Is it possible to overclock while using Froyo from an SD card, or does it have to be installed to the internal drive? (I do see overclocking roms posted but I don't want to accidentally mess up my NC by installing the froyo OC's while running from the SD card)

ok guys. i am running a rooted g1 with the 2.6.3 hero build. i am running it on the 1 gb sd card that the phone came with. the speed of the build sucks and lags because of the card. i am going to purchase a 4 gb or 8 gb class 6 card today to improve speed and will also get on a newer hero rom. my question is, when i put all the data that is on my old card to my new card will i still be on root, and will i still be on hero? will it be plug and play basically? will i have to reformat to fat32 or will it already be on there? one last thing..how do you partition the sd card? i will need to do this so i can jump to a newer build of the rom..
anything helps.
thanks,
Nick
The rom and root .... is based on the phone it's self, not the SD card.
You are best to install an Ubuntu live cd .... and use G-Parted to partition your SD card.
Serious Answer!
I'm assuming you are already running apps2sd right now. So when you get your new card you will NOT be able to just swap them out. Best thing to do is format your new card (just like other poster said in ubuntu, look in my sig for tut) in 3 partitions fat32, ext3, and linux-swap. Then load up your hero rom on your sd card and flash away. And yea you will still be rooted.
So, now that we have Froyo we can move apps to the SD Card, I am guessing it means the External SD Card?
Should we use ROM Manager to Partition the Card so that we can do that or will the phone do it when we tell it to move the app to the SD card?
If we flash to a new ROM, and the APPs are on the SD Card are we like cool to go and have no need to back up APPs ever again?
I'm planning on moving from a 2gb card to an 8gb card. I'm rooted, CM7 RC4 on emmc with Clockwork 3.0.1. Are there any root/system files that are typically stored on it that won't be tranferred easily by copy/paste onto the new card?
Not that I'm aware of. I haven't had any problems like that with the stock ROM or Nookie Froyo. Android OS will write those files directly, so unless CM made significant changes to the way Android writes system files, unlikely you'll see any issues. Cheers!
a few people report problems with class 10 sd cards. I have a class6 and class10. I've had a problem with one froyo build that i couldn't install on the card using my normal techniques. I was able to get it to run by setting it up on a class 6 and moving it to a class 10 later. my class6 is an 8gb and class10 is 16gb, so the size might have been part of the problem as the 16gb cards aren't as easy to setup using verygreens cm7 sd card prop instructions.
i'd say if you are concerned, get a 8gb class6, unless you are comfortable with resizing partitions and willing to monkey around a bit if you run into issues on a class 10 card.

I think you're referring to CM7 being stored on the internal, correct? if that's the case, you would be just transferring the user data stuff (and app data that is created from apps)you shouldn't have any problems transferring data from one to the other. I've done it a few times both with my nook and my droid.
Hello XDA members and Developers,
I'm having Motorola Milestone Running 2.2.1 Froyo
I want to use SD Card as Internal Memory so that I can install more and more apps.
I already have apps2sd but it doesn't send all apps to SD Card so, Still we have to stop downloading apps. But I think by rooting there is a way EXT2 (Partitions of SD Card) like this only. I want the guide over this Please give me the guide.
Thanks. And XDA Rocks Its a complete guide to Phone Users

I have installed CM7 on the SD card and NOT the Nook's internal memory, so if the SD card is taken out I still have my stock Nook ROM.
However, I have installed ClockWorkRecovery through the CM7 ROM (installed in SD Card) and now I would like to remove just CWR, since I cannot receive Nook official ROM update if CWR is installed.
Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks for the link, but the solution given there does not work.
The problem I am having is because CWR is installed on the Nook internal memory, but CM7 is installed in the SD card.
As of right now, I CANNOT BOOT INTO CWR. When I boot into CM7 (installed in SD card and not Nook's Internal memory) and try to reboot to CWR, the Nook will boot but then just go back to CM7
Did you try shutting the NC off, removing the SD card, then holding the power and 'n' button? I don't know if that will work unless you've got a custom rom...
