I'm running 2.1 rooted, the market app is 2.2 and above, won't show up for me.
u can try manually apply it.
/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/17:1/read_ahead_kb
change the value inside the read_ahead to 2048 or 3072
the italic, im nt sure its 17:1 or 17, something bout 17 im sure. inside got the read ahead
tis method however, change back to default after reboot
I tried the hack. Changed cache size from 128 to 2048. Write speeds stayed the same, but read speeds went up by about 5Mb/s. My SD card is crap tho, only a class 2. I also only tried the one cache size.
How big of a difference is noticeable between class 2 and class 6?........thinkin bout gettin rid of my class 2 16g if it makes a big improvement
Sent from my X10 using XDA App
Pretty noticeable, using a class 6 16gb increases all data retrieval speed eg contacts, pictures, apps on SD etc. Defo worth it.

Using the app i can set at boot
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
there is no init.d on stock x10, so i set the file "99sdcardreadfix" to "run as root" and "run at boot" with "script manager" (free available at market).
The code working for me:
Code:
#!/system/xbin/sh
if [ -e /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb ]
then
/system/xbin/echo "[COLOR="Red"]3072[/COLOR]" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb;
fi
3072 was working best for me with the stock sd card.
read: 3,8
write: 73,4
If another value works better with your sd card, just change the red number to what you need
My best results
I have a SA32G (32GB) and the best results i got where with the buffer at 3456KB. Let me know if that works for anyone and if you find it helped let me know with a quick click on the 'thanks' button!
@Eisel89 Whats the ending on the 99sdcardreadfix? is it just a .bat? thanks

for 2.2 roms, you need to edit the script because echo is in bin, not xbin
download and use scriptmanager from the market, it will allow the script to run at boot.
works great on my 2.1 and 2.2 roms.
devs are not including this in their roms and no scripts are needed.
Thanks! That really did the trick for me, I am set at 1024 now, read speeds went up slightly between 6-7 mb/s while read speeds are around 25mb/s. I could get higher read speeds at higher cache but my write speeds would go down
thread carefully
Hi
I just wanted to point out that read ahead buffer is not a real SD card performance booster. It is the way how your OS handles card reading and buffering data. I agree that illusion of speedup is present and large data set can really benefit from big read ahead buffer (like video audio and some others).
If you try other SD speed test applications like "Sst" aka "SD Card Speed Test" changing read ahead buffer will not make a dent because software is not using buffers to test real performance.
In some cases big buffer can really degrade performance because OS is cashing something that was not needed.
So my advice is to thread carefully and make read ahead buffer bigger only if you suffer from dropped frames in video or audio players, games and if you use app2sd.
Real performance boost can only obtained with better SD card driver if possible (custom kernel) and better SD card class 6 if possible. (not all SD card's regardless of class will not work in your device as expected eg. Kingston SanDisc Apacer and others research before you buy)

Nice app, whats is the most optimal value for galaxy s with a class 6 16Gb card? Can i expect any corrupt data with this thing?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Hi !
It really depends on the size of your files.
Just for example, if you have thousands of small textfiles a higher value doesn't have any benefit for you. If you have bigger files, like MP3-Files or photos, a higher value speeds up your phone.
You might start with 2048kb.
Regards
Akusari
I've tried all values.. 1024 and its multiples.. but my performance hasn't budged even by a margin! read speed stays at 12-13mbps for all values I'm having an 8gb class 4 sd card running on LG optimus one
My SE ARC use 16gb class 4, change from 128k to 4096. Then I run TM backup, the speed are good.

Some few words about this version. Well, this release 1.5.0 feels more or less like version 2.0 "light". I'm currently on the way to version 2.0. At a special point i noticed that my predecessor version 1.02 include some nasty bugs, but i didn't like the idea of a small update (1.0.3).
So, i took my current developer version and removed a lot of stuff (unstable or just not ready code) and version 1.5.0 was born. The number "5" tells you i'm on the half way to version 2.0 ;-)
However, the most interesting fact is that this release is shipped with my own MMC-Detect-Framework. What does it means for you? Well, this framework should support any internal and external SD-Card out there. No more "static coded paths" should be used.
A special thank you goes to androidnews.de! Without this german online magazine SD-Booster would never exist.

