Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

Well minimal improvements help, but is it really worth it?

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

Note - Since the regedits apply to the SDHC drivers, I assume that this will be of no help whatsoever if you are not using SDHC. I have only a 2GB card in my device. Has anyone tried applying the same registry edits to the SDBus driver? I would, but I'm not that reliant on the card for anything, and I'm afraid of killing the device and having to hard reset (no time).

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

I don't know what harm there is to using these registry edits...

I don't know of anybody that has done this yet, but I will look around and see...

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

I doubt it will make much difference editing the device drivers for regular SD cards, since they have drivers built-in. However, I have an Apache to play with and I'll see if I can find a similar speed up.

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

Okay here's the update. In the WM6 ROM on my Apache, there isn't much to report back on. The drivers are actually tweaked out to the max (Helmi core Kitchen ROM) and I don't have much to compare it with, since the SDHC drivers don't exist in that ROM. Even installing the tweaks on it wouldn't help because they are addressing the SDHC dlls that arent present. There are block transfer keys that could be tweaked but I don't think the software would support it. Sorry about no good news but that's the way it goes sometimes. I don't believe it is the definitive answer since the kitchen ROMs are using a higher revision than the one I have installed and have the option of SDHC support.

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

I know the .CAB install creates the registry entry if none is present..

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

And hopefully the removal removes the registry entries created at install!

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

True but if its addressing a non-existent dll,program, etc, It's just registry garbage.

I'm game to try it though. What the hey, if I futz up the Apache, hard reset no problem.

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

Regardless of what it will do in a non-SDHC device, it has continued to amaze me the difference that it makes on my Touch. I took the kids to a Christmas parade and shot a ton of pix. The difference that it made time-wise in saving the pix made getting "the shot" a lot easier because of the speed increase writing to the card.

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

Applied this, and I'm still getting ~150-200 kb/sec when transferring files to and from the card via resco explorer. :(

I'm going to flash to a different ROM in hopes of speeding the whole thing up a little, it's just difficult to find a good one that looks the same as the sprint rom.

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

I have a 2GB SD card that has TomTom Maps on it. I couldn't have ANY POI's showing on the map, if I did, there would be a HUGE lag when I drive. It's fine now.

Not only this, IGO8 starts up much faster (all maps and program on storage card), I just ran a demo and it was also tested at phonomenal speeds which use to lag when the TTS engine started.

I guess I should tell you I am running a VZW Titan on DCD 3.3.4 with Radio 3.42.50

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

doesn't work on i-mate 8502 with official WM6.1 1.77. couldn't see my storage card after installation. unistalled and back to normal.

8GB class4 card works fine anyway...

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

Same with me on my Touch Pro, when sending a pic message- Storage Card isnt there anymore. I have to browse my files and go to DCIM, etc...
Didnt notice any speed increases, honestly seemed to lag a little more than before when browsing pics.....

Thanks bd07

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

I can't really tell a difference. Should I be noticing faster load times for the music and pictures tab?

I never really had a large directory on my sd card so its hard to say if TC is "snappier"

What would be a good example to show me the difference? I mean, will google maps load images faster or something (installed to sd card)

edit:
actually, you know what, browsing the music from the library button within the music tab is faster. It doesnt take a long time to read my 4gb of mp3s lol.

k it werks :P

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

excuse my ignorance... where exactly do install the .cab file to make it work?

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

Yes install to device, not storage. Any registry edit cab should install to device.

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

Will this make the storage card speeds faster or slower than internal memory? I was just wondering if it would be worth it to transfer some of my stuff from the internal memory to the card.

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

I am not sure about faster or slower than internal memory, but this will improve the speed of the storage card, regardless... It might be worth at least testing it out and seeing if you personally can discern any speed improvements...

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

Does any one know the reg-edit? I searched this thread and the XDA one and nobody has asked what exactly this CAB does. I hate installing a CAB for a simple RegEdit.

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

I didnt find it either.. I would just install the .CAB.. It seems a lot of people like it and it has helped me... I hope it helps you too!

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

I opened it with cab manager. It adds a lot of stuff, much more than a couple of little hacks. The cab install is definitely the way to go with this one.

You're welcome Diesel. here is a screenshot of the additions.

I wouldn't want to have to add all this manually...

Good idea! Let me tweeze them a bit for better viewing pleasure. I'll PM ya.

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

definately helped my tp, i can now watch movies with wm ,thx

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

has anyone tried this on xperia phone? thanks in advance!

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

If the registry entries in the first post ARE inside your Xperia, then the tweaks will probably work.

Try it out and let us know!

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

thanks mate, will try it out at home later!

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

Yeah, it should work on any WM 6.1 device.. Can't say for certain, but it should, as Sau said...

Sprint TP became unstable, sluggish, and experienced frequent crashes!
 

I tried the cab on my Sprint TP and spent at least a half hour running various tests. I ran the same set of tests before AND after installing the cab... with soft resets between tests / install. The only improvement worth noting was the microSD's (8gb, class 6) 7.5% faster read speed. No improvement in write speed. Still, the 7.5% improvement is pretty darn amazing!

UNFORTUNATELY, my Sprint TP became unstable, sluggish, and crashed several times a day. After a few days of painfully unstable use, I uninstalled the cab and everything went back to normal, no more crashes.

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

I have not had any instability with this .CAB... Where you running stock ROM?

Re: Sprint TP became unstable, sluggish, and experienced frequent crashes!
 

Are you sure this is what caused your issues? I think you're the only user that has experienced instability.

Perhaps you had another program interfering with the settings?

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

So I just finished typing a very detailed response, then my notebook computer ran out of power and decided to go into hibernation. It's too late to retype all the detailed info, but I basically described my series of tests in detail. The battery of tests resulted in a noticeable difference in READ speed when the TP was connected to notebook pc as a disk drive (half gb file transferred from TP to notebook). No improvement transferring from notebook to TP. No improvement either way when connected via Activesync. I'm using the eRice rom, which is based on stock rom, but minus the bloatware. I would highly recommend the eRice series of roms. The instability caused freezing / crashes in pretty much all the apps, even when I run them one at a time: Coreplayer, TCPMP, Text Messaging, A2DP bluetooth, etc etc. Uninstalling restored the overall stability and reliability. Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

That is weird ft... It may be the eRice ROM.. But I am not sure..

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

Not to be too off topic, but if it went into hibernate your text should've still been there.

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

If I had more time, I'd try the manual registry edits to find which ones help enough w/o creating system instability or conflicts. The 7.5% improvement is impressive and significant enough that I just might have to switch roms.

Thanks... was hoping might have a solution for that too, lol.

Re: Speed up Storage Card
 

This will help my cause, thank you

Thnx much BigDiesel..Great works n beautiful solution.
