i just want to know if there is any mod to increase the SD CARD SPEED for MIUI V4 im currently using MIUI V4 by maxworks

Even better.
But all of them require root.
(at setxperia select mount with noatime / i/o scheduler NOOP / and change SD cache to 2048 (that works for me .. but i recommend you to use sd-tools to benchmark with different values and find out what is the best for you.

hi i would like to know which one is better....
in terms of output....
and definitely in terms of sd card life.
Hi...I'm interested about this and i wait your opinions!
It all actually depends on what you're needs are.
Though here is something that you could read about:
UnGaze said:
Here's a breakdown:
Darktremmor a2sd(apps2sd):
+moves /data/apps and /dalvik/cache /directory to your ext partition.
+tried and tested with almost any ROM oout there(although some ROMs still have problems with this, specially with the SGA)
+everything is the same except for the apps and dalvik-cache directories mentioned.
-also with dalvik-cache moved to SDext, SD card life can be shortened dramatically. on the other hand, retaining it to internal memory will eventually fill up the partition and result in storage shortage.
Ungaze data2sd(aka data2ext)
+moves almost the whole /data FS to your SDext partition(except some setting directory)
-some users still experience some bugs, but development is going well and is on our way to a final version.
+with final version, it will be very well optimized and user friendly as to enable users to move /data back and forth from internal to ext as well as give users an option to mount dalvik-cache to a directory of choice(RAM for SD-life saving, internal for data integrity, ext for performance and cache simply just to use the extra space cache has)
+also, a small boost in real-life performance can be gained as well as a huge boost in quadrant tests.

The difference is, darktremor only moves the app folder onto ext partition, while ungaze's d2sd moves the WHOLE data folder onto the ext partition. The app folder is inside data. That's why you can't use both.
And the plus with ungaze is the dalvik cache is moved to RAM so it doesn't eat the sd nor the internal storage's life and it gives better IO performance.

Some people get bugs on their ROMs while using both mods.
I've used them on different ROMs and I can tell you that it may occur, and may not. If so, try to reflash it. Bugs are most likely to be FCs.
Currently I am using ungaze's data2ext, but I'm thinking of changing to DT's d2sd and test its performance too.
I just want to tell you that such kind of mods are great, because you can install many more apps on your p500. Just try it for yourself and see which one is best for you.
I installed ungaze data2sd but it was too unstable. I got back to apps2sd
a2sd prebuilt in void echo rom
very stable and working well
First of all i am not a dev, and the statements bellow are confirmed by devs and known guys from our O1 community like Maktail and Miasmic (thanks guys).
Most of us use a2sd scripts like darktremmor, ungaze, link2sd etc. and many of those are suppose to provide us with practically unlimited sd space for apps and data. But the common problem which allways occures is that after moving one too much apps to sd you will get at some point bootloops. The phone will not be able to load all apps from sdext partition and reboots all the time. So no a2sd script is able to provide what is ment for.
My question of why use a2sd script is related to the fact that moving apps to sd using built in android script which resides in every ROM (even stock obviously), moves to sd the same amount of apps as other scripts mentioned and has the same behaviour of bootlooping when too many apps are moved to sd. The only difference is that other scripts provide more options, like moving dalvikcache to sd. But that doesn`t help either.
So why use a2sd scripts when the result is the same as using stock android script?
A2sd dev dk_zero-cool (thanks) said here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342387&page=25 that is common knoledge that android cannot handle more than 1GB external data and recommended to use no more than 1,5 GB sdext partition formated with other recovery than CWM which is buggy. Did that and results are the same bootloops. Which means that moving too many apps to sd gives at some point system instability no matter what app or which script we use.
That is why more exepensive phones have more internal mem, up to 16GB in nexus case for example, which is using internal mem even for data games storrage. In that case they use a script to link internal sd data to external sd data (folder mounting), which is of no use for us.
Using DT, ungaze and android built in move to sd option, i could move to sd the same amount of apps before getting bootloops. So why buther using all king of scripts when the resilt is the same?
And now i get to the real questions, which are:
Is there any a2sd script that gives the use of more than 1.5 GB of external data without system instability (bootloops)? (i could move about 1.2 GB to sdext using ungaze) Please post the answer to this after you tested and moved or linked to sd more than 1.5 GB of apps.
Is there a 1 or 1.5 GB limit of external data which android (Linux) can handle before getting instable? If so, can this limit be overcome?
If there is a limit, why the options to create more than 2 GB sdext partitions in recoveries?
Can some nice dev make a script that lets the phone give us a slap on the face when getting close to the point where the system gets instable, if the limit of external space cannot be overcome? It seems that most of a2sd script devs discontinued their work.
my opinion
I have used both ungaze and link2sd... link2sd got unstable when i am using almost over a gig of Ext partition while right now I'm using ungaze with 1.7gb of used Ext partition... It was stable for me... No bootloop or anything...
Using the latest cm7 nightly rom, fk v4...
EveryThing has it's own LIMITATION