Akusari
PS: If the app shows any error, please post a catlog. Thanks!
Just downloaded and trying out your app. Getting alot of good reviews on the market and if the performance difference I have seen in the last few remains I will be adding one more. Great work and thanks for the app.
Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize
BTW: If someone could create a better SD-Booster logo (SD-Card image at the top (160x160)) i would be pretty happy. I'm a poor graphic designer
Gonna give it an install. I have noticed more slowdowns than usual with my SDcard maybe this will help me out.
Nice! Thank-you
Sweeeet!
Works great at a value of 2048 with Wildfire S-Off with Alpharev X

Sweet. Thanks. Testing now!
I´ve tested on my Galaxy SII with a Kingston 16GB Class 10 SD and it slowed down the system.
The most significant problem was in reading 1080p videos from my SD where before the App were runing smooth and after the App (Configured with a 2048K Cache size) started to chopp and freeze the video.
Just to let you know, maybe is a device especifics and could help to understands why this happens.
Thank You,

Can you describe in more detail how exactly your app is doing this? Are you increasing the read-ahead cache size, or somehow changing the I/O block size? Does it cache writes or enable write clustering? How would this affect large sequential transfers vs. small random access? Does it affect reads differently than writes?
I'm already using AutoKiller Memory Optimizer, which has it's own "SD card tweak" (increases the read-ahead cache), so I want to make sure both apps aren't fighting for the controls.

Well, it works!
I have a Samsung Fascinate running CommRom 2.1, and went from 7.8 write speed to 8.3. I know thats not much of an improvement, but the big upgrade was going from 14.9 read speed to 22.4 I'm a happy customer!

Updated as per your suggestions.
Yes, this one looks nice
this app is used to increase ram and performance in ur android phone, everyone tells that this degrades sd cards life but its working great for me, i purchased it from playstore and it checks licince verification, if u can crack its licence crack this app and install it on ur phone , sorry i have backuped it but cant crack it, do it if u can and enjoy the app
Please try before you buy with 'Memory Info & swapfile check' their device! This is the most powerful version ever! Exclusive only here in Play Goals!
Insufficient RAM, memory is too small? This need not be! Use your SD card as a working memory expansion!
A great programmer once said to insufficient RAM RAM only helps. Convince yourself how right this man had.
Finally, more memory with a click! Memory from Android 1.6 up with root access and external SD card! More memory means that background tasks can not be completed, and many programs will work correctly in the first place!
On many devices, there are problems with games require a lot of memory, this fixes the problems RAMEXPANDER. And they can play latest games on devices that otherwise would not be able to start such APPs. No more out of memory! No more memory is full!
Languages: English and German
Note: please try before you buy with our app "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roehsoft.meminfo" whether their device ROEHSOFT RAM Expander is compatible, you!
- Free SD card memory as a RAM use (SWAP RAM / SWAP MEMORY)
- Swapfile RAM expansion up to 4.0 GB (file system limit)
- No limit on SWAP partition!
- The usual performance degradation when paged not occur with sd card from class-8
- Widget for PNP swap (swap on / off swap)
- Detailed Memory Information & Analysis
- Autorun
- Swappiness kernel parameter set
- Easy foolproof use
(1 click optimization and automatic calculation)
- Supporting Tung all Android devices (root access and Kernelswap support)
Note: please try before you buy with our app "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roehsoft.meminfo" whether their device ROEHSOFT RAM Expander is compatible, you!
Should it come to problems please contact me before they write such queries to review forum!
not enough memory? equal to no more! More games to play and run more applications simultaneously! All you have to only increase your memory. And up to 4 GB! Larger memory, instead of using task killer or memory optimizer.
ROEHSOFT Ram Expander is more effective than any other tool of its kind Why? The First find out!
ROEHSOFT RAM expander support via a widget at lightning speed and off of extended memory.
This way you can remove the SD card despite swapfile or deploy via USB.
Also, you can important, elementary the swap kernel parameters even control the effectiveness of extended memory increase.
To gain root access you Linkk this helps any further http://shortfuse.org/.
Just affordable entry level phones often have little Ram, help either here or Task Killer programs continue but one uses a swapfile, which is enough memory available. ROEHSOFT Expander turns your device more easily. Many applications, you can start at the same time and do not have to worry about your Ram.
Extends every Android device up to 4 GB of memory in which it creates a swap file on the SDCARD.
Maximum size of the swap file is architecture requires 4GB!
By setting the swappiness value, you can control the behavior of the kernel, the higher the value the more is outsourced.
Please note! For any damage that may result from the use of this software are not responsible!

