[REQ] Accelerate 16GB mSD drivers - HD2 General

Dear all,
Lately with the help of other forum members I've noticed that my 16GB class 2 micro SD is not working well with all cooked ROMs. I use it at the moment with the 1.66 Stock ROM- the card is full of music, photos etc. and works perfectly fine. I believe that a lot of the cooked ROMs have some kind of problem with the driver for SDHC (class 2). I know the card is slow however it works perfectly on the stock ROM. Do you have any suggestions?

I have a 16 GB SDHC class2 Scandisk
I had the same problems with the speed
I have the following solution
With an external card reader, a full formatting with 32 kb cluster
then insert the card back into the HD2 and from there own distinct once the card with the HD
Formatting tools to format and optimize
This has helped me and since then I have had no problems with the speed more

I can confirm that... you can play with the formatting settings with an external formatting tool to get very good speeed...

What kind of formatting tool do you recommend. And do you think FAT 16 is better? I have read that FAT 16 with 64 kb is faster than FAT 32 with 32kb cluster.

if you format with fat 16 you have more waste with fat table
but you are right you loose space with fat 16 and win speed

much true, best thing is to test it out, i got approx 30% more speed (benched) but on my other card(different brand) i got only 15%), so try and see...

if chefs are removing cachefilt then you may have some issues.. but I doubt they *all* are..
do you have encryption on the card?

I do not have any encription. Probably "all" is a bit exagarated.. and I do appologize by all means. I have tried the following ROMs: Dutty's, Miri's, Artemis, Laurentius, Energy (with this one I had less problems..), XannyTech and several others. I mean all the chefs are doing a great job but I kept wondering why the card is working well on the stock ROMs and not on the cooked ones.
So you guys recommend formatting the card on FAT16? I am gonna try and see. Thank you all.

I don't think many chefs are removing this module but maybe I'm wrong you never know.
My experience is not many chefs are XIP patching haha..

I sometimes wonder how many actually know what the xip is never mind tweak it

I finished formating and benchmarking. The results from FAT 32 and FAT are the same. Will try reflashing and see if there's adifference but at that points I doubt it. Question still remains open - Why the heck it works fine on official ROMs and not on cooked ones..

Maybe it has something todo with this tweak just a wild ques.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS]
"CacheSize"=dword:00001000

Same problem but with 8Gb card. I'm trying to active FATFS cache in registry. I'll let you know when test.

Prophet and SD 4 Gb?

Could anybody prove they DO work together?
Hi,
Yes they do.
I got one off eBay and it was immediately recognised as 4gb by my JAMin. I had to buy a new card reader as my internal one would only read it as 1gb.
I bought one from Moby Memory for £7 which also doubles as a USB drive when the card is inserted.
Regards
For me working too without any Problems.. but i have to by a new Card Reader too
works with A-data 4 GB flawlessly so far. And my laptop's internal recognized it normally.
Cheers.
Great thanks everyone, just had some doubts. Now as soon as i am back in moscow i am getting myself one. /dont realy trst all those HK guys and btw in Moscow it's as cheap as there about 105 AUD for 4 Gb as here it is 195/, and
MODERATORS can close the thread
I got one from ebay (I trust the hong kong guys ) for $107 it's A-Data 150x works flawlessly in jamin...

Transcend 4GB card
I bought the transcend one (4GB) from Newegg for ~86 after rebate...and it worked the minute that i put it in my Qtek S200....i was apprehensive as well, but after reading the posts here, i bought one and luckily it worked fine...now just waiting on the rebate.... :roll:
Hello. Same as above, QTEK S200 + Transcend SD 4gb 150X
Everything works perfectly, even quite fast
I only noticed two flaws:
1) the start menu opening, if there are icons linked to programs on the card, is quite slow; just like the today panel had some difficulties reading the huge FAT32 table or structure.
2) photocamera only allows saving to internal memory and network path. Not to SD Storage Card space as before with 1GB SD ...
Any hint ?
Thanks everybody

Do you have more than 2GB of free space on the card? If so, try to fill the card to have less than 2GB of free space and it should be able to save photos to the card.
You can also increase speed by conversion (or format) to FAT16 with larger blocks, but its inefficient for small files because they take more space. Search the forum for details and how to do it.
i have taken photo and video to the sd card with no data and with 3 gigs of data on the card. no issues for me. once in a while it tells me i dont have space but i do a soft reset and problem is gone

Keywords: network path. It is Camera software restriction. Hide this by tweaker and camera soft will see Storage Card. The same fact with ExtROM unlocking.

SD cards often have to be formatted by the camera to be seen used properly. Could this be the problem?

