Hi guys,
I'm planning to get a new SD card for my G1 to replace my current 4GB SD Card.
Currently, I'm running Cyanogen 5.0.8 DS and Apps2SD.
If I change to a new SD card, will anything be lost? or is there anything that I will have to take note of in particular?
Thanks!

You will lose all your applications on your SD card, which should be 98% of them. To prevent this from happening, go to the Market and download an application called Backup for Root, it is free. Check APK's and anything else you want and hit backup. The backup will be created on your (old) SD card. Take your SD card and put it in your computer and open it up, you will see that there is a new folder in it called Backup, copy the contents onto your computer. Put the new SD card, fully partitioned, into your phone. Go to the market and reinstall Backup for Root and also place the contents from the backup folder onto your new SD card, check all that apply in the application and hit restore.
Another option:
Using your recovery image, create a backup using Nandroid or BART (I use BART). The backup will be on your old SD card. Take that backup and put it on your computer. Put the BART/Nandroid backup onto your new SD card into your phone and through the recovery window restore it. Make sure your SD card is partitioned in the exact same way, I have not done this method before so be careful. However, if this method works it will ensure that all applications stay intact as opposed to the previous method where some applications just seem to break, it is inevitable.
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?
Before i flashed my phone i saved all the apps i could on my SD card but now i cant seem to find any of them? anyone got any ideas?

Does anyone knows how to move/install your apps on the EXTERNAL sd card? i've got lots of maps and extra games' data on my phone..and when i move them on the external sd card,they are not recognized..
Please help me and other users with the same problem!
Which version of Android are you using?
If you're on ICS then you just go to Systems Settings - Apps. Then you select the app you want to move and you select, "Move to SD card".
I've been on numerous ICS Roms and it's always worked, I'm not sure about GB anymore (I haven't used one for 7 months now )
You can use an app like app2sd, or try to do this manually, like Lord_santa say
I tried both methods but it moves the apps on the INTERNAL sd card..but i want to move them on the EXTERNAL sd card( minisd card that you attach to your phone)
