Hi,
Thank you in advance for your time (Dev and/or others)!
I tried this by manually editing the file and it definitely works!
A question though; Does this affect just the Internal Storage? Or does it also affect the External SD Card as well?
Also, I would like to set the Scheduler to Deadline. There are many apps (SD, CPU, etc.) that will do that, but when I look at my setup (sys info app), it shows for every one of them, that it is only setting it for the Internal Storage, but not my External Storage. Who wants to run one (Internal) using Deadline and the other (External) using the Default CFQ?
Is there some way, editing a file, or an app (pay is fine) that can/will handle this? Does anyone have any type of solution for this issue, please?
To be 100% accurate, I should have said that JRummy's ROM ToolBox will do it, but it's an entire package of (great) apps/functions and I really don't want to install an entire suite of things that I already have covered with other apps individually, which is how I prefer it, so that I can purchase the best one there is for each function. And that method has worked well for me, so why change it now?
Thank You Again!

I will state emphatically that under every day usage:
No Boost = Crawl
Boost = Big Boost!!!

I have used this/your app for years and loved it!
However, with the brand new (verified genuine) 64GB, exFAT, Class 10 External SD Card, SD-Booster sees it when I boot my Rooted, SG Mega 6.3", KitKat 4.4.4 on MegaKat ROM (tweaked Stock OEM).
But after a few minutes, it just loses it. It even disappears from the app when you open it and reading from my Ext SD Card slows WAY down!
I'd be happy to test any (install Apk's) for you if you so desire to see what's going on and report back quickly (same day!). Again, if you're so inclined.
Just FYI; Yes, I was using the latest version.
Thanks!

Hi!
Just FYI for everyone, I use Philz Touch Recovery 6.48.4, which is based on CWM 6.0.5.0 (and even uses the same backup folders), so I figured I'd give flashing the 2048KB Zip a shot.
Unfortunately, the installation fails, so save yourself the time and just use the app referenced in the OP.

Hi,Many people are wondering why higher read ahead cache sizes aren't used in stock ROMs since they show significantly higher read speeds in benchmarks. Well the reason is because a benchmark is just a benchmark. The benchmarks applied to test the SD card speeds tend to test SD cards under maximum pressure. However this is not usually the case. This means that in normal use, where the device is accessing a few small files, as opposed to one large file during a transfer or download, a smaller read ahead is better to reduce lag. A large read ahead means that even when accessing extremely small files, the read ahead size must be met, which creates wastefulness and reduces performance. This is the reason why just placing the read ahead size at maximum is not the best and shows slower speeds sometimes.

Daniel,Hello folks,
I just released SD-Booster 2.0 on Google Play.
Features:
-MMC detection framework to support any SD-Card and SD-Memory
-Speedup every external and internal SD-Memory
-Configure each SD-Card/SD-Memory separately (New!)
-Set on system start (boot) feature
-Device monitoring (New!)
-Notification system (New!)
-Color based suggestion terms of current cache size
-Multi-Language support (New!)
I want to show you the advantages of SD-Booster:
Well, every card is a different - Right! I'm not only talking about size or manufactor,
i'm talking about classes (2-10) and the filesystem which is used. Finally the content,
your data files are importent anyway.
So, there are a lot of possible constellations and each one needs a perfect cache size
for the best result. SD-Booster used for every single card a unique signature.
So, SD-Booster knows your setting for each single card. This feature together with
the "monitor" (insert/eject/mount card) feature makes SD-Booster very good for any
case of tuning.
However, i hope you'll test my little app and i have a open mind for any feedback.