Really? 1.7 Gb and stable? Ext 4? Did you use CWM to make it? What card do you use?
New great a2sd mounting folders like disks! Need some testers here guys, please help. Maybe this way we can solve a2sd bootloops.
Must see this:

based on my experience
Ext 2, used amonra 3.0.6, class 4 16gb transend, faster boot up than link2sd...

So nothing special. Close to what is use. Except for ext2. I use ext4. Could ext2 be more stable?
does anyone has proof that internal sd card is better & faster than eksternal sd card class 10?
Is there really need for a proof on that matter? The fact that class 10 is the latest technology doesn`t make it ultimate.

yes but it makes sense if your internal sd card is only class 2 (imagine factory want to cut budget product and add low sd card read & write).
one thing for sure, my quadrant says about 800 using internal sd card, and now about 2000 using eksternal. and if someone say that quadrant score is irrelevant, i only ask, why?
I use link2sd with 512 or 600-700 MB EXT3, and never got a problem, I prefer huge apps/games like NFS shift, in internal memory and data obviously in normal SD partition, and I prefer keeping apps like facebook, camera360 and other [unmoveable by default] apps in EXT3.. this way I can install several apps without any problem
I dont know if this has been asked before and I am feeling lazy to search. Does ungaze data2sd work with ext4 now?
I saw that rom toolbox has one feature wich increases the sd card cache!
well i want to modify the cache without the "ROM Toolbox" program
can it be done by editing the build.prop or something like that?
Using the Antutu Benchmark I saw that the larger SD Card cache improves the read\write speed of the built-in memory.
10x
i saw some post here in xda that increasing your cach more than 1024 is not advisable, because in excess of that it will not increase the sd card read/write speed anymore.

i understand...with rom toolbox i had increased the cache at 2048 mb....but 1024 it`s fine
anyway...the question is...how can i do that?
frankly speaking i dont know how to do it with build prop i just used rom toolbox too...hehehe
I just don`t get it...where are all the developers???
doesn`t anyone know the answer to my question?
Many memory hungry apps force close on ics, specially when web browsing.
Would you advise to use swap? If so what would be better, use it on the cache partition or on the microsd?
My current setup:
- Neo V with ics pureness 14 rom
- microsd 16gb class 10
- 1gb ext4 partition for link2sd apps
- Autostart of many apps disabled with Lbe or autostarts
I would go for sd-card (for greater storage; you I'm having cache partition of ~ 100 mb only - cant say of ics pureness 14 rom, i'm on stock)

You are killing your card with that.
Flash memories have limited read/write cycles.
Not saying it will die fast but still there is impact.
Is the 100mb cache partition even used? Every time I've seen it it's almost empty. Also it may be faster, but are there any negative effects of using a 64mb swap from there?
I have Toshiba 64GB sdcard class 10 and noticed that is too slow in writing so I made some tests on it.
In PC I got 21 mb/s.
In Huawei P8 I got 19 mb/s.
In my Z2 I got 3~4 mb/s.
So I tried the Huawei's sdcard 32GB U1 in my Z2 and I got 4 mb/s.
At recording videos in Z2 there's a delay about 3 sec to save and for deleting somethings it takes a lot of time. So the problem is in my Z2 I think. Could you please explain what is a solution for this?
My Z2 is 6 months old, 6.0.1 mm

try kernel auditor there is an option which speed sd card, go to I/O scheduler and set read-ahead for the external storage to 4096 and apply on boot.4096 is a good value because your sd card is class 10.
I think it depends on how you bind in your device.
F.e. in Titanium Backup I use 'External Storage', that's the fastest option.
If you are on stock ROM, there is no need to modify anything.

I tried it and it is 4096 and change it to lower value (512, 1024, 2048) and what I saw was same speed. I reflashed with flashtool and pcc but no luck. It was like this since the first minute when I bought my device.
