Speed of internal memory

Is there anyone test the speed of internal memory? Or know any tool to check it?

For what do you need to know that?

I would like to see if it's worth to move some data to the sdcard (by a2sd).

It is because of the severely limited internal storage. Asking that question the other way around has more sense - is it worth to move some data back on internal? Yes if you have a <class6 sd card.

Thanks, I know it's limited... so we have to use a2sd.. what if I don't have many app... will the speed affected when i move out my data ? it improves or get worst ?
I just want to be sure, because no one had reported the speed of internal memory. For some a2sd, they move everything to sdcard which I don't know the outcome without knowing the speed of both side. One can try it out.. but knowing before doing experiment is good as well.

Looking at your rom, why don't you try Mounts2sd update?
I don't think there is a benchmark for internal memory anywhere. But without doubt
internal memory is faster than SD Card. Nonetheless, Class 6/10 won't normally have an effect on the phone. Depending what your transfer rates(read speed/write speed), it will almost be comparable to the internal memory speed performance.

A1 SD Bench can test internal memory speed, as you can see from the screenshots

Get more storage on device by moving apps to system partition

I've tried to move most of my apps to the ROM (system/apps) partition so that I can have more room for the media on the storage partition but some apps like music and poweramp don't seem to work.
Are there any guidelines to know which apps would work in this way?
I used a file manager to do this. Ghost Commander using root mode.

I cant answer your question but i dont think you get any benefit to moving the apps from one place to another....
From this link....
With the unified storage model we introduced in Honeycomb, we share your full 32GB (or 16GB or whatever) between app data and media data. That is, no more staring sadly at your 5GB free on Nexus S when your internal app data partition has filled up -- it's all one big happy volume.

Im using AOKP ROM but not sure that matters.
I gained free space on internal and lost space on system as reported by TiBu . The low storage warning went away also.

Some apps work some dont. I'm just moving APKs. Anything else to help apps that aren't working on the ROM partition?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I'm not really grasping the point here.. I mean, most apps are only ~3mb or so. Is moving a few of them over to the /system partition really going to solve your storage issues? That's like one song per app transferred.
To each his own, I suppose.

But the storage is effectively all one partition... and the apps are so small...

Some apps like games are 10mb and even larger.
Yes there is not a lot to gain but I want to use the ~500mb free space on the ROM partition.
Those on Verizon might not care but 16GB is not much for the GSM version.

Very true, I think it is ridiculous to put a permanent warning out if you still got 500Mb of free space. My Nexus One don't even has that much storage combined and only starts bugging me when at 20MB and less. I could live with the warning sign, but stopping synchronization with my services is a huge fail by the OS.

Memory question for One V owners only

How is the memory situation for installing apps? What do you have installed and how much memory is left?
In particular I'm interested in what it says when you go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Downloaded to see if this phone is limited in space for apps. That may not be the exact path as I do not have this phone yet.
Tkanks!

I just get 960mb

Thanks! What does it say when you look at downloaded apps?

Here is mine...
Installed only 23 apps as One V is my second device.

So what is the problem with the memory? On the box it says 4GB, but it looks more like 2GB (phone and internal)
Sent from my HTC One V using XDA

My concern was to see if this phone has the same memory crisis as the Wildfire S, but it doesn't. I've installed over 120mb of apps and still have >140mb free to install more. I've put nothing on the SD card.

Can anyone confirm if the one v will work with a 64gb micro sd card? I know it states up to 32gb but that's not always right.

At the risk of getting moaned at for bumping an old thread, seeing as no one answered it, I can confirm the One V will take a 64GB card.

Alright question about the SD card.

So, i have a 16gb sd card in my phone. I've always had one in every phone I buy. The purpose is to have more space for music and movies. With this phone, unlike every previous phone I've had, the 6gb on my sd card is also showing as taking up space in my usb storage (internal). So, basically, having an sd card is pointless since it's using up space on both my sd card and internal storage. This is really pissing me off because I'm now out of internal space because of it. This has got to be a bug, right? If not, this is an insane way of using storage on a phone. Does anyone know how to fix this? By the way, I'm rooted and on FF18. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

Im not sure i understand the question very well but i'll try.
im guessing that you are wondering about the default placement of files on our phone and because the storage is built into the phone samsung made the internal storage the default location for most if not all apps, unless they give you the option to do otherwise. Unlike most Androids previous to those made around the release of the GSII

No,I understand the default thing. What I'm saying is, is when I look at my storage in settings and it shows each item that's taking up space in internal storage, it lists "external_sd" as an item. So it's taking up space that's actually used on my sd CARD on my internal storage. So, I'm losing 6 gb when I shouldn't be at all, because that's on my card, not my internal usb storage. Hope that clears it up for some.

Its just showing that cause it needs to mount to the system. In reality it would only take up a few kb from the phone memory itself just to mount. Otherwise you won't be able to use it.

Hmm..well that can't be the case because it was telling me I'm out of memory when I tried to install an app today. So my internal storage is counting my 6 gigs as part of internal storage when in reality it's just on the card

Pretty sure that's an ics bug. Go unmount you sdcard in settings then install the app it should go through fine then

[Q] Link2SD

So I kept running out of room, and decided to install link2sd.
I'm on cloudyg3 rom, with a 32gb Samsung sd.
I partitioned a 2nd part of sd card to around 10gb and ext4 for apps.
I put most apps and internal data (from pro version) onto sd to save space.
However my phone is now often REALLY slow and laggy , crashes, and I have to wait 5 mins to do stuff now.
Any advice?

Is your uSD class 10? If not, it's going to slow things down. If it's a slow card, link apk's and those of apps that don't normally run (in background either)

i thought a phone with a 32gb internal storage doesnt need link2sd lol.
people use link2sd are mainly if their internal storage are less than 2gb

If you have Xposed you could use 'obb to sd' module to move large obb files to sd without partition. This won't slow the device.

I've got a 16gb (5gb which is system apparently) and my phone often runs out of room saying it cant install any new apps

I recommend you do not put all your apps on your sd card. Just put your games and / or other apps really big. SD cards aren't fast as the device's internal memory, no metter the class.
Then, things can get worse when you run several apps at once
