Hey guys I'm planning to replace my stock sd card, I just want to know how to copy all my files (apps+data) to the new sd card? Can titanium back up do all this? or do I need to manually copy all the files in my old sd card to the new sd card (copy and paste method)?
I don't want to start all over again so if anyone can help me.

If you want to be sure just copy all the folders and files from the old card to the new card. That would be enough.

I change my stock 2GB with 8GB, done with just copy-paste.. from stock sdcard copied to computer (also as my backup) then copy to new sdcard.
are you sure that its already enough? how about the datas? like saved games, files etc?
1.- Remove sdcard from OB.
2.- Copy all the stuff to your computer. A simple copy-paste.
3.- Copy from your computer to the new sd card.
4.- Insert the new sd card and enjoy.

Don't worry, the phone still read the same as before from sdcard. My game "Asphalt 5 HD" is still working after the data moved to new sdcard.
Well, you should try it for sure...
I've forgotten something very important!!!!!!
2.1.- Insert the new sd card into your OB.
2.2.- Format it through settings.
2.3.- Remove the card.
Complete!

¿¿¿¿¿?????
There's not much to elaborate on this matter, I'll try to put it as simple as possible:
1. Unmount old SD card in Android
2. Pull off an old SD card (the device doesn't need to be switched off)
3. Using microSD/SD card adapter, copy old SD card content to your PC.
4. Put new SD card in Android device.
5. Unmount it in Settings/SD Card
6. Format it in this menu
7. Pull off a new SD card.
8. Using microSD/SD card adapter, copy old SD content from PC to your new SD
9. Put new SD card in Android device.
DONE
I didn't go through 4-7, but formatted new SD card as FAT32 in PC, and it works well.
thanks for all the help guys.

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

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

I got my 32GB MicroSDHC Class 6 and wondering if all I need to do is a copy paste and start up my phone...???
You want to back up your SD card on your computer, then boot up your phone with the new SD card and format it
Then copy data from your old card to your new one...

Format? Where do I do that? How do I do that?
There are two ways to format an SD card. 1) put the SD Card in ur phone and goto settings and SD card storage and memory (exact wording may differ) and you should see an option to format the card. ( must not be mounted unmount first)
2) using ur computer but it varies by OS and platform

I just bought a new SDHC Card, a 32 gb Class 10 Kingston, and i have two questions about the use of it.
1) What is the best way to format it?
2) Can you just copy all the content of the old SD Card to the new one, by mounting the phone to the PC and insert the new SD Card to the reader in the PC and copy the content from the old card in the phone to the new card, and use it. Does alle the programs, games and photos installed on it then work?
1) Format on the phone using the format option, or on the PC to FAT or FAT32.
2) A physical copy is not possible as far as my knowledge goes, as some of the folders are protected and won't allow to be copied.
Best bet is to use a backup software which practically backsup everything - sms, contacts, apps, settings etc to your memory card.. and restore back to your new one.

Assuming your existing SD card holds only FAT/FAT32 partition, then all you have to do is unmount your SD card and remove it from your phone. Then copy all files into the new card using a PC and then insert the new card to the phone.
Okay, il'l try and se how it goes when i get then new card tomorrow - thanks guys ;-)
Hi,
I'm feeling really stupid and I hope someone can make sense of this for me.
I've always been confused with the virtual paths that recent Android versions use in the file structure, and am having a hard backing up my SD card to my PC.
I actually want to copy this file:
/storage/emulated/0/AuthenticatorPlus/authplus.db
to my PC so I can copy it to a different device, but would like to a backup at the same time.
I inserted the card into my PC and copied everything onto the PC, only to discover that I couldn't find the folder or the file. Worse yet, I realized that while I have what looks like hundreds of folders on my SD card, I have exactly SEVEN in my backup folder on the PC.
And now I'm having a hard time matching up the files on the PC to those on the SD card. For example, I found a file in the Downloads folder on the PC. I found it on the SD card, but the path is given as
/storage/3737-3334/Downloads
Huh? Can someone make sense of this for me? How can I copy my authplus.db file to my PC, or better yet, back up my entire SD card and make the backup look like what I see on the card?
Thanks!
P.S. I just decided I'd try uploading the file to Dropbox and when I selected the SD card, Dropbox showed me the same folders I'm seeing on the PC! What am I looking at?

That's because /storage/emulated/0 is considered a virtual SD card meaning a fake SD card and this is usually where downloads go.. The other one /storage/3737-3334/ is the actual real SD card that you put in the phone yourself.. The SD cards name is 3737-3334 that's why it shows up like that.. Basically the system downloads everything on to the fake SD card and it's your choice to copy it and paste it into the real SD card because anything that's in the fake SD card will get erased if you have to factory reset or anything.. Both of them the fake SD card and real one should both have to close to the same folders in them like music, music pictures, pictures media, media etc. etc. You get it? You manually HAVE to move the files to your real SD card FIRST and then you can remove it and copy it.. Just highlight everything in the fake SD card and then copy it over to the real one it's really easy.

Wow, I've seen that 3737-3334 before but I have never heard this explanation. I knew we were dealing with virtual paths but had didn't know I had access to a location. This makes sense. Thank you!
