Here is the most simple way of increacing your SD card's reading speed.
To getting started,there are three different ways of doing it,first manually,second with cwm, and third with a single app. I will show you the third and easiest way,as there is a thread about the first two.
If you want to check out the first two look this: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010807
Requirements : a rooted device.
The only thing you have to do is to download two apps.
First download the "SD tools" to see the scores of your SD card's speed. Well,now run it and do the test.(if you know any other apps to do the same thing tell me and I may add them all).
Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ales.veluscek.sdtools
Now download the "SD speed increase" or "SD-Booster" and open it and set the SD cache at a value.
THE RECOMMENTED VALUE IS 2048.
After rebooting your device this setting will be lost,if you don't want this to happen hit the set on boot button.
Play store Link: SD speed increase, SD-Booster
Now run the "SD tools" again, run the test one more time and see the improvement.
I have a 6 class 8gb sd card and the reading speed increased from 12.6mb/s to 17.1mb/s (see attachments)
Use at your own risk.
P.s please tell me if it worked for you and if you have any suggestion for this guide.
Thanks for reading

As I haven't develop any of this apps and i am just refering to them, I don't think is a good idea to upload them here.if someone can't access Google play, I guess if he search in Google he will find a mirror.

Great app. Just tried it. Didn't try benchmarking it as sd tools doesn't seem thae consistent. Any other app that you know of that I can use alongside sd tools to check how much of a diff it made?

I'm not sure i heard it was just for apps however you us connect using PC mode it opens a drive to that 8 gb internal memory. It has some drivers and PC applications that you can install from it. I didn't try writing anything to it at the time and I'm not sure you can. Give it a try and let me know.

Why WOULDN'T you want it is the question...
I like the idea all app data in one place and my data in another. Especially since the card can't pop out by accident. Why fill internal mem with media and then complain about no room for apps, imo of course.

I've read that rooting with Gingerbreak works with the latest update, but also might erase the internal storage. Exactly what part of the internal storage might be erased? EVERYTHING, or just installed apps, ringtones, music, etc...?
Anything on internal storage, if u click on app files and go to internal storage anything there, so if u don't put apps on sd ur fine but some of its files it saves will be gone
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
So... basically my best bet would be to make a copy of everything i can onto my computer before attempting the root?
Yes

And..... another question. Is a microSD card actually required for it, or no?
I never remove my sd so I am not sure
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Yes an external SD card is required. You will be prompted to have one when you first install gingerbreak. I had to go out and buy one.
just copy su file in /osh/bin with some name. your root will be preserved.

Flame the noob, shame on you You don't know jack until someone points you in the right direction. Sure he should have searched a little, but still.
Dude, you got good advice on the apps2sd. The real memory improvements are after you pluck up the courage to root your device, but it's pretty easy. Follow the other posts on same. Then you can check out Titanium Backup from the market, or there is another command you can run if you install the Android Development Kit but it's more techy. Stick to Titanium, it moves most of the game to SD, leaving <1Mb for each. I have loads of games installed & have 150Mb free.
Let us know how you get on...
Thank you guys. I just tried it and it freed around 120MB
I really dont know much about the android and how to handle it properly but really you all are giving a great help and I appreciate it very much

If you learn how to use adb, you can try the command " pm setInstallLocation 2 ", this will force more apps to install to the SD Card and free up even more space

I'm not flaming or anything I just want to enlighten the OP.
Ram is not what you are referring to. What you are referring to is the internal storage.
Internal storage = Computer hard drive
Ram is where processes are being run atm. every time you turn off the phone the ram is cleared.
Now like many have said you can use adb and setinstalllocation2. What this will do is install all the applications on your memory card.

First of all check all the apps are on stock apps2sd. Go to settings/applications/manage applications then on the top click SD Card. It will then bring up a list of all the apps that are stock apps2sd conpatable and if theres a tick it means there already on. If no tick click the app then click "Move to SD". Instant more space.
Second uninstall the apps you use least.
Third clear your browser cache. Go to settings/applications/manage applications then scroll till you see Browser click then "Clear Cache"
Forth and finally I would root the phone and uninstall some stock stuff you won't use.
Done.

You can try sd maid which has a system cleaner. Or change the files permissions if you are worried about it transmitting data. But I wouldn't mess with it too much until you figure out what it is.

You guys could wipe your sdcard with twrp if you are worried, but back up all your wanted sdcard data to a computer first. And then put it back on right after. I do that with my Nexus 7 sometime. Not sure if it is the same process on Nex4. It may not be necessary, not sure.
