i just did some tweaking myself and found the results to be Great!
-if you want SD performance tweak as temp then follow first post
-if you want to make these tweaks as your primary cache speed skip to last section in this thread
1 - install this app and check your speed results
https://market.android.com/details?id=ales.veluscek.sdtools&feature=search_result
they are pretty low!
2-Install these two Apps on your phone
https://market.android.com/details?id=de.mehrmann.sdbooster&feature=search_result
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.aac.cachemate.demo&feature=search_result
use cache mate to clear your cache
1-open cache mate and Click the android inside the bin,now you have cleared
2-open Sd booster and change the cache values from 128(default) to 1024 check set on boot if you want to(note-as soon as you set the values you will get a message click *wait* dont close the app)
Wola!
now you will notice a great speed diff it will feel as if it is a class ten card!
open your gallery and browse through your pic,see its faster way faster than normal!
Note do not post just to Say Thanks pls use the Thanks button(Thank you)
To DEVS
use these For ROMs - add this line into init.rc file
/sys/block/mmcblk0/bdi/read_ahead_kb 1024
------------------------------------------------------------------------
use the Attachments as a zip file to flash via xrec.people using apk method do not need these!
-use any of the attachments with *set cache* to change your cache memory
-use the Default cache to revert back to your original cache settings
-Test all the 3 set cache variants and keep the best!
Great info and nice apps, did worked for me. Stock speeds 5.29 MB/s write speed and 19.2 MB/s read speed to 6.27 MB/s write and 21.9 MB/s read for class 2 sd card. Decent upgrade.
Lol about cache cleaner. I use it occasionally, but every 3 hours seems excessive.

I use autokiller memory optimizer, latest version lets you do advanced tweaks, the sd one increases to 2048 from 128 as default plus there are other tweaks worth trying. Take a look. You need to check apply on boot in settings then go to advanced settings check what you want to tweak, exit settings and hit apply. When you reboot you should see a notification in status bar that self erases.

i used the SD which came with my phone,at 2048 my read speed was 15.2 and write was 11.2
after two days read speed was 13.2 and write speed was 11 but if you clean the cache it gets back to your speed!
it should work if your default cache speed is low
Just to add... i know alot of your dont run data2sd on your x10 but for those of you that do, This will break your data2sd along with wipe your apps. its almost like doing a factory reset.
You will lose all apps, your storage will recert back to 465 contacts will be gone. Like I said.... Its like doing a factory reset!!
Use caution if you use app2sd or data2sd. youll kick yourself in the ass later.

I wonder if that is the same with the Link2SD app which is what i'm trying to work on but i'm having problems partitioning my 16gb card with the fat32 which is the best an fastest that works on all phones an cards. The problem is with the software an not the card. Most the software I've tried is for USB readers an not on board readers.Which should not make a differences but ??? i guess it does. If someone knows of a good software that could help I would appreciate it.

Is it normal that on my p500 non rooted stock rom 2.2 (froyo), when i pick the "move to sd" option (on the applications>manage applications thing, you know), a small part of the app stays on my phone.
Like, if a 3mb app was installed on my telephone's internal memory(it would say like "app size : 3.00 mb" or something, and I move it to the sd card, then it would say like " app size : 959k" or something like that.
And i think these 959k is the part that stays on the internal memory, and the rest goes to the sd card.
Am I right, and if I am, can someone please tell me how to move the FULL app to the sd card??!!
Move full app is not possible, there always some of app's files will stay in internal memory.

Or you can use swap on your phone, but start with efficient usage on your phone and delete all of bloatware.
P.S.: Remember that swap requires root and its NOT as fast as internal RAM. For efficient swap you need class 8 or 10 sdcard.

How to know my sd card in which class? :s do i need to replace?
It is written on your SD - Card.
Common class is 4 - the slowest 5 mb write speed - 9 reading.
Look onto your SD-Card there is number written on it.
The speed rating can be deceptive. Just getting a Sandisk card will get you good performance. In terms of running programs or even CM7 off of MicroSD the random reads and writes are most important for performance. If you check the figures at this page; https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjPE3ZAD2eVudE9vZmQ3aHlfTkFvU2J4ZUplRDJQTEE#gid=0 you will see that the new Sandisk class 6 and 10 ultras and the Samsung class 10's are really very good.

Hi Guys, only a quick question really!
Is it possible to use internal storage as ram to boost the memory up a little?
reason i ask is that (for example) windows 7 lets you stick a usb stick in and boost the ram up.
I would have thought that the same could be achieved by some of the developers on here by borrowing some internal storage for use with ram.
( I searched and couldn't find anything that related to this. )

And why would you want to? It would be on the order of magnitudes slower than RAM.
RAM operates in nanoseconds whereas storage operates in milliseconds. (Storage is 1000 times slower..)
Look in the dev section. There is a mod where you can use part of your external sd card as a swap partition.

Siyah kernel supports swap partition. You need to have an external sd card for it. It's only for ics rom right now. More info? Check development section.