Sorry but haven't understood.
We're talking about the Prophet Internal Camera. How could I format the SD card from elsewhere ?
Btw, I definetly guess that the problem is \network path, not the SD card dimension or allocation table.
For example, even using this hack:
sas90850 said:
Change the photo storage location to storage card
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image\Saveto
0 change 1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I got the default save-to path to \network directory
It means that the camera options have only two allowed values:
0 = internal storage
1 = external storage
and if there's a "\network" path before "Storage card" (just like I always see in every installation procedure), only the first two can be seen.
I.e. network and NOT storage card.
Question is now: how could I hide such a service "network" path ?
I guess it was created by Resco Explorer for mounting remote directories, but I am not able to remove/hide it
Thanks

Set Resco Explorer Options Add-Ins to <as "My Network" root>
then check SKTools->Tune Up->System Tweaks->"Enable view network share in file explorer=No
SK Tools 3.0.41 beta did this and many others tricks http://s-k-tools.com/sktools/skt.zip

You can
I formated the 4gb card with a cardreader. then inserted into the prophet.. worked without any problems..
and i can still store my pictures with the original camera onto the sd card.. just pulled the old card out, put the new 4 gb card in.. all settings were like before...
and yes, i can proof that this works

Yeah yeah
I absolutely agree, Tias.
I did the same...
but there was a language misunderstanding, as we were talking about the 4GB SD card seen by the Prophet internal camera (and the <network> issue is the clue, I guess), not an SD formatted by a photocamera as Noony advised.
Btw, Noony, NO PROBS! Thanks for trying..
Last, many thanks to Lvlx for the solution. I'm trying it soon and will let you know
Thanks again everybody
I'm glad I saw this anyway. I've used the registry tweak and now I'm very happy that photos store on the storage card

Another Weird SD problem thread

Well, that title being said, I have a weird Mini SD card problem!
As you can see in the attachment, something seriously spooked my 2GB SD card into submission. I can't delete this "program files" folder, and I can't even access it when the card is in my 8125.
Great just when I finally set up all my programs lol.
I don't know what caused this problem, I think maybe installing egress and having the today plugin running rapidly.
Anyway I'm just going to salvage what I can from the card and format it, but incase someone else ever has this problem, does anyone have a solution?
The only thing you can do is reformat it. That happens to a lot of people.

Thanks for the answer. I think! :Argh: hehe
If your card can be read in the PC without any problems then it could be you share the same problem as me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321273
you may want to try some settings as mentioned or referred to in that thread (or some different ROMs) ...
Have not got any answers yet. Will try to cook my own ROM using one of the ROM thats works with the SD card as a base once I have time..

SDHC Support? Interesting Registry Entry

I've been getting a little annoyed at the lack of storage space on my 2GB miniSD card in my Wizard. I was going through the registry of one of the three Wizards we have to make some changes when I discovered:
\\\registry\HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\SDHC
It has a driver reference and other interesting (or not so interesting bits).
I was wondering if anyone with some technical knowledge has take an look at this to get HC cards working on the Wizard.
I wasn't too sure where to post this so I hope it is ok here.

Someone posted that this has been enabled in some ROMs I dont have a SDHC cards to test it. But it looks that this option has been always in WM6.
I have a 4gb SDHC kingston and untill now I'm not found a ROM that my card work. I'm using now TNT 1933 but I can change for another with this registry line if help.
Remembering that the Universals with some WM6 are capable to read SDHC. A developer here in XDA found a way.
I have hope. And faith. SDHC will work on my 9100.
p.s. Sorry my english. I still learning.
Well, I hope that someone will manage to get something working. All I need to do now is trawl through the forums to find out how to get my G4 device upgraded to WM6. I've missed a lot in the last 6-9 months!

As far as i know is the SDHC key for the sd host controller.
but it isn't a hardware thing to support it

My p3400i suddenly became very slow.

Hi all,
i have p3400i on wm 6.1. Yesterday i installed some themes and Asphalt 3d. Since then my fone has gone extremely slow. it takes a couple of seconds to open one message. Not sure what caused that. i hardly have any programs loaded on it. Please advise what can i do.
Also one thing im noticing is that when i take out the memory card it works fine. Can it be a virus or my memory card is slow???

where did u install the themes and the software?
if you have installed it in phone memory ...try to hard reset and the next time install the softwares on ur mem card...
most of my sws are in memory card and i alwaz install the sws in the memory card.
Programs installed on memory card make the device slower, especially if the card is high capacity (> = 2GB).
Also check out how much free memory you have on the device! Some of M2D themes are very heavy. Seen one around 10 MB size in the Dev/ Hack section . So if you loaded some of those themes .

hard reset the phone, should take care of it...
Hi, please also remove any temp files and unnecessary registry. I understand the free registry cleaner and clear temperory file utility should help you. These utilities are available free on the net.
Also try to format SD Card (Fat 16).

But if the card is bigger than 2 GB, you cant format it to FAT16
Ya, in that case formating can be done as FAT32.

The same probs with me dont get upset........... backup all yr data and then hard reset yr phone......feel free to do it............. me too do this...........
wwait a bit.
Dear playboy..
That Asphalt is a nasty app.. that redirects itself to Root, and eats up nice 4+ MB straight.. and more if you run it..
well thats more than enough to pull your Gene down.. especially if your fone is already loaded with apps.
Uninstall it, and delete residual files..
Use Oxios application to free ram / option to soft reset / Google it..
I think that should bring back 90% speed..

slow speed of photos thumbnails in sd card

i formated my SD card 64k as per certain advise.. anymore tweaks pls?
hey, i used to have that issue, too. I had an old folder on my storage card with hundreds of files in it. i guess it was an old installation of tf3d on my memory card which i didnt use anymore. after deleting this folder, the media panel was ultra fast again ^^
maybe you have some kind of this on your mobile storage?

Just search for registry settings in WM6 and change the transfer rate (64k default) to 128 or as I have it, to 256 and see the pictures fly in!
