Well I just installed Bluebrush onto my G1 today. Anyways, whenever I start it it says, "You must insert an SD Card before using BlueBrush."
I have my SD card inserted and it has two partitions, Primary FAT32 and Secondary EXT2. This was for moving apps to the SD card. From this you can know it is rooted. I have only moved the app folder but not the data folder, should I also move the data folder?
Anyone else having a problem with this on their rooted G1?

Hello,
I am buying a 16 GB Class 6 Micro SD soon, and i was wondering if there is anything I should do to it before putting it into my phone. Should I be worried, since the new SD card isn't partitioned, about accidentally bricking my phone? If so, what should I do to it before putting it inside of my phone?
Thanks.
1. you will loose all applications, they are stored on the sd card, so duh!. (lots of force closes)
2. you can't brick your phone by replacing an sd card.
If you want to use or already using apps2sd, you will need to partition the new card to have an EXT partition. This is where the apps will be loaded on the sd card. You can use the latest from Amon Ra (located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=5666691) to partition the new sd card.
After rebooting from the partitioning, you will need to download all of the apps from the market again. Or you can backup using a rooted back up.
If you are not using any apps2sd currently, then you only need to ensure that the new card is formatted to fat32.
Thanks, so when I get the sd card I should just put it in, boot into recovery, partition it and then re-download all the apps and I'm done?
make a backup using what you like best (nandroid, switchrom, etc.) and copy all you fat32 to your computer.
put in new sd card, create desired partitions and mount to your pc so you can copy all your old files over (this will include your backup) then unmount and unplug from pc
restore backup and you will be right back to business as usual for the most part (may lose some passwords and other small things)
Rooted NC and ran fine for last 2 weeks. Yesterday it would not not boot up with the SD card installed, but boots fine with the SD card removed. Anyone know of a solution? Thanks.
Is the SD card the one you used to root? If so, boot your NookColor then format the SD card from Settings. The "AutoNooter" SD card image is bootable, so every time you booted with the SD card in it was trying to re-root your NookColor.
This is the same SD card I used when I rooted. When root was complete, I erased contents of SD card. Sd card content now consists of movies, game data, books, and music. It has booted fine with this information on the SD card for 2 weeks, but now will not.

Man, that's weird. Unless there was something you downloaded on the card that's trying to boot, I'd probably recommend looking into an exchange for a new one.
Step One: Try another uSD card.
Happened to me just after I rooted. Using my Windows machine and card reader I copied all the contents of my card to a folder, formatted the card to FAT32 and then put the contents back onto the SD card. There were some system and hidden files at the root level on the card which I did not copy or put back on the card. This fixed the problem and I did not lose any data.
Hi,
My phone is installed by a pre-rooted MM rom and currently it's working welll without any problem.
But I found out one issue for sd card name.
internal memory name is under 'sdcard'.
sd memory(External) name is under 'storage/9016-4EF8'.
I think some app's data is not moved to sd card(External) due to that sd memory name.
For example, I installed "Day" app and data is saved both 'Internal' and 'Ext' in Link2SD app and App2SD app.
I checked file location for the app using 'Link2SD' but app's file location is still in the Internal.
Internal - Data(Data in Link2Sd) : /data/user/0/com.osmino.day
External - Data on SD Card(Data(Ext.) in Link2Sd) : /data/media/0/Android/data/com.osmino.day (Why internal???)
So I could not move data to Data(Ext.) because it's already recognized Data(Ext.) to extern SD card.
I think External SD Card file location would be like this "/storage/9016-4EF8/data/media/0/Android/data/com.osmino.day".
How can I change sd card and internal name or move to external sd card to move to external SD Card?
Do you have any idea?
Thank you.

There are several paths to the external SD card with MM
/storage/exfat_uuid
is probably the shortest.
Download a copy of root explorer and familiarise yourself with the new MM file structure, it's not complicated, it just has new names from LL.
Using apps to move other apps onto the SD card doesn't sound like a recipe for success.
Let the Sony app manager do it.
thanks for reply.
then how can i move data to real external sd?
my storage is not enough so i need moving.
i think some app try to install data in external sd. I think many apps try to find sdcard named. currently sd card is internal memory. and exact sd card name is storage/9016-4ef8. i think that's why my internal memory is not enough.

Take the SD card out, save the data on it, then format it
When you put it back in your phone and it asks you what to do with the SD card, DO NOT format as internal storage. This feature doesn't really work, or if you do get it to work. then it's really buggy and apps can't use it.
Once you have the SD card working, just use settings/apps/*your app* In the first bar down it will say where the app is stored and if you click on it, it will give you the option to move it.
After installing CM12 on my Xperia V, I've moved some apps to my internal sd card (sdcard0), they work well and everything is fine.
Now when i insert external sd card to my phone , all apps moved to sdcard0 are disappeared, when i remove my external sd card and turn on my phone again the apps back again. I want to use my external sd card, can you help me?
Note: when i connect my ext sd card to computer i find android_secure folder.
Did it happen on any ROM u are using? Try to format sd card via pc and put it into ur phone and reinstall the apps with external card inserted in phone.

This is my first ROM.
I've tried formatting the sd card and the problem still not solved. The apps were installed on the external card before " by using Link2SD" but i want them on the internal storage
Note: When i try to move an app to sd card using normal app manager when the ext sd card inserted, they move to the ext card not sdcard0. so that's why i move them when ext card not inserted, they moved well but when i insert my sd card back they disappear.
I have moved some of my apps to an external SD card. I want to replace my SD card with a larger one, but don't want to break the apps that I've migrated to the SD card. If I copy all of the files from the old SD card to the new one, is there any way that I can retain access to the apps on the SD card without having to re-install them?
The reason I don't want to re-install the apps is that one of them (an e-reader app) has a large number of readable documents. These take a long time to download, and need to be done one at a time. Hence it would literally take hours to restore it.
All apps data should be in the Android folder of the SD card. So, just copy the whole Android folder to the new SD card. But make sure all apps that have been moved to SD card proir are not running while you swap SD cards.
Thanks. My concern is the name assigned to external SD cards seems to be different for each card. For example, my current card is listed as "4575-5888". If I replace it with a different card I assume that name/number will be different for the new card. If the apps installed on the old SD card refer to "4575-5888" then would they be broken when I put the new SD card in, even if I have copied over the /Android folder?
The name of the SD card makes no matter for sdcard1 is always sdcard1 = SD card slot.
