Can anyone tell me if using a class 2 card slow down the hero build?
Should I switch to a class 6? and if so how will it improve things?
And finally how CAN i copy my apps on sd ext2 to windows.
please help thanks
hit me up I am willing to donate if i get this working =)
I saw this on XDA front page and thought this might be something that Galaxy s users would be interested in since the phone has so low internal memory.
I havent tried this on my Galaxy S because im gonna be selling it anyday now but hopefully this helps out.

This is great news!
This script does not work on our phones. Our ROM doesn't automatically boot scripts that are inside the init.d folder. We don't even have an init.d folder and even if you created it the script will not run on boot.
I'm looking for a workaround.
**EDIT**
If you download SD Card Booster from the market (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vaelek.sdspeedboost&feature=search_result) it will do the same as the script and it will change the value on boot.
I confirmed this myself.
**EDIT**
My SD card speed results using SD Tools:

I left the speed at 2048. Post your results.
PS... I'm using the stock SD card.

No. Just install it.
I couldnt run the script because I'm missing the /system/xbin/echo binary so simply bought it off the market (that app just run these scripts). instant reward. 9.5 write and 31.5 read at 2560.
That is, with the Vibrant's built in SD card. Don't have a tool to test the external card yet.
Hm. I'm not getting the same results using a 32gb card and the app set to 2048.

You have to play around with the cache size. The 'optimum' speed varies with each SD card.

Ok I just bought a 32gb micro sd card.. and I put it in my phone..
how do i make that the primary card that everything gets downloaded it will go there...
because as of right now, I cant even move my games or apps to the external sd card.
You cant.
I'd guess it wouldn't be possible without any custom scripting, similar to apps2sd.
Why would you want to move your games/apps to the sd card?
If you go to "Manage Applications" most apps can be moved to SD card.

But only to the internal SD card, not the removable one.
as long as your rooted. I use root explorer and cut and past to my 32 gb ext card. Its easy with a file program as this. Until someone writes an APPTOExSD its the only way to make it happen. I know it sucks.

Because my internal phone memory is only 1.3 GB
You could run the CyanogenMod custom ROM. That points /sdcard to the microSD and /emmc to the internal memory. Warning, you have to load it on to your phone and you need to install a custom recovery. If that means nothing to you then I advise you read the development forum for a while before attempting anything. If, on the other hand, you know what I'm talking about then you should already know that it's a nightly build, not stable with no ETA of stability. That said, I've been running it for a few weeks now.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058131 for details on the ROM.

Try looking at an app call GL to SD.
Works on my tablet to move gigs of data to external, and the app will still open the apps.
Its like a temporary mount swap.

My 8gb SD card in my Desire S is almost running out.. I have like 3.4 gb left. I'm planning to buy a 16gb sd card for my phone.. How will i transfer all my files, apps, games, also the save games to the new sd card? Is it only copy paste all the folder to the new SD card? Or i'll backup the apps? When i put the new 16gb SD card on my phone, i want nothing will change, like the same wallpaper, the widgets in the screen, etc.. except the memory of course. I don't wanna reinstall all of them again. Is their a way to do that? Thanks!
Yeah basically that's it .
'Almost running out'? you've near 50% left when you take in that you never get the full 8Gb due to system files etc

have you tried it, copy paste the folders to the new SD card? I heard some people are having problems like they had to redownload all the apps and install it. So, i'm just making sure nothing will change. Can you give me some steps on how to do this without having any problems? Thanks!

It's easiest and quickest to do if you have a card reader but ultimately all you do is copy all files from SD1 to SD2 (via PC)
Best to power off phone (ensure that you have settings->power->fastboot=OFF)
remove SD1
load SD1 into card reader
copy SD1 to a directory on PC
load SD2 into card reader
copy PC (SD1 files) to SD2
replace SD2 in phone
power on phone
nothing will have changed.
If you don't have a card reader then simply do then same but with the SD cards in the phone (mounting SD as Disk), worth Quick Formatting SD2 before you copy files from PC onto it so that its empty.
What if I'm on a custom Rom, like virtuous unity? Will it go back to stock after changing the SD card? And do I have to root the phone again? Thanks!

No it won't effect the rom and you won't have to root or flash it again

Sounds ok, although I don't personally know the manufacturer....
The size you want depends on the use that you give phone, if you watch movies often, listen to lots of music or are constantly flashing ROMS therefore taking backups, possibly consider a 32Gb card, I personally believe that you can never have enough space...on SD (obviously depends on budget).
The higher the class the faster/better the card
The current SDHC specification defines Class 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 as follows:
Code:
Class Minimum Speed
2 2MB/s
4 4MB/s
6 6MB/s
8 8MB/s
10 10MB/s
1 1 megabyte (MB) = 1 million bytes
2 Based on SanDisk internal testing; performance may vary depending upon host device.
I thought I read somewhere on the forums that Desire s can't read cards above class 6 at their full speed ( could well be wrong on that).
The cards will work fine just the transfer speeds won't be as stated
Did anyone try this already? I'm just want to make sure that nothing will change, and i won't reinstall anything.. It's such a hassle reinstalling everything. My phone is rooted and on a custom ROM virtuous unity 2.37.. You guys positively sure that when i put the 16gb sd card on my phone, nothing will change? Even the widgets on the screen? I'm getting my sd card this week, so i just wanna make sure. Thanks!

Yes ,it's how I changed from the 8Gb card that came with the phone to the 16Gb I have in it now
Does it matter class of SD card, I mean has any sence in speed of daily work with SD having 10 class or class 2 of default one is enough?

was your phone rooted, and on a custom ROM when you changed the SD card? You just did the steps that ben_pyett posted? You didn't reinstall anything in your phone? Everything was exactly the same like with the old SD card? Sorry for asking too many questions, i just don't wanna reinstall anything again, and i don't wanna fix the homescreen.

As far as I know the card can't transfer at a rate above a class 6 card.Obviously it will accept faster cards but only read/write to them at a class 6 speed

i just bought 2 32 gb cards both class 4 and cant seem to get them to copy tried formatting them checked for errors but still cant transfer all my stuff it copies the folders but not whats inside them any ideas?
Cards purchased from a reliable seller? Or did they come from the land of China? ;-).
EBay specials lol they work if you take all out of folders but no good for the likes of cmw
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
So ... was the seller reputable?
Also what format are they formatted in? .. because I believe they'll need to be in FAT32, not NTFS and not EXT4.

I read the most current version is photonic CM 7.2 - 2.6.35, but SD card is no longer really supported, is this correct?
At first I tried the SD card version 20.11.2011_r175-final.rar, so that I do not need to destroy my WM installation.
Everything is really slow, so I want to know how is the experience with a ROM installation, is it much faster?
Does the SD card speed make any difference?
I use a Kingston microSDHC 4GB Class 4. Is a Class 10 card much faster and is the reader in the phone capable of using a faster card?
With my SD installation I cannot install apps that seem to install some data on SD card, I always get an error “cannot save on SD or USB storage”, e.g. aTilt 3D Labyrinth. What is the reason for this problem? Is this gone with the ROM installation?
Thanx a lot
