Using more than one sdcard with ap2sd?

I need to change between some sdcards, because I have a lot of videos and games that does not fit in only one sd...
But I have ap2sd, and I figure I need to clone ext partition to the others sd cards (phone hangs if I insert other sdcard) ...
So, that is the question... ¿How can I clone the ext partition of the working sdcard to the rest???
I tried Partion magic, and parangon, but the problem is that software aks to reboot to do the job, and out of windows the usb sdcard reader driver don´t work, and those applications can´t find it when reboot.
I tried ubuntu, but it said I am not (even I am root) the ownership of the files, and don´t let me copy and paste...
I tried G1 terminal with busybox, to copy /system/sd/ to another folder, but it said (even with SU) it can´t, even I see all apps and delvik folder and so on inside /system/sd/...
Any idea how can I do it??
THANKS

check your pm's

it involves commands that could be seen as a way to pirate other peoples work so the mods do not like to see them which i cannot blame them. i cannot recall the thread but i saw one where they edited a post that showed how to do pull apps.

I would like to switch sdcards too. Anyone can help me?

24.8 MB Mystery file dsp.crash.1288434925.img

This file magically appeared on root of my SD card. I have no idea how it was generated or where it could have come from.
In preparation of installing CM6.1 I was backing up my SD card and noticed this monster file, I saved a copy to my desktop and am almost tempted to burn a copy as i'm kinda curious what the heck it is. I changed the file extension to txt to possibly view anything that might make sense, but no such luck, all gibberish.
For lack of any other clues i'm wondering if it has anything to do with DSP Manager? I did have a couple of force closes early on with DSP Manager but its been behaving fine for awhile now so i'm clueless.
Anybody have any input on this?
I'm not overly concerned but at the same time if i've got some rogue program running around creating 24 MB img files i'd certainly like to know.
ATT version N1
CM 6.0 stable at the time .img file was spawned

A bit of Google:

Read the remarks in the code.

img is a file system format extension. Why would you try and open it as a text file? lololol

More details please, I'm not adverse to trying this as long as I'm not going to break anything.

Don't try this, as it'll rewrite your system partition with whatever is saved in the IMG. It's definitely not the system, the size isn't nearly big enough.

[GPS][DEV]Heathens GPS Fix[EDT] - Updated 3/19/11

Gingerbread.GPS.zip
This is a flash for the GPS files pulled from the new XWJV1 Gingerbread I9000 Leak.
Rather a mix of GB GPS and Vibrant GPS.
Wipes Dalvik so it will take a minute longer to reboot after flashing it.
This took a little longer for me to lock indoors but I was still able to get 6 meters accuracy with 6 of 12 birds locked.
************************************************************
S.gps.zip
AKA Super GPS
This is the one you want to try!
Flash on 2.2.1 and under.
Great success has been had when combining this software fix with the hardware fix found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878970
************************************************************

im assuming this is for cm 7? i hope so and if it is i love you !!!

Well, first off, you will be the first person to try these files on cm7 - that I know of.
Secondly, unzip the file and place the files on your sdcard and use root explorer to copy and paste them in to their respective folders using the folder structure I have them in as your guide.

Sent from my Vibrant using XDA App

Waiting on CM7 feedback from this as well.

I am trying on CM7. As a note, the /data/gps/ folder has some completely different looking files in there than the secgps.conf. /system/bin/ also did not contain agpsd, but /system/etc/ did contain gps.conf. I do not know what any of that means specifically.
3+ minutes so far in GPSTest (indoors), and it does not even pretend to be sniffing a satellite.

Works beautifully on Darkys 9.3.

[RELEASE][NANDROID] Rooted Factory-Stock ROM

Hi all!
Well, thanks to everyone for their donations-- without you, this wouldn't be possible.
I present to you, one stepping stone towards custom ROMs: the shipping ROM on the device, backed up as a NANDROID.
What is this?
This is the shipping ROM on the device. There are no changes to this ROM besides being rooted.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How do I use this?
Extract the contents of this file to your SD card (external SD card) under
Code:
/clockworkmod/backups/
and you will end up with a
Code:
/clockworkmod/backups/revo_stock
folder.
Run Clockwork on your device, and select "Backups and Restore" then "Advanced Restore". Select "revo_stock" as the backup to restore, and choose to restore ONLY "system".
(You can also restore boot.img, but it is unnecessary, and I only left that in there for future use.)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What does this backup include?
This backup ONLY includes /system and boot.img. There is no recovery.img in this backup, nor is there a /data or /cache.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Will I lose my apps or information if I restore this backup?
No you will not, this backup will not touch your /data partition.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why is this useful?
Accidentally erased something important in /system?
Removed something and now 4g Hotspot doesn't work?
Restore this, and it'll fix that... of course all the stock OS will come back, but hey-- you get a second chance

Extract through windows and put on your SD card in the proper folder.

its telling me that i have a md5 mismatch!!! i will try downloading it again.

Thanks cube please keep up the hard work! I wish I could do something to help other then sending some $$$ I would love to help bring the revolution along.
Viva la revolution.

