Recovery : RAs 1.3.2
Rom: MLIGN 3.0
SD: 8 gig class 2
Love MLIGN but obviously my sd is the only problem keeping my phone running smooth, so I am upgrading my SD to a class 6. Is there anything special that I need to do since my phone is already running MLIGN and RAs when I pop in the new sd? (i.e. partition?)
Thank you in advance!
you won't have apps on your ext unless you pull them on adb then push then onto the new card.

no because ext partition is linux, windows wont see the partition. i use paragon partition manager and just copy the partitions from my sd card

Is the right way popping in the sd card, partitioning it, then adding the apps?
If it wouldnt be to much to ask, can someone take me step by step, or advise if the above method in red will work.
Thank you in advance
Well you need an ext file browser
try extfs browser by paragon
open up the ext partition on the SD. Take the folders app, app_private, and put them on your computer
partition the card, plug it in, and copy over the folders back onto the new ext partition

I have apps2sd installed, but I prefer to run my apps in my phone instead. How do I move my apps back? Thanks.

if i remember correctly, just don't have an ext partition on your sd card and it should keep them on your internal memory.

My apps are already in my SD card. I want to format my SD card, but I want to move my apps to my internal memory first. If I just insert a new SD card without any ext partition, wouldn't I run into a lot of problems?

it would, but i was assuming you were starting on a fresh wipe and installation.
Follow this guide at the bottom it tells you how to "Uninstall" Apps2Sd

Very easy to follow
So I switched sd cards to a new 8gb class 6 one. I'm running mlign 3.2B right now. So what I did is I took all the stuff off the root of the card and put it in a folder on my computer. Then I opened up recovery with the new card in and put everything back on. When I rebooted it just loops at the htc screen with the android.

You never transfered all the files in the ext2/3 partition over. I would make a full BART backup including the ext partition on the old sdcard, copy the files from the backup to the new sdcard, and just restore it from there to get a full copy of your ext partition back.

well instead, I just did the following: in recovery I partitioned at 128, 512, and rest, then I did ext to 3 then 4. Then I rebooted to recovery, put the rom on, wiped data, dalvik, and ext, then I flashed the rom. Then it says htc provider has stopped working, along with google maps.
Did you format the ol card?
You could do the EXT+Nandroid option in Amon_RA.

well I did this just with it straight out of the box so no. Should I format it, and how?
every time I unmount the card it's fine, but once I remove the card the phone restarts.

You cant take the sd out of the phone while its on b/c of swap or app2sd being active still.

Oh yeah lol, sorry about that meant to say sd card.
well now what happens is I partition, then when I try to upgrade ext it gives me an error telling me to do it using the console.
[Solved]Okay, I currently have a 2gb (don't even know the brand) MicroSD in my rooted Dream/G1. I am running SuperD 1.10.2. I have Apps2SD setup already. I just bought a PNY 4gb Class 4 MicroSD yesterday and I want to use it. How do i transfer EVERYTHING to it? And will I have to re-install all the apps that were installed on the 2gb card?
Thanks, xKr4zex

The possibilities.....
You could do it the hard way or the easy way.
Hard way is by using adb and do
command prompt
adb pull /system/sd /sdbackup/sd
and partition your new card using amon_ra recovery
then
command prompt
adb shell
mount -a
exit
cd c:\sdbackup
adb push sd /system/sd
and that should do it.
Easy way
Make a nandroid backup with ext,
save the contents of you sdcard (especially nandroid folder)
partition your new sdcard with amon_ra recovery with your desired ext partition,
restore your backups from your old card,
place new card in phone,
nandroid restore and reboot.
You should be good.
Thanks for the reply. I also wanted to know, if I already have apps2sd and Linux swap enabled, do I have to disable>power off>new card>restore>re enable apps2sd and Linux?

