hi!
What should I look for in an SD ram chip?
I want to use it for movie storage and playing. Does it need to be of any particular speed? Where can I find out what speed it rund at?
Or will all cards work optimally?
Thanks
Frode

1. is difference between a class 2 micro sd and class 4 -and for that matter, class 6- are that big?
2. is class 2 sufficient? how will it perform in multimedia 'streaming' -I mean you store your multimedia files in sd while the app for playback is in ROM- ? will it make programs stored in it run slow?
3. will it be much better with a class 4 one? and 6?
4. which type of apps and files are better stored in ROM and which types are in sd?
streaming would never have any relation contact or suffer impact from external storage

sorry for the confusion, I wasn't talking about internet streamging, I was talking about streaming between a multimedia file which stored in a class 2 micro SD with the playback apps which stored in ROM
then I asked also about if I install rather heavy apps in a class 2 micro sd, will it cause the program to slow down?
Okay so lately I have been trying out alot of ROMS and most have been very good! But every ROM i try to watch videos on it's extremly laggy! Atm using Touch IT v.10.2. My videos are mp4 videos: 800 x 480 : 750kbit/s audio 128kbit/s.
Whenever playing it in the default player it's always lagging, not just itje's rom every ROM some reason?
Is there other ROMS (i could get)/settings I should set it to so I can watch videos with no lag at all? It's very fustrating.
is it lagging also in media panel?

What other specific info do you need?
Edit: even if I made the video bit rate to e.g 200 it would still lag a bit!

Nope, still laggy as ever.
I've noticed videos don't lag as much in Windows Media Player.
Is there any way to set videos to play in Windows Media Player by default on itje's roms?

i thik there is a part of sktools where you can choose what extensions open with what
so, I came across a problem with tcpmp a few weeks ago where the program wouldn't play video at a decent frame rate when installed to the phone storage.
which I find strange as I would have thought that running the program and reading the video from the same source would result in slow down its self!
so my question is, is the internal storage more slow than the memory card and if so could the storage of sms be moved to the sd card for speed improvements.
if this is the case then lots of other things could also be moved to the sd card!
your thoughts ?
hmmm
nobody interested in this?
I would hazard a guess that this is because the phone is running the player from the same source as the video is stored, so it can only access either the program, or the video file at any one time, not both together, so it accesses the system for a second, then the video, then the system, then the video,,, but if the video is on the card, it can access the system and the video at the same time.
that's the point
ill be more through
if the program is installed to the phone storage ie tcpmp installed to phone memory, then when you play a video it jogs! very low fps.
now if you installed the program to the memory card, which is where the video is stored also then its played a full fps
it is much much faster, so this either tells you the memory card can read files quicker than the phone storage or there is a problem with the phone storage talking to main memory.
that's my point! sms takes an age to load if you have more 20 message on the same thread. moving these messages to the storage card permanently may increase loading times of each thread.
try it your self with tcpmp you will get what I mean, the videos I'm using are dvd rips in avi format
Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a way to make youtube use storage card instead of the main memory.
Thanks,
Sd card whats the point if most app/games are install internal memory. No option for adapted storage, the hack seems to do more harm than good. Whe i download a big game. Even when i transfer file to sd, most memory stay in internal. I see almost no use for it

Why this thread if you have no use of a SD Card?
SD cards are not just for game storage, people keep their personal videos and pictures on them and like the ability to swap between devices and take their pictures and videos along.

I've exhausted my internal storage with apps and app data so I wouldn't be able to take pictures and video if it weren't for the SD card. I also store movies and TV shows for areas where I have no data. I can also pop in my Phantom 3's micro SD Card and view it's 2K footage.
I've got a 200GB which I used the hack to adopt... No troubles at all. I would much rather have this setup than no expansion path and just 64GB onboard.
