card.
Neither have I.
If you guys do a test on the mSD you would find out that the stock card is actually a Class 6. Enjoy
update
Just thought I'd post back here to let you know that I got my Apps moved over pefectly to my stock card with no problems. Thanks again for all your help. I hope to pick up a class 6 8gb card soon! .

Thats good to hear but i thought classes were specs for sdhc cards only?
Buy a good SD Card
I bought a 4gb class 6 card, and when i partition it to do apps to sd it doesnt work and corrupts the disk. so make sure you buy a quality card, as I am now going to buy a better card so I can do apps to sd.
go to newegg.com that is where i am going to get mine, and choose sandisk, A-data or kingston or another quality sd card. 4gb or more is what i've seen suggested, i am going to get the 8gb, there's one i found for 20.00 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211341
good luck!

FYI
MicroCenter has 8gb class 6 cards for $15 if you have one in the area. I bought mine back in october...no problems at all.
ok i got a nexus one and im using apps2sd I want more memory like 16gb I can get a class 2 for like 40 bucks but im under the impression that i need a class 4 or 6 what's the best for the money or should I just get the class 2? I mean im using a class 2 card now and I've had no problems with it
I cant seem to find a higher class card. I would really love one. Right now i have a class 4 4gig. I would also love an upgrade soon
For linux swap on the SD card you'd want a higher class card, but is it really critical for Apps2SD? Most of the Class 2 cards have a fairly respectable read speed - it's the write speed where they fall down. The main area you might notice a slower card would be on installing new apps. I'm not sure if your Apps2SD solution includes storing app data on the card, but the performance impact of that would depend on how much data the app keeps locally.

Thanks! Ive never heard of this brand has anybody used a sd card made by "a-data" specifically for apps2sd? Feedback on this item would help me decide to take the plunge
If not i guess I'll still get it someone has to go first right?

no...newegg does not ship overseas
btw i use the 16gb a-data card and have no issues at all...it a much better price point compared to the newer 32gb cards at over 200 bucks
I'm using a class 2 16Gb SanDisk card and haven't had any issues with it.
Write speed can be a little slow, as someone mentioned. So installing large apps can take a little longer.
The /data directory is still on the internal storage, not on the card.
I don't have a Swap partition on my card either.
Music, movies, games, and apps have all been fine using app2sd on CM 5.0.5.3.
I got the Ridata class 6 from newegg when it was available for $48. reviews/speed are good.

Damn...wish I saw your post..2 days earlier...I was contemplating on getting a class 2...Oh, well...Now I wish I didn't see your post! LoL
I recently was looking for a fast MicroSDHC card and greatly considered Kingston's CLASS 10 card. Pricey, but should be fast.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139120
Ultimately I settled for an 8GB Transcend, Class 6. I need to wait for the costs to come down on the larger, faster cards.

Which SSD cards will work with and are best suited for the Desire S?
At the moment I have a 2Gb Scan disk that came with the phone and I want to get a 32Gb if preferable but want better speeds.

It isn't an SSD (Solid-State Disk) card - it is a microSD card. HUGE difference
From experience - and what I seem to remember being posted here before - there is no real point in going above a Class 6 card. I am running a Sandisk 32GB Class 4 and it is more than good enough for storage, music, photos etc.

So getting a class 10 won't help with access/write speeds? Is there any specific reason as to why you say so?

Have a search through the DS forums as I can't be bothered to do it for you. I seem to remember that anything faster than a Class 6 is wasted as the DS can't actually read/write any faster than that.

It is pointless to have such cards in a phone, who needs to handle small files randomly. Class 10 and 6 are designed to write/read large files quickly (photography).

Hello,
I wanted to know, how much gb sdcard can our fit support (64,32,16,etc)? Which Class/Speed should I buy and what is the avg price of it?
I have a 2gb sdcard which came with the fit and is not at all sufficient for me.
Thanks!!

You can have upto 32 GB..
The more the class,the better the speed and performance.
Buy atleast nothing below class 4..
and costs from Rs.200 to 2000 or even more..

The largest class is the class 10. (Class: 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10).
You need to purchase Micro SD Card.
The rest is all up already answered.
Our fit supports SD cards up 2 32gb of capacity. but it will definitely decrease d speed.2 avoid this choose 16 GB SD card. Remember, 4 higher speed u need a class 10 SD card!

Hello my question is simple, everybody knows about fits low ram issue.
If i buy class 10 sd card (ex: 16gb), can i give 1 gb ram to phone with swap ?
Will it effect to performance ? System cpu speed enough but ram really low
Thx for answers...

You could use SD card with swap to extend the ram but it going to be dead within 2 weeks because of the exessive Reads/Writes
I did used for a couple of days a 10 class Sandisk of 8GB with swap enabled and did not impact so much on performance.
Today bought http://www.digitalversus.com/memory-card/lexar-micro-sdhc-32-gb-class-10-uhs-1-600x-p16172/test.html (not from amazon but same card), 512mb ext4 and 256mb for swap with CWM use... (I will use high values later )
Results are okay, everything faster than i imagine. A lot of cards have 2 year guarantee, like this one. If your card dead in 2 week like k3eNaNz said, you can change easily in my opinion ( so use local market). And developer said 7 years usage time...
However i'm so happy , i'll add more virtual ram to my fit without speed loss
1gb ram on galaxy fit not bad

Yes a lot of class10 - 8gb microsd card around. Search in xda " clockworkmode swap" you can find many topic about this.
But remember, you should need class 10 or above sd card, ext4 and swap supported kernel too. ( so a lot of kernel and rom support these functions)

I also use 32GB class 10 sdcard. But I'll never try swapping. Coz even if I do have backup on my laptop but windows 7 disonnects the sdcard during copy/paste via card reader. So in case my sdcard is dead by applying swap & I buy new one...windows wont allow me copy files back... & using FTP to transfer files is very tiring process with possibility of errors...But it's my opinion guys.
Swapping not like real ram, like i said virtual ram. But All of you be can sure, virtual ram really boost the (our) phones x10 times.
Example: closed ext swap last night (from clock work mode) and installed "ram manager pro." And added 1gb (1024mb) (also will add 2048mb) swap ram to my fit. I did because of clcokworkmode give only 256mb swap ram.
Result: All apk's first open really open like vanilla (default). But after second one, you can see improvement. Speed comes with smile. And best thing for you, ram optimitizion scripts and task killers not necessary. Because swap file directly answer your response with 30mb/ps(+) read rate.
Recommend: Try with 8gb class 10 sd cards, they're cheap nowadays, you won't regret
Tip: Galaxy fit support only (maximum) 32gb sd cards.