I just had a crazy idea that id be able somehow to borrow 1gb from my 32gb card and run 2gb of ram. but if what you explained is correct ill leave it as it is as its not that big an issue, however....... i have Siyah kernel installed already, might have to read up on 'swap partition' hopefully giving me more internal storage for downloading large sized games etc. I keep running out of internal storage memory when downloading games and for some reason on the latest 4.0.4 sammy build i cannot move apps to sd card.
ill have a tinker with swap partition and see how that goes, thanks for your info guys.
A swap partition won't help you download bigger files and all you have to do is download directly to external memory, and it's impossible to move Apps to external memory unless you Root and use App called Directory Bind.

Nope it's impossible to use any Apps like App2Sd because the external memory now uses ExFat format and mounted as a separate device so can't move the cache like other phones, so only way is to use Directory Bind to use Android's folder Binding function to trick Apps into thinking it's reading from internal memory.

Take a look at another feature Siyah includes; zRAM. It basically reduces(!) your available memory by taking a chunk of it (up to 300MB can be set through STweaks) which is then used with GZip-Compression to create a in-RAM Swap partition.
This is based on the idea that in current phones/computers the CPU is far more powerful than is usually needed, so the performance impact of using it for Swap is not that high. On the other hand you don't save that much RAM - but it certainly helps without crippling down your phone and/or greatly reducing your SSD's capacity

What? No! Unless you have a USB 3.0 or a SATA supported flash memory of some kind, most other means are slower than HDDs which get around 100 mb/s read and write. Compare that to a Class 10 at 10mb/s...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
A solution I use is something somehow similar to app2sd.
To achieve it just crop the first partition of your external sd fitting to the size you want to use as second partition and create an additional partition with a supported format (I personally prefer ext4).
Move the content of your /sdcard/Android folder to the new partition and write a mount script where you mount the /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 device to /sdcard/Android.
Execute it with script manager with su rights and mark on boot and you will gain more internal space for games and apps and only have to worry about moving files if you downloaded to much with the browser or such.

the "mb/s" stat is irrelevant in the case of ReadyBoost, the windows feature that boosts access time of cached files through flash memory on usb stick or memory card...
cant post a link but, wikipedia is your friend
the feature is more of a gimmick than anything else, but its there and it does what it say it does to the extent of its limitations which are very low...
Most Windows computers have HDD's and not like our S3 an SSD.
HDD's are faster than memory sticks ONLY in writing and continuous read (one big file without fragmentation)
Readyboost uses a SSD for small often-read fragments qualifying as random read where even your cheap USB2 stick is by far faster than a hard drive.

First - EXT is not accesible from PC - would be really glad to have this option too.
Second - Take any class card - best way 6+, less is slow, but still usable.
Third - Best way to change SDs when you have EXT is -> backup all your apps installed (data and apk - data via Titanium!) and uninstall them. Let the EXT totally free. After that disable EXT and make backup of your phone files and FORMAT IT (wipe data etc...)
All needed files copy to new card and dont forget to set EXT and SWAP as you like - and insert. After that restore your data and apps and set it all up.

Dont know which class is da best, but try to think - your msd will be used as storage place + swap + ext partition, it is a bit difficult for msd.
I am using class 4 and swap only (few month before tested swap and ext partitions together), and it is good, but higher card class could be better, faster and (i think) more stable for your requirements.
OT: On my x10mini (with stats in signature) was hard to make swap and ext partitions work together without bugs, but still it wasnt stable and maybe that problem was "slow" msd, maybe something different

Gaming Mode Script
As you all know our phone with ICS update struggles in gaming even at games that don't use a lot of ram.
The constant restarting of services that were killed are simply drag every game to hell.
There are many apps in Play Store that are doing what my script does.
But the problem is that most facing a problem in closing the swap file and they just re-enabling it.
That's a problem because even with a class10 SD card the phone is a lot laggy with swap.
Programs need seconds to open and to go to homescreen sometimes needs even 5 seconds and more.
Here's the solution. A simple switchable Script that will give you the extra juice only when you want to game hard.
UPDATE:
Added swap in partitions.
Requirements:
Needs working Busybox and SU
Instructions:
1. Copy the script from inside the appropriate zip to /data or /system and make the permissions to rwx-rwx-rwx (0777).
2. Use Script Manager or what you want,
and make a widget in your homescreen for easy access. Be sure to enable SU in options!
Also install SM widgets so you can set your script as a shorcut in homescreen. That way Smanager will not take any RAM.
3. Tap the widget and after it's done close SManager and you are ready to rumble and enjoy lag-free games.
4. After you are done, press once again the widget and the swap file will be removed. Enjoy your phone back to it's lag free condition.
swaponoff.zip for swap in a file
swappartonoff.zip for partitioned swap
Config:
You can change preferences by editing the script. DON'T use notepad! it will break the unix encoding that it's needed for the script busybox commands.
SWAP_FILE: Where to save the swap file.
SWAP_SIZE: Swap file size in MB. Default is 128MB
SWAPPINESS_OPTION: How much to swap. Default is 10, to avoid unnecessary swapping.
For partitions chage SWAP_PART="/dev/block/mmcblk0p3" Change 3 to what your swap partition number is
Notice:
That will give you lag free games only. Using swap always on will make your phone laggy in general usage.
Also always close the swap file before connecting the phone to usb mass storage!!
Credits go to mrvek for his swap script, which I used as a base.
If you like it, please press thanks!
did this script need partition swap or not?
Can I ask why will a swap file increase gaming performance? If it does, why will it lag the phone during normal use? What's the difference?

