SD Speed increase

[Compusmurf]

Now with the reg keys, can it be tweaked even faster. lol.

Always the need for speed.

So doctor please tell me in human terms what this meams...lol....j/king.

I installed the cab..and I cant really tell if it did anything SD speed wise.

Well, this didn't improve any of my benchmarking, and actually disabled some of the tweaks that we use to make TF3D faster (such as the HKLM/System/StorageManager/FATFS cache setting), so I uninstalled it. Meh.

What class card do you have? If it is a slow card to begin with, those tweaks won't make any difference.

And for anyone who is interested in the original thread, check out the Touch HD (Blackstone) forum at XDA. It was originally posted in a video playback thread created by tnyynt (I believe it's a sticky). And by the way, his recommended encoding settings really do work well. I have The Dark Knight encoded to a 1.2GB AVI container, FLV/MP3 codec with 1000+kbps video bitrates that plays flawlessly.

Can anyone test if the card's data transfer is constant with this hack? We had a similar SD hack for the i760 that was only faster in bursts and caused lag when watching video etc.

Is there really a definitive proof that the card class can potentially make a difference in internal read operations?

EDIT: As a result of my tests, research and observation, I'm leaning toward the belief that it's not the data bitrate that is the problem; I believe the device can read and process data plenty fast enough. There seem to be other bottlenecks; for example with video, it seems to have more to do with the raw number of pixels being processed for display ... I get benchmark increases, and bench data rate increases, between two files encoded at the same bitrate but which differ in pixel dimensions (e.g. a 640x480 550kbps file benchmarks at 85% while a 640x264 550kbps file benchmarks at 110%.

Any idea if this would have an effect on battery life, maybe? Because if it works, I would have to assume there's a downside to prevent it being standard.

ok, using sk tools benchmark, with the tweak I gained 175k write, and just over 100K read compared to stock.

Not bad, not great.

Oh man I have an issue now. For some reason every time I connect to the PC it will go straight to "use as storage deal" instead of "sync". Is it that fast that it will not even come up with the message on to phone to choose what u want to do. Maybe I'm just missing something on the settings. Any help please

go to start, settings, connections USB to PC & select what you want.
