Increase SD card speed for faster file and photo surfing on Android

On Android smartphone, we often feel that system hangs and works slow while browsing gallery and other files on SD card. This is because the cache size is less by default causing slow loading.

Developers at XDA forums have made a app which tweaks the cache size of Android file system for faster SD card access. SD Speed Increase changes parameter in a file system (thus requires Root access) that manages the size of the cache on the memory card.

By default, this value is set to 128 KB but it was found that changing this value in 2048 KB, the performances are optimized, making read-write on our external memory faster.

Open the app, it will ask for superuser permissions. On granted, Main screen shows a slider which on moving changes the cache size. It is recommended to make it 2048 KB and press the orange logo to set.

This setting changes automatically after reboot so, check the box infront of Set Every Boot so that this changes are applied after every boot.

Personally, I found this app very useful for optimizing the performance of Android by having faster Gallery Photo browsing and App Loading.