The system can push te apps into swap. Without need of to kill them(before it kills tehm but they keep restarting afterwards so this is why some games lag) Some other games need alot of memory to even start. So when you have swap. the game can use all the 300mb ram(at least 30 are for frameworkcs, etc)
And CTCaer. I think you shall add that it srecommended to use swap partition. Its better ... at least for me

Nope. It makes use of your sd card. It mounts a certain file there.
A partition for swap was never needed. Also if you use for example noop i/o scheduler for sdcard, this will make the need for swap partition obselete. Because it will not prioritize the writing/read and will work like if you had 2 partitions in sd.

Well in ICS every library and framework and the default use of gpu make use of a lot ram. More ram than GB.
Most games need 60-120mb ram to play.
That makes android to kill services running, like widgets, homescreen, messengers and more to free ram.
The problem is that many of them the restarting almost immediately (like whatsapp) and others restart like normal when android sees that
there's free ram (like when you enter a menu in game, ram usage drops).
That creates an endless loop and make the games laggy and the worst of all makes the touchscreen unresponsive.
So the extra virtual ram helps so that these services remain open and not make an impact in your playing by restarting endlessly.
Android and in generally linux makes use of swap only for apps that are not needed.
That means that your game will be mainly in the real ram and will not lag.
In contradiction swap will make your phone laggy for general use because every time you open an app, another app or services will use the swap file (like homescreen).
So when you return to homescreen or to an app that is cached in swap, android will retrieve it from it to the main ram.
This will cause a delay to opening the map and a general lag feeling for 2-5 seconds (according to how much of it went to swap).
I even disabled zram for almost that reason (it takes cpu cycles), as i needed it for game before using swap only when gaming.
To sum it up,
only one thing I saw from using this script when gaming: ALL games now feel like i have gingerbread in my phone.
Only downside is that some gameloft games need a little more time to load, but when android gets done with swapping the unused services, it fades away.
Extra tip: Enable swap when using google maps. Same win like games

The only difference is that with my script you don't need an app and that app will take ram as it's always there.
And because some swap apps don't let you disable easily or even at all the swap.
The script is mostly for people that want to have extra virtual ram only when gaming or using google maps.
And btw if needed i can make a script like that for swap in partition.
So how to create it
Or i am just edit your script from 128 to 1000 Mb swap

Turning off swap doesnt work
when I tap the widget with swap on, It doesnt erase, nor stop swapfile and it just give me errors
Here is the result when I try to disable swap file
exec /system/bin/sh '/mnt/sdcard/swaponoff/swaponoff.sh'
n/sh '/mnt/sdcard/swaponoff/swaponoff.sh' <
/mnt/sdcard/swaponoff/swaponoff.sh[8]: grep: not found
write: Broken pipe

Well if you are not a gamer it's not needed. 347mb ram is plenty for everything in our phones except google maps and chrome
No its not enough
Cos I have used smart experia Rom
And needs a lot of ram
Cos I have some lag on the root eksplorer
And more
FB sync to much : Timescape, walkman, album, etc. Its sync to fb and I need more ram I guess

Ah well i have completely removed facebook integration and timescape from my rom.
But i have Next Launcher that gets 25-35mb ram and it's locked in ram. Beatiful widgets, switch pro widgets, contacts, whatsapp and more that are open and it never lags with or without zram.
Anyway if your rom needs more ram then this script is not good for the swap to be always on. Better stick to an app that will auto switch it off when mounting to mass storage and to auto start it at boot.
Thank for the suggestion
I used razr m homescreen with circle 3d widgets and new jb Sony home
I think everythink will be ok

Nope. It makes use of your sd card. It mounts a certain file there.
A partition for swap was never needed. Also if you use for example noop i/o scheduler for sdcard, this will make the need for swap partition obselete. Because it will not prioritize the writing/read and will work like if you had 2 partitions in sd.

No problem. Not every user has the same needs. Because i made a script doesn't mean that will work good for anyone.
Thats why XDA exist. To share and learn.
My script is for users who need that extra juice only when opening an app that demands a lot of ram.

I uploaded a script for partitioned sd cards if you want.
But yeah that's how it's done.
With deadline and swap in scard, your kernel will prioritize the read/write to the sdcard between reading files for your game and read/writing for swap.
Noop will use 1st in read/write command -> will be the 1st out.
If you use a partition for swap and deadline, android will prioritize the read for your game only.
The scheduling of read writing for swap partition and together with the game will fall to SD Card. Which is like noop. 1st command in ->the 1st to be executed.
I hope i explained the main differences about swap on file or partition.
Install Ram Manager instead. lol
