New SD Card (what to do)...

So i ordered a new Class 6 SD Card.
Before this i was on the stock 1GB SD card that came with the G1 with an ext2 partition, and running the latest Cyan mod.
Basically i was just wondering what i need to do when my new card comes. I know i need to partition it to FAT32, and then i was gonna do ext3, and a linux swap. Can i just use sdparted script to do this?
And finally i was gonna try a Hero rom now that i have the SD card that is actually capable of running it. I push it with adb and just flash after partitioning, right?
Is there any way of getting my apps back or am i going to have reinstall everything again? I don't REALLY mind doing all over again, but it'd be nice not to have to. And if it's possible, how?
Thanks for any help/clarification...

dear ally,
there is a app that allows you to back up apps..
p.s. i apologize im not a native speaker..of how do u say..umm ur motherlan

Yes.
First re-partition the card using parted from the recovery menu or using the Amon-Ra Recovery. There are instructions for that littered everywhere in the Q&A and the Developer's forum, just use the search.
To use the Hero ROMs you need to flash the Danger SPL unless you plan on using MicroHero with HardSPL. If you want to use any of the new Hero ROMs they will require the Danger SPL and note the bold. Look up the proper instructions for flashing the SPL before actually diving in.
And no. You don't need to re-install everything. Just use switchrom or BART to make a backup as it will also make a backup of your ext partition. After backing up, just restore it after transferring everything from the FAT32 partition of your old sdcard to the new one.

I just checked and i have 1.33.2005 SPL. I believe that's the correct one, right?

I just tried to push Bart to system/sd...i'm pretty sure i did it right but when i try to store my ext it says it can't open the file.
What am i doing wrong?

Thank you very much...that seems to have worked
I really like this recovery image too

No problem man, glad to have helped.

Download Amon_Ra's new recovery image and look for the 3 way partition option...once partioned, do a data wipe, drag and drop your rom of choice in .zip format onto the root of your sd card and rename it to "update"
Backup for Root users works well for restoring your apps. it can be found in the marketplace. I believe there is a donate version and a free version.

Eclair on SD Card

Right now I am running Android 1.5 from my sd card (the version were I just put the files on the card, hit haret and it runs) and was wondering if any one updated the 1.5 to 2 doing the same process. I am running Sprint and really don't want to unlock the phone or flash a rom.

you can still use the nomorootfs method, using haret, just select sdcard for the storage of sys and data and nothing in your precious win mo install will be touched. see my FAQ.

Old files on SD

I'm just wondering about the old files such as dreamimg.nbh, and the older files I used to root my phone with, If I can now delete them..?
I'm running the latest cyanogen mod, but the old updates are taking up 100-200MB of space on my SD card..

No you shouldn't need them anymore. You would only need them if you became unrooted again

[Q] Question RE: Liquidsense 2.1.1

Hi guys,
Complete 1st time newbie over here. I rooted my CDMA hero 2.1 yesterday for the first time and wanted to flash in the liquidsense 2.1.1. I'm not a techie and so had a few questions however.
1) Liquidsense 2.1.1 should work with my phone, correct? It's Sprint CDMA Hero android 2.1.
2) How do I use apps2sd? Should I partition my sdcard before flashing in the rom? After flashing in the rom? And how do I partition it (what sizes)?
3) Are the apps transferred to the sd card automatically? Or do I do this manually?
Thank you folks,
KP

Anyone? Help?

1. Yes, it will work.
2. I dunno, I don't use apps2sd
3. See #2.

Copy everything from your sd card to a safe place on you computer.Then boot into recovery and scrool down to partition sd card just follow along with default settings.Don't upgrade to ext 4 unless the rom you are flashing has a kernel that supports it.Once that step is done copy the contents of your sd card from the safe place on you computer back to your card.Flash the rom of your choice that supports apps2sd then reboot.I am having a hrd time remembering I think when you d/l the apps and reboot it moves the apps to your sd card.Someone can correct me on this.I'll try to add a link to better instructions later today when I get home.
EDIT: Here is the link to setup instr.

Installing 1.2 Update

I have a rooted nook with the stock firmware running off internal storage and CM7 running off my memory card. Today I went to try and install the 1.2 update and was unable to do so using the instructions from the B&N website. The NC would try to load the update and then I would be greeted with a sad Android logo.
I was eventually able to load the 1.2 update and here is how I did it.
1. Make sure you back everything up. I researched this solution for me and it worked for me. I did not create these files so dont get mad at ME if they dont work for YOU.
2. Use this file to remove CW recovery from your device. http://www.etoile-laconnex.com/CWR-removal-rootsafe.zip
you will need to use CW recovery to flash that zip file.
3. After you run the zip file. POWER OFF.
4. POWER ON with the SD card slot empty.
5. Since I had the stock FW on my internal memory I was able to boot to that. Once booted I dropped the 1.2 update zip on the root of the internal memory. Once the file was on the NC i removed the USB cable and then hit the lock button. I waited about 2 minutes and the nook rebooted and installed the update.
6. I was then able to reboot to my SDcard and then reinstall CW recovery.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I hope this works for more people than just me.

Do I need to un-root my device before putting the 1.2 update zip file in NookColor's root directory?
I have put the zip file on the NookColor drive as instructed by BN. Then I waited for two minutes. My NookColor reboots itself to the Android screen. The 1.2 update zip file is gone, but the update is not applied.
Any idea on installing the 1.2 update on a rooted NookColor?

I downloaded zip file and place it to the sdcard. Is this rite?

Place the downloaded zip file onto the main nook color drive.

Don't know what I did but finally worked.

I had a nootered 1.0.1 NC and ran into the same issue, both when I tried to install the 1.1 update (gave up on it eventually) and this one. Finally I threw in the hat, backed up all my apps with appmonster, -though I hate how the recent update backs up the apps as #ed .apk's buried under two folders rather than the old appname.apk all in the backup folder. Made it easier to share b/w diff devices- did the 8 boot interrupts reset, copied the update file to the root directory of the NC (not sdcard) and Bob's your uncle, updated NC. Though truth be told I now wish I hadn't jumped the gun with it. I miss the crapload of great apps I had available (3 different Angry Birds...who wouldn't miss that? Who cares if it's essentially the same thing every time) and watching the nightly news on a 7 inch screen on the long BART ride home. Counting the hours 'til I stumble across the next auto nooter. Tick tock tick tock....

This may help angry birds
Potential fix for Angry Bird install after manual nooter
A lot of people are saying that you can't install angry birds with the SD card installed. This sounds like the problem that I had with my Droid X. To fix it I had to delete the file left from the prior install under .android secure on the SD card. I guess that Froyo sometimes has issues with this file getting corrupt on the micro SD and then it can't install correctly during updates and reinstalls. I think you lose all previous data but at least you have it working normally now with the SD card installed. I'll try it on my nook and post back. I would have put this in the manual nooter thread but I don't have enough posts to post there.
