Go to the market and download sd booster. That will tell you the cache size and allow you to change it. A good size is 2048

Nice good call Skater I tried sd booster and changed it to 512 and everything seems smooth now. It took me 5 minutes to get to market and get it downloaded and installed and to run it but now everything runs as it did with stock CTMod maybe better but need more time to test.

Cars, what Kernel, and rom are you running and how big is your sdcard and partitions?
Trying to get some good reference points for different mods, roms, and cards, so we can maybe get a scale of good sdcard cache sizes, per Rom, kernel, and card. If ya know what I mean?

Lordvincent 90http://androidforums.com/members/lordvincent-90.html - nothing like that. I will pm you or something to explain what I'm talking about. God knows if I talk about it too much the evil united states government will put a bullit in my head. I love it when I'm told it can't be done but yet I do it anyway. Hey man, don't get me wrong, I love my country, but I hate my Government. If that's what you want to call it anyway. Nicola Tesla was da man.

Imagine sucking electricity right out of the air, and using it to charge your phone, constantly. No bills, no limits, no nothings.
can't be done?, impossible?, ...... ok, I guess your right. ... .. .. ... . ... .. . .
......lol

So you think Big Brother is gonna hunt you down for publicly sharing information you found some place else on the internet? They make something for that its called Xanax it works wonders.
 
CTMod 2.5 KK 1.2 16gb class 4 card that at least in my tests is a little higher than 4. Formatted for SD/EXT to 1gb.

I am still getting some lag issues going to start anew and format SD to 512 and then erase everything and install CTMod 2.5 fresh and then KK 1.2 and then restore my programs with TB.

I think everyone is having some lag issues with KK 1.2. I have a class 10 card and I still have lag when opening some programs and stuff. The programs I was having issues with I changed to a system app and its made them much snappier. Unfortunately not all programs will run as a system app.

I am having lag with stuff that I just can't have lag with like trying to make phone calls and answering them. So have to fix that before I can keep KK 1.2.

Update: I formatted SD/EXT to 512, wiped everything fresh install of CTMod 2.5 did the first boot then installed KK 1.2 booted up and initially just like everyone else I am sure it lags a bit the first time you open something but after the first time then it seems to be running a lot smoother. Will run it all day Saturday after finishing up the TB restore of everything and see how it goes.

Seems a few people are using KK1.3 already. I thought Kourma said that it's not an official release just yet and he's going to fine tune it and make some more tweaks before it's official.

The questions is, should I download it and use it or just wait for the official release? A bit confused here.

Guess no suggestions or advice on this one :(

It's working fine, just not for everyone, lol. 2 options, wait and wonder if your phone can be even more impressive, OR make a backup, give it a shot, and keep/use it if good-2-go, restore backup if not (and let us know pass/fail lol)

If it was listed what 1.3(Hroak KK) does compared to 1.2 then I'd give it a go. Can wait for an official KK though.
 
Wiped everything formatted SD/EXT to 512. Installed CTMod 2.5 let it boot once and then installed KK 1.2. Put all of my apps back with TB and seems to be working great. The lag is gone I don't see any at all anymore.
 
OK.. so forgive the nub question but what exactly is "pure app 2 SD"? I'm trying to figure it out and from what I can tell is it should be using my sd-ext partition as my data partition however a fresh ctmod 2.5 followed by kk 1.2 then a fresh sd-ext partition, my phone still reports only ~80mb free in internal memory. Am I doing something wrong or...?

After flashing the kernel, you have to mount the sd-ext in CWM before booting, then all should be good.
 
Just wanted to report in. I have a 4gb class 2 SD with a 1gb ext4 partition on hroark's kk1.3 (unofficial) and my phone runs as smooth as hot butter. I've already used more space than the phone has out of the box. After tesrlting my card I set the sd cache to 1024 rather than 2048 and I've gotten the best performance out of it. I have noticed more battery drain but it's not anything extremely substantial.

There is a script I got off xda, that has helped my battery significantly. You can find the link in the op for honeybread. It the build.prop, and init.d tweaks.
 
Carsfanatic said:
They are not included in the rom they are linked to XDA in the thread for the rom so you can go there and decide for yourself if you want to install them.

Actually some of them are included, but there are more on the XDA link that I did not include. The scripts I included in my Rom I will post on the HoneyBread thread if you want to know. I don't want to take over Kouma's thread.