You shouldn't have to re-do anything once your partitions are in place.
If your card is setup like FAT/SWAP/EXT3 (using EXT3 for example) for card 1 then as long as your partitions are FAT/SWAP/EXT3 for card 2 then everything should work just fine. Even if your swap partition is a different size it should be alright. The only thing is that if card 1 (old card) EXT3 partition is 500mb and if you are using 300mb of that card you need to have 300mb+ on card 2 EXT3 partition so that all of your data can fit on there after you do your nandroid restore.
I did this method personally when I went from a 8gb to a 16gb.
Old card was 8gb composed of ~7gb (FAT)/64mb (swap)/500mb (ext3)
New card is 16gb composed of ~13gb (FAT)/96mb (swap)/1gb (ext3)
I simply performed a nandroid+ext backup
Backed up my entire sdcard onto my desktop (including nandroid directory)
Put the new card in and repartitioned with Amon_RA recovery as posted above.
Restored the data from my backup that was on my desktop
Performed a nandroid+ext restore
Done. Very easy.
Just do it. You'll be amazed how complicated your making this.
I just did this this morning before seeing this thread and i did exactly as it says here. I only encountered one problem...My Music playlists didnt transfer how do i get those? I still have my old sd card with all the stuff in it by the way.
Thanks! Solved.

I think there are third party apps that will do that. I'm not sure what file that is exactly.
Quick Question..
Well i just bought a class 6 sd card, can i just copy all the files from my other sd card,to the one i just bought, and it will work fine. Or do i have to put the files on and reflash the rom(DC 2.08)??

What your going to do is, copy all your files from your old SD card to a space on your hard drive. Then, insert the new SD card into your phone, format it, and only after you have formatted inside the phone, you can put your files you copied to your hard drive onto the new SD card. Just drag and drop. Simple.
p.s. This is just what I would do. Might be a faster way

If you are using apps 2 sd, here is what I did. Made a nandroid back up with extension. Copied everything off my sd card to my computer including the nandroid back up. Inserted the new card into the phone and booted into recovery. Partitioned the new card appropriately for apps 2 sd. Copied the files back onto the sd card. Wiped data, dalvick, and ext while in recovery then restored the nandroid back up. Everything should work then.
If you're not running a2sd copy to pc and then on to the new card after you've formatted

So I have installed the Rom on the SDCard and I can see the Rom Manager but I took the SD Card out and put the Google App zip from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version on the SD Card booted the nook back and then went into Rom Manager to "Boot Into Recovery" but nothing happens the system just reboots and I don't get that screen with the orange text to let me install the apps from the SD card.
Keep in mind that I rooted the nook the soft way buy making a bootable SD card.

It doesn't sound like you've actually rooted the nook - you've just booted into an alternate ROM on the SD card. If you want to get into CWM, you can either create an SD card which has CWM and will launch it when you boot with the SD card in, or you can install it to internal memory so the SD card isn't necessary.
Thanks for the notes. I basically figured out I didn't really need it if I used the trick of turning the unit on while holding the N button. As a follow up question. Now that I have everything setup can I make an image of this SD Card and put that image on a bigger faster card? Or will I need to start over?

If you use dd just to copy the raw data on the SD card, you'll get the advantages of faster speed, but the partition will be the exact same size. If you want to take advantage of the bigger space, you'll need to partition the SD card and copy the files manually.

So I don't know much about dd although I have seen it on the site before so I can look that up. As for the partitioning tool I know the first partition has to be 'boot' not sure on what size it has to be or any other specifics do you know any of that data? Also thanks for taking the time to answer all of this. I am hoping that this will stop some of the Force Close issues I am seeing.
The easiest way is to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957 to install CM7 to your SD card. The image takes care of creating the partitions of the appropriate size. As for writing the image itself, you can follow any guide for dd, or use WinImage on Windows which is probably a bit easier to follow.
Yeah but I wanted to know if I could copy all my date over. Just by like copy and paste sort of thing. In other words I dont want to get to carried away on installing all this stuff then have to redo everything once I get a better card.