^^ THIS !
[SIZE="5" /][COLOR="red"]For bloatware removal guide go to post no. 24[/COLOR][/SIZE]
After a lot of research on xda I came across some mods which improve gaming performance.
Prerequisites :
1. A rooted phone
2. An unlocked bootloader (for installing custom kernels)
3. Basic knowledge about taking cwm/twrp backups,flashing scripts,restoring stock fw etc.
4. Make sure that you have busybox installed. If not ,download and install it from playstore.
5. Follow this guide if you are unable to get init.d support :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-stock-ics-t2177856/post38796669#post38796669
There are many custom roms available for tipo but I prefer using stock ICS firmware the most.
All mods below are for ICS and have been tested on latest stock firmware only.
Let's move to the first part -
RAM :
I found out that ICS uses less memory than cm 10.
I've used Paradox Rom and I found out that it uses a LOT OF MEMORY.
(Approximately 200mb+). Therefore I use stock rom. After applying the mods below ram usage is low.
1. First of all remove all bloatware from stock firmware.
You can delete update centre from /system/app .
2. I don't use social networking apps so I've removed Facebook,Whatsapp,Hangouts.
3. Don't use any task killer . They end up using more Ram and battery. Use only xbooster if at all. It's free on playstore
4. If you use a lot of apps you might want to use Greenify. Take care not to use experimental features -they consume more ram.
5. You should use a launcher that consumes less memory. The stock xperia launcher uses large amount of ram. I personally prefer Zeam Launcher.
6. If you are still short of memory ,you might want to swap a small amount of your internal storage and use it as RAM . The stock kernel supports swap. Here is a script to create swap files : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359182
so no need to use roehsoft ram expander.
But be aware that swapping your internal storage for using as ram will decrease its life.
7. Reboot your phone once a day.
8. Freeze/delete those system apps which you do not use regularly. I have disabled google play store and google play services as they keep waking up the device at regular intervals.
9. Hypercola script is excellent for gaming :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2404653
I've attached a few screen shots of my ram usage
Kernel :
If you have unlocked your bootloader you can use custom kernels.
At present there are three available :
Vengeance by @rachitrawat
Link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/orig-development/kernel-vengeance-t2134810
Vengeance reloaded by @ShivangDave
Link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ent/kernel-vengeance-reloaded-paused-t2540952
Enigma by @Yash98
Link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/orig-development/miro-tipo-enigma-kernel-ics-t2942101
ENIGMA is the latest kernel for tipo and from my experience ,its the best.
It has both CPU and GPU overclocked.
Graphics :
Reducing resolution and textures helps us to play new games smoothly.
Many of you know that installing GL tools zip causes settings to crash.
I found out that both Chainfire 3D and GL tools use same driver so you might try installing cf3d driver from chain fire 3d and use gl tools to change graphics settings. Then you can use GL Tools without bugs.
This init.d script helps to reduce lags in games and in launcher :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/orig-development/xperia-e-j-miro-tipo-adreno200-t2635772
Storage :
Another hindrance to gaming is too less internal memory (2.15 GB).
But if you have a memory card, you can swap storages and your memory card will be used as internal sdcard. Thanks to @TeamMex for this.
you can verify it in Settings>>Storage.
Steps :
1. Using a file manager like Root Explorer ,navigate to /system/etc and search for vold.fstab file.
2. Backup your original vold.fstab file.
3. Download the file in the attachments. Rename it to vold.fstab (remove .txt from file name and replace it with the original file.
4. Reboot.
5. After reboot go to Settings >>Storage. And you'll see your external card as internal storage.
Follow the instructions carefully or you might end up with a bricked device.
6. If you want to revert simply replace the vold.fstab file with your backed up one.
You can also use apps like foldermount or GL to Sd if you don't like swapping internal -external storage
Please post your comments below and give your suggestions and I shall add them to the OP.
I shall be adding more mods/tips soon !!
And please don't hesitate to hit the thanks button if I helped you