Did anybody use this yet. i tried and it says my md5 does not match. i tried numerous times

Haven't tried it yet but I checked the MD5 against the images and they are correct.

Ah, sorry, forgot to state select "Advanced Restore" or whatever it's called-- JUST restore system.img.
If you select "Restore" it looks for the /data and recovery.img in the nandroid.md5 file, and when it doesn't find it, it errors out with an md5 error.
I'll edit the instructions now...

Just tested this. I can't advanced restore the system.img either. Comes back with MD5 mismatch. I can restore my own backups without a hitch however.
[Edit] I forgot to mention. There's a carriage return on the Rooted Factory-Stock ROM MD5 file. Removing it didn't seem to matter. I was thinking that maybe it was the culprit.

Agh! you just gave me the answer... I saved it in windows, rather than linux, so the line endings are wrong...
If you're able to, just open the file nandroid.md5 in Notepad++ or something like it, and remove the extra blank line, and change the line endings to UNIX style.
Thanks, I'll re-upload the .zip when I'm on a faster connection.
The actual .img files themselves are good, though.

Is there a version of this with everything? In other words, not just system but data, etc. I somehow am stuck in CWR...don't have a nandroid backup. I pushed this to the right place on the SD card, did the system restore, but it still repeatedly boots into CWR. Is there anything that will do a FULL restore instead of just system?
Thanks in advance.

Hm, so you did a data wipe from within Android. Yep, that'll get you stuck in CWR, but it's not a problem with the backup, it's that the LG bootloader isn't happy with Clockwork.
When installing Clockwork, did you make the p8 backup?

so im having the same problem i even started a thread too but im an idiot and didnt make that p8 backup because the md5sum didnt match so i stopped there but clockwork still seem to flashed to the phone now im in clockwork everytime i boot up was wondering any way to work around this if not guess imma just get a new phone until there is a way

There is a way, I just haven't written it into an easy-to-use program yet.
For now, if you haven't made a p8 backup, the easiest method is for you to come on IRC and have me adb into your phone and fix it for you.
If I get a spare moment though, I will work on a stuckinclockwork.zip that you can flash using clockwork to get you out of clockwork.

Thanks for replying. I knew I should have given more information, darn it! I have a rooted i957 LTE that has a really ugly Telus boot screen, Since I don't plan on using this tab for data with AT&T or Telus, I'd like to just get a Samsung (or a generic android) boot animation. I've found some other boot animations in different forums, but I thought that the 7310 would be my best bet because the resolution should be correct without any tweaking. I've seen people posting links to boot files in the past and was hoping someone could do the same with the 7310. Thanks again for your reply.

Here's the situation. I am using the DannoRom_2xx. His Rom has the two qmg files in question located in system>media. I have tried replacing those files with other qmg animation files and they don't seem to want to be replaced. Do I need to replace the files in the ROM and then re-flash the ROM? Actually, I did accomplish part of what I wanted to do (although I'm not sure how I did it.) I did get rid of the Telus screen so now I just have a black screen while my tab is booting. Obviously this is not an urgent problem, I'm just determined to figure out how to do this. It was much easier using zip files on the Nook Color last year. Thanks for trying to help.

How did you try to replace them?
The /system file-system is mounted read-only. It needs to be re-mounted read-write before you can modify it. And then re-mounted read-only in the interest of safety.

Hmmm. There is another explanation (other than not being rooted, which you already seem to be).
Is the /system/media a distinct file-system? Or a symlink?
(I don't believe the i957 is that different, though)
What does the mount or df command say?
And 'ls -ld /system/media' ?
Also, have you tried doing the mv/cp using adb?

Okay, I surrender! I am not afraid to admit that I am apparently in over my head. I just wanted to replace the current QMG files with some others,and it looks like I have ventured into, what is for me, unchartered territory. I have used ADB in the past, but I don't think I know enough to be really comfortable with it. Samsung's proprietary animation files are way beyond my ability to deal with. I'll be following this thread to see if someone out there who is much more knowledgeable than I, comes up with a procedure that I can understand and actually implement.

Easy for you to say. Sorry if this offends. Please tell me what I should do in this circumstance. Your most recent response is way over my head. I gave as much information that I could come up with. Other than that, what would you have me do. Should I pretend that I know what you are talking about, or should I acknowledge that this thread has moved beyond my ability to understand. I was hoping to find someone with some recognition of the problems I was dealing with. Obviously not something you have experienced for yourself. I tried everything that was suggested until I got to this last post which made absolutely no sense to me. Of course I can google until the cows come home, and I probably will, trying to figure out what all of the references you made actually mean. I really am sorry if I led anyone to believe that I knew and understood more than I do. I come from the earlier XDA threads for the Nook Color which was a very special place for all of us newcomers who were so excited about learning what we could do. It has been all too obvious that those Nook Color forums were the not the norm. I have managed to work my through a few other android products: the touchpad, the nexus s, and the galaxy 7.7. All rooted with help fro XDA. The 8.9 doesn't seem to have the same interest and dedication that some of the other forums have. Sorry to have been a distraction.