Disabling Apps :
Another hindrance to gaming is the memory consumed by system apps such as power saver, update centre . We root users have better techniques for saving power !!
Now , there are many apps available in the playstore which can disable system apps but most of them are either paid or consume a lot of ram. I have found a technique of disabling apps on xda.
I don't know who the author is so I am unable to give credits.
The method is pretty much simple.
1. Use any file manager which has root access. I prefer Root Explorer.
2. Go to /system/app
3. rename app you want to disable to xxx.apk.bak where xxx is apk name.
Eg:- if ypu want to disable NetworkLocation.apk , you just have to add .bak at the end of file extension i. e., you write NetworkLocation.apk.bak
The above method is also applicable for user apps. These apps can be found in /data/app
Apps that can be disabled safely :
1. Update Centre
2. Power Saver
3. News and Weather
4. Facebook
5. Timescape
6 . YouTube
Root Explorer also contains thumbnails of apps so you can easily identify the apps from their icons.
Here I would like to add a small note about stock music player.
If you listen to music frequently ,stock music player runs in background and is not easily killed. It cannot be exited and starts running as soon as music icon is touched. An alternative to this would be Walkman app but Walkman has some permission issues with custom kernels like venegeance. Thus it force closes every time. Therefore it is advisable that you reboot your phone before starting any heavy game.
Moderators , if you see this post , please sticky this thread.
Thanks in advance
Playing gta san andreas with minimal lags
There you go guys !!!
Here are the best settings for playing GTA San Andreas :
Without wasting a second lets move to the first part
In Game Settings :
Go to in game settings->Display setup .Turn off Shadows and car reflections,set visual effects to low ,draw distance and resolution to 0%. Don't worry even after setting everything to low ,the game looks almost same as in pc.
Install enigma kernel if you haven't done it already.
Edit : Hypercola script drinks battery too fast. Better not use it.
Next , use defiant07's swap script . Links are already provided in one if the previous posts. Run script using script manager. Follow instructions in the script and choose "ext card" option as location to create swapfile . Do note that by choosing above option it will create swap file on internal sd card. Internal storage has normally the fastest read write speeds unless u're using a class 10 sd card.
Size of swap file should be 250 mb.
Set swappiness between 40-60.
Swapping with high values of swappiness for long periods will ruin your sd card and internal storage. See post 22 on page 3 for more info. So,use swap only if you require it. Playing without swap only results in more fc's nothing more. I am getting a frame rate of18 -20 fps even without swap.
CPU Settings :
Use any cpu control app .
I found out that setting too aggressive frequencies doesn't help. Rather device performance gets reduced due to overheating. I got highly satisfactory results by applying below mentioned freq and gov
Max frequency : 999 mhz
Min Frequency : 320 mhz
I/o scheduler : sio
Governor : ondemand
Use Enigma kernel v8.5 for best results
Heavy gaming with overclock will drink your battery.
For best results , after gaming for 2min from first launch, restart your game. It helps to clear up ram and thereafter gaming becomes very smooth .
My battery goes to 0% after 6-7 hours from full charge if I play gta san andreas continuously.
Please let me know if I missed out something and give your remarks towards this post. Have a good time playing gta san andreas !!

Thanks for the positive feedback !!!! .
You should check out my newly added tutorial for disabling apps !!!
I have XE, but i bet these tips work for tipo:
- If you've deleted all background apps, dont use greenify. It consumes CPU and RAM.
- RAM Manager Pro is much better than Xbooster - have a try.
- Use old versions of media apps (FB, youtube, google apps...).
- If you have compatibility issues with ICS, or you want some more features, pick CM10. Its performance is nearly as good as ICS (I can get 280mb free).
- If you are scared of swapping (yeah, there is a slight chance of hard brick), use FolderMount to move the obbs to SD.
- in CPU management, use SmartassV2/ Ondemand governor instead of Performance, if you don't play 24/7.
Last: Don't try to play Need for speed MW on your phone if your PC can max it out. You should know what I mean.
